//! # AutoCore Standard Library
//!
//! The standard library for writing AutoCore control programs. This crate provides
//! everything you need to build real-time control applications that integrate with
//! the AutoCore server ecosystem.
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! AutoCore control programs run as separate processes that communicate with the
//! autocore-server via shared memory and IPC. This library handles all the low-level
//! details, allowing you to focus on your control logic.
//!

//! ```
//!
//! ## Quick Start
//!
//! 1. Create a new control project using `acctl`:
//!    ```bash
//!    acctl clone <server-ip> <project-name>
//!    ```
//!
//! 2. Implement the [`ControlProgram`] trait:
//!    ```ignore
//!    use autocore_std::{ControlProgram, TickContext};
//!    use autocore_std::fb::RTrig;
//!
//!    // GlobalMemory is generated from your project.json
//!    mod gm;
//!    use gm::GlobalMemory;
//!
//!    pub struct MyProgram {
//!        start_button: RTrig,
//!    }
//!
//!    impl MyProgram {
//!        pub fn new() -> Self {
//!            Self {
//!                start_button: RTrig::new(),
//!            }
//!        }
//!    }
//!
//!    impl ControlProgram for MyProgram {
//!        type Memory = GlobalMemory;
//!
//!        fn process_tick(&mut self, ctx: &mut TickContext<Self::Memory>) {
//!            // Detect rising edge on start button
//!            if self.start_button.call(ctx.gm.inputs.start_button) {
//!                ctx.gm.outputs.motor_running = true;
//!                autocore_std::log::info!("Motor started!");
//!            }
//!        }
//!    }
//!    ```
//!
//! 3. Use the [`autocore_main!`] macro for the entry point:
//!    ```ignore
//!    autocore_std::autocore_main!(MyProgram, "my_project_shm", "tick");
//!    ```
//!
//! ## Function Blocks (IEC 61131-3 Inspired)
//!
//! This library includes standard function blocks commonly used in PLC programming:
//!
//! - [`fb::RTrig`] - Rising edge detector (false→true transition)
//! - [`fb::FTrig`] - Falling edge detector (true→false transition)
//! - [`fb::Ton`] - Timer On Delay (output after delay)
//! - [`fb::BitResetOnDelay`] - Resets a boolean after it has been true for a duration
//! - [`fb::SimpleTimer`] - Simple one-shot timer (NOT IEC 61131-3, for imperative use)
//! - [`fb::StateMachine`] - State machine helper with automatic timer management
//! - [`fb::RunningAverage`] - Accumulates values and computes their arithmetic mean
//! - [`fb::Beeper`] - Audible beeper controller with configurable beep sequences
//! - [`fb::Heartbeat`] - Monitors a remote heartbeat counter for connection loss
//!
//! ### Example: Edge Detection
//!
//! ```
//! use autocore_std::fb::RTrig;
//!
//! let mut trigger = RTrig::new();
//!
//! // First call with false - no edge
//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(false), false);
//!
//! // Rising edge detected!
//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(true), true);
//!
//! // Still true, but no edge (already high)
//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(true), false);
//!
//! // Back to false
//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(false), false);
//!
//! // Another rising edge
//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(true), true);
//! ```
//!
//! ### Example: Timer
//!
//! ```
//! use autocore_std::fb::Ton;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! let mut timer = Ton::new();
//! let delay = Duration::from_millis(100);
//!
//! // Timer not enabled - output is false
//! assert_eq!(timer.call(false, delay), false);
//!
//! // Enable timer - starts counting
//! assert_eq!(timer.call(true, delay), false);
//!
//! // Still counting...
//! std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(50));
//! assert_eq!(timer.call(true, delay), false);
//! assert!(timer.et < delay); // Elapsed time < preset
//!
//! // After delay elapsed
//! std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(60));
//! assert_eq!(timer.call(true, delay), true); // Output is now true!
//! ```
//!
//! ## Logging
//!
//! Control programs can send log messages to the autocore-server for display in the
//! web console. Logging is handled automatically when using [`ControlRunner`].
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use autocore_std::log;
//!
//! log::trace!("Detailed trace message");
//! log::debug!("Debug information");
//! log::info!("Normal operation message");
//! log::warn!("Warning condition detected");
//! log::error!("Error occurred!");
//! ```
//!
//! See the [`logger`] module for advanced configuration.
//!
//! ## Memory Synchronization
//!
//! The [`ControlRunner`] handles all shared memory synchronization automatically:
//!
//! 1. **Wait for tick** - Blocks until the server signals a new cycle
//! 2. **Read inputs** - Copies shared memory to local buffer (atomic snapshot)
//! 3. **Execute logic** - Your `process_tick` runs on the local buffer
//! 4. **Write outputs** - Copies local buffer back to shared memory
//!
//! This ensures your control logic always sees a consistent view of the data,
//! even when other processes are modifying shared memory.

/// # Control Loop
///
/// The runner executes a synchronous control loop:
///
/// 1. **Wait** - Blocks until the tick signal is set by the server

/// 5. **Signal** - Sets the busy signal (if configured) to indicate completion
///
/// This ensures your code always sees a consistent snapshot of the data
/// and that your writes are atomically visible to other processes.
