Function: encodeLabel()

function encodeLabel(
   bitmap: LabelBitmap, 
   options?: LetraTagPrintOptions, 
   overrides?: __DebugEncoderOverrides, 
   context?: {
  engine?: PrintEngine;
  media?: MediaDescriptor;
  mtu?: number;
}): Uint8Array[];

Encode a complete LetraTag print job into the ordered list of BLE writes. The transport calls write() with each entry in turn.

The driver layer is responsible for translating copies > 1 into the correct sequence of jobs — typically that means emitting copies - 1 jobs with cut: false followed by one final job with cut: true. encodeLabel itself produces a single job at a time so callers retain control over per-copy status reads.

Pass engine (and optionally media) so the encoder can apply the chassis dead-zone correction via getPrintableArea from @thermal-label/contracts. When omitted, output is byte-identical to Phase-1 — the path used by every test in this package.
