//! Token-bucket rate limiter as a [`ServerInterceptor`].
//!
//! Provides [`RateLimitInterceptor`], a ready-made interceptor that limits
//! request throughput per caller. The caller key is derived from
//! [`CallContext::caller_identity`]; for unauthenticated callers behind a
//! trusted reverse proxy, the client IP can be taken from `x-forwarded-for`
//! (see [`RateLimitConfig::trusted_proxy_hops`]).
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use a2a_protocol_server::rate_limit::{RateLimitInterceptor, RateLimitConfig};
//!
//! let limiter = Arc::new(
//!     RateLimitInterceptor::new(RateLimitConfig {
//!         requests_per_window: 100,
//!         window_secs: 60,
//!         ..RateLimitConfig::default()
//!     })
//!     .expect("valid rate limit config"),
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! Then add it to the handler builder:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! let handler = RequestHandlerBuilder::new(executor)
//!     .with_interceptor(limiter)
//!     .build()?;
//! ```
//!
//! # Caller identity
//!
//! The per-caller key is derived in this order:
//!
//! 1. [`CallContext::caller_identity`] — set by an authentication interceptor.
//!    This is the recommended source: it cannot be forged by the client.
//! 2. The client IP from `x-forwarded-for`, **only** when
//!    [`RateLimitConfig::trusted_proxy_hops`] is non-zero. The header is
//!    client-controlled, so by default (`trusted_proxy_hops == 0`) it is
//!    ignored entirely — otherwise a caller could evade the limit by forging
//!    a fresh address on every request.
//! 3. A shared `"anonymous"` key. All remaining callers share one budget,
//!    which keeps the limit enforceable (fail-closed) at the cost of
//!    granularity.
//!
//! # Design
//!
//! Uses a fixed-window counter per caller key. Windows are aligned to wall
//! clock seconds. When a request exceeds the per-window limit, the `before`
//! hook returns an error. A2A / JSON-RPC define no dedicated throttling code,
//! so this surfaces as an internal error (`-32603`) whose message names the
//! rate limit; the request is rejected. (If you need a distinct client-visible
//! signal for backoff, wrap this in a transport adapter that maps the message
//! to your preferred status — e.g. HTTP 429.)
//!
//! The bucket map is bounded by [`RateLimitConfig::max_buckets`]. When the
//! map is full and stale buckets cannot be evicted, requests from *new*
//! callers are rejected until capacity frees up (fail-closed).
//!
//! For production deployments requiring sliding windows, distributed counters,
//! or more sophisticated algorithms, implement a custom [`ServerInterceptor`]
//! or use a reverse proxy (nginx, Envoy).
