import type { Capture } from '../capture.js';
/**
 * Cross-check a capture's manifest against its stream payloads. The manifest is the source of truth
 * for "what was collected and why"; a stream marked `present` must carry data, and a stream with any
 * other status (`unsupported` / `not-requested` / `dropped` / `policy-blocked`) must NOT — otherwise
 * the "unknown != zero" contract is silently broken (e.g. `profile: present` with no profile block,
 * or data attached to a stream the manifest says was `dropped`).
 *
 * The codec round-trips whatever it is handed without judging it (pack must stay cheap on the page),
 * so this check is intentionally SEPARATE: use it in tests, in tooling that ingests captures, and as
 * a development guard — never on the hot pack path. Returns a list of human-readable problems; an
 * empty array means the manifest and payloads agree.
