One output's routing: the ONE sink endpoint a bus / main feeds, or NONE. A bus has at most
one destination (operator ruling 2026-08-06).
out is optional, and its absence is the point. An UNPATCHED bus is an ordinary state,
so it is written down as a row with no out rather than left out of the file — a patch that
simply omits an output cannot distinguish "routed nowhere" from "not mentioned", and the
restore would then quietly leave whatever the console already had.
The sink — a leg-aware OutputEndpoint ({L} / {R} / {L, R}), so a stereo
bus's legs can route to SEPARATE ports on separate devices (#142). Absent = unpatched.
