+Classic source-backed lazy GDSII reader built on the pure-python klamath path.
+
+This module provides the non-Arrow half of Masque's lazy GDS architecture:
+
+- `GdsLibrarySource` scans a GDS stream once to discover library metadata,
+  struct order, and child edges without materializing every cell.
+- cells are materialized on demand through the classic `gdsii` decoder
+  whenever a caller indexes the lazy view
+- the source can be wrapped in `PortsLibraryView` or merged through
+  `OverlayLibrary`, both of which live in `gdsii_lazy_core`
+
+The public surface intentionally parallels `gdsii_lazy_arrow` closely so that
+callers can swap between the classic and Arrow-backed implementations with
+minimal changes.

+Shared helpers for source-backed lazy GDS views.
+
+This module contains the reusable pieces that sit between lazy source readers
+and ordinary mutable library usage:
+
+- `PortsLibraryView` layers a processed, ports-importing cache on top of a raw
+  source view without mutating the source itself
+- `OverlayLibrary` exposes a mutable library surface that can mix source-backed
+  cells with overlay-owned materialized patterns
+- the write helpers preserve source-backed copy-through behavior where
+  possible, falling back to normal pattern serialization when a cell has been
+  materialized or remapped
+
+Both the classic and Arrow-backed lazy GDS readers rely on these helpers.

+Synthetic GDS fixture generation for reader/writer performance testing.
+
+The presets here are intentionally hierarchical and deterministic. They aim to
+approximate a pair of real-world layout families discussed during GDS reader and
+writer work:
+
+* `many_cells`: tens of thousands of cells, moderate reference count, very heavy
+  box usage after flattening, and moderate polygon density.
+* `many_instances`: a much smaller cell library with very high reference count,
+  similar box density, and far fewer polygons.
+
+Fixtures are written by streaming structures through `klamath` directly so large
+benchmark files can be produced without first materializing an equally large
+`masque.Library` in Python.
