/**
 * Creates a JSONC (JSON with Comments) codec with configurable indentation.
 *
 * JSONC is a superset of JSON that allows line comments (//) and block
 * comments. On read, comments are stripped using jsonc-parser. On write,
 * standard JSON is output (comments are not preserved).
 *
 * This is the same behavior as VS Code's settings.json — comments in
 * hand-edited .jsonc files do not survive a save cycle.
 *
 * @param options - Optional configuration for JSONC serialization
 * @param options.indent - Number of spaces for indentation (default: 2)
 * @returns A FormatCodec for JSONC serialization
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const codec = jsoncCodec({ indent: 4 })
 * const layer = makeSerializerLayer([codec])
 * ```
