webio 0.5.0-alpha

//! # WebIO 🦅
//! 
//! A minimalist, high-performance web framework for Rust built with a **zero-dependency philosophy**.
//! By utilizing only the Rust Standard Library (`std`), WebIO achieves an ultra-light footprint, 
//! lightning-fast compilation, and a transparent security audit trail.
//! 
//! ## 🔬 The Rationale: WebIO vs. External Runtimes (Tokio/Hyper)
//! 
//! Most modern Rust web frameworks (like Axum or Actix) are built on top of **Tokio**, 
//! a high-performance asynchronous event-loop. While excellent for handling millions 
//! of *idle* connections (like a chat app), Tokio faces a "Cooperative Scheduling" 
//! challenge in **Data Science** and **Computational** environments.
//! 
//! ### 🧠 The "Event Loop Freeze" Problem
//! In a traditional async runtime, tasks must "yield" voluntarily to the executor. If a 
//! single request performs a heavy 10-second mathematical calculation—such as a 
//! regression model, matrix inversion, or a large CSV parse—the **entire event loop 
//! thread is blocked**. This creates a "Stop-the-World" scenario where one heavy 
//! CPU task freezes the responses for all other users on that executor.
//! 
//! ### 🚀 The WebIO Solution: Go-Inspired OS Pre-emption
//! WebIO is engineered as a specialized core engine for projects like **Fluxor**, 
//! where mathematical precision and memory predictability are the highest priority. 
//! 
//! **WebIO mimics the Go concurrency model** by spawning a unique OS thread for every 
//! incoming connection. This ensures non-blocking I/O and high efficiency for both 
//! small JSON/HTML responses and large "Big Data" streaming uploads.
//! 
//! * **The Safety Distinction:** While WebIO adopts the task-per-request strategy 
//!   found in Go, it enforces **Rust’s Ownership Model**. This provides the 
//!   concurrency simplicity of Go without the unpredictable latency of a 
//!   Garbage Collector (GC). Deterministic memory management ensures no 
//!   "GC pauses" occur during heavy mathematical calculations.
//! * **OS-Level Isolation:** Utilizing **OS Threads** managed by the Kernel 
//!   achieves pre-emptive multitasking. If one handler is 100% occupied by 
//!   heavy math on Core 1, the OS automatically ensures other threads remain 
//!   responsive on other cores. This architecture eliminates the risk of 
//!   "blocking the loop."
//! * **Safe-Turbo Bridge:** While WebIO uses OS threads for isolation, a 
//!   specialized **`block_on`** executor allows the use of `async` logic 
//!   (like calling an external API or database) inside threads without 
//!   the bloat of a massive dependency tree.
//! * **Zero-RAM Big Data:** Raw `TcpStream` access enables moving 100GB+ 
//!   datasets directly from the socket to disk in 64KB chunks. This 
//!   bypasses the 10MB RAM safety guard, ensuring the engine remains 
//!   stable under massive data ingestion.
//!
//! ## 🛠️ Performance Architecture
//! * **Hybrid Spin-Wait Strategy:** The `block_on` executor uses a 
//!   150k-cycle spin-loop to catch I/O ready states in nanoseconds, 
//!   maintaining sub-millisecond tail latency by bypassing OS scheduler 
//!   jitter for "hot" tasks.
//! * **Smart RAM Cache:** Transparently caches hot assets (<500KB) 
//!   using an `RwLock` to provide **~50µs** RAM-speed delivery for 
//!   CSS/JS/JSON, while large files stream safely from the Disk.
//! * **Zero-Dependency Integrity:** By strictly avoiding external crates, 
//!   WebIO is immune to "supply chain attacks" and remains a pure, 
//!   high-performance core for Computing Science and Mathematical applications.
//! * **Nagle Control:** Granular builder-pattern control over TCP 
//!   throughput vs. latency (set_nagle) optimizes for either 
//!   real-time APIs or massive data syncs.

