Format catalog

This is the public index of embroidery-related formats Satin Studio tracks. Support status is separate from documentation: a format can be listed here before Satin Studio can open or export it. Each format page includes observed structure notes and a Rust-like structure sketch; low-confidence entries are labeled as candidate shapes rather than parser contracts.
