Universal wire format for Shape values - serialization and type metadata

Shape Wire Format

Universal serialization format for Shape values with type metadata. This crate provides the data exchange format for:

  • REPL communication (engine <-> CLI)
  • fchart interoperability
  • Plugin data exchange
  • External tool integration

Design Goals

  1. Fast: Uses MessagePack for compact binary serialization
  2. Type-aware: Carries type metadata for proper display/parsing
  3. Format-flexible: Supports multiple display formats per type
  4. Lossless: Raw values can be round-tripped without data loss
