Thorsten Bus 9e3e719806 feat(library): add readers + writers for all ProPresenter global libraries and theme bundles
Add full IO support for every global ProPresenter library file plus
theme folders, and extend the existing Labels/Macros readers with
exporters and editable accessors so every supported document is now a
round-trippable, mutable object.

New library readers/writers (each: FileReader, FileWriter, Library
wrapper, element wrapper where applicable, CLI tool, tests, doc/api/*.md):

- Groups          (ProGroupsDocument)        + GroupDefinition
- ClearGroups     (ClearGroupsDocument)      + ClearGroupDefinition
- CCLI            (CCLIDocument)
- Messages        (MessageDocument)          + Message
- Timers          (TimersDocument + Clock)   + Timer
- Stage           (Stage.Document)           + StageLayout
- Workspace       (ProPresenterWorkspace)    + Screen
- Props           (PropDocument)             + Prop
- TestPatterns    (TestPatternDocument)
- Calendar        (new CalendarDocument)     + CalendarEvent
- KeyMappings     (new KeyMappingsDocument)  + KeyMapping
- CommunicationDevices (JSON file)           + CommunicationDevice
- Theme bundles   (Template.Document folder + Assets/) + ThemeBundle/Slide/Asset

Extensions to existing modules:

- LabelsFileWriter; Label and LabelLibrary gain setters, addLabel,
  removeLabel, setColor / setColorHex helpers
- MacrosFileWriter; Macro/MacroCollection/MacroLibrary gain UUID, name,
  color, image_type, image_data, trigger_on_startup setters plus
  add/remove for macros and collections

Two new minimal proto schemas were defined for documents that lacked
upstream definitions:

- proto/calendar.proto   - CalendarDocument with Event entries, raw
  bytes for the action/macro sub-messages so the schema can evolve
- proto/keyMappings.proto - KeyMappingsDocument with ApplicationInfo
  and a forward-looking Mapping message (sample only carries the info)

The Theme file turned out to be a regular Rv\Data\Template\Document, so
no new proto was required for theme content; ThemeBundle layers folder
+ Assets/ handling on top in the same spirit as PresentationBundle.

GroupDefinition is intentionally distinct from the existing Group class
(which wraps song-level CueGroup) to avoid breaking song APIs.

Verified with the full PHPUnit suite: 370 tests, 9200 assertions, all
green; LSP diagnostics clean across src/. The unmodified reference
samples for Labels, Groups, ClearGroups, TestPatterns, Calendar and
KeyMappings round-trip byte-for-byte; the others round-trip with the
same byte length (PHP protobuf is not canonically deterministic but
re-write-after-write stabilises).

doc/INDEX.md, doc/keywords.md and AGENTS.md updated so every new module
is discoverable from the top level.

# ClearGroups Library API
> PHP module for reading and writing the global ProPresenter `ClearGroups` file
> (raw protobuf, no extension) and exposing each clear group definition.
## Quick Reference
```php
use ProPresenter\Parser\ClearGroupsFileReader;
use ProPresenter\Parser\ClearGroupsFileWriter;
$library = ClearGroupsFileReader::read('/path/to/ClearGroups');
foreach ($library->getGroups() as $group) {
$group->getName(); // "Alles ausblenden"
$group->getUuid(); // "A91C6AFE-..."
$group->getImageType(); // 11
$group->getColorHex(); // "#FFFFFF" | null
}
ClearGroupsFileWriter::write($library, '/path/to/ClearGroups');
```
---
## File Layout
The `ClearGroups` file is the protobuf-serialised
[`ClearGroupsDocument`](../../proto/clearGroups.proto):
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `application_info` | `ApplicationInfo` | ProPresenter writer metadata |
| `groups` | repeated `ClearGroupsDocument.ClearGroup` | Clear button definitions |
Each `ClearGroup` carries:
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `uuid` | `UUID` | Stable identifier |
| `name` | string | Display name |
| `layer_targets` | repeated `Action.ClearType` | Layers cleared by the button |
| `is_hidden_in_preview` | bool | Whether preview UI hides the button |
| `image_data` | bytes | Custom icon payload |
| `image_type` | enum | Built-in icon identifier |
| `is_icon_tinted` | bool | Whether `icon_tint_color` applies |
| `icon_tint_color` | `Color` | RGBA float channels in 0..1 |
| `timeline_targets` | repeated `Action.ContentDestination` | Timeline destinations |
| `clear_presentation_next_slide` | bool | Also clear the queued next slide |
---
## Reading
```php
use ProPresenter\Parser\ClearGroupsFileReader;
$library = ClearGroupsFileReader::read('/Users/me/.../ClearGroups');
```
Throws `InvalidArgumentException` for missing files and `RuntimeException` for
empty / unreadable files.
---
## ClearGroupsLibrary
Top-level wrapper around `Rv\Data\ClearGroupsDocument`. Indexes groups by UUID
(case-insensitive) and name.
```php
$library->getGroups(); // ClearGroupDefinition[]
$library->count(); // int
$library->getClearGroupByUuid('A91C...'); // ?ClearGroupDefinition
$library->getClearGroupByName('Alles ...'); // ?ClearGroupDefinition
$library->addClearGroup('Name', 'UUID'); // ClearGroupDefinition
$library->removeClearGroup('UUID'); // bool
$library->getDocument(); // \Rv\Data\ClearGroupsDocument
```
---
## ClearGroupDefinition
```php
$group->getName();
$group->setName('New Name');
$group->getUuid();
$group->setUuid('...');
$group->getLayerTargets();
$group->getImageType();
$group->getColor(); // ['r'=>..,'g'=>..,'b'=>..,'a'=>..] | null
$group->getColorHex(); // "#RRGGBB" uppercase, alpha dropped, or null
$group->getProto(); // \Rv\Data\ClearGroupsDocument\ClearGroup
```
Color channels are floats in 0..1 as ProPresenter stores them. `getColorHex()`
clamps and rounds each channel to 8 bits before formatting.
---
## CLI Tool
```bash
php bin/parse-clear-groups.php /path/to/ClearGroups
```
Output:
```
ClearGroups (1):
[1] Alles ausblenden :: A91C6AFE-098F-4559-B2CF-D8373C589589 :: image_type=11 :: #FFFFFF
```

## Key Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/ClearGroupsLibrary.php` | Document-level wrapper with UUID/name lookups |
| `src/ClearGroupDefinition.php` | Single clear group wrapper |
| `src/ClearGroupsFileReader.php` | Reads the `ClearGroups` file |
| `src/ClearGroupsFileWriter.php` | Writes the `ClearGroups` file |
| `bin/parse-clear-groups.php` | CLI tool |
| `proto/clearGroups.proto` | Protobuf schema |
| `generated/Rv/Data/ClearGroupsDocument.php` | Generated message class |
---
## Scope Notes
The wrapper preserves unknown / uninterpreted protobuf data by mutating the
generated message in place and serialising it back. It does not execute clear
actions or modify slide content.
