//! LSUB-L2: in-band cross-node work dispatch over liminal (end-to-end).
//!
//! The whole file is gated on `liminal-transport`, so a default build never
//! compiles it and never links liminal. It stands up a REAL `liminal-server` over
//! loopback TCP with the aion `LiminalConnectionNotifier` installed, and a REAL
//! remote `aion-worker` (`LiminalActivityWorker`) that connects WITH an in-band
//! `WorkerRegistration` (`connect_with_registration`). The server's notifier
//! auto-registers the worker into the EXISTING connected-worker registry as a
//! liminal-delivered member, a pushed `DispatchRequest` is executed through the
//! worker's real activity registry, and the correlated `DispatchResponse`
//! re-enters aion through the SAME `OutboxDeliveryCallback` the gRPC completion
//! path uses. On worker disconnect the notifier deregisters it.
//!
//! This RETIRES the LSUB-1 out-of-band registration hack: there is no
//! `active_connection_pids()` loop and no hard-coded `register_liminal_worker`
//! helper — the worker self-describes and the server reacts in-band.
//!
//! The proof:
//!
//! - `xnode_inband_dispatch_routes_executes_and_completes` — the worker connects
//!   with a registration, the installed notifier registers it, a staged outbox
//!   row for the worker's `(namespace, task_queue, node)` pool is claimed
//!   (scoped), pushed to the worker, executed, and its terminal completion is
//!   recorded exactly once through the delivery callback; the worker observably
//!   ran the activity. On worker disconnect the server deregisters it (the
//!   registry no longer routes to its pool).
//! - `dispatch_for_a_different_pool_is_not_delivered` — a row for a DIFFERENT pool
//!   selects no worker and the worker never runs it; routing selection is the
//!   same registry semantics the gRPC path uses. Since #52 R4 that dispatch
//!   PARKS under the queue-service policy rather than returning a no-worker
//!   error, so the test asserts the invariant (never executed by a worker that
//!   does not serve its pool) and deliberately does not assert which of the two
//!   the dispatch does — see the test's own docs.
