4

5
+ * end — parses through here, so there is one grammar to write, test, document
6
+ * and teach.
7
+ *
8
+ * Findings are returned rather than thrown, because a corpus pass wants every
9
+ * bad value in one run rather than the first. Each carries the `file` it was
10
+ * given and, where `raw` and `keyPath` locate the value, its line and column;
11
+ * a position that cannot be established honestly is dropped rather than
12
+ * defaulted, which is what keeps `file:line:column:` parseable.
13
+ *
14
+ * @param {unknown} value - The authored value. A number is what YAML hands
15
+ * back for a bare year, so it is accepted and stringified.
16
+ * @param {object} [options]
17
+ * @param {{months?: readonly object[]|null}} [options.calendar] - The calendar
18
+ * the value is written in, as its note declares it. Its ordered month list
19
+ * bounds a written month and a written day, the day against the length of
20
+ * the month it names. A calendar that declares no list bounds nothing.
21
+ * @param {string} [options.field] - The key that carried it, named in every
22
+ * message. Omitted, a message names the value alone.
23
+ * @param {boolean} [options.allowUnknown=true] - Whether `"unknown"` is a
24
+ * permitted value here. It is not, in a field whose absence already says the
25
+ * date is unrecorded.
26
+ * @param {string} [options.file] - The note, for the diagnostics.
27
+ * @param {string} [options.raw] - The note's full contents, to locate the value.
28
+ * @param {ReadonlyArray<string|number>} [options.keyPath] - Path to the key
29
+ * within the frontmatter, for the same.
30
