StatifierBlocks.Describe.Edge (StatifierBlocks v0.36.1)

One way control passes between blocks in a StatifierBlocks.Describe outline, in the vocabulary of the package's note on the block-level flow graph, docs/block-level-flow-graph.md (ADR-0016 decision 1).

container is the block whose structure produced the edge. An endpoint names a block and which part of it the edge touches: {:block, id} the block itself, {:entry, id} and {:exit, id} a container's entry and exit, and {:body, id} a group's body.

`kind`	From	To	Carries
`:entry`	`{:entry, container}`	the first child, or `{:exit, container}` for an empty body	nothing
`:sequence`	a child	the next child in the same slot	`outcomes`
`:exit`	the last child of a slot	`{:exit, container}`	`outcomes`
`:branch`	`{:entry, branch}`	an arm's first child, or `{:exit, branch}` for an empty arm	`condition`
`:interrupt`	a handler	`{:exit, group}` to abandon, `{:body, group}` to resume	`event`, `history`

outcomes is every outcome name the source block's type declares, on the one edge. condition is the arm's condition as its config holds it (nil when none is written), :otherwise, or :undecided. history is :shallow or :deep for a resume into a core.resumable_group, and nil otherwise: a resume into a core.group restarts its body from the first step.
