+/*
+ * synopsis.mjs -- TVDOS Synopsis Format (TSF) loader, cache and completion
+ * resolver.
+ *
+ * A TSF document (see the "Command Synopsis Format" chapter of the manual and
+ * tvdos_synopsis_format_draft.md) is a JSON file describing a command's
+ * command-line interface: its options, positional arguments, subcommands,
+ * argument types, completion sources and validation constraints.  This module
+ * turns those documents into the answers command.js needs while the user is
+ * typing -- chiefly "what can come next at the caret?".
+ *
+ * Where the documents live
+ * ------------------------
+ *   * Apps          : colocated with the executable, full filename + ".synopsis"
+ *                     e.g. \tvdos\bin\geturl.js  ->  \tvdos\bin\geturl.js.synopsis
+ *   * Built-in       : the shell coreutils are not files, so their synopses live
+ *     coreutils       in a dedicated directory, \tvdos\synopsis\<name>.synopsis.
+ *                     Aliases (ls -> dir, rm -> del, ...) resolve to the
+ *                     canonical command's file automatically.
+ *
+ * Caching (two layers)
+ * --------------------
+ * Parsing JSON and compiling a completion model on every TAB would be wasteful,
+ * so results are cached:
+ *   1. In memory, for the life of the shell session (command.js keeps the
+ *      require() handle, so this object persists across keystrokes).
+ *   2. On disk, under \tvdos\cache\synopsis\, as a compiled-model blob.  The
+ *      TSVM file layer exposes no reliable modification time, so the cache is
+ *      validated against the source file's *byte size* plus a CACHE_VERSION
+ *      stamp.  A source edit that preserves the byte count will not invalidate
+ *      the disk cache -- an accepted trade-off.  Every disk operation is
+ *      best-effort: a failure never breaks completion, it just falls back to
+ *      re-parsing.
+ *
+ * Public API
+ * ----------
+ *   getCompletion(commandToken, prefixTokens, word) -> result | { ok:false }
+ *   getModel(commandToken)            -> compiled model | null
+ *   getSummary(commandToken)          -> one-line summary | null
+ *   getUsage(commandToken)            -> generated usage string | null
+ *   resolveSynopsisPath(commandToken) -> full path | null
+ *   registerProvider(name, fn)        -> register an `internal` completion source
+ *   clearCache()                      -> drop the in-memory caches
