balls 0.5.10

Git-native task tracker for parallel agent workflows
Documentation
//! Input-side §7 payload — the slice of the wire the tracker reads back.
//!
//! [`crate::wire`] is output-only: balls serializes a payload to a plugin's
//! stdin and never deserializes one (the §7 no-return-channel rule). The
//! tracker is the SEPARATE binary on the receiving end, so it owns its own
//! input type — and it needs exactly the `binding`, "exactly what a fetcher
//! needs" (§7). The op and phase arrive on argv (§6 `<bin> <op> <phase>`), so
//! the payload contributes only the binding; every other wire field is ignored
//! by serde, which keeps this type stable as the wire grows.

/// §7 binding — where the op is happening, from the tracker's seat. `remote` is
/// absent in a stealth (no-remote) repo, which is the tracker's whole branch
/// point: no remote ⇒ nothing to talk to. `stealth` is the §12 declared opt-out
/// (the landing `task_remote` sentinel, derived by core per op — bl-9df0): it
/// makes the no-remote read DECLARED rather than
/// inferred, suppressing even `origin` discovery (absent on every ordinary
/// payload, so it defaults `false`). `store` is the STORE checkout it
/// fetches/pushes `tasks_branch` against (§2); `landing` is the `balls/config`
/// checkout the `install/pre` config fetch targets (§6/§13) and the W2 gap's
/// durable-ladder read (bl-9df0 — every other handler
/// ignores it, so it defaults empty); `invocation_path` locates the project
/// repo whose `origin` is the implicit bottom tier (§12).
