//! The tmux control-mode protocol.
//!
//! [`Decoder`] is pure: lines in, [`Event`]s out. The transport that feeds it
//! lives in [`super::client`].
//!
//! Three properties of the real protocol drive the design, all confirmed
//! against tmux 3.6b rather than taken from the manual:
//!
//! - **Command output inside a `%begin`/`%end` block is opaque.** `list-panes`
//!   legitimately returns lines like `%0`. Dispatching on a leading `%` without
//!   tracking block state would read pane ids as notifications.
//! - **`%output` payloads are octal-escaped**, not C-escaped: `\033`, `\015`,
//!   and `\134` for a literal backslash. They carry arbitrary bytes, including
//!   invalid UTF-8, so payloads stay as `Vec<u8>`.
//! - **The stream is wrapped in a DCS sequence.** Attaching emits a leading
//!   `\x1bP1000p`, and the terminator arrives on exit.

/// One decoded protocol message.
