BlocState class abstract

Abstract base class that all bloc state classes must extend.

BlocState is intentionally minimal to provide maximum flexibility while ensuring type safety in the framework. Concrete implementations should:

• Prefer immutable state when possible
• If using mutable state, document clearly why it's needed

• Consider implementing a copy or clone mechanism

• Be aware that widgets can potentially modify mutable state

While BlocState is minimal, derived states often implement:

• Immutable data structures
• Copyable state patterns
• Equatable comparisons
• Complex nested states
• Collection management

Example:

class CounterState extends BlocState {
  final int count;

  const CounterState({required this.count});

  // Optional but recommended copy method
  CounterState withCount(int newCount) =>
    CounterState(count: newCount);
}

While immutable state is recommended for predictable state management, this class imposes no restrictions to support different use cases.