// --- STREAMING ARCHITECTURE ---

/// A specialized trait for asynchronous data delivery, optimized for zero-copy 
/// and low-memory footprints in High-Integrity Computing environments.
/// 
/// `BodyStream` is the core mechanism that allows WebIO to serve multi-gigabyte 
/// datasets (e.g., large CSVs, models, or video streams) while maintaining a 
/// constant, predictable RAM overhead. By breaking payloads into discrete 
/// chunks, the engine avoids the "RAM Spike" common in traditional frameworks 
/// that buffer entire responses before transmission.
pub trait BodyStream: Send {
    /// Retrieves the next available data fragment for the HTTP/1.1 Chunked 
    /// Transfer Encoding lifecycle. 
    /// 
    /// * **Returns `Some(Vec<u8>)`:** Indicates a valid data chunk is ready to 
    ///   be written to the socket.
    /// * **Returns `None`:** Indicates the stream is exhausted, signaling 
    ///   the engine to send the final 0-length termination chunk.
    fn next_chunk(&mut self) -> Option<Vec<u8>>; 
}

/// A standard implementation for static, in-memory payloads.

/// Utilizing `std::mem::take`, it ensures that the data is moved efficiently 
/// to the network writer without redundant heap allocations.

    ///
    /// ### Performance Architecture:
    /// * **Syscall Minimization:** Utilizes a high-capacity (64KB) `BufWriter` to 
    ///   batch headers and initial data fragments. This minimizes the "Context Switch Tax" 
    ///   between user-space and the OS kernel, frequently enabling **50µs - 150µs** 
    ///   response times in local environments.
    /// * **Memory Safety:** By iterating through the `BodyStream` trait, the engine 
    ///   moves data in discrete chunks, preventing the allocation of massive byte 
    ///   vectors on the heap and ensuring a stable RAM profile regardless of file size.
    /// * **Low-Latency Finalization:** Employs `TCP_NODELAY` (when configured) to 
    ///   bypass Nagle's algorithm, ensuring that small metadata headers are transmitted 
    ///   instantly rather than being buffered by the network stack.
    /// * **Zero-Copy Serialization:** Response headers are pushed directly into the 
    ///   buffered writer, reducing intermediate string allocations during the 
    ///   serialization lifecycle.
    ///
    /// ### Diagnostic & Telemetry:
    /// Upon completion, the method triggers high-resolution telemetry logging, 
    /// capturing the precise duration from the initial `TcpStream` acceptance 
    /// to the final byte flush. Immediate socket shutdown follows to prevent 
    /// "hanging" connections and optimize resource reclamation.

// --- THE SAFE-TURBO EXECUTOR ---

/// Drives a [`Future`] to completion by blocking the current OS thread.
///
/// As a high-performance, zero-dependency blocking executor, `block_on` (formerly `launch`)
/// serves as the primary entry point for bridging the synchronous world of OS threads
/// into the asynchronous logic of WebIO. It is engineered to maintain ultra-low-latency 
/// performance, frequently achieving response times in the **70µs - 400µs** range.
///
/// ### Hybrid Spin-Wait Strategy:
/// To maintain **sub-100µs** response times essential for Data Science and Big Data 
/// throughput, the executor employs a two-phase polling strategy:
/// 
/// 1. **Spin-Phase (150,000 cycles):** Utilizes [`std::hint::spin_loop()`] to stay 
///    "on-core." This bypasses OS scheduler latency by catching I/O ready states in 
///    nanoseconds, ensuring the CPU remains dedicated to the task during brief stalls.
/// 2. **Yield-Phase:** If the future remains `Pending` after the spin budget, the 
///    executor calls [`std::thread::yield_now()`]. This prevents 100% CPU starvation 
///    during long-running stalls, allowing the Kernel to rebalance thread priorities.
///
/// ### Evolution: From Unsafe to Safe-Turbo:
/// Originally utilizing `unsafe` blocks for stack pinning and `RawWakerVTable` 
/// construction, the current implementation leverages modern, zero-cost abstractions 
/// from the Rust Standard Library:
/// - **Modern Wakers:** Employs [`Waker::noop()`] (Rust 1.77+), the most efficient 
///   possible "do-nothing" waker available.
/// - **Pinned Stability:** Uses [`std::pin::pin!`] to satisfy the pinning contract 
///   entirely within the safe-type system, eliminating Undefined Behavior (UB).
///
/// ### Zero-Dependency Philosophy:
/// By strictly utilizing `std` primitives, WebIO avoids the heavy binary footprint 
/// and complex task-stealing overhead of external runtimes like Tokio, making it 
/// ideal for high-integrity **Computational Science** microservices.
