//! Canonical Markdown emission for [`Document`].
//!
//! This module implements [`Document::to_markdown`], which converts a typed
//! in-memory `Document` back into canonical Quillmark Markdown.
//!
//! ## YAML emission strategy
//!
//! Scalar emission (quoting, escaping, multi-line handling) is delegated to
//! `serde-saphyr` — the same library used for parsing. This makes the emit
//! and parse sides of the wire symmetric by construction: anything saphyr
//! decides to quote on emit, saphyr will read back as a string on parse.
//! Delegation also covers the YAML 1.1 edge cases that ad-hoc quoting
//! heuristics miss (`on`/`yes`/`off`, leading-zero integers, `1.0`-style
//! numerics) — saphyr handles them all.
//!
//! `prefer_block_scalars: false` keeps multi-line strings inline as
//! double-quoted scalars with `\n` escapes, so the emitter never produces
//! `|` or `>` block forms in v1.
//!
//! This module owns the surrounding structure — `~~~` card-yaml fences,
//! `$`-prefixed system-metadata lines, field ordering, indentation, comment
//! interleaving — and calls saphyr only for the scalar leaves.

impl Document {
    /// Emit canonical Quillmark Markdown from this document.
    ///
    /// # Contract
    ///
    /// 1. **Type-fidelity round-trip.** `Document::from_markdown(&doc.to_markdown())`
    ///    returns a `Document` equal to `doc` by value *and* by type variant.
    ///    `QuillValue::String("on")` round-trips as a string, never as a bool.
    ///    `QuillValue::String("01234")` round-trips as a string, never as an
    ///    integer.  This guarantee is the whole point of owning emission.
    ///
    /// 2. **Emit-idempotent.** `to_markdown` is a pure function of `doc`; two
    ///    calls on the same `doc` return byte-equal strings.
    ///
    /// Byte-equality with the *original source* is **not** guaranteed.
    ///
    /// # Emission rules (§5.2)
    ///
    /// - Line endings: `\n` only.  CRLF normalization happens on import.
    /// - Every block is emitted as a `~~~` card-yaml fence: a bare `~~~`
    ///   opener, the `$`-prefixed system-metadata lines (`$quill: <ref>` for
    ///   the root block, `$kind: <kind>` for composable cards) leading the
    ///   YAML payload, the user-defined data fields, then a closing `~~~`.
    /// - Cards: one blank line before each, then the block, then the card body.
    /// - Body: emitted verbatim after the root block (and after each card).
    /// - Mappings and sequences: **block style** at every nesting level.
    /// - Scalars (booleans, null, numbers, strings): delegated to
    ///   `serde-saphyr`, which emits the type-canonical form (`true`/
    ///   `false`, `null`, bare numeric literal) and quotes strings only
    ///   when the unquoted form would be misread (`on`/`yes`/`off`,
    ///   `null`/`~`, numeric-looking strings, leading flow indicators,
    ///   `: ` runs, …).  Quoting form is not stable — what matters is
    ///   that the emitted scalar round-trips to the same `QuillValue`
    ///   variant. This is the type-fidelity guarantee.
    /// - Multi-line strings: emitted as inline double-quoted scalars with
    ///   `\n` escapes; no `|` / `>` block forms.
    ///
    /// # Open decisions (resolved)
    ///
    /// - **Nested-map order.** `QuillValue` is backed by `serde_json::Value`
    ///   whose object type (`serde_json::Map`) preserves insertion order when the
    ///   `serde_json/preserve_order` feature is enabled (it is in this workspace).
    ///   Insertion order is therefore preserved for nested maps at emit time.
    ///
    /// - **Empty containers.**
    ///   - Empty object (`{}`) → the key is **omitted** from emit entirely.
    ///   - Empty array (`[]`) → emitted as `key: []\n`.
    ///
    /// # What is preserved
    ///
    /// - **YAML comments**: own-line and inline trailing comments round-trip
    ///   at their source position. Comments whose host disappears at emit time
    ///   (empty-mapping omission, programmatic field removal) degrade to
    ///   own-line comments at the same indent so the comment text is preserved
    ///   even when its position shifts.
    /// - **`!must_fill` tags**: round-trip via the `fill` flag on `PayloadItem::Field`.
    ///
    /// # What is lost
    ///
    /// - **Other custom tags** (`!include`, `!env`, …): the tag is dropped;
    ///   the scalar value is preserved.
    /// - **Original quoting style**: strings are re-emitted in saphyr's
    ///   canonical form (plain when safe, quoted when ambiguous). The
    ///   form chosen for emit may not match the form in the source.
