//! Kitty clipboard protocol (OSC 5522).
//!
//! This implements the protocol semantics on top of the raw OSC capture:
//! src/terminal/osc/parsers/kitty_clipboard_protocol.zig:
//!
//! The behavior here is modeled on the kitty reference implementation
//! (kitty/clipboard.py) rather than only the prose spec, since the two
//! disagree in places. Notable reference behaviors we reproduce:
//!
//! * Malformed metadata (any record without '=', including an empty
//! metadata section), an unknown or missing `type`, and invalid
//! base64 in `mime`, `name`, or `pw` all silently drop the request
//! with no response.
//! * `mime`, `name`, and `pw` metadata values are base64-encoded UTF-8;
//! everything else is verbatim. Unknown keys are ignored.
//! * `id` is sanitized by stripping characters outside [a-zA-Z0-9-_+.]
//! and truncating to 512 bytes, then echoed verbatim in every
//! response packet (omitted when empty).
//! * Write data chunks are decoded with a streaming base64 decoder that
//! persists across packets of the same MIME type; a '=' padding
//! mid-stream finishes the current group and resets the decoder, so
//! both per-chunk-padded and continuous unpadded streams work. A
//! chunk with invalid base64 is dropped (decoder reset) and the
//! transaction continues; it is not a protocol error.
//! * A `type=write` silently replaces any in-flight transaction. A
//! commit (`type=wdata` without a MIME type) with no in-flight
//! transaction is silently ignored.
//! * Oversized writes are truncated and still complete with DONE.
//! * Responses never send a payload section for an empty payload,
//! except the targets ('.') listing DATA packet which is always sent.
//!
//! I plan to open an upstream issue asking for clarification on these
//! once I implement this.
//!
//! Specification: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/clipboard/
