//! Dialogue dialect — a versioned, pure-JSON, authoring-time/tooling schema
//! describing a project's dialogue-line conventions (cues, parentheticals,
//! dialogue chains) so the editor can classify and decorate lines without
//! hardcoding any one convention. See `docs/dialect-spec.md` (#368).
//!
//! **Scope ruling (the big one):** the dialect is an authoring-time/tooling
//! artifact — it is **never** runtime-delivered. It has no `.inkb` embedding
//! and no project-file home in v1 (mount-time config only), mirroring the
//! host-capability-manifest charter (see `host_manifest.rs`). The `emitted`
//! facet exists so the *editor* can model what the runtime will see; it does
//! not instruct any runtime.
//!
//! The artifact splits into two sections with different owners
//! (separate-concerns-by-ownership):
//! - **Semantics core** (`elements`, `chain`) — the durable truth, and the
//!   future host-capability-manifest section. This is what a future runtime
//!   consumer (a game engine plugin) would read.
//! - **Editor overlay** (`transitions`, per-element `template`) — pure editor
//!   UX. Never travels beyond tooling.
//!
//! `Default` reproduces today's hardcoded `@Name:<>` at-cue screenplay
//! behavior byte-for-byte (see `element-type.ts`'s screenplay post-pass and
//! `screenplay.ts`'s `CHAR_SUFFIX_LEN`/`GLUE_LEN`/`characterName()`).
