facett_core/trace.rs
1//! Structured event trace — the **machine-readable** sibling of
2//! [`harness::trail`](crate::harness::trail).
3//!
4//! `harness::trail` is a human free-form line (`facett ACTION … [RENDER] tiny
5//! size=800x600 → 412 verts`). This is its typed counterpart: every
6//! instrumented operation emits its INPUT parameters and its OUTPUT *data* as
7//! real JSON payloads, so an external agent (or a test matrix) can read back
8//! **exactly the data a facet rendered** — its `state_json`, the vertex proof,
9//! the inputs it was handed — not a summary and not a screenshot.
10//!
11//! Mirrors nornir viz's `$NORNIR_VIZ_TRACE`: one JSON object per line (JSONL) at
12//! `$FACETT_TRACE` (default `/tmp/facett_trace.jsonl`), truncated on launch:
13//!
14//! ```json
15//! {"seq":3,"ts_ms":1733961825678,"stamp":"01:23:45.678",
16//! "span":"facet.render","phase":"in","data":{"title":"graph","size":[800.0,600.0]}}
17//! {"seq":4,...,"span":"facet.render","phase":"out","data":{"title":"graph","vertices":412,"drew":true,"state":{…}}}
18//! ```
19//!
20//! ## The contract
21//! - **span** — the operation name (`facet.render`, and whatever a live facet
22//! emits for its own interactions).
23//! - **phase** — `in` (params accepted), `out` (result produced), `end` (a unit
24//! of work finished), or `event` (a point-in-time fact). Pair an `in` with its
25//! later `out`/`end` of the same `span` by adjacency.
26//! - **data** — the real, structured payload (a `serde_json::Value`, the same
27//! currency as [`Facet::state_json`](crate::Facet::state_json)), so the
28//! consumer parses fields rather than scraping a formatted string.
29//!
30//! Dependency-free, like the rest of `harness`: the stamp comes from
31//! `SystemTime` (no chrono) and the payload is a `serde_json::Value` (no
32//! serde-derive). Cheap: a `Mutex<File>` `writeln!` + a global atomic seq. Call
33//! sites emit on edge-triggered events only, never per-frame.
