// MarshalSingleModule is a variant of [Marshal] that describes only a single
// module, without any references to its child modules or associated provider
// schemas.
//
// This uses only a subset of the typical configuration representation, due to
// schema and child module information being unavailable:
//   - Module calls omit the "module" property that would normally describe the
//     content of the child module.
//   - Resource descriptions omit the "schema_version" property because no
//     schema-based information is included.
//   - Expression-related properties are omitted in all cases. Technically only
//     expressions passed to providers _need_ to be omitted, but for now we
//     just consistently omit all of them because that's an easier rule to
//     explain and avoids exposing what is and is not provider-based so that
//     we could potentially change those details in future.

// this simple rule is factored out into this helper function only so we can
// centralize it underneath this doc comment explaining the special convention.
//
// (This rather odd design is a consequence of how this code evolved; we
// retrofitted the single-module mode later while using this strange treatment
// to minimize the risk to the existing working codepaths. Maybe we'll change
// the appoach to this in future; this is only an implementation detail
// within this package so we'll be able to those changes without affecting
