//! Core crate for the cinderblock framework — a declarative, resource-oriented
//! application framework for Rust.
//!
//! This crate provides the [`resource!`] macro, the [`Resource`] trait, CRUD
//! operation traits ([`Create`], [`Update`], [`Destroy`], [`ReadAction`]), the
//! runtime [`Context`], and a built-in [`InMemoryDataLayer`](data_layer::in_memory::InMemoryDataLayer)
//! for prototyping.
//!
//! # The `resource!` macro
//!
//! The [`resource!`] macro is the primary entry point for defining domain
//! models. It accepts a declarative DSL and generates:
//!
//! - A **struct** with the declared attributes (derives `Serialize`,
//!   `Deserialize`, `Clone`, `Debug`).
//! - A [`Resource`] trait impl with primary key metadata and the configured
//!   data layer.
//! - For each action, a **marker struct** and the corresponding CRUD trait
//!   impl. Create and update actions also generate an **input struct**.
//! - Extension dispatch — each declared extension receives the full DSL
//!   tokens so it can generate its own code (e.g. route handlers, SQL
//!   queries).
//!
//! ## DSL reference
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use cinderblock_core::resource;
//!
//! resource! {
//!     // A dotted name identifying the resource. The last segment becomes the
//!     // struct name; all segments are available at runtime via `Resource::NAME`.
//!     name = Helpdesk.Support.Ticket;
//!
//!     // Optional: override the data layer. Defaults to `InMemoryDataLayer`.
//!     // data_layer = cinderblock_sqlx::sqlite::SqliteDataLayer;
//!
//!     attributes {
//!         // Each attribute is `name Type` followed by either `;` or an options block.
//!         ticket_id Uuid {
//!             primary_key true;   // Marks this as the primary key (default: false).
//!             writable false;     // Excludes from create/update input structs (default: true).
//!             generated true;     // Indicates the PK is auto-generated (default: false).
//!             default || Uuid::new_v4();  // Closure producing a default value.
//!         }
//!
//!         // Simple form — writable, not a primary key, no default.
//!         subject String;
//!         status TicketStatus;
//!     }
//!
//!     actions {
//!         // ── Read actions ──
//!         //
//!         // A read action returns `Vec<Resource>`. It can optionally declare
//!         // arguments (typed query parameters) and filters.
//!
//!         // Minimal read — no filters, no arguments. Arguments type is `()`.
//!         read all;
//!
//!         // Read with a compile-time literal filter.
//!         read open_tickets {
//!             filter { status == TicketStatus::Open };
//!         };
//!
//!         // Read with a runtime argument bound to a filter.
//!         // Generates a `ByStatusArguments` struct with a `status` field.
//!         read by_status {
//!             argument { status: TicketStatus };
//!             filter { status == arg(status) };
//!         };
//!
//!         // Optional arguments use `Option<T>`. When `None`, the filter is
//!         // skipped entirely at runtime.
//!         read search {
//!             argument { status: Option<TicketStatus> };
//!             filter { status == arg(status) };
//!         };
//!
//!         // ── Create actions ──
//!         //
//!         // A create action generates an input struct from the resource's
//!         // writable attributes and a `Create<A>` impl that builds a new
//!         // resource instance.
//!
//!         // Accepts all writable attributes. Generates `OpenInput { subject, status }`.
//!         create open;
//!
//!         // Restrict which fields the input struct includes.
//!         // Generates `AssignInput { subject }`.
//!         create assign {
//!             accept [subject];
//!         };
//!
//!         // ── Update actions ──
//!         //
//!         // An update action fetches the resource by primary key, applies
//!         // changes, and persists the result. It generates an input struct
//!         // and an `Update<A>` impl.
//!
//!         // Accepts all writable attributes.
//!         update edit;
//!
//!         // Accept no fields from the caller, but apply a programmatic
//!         // mutation via `change_ref`. Multiple `change_ref` blocks are
//!         // applied in order.
//!         update close {
//!             accept [];
//!             change_ref |ticket| {
//!                 ticket.status = TicketStatus::Closed;
//!             };
//!         };
//!
//!         // ── Destroy actions ──
//!         //
//!         // A destroy action deletes the resource by primary key.
//!         destroy remove;
//!     }
//!
//!     // Optional: declare extensions. Each extension module receives the
//!     // full resource DSL and its own configuration block, then generates
//!     // additional code (e.g. route handlers, SQL queries).
//!     extensions {
//!         cinderblock_json_api {
//!             route = { method = GET; path = "/"; action = all; };
//!             route = { method = POST; path = "/"; action = open; };
//!         };
//!
//!         cinderblock_sqlx {
//!             table = "tickets";
//!         };
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Generated items
//!
//! For a resource named `Helpdesk.Support.Ticket` with actions `open`
//! (create), `close` (update), `open_tickets` (read), and `remove` (destroy),
//! the macro generates:
//!
//! | Generated item | Kind | Description |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | `Ticket` | struct | The resource struct with all declared attributes |
//! | `Open` | struct (marker) | Create action marker |
//! | `OpenInput` | struct | Input fields for the `open` create action |
//! | `Close` | struct (marker) | Update action marker |
//! | `CloseInput` | struct | Input fields for the `close` update action |
//! | `OpenTickets` | struct (marker) | Read action marker |
//! | `Remove` | struct (marker) | Destroy action marker |
//!
//! Action names are converted to `PascalCase` for the marker and input struct
//! names (e.g. `open_tickets` becomes `OpenTickets`, and its input struct
//! would be `OpenTicketsInput`).
//!
//! ## Using the generated types
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use cinderblock_core::Context;
//!
//! let ctx = Context::new();
//!
//! // Create
//! let ticket = cinderblock_core::create::<Ticket, Open>(
//!     OpenInput { subject: "Printer is broken".into(), status: TicketStatus::Open },
//!     &ctx,
//! ).await?;
//!
//! // Read (with arguments)
//! let open = cinderblock_core::read::<Ticket, ByStatus>(
//!     &ctx,
//!     &ByStatusArguments { status: TicketStatus::Open },
//! ).await?;
//!
//! // Read (no arguments — pass `&()`)
//! let all_open = cinderblock_core::read::<Ticket, OpenTickets>(&ctx, &()).await?;
//!
//! // Update
//! let closed = cinderblock_core::update::<Ticket, Close>(
//!     &ticket.ticket_id,
//!     CloseInput {},
//!     &ctx,
//! ).await?;
//!
//! // Destroy
//! let removed = cinderblock_core::destroy::<Ticket, Remove>(
//!     &ticket.ticket_id,
//!     &ctx,
//! ).await?;
//! ```
