# Glimpse

Schema-neutral summary helper. Customer code supplies the domain-specific
fields; `glimpse(...)` only normalizes the result into JSON-compatible
values and produces a `{count, sample}` fallback for sequence inputs.

## `glimpse`

`glimpse(value: 'Any', *, max_items: 'int' = 3) -> 'dict[str, Any]'`

<table>

<td><code>Any</code></td>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

<p><strong>Returns:</strong> <code>dict[str, Any]</code></p>

Build a small schema-neutral glimpse from customer-provided data.

Domain-specific fields belong in customer code. For example, a customer can
pass a hand-built summary dict from ``ReferenceSpec.glimpse`` and this helper
will only normalize it to JSON-compatible values.
