1//! RFC-018 Stage A — backend capability discovery surface.
2//!
3//! Consumers of `Arc<dyn EngineBackend>` (and HTTP clients hitting
4//! `ff-server`) historically had no typed way to ask "what can this
5//! backend actually do?" before dispatching — they discovered
6//! capability gaps empirically, by trying a trait method and catching
7//! [`crate::engine_error::EngineError::Unavailable`]. This module
8//! adds a first-class discovery primitive: a [`Supports`] flat-bool
9//! struct, a [`BackendIdentity`] tuple, and a [`Capabilities`]
10//! container that [`crate::engine_backend::EngineBackend`] exposes
11//! via `capabilities()`.
12//!
13//! Stage A (this module) is additive: the trait method has a default
14//! impl that returns a `Capabilities` tagged `family = "unknown"` with
15//! every `supports.*` bool `false`, so out-of-tree backends keep
16//! compiling. Concrete in-tree backends (`ValkeyBackend`,
17//! `PostgresBackend`) override to report real caps.
18//!
19//! **Shape history.** v0.9 shipped a `BTreeMap<Capability,
20//! CapabilityStatus>` map; v0.10 reshaped to the flat [`Supports`]
21//! struct below per cairn's original #277 ask (flat named-field
22//! dot-access, no enum + no map lookup). `Partial`-status nuance
23//! (e.g. non-durable cursor on Valkey `subscribe_completion`) now
24//! lives in rustdoc on the trait method and
25//! `docs/POSTGRES_PARITY_MATRIX.md`; the flat bool answers "is this
26//! callable at all."
27//!
28//! Stages B + C (follow-up PRs) derive `docs/POSTGRES_PARITY_MATRIX.md`
29//! from the runtime value and expose `GET /v1/capabilities` on
30//! `ff-server`.
31//!
32//! See `rfcs/RFC-018-backend-capability-discovery.md` for the full
33//! design, the four owner-adjudicated open questions, and the
34//! Alternatives-considered record.
35
36/// Per-capability boolean support surface. Flat named-field shape so
37/// consumers can dot-access (e.g. `caps.supports.cancel_execution`)
38/// instead of map lookup. `#[non_exhaustive]` protects future
39/// additions from source-breaking consumers; construct via
40/// [`Supports::none`] or by returning one from
41/// [`crate::engine_backend::EngineBackend::capabilities`].
42///
43/// # Grouping policy
44///
45/// One bool per operator-visible HTTP surface; admin-only surfaces
46/// with many sibling methods roll up to a single bool (e.g.
47/// [`Self::budget_admin`] covers `create_budget` / `report_usage` /
48/// `reset_budget` / `get_budget_status` / `report_usage_admin`;
49/// [`Self::quota_admin`] covers `create_quota_policy`). Cairn's
50/// operator UI grey-renders at the group level; fine-grained
51/// pre-dispatch checks still use
52/// [`crate::engine_error::EngineError::Unavailable`].
53///
54/// # Field order
55///
56/// Per cairn #277 "in the same order as the parity matrix so cairn
57/// can consume by copy-paste." Keep in sync with
58/// `docs/POSTGRES_PARITY_MATRIX.md`.
