//! Hot-reload agent card handler.
//!
//! [`HotReloadAgentCardHandler`] wraps an [`AgentCard`] behind an
//! [`Arc<RwLock<_>>`](std::sync::Arc) so the card can be replaced at runtime
//! without restarting the server. The handler implements [`AgentCardProducer`]
//! and can therefore be used with [`DynamicAgentCardHandler`](super::DynamicAgentCardHandler).
//!
//! Three reload strategies are provided:
//!
//! | Method | Platform | Mechanism |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | [`reload_from_file`](HotReloadAgentCardHandler::reload_from_file) | all | Reads a JSON file on demand |
//! | [`spawn_poll_watcher`](HotReloadAgentCardHandler::spawn_poll_watcher) | all | Polls file modification time at a configurable interval |
//! | [`spawn_signal_watcher`](HotReloadAgentCardHandler::spawn_signal_watcher) | unix | Reloads on `SIGHUP` |
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::path::Path;
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use a2a_protocol_types::agent_card::AgentCard;
//! use a2a_protocol_server::agent_card::hot_reload::HotReloadAgentCardHandler;
//!
//! # fn example(card: AgentCard) {
//! let handler = HotReloadAgentCardHandler::new(card);
//!
//! // Periodic polling (cross-platform).
//! let handle = handler.spawn_poll_watcher(
//!     Path::new("/etc/a2a/agent.json"),
//!     std::time::Duration::from_secs(30),
//! );
//! // `handle` can be dropped or `.abort()`-ed to stop polling.
//! # }
//! ```
