Produced by `hdf diff` over hdf-diff/test/fixtures/scan-before.json and scan-after.json with whole requirements dropped from the inputs, so `summary` is computed by the engine and matches the diffs it reports. The engine also writes a `baseline` key on each diff that this definition does not declare; it is omitted here, so regenerating this example needs that key stripped until the schema and the engine agree.",

A JSON input carries as a `content` string like every other input. This is deliberately stricter than HDF v2, whose `passthrough.raw` held a parsed structure in every converter but one, and which for XML inputs stored a reshaped object whose keys could collide.\n\n`mediaType` is REQUIRED on an entry that embeds — bytes whose type a consumer has to infer are not carriage. It is derived from the converter's declared input family (json → application/json, xml → application/xml, text → text/plain) and overridden by converters that know their bytes more precisely (CSV, NDJSON, JavaScript-wrapped JSON).\n\nAn entry that only points at a location may omit `mediaType`, `content` and `encoding`.",
