//! Utilities for graceful channel shutdown handling.
//!
//! When actors communicate via channels, senders may outlive receivers during shutdown.
//! This module provides extension traits and helpers that handle disconnection gracefully
//! rather than panicking.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use commonware_utils::channel::fallible::FallibleExt;
//!
//! // Fire-and-forget: silently ignore disconnection
//! sender.send_lossy(Message::Shutdown);
//!
//! // Request-response: return None on disconnection
//! let result = sender.request(|tx| Message::Query { responder: tx }).await;
//! ```
