11/// Compile-time type tag for a port on a Polydat node.
12///
13/// **Narrow types and runtime storage:**
14///
15/// `PortType` includes narrow integer and float variants (U8/U16/U32,
16/// I8/I16/I32, F16/F32) that have no `Value` of their own. At
17/// runtime, narrow values are stored in the wide `Value` of their
18/// kind, with the assumption that the bits fit:
19///
20/// - unsigned (`u8`, `u16`, `u32`) → zero-extended in `Value::U64`
21/// - signed (`i8`, `i16`, `i32`) → sign-extended in `Value::I64`
22/// - `f32` → losslessly widened in `Value::F64` (`f16` rides
23/// `Value::U64` as its bit pattern; see [`PortType::F16`])
24///
25/// The narrow `PortType` variants exist for compile-time type
26/// checking and auto-adapter insertion (`U32ToU64`, `F32ToF64`).
27/// P2/P3 compiled kernels use flat u64 buffers where this packing
28/// is natural. The `Value` enum stays small — no combinatorial
29/// explosion of narrow variant types.
30///
31/// Every input and output port declares its `PortType`. The assembler
32/// uses these to validate wiring and auto-insert type adapters (e.g.,
33/// `u64 → f64` widening). At runtime, the corresponding `Value`
34/// variant is used.
35///
36/// **Widening rules** (auto-inserted by the assembler):
37/// - `U32 → U64`, `I32 → I64`, `F32 → F64` (lossless widening)
38/// - `U64 → F64` (lossless for values < 2^53)
39/// - `Bool → U64` (true=1, false=0)
40/// - Any type → `Str` (via display conversion)
41///
42/// **Narrowing** is never implicit — use explicit cast functions.
43///
44/// **Exhaustive on purpose.** The language grows a type now and then,
45/// and a `match` over every variant is then a compile error until it
46/// decides what the new type means. Polydat's own code relies on that,
47/// and so should a host's code that behaves differently per type. A host
48/// that only names or classifies types should not match at all: use
49/// [`Self::to_keyword`] or `Display` for a label, [`Self::from_keyword`]
50/// to parse one, and [`Self::numeric_domain`] or polydat's `SlotShape`
51/// queries to classify, none of which breaks when a type is added.
