compiler.rs

//! Blueprint `Compiler`, `CompiledAgentTable`, and the three default
//! `SpawnerFactory` implementations.
//!
//! ## Pipeline
//!
//! ```text
//! Blueprint (= flow + agents + hints + strategy + spawner_hints)
//!     │
//!     │ Compiler.compile(&bp)          ← this module (AgentDef → SpawnerAdapter table)
//!     ▼
//! CompiledBlueprint {
//!     router: Arc<CompiledAgentTable>, // ctx.agent → SpawnerAdapter lookup
//!     flow:   FlowNode,                // the flow.ir source (evaluated via EngineDispatcher)
//!     metadata: BlueprintMetadata,
//! }
//!     │
//!     │ service::linker::link(router, blueprint.spawner_hints.layers, &engine)
//!     ▼                                   ↑ Layer wrapping is done separately (src/service/linker.rs)
//! `Arc<dyn SpawnerAdapter>`            (already wrapped with base + hint SpawnerLayers)
//!     │
//!     ▼ EngineDispatcher::with_spawner → engine.dispatch_attempt_with
//! ```
//!
//! `CompiledAgentTable` is a thin table: it looks up `routes[name]` by
//! `ctx.agent` and hands the spawn off to the matching `SpawnerAdapter`.
//! The `routes` map is built at compile time through `SpawnerFactory`
//! implementations. Layer wrapping is not part of this module — it lives
//! in `service::linker::link`.

///   `spec.operator_ref`; at `compile()` time the `Arc<dyn Operator>` is
///   baked into `routes[agent_name]`. Because the `agent.md` loader
///   (`agent_md_loader`) defaults `kind` to `Operator`, agents that flow
///   in through external agent.md files land here.
///
/// - **`OperatorDelegateMiddleware` — the Blueprint-global (session)
///   axis.** Delegates every agent to the same Operator backend. At
///   session-attach time you call `engine.register_operator(id, op)`
///   plus `attach_with_ids(.., operator_backend_id = Some(id))` to bind
///   it session-wide, and declare
///   `spawner_hints.layers = ["operator_delegate"]` to opt in. `ctx.agent`
///   is ignored; the operator handles every spawn in that session (a
///   MainAI-wide driver, a human-wide console, that sort of thing).
///
/// # Exclusivity (a double fire is structurally impossible)
///
/// When both are effective — the hint is declared, the session has an
/// operator backend, **and** the Blueprint has a `kind = Operator`
/// `AgentDef` — `OperatorDelegateMiddleware` sits at the outer end of
/// the stack and **completely bypasses** `inner.spawn`. The
/// `OperatorSpawner` is never reached, so under those conditions this
/// factory's routes entry is inert. This is not a double fire — the
/// session axis is overriding the agent axis. Consistent usage means
/// picking one axis per use case.
///
/// # Who answers `spec.operator_ref` — resolver first, registry second
///
/// `spec.operator_ref` names a Blueprint-declared **seat**
/// (`Blueprint.operators[]`), and a seat's holder is per-Run, mutable
/// state. Two ways to answer it:
///
/// - **A [`OperatorSlotResolver`] installed via
///   [`Self::set_slot_resolver`]** — the host hands back an indirection
///   that resolves the seat's *current* holder on every dispatch
///   (`mlua-swarm-server`'s `AssigneeRouter`). What this factory bakes into
///   `routes[agent_name]` is then "the seat", not "the session that held it
///   when the Blueprint compiled" — model §4.3 **A10**. This is the wiring
///   `mse serve` uses.
/// - **This factory's own `id → Arc<dyn Operator>` map** (no resolver
///   installed) — the direct binding used by hosts with no Run store to
///   resolve holders against: `mse bp doctor`'s lint stubs, in-process
///   embeddings, tests.
///
/// The two never mix within one build: an installed resolver that cannot
/// serve a seat fails the compile rather than falling through to the map,
/// because falling through is exactly how a dispatch ends up at a backend
/// the caller never named.
///
/// Interior mutability is provided by `Arc<RwLock>`s. Even after the
/// factory has been stored as `Arc<dyn SpawnerFactory>` in

/// Operator backends dynamically via `register_operator(&self, id, op)` or
