blueprint.rs

//! Blueprint runner — glue that executes a flow.ir AST
//! (`mlua_flow_ir::Node`) through the engine. Each `Step.ref` is run as a
//! single task via `start_task` + `dispatch_attempt_with`, and the
//! resulting `Pass` `Value` is written back to `Step.out`.
//!
//! **Fully-async chain.** Uses `mlua_flow_ir::eval_async` and
//! `AsyncDispatcher`; `block_on` and `spawn_blocking` are never mixed in,
//! so the whole stack stays consistent with the engine's tokio async
//! world.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! ```ignore
//! let dispatcher = EngineDispatcher::with_spawner(engine.clone(), op_token, spawner);
//! let bp: mlua_flow_ir::Node = serde_json::from_str(BP_JSON)?;
//! let final_ctx = mlua_flow_ir::eval_async(&bp, init_ctx, &dispatcher).await?;
//! ```
//!
//! # Schema types (the IF crate)
//!
//! `Blueprint` / `AgentDef` / `AgentKind` and friends live in the
//! `mlua_swarm_schema` crate and are re-exported from here.
//! The `struct`/`enum` set that used to live directly in `src/blueprint.rs`
//! has been moved into the IF crate to support extension discipline,
//! versioning, and external consumers.
