10/// Context for one encode attempt inside a buffered encoder engine.
11///
12/// The context carries the current input value and output cursor. It does not
13/// contain the prepared [`crate::EncodePlan`]; the engine keeps planning
14/// separate so callers and hooks can distinguish cursor state from policy
15/// state.

17/// # Type Parameters
18///
19/// - `Value`: Logical input value type.
20/// - `Unit`: Encoded output unit type.
