MLT document model: pure builders that produce xml.cljc node trees.

MLT's XML vocabulary, smallest useful subset:
  mlt        root; LC_NUMERIC="C" so float serialization is locale-invariant
  profile    frame geometry; the document carries one
  producer   a clip source; resource lives in a property child
  playlist   a track: <entry producer=.../> and <blank length=.../> refs
  tractor    the timeline: <multitrack> of <track producer=.../> refs
  filter     an effect on a producer/playlist/tractor
  transition a compositor between two tracks (a_track/b_track)

Builders return xml.cljc nodes; `document` assembles and `xml/emit`
serializes. No IO, no host conditionals — core + string only.

Read an MLT / .kdenlive document back into a summary — the inverse leg of
mlt.model. Pure and portable: nodes in, data out, no IO.

A .kdenlive file is an MLT document with Kdenlive conventions: the bin
lives in a playlist id="main_bin", the timeline is the tractor whose
multitrack references the track playlists, and cuts are in/out attributes
(clock strings or frame counts).

Time arithmetic for MLT in/out/length attributes.

MLT accepts two time vocabularies: frame counts ("150") and clock strings
("HH:MM:SS.mmm"). Conversion between them needs the profile's fps, carried
here as a [num den] fraction (a bare number means [n 1]).

Portable: core + string only, integer math where hosts disagree on rounding.

A Kdenlive timeline as data, edited by the SAME verbs the scripting fork
answers over HTTP, with no Kdenlive running.

The fork's route catalog (hive-kdenlive.kdenlive.routes) names what an agent
can ask of a timeline: import media, add a track, insert a clip at a frame,
open space, extract a zone. `apply-verb` answers those route ids against a
value instead of a live application, and `->document` turns the value into
an MLT document melt renders. That is the :document transport: the same
vocabulary, a different place for the timeline to live.

State
  {:name    "edit"
   :profile {:width 1920 :height 1080 :fps 25}
   :next-id 1
   :bin     {"1" {:id "1" :resource "/clips/a.mkv" :name "a.mkv" :length 250}}
   :tracks  [{:id "2" :name "V1" :audio? false
              :clips [{:id "3" :bin "1" :position 0 :in 0 :out 249}]}]}

Frames are integers throughout; :out is inclusive, as in MLT. Clips on a
track never overlap: a verb that would make them overlap, or that would have
to cut a clip in two, is REFUSED with a named error rather than approximated.
Ids are strings, as the fork returns them.

Every verb is (fn [state params ctx] -> {:ok {:state s :result r}} | {:error ...}).
`ctx` carries effects the pure core cannot perform: :probe, a function from
a media path to {:length frames} or {:error ...}.

Portable: clojure.core and clojure.string only. No `for` (clojurust
mishandles :when/:let in it), booleans compared with `=`.

XML text <-> element tree, written by hand over strings.

Node shape: {:tag string :attrs [[name value] ...] :content [node-or-string ...]}.
Attribute order is a vector so emission is byte-deterministic on every host.

`emit` : node -> string (declaration, one-space indent, trailing newline).
`parse`: string -> {:ok node} | {:error :mlt/xml-malformed :at int :message string}.

Portable: clojure.core and clojure.string only, no reader conditionals.
