overview.rs

//! Shared overview composer used by both the `memstead_overview` MCP tool
//! and the full CLI overview command.
//!
//! Lifted from `memstead-mcp/src/server.rs::memstead_overview_unified`.
//! The function produces structurally identical markdown for both
//! surfaces; the only delta is the inline command-name hints
//! (`memstead_schema(name=<ref>)` on MCP vs `memstead type <ref>` on the CLI,
//! and equivalent pairs for `memstead_mem_create` / `memstead_mem_delete`).
//!
//! The MCP wrapper handles drift-warning collection, response-cap
//! chunking, and envelope wrapping — none of that lives here. The full
//! CLI command applies its own chunking + markdown/JSON output mode.
