1//! The three agents, what each can do, and how a request becomes an argv.
2//!
3//! Everything here is pure: [`Agent::argv`] builds a command line from a
4//! [`Plan`] without touching the filesystem, the clock, or a process, so every
5//! flag mapping is covered by an ordinary unit test. Spawning lives in
6//! [`crate::run`].
