Tienson Qin 427dbe3f58 feat: export Logseq markdown syntax

Move the Logseq Markdown Mirror syntax/export work out of the two-way sync branch while leaving file-to-DB sync behavior behind.

Details:\n- add docs/logseq-markdown-syntax.md and update ADR 0016 with the one-way mirror syntax contract\n- export mirror files with page id markers, property list items, nested default property values, node page refs, task status markers, and datetime values with time\n- preserve block refs as uuid links where needed while keeping page/node refs readable\n- update focused export and markdown mirror tests

Validation:\n- bb dev:lint-and-test

Logseq Markdown Syntax

This document describes the Markdown syntax used by Logseq Markdown Mirror for DB graphs.

Page Identity

Mirror files start with an internal page id marker:

id:: 11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111

The marker associates a mirror file with the DB page. It is not a normal page property.

Blocks

Blocks are Markdown list items that use -.

- Parent
  - Child
  - Another child
- Sibling

Indentation defines block nesting. Markdown Mirror writes two spaces per nested level.

Properties

Properties are Markdown list items that use * and keep the Logseq property marker key::.

* page-property:: [[Page value]]

- Block
  * block-property:: 42

Page properties appear before the first block. Block properties appear under the block they belong to.

Open :default property values are represented by nested value blocks:

- Oscar Wilde
  * description::
    - Irish poet and playwright
  * books::
    - The Picture of Dorian Gray
      * year:: 1891
    - The Importance of Being Earnest
      * year:: 1895

Closed values stay inline with the property key, including many-value properties:

- Entry
  * mood:: Joy, Sad

Non-default scalar values and node values also stay inline:

- Lewis Carroll
  * books:: [[Alice in Wonderland]]
  * rating:: 5

Property value blocks can have nested blocks:

- Book list
  * notes::
    - Alice
      - Draft

References

Page and node references use Logseq page reference syntax:

- Read [[Project Plan]]
  * owner:: [[Alice]]

Node property values are exported as [[Node title]]. Mirror export does not use ((uuid)) for node property values.

Task Status

Task status is encoded on the block line:

- TODO Write draft
- DONE Publish note

Task status is not exported as a separate * Status:: property list item.
