//! Text level format and puzzle rules (spec §5.1).
//!
//! A level file has key/value header lines, then a `map:` section, e.g.:
//!
//! ```text
//! name: First Steps
//! posts: 1
//! crab: 0,1 R L common
//! solution: 3,1 U
//! map:
//! +-+-+-+-+
//! |. . . 0|
//! + +-+ + +
//! |. .|. .|
//! +-+-+-+-+
//! ```
//!
//! The map is a half-resolution lattice: tile `(x, y)` sits at lattice
//! `(2x+1, 2y+1)`; the character between two tiles is their shared wall
//! (`-`/`|` wall, anything else open). Tile characters: `.` sand, `#` rock,
//! `0`–`3` castle of that player. Crabs and spawners are header lines, not
//! map characters, because they carry more data than one character holds:
//! `crab: x,y DIR HAND KIND` and `spawner: x,y DIR period`.
//!
//! Puzzles are played with a fixed signpost inventory (`posts:`) under
//! `CapPolicy::Reject`, and won when every crab has banked. `solution:` lines
//! are machine-checked by tests, so a level that ships is a level that is
//! solvable.
//!
//! `kind: puzzle|arena` says which of the two a level is (see [`LevelKind`]),
//! and so which list it joins. Files written before the editor had that
//! toggle leave it out, and are read off their castles.
