mecha-cli 0.1.13

The mecha CLI: an agent harness for local models.
//! Frontdoor requests on the Slack surface: the waiting-queue cards and the
//! close/needs-info modals.
//!
//! One sentence carries this module, the same one that carries
//! `mecha_core::frontdoor`: **the privileged run sees the extraction, never
//! the prose** — and a Slack thread is a model-adjacent surface, not the
//! terminal. Threads become prompts, messages get quoted into runs, and a
//! card is read by whoever the thread is later shared with; so a request card
//! here is built from [`Record::for_privileged_run`], the boundary function
//! with no argument that returns the prose, and never from the record's raw
//! values. The terminal's `mecha frontdoor show` remains the one place a
//! stranger's words are printed, and every card that cannot show something
//! names it.
//!
//! The modals are the confirmation ladder's second rung for these verbs: a
//! close requires a reason and needs-info requires the question (the
//! frontdoor design's rule — silence is the failure this queue exists to
//! fix), and a required free-text field is itself a confirmation, because
//! nobody types a reason by accident. The buttons here open a modal and
//! execute nothing; the typed action is constructed only by
//! [`super::actions::Action::from_submission`], from the gated submission.
