magi-cli 0.19.0

//! The task queue: what magi should do next, and who asked for it.
//!
//! The queue is what lets magi run unattended. `magi serve` takes the next
//! task, runs the graph on it, records the outcome, and takes the next one.
//!
//! It is also the reason an agent can ask for work. `magi task add` is the
//! whole interface, and it is the same command whether a human types it at a
//! prompt, a phone posts it through the web UI, or an implementer inside a run
//! shells out to it because it noticed something worth doing but out of scope.
//! magi's CLI is the operating surface for both kinds of user; the queue is
//! where their intentions meet.
//!
//! One task is one JSON file under [`Queue`]'s root. Files rather than a
//! database because the operator has to be able to read, edit, and delete the
//! backlog with the tools already on the machine, and because a crashed daemon
//! must leave a queue the next one can pick up without recovery ceremony.
//!
//! # Shape
//!
//! [`Task`] is data plus *pure* state transitions - [`Task::fail`] decides
//! whether an attempt was the last one, and touches no disk. [`Queue`] owns all
//! I/O and is constructed with its root, so a test drives a real queue in a
//! temp directory without setting a process-global home. Splitting them this
//! way is why the retry policy below can be asserted directly.
//!
//! # Bounded by construction
//!
//! An autonomous loop that retries forever is a way to spend money on a task
//! that cannot succeed. Every claim increments [`Task::attempts`]; a task that
//! has burned its attempts becomes [`TaskStatus::Held`] and waits for a human
//! rather than for another agent.
