* minibidi.h — standalone header for ESP32C3 BiDi calculations
*
* Derived from [mintty](https://github.com/mintty/mintty/) (Thomas Wolff, MIT licence).
* Stripped of: Arabic shaping, box-drawing mirror, terminal dependencies,
* GCC nested functions, VLAs, and non-Hebrew/English Unicode data.
* Includes: UAX#9 bidi (do_bidi) and Arabic contextual shaping (do_shape),
* both ported from mintty src/minibidi.c (Ahmad Khalifa, Thomas Wolff).
* Stripped of: box-drawing mirror, terminal dependencies, GCC nested
* functions, VLAs, and Unicode data for scripts CrossPoint doesn't render.

* do_shape(line, to, count)

* Applies Arabic contextual shaping (and Lam-Alef ligation) to

* MUST be called AFTER do_bidi(): the algorithm resolves joining from
* VISUAL adjacency (line[i-1] is the visually-left neighbour, line[i+1]
* the visually-right one), exactly like upstream mintty.

* line: visual-order input; the joiners field must be populated by the

* to: output buffer, same size as line; non-Arabic entries are copied
* through unchanged. An Alef absorbed by a Lam-Alef ligature is
* replaced with LIGATURE_PLACEHOLDER — filter it on emission.
* count: number of characters (≤ BIDI_MAX_LINE)

* Returns 1.
