//! Magic file parser module
//!
//! This module handles parsing of magic files into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
//! that can be evaluated against file buffers for type identification.
//!
//! # Overview
//!
//! The parser implements a complete pipeline for transforming magic file text into
//! a hierarchical rule structure suitable for evaluation. The pipeline consists of:
//!
//! 1. **Preprocessing**: Line handling, comment removal, continuation processing
//! 2. **Parsing**: Individual magic rule parsing using nom combinators
//! 3. **Hierarchy Building**: Constructing parent-child relationships based on indentation
//! 4. **Validation**: Type checking and offset resolution
//!
//! # Format Detection and Loading
//!
//! The module automatically detects and handles three types of magic file formats:
//! - **Text files**: Human-readable magic rule definitions
//! - **Directories**: Collections of magic files (Magdir pattern)
//! - **Binary files**: Compiled .mgc files (currently unsupported)
//!
//! ## Unified Loading API
//!
//! The recommended entry point for loading magic files is [`load_magic_file()`], which
//! automatically detects the format and dispatches to the appropriate handler:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use libmagic_rs::parser::load_magic_file;
//! use std::path::Path;
//!
//! // Works with text files
//! let rules = load_magic_file(Path::new("/usr/share/misc/magic"))?;
//!
//! // Also works with directories
//! let rules = load_magic_file(Path::new("/usr/share/misc/magic.d"))?;
//!
//! // Binary .mgc files return an error with guidance
//! match load_magic_file(Path::new("/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc")) {
//!     Ok(rules) => { /* ... */ },
//!     Err(e) => eprintln!("Use --use-builtin for binary files: {}", e),
//! }
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Three-Tier Loading Strategy
//!
//! The loading process works as follows:
//!
//! 1. **Format Detection**: [`detect_format()`] examines the path to determine the file type
//! 2. **Dispatch to Handler**:
//!    - Text files -> [`parse_text_magic_file()`] after reading contents
//!    - Directories -> [`load_magic_directory()`] to load and merge all files
//!    - Binary files -> Returns error suggesting `--use-builtin` option
//! 3. **Return Merged Rules**: All rules are returned in a single `Vec<MagicRule>`
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ## Loading Magic Files (Recommended)
//!
//! Use the unified [`load_magic_file()`] API for automatic format detection:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use libmagic_rs::parser::load_magic_file;
//! use std::path::Path;
//!
//! let rules = load_magic_file(Path::new("/usr/share/misc/magic"))?;
//! println!("Loaded {} magic rules", rules.len());
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Parsing Text Content Directly
//!
//! For parsing magic rule text that's already in memory:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use libmagic_rs::parser::parse_text_magic_file;
//!
//! let magic_content = r#"
//! 0 string \x7fELF ELF executable
//! >4 byte 1 32-bit
//! >4 byte 2 64-bit
//! "#;
//!
//! let rules = parse_text_magic_file(magic_content)?;
//! assert_eq!(rules.len(), 1);
//! assert_eq!(rules[0].children.len(), 2);
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Loading a Directory Explicitly
//!
//! For Magdir-style directories containing multiple magic files:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use libmagic_rs::parser::load_magic_directory;
//! use std::path::Path;
//!
//! // Directory structure:
//! // /usr/share/file/magic.d/
//! //   ├── elf
//! //   ├── archive
//! //   └── text
//!
//! let rules = load_magic_directory(Path::new("/usr/share/file/magic.d"))?;
//! // Rules from all files are merged in alphabetical order by filename
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Migration Note
//!
//! **For users upgrading from direct function calls:**
//!
//! - **Old approach**: Call `detect_format()` then dispatch manually
//! - **New approach**: Use `load_magic_file()` for automatic dispatching
//!
//! The individual functions (`parse_text_magic_file()`, `load_magic_directory()`)
//! remain available for advanced use cases where you need direct control.
//!
//! **Key differences:**
//! - `load_magic_file()`: Unified API with automatic format detection (recommended)
//! - `parse_text_magic_file()`: Parses a single text string containing magic rules
//! - `load_magic_directory()`: Loads and merges all magic files from a directory
//! - `detect_format()`: Low-level format detection (now called internally by `load_magic_file()`)
//!
//! **Error handling in `load_magic_directory()`:**
//! - Critical errors (I/O failures, invalid UTF-8): Returns `ParseError` immediately
//! - Non-critical errors (parse failures in individual files): Logs warning to stderr and continues
