"""Generate ``fixtures/docx/scale-runs-per-paragraph--<n>.docx``.

A single paragraph containing ``--runs`` bolded runs. Designed to
exercise python-docx's paragraph-mark ``<w:rPr>`` mirror logic
introduced in 2026.05.3: the mirror fires only for paragraphs with
exactly one direct ``<w:r>`` child, so the n=1 case should carry a
mirrored ``<w:pPr><w:rPr><w:b/></w:rPr></w:pPr>`` and n>1 cases
should not.

Assertions:
  - run count inside the single paragraph matches ``--runs``
  - when runs == 1, the paragraph mark mirrors ``<w:b/>``
  - when runs > 1, the paragraph mark does not mirror ``<w:b/>``

Usage::

    python scripts/gen_scale_runs_per_paragraph.py \
        --runs 10 \
        --out fixtures/docx/scale-runs-per-paragraph--n10.docx

    "notes": "The 2026.05.3 paragraph-mark mirror (commit 7f44cad) propagates a single-run paragraph's <w:rPr> formatting onto the paragraph mark as <w:pPr><w:rPr>. Multi-run paragraphs are intentionally left alone — Word's 'keep typing in bold' convention only applies when there's one unambiguous source. This family exercises both branches by scaling run count through 1 (mirror should fire) and 10/100/1000 (mirror should stay absent). It also forces a single paragraph to carry N runs, which exposes O(N^2) costs in any code path that re-scans the paragraph's child list per-run."
