//! Structurally-enforced fast-bind contract for v2 brokered daemons (#497).
//!
//! ## Why
//!
//! The v1 launcher (`BackendLauncher::probe_with_service`) requires the
//! spawned daemon to answer an IPC probe within
//! `DEFAULT_ENDPOINT_PROBE_TIMEOUT` (~500 ms) after spawn. That budget is
//! hard-coded in the launcher; nothing in the type system prevents a
//! daemon implementer from doing 3 s of state loading inside its
//! bootstrap before the IPC endpoint becomes probe-able. zccache#640
//! and zccache#784 fix this consumer-side; #497 lifts the invariant
//! into a broker-owned contract so future brokered services (fbuild
//! daemon, soldr cache-daemon) cannot silently regress.
//!
//! ## Shape (Option A from #497)
//!
//! ```text
//! bind(&endpoint) -> IpcListener        // SYNC, microseconds, no state access
//!     |
//!     v
//! write_lock_file                       // broker-orchestrated
//!     |
//!     v
//! serve(listener) -> !                  // free to spawn_blocking, take 30s warming
//! ```
//!
//! `bind` has no access to `State` — the daemon physically cannot do
//! disk I/O before the endpoint is up. The fast-bind property becomes
//! a compile-time consequence of the trait shape.
//!
//! Option B (broker-owned bind via inherited file descriptors / named-
//! pipe handles) is a strictly stronger refinement deferred to a
//! follow-up; this slice lands Option A as the minimum viable trait
//! shape so downstream conformance tests + daemon migrations have a
//! stable target.
