//! Asynchronous event reactor.
//!
//! This module provides a lightweight wrapper around Linux `epoll` for
//! multiplexing I/O events. It is optimized for edge-triggered monitoring.
//! It is intentionally explicit about Linux readiness semantics rather than
//! hiding them behind a higher-level async runtime abstraction.

/// A lightweight epoll reactor using edge-triggered monitoring (EPOLLET).
///
/// ### Edge-Triggered Contract
/// Because this reactor uses EPOLLET, all handlers MUST drain their respective
/// read or write sources until they receive an `EAGAIN` / `EWOULDBLOCK` error
/// (represented as `Ok(None)` in the `Fd` helpers).
///
/// Failure to drain a source will result in missing future readiness events
/// for that file descriptor until it is re-registered or another event occurs.
///
/// ### Fork Safety
/// The `Reactor` owns an `epoll` descriptor which is `O_CLOEXEC`. After an
/// `exec` call in a child process, the reactor and all its registrations are
/// lost. If the child continues without `exec`, it shares the same epoll
/// instance, which is generally unsafe and requires careful coordination.
///
/// # Example
/// ```no_run
/// # use coreshift_core::reactor::{Reactor, Fd, Event};
/// # fn example(fd: Fd) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
/// let mut reactor = Reactor::new()?;
/// let token = reactor.add(&fd, true, false)?;
///
/// let mut events = Vec::new();
/// loop {
///     reactor.wait(&mut events, 64, -1)?;
///     for ev in &events {
///         if ev.token == token {
///             // Drain fd...
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
