persistence.rs

1//! Small persistence helpers shared across platform harnesses.
2//!
3//! Both the native (disk) and wasm (localStorage) harnesses follow the
4//! same auto-save policy: each frame, serialize the current session
5//! state, compare to the last-persisted blob, and write only when they
6//! differ AND no mouse button is currently held.  The "no mouse held"
7//! guard keeps us from hammering the backend while the user is
8//! mid-drag / mid-resize.
9//!
10//! This module owns the diff-and-save policy so hosts don't reimplement
11//! it.  Callers plug in their own serializer and persist backend via
12//! closures — [`AutoSave::tick`] takes care of the rest.
13
14/// Tracks the last-persisted serialized blob so the platform harness
15/// can avoid writing unchanged state every frame.
16///
17/// # Example (pseudo-Rust)
18/// ```ignore
19/// let mut auto_save = AutoSave::new();
20/// loop {
21///     paint_frame();
22///     auto_save.tick(
23///         mouse_buttons_held == 0,
24///         || state.serialize(),
25///         |blob| std::fs::write("state.json", blob).ok(),
26///     );
27/// }
28/// ```
