//! Inline UUencode scanner for MIME body parts.
//!
//! # What is inline UUencode?
//!
//! UUencode (Unix-to-Unix encoding) predates MIME by over a decade.  Before
//! MIME standardised `Content-Transfer-Encoding` in 1992, UUencode was the
//! dominant way to send binary attachments over 7-bit text networks (Usenet,
//! early SMTP).  A UU block looks like:
//!
//! ```text
//! begin 644 filename.bin
//! M<encoded data lines>
//! `
//! end
//! ```
//!
//! # Why this appears in practice
//!
//! Many mail archives and mailing-list digests from the 1990s and early 2000s
//! contain messages where binary files were embedded as literal UU blocks
//! inside `text/plain` bodies — no `Content-Transfer-Encoding` header, no
//! MIME multipart wrapper.  Modern mail clients also sometimes produce hybrid
//! messages: a MIME-structured outer shell with an inner `text/plain` part
//! that still contains legacy inline UU attachments.
//!
//! # This module vs. `parse()` / `decode_body_value()`
//!
//! [`parse()`][crate::parse] and [`decode_body_value()`][crate::decode_body_value]
//! handle the RFC 2045 `Content-Transfer-Encoding: x-uuencode` case — a part
//! whose *entire body* is one UU-encoded blob declared via a MIME header.
//!
//! [`scan_inline_uuencode()`] is completely separate and opt-in.  It operates
//! on the raw bytes of a part's body (typically a `text/plain` part) and
//! searches for one or more `begin … end` UU blocks embedded anywhere within
//! the body text.  It does **not** call `parse()` or `decode_body_value()`
//! internally, and it does not modify the [`ParsedPart`][crate::ParsedPart] tree.
//!
//! Callers decide when to invoke this scanner.  A reasonable heuristic is to
//! call it on any `text/plain` leaf part whose decoded text contains the
//! literal string `"begin "`.

/// real-world tolerance built into that crate (CRLF line endings, space/backtick
/// zero-value handling, `begin-base64` detection, data-after-terminator
/// discarding, etc.) applies automatically.
///
/// # Parameters
///
/// * `raw`  — the full raw message bytes (same buffer you passed to
///   [`parse()`][crate::parse]).
/// * `part` — a [`ParsedPart`][crate::ParsedPart] from the parsed tree.
///   Only `part.body_range` is used to locate the relevant slice of `raw`.
///
/// # Return value
///
/// An empty `Vec` when:
/// - the body contains no `begin … end` blocks,
/// - `part.body_range` is out of bounds for `raw`.
///
/// Otherwise, one entry per block found, in the order they appear in the body.
///
/// # Notes
///
/// * This function does **not** call `decode_body_value()` internally.  It
///   works directly on the raw bytes of the body without any
///   transfer-encoding decode or charset conversion.
/// * Byte offsets in the returned [`InlineUUBlock`]s are absolute — they are
///   relative to the start of `raw`, matching the coordinate space of
///   `part.body_range`.
/// * For error items where [`InlineUUBlock::is_encoding_problem`] is `true`,
///   `begin_offset` is the position of the offending `begin` or `begin-base64`
///   line within `raw` and `begin_length` is `0`.  The slicing invariant
///   (`raw[begin_offset..begin_offset + begin_length]` == block) does not hold.
/// * No panic occurs on any input (malformed, truncated, or adversarial).
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust
/// use mime_tree::{parse, scan_inline_uuencode};
///
/// // A text/plain message with an inline UU block.
/// // Oracle (Python 3.12 `uu` module):
/// //   uu.encode(b"Hello", ...) → b'begin 644 hello.txt\n%2&5L;&\\ \n \nend\n'
/// let raw: &[u8] = b"Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\nbegin 644 hello.txt\n%2&5L;&\\ \n \nend\n";
/// let msg = parse(raw).unwrap();
/// let part = msg.part_index.find_by_id("1").unwrap();
///
/// let blocks = scan_inline_uuencode(raw, part);
/// assert_eq!(blocks.len(), 1);
