//! Zstandard encoder — frame compression, streaming, dictionary support.
//!
//! Four entry points cover the common use cases:
//!
//! * [`compress`] — one-shot helper that builds a self-contained
//!   Zstandard frame from a `Read` source to a `Write` sink. The
//!   input is consumed incrementally from `Read`, so input buffering
//!   stays bounded; however, the compressed output is buffered in
//!   memory until the frame is complete so the Frame Content Size
//!   field can be filled in the header — peak memory is
//!   `O(compressed_size)` (worst-case `O(input_size)` for
//!   incompressible payloads, plus a small frame overhead). The
//!   savings vs [`compress_to_vec`] come from not materialising the
//!   input alongside the output.
//! * [`compress_to_vec`] — same one-shot path as [`compress`] but
//!   the input is eagerly drained into an internal `Vec` first
//!   (`read_to_end`) so the encoder can be handed a `&[u8]` and a
//!   precise source-size hint. Peak memory is therefore ≈
//!   `input_size + output_size`; prefer [`compress`] or
//!   [`StreamingEncoder`] when the input is large or unbounded.
//! * [`StreamingEncoder`] — implements [`crate::io::Write`], which
//!   re-exports [`std::io::Write`] under the `std` feature and falls
//!   back to a `no_std`-friendly trait otherwise. Accepts bytes
//!   incrementally and flushes compressed output as blocks fill.
//!   Requires `set_pledged_content_size` before the first write if
//!   the Frame Content Size field is to be populated.
//! * [`FrameCompressor`] — lower-level builder that owns the matcher and
//!   the per-frame configuration; the streaming and one-shot helpers are
//!   thin wrappers over it. Reach for it when you need to swap in a custom
//!   [`Matcher`] implementation or share the matcher across frames.
//!
//! Compression intensity is selected via [`CompressionLevel`], which
//! provides both named presets (`Fastest`, `Default`, `Better`, `Best`) and
//! numeric levels (`from_level(n)`) that mirror C zstd's level numbering
//! (negative for ultra-fast, `0` = default, `1..=22` for the standard
//! range).
//!
//! All produced frames are valid RFC 8878 Zstandard streams and decode
//! through both this crate's [`crate::decoding`] module and upstream C zstd.

/// delegates to [`compress_slice_to_vec`], which seeds the output
/// `Vec` with `min(compress_bound(input.len()), OUTPUT_BLOCK_CAP =
/// 128 KiB)` instead of the previous `Vec::new()` (zero-capacity +
/// power-of-two growth). For inputs in the few-KiB to ~128 KiB range
/// this is a strict improvement (no doubling spikes inside the
/// measured window). For inputs significantly larger than 128 KiB the
/// allocation curve still grows by amortized doubling but starts from
/// a 128 KiB floor rather than 0. Downstream consumers that measure
/// peak RSS on this entry point will see a different curve than
/// pre-revision; bench shape, not steady-state, is what changed.
///
/// **This is NOT a streaming API.** The source is fully buffered
/// into a `Vec<u8>` before any compression work begins, so peak input
/// memory is bounded by `source.len()` (not "constant regardless of
/// payload size" as a stream-shaped encoder would offer). The RSS
/// notes below apply to the materialization-then-compress shape; if
/// the source is large enough that holding it in memory is not
/// acceptable, use [`StreamingEncoder`] which consumes chunks
/// incrementally without the up-front Vec build.
///
/// The other side of the peak shape is the input buffering: this
/// helper drives `read_to_end` to materialize the full source into a
/// `Vec<u8>` before forwarding the slice to [`compress_slice_to_vec`].
/// For a `Read` whose size is unknown ahead of time, `read_to_end`
/// grows that input `Vec` via power-of-two doubling — peak input
/// allocation can be up to 2× the final source length transiently.
/// At the moment that input buffer crosses ~128 KiB the output Vec
/// seed kicks in concurrently. The total live working set on this
/// entry point is approximately
/// `input.capacity() + output_vec_seed + internal_accumulators`,
/// where `output_vec_seed` is `min(compress_bound(input.len()), 128
/// KiB)` and `internal_accumulators` covers
/// `FrameCompressor::all_blocks` (pre-reserved at frame start, up to
/// ~130 KiB at default block cap) plus per-block scratch (hash tables,
/// literal/sequence staging). Round the helper's RSS peak to
/// `input.capacity() + output_vec_seed + ~130 KiB internal +
/// per-block scratch` rather than the bare `input.capacity() + 128
/// KiB` figure quoted in earlier revisions, which only accounted for
/// the output seed. [`StreamingEncoder`] avoids the input
/// materialization step entirely and is the right entry point when

/// The seed is intentionally capped at one donor block

///   `Vec` never reallocates inside the measured window (cheap, no
///   doubling spikes, no over-allocation).
/// * Inputs around 128 KiB where `compress_bound(src) >=
///   OUTPUT_BLOCK_CAP` — the `min` clamps to the cap, so the "no
///   reallocation" property holds only as long as the actual
///   compressed output also fits within `OUTPUT_BLOCK_CAP`. For
///   high-entropy inputs near the cap boundary the `Vec` may grow
///   by one doubling step before the next block lands.
/// * Larger inputs — the `Vec` grows via amortized doubling, with
///   peak transient memory ≈ 2× current compressed size at the last
///   realloc. Deliberate trade-off against pinning
///   `compress_bound(src)` upfront, which on the 100 MiB
