mecha-core 0.1.3

//! Inter-agent messages: a file-based mailbox between mecha sessions.
//!
//! One agent (or the user, via `mecha msg send`) leaves a short text for
//! another; the recipient's run claims it at the top of a turn and folds it
//! into the same user message that carries the tool results — the identical
//! fold point as steering, because it is the same problem: there is no legal
//! slot between a `tool_use` and its result, and two user messages in a row
//! are invalid. A recipient with no live run loses nothing; the message waits
//! in the store until its producer next runs. The store is the truth and
//! polling is the transport — no sockets, no daemon, no watchers, matching
//! how every other cross-process seam in this project works.
//!
//! **Taint travels with the message.** A message is a laundering point: the
//! receiving conversation's interlock never saw what the sender read. So the
//! harness — never the model — stamps the sender's conversation taint onto
//! every message, and delivery merges it into the receiver's conversation
//! before the text lands. A tainted overnight run can still report to `chat`;
//! the morning session then treats external sends exactly as if it had read
//! the hostile page itself. Design and decisions: `docs/MESSAGING-RESEARCH.md`.
//!
//! What a message can never do, structurally: it is not the user. It cannot
//! approve an approver prompt (the approver never reads mail), cannot change
//! config, and arrives labelled as another agent's words. The receiver's own
//! permissions, hooks, outbox route and interlock govern everything it
//! provokes.
//!
//! Storage follows the outbox's rules: one pretty-printed JSON file per
//! message under `~/.mecha/messages/<recipient>/`, temp-sibling-and-rename
//! for every write, owner-only directories, an advisory flock per recipient.
//! One deliberate divergence: **sending takes the recipient's lock** where
//! outbox staging takes none, because the cap and duplicate checks are a
//! read-modify-write. The lock is held across a directory scan measured in
//! microseconds, never across an editor or a human, so the never-block-the-
//! agent rationale survives. A malformed message file is quarantined (renamed
//! `.bad`) rather than allowed to wedge the mailbox — one bad entry blocking
//! all delivery is a failure mode Claude Code shipped and had to fix.
