15//! `PluginHandle` — the unified, caller-facing proxy over a loaded plugin.
16//!
17//! A `PluginHandle` is backend-agnostic: callers use the same
18//! `call_method` / `call_method_raw` API whether the plugin is a cdylib, a
19//! Python package, or (Phase 2) a WASM component. The backend lives in the
20//! private [`Backend`] enum.
21//!
22//! ## Why an enum backend (FIDIUS-I-0021)
23//!
24//! The backends don't share a typed wire: cdylib decodes concrete-type
25//! **bincode** (not reconstructable from an erased value) while Python/WASM
26//! consume a self-describing [`fidius_core::Value`]. An enum (rather than
27//! `Box<dyn PluginExecutor>`) lets the generic `call_method<I, O>` branch with
28//! the concrete `I`/`O` in scope and serialise with each backend's native
29//! currency — so the **cdylib path stays byte-identical** to before this
30//! refactor (`bincode(input)` straight to the FFI; `Value` is never involved).
