6//! Token-bucket rate limiter as a [`ServerInterceptor`].
7//!
8//! Provides [`RateLimitInterceptor`], a ready-made interceptor that limits
9//! request throughput per caller. The caller key is derived from
10//! [`CallContext::caller_identity`]; for unauthenticated callers behind a
11//! trusted reverse proxy, the client IP can be taken from `x-forwarded-for`
12//! (see [`RateLimitConfig::trusted_proxy_hops`]).
13//!
14//! # Example
15//!
16//! ```rust
17//! use std::sync::Arc;
18//! use a2a_protocol_server::rate_limit::{RateLimitInterceptor, RateLimitConfig};
19//!
20//! let limiter = Arc::new(
21//!     RateLimitInterceptor::new(RateLimitConfig {
22//!         requests_per_window: 100,
23//!         window_secs: 60,
24//!         ..RateLimitConfig::default()
25//!     })
26//!     .expect("valid rate limit config"),
27//! );
28//! ```
29//!
30//! Then add it to the handler builder:
31//!
32//! ```rust,ignore
33//! let handler = RequestHandlerBuilder::new(executor)
34//!     .with_interceptor(limiter)
35//!     .build()?;
36//! ```
37//!
38//! # Caller identity
39//!
40//! The per-caller key is derived in this order:
41//!
42//! 1. [`CallContext::caller_identity`] — set by an authentication interceptor.
43//!    This is the recommended source: it cannot be forged by the client.
44//! 2. The client IP from `x-forwarded-for`, **only** when
45//!    [`RateLimitConfig::trusted_proxy_hops`] is non-zero. The header is
46//!    client-controlled, so by default (`trusted_proxy_hops == 0`) it is
47//!    ignored entirely — otherwise a caller could evade the limit by forging
48//!    a fresh address on every request.
49//! 3. A shared `"anonymous"` key. All remaining callers share one budget,
50//!    which keeps the limit enforceable (fail-closed) at the cost of
51//!    granularity.
52//!
53//! # Design
54//!
55//! Uses a fixed-window counter per caller key. Windows are aligned to wall
56//! clock seconds. When a request exceeds the per-window limit, the `before`
57//! hook returns an error. A2A / JSON-RPC define no dedicated throttling code,
58//! so this surfaces as an internal error (`-32603`) whose message names the
59//! rate limit; the request is rejected. (If you need a distinct client-visible
60//! signal for backoff, wrap this in a transport adapter that maps the message
61//! to your preferred status — e.g. HTTP 429.)
62//!
63//! The bucket map is bounded by [`RateLimitConfig::max_buckets`]. When the
64//! map is full and stale buckets cannot be evicted, requests from *new*
65//! callers are rejected until capacity frees up (fail-closed).
66//!
67//! For production deployments requiring sliding windows, distributed counters,
68//! or more sophisticated algorithms, implement a custom [`ServerInterceptor`]
69//! or use a reverse proxy (nginx, Envoy).
