kaish_tool_api/backend.rs
1//! The `KernelBackend` trait — kaish's abstract I/O and tool-dispatch layer.
2//!
3//! The trait lives here (not in `kaish-types`) because it is async and refers
4//! to [`ToolCtx`](crate::ToolCtx). Its data types (errors, results, ops) and
5//! the concrete implementations (`LocalBackend`, overlay, …) live elsewhere —
6//! the data in `kaish-types::backend`, the impls in `kaish-kernel`.

19/// Abstract backend interface for file operations and tool dispatch.
20///
21/// Implementations select where a path resolves and how tools are dispatched:
22/// - `LocalBackend` — VfsRouter-backed local filesystem (the default).
23/// - `KaijutsuBackend` — CRDT-backed blocks when embedded in kaijutsu.
