//! Protocol trait hierarchy.
//!
//! A `Protocol` is a zero-sized type that ties together the four axes of
//! variation across WSJT-family digital modes:
//!
//! | Axis               | Trait              | Examples                          |
//! |--------------------|--------------------|-----------------------------------|
//! | Tones / baseband   | `ModulationParams` | 8-FSK @ 6.25 Hz (FT8) vs 4-FSK (FT4) |
//! | Frame layout       | `FrameLayout`      | Costas pattern, sync positions    |
//! | FEC                | `FecCodec`         | LDPC(174,91) / Reed–Solomon / Fano |
//! | Message payload    | `MessageCodec`     | WSJT 77-bit / JT 72-bit / WSPR 50 |
//!
//! Splitting the traits lets implementations share code: FT4 reuses FT8's
//! `Ldpc174_91` and `Wsjt77Message` and differs only in `ModulationParams` +
//! `FrameLayout`, so SIMD optimisations to the shared LDPC decoder
//! automatically benefit every LDPC-based protocol.
