What Toon Bend does

Byte-for-byte port of the toon CLI (toon_rust: JSON <-> TOON, the token-efficient format for LLM context) to Bend 2. Golden-tested against the pinned original on 4 executor lanes (interpreter, native C at 1 and N threads, JavaScript), 368 machine-checked laws, a software binary64, zero unsafe.

A byte-for-byte port of the `toon` command line tool (`toon_rust` 0.2.4) to [Bend 2](https://github.com/bendlang/bend): the same stdout, the same stderr and the same exit code as the pinned original on every captured case, on every Bend executor lane, with the properties that hold for every input stated as laws and checked by Bend's proof checker.

**Credit:** `toon_rust` is a Rust port of the original [TOON TypeScript implementation](https://github.com/toon-format/toon) by the [toon-format](https://github.com/toon-format) team; the format specification is maintained at [toon-format/spec](https://github.com/toon-format/spec). This repository ports the Rust tool's observable behavior, oddities included, and changes nothing about the format.
