//! Automatically assert the stability of encoding and mechanisms over time.
//!
//! This crate provides a unified infrastructure for verifying that
//! implementations maintain backward compatibility by comparing output
//! against known-good hash values stored in TOML files.
//!
//! # The `Conformance` Trait
//!
//! The core abstraction is the [`Conformance`] trait, which represents
//! types that can produce deterministic bytes from a seed.
//!
//! This enables conformance testing across different domains, for example:
//! - **Codec**: Verify wire format stability
//! - **Storage**: Verify on-disk format stability
//! - **Network**: Verify message ordering consistency
//!
//! # Storage Format
//!
//! Test vectors are stored in a TOML file with a single hash per type:
//!
//! ```toml
//! ["Vec<u8>"]
//! n_cases = 100
//! hash = "abc123..."
//!
//! ["Vec<u16>"]
//! n_cases = 100
//! hash = "def456..."
//! ```
//!
//! The hash is computed by generating `n_cases` commitments (using seeds
//! 0..n_cases), and hashing all the bytes together.
//!
//! # Regeneration Mode
//!
//! When `cfg(generate_conformance_tests)` is set, tests regenerate their
//! expected hashes in the TOML file. Use this to intentionally update
//! the format:
//!
//! ```bash
//! RUSTFLAGS="--cfg generate_conformance_tests" cargo test
//! ```
