kernex-core 0.8.2

//! Unified error type for all Kernex crates.
//!
//! # Architecture (0.5.0)
//!
//! `KernexError` is the workspace-level aggregate. Variants whose cause
//! originates in a sibling crate (`Provider`, `Store`, `Pipeline`, `Skill`,
//! `Sandbox`) carry a boxed `std::error::Error` trait object so this crate
//! never has to depend on `kernex-providers`, `kernex-memory`, etc. — that
//! would create a dependency cycle since those crates depend on
//! `kernex-core`. Each per-crate crate provides its own typed `thiserror`
//! enum (`ProviderError`, `MemoryError`, …) and an
//! `impl From<TheirError> for KernexError` that boxes the typed error.
//!
//! Callers wanting to recover the typed cause use `downcast_ref::<T>()`:
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! # use kernex_core::error::KernexError;
//! # let err: KernexError = todo!();
//! match &err {
//!     KernexError::Provider(boxed) => {
//!         // if let Some(p) = boxed.downcast_ref::<kernex_providers::ProviderError>() {
//!         //     match p { /* typed variants */ }
//!         // }
//!     }
//!     _ => {}
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This is the same boxed-trait-object pattern used by `tower::Service`
//! middleware and recommended by the Rust API Guidelines (C-GOOD-ERR).

/// A boxed, type-erased error trait object satisfying the bounds Rust's
/// async ecosystem expects (`Send + Sync + 'static`). Used as the inner
/// payload for the cross-crate `KernexError` variants so this crate stays
/// free of `kernex-providers` / `kernex-memory` / etc. dependencies.
