//! Cancellation and deadline propagation — equivalent to Go's `context` package.
//!
//! ## Quick start
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use go_lib::context;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! #[go_lib::main]
//! fn main() {
//!     // Root context — never cancels on its own.
//!     let bg = context::background();
//!
//!     // Child with explicit cancel.
//!     let (ctx, cancel) = context::with_cancel(&bg);
//!
//!     go_lib::go!(move || {
//!         // Worker loops until the context is done.
//!         loop {
//!             go_lib::select! {
//!                 recv(ctx.done()) -> _v => { break }
//!                 default => { /* do work */ go_lib::gosched(); }
//!             }
//!         }
//!     });
//!
//!     go_lib::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
//!     cancel.cancel(); // signal the worker to stop
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Design
//!
//! Each `Context` is a thin `Arc` wrapper around a `ContextInner` that holds:
//!
//! - An optional `deadline: Instant`.
//! - A `done` channel (`Receiver<()>`) that fires (returns `None`) when the
//!   context is cancelled or its deadline elapses.
//! - A `children` list so cancellation propagates from parent to child.
//!
//! Cancellation closes the done channel by dropping its internal `Sender<()>`.
//! Closed channels return `None` from `recv()`, which fires any `select!` arm
//! that waits on them — the standard Go done-channel idiom.
//!
//! ## Requirements
//!
//! `with_deadline` / `with_timeout` spawn a timer goroutine and therefore
//! require the go-lib scheduler to be running (i.e. called from inside a
//! `#[go_lib::main]` entry point).  `background()` and `with_cancel()` are
//! safe to call from anywhere.
