@@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ What separates this crate from `tsv_ts` / `tsv_css`:
 - **Embeds two other languages.** The printer delegates `<script>` / `<style>` and every template `{expr}` to `tsv_ts::build_program_doc` / `tsv_css::build_stylesheet_doc`, passing an `EmbedContext` with the current indent state and `LayoutMode::Embedded` so binary expressions use continuation indent. See `printer/script_style.rs` and `printer/tags.rs`.
 - **Element classification adapter.** `printer/classification/element.rs` resolves interned tag-name symbols and dispatches to the pure `tsv_html` functions. The Svelte-specific overlay (Components are inline; non-empty `<script>`/`<style>` are block) lives here, not in `tsv_html`.
 - **No `escapes/` module.** String/template-literal escapes are handled inside the embedded TS/CSS — Svelte itself has no escape rules at the template level.
-- **Lazy entity decoding on `Text`.** The internal `Text` node stores `raw` plus a parse-time `TextDecoding` context (`Fragment` / `AttributeValue` / `Raw`); the decoded form comes from `Text::data() -> Cow<str>`, which borrows `raw` when no `&` is present (decode is identity) or in `Raw` context. Contexts mirror the canonical parser: fragment text decodes with text-content rules, quoted attribute values with attribute rules, raw-content element text and unquoted attribute values not at all (the unquoted case diverges from Svelte — see the TODO in `parser/attribute.rs`). The printer reads `raw`; `data()` serves boundary and cold paths (public-AST conversion, `lang`/`context` attribute checks, root-span whitespace trimming).

The printer reads `raw`; `data()` serves boundary and cold paths (public-AST conversion, `lang`/`context` attribute checks, root-span whitespace trimming).
 - **Dual schema for `<script>` conversion.** `ast/convert/special.rs` picks `tsv_ts::ast::convert::Schema::Acorn` for `lang="ts"` and `Schema::SvelteScript` otherwise. The latter omits `importKind` / `exportKind = "value"` and always emits `attributes` on import/export declarations to match Svelte's parser output.

 ### Comment Position Philosophy

 The benefit: predictable output that respects the configured line length. The tradeoff: some constructs may break where Prettier would keep them inline.
 
+### Tabs-Only Indentation Philosophy
+
+**tsv renders all indentation as whole tabs and never mixes tabs with alignment spaces.**
+When breaking a union type, Prettier wraps each member's type doc in
+`align(2, …)` (`union-type.js`) to offset the 2-char `|` prefix. With
+`--use-tabs`, Prettier's indentation algorithm renders that 2-column offset as
+a **sub-tab alignment**: content that is further indented rounds the offset up
+to a whole tab, but a closing delimiter sitting at the offset column is emitted
+as `tabs + 2 spaces`. The result mixes tabs and spaces on a single indentation
+level.
+
+tsv rounds the 2-column offset up to one tab everywhere. At
+`tab_width = 2` the two are the same visual width; only the representation
+differs (`⟨n+1 tabs⟩}` vs `⟨n tabs⟩··}`). This keeps indentation
+tab-width-agnostic: a reader viewing tabs at any width sees consistent
+structure, whereas Prettier's 2-space offset assumes the prefix is exactly 2
+columns wide. Cataloged in [Tabs-Only Alignment](#tabs-only-alignment).

 **Spec violations**: CSS Syntax 3 §4.3.4 specifies that an identifier immediately followed by `(` tokenizes as a `<function-token>`, not as an `<ident-token>` plus `(`. Media Queries 4 §3 explicitly notes: "Whitespace is required between a 'not', 'and', or 'or' keyword and the following '(' character, because without it that would instead parse as a `<function-token>`." Container Queries (CSS Conditional 5) use the same grammar pattern. Prettier normalizes this for `@supports` but not `@media` or `@container`.

 **Return type generic union**: Prettier has special handling for `null` and `void` in union types within generic return types. When the second union member is `null` or `void`: (1) function declarations and class methods allow lines to exceed print width instead of breaking inside `<>`, (2) arrow functions break the assignment (`const fn =`) instead of breaking inside the return type. tsv breaks consistently inside the return type generic at the print width boundary regardless of type keyword.
 
-### Tabs-Only Alignment (No Sub-Tab Spaces)
-
-When breaking a union type, Prettier wraps each member's type doc in
-`align(2, …)` (`union-type.js`) to offset the 2-char `|` prefix. With
-`--use-tabs`, Prettier's indentation algorithm renders that 2-column offset as
-a **sub-tab alignment**: content that is further indented rounds the offset up
-to a whole tab, but a closing delimiter sitting at the offset column is emitted
-as `tabs + 2 spaces`. The result mixes tabs and spaces on a single indentation
-level.
+### Tabs-Only Alignment
 
-tsv renders **all** indentation as whole tabs and never mixes tabs with
-alignment spaces — the 2-column offset is rounded up to one tab everywhere. At
-`tab_width = 2` the two are the same visual width; only the representation
-differs (`⟨n+1 tabs⟩}` vs `⟨n tabs⟩··}`). This keeps indentation
-tab-width-agnostic: a reader viewing tabs at any width sees consistent
-structure, whereas Prettier's 2-space offset assumes the prefix is exactly 2
-columns wide.
+These fixtures exercise the [Tabs-Only Indentation Philosophy](#tabs-only-indentation-philosophy): Prettier's `align(2, …)` for broken union members emits `tabs + 2 spaces` under `--use-tabs`, while tsv rounds the 2-column offset up to a whole tab everywhere.

 **Retained paren union member line comment**: the line-comment analog of the above — a line comment trailing the last inner member of a retained parenthesized union (`(a | b // c) | c`, `a | (b | c // c) | d`) → Prettier hoists it out to trail the whole member and keeps the inner union inline (`| (a | b) // c`). tsv keeps it inside the parens; because a line comment must end its line, the parenthesized union expands to its broken form (one member per line) with `)` on its own line. (Otherwise the comment is dropped entirely — content loss.) Unlike the block-comment case — which stays inline because a block comment can — the line comment forces the expanded layout. Our expanded form is stable in tsv; Prettier's inline-with-relocated-comment form is its own stable shape.
 
-**Retained paren first-member leading line comment**: a **leading** line comment inside a retained parenthesized union member, when that member is the **first** member of the outer union (`(// c\n A | B) | C`) → Prettier moves the comment out of the parens to lead the member, keeping the inner union inline when it fits (`| // c\n (A | B)`). tsv keeps it inside the parens leading the inner union; because a line comment must end its line, the parenthesized union expands to its broken form with `)` on its own line. (Otherwise the comment is dropped entirely — content loss: the inner-leading line comment has no previous member to relocate onto.) This is the leading-comment counterpart of the trailing **Retained paren union member line comment** above, and mirrors its keep-inside behavior.

 **Retained paren intersection member comment**: the intersection counterpart of the retained-paren-union case — a block comment inside a parenthesized **intersection** member whose parens are retained because it nests in an outer union (`(a & b /* c */) | c`, `a | (/* c */ b & c)`, `a | (b & c /* c */)`) → Prettier hoists the comment out of the parens (trailing after `)`, leading before `(`: `(a & b) /* c */ | c`, `a | /* c */ (b & c)`). tsv keeps it inside the parens, associating it with the parenthesized member. (Unlike the union case this never dropped — it preserves through the paren-unwrapping path — but it is the same comment-position divergence and is pinned for completeness.) Both positions are dual-stable in our formatter.
