+//! Level 8 — tags and newlines. The scroll preserves its lines and
+//! demands explicit types.
+//!
+//! Paired design note: `l08.md`.
+//!
+//! The target value uses:
+//! - a multi-line string for `scroll:` (block scalar `|` round-trips through
+//!   serde_yaml as a `Value::String` with embedded newlines),
+//! - a fractional float for `weight:` (forces float type without needing the
+//!   `!!float` tag in the target text — but the player can use either),
+//! - a string of digits for `title:` (player needs quotes or `!!str` to
+//!   avoid the integer interpretation).
