//! What:
//!  The messages between the wrapper and the resident commit service, one JSON object per line.
//! Why:
//!  A client sends a prepared change with a request identity and waits; the service answers with a landing, a queue
//!  position, a request to prepare again, or a failure from a closed list. The line form needs no framing library and
//!  every field is checked on read, so a damaged or hostile line is refused rather than guessed
//!  (`doc/planning/cli-git-resident-service.md`, "Protocol and request identity").
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! socket.write(JSON.stringify(encodeRequest(request)) + '\n'); const reply = decodeResponse(await readLine(socket));
//! ```
