+   * quikdown — A compact, scanner-based markdown parser
+   * ════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+   *
+   * Architecture overview (v1.2.8 — lexer rewrite)
+   * ───────────────────────────────────────────────
+   * Prior to v1.2.8, quikdown used a multi-pass regex pipeline: each block
+   * type (headings, blockquotes, HR, lists, tables) and each inline format
+   * (bold, italic, links, …) was handled by its own global regex applied
+   * sequentially to the full document string. That worked but made the code
+   * hard to extend and debug — a new construct meant adding another regex
+   * pass, and ordering bugs between passes were subtle.
+   *
+   * Starting in v1.2.8 the parser uses a **line-scanning** approach for
+   * block detection and a **per-block inline pass** for formatting:
+   *
+   *   ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+   *   │  Phase 1 — Code Extraction                             │
+   *   │  Scan for fenced code blocks (``` / ~~~) and inline    │
+   *   │  code spans (`…`). Replace with §CB§ / §IC§ place-    │
+   *   │  holders so code content is never touched by later      │
+   *   │  phases.                                                │
+   *   ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+   *   │  Phase 2 — HTML Escaping                                │
+   *   │  Escape &, <, >, ", ' in the remaining text to prevent │
+   *   │  XSS. (Skipped when allow_unsafe_html is true.)         │
+   *   ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+   *   │  Phase 3 — Block Scanning                               │
+   *   │  Walk the text **line by line**.  At each line, the     │
+   *   │  scanner checks (in order):                             │
+   *   │    • table rows  (|)                                    │
+   *   │    • headings    (#)                                    │
+   *   │    • HR          (---)                                  │
+   *   │    • blockquotes (&gt;)                                 │
+   *   │    • list items  (-, *, +, 1.)                          │
+   *   │    • code-block placeholder (§CB…§)                     │
+   *   │    • paragraph text (everything else)                   │
+   *   │                                                         │
+   *   │  Block text is run through the **inline formatter**     │
+   *   │  which handles bold, italic, strikethrough, links,      │
+   *   │  images, and autolinks.                                 │
+   *   │                                                         │
+   *   │  Paragraphs are wrapped in <p> tags.  Lazy linefeeds   │
+   *   │  (single \n → <br>) are handled here too.               │
+   *   ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+   *   │  Phase 4 — Code Restoration                             │
+   *   │  Replace §CB§ / §IC§ placeholders with rendered <pre>  │
+   *   │  / <code> HTML, applying the fence_plugin if present.   │
+   *   └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+   *
+   * Why this design?
+   *  • Single pass over lines for block identification — no re-scanning.
+   *  • Each block type is a clearly separated branch, easy to add new ones.
+   *  • Inline formatting is confined to block text — can't accidentally
+   *    match across block boundaries or inside HTML tags.
+   *  • Code extraction still uses a simple regex (it's one pattern, not a
+   *    chain) because the §-placeholder approach is proven and simple.
+   *
+   * @param {string} markdown  The markdown source text
+   * @param {Object} options   Configuration (see below)
+   * @returns {string}         Rendered HTML
