//! Renderer for [`BlockDiagram`]. Produces a fixed-width grid of Unicode boxes
//! with a text edge summary below.
//!
//! ## Layout
//!
//! Blocks are laid out in a grid. Each column is sized to the widest block
//! label that falls into it (a spanning block's label is spread across its
//! columns). The grid is rendered with Unicode box-drawing corners and
//! horizontal/vertical rules.
//!
//! Example for `columns 3`, blocks A, B (span 2), C:
//!
//! ```text
//! ┌───┐ ┌───────┐ ┌───┐
//! │ A │ │   B   │ │ C │
//! └───┘ └───────┘ └───┘
//! ```
//!
//! Edges are listed as a text summary below the grid:
//!
//! ```text
//! Edges:
//!   A ──► B
//!   B ──► C
//! ```
//!
//! ## max_width
//!
//! When `max_width` is `Some(n)`, block label text is truncated with `…` so
//! that the total grid width does not exceed the budget. The edge summary is
//! not truncated.
//!
//! ## Phase 1 limitations
//!
//! - Only rectangle-shaped blocks are rendered; all shape variants are normalised
//!   to plain rectangular boxes.
//! - Nested blocks are not rendered (they are ignored by the parser).
//! - Vertical spanning (multi-row blocks) is not supported.
//! - Edge labels appear in the text summary only — no inline arrow decoration
//!   on the grid itself.
//! - Close-together points in the grid are separated by a single space column;
//!   very long labels may slightly exceed `max_width` when `max_width` is tight.
