Stage 3 of the faithful libyaml scanner port: the token producer. Translates scan_to_next_token, fetch_more_tokens/fetch_next_token dispatch, and the fetchers for stream start/end, document indicators, block entry, key, value (with the simple-key splice and roll-indent), plus scan_plain_scalar with its line-break folding. Reuses the ported indent engine, simple-key mechanism, character classes, and reader. Constructs not yet ported (flow collections, quoted scalars, anchors, tags, directives, block scalars) throw an explicit 'not yet ported' error rather than mis-scan; the port is not yet wired to the public API.
Milestone: the ported scanner tokenizes '- a:' followed by a same-column 'b:' as siblings (one BLOCK-MAPPING-START), matching libyaml, fixing the original block-mapping bug by construction; a more-indented value still nests. Unit-tested for the sibling case, the nested case, a simple pair, and multi-line plain-scalar folding. 305 tests, no regression.
PureYAML's scanner is a hand-rolled approximation of libyaml's algorithm; its indentation and simple-key bugs are the gap between the two. Rather than keep patching the approximation, re-derive the scanner as a faithful, function-by-function Swift port of libyaml's scanner.c (parser.c to follow), so correctness is by construction. The no-C-runtime constraint is preserved: this translates the algorithm into pure Swift, it does not bind to libyaml.
First piece: the indentation engine under PureYAML.Parsing.LibYAML, a line-for-line port of yaml_parser_roll_indent and yaml_parser_unroll_indent. A block collection opens only when content is strictly more indented than the current level, which fixes the '- a:' / same-column 'b:' mis-nesting by construction. Unit-tested against that exact case (sibling vs nested vs flow-inert). Lands as a parallel implementation verified against libyaml built from the CYaml source; swapped in only once it matches the reference with no regression. docs/LIBYAML_PORT.md records the plan. No public behavior changed yet.
