//! **Signal Metadata Format (SigMF) recordings: read and write complex IQ.**
//!
//! SigMF is the open recording format used across the software-defined-radio community:
//! a recording is a pair of files, a JSON metadata file (`.sigmf-meta`) and a raw sample
//! file (`.sigmf-data`) holding interleaved in-phase and quadrature (IQ) samples in the
//! data type the metadata names. This module converts between that pair and the engine's
//! complex sample type ([`crate::sdr::Cf64`]), so a real recording can be brought in, its
//! power spectral density estimated ([`crate::spectrum::welch_psd`]) and compared with the
//! modelled spectrum, and a modelled signal can be written out for another tool.
//!
//! Everything here works on strings and byte buffers. Reading and writing the files
//! themselves is the caller's business, which keeps the module free of filesystem access
//! and usable from the WebAssembly build.
//!
//! ## What is supported
//!
//! * `core:datatype` `cf32_le` (32-bit float I and Q, little-endian), `ci16_le` (16-bit
//!   signed integer I and Q, little-endian) and `ci8` (8-bit signed integer I and Q). The
//!   integer decoders are the raw-IF loader [`crate::realdata::iqif::load_iq`], so the two
//!   ingest paths cannot drift. Other data types (real-valued, big-endian, unsigned,
//!   64-bit) are refused with a message naming the type rather than misread.
//! * The `global`, `captures` and `annotations` objects, with the `core:` fields listed on
//!   [`Global`], [`Capture`] and [`Annotation`]. Fields outside that list are ignored on
//!   read and not written, so a round trip keeps the fields this module knows.
//! * A single-channel recording. `core:num_channels` above one is refused.
//!
//! Writing stamps `core:version` as `1.0.0`, the SigMF release every field written here
//! belongs to. Reading accepts any version string.
//!
//! Reference: the SigMF specification, <https://github.com/sigmf/SigMF> (`sigmf-spec.md`).
