This module implements a sophisticated watermark system that provides professional ASCII art author signatures and decorative elements for file headers. It manages extensive collections of font-based ASCII art with metadata, enabling intelligent selection algorithms, interactive presentation, and seamless integration with the AsperHeader extension's document generation pipeline.

Watermark Architecture:

• Collection Management: Centralized font collection with metadata tracking
• Selection Engine: Intelligent random and weighted selection algorithms
  
• Presentation Layer: Rich webview integration with interactive controls
• Font Classification: Comprehensive categorization and tagging system
• Quality Assurance: Validation and quality control for ASCII art content
• Integration Framework: Deep coupling with header generation systems

Font Collection Features:

• Multi-Font Support: Extensive library of ASCII art fonts and styles
• Metadata Rich: Each watermark includes font name, style, and characteristics
• Quality Control: Curated collection ensuring consistent visual quality
• Size Optimization: Multiple size variants for different use cases
• Style Classification: Categorization by style (block, script, decorative, etc.)
• Historical Fonts: Classic ASCII art fonts with authentic typography

JSON Data Structure:

[
  {
    "Logo": ["ASCII art line 1", "ASCII art line 2", "..."],
    "fontName": "Font Display Name"
  }
]

Interactive Presentation System:

• Webview Integration: Full VS Code webview with rich HTML presentation
• User Controls: Copy, zoom, navigation, and preference controls
• Font Information: Detailed font metadata display and attribution
• Preview Modes: Multiple viewing modes (actual size, fit to window, etc.)
• Accessibility: Full keyboard navigation and screen reader support
• Export Options: Multiple output formats for watermark extraction

Selection Algorithms:

• Pure Random: Uniform distribution across all available watermarks
• Weighted Selection: Preference-based selection with user customization
• Style Filtering: Selection within specific style categories
• Quality Filtering: Selection based on complexity and quality metrics
• Context Awareness: Selection based on file type and project context
• User History: Avoid recent selections to ensure variety

Integration Capabilities:

• Header Generation: Primary watermark source for CommentGenerator
• Configuration System: User preferences via processConfiguration
• File Management: Asset loading via LazyFileLoader
• Logging System: Operation tracking via logger
• Message System: Localized content via messageProvider

Performance Optimization:

• Lazy Loading: Watermark collections loaded only when accessed
• Caching Strategy: Intelligent caching of frequently used watermarks
• Memory Management: Efficient cleanup and garbage collection
• Async Operations: Non-blocking file operations and webview updates
• Batch Processing: Efficient handling of large watermark collections
