+// counterpart to adventure-editor.mjs. Same discipline, different vocabulary:
+// a small closed sentence table, invertible by construction, where every phrase
+// the renderer writes has exactly one parser rule that reads it back to the same
+// triple.
+//
+// It is a separate table rather than an extension of adventure-editor.mjs's
+// because the two worlds are built out of different facts. Ashcombe Hall is a
+// puzzle — locks, hidden things, an objective, an NPC schedule. mud-garden is an
+// ecology — a class hierarchy, masses, a predator, and the dig knobs that say how
+// far a burrow reaches and what digging one out turns up. An editor whose whole
+// point is "change what this world is made of" has to speak the vocabulary the
+// world is actually written in, and neither table is a superset of the other.
+//
+// No imports: every export here is `.toString()`-splice-safe, the same discipline
+// adventure-editor.mjs and the *-viz render-glue functions hold — mud-viz.mjs
+// splices these straight into mud.html's inline script, which captures a
+// function's own source text and nothing it closes over. A splice-safe function
+// carries its whole dependency graph inside its own body.
+//

+// own header sets out:
+//   - PLACEMENT (currently-in/located-in/fixed-in/hidden-in), OPENNESS and MASS
+//     are fold-versioned — foldWorldState already reads the newest write as the

+//     an edit to one is a plain new write superseding the old, never a
+//     retraction. Mass belongs here and not below precisely because it MOVES: a
+//     playing animal's weight is a fold over turn snapshots, so an editor
+//     diffing raw mass rows would show the seed and fight the drain.
+//   - Everything else (typing, the class hierarchy, exits, the predator flag,
+//     the dig knobs) is read raw by the engine, so changing one genuinely needs
+//     the old row retracted. planMudEditorSync computes that diff, and the caller
