150/// The parts of a list row.

152/// `#[non_exhaustive]`: a renderer carries a wildcard arm, so a new part is not
153/// a lockstep event across three renderers.
154///
155/// # Meta against Tokens
156///
157/// The line is whether the thing has its own standing. `Meta` is one short
158/// trailing fact about the row, written as text: a count, a size, a date.
159/// `Tokens` is a set of small labelled things, each of which can be toned and
160/// can answer a click. "3 files" is meta. A status badge that is amber, and a
161/// tag you can click to filter by, are tokens.
162///
163/// Keeping them apart is what a single widened slot would have foreclosed. A
164/// renderer can right-align one string and cannot usefully do the same to a
165/// strip of chips, and a fact that is not clickable should not be drawn as
166/// though it were.
167/// How much vertical room a part's text may take.
168///
169/// A row is an inline run and every part in it is a leaf, so a part's text has
170/// always been drawn on one line and no description could say otherwise. Two
171/// apps say otherwise in their own stylesheets, both to the same number and
172/// both with a comment explaining it: Balanced Breakfast clamps a feed row's
173/// title to two lines (`.row--article .row-primary`, whose comment reads
174/// "overrides .row-primary's single flex line"), and goingson clamps a
175/// problem's body to two ("two lines is enough to recognize one, and the full
176/// text is in the task once promoted").
177///
178/// Two named tiers rather than a line count, and the count is what the measured
179/// demand argues against. Both sites want exactly one tier past the default,
180/// and a number invites a row whose primary is a paragraph, which is a block
181/// and has no business in a run. A third tier is a decision, made here, rather
182/// than something a call site can reach for.
183///
184/// What a renderer owes it: `Tight` is what a run already does and needs no
185/// answer. `Relaxed` is at most two lines and then truncation, however that
186/// renderer truncates -- a webview clamps, a terminal wraps into two rows of
187/// cells, an immediate-mode renderer caps the galley. A renderer that cannot
188/// give two lines may draw one; what it may not do is grow without bound,
189/// because the run is a line and the row's neighbours are relying on that.

220/// How deep a row sits inside a set: a tree, an outline, a threaded list.
221///
222/// [`RowPart`] below already names what is *in* a row; nothing named where a
223/// row sits relative to its siblings, so every consumer that had a hierarchy
224/// carried a bare number and every renderer decided for itself what one was
225/// worth.
226///
227/// # Not `Depth`, and the collision is the reason
228///
229/// [`Depth`] is taken and means something else entirely: surface bevel --
230/// `Flat`, `Raised`, `Well`, `Sunken`, `Overlay` -- a fact about a surface
231/// rather than a position in a hierarchy. Two meanings under one word in one
232/// crate is the collision that costs a reader an hour, and the word this
233/// concept wants is the one that would cause it.
234///
235/// # The magnitude is the renderer's, and that is the precedent
236///
237/// [`Awaiting`] is the shape: this crate names the fact and declines to name
238/// what it is worth. makeover-webview writes the rule as a custom property with
239/// a fallback -- the way it writes `margin-inline-start: var(--awaiting-gap,
240/// 0.5ch)` -- so a level has one answer per renderer and an app can override
241/// it. A terminal spends columns, a browser spends inline space, and neither
242/// number belongs in a description.
