//! Issue #6 — binary, reference-based wire format for a damage frame.
//!
//! `encode` a [`Frame`] to bytes, `decode` them back; the round-trip is the
//! contract. Reference-based (colour refs, Unicode scalars — never resolved RGB
//! or atlas ids) so the engine stays theme- and font-agnostic; the consumer's
//! adapter resolves references before handing cells to the renderer. Format spec
//! and rationale: `docs/architecture.md` §Serialization + ADR-0005.
