//! A complete board, written out and read back exactly.
//!
//! The level format describes a *starting* board: authoring data, tile
//! aligned, no creature mid-stride and no PRNG position. That is the right
//! shape for a level and the wrong shape for saving a round in progress,
//! which needs every field [`Board::state_hash`] covers or the board it
//! reloads is a different board from the next tick onward.
//!
//! So this is the other half: `parse(to_snapshot(board))` has the same
//! state hash as `board` for any board, however far into a round it is.
//!
//! The completeness is held by the compiler, not by vigilance:
//! [`Board::parse_snapshot`] builds its result with a struct literal naming
//! every field, so a field added to `Board` fails to build here until
//! somebody decides how it travels.
