//! NAPI-RS capsule-type codegen: `External<T>` + `__parser` property passthrough.
//!
//! When `[crates.node.capsule_types]` is configured, types listed there are NOT emitted
//! as `#[napi]` opaque wrappers. Instead, functions returning those types produce a
//! `JsObject` carrying a `Napi::External<T>` in a `__parser` property.
//!
//! Only the `"external_pointer"` construct variant is implemented. The emitted shim:
//!   1. Calls the core function to obtain the Rust value.
//!   2. Calls `value.into_raw()` to get a raw pointer (assumed available on the type).
//!   3. Creates a `JsObject`, sets `__parser` to `env.create_external(ptr, None)`.
//!   4. Returns the object.
//!
//! Assumption: the capsule type exposes `pub fn into_raw(self) -> *const <opaque>`.
//! If the method name differs in a future version, the generated Rust shim will fail
//! at compile time in the downstream crate (not silently at runtime).
