Before: Deserialize turns a partly understood or damaged row into an ordinary MarkupText, and nothing tells the caller that saving it back would drop an unknown property on an ansi layer, an unknown layout block, a gradient stop or an unknown envelope field. A row like {"v":2,"text":"important"} reads as empty and {"v":2,"t":"x","p":…} has its palette read as if it were version 1. A codec that throws fails the whole read. Reading a layout after a different tree with the same id could return the other tree.

After: MarkupTextSerializer.Inspect reads the same way and returns a MarkupReadResult with the value, a Status (Complete, Opaque, Unsupported, Damaged), one diagnostic per problem, and CanRewrite. It never throws on bad input. The envelope has a wire version: no "v" (or "v":1) is version 1. Any other version reads as its "t" in plain text and nothing else, and every later version must keep "t" as the document's plain text so that fallback always exists. VersionOf and NeedsUpgrade report a stored payload's version without reading it. A codec that throws leaves its layer as an UnknownMarkup with the raw object instead of failing the read. Written bytes are unchanged. The version is cut as 2.19.0.

Showing a value and saving it back are separate questions. Deserialize answers the first and never fails on content it can partly read; Inspect answers the second. This follows Tolerant Reader, Matrix's body fallback and Tiptap's read-only-on-content-error pattern. docs/serialization.md sets out how a later version's upgrade step must behave (works on JSON, idempotent, leaves newer or damaged payloads alone, keeps "t").

How: Read takes an optional check that records damage (wrong field types, cover overrun, bad indices, palette slot 0 not null, non-string "k", throwing codecs) and unused palette entries. Each layer a codec reads is written straight back and compared with what was read (WireShape): every property must survive, every value keeps its JSON kind (true/false count as one), arrays keep their length, and the "k"/"t" discriminators keep their values. Scalar values themselves are not compared, so bo:0 written as bo:1 and #rrggbbaa written as #rrggbb still count as complete; the one kind change allowed is ANSI f/g/fs legacy arrays written back as the colour they mean. This works for any codec, including a game's own, without changing IMarkupCodec. LayoutMarkup equality now also compares a fingerprint of the tree it was read from, so interning no longer swaps trees. WireCompatibilityTests pins golden payloads from the released 1.0.0, 2.0.0, 2.8.0 and 2.18.0 writers (identical bytes across all four), the pre-"k" legacy forms, and every case listed in the issue.

Refs #61. This covers its first two steps (freeze and reproduce, loss-aware reads). It does not add cross-version package runners, SharpMUSH integration coverage or a CI gate.

MarkupTextSerializer.Inspect reads like Deserialize and reports Complete,
Opaque, Unsupported or Damaged, with a diagnostic per problem and
CanRewrite. It writes each codec-read layer back and compares structure,
so an unknown property on a known kind, an unknown layout block or a
dropped gradient stop is caught for any codec. The envelope gets a wire
version: no "v" (or "v":1) is version 1, and Deserialize now throws for
any other instead of reading it as version 1. Written bytes are
unchanged; golden payloads from released 1.0.0, 2.0.0, 2.8.0 and 2.18.0
writers are pinned in WireCompatibilityTests.

Review in Change Stack →

Walkthrough

The change adds version-aware markup reads, inspection results with diagnostics and rewriteability, preserves codec-failed layers as opaque markup, and tracks layout tree identity to avoid interning unequal trees.

Changes

Markup serialization inspection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Read result and wire-version contract
MarkupString/MarkupReadResult.cs, MarkupString/MarkupTextSerializer.cs, MarkupString/PublicAPI.Shipped.txt, docs/serialization.md, MarkupString.Tests/WireCompatibilityTests.cs, CHANGELOG.md
The public API adds read statuses, inspection results, and version queries. The serializer treats missing v as version 1 and reads other versions as plain text. Tests cover legacy and released payloads, version queries, and byte-for-byte round-trips.
Read diagnostics and rewrite checks
MarkupString/MarkupTextSerializer.cs, MarkupString/WireShape.cs, MarkupString.Tests/WireCompatibilityTests.cs, docs/serialization.md, CHANGELOG.md
Inspection records malformed, unsupported, and opaque content. Codec failures retain the raw layer as UnknownMarkup. Structural comparisons report data that serialization would omit. Tests cover these read outcomes and rewrite checks.
Layout tree identity
MarkupString/Layout/Blocks/LayoutJson.cs, MarkupString/Layout/Blocks/LayoutMarkup.cs, MarkupString.Tests/WireCompatibilityTests.cs, CHANGELOG.md
Layout reads store a fingerprint of the tree JSON. Layout equality now requires the same root reference or matching nonzero source fingerprints, in addition to its existing comparisons. Tests cover layouts with a shared ID and different trees.

Saving inspected text can discard stored markup despite a safe-to-rewrite result. Fix the rewrite checks before merging; differently formatted layout trees can also lose block rendering.

A payload with an unknown "v" now reads as its "t" in plain text, with
nothing else read as version 1, instead of throwing; every later version
keeps "t" as the document's plain text so that fallback always exists.
A codec that throws leaves its layer as an UnknownMarkup holding the raw
object, so Deserialize no longer fails and the layer writes back as it
was. Inspect still reports both, so a caller that saves values back can
keep the stored row.

…ginal

LayoutMarkup equality compared id, width, length and text hash but not
the tree, so interning could hand one read another read's tree when a
copy of a row kept the layout id but changed the tree. A layer read back
now also carries a fingerprint of the tree's JSON, and equals another
only when they share the tree or that fingerprint. The new wire tests
hit this as a cross-test race on macOS CI.

VersionOf reads a stored text's wire version from its top-level "v"
without parsing the rest (1 when absent, null when unreadable), and
NeedsUpgrade says whether it is earlier than WireVersion. The
serialization guide sets out how later versions upgrade: one step from
the version before, chained, working on the JSON, idempotent, leaving
newer and damaged payloads alone, keeping "t", with fixtures; batching,
backups and checkpoints belong to the store.

- Around line 42-58: Update the shared WireShape.Lost policy to report loss when
an array is rewritten as a scalar by default. Add a codec-approved normalization
hook and have AnsiMarkupCodec.FromLegacyCodes approve only legacy color arrays
it can interpret; do not grant this exemption to other codecs.
- Line 58: Update the scalar/default branch of WireShape.Lost to reject changes
where the read and written JsonValueKind values differ, returning a diagnostic
through the existing Where(path) format. Compare types only so numeric ANSI
presence flags such as bo:0 and bo:1 remain normalizable.

WireShape let an array come back as any scalar and ignored scalar kind
changes, so a sound source of [1,2] read as "" or a pane name of 5 read
as "" still counted as rewritable. A value now has to keep its JSON kind
(true and false count as one); the only array allowed to come back as a
scalar is a legacy ANSI colour (f, g, fs) the codec wrote as a colour.
