1//! The harness-integration seam: the [`AgentHarness`] trait an integrator implements and the
2//! live [`AgentSession`] it produces.
3//!
4//! This is the SDK's published extension seam, mirroring `aion-client`'s `WorkflowTransport`
5//! (a dedicated `#[async_trait]` contract module). It is **harness-blind by construction**: no
6//! signature names a concrete harness, a transport, or a wire protocol. A harness is integrated
7//! by implementing these traits in a separate adapter crate; the seam speaks only neutral run
8//! identity, the neutral [`ActivityEvent`] / [`InterventionCommand`] types, the neutral
9//! [`InterventionCapabilities`] advertisement, and a neutral terminal [`Payload`].
10//!
11//! # Designed from two cases so it is provably general
12//!
13//! The seam is designed against two deliberately different integrations at once, so it cannot be
14//! shaped by any one harness:
15//!
16//! - a full rich-path harness (a bidirectional channel, streamed events out, acknowledged
17//! commands in, a structured terminal result), and
18//! - a plain-stdout, **observability-only** CLI agent (no command channel at all): it demuxes
19//! interleaved stdout into [`ActivityEvent`]s (mostly [`aion_core::ActivityEventKind::Raw`]),
20//! advertises an **empty** [`InterventionCapabilities`] set, and yields its final output as the
21//! result.
22//!
23//! The empty-capability case is what forces [`AgentSession::intervene`] to be
24//! optional-by-capability: an empty advertisement is a valid, first-class tier, and a session
25//! that advertises it rejects every command with [`HarnessError::CapabilityNotSupported`].

120/// It mirrors [`AgentSession`] exactly EXCEPT that the terminal [`Self::wait_result`]

124/// ergonomic typed trait and gets the erased form for free.
125///
126/// The async methods are `?Send`-dispatched. [`AgentSession`] is `Send` but not
127/// `Sync`, so a `&session` cannot cross threads; the worker holds an erased session
128/// inside ONE task and drives it (plus its event drain) there — never `tokio::spawn`-ing
129/// a borrow of it — so requiring `Sync` would over-constrain every adapter for no gain.
