//! Read-only policy context for one buffered encode attempt.

/// Read-only context supplied to an encode policy hook.
///
/// The engine retains ownership of the mutable output slice. Hooks can inspect
/// the current value and cursor/capacity metadata, then return an
/// [`crate::engine::EncodeUnencodableAction`] without being able to mutate
/// output behind the engine's progress accounting.
///
/// In a codec-backed converter, values emitted by source decode reset or
/// finish have no source-unit position and use placeholder index 0. Ordinary
/// decoded values retain their index in the input slice supplied to the
/// decode call that produced them. A pending value keeps that index across
/// calls; it is not rebased to a later input slice and is not a whole-stream
/// offset. The retained index may be outside the bounds of a later input
/// slice.
///
/// # Type Parameters
///
/// - `Value`: Logical input value type.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use qubit_codec::engine::EncodeContext;
///
/// let value = 7_u8;
/// let context = EncodeContext::new(&value, 0, 0, 1);
/// assert_eq!(context.input_value(), &7);
/// ```
