//! Byte-first normalized virtual resource paths.
//!
//! `dream-path` owns the path normalization shared by archive readers, VFS,
//! resource loading, rendering-side resource lookup, and tooling. The rules are
//! intentionally the boring OpenMW-style virtual path rules:
//!
//! - `\` becomes `/`
//! - ASCII uppercase letters become lowercase
//! - repeated separators collapse
//! - leading separators are discarded
//! - arbitrary non-UTF-8 bytes are preserved
//!
//! The rules are byte-literal: `///` normalizes to an empty byte string, while a
//! non-leading trailing separator is kept (`foo/` stays `foo/`).
//!
//! It does not decode legacy filename encodings, perform Unicode
//! normalization, case-fold non-ASCII text, interpret host filesystem paths, or
//! compute archive-format hashes. Those are separate jobs. Mixing them into the
//! path type would be a small architectural crime, so naturally we avoid doing
//! that.
//!
//! ## Lua API
//!
//! Enable the `lua` feature to embed the same byte-preserving normalization API
//! into an existing [`mlua::Lua`] state. [`lua::create_module`] builds the API
//! table without registering a global, while [`lua::register_module`] installs it
//! as the default `dream_path` global.
//!
//! The `lua` feature does not choose a Lua backend. Engine/application crates own
//! that decision and should enable exactly one shared [`mlua`] runtime for the
//! final dependency graph. `DreamWeave` recommends `LuaJIT` in 5.2 compatibility mode
//! and does not currently test these bindings against other Lua runtimes. If a
//! host chooses another backend, it owns that compatibility burden. For standalone
//! documentation and local smoke tests, the `standalone-lua` feature enables
//! `lua` plus `mlua`'s `luajit52` and `vendored` features.
//!
//! The Lua API treats Lua strings as raw path bytes, preserving invalid UTF-8 and
//! embedded NUL bytes. It is embed-only: this crate does not provide a `cdylib`
//! Lua module loader, and hosts that already own a different Lua runtime should
//! bind the Rust byte API themselves.
