//! Bootstrap-window gateway fallback shared across operations (#4361 / #4365).
//!
//! A freshly started node has an empty ring (`connections_by_location` has no
//! entries) for its first minutes, yet already holds a live transient transport
//! connection to its gateway. Operation peer-selection consults only the ring,
//! so without a fallback every op in that window either fails or finalizes
//! locally without ever using the transient gateway connection.
//!
//! GET introduced the bounded gateway fallback in #4364; this module lifts the
//! selection core out of GET so PUT, UPDATE, and SUBSCRIBE reuse exactly the
//! same rule at their own decision points (#4365).

/// Pure selection core for the bootstrap gateway fallback (#4361).
///
/// Returns the first configured gateway that is not this node and not
/// excluded by the caller's skip predicate — but ONLY when the ring is
/// empty (`ring_connection_count == 0`). A non-empty ring means normal
/// routing had ring entries to consider (its candidates may still all
/// be filtered as transient/visited, but that exhaustion is genuine),
/// so the fallback must stay out of the way.
///
/// Selection is deliberately deterministic (config order), unlike the
/// randomized pick in #3219's CONNECT re-bootstrap: independent selectors
/// (e.g. a client driver and the per-attempt loopback relay) must converge
/// on the same gateway given the same exclusion set — stream claims and
/// route telemetry are attributed via the chosen target, so divergence
/// would mis-key both. Failover diversity comes from the exclusion
/// predicate (tried/visited), not from randomization.
///
/// Split out from [`bootstrap_gateway_target`] so unit tests can
/// exercise the selection rules without constructing an `OpManager`.

/// Bootstrap gateway fallback (#4361).
///
/// A node whose ring is still empty (`connections_by_location` has no
/// entries) has zero routing candidates, so without a fallback an
/// operation either fails instantly or finalizes locally — even though
/// the node has a live transient transport connection to its gateway
/// (the same connection its CONNECT handshake is negotiating over).
/// Production analog: a freshly started node misbehaves on every op for
/// its first minutes until ring promotion completes.
///
/// When the ring is empty, fall back to a configured gateway. Wire
/// delivery works before ring promotion: the event loop's
/// `OutboundMessageWithTarget` handler resolves targets by socket addr
/// against the transport map (which includes transient connections)
/// and re-dials configured gateways if the transport lapsed. Mirrors
/// the #3219 zero-connection CONNECT re-bootstrap shape, which gates
/// on the same `connection_count() == 0` condition.
///
/// Load-bearing assumption: `connection_count()` counts only **promoted
/// ring** peers (`connections_by_location`), a map disjoint from the
/// transient-connection map. That is what makes `== 0` fire precisely
/// during the bootstrap window (transient gateway connection present,
/// ring not yet formed) and stay out of the way the moment any ring
/// connection is promoted. If a future change ever inserted transient
/// connections into `connections_by_location`, this gate would silently
/// no-op the fallback across all ops.
///
/// Tradeoff for genuinely unreachable gateways (e.g. an offline
/// machine): a dial failure is not surfaced to the waiting driver, so
/// each attempt waits its full per-attempt timeout before advancing,
/// where the pre-fallback behavior failed instantly. The instant
/// failure was a false answer (a false "contract absent" for GET, a
/// false "success" for PUT), so slower but honest is preferred; a
/// distinct fail-fast "not bootstrapped / unreachable" client error is
/// #4166's scope.
