"""A guide as one portable file.
WHY
Sites are separate installations with separate databases, and the useful
ones are air-gapped from where a guide gets written. A procedure that can
only exist on the machine it was typed on is the problem this plugin was
built to end, one layer up: instead of a document stranded on a share, a
guide stranded in one site's database.
So: export to a single JSON file, carry it however files get carried
there - a share, a robocopy, a USB drive - and import it on the other side.
WHAT TRAVELS
Title, summary, tags and the blocks, plus every image the blocks reference,
inline as base64. One file, no companion directory: half a guide arriving
is worse than none, and a bundle that needs its images to be copied
alongside it is a bundle that will eventually arrive without them.
WHAT DOES NOT TRAVEL
Ids, revision history, authorship and publication state. A guide's id and
its revision numbering belong to the database that issued them, and an
imported guide starts as a draft on the far side, at revision 1, owned by
whoever ran the import. The SLUG travels, because the slug is the name
somebody pastes into a work order and the whole point is that the same
guide is the same guide on both sites.
