//! Sustained load against a real server, for long enough that a leak shows.
//!
//! # Why this exists
//!
//! Nothing in this repository measured anything longer than a benchmark. The
//! Criterion suites time individual operations at fixed concurrency for a few
//! seconds, which answers "how fast is one call" and cannot answer "does this
//! survive an afternoon". Every claim about behaviour under sustained load was
//! therefore unevidenced — including the optimistic ones, and the SLIMRPC
//! README was the only place in the tree that said so.
//!
//! This is the smallest thing that closes that: a real server on a real socket,
//! real HTTP clients, running until told to stop, with memory and latency
//! sampled throughout.
//!
//! # What it asserts, and why it is expressed per request
//!
//! Resident memory is compared **per completed request**, not as a total or a
//! rate per second. A leak in a request path — a task never dropped, an event
//! queue never closed, a cancellation token never swept — costs a fixed amount
//! each time, so per-request growth is the shape the defect actually has. It
//! is also the only form of the assertion that means the same thing on a fast
//! machine and a slow one, at 60 seconds and at an hour: doubling the duration
//! doubles both the requests and a real leak, and changes neither the
//! threshold nor the verdict.
//!
//! An allocator does not return every page it frees, so the threshold is a
//! ceiling on *unbounded* growth rather than a claim that steady state is
//! perfectly flat. A per-request leak of even a small struct exceeds it by
//! orders of magnitude over a run of this length.
//!
//! Latency is compared between the first and last quarters of the run, which
//! catches the degradations memory does not: a collection that stays bounded in
//! bytes but is scanned linearly, a lock whose hold time grows with history.
//!
//! # Running it
//!
//! `#[ignore]`d, like the SPIFFE suites, so a contributor is never blocked by a
//! minute of load — which means CI has to ask for it by name or it runs
//! nowhere:
//!
//! ```text
//! cargo test -p a2a-protocol-server --test soak -- --ignored --nocapture
//! A2A_SOAK_SECS=3600 cargo test -p a2a-protocol-server --test soak -- --ignored --nocapture
//! ```
//!
//! `--nocapture` is worth the habit: the sample table it prints is the evidence,
//! and a pass with no numbers is exactly the kind of claim this file exists to
//! stop making.
//!
//! # What it does not cover
//!
//! One process, loopback, in-memory store, no proxy. It cannot see anything
//! that needs a second replica, a real network, or a real disk — the
//! per-process rate limiter and the shared-store questions are still
//! unevidenced, and this file does not change that.
