+/**
+ * # Vocabulary Export/Import Data Models
+ * 
+ * This file defines the data structures used for exporting and importing vocabulary data.
+ * The export format is designed to be:
+ * - **Portable**: Can be stored as JSON files, transmitted via REST APIs, shared via messaging apps
+ * - **Flexible**: Supports different export scopes (full repository, categories, individual items)
+ * - **Complete**: Preserves all data including learning stages, categories, and progress statistics
+ * - **Versioned**: Includes format version for future compatibility
+ * 
+ * ## Export Scopes
+ * 
+ * The system supports multiple export scopes via the [VocabularyExportData] sealed class:
+ * - [FullRepositoryExport]: Complete repository state with all items, categories, and mappings
+ * - [CategoryExport]: Single category with all its vocabulary items and their states
+ * - [ItemListExport]: Arbitrary list of vocabulary items with their associated data
+ * - [SingleItemExport]: Individual vocabulary item with its complete information
+ * 
+ * ## Data Preservation
+ * 
+ * Each export includes:
+ * - Vocabulary items (words, translations, features, creation dates)
+ * - Learning states (correct/incorrect counts, last answer timestamps)
+ * - Stage mappings (current learning stage for each item)
+ * - Categories (both manual tags and automatic filters)
+ * - Category memberships (which items belong to which categories)
+ * - Metadata (export date, format version, statistics)
+ * 
+ * ## Usage Examples
+ * 
+ * ### Exporting a full repository:
+ * ```kotlin
+ * val exportData = repository.exportFullRepository()
+ * val jsonString = Json.encodeToString(VocabularyExportData.serializer(), exportData)
+ * // Save to file, send via API, share via WhatsApp, etc.
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * ### Exporting a single category:
+ * ```kotlin
+ * val exportData = repository.exportCategory(categoryId)
+ * val jsonString = Json.encodeToString(VocabularyExportData.serializer(), exportData)
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * ### Importing data:
+ * ```kotlin
+ * val importData = Json.decodeFromString<VocabularyExportData>(jsonString)
+ * repository.importVocabularyData(importData, conflictStrategy = ConflictStrategy.MERGE)
+ * ```
