Export: stable IDs for maps/layers in snapshot #9

@danmaps

Description

@danmaps

Why

Downstream packs (smells/approach/automation feasibility) need stable identifiers to avoid name collisions and to diff reliably.

Proposal

Add stable IDs to snapshot/context output:

  • Map: id
  • Layer: id
  • Table: id (if applicable)

Acceptance Criteria

  • IDs are stable across exports for the same underlying object when possible.
  • IDs are present in the flat files under .arcgispro/context/.
  • CLI inspect displays IDs optionally (or at least they exist in JSON).

Notes

If ArcGIS Pro SDK exposes a GUID/item ID, prefer that. Otherwise derive an ID deterministically from (project path + item URI + map + layer path) and document stability guarantees.
