route_outlet.rs

//! Hosts one navigator's routes as mounted, identity-tagged content.
//!
//! [`RouteOutlet`] is the production seam between a navigation stack and a
//! window tree: it composes every mounted route's content per an explicit
//! [`OutletPlacement`] policy, drives focus save/restore/forget and route
//! task bindings from live navigator state, and derives element ownership
//! from the mounted tags — applications never maintain element-id oracles.
//!
//! Drive contract: mount [`RouteOutlet::widget`] in the window tree,
//! attach once with [`RouteOutlet::attach`], then drive every cycle with
//! the single [`RouteOutlet::present_frame`] operation — rebuild, frame,
//! and reconcile in enforced order, with tree-wide validation before and
//! after the frame. Covered routes without retention unmount (disposal);
//! retained ones stay mounted inert while invisible; only permanent
//! removal ends lifetimes.
//!
//! Frame contract: a frame runs build, layout, composite, semantics, then
//! paint, so restoration — which reconciles after the frame returns —
//! cannot make that same frame's paint or semantics. The restore applies
//! to the focus slot synchronously and flags follow-up work through the
//! existing scheduler (`set_focus` marks another frame); the next frame
//! then finalizes styling, semantics, and keyboard dispatch from restored
//! focus. No unconditional extra frame runs: follow-up is flagged when
//! reconciliation changed focus, or when the presented output is older
//! than live navigation (mid-build navigation flags exactly once per
//! revision, nested staleness wakes the root driver, and quiet frames
//! flag nothing). Errors schedule no follow-up at all, so rejected
//! stacks cannot spin a retry loop. Deferred content converges through
//! its own invalidation afterwards.
//!
//! Driving states (derived from the retained fields, not tracked
//! separately — `pending`, `consumed` vs live revision, `needs_frame`,
//! and the per-revision schedule memo):
//!
//! | Situation | pending | consumed | needs_frame | scheduled | exit |
//! | Unattached, empty | none | none | false | — | navigate → stale |
//! | Unattached, routes live | per capture | older/none | true | on success | attach → attached |
//! | Attached, idle | none | current | false | — | navigate → pending |
//! | Attempt pending | some | just composed | false, true after mid-frame nav | — | commit → consumed; stale → follow-up |
//! | Failed (error/panic) | kept | older | true | reset, re-evaluates | retry → pending/consumed |
//! | Successful-but-stale | recaptured/none | older | true | once per rev | follow-up → consumed |
//! | Detached | kept (own) | frozen | own tree only | own claims | reattach or drive standalone |
