+//! The board grid: the palette+char map-file unit and its load-time conversion.
+//!
+//! A board is a single **grid** — a character grid plus a palette mapping each
+//! character to one *kind* of thing: an archetype (terrain), a scripted object, a
+//! portal, or the player. (The board's cosmetic floor is a separate `[map]`
+//! attribute, not a grid cell; see [`crate::floor`].)
+//!
+//! This module owns the grid serde type ([`BoardSpec`], [`PaletteEntry`]) and the
+//! load-time conversion ([`build_grid`]) that turns one `GridData` into the board's
+//! `Vec<(Glyph, Archetype)>` cells plus a list of [`Placement`]s (objects/portals/
+//! player) for the map loader to resolve. Cross-cell validation (one solid per
+//! cell, unique names, the player winning its cell) lives in [`crate::map_file`].

-//! The board grid: the palette+char map-file unit and its load-time conversion.
-//!
-//! A board is a single **grid** — a character grid plus a palette mapping each

-//! portal, or the player. (The board's cosmetic floor is a separate `[map]`
-//! attribute, not a grid cell; see [`crate::floor`].)
-//!
-//! This module owns the grid serde type ([`GridData`], [`PaletteEntry`]) and the
-//! load-time conversion ([`build_grid`]) that turns one `GridData` into the board's
-//! `Vec<(Glyph, Archetype)>` cells plus a list of [`Placement`]s (objects/portals/
-//! player) for the map loader to resolve. Cross-cell validation (one solid per
-//! cell, unique names, the player winning its cell) lives in [`crate::map_file`].
