1//! A small, dependency-free YAML *subset* used for OKF frontmatter.
2//!
3//! OKF frontmatter is, in practice, a flat-ish YAML mapping of scalars, lists,
4//! and occasionally nested mappings (see the [specification][spec] §4.1). A
5//! full YAML 1.2 engine would be overkill and would pull in dependencies, so
6//! this module implements the pragmatic subset that real frontmatter uses:
7//!
8//! - block mappings (`key: value`), including nested/indented blocks;
9//! - block sequences (`- item`);
10//! - flow collections (`[a, b]`, `{a: 1, b: 2}`);
11//! - plain, single-quoted, and double-quoted scalars;
12//! - literal (`|`) and folded (`>`) block scalars;
13//! - `#` comments and blank lines;
14//! - the core scalar types: null, bool, int, float, string.
15//!
16//! Plain and quoted scalars may span lines, folding each break into a single
17//! space, because `PyYAML`'s `safe_dump` wraps any value past its 80-column line
18//! width and the reference implementation publishes bundles that way.
19//!
20//! It deliberately does **not** support anchors/aliases, explicit tags
21//! (`!!str`), multiple documents, or complex (non-scalar) mapping keys. Those
22//! never appear in well-formed OKF frontmatter; encountering them yields a
23//! clear [`YamlError`] rather than silent misbehaviour.
24//!
25//! The guarantee that matters for OKF round-tripping is:
26//! `parse(emit(parse(x))) == parse(x)`. Emitting and re-parsing preserves the
27//! logical value and key order. This mirrors the reference implementation's
28//! `OKFDocument` round-trip test.
29//!
30//! ## Timestamps are strings
31//!
32//! One deliberate divergence from `PyYAML`: YAML's implicit resolver types a bare
33//! `2026-12-31` as a date and a bare `2026-06-30T14:00:00Z` as a datetime, while
34//! this module keeps every scalar of either shape as a string. The OKF layer
35//! loses nothing, since [`DateField`](crate::DateField) and
36//! [`DateTimeField`](crate::DateTimeField) keep the text beside the parsed
37//! value, and it means a malformed date can be reported rather than silently
38//! dropped (§11).
39//!
40//! The consequence shows up on the way out. A bare ISO datetime is not stable
41//! even under the reference's own round-trip: `PyYAML` loads it into a `datetime`
42//! and dumps it back as `2026-06-30 14:00:00+00:00`, losing the `T` and `Z`
43//! separators §5.2 asks for. A quoted one survives byte-identical. So the
44//! emitter quotes a datetime-valued string and leaves a bare `YYYY-MM-DD` plain,
45//! which is how both the specification and the reference write `stale_after`,
46//! `last_modified`, and `usage_window`.
