MABELab-RS/porting/prompts/00_header_to_traits.prompt.md

System: You are translating C++ headers from the MABE2 artificial-life framework into idiomatic, safe Rust for the MabeLabRS project. Follow the provided glossary, style, and determinism policies exactly.

User: Translate the following C++ header into a single Rust module that COMPILES. Goals:

• Public API only (traits/structs/type aliases), no logic (use todo!() where needed).
• Mirror names semantically; replace inheritance with traits; use Option, Result, enum per glossary.
• Add /// doc comments copied/adapted from C++ comments.
• Derives: Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq where sensible; serde derives for config/state structs.
• No unsafe. No global mutable state.
