//! Bidirectional length-delimited unix-socket channel.

//! Implements the master ↔ worker / master ↔ CLI message channel: each
//! payload is preceded by a native `usize` length prefix (NOT a NUL
//! separator — that scheme belongs to the state-file save format in
//! `command/src/state.rs:1613`-`1630`). Bounded by the per-channel
//! `max_buffer_size` (`channel.rs:71`) checked before payload allocation.
