//! Client-side background reader for server-initiated pushes.
//!
//! Every other SDK transport call is request/response: the client writes a frame
//! and reads exactly one reply to its own request ([`Connection::round_trip`]). A
//! server PUSH inverts that — the server writes a [`Frame::Push`] on the client's
//! existing connection at a time of the server's choosing, with no outstanding
//! client request to read it. [`PushClient`] is the piece that consumes those
//! inbound frames: it owns a connection whose socket is drained by a dedicated
//! background reader thread, surfaces each pushed frame on a channel, and lets the
//! caller send back a correlated [`Frame::PushReply`] on the same socket.
//!
//! # Read/write split
//!
//! A push connection is read concurrently (the background thread blocks on the
//! socket) and written concurrently (the caller replies). `TcpStream` is cloned so
//! the reader thread owns one handle and the writer holds the other behind a
//! `Mutex`; the two handles share the same underlying socket, so a reply written
//! by the caller travels the connection the server is pushing on. This keeps the
//! request/reply [`Connection`] (which couples a single read to a single write)
//! completely untouched — the push path is additive, not a rewrite.
