rpc.rs

//! The `coder.*` JSON-RPC surface — session registry, orchestration, fanout.
//!
//! Transport-thin: `handle_coder_*` functions parse params and delegate to
//! orchestration functions that are generation-injectable (the same seam as
//! the loops), so the full start→confirm→run→approve flow is testable with a
//! scripted model and a temp git repo.
//!
//! ## Event fanout
//!
//! Each session owns an [`EventSink`] whose emitter feeds an unbounded
//! channel; one drain task per session appends to the replay buffer and
//! forwards `coder.event` notification frames to every subscribed WS channel.
//! `coder.subscribe` replays from a `seq` cursor while holding the buffer
//! lock, then registers — same no-gap/no-dup discipline as `runs.subscribe`.
//!
//! ## Board watch fanout
//!
//! `coder.subscribe` is per-session: a client has to know a session exists
//! before it can watch it, which is exactly what a board cannot assume — runs
//! start from `car code`, CarHost and milo too. `coder.watch` is the
//! complementary registration: one per connection, covering every session,
//! answered with the current list AND registered under the same lock so no
//! session can slip through the gap between snapshot and subscribe. Changes
//! arrive as `coder.session_changed`, emitted from the event path (never a
//! poller) so an attention transition reaches an open board immediately.
//!
//! Lock order: `events` buffer → `coder_subscribers` → `coder_watchers`; never
//! the reverse.

///   that fixed the trust boundary, telling the operator it "could not be
///   expressed as contract checks".
/// - **`allow_credentials` IS part of the key.** It changes which frozen
///   policy chain executes every check, so treating that edit as prose-only
///   would silently discard the operator's authority decision.
/// - **`description` is NOT part of the key.** It is free text and gates

///    assumed: `transition` logs and continues when `persist` fails, so
///    terminal does not imply written.
/// 3. **A session whose loop task has not finished is never collected.**
///    Dropping a `JoinHandle` detaches the task, it does not stop it — and a
///    still-running task holds its own clone of the entry, so collecting there
///    would remove the map key and free nothing.
/// 4. **The session lock is `try_lock`, never awaited, and the registry guard
///    is never held while a session lock is.** A session whose lock is held is
///    by definition in use, so failing to acquire it is itself the answer. This
///    keeps the sweep off the path that once wedged every `coder.*` call
///    daemon-wide. Snapshot `Arc`s under the guard, decide outside it, re-take

// `services` record shape: declarative agents (ranked by the same capability
// similarity as `declagents.route`, so discovery rides the AgentNet learning —
// success priors + capability centroids — for free), observe-only registry
// services (`~/.car/registry/`, the dashboard-registered local services),
// connected MCP connector tools, installed external CLIs, A2A peer skills, and
// the opt-in remote Parslee root server (the cross-vendor case). Only
