//! HTTP `/v1/worker/*` endpoints (SubAgent self-fetch path).
//!
//! # 7-Entry pointer #6 (Output Event design)
//!
//! **This endpoint accesses `OutputStore` directly and does NOT go through the engine.**
//! It is one of the seven entry points enumerated in project `CLAUDE.md` §"Output Event
//! Design SoT". For the canonical description, see the crate root doc of
//! `mlua-swarm-output-store` (`cargo doc -p mlua-swarm-output-store`).
//!
//! # Path
//!
//! A thin-payload path where a SubAgent (= worker process launched by a MainAI) uses
//! the capability token it received via WS Spawn to self-fetch its prompt and
//! submit its result — putting the token in `Authorization: Bearer <encoded CapToken>`.
//!
//! ## Routes
//!
//! - `GET /v1/worker/prompt?task_id=<tid>` — via `engine.fetch_worker_payload`,
//!   returns `{task_id, attempt, agent, system?, prompt, context?}`.
//!   `context.steps` (`projection-adapter` ST5, [`assemble_step_pointers`])
//!   is assembled fresh on every fetch: a `ContextPolicy.steps`-filtered
//!   pointer list to preceding steps' OUTPUT, resolved through
//!   `crate::projection::McpQueryAdapter`'s Data-plane + `result_ref`
//!   enumeration — no separate MCP tool call needed to discover a prior
//!   step's OUTPUT.
//! - `POST /v1/worker/result` with body `{task_id, value, ok}` — appends one `Final`
//!   to the output tail via `engine.submit_output(Final)` (= the canonical path
//!   through which the dispatch layer decides Pass/Blocked) and updates
//!   `task.last_result` via `engine.post_result`.
//! - `POST /v1/worker/artifact?name=<name>` (GH #36 ST1) — stages one named
//!   part per POST via `engine.stage_worker_artifact_trusted`. Completing the
//!   attempt is still `POST /v1/worker/submit` / `/v1/worker/result` — this
//!   route only stages; the dispatch layer's Final-pull folds every staged
//!   part into `{"out": <final>, "parts": {<name>: <value>, ...}}`. At
//!   staging time the submit-time projection sink also materializes the part
//!   raw to `<ctx-dir>/<name>` (the IN file the next Agent step reads;
//!   fail-open skip when no `work_dir` / `project_root` resolves).
//! - `GET /v1/worker/prompt/system?task_id=<tid>&attempt=<n>` (GH #31) —
//!   raw baked `system` bytes for `(task_id, attempt)`, the `Http`-mode
//!   fetch target for `system_ref.uri`. Same Bearer flow as
//!   `/v1/worker/prompt`; body is `text/plain`, not JSON.
//! - `GET /v1/agents/:name/render-size` (GH #31) — no Bearer required, same
//!   trust tier as `GET /v1/blueprints/:id/head`. Live per-agent most-recently
//!   observed render size, backing `bp_doctor`'s post-render check.
//! - `POST /v1/worker/degradation` (GH #32) — structured JSON `{tool, error,
//!   fallback, note?}`, same Bearer flow as [`worker_submit`]. An
//!   **independent channel**: entries are appended to `RunRecord.degradations`
//!   via `RunStore::append_degradation` directly and never touch
//!   `OutputStore` / the fold path (Crux invariant 2 — a degradation must
//!   never surface as step OUTPUT). `step_ref` / `attempt` / `at` are
//!   server-injected, never trusted from the client. Silent `204` (no
//!   append) when the dispatch task carries no Run linkage — same
//!   fail-open contract as [`reject_if_run_terminal`]'s own resolution
//!   steps, since a pre-run-tracking dispatch has nowhere to record a
//!   degradation and that must not become a client-visible error.
//!
//! ## Bearer authentication
//!
//! The Bearer value is the string produced by `CapToken::encode()` (= URL-safe
//! base64 of serde_json). The server decodes it with `CapToken::decode` and then,
//! inside the engine, verifies HMAC sig + role × verb gate + TTL via
//! `verify_token_for_task` (= self-contained capability token; no server-side
//! store lookup required).
//!
//! Tokens are minted during the "2) mint outside the lock" phase of
//! `engine.dispatch_attempt` (`Role::Worker`, 600s TTL, `scopes=["*"]`).
//! The verb gate covers `FetchPrompt` / `EmitOutput` / `PostResult` — the worker
//! leaf capability set (`crate::types::WORKER_LEAF_VERBS`).
