// Do no harm. Respect others. Be honest. Be evidence-driven and fact-based. Never guess — test

//! A server you can stop without cutting the calls that are still running.
//!
//! [`serve`](super::serve) accepts forever and never returns, so the only way
//! to stop it is to drop its future. That cancels the accept loop; it does
//! nothing to the connection tasks already spawned, which are simply killed
//! when the runtime goes away. An in-flight `SendMessage` is truncated
//! mid-response and the caller sees a closed socket, not an answer.
//!
//! That was survivable while the only thing pointed at `serve` was an example
//! killed with Ctrl-C. It stopped being survivable once the same function was
//! the one the Quick Start teaches: `examples/deploy-agent` — the example whose
//! whole subject is shipping — had to reach for the Axum adapter to get
//! `with_graceful_shutdown`, because the SDK's own entry point could not drain.
//!
//! [`Server`] closes that. It also bounds four things `serve` leaves unbounded,
//! all of which are only visible once a real deployment is behind it:
//!
//! * **Concurrent connections.** `serve` spawns a task per accepted socket with
//!   no ceiling. [`ServeConfig::max_connections`] holds the permit *before*
//!   accepting, so excess load waits in the kernel's backlog — where it belongs
//!   — rather than as unbounded tasks.
//! * **Time to send headers.** A peer dribbling request headers a byte at a
//!   time held a task for as long as it liked. This is the part that reads as
//!   a missing feature and is really a misassembly: hyper *has* this timeout
//!   and defaults it to 30 seconds, but honours it only when a
//!   [`Timer`](hyper::rt::Timer) is installed, and no server here installed
//!   one. Every component was correct and the composition was not, which is
//!   why the test for it speaks to a socket rather than to a type. See
//!   [`ServeConfig::header_read_timeout`].
//! * **Time spent doing nothing.** What the header timeout cannot cover: a
//!   peer that sent headers promptly and then stopped mid-body, or one that
//!   finished a request and held the connection open in silence. Hyper has no
//!   answer for this because "idle" is a policy question, so
//!   [`ServeConfig::idle_timeout`] answers it at the socket, counting traffic
//!   in *either* direction so a streaming SSE response is not mistaken for a
//!   dead one.
//! * **Connection outcomes.** `serve` discards the result of
//!   `serve_connection` entirely (`let _ = …`), so a connection that failed to
//!   negotiate and one that served a thousand requests are indistinguishable.
//!   Here the error is traced.
//!
//! The two timeouts default to *on*, which is a deliberate difference from
//! `max_connections`: a deployment might genuinely want no connection ceiling,
//! but nobody wants a slowloris to be free.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust,no_run

//!         .with_max_connections(1024)
//!         .with_drain_timeout(Duration::from_secs(15)),
//! );
//!
//! // On Ctrl-C: stop accepting, let in-flight tasks finish for up to
//! // `completion_grace`, cancel the rest and give their executors
//! // `task_grace` to end them, then drain the connections.
//! let report = server
//!     .serve_with_shutdown(JsonRpcDispatcher::new(Arc::clone(&handler)), async {

//! let handler_report = handler.shutdown().await;
//!
