//! ADR-017 §C.1 — `LoaderWrapper<E>`: a `ModelLoader<E>`-decorating
//! pass-through that drives [`crate::serve::kv_persist::KvPersistRegistry::bind_for`]
//! on every successful load and `unbind_for` at evict time.
//!
//! ## Why this exists (Chesterton's fence)
//!
//! Phase A.3's [`crate::serve::kv_persist::BlockPrefixCacheSpiller`]
//! has a per-family hook table keyed on `(repo, quant)`. Per-family
//! hooks that need engine-side state (e.g. Gemma 4 dense K/V buffers
//! living inside `MlxModelWeights`) need their engine handle wired
//! BEFORE the spiller's `post_admit` trigger fires (see
//! `spiller.rs:398-477`). The natural seam is the load path — the
//! moment a fresh `Engine` is constructed.
//!
//! `LoaderWrapper` decorates `Arc<dyn ModelLoader<E>>` to perform that
//! binding without modifying the `ModelLoader` trait surface (which
//! is stable per the iter-212 ship contract). On every successful
//! `load(path, config) -> E`, the wrapper:
//!
//! 1. Reads its `pending_bind` slot for `(repo, quant)`. The slot is
//!    populated by `cmd_serve` immediately before the `pool.load_or_get`
//!    call that drives this loader.
//! 2. Wraps the freshly-loaded `E` in `Arc<E>` and constructs an
//!    `Arc<dyn Any + Send + Sync>` view on the same allocation.
//! 3. Calls `registry.bind_for(repo, quant, engine_dyn)`. The hook's
//!    `EngineBindable::bind_engine` impl performs the downcast — for
//!    Gemma 4 dense it pulls out an `Arc<EngineHandle>`; for the C.1
//!    StubGemma4Spill it's a silent no-op.
//! 4. Reclaims the inner `E` via `Arc::try_unwrap` and returns it to
//!    the manager. This succeeds iff the bind hook didn't keep a clone
//!    of the `Arc`. The `EngineBindable` contract requires hooks to
//!    keep only what they downcast OUT of the Arc (e.g. the inner
//!    `Arc<EngineHandle>` reachable from the type-erased Any), not
//!    the Arc itself.
//!
//! ## Why a `pending_bind` slot instead of a thread-local
//!
//! The `ModelLoader::load(path, config)` signature carries no
//! `(repo, quant)` context — `HotSwapManager::load_or_get` knows
//! those values but the loader callsite inside `load_or_get` does
//! not pass them through (see `multi_model.rs::HotSwapManager`'s
//! load path; modifying that surface is out-of-scope for C.1).
//!
//! Two seams are available without touching `multi_model.rs`:
//!
//! 1. A thread-local set by `cmd_serve` before `load_or_get`. Fragile
//!    under tokio's work-stealing scheduler — the load can resume on
//!    a different thread than the setter.
//! 2. A `Mutex<Option<(String, QuantType)>>` "pending" slot on the
//!    wrapper itself, set by `cmd_serve` before the
//!    synchronous `load_or_get` call. The wrapper consumes the slot
//!    inside its `load(...)` impl. Production `cmd_serve` startup is
//!    single-threaded so there is no setter/load race. Tests assert
//!    the discipline directly (the bind only fires when a pending
//!    slot is set).
//!
//! Option 2 is the chosen design. It keeps the dependency graph
//! local (no env / TLS pollution) and exercises a synchronous
//! contract that's easy to test.
//!
//! ## What the wrapper does NOT do
//!
//! - Does NOT panic on `Arc::try_unwrap` failure. A failure here means
//!   the hook held a clone of the type-erased Arc (which violates the
//!   `EngineBindable` contract). The wrapper surfaces this as a
//!   `LoaderFailed`-shaped `anyhow::Error` so the manager treats the
//!   load as failed (same shape as a real load error). Production
//!   hooks NEVER hit this path; tests assert the shape of the error.
//! - Does NOT enforce that the registry has a hook registered for
//!   `(repo, quant)`. Missing-hook is a silent no-op at the registry
//!   layer (per `KvPersistRegistry::bind_for` semantics).
//! - Does NOT clear the pending slot on load failure — the inner
//!   loader's failure is the operator's signal to retry, and a stale
//!   pending slot is a no-op until the next successful load consumes
//!   it.
