//! Shared inventory + manifest plumbing for the `wolfram-export-*` runtime
//! crates.
//!
//! Hosts the [`ExportEntry`] enum (the unified inventory entry type used by
//! all three modes — Native, Wstp, Wxf), the `inventory::collect!` declaration,
//! and the [`exported_library_functions_association`] builder that produces
//! the WL `Association[name -> LibraryFunctionLoad[...], ...]` Expr used by
//! both the WSTP-mode `generate_loader!` runtime path and the WXF-mode
//! build-time manifest path.
//!
//! The two transports share this one Expr-producing function — only the wire
//! format at the boundary differs.
