//! JSON-RPC frame understanding for the MCP observe channel (GL#101).
//!
//! The reverse proxy (`mcp::proxy`) does not shovel opaque bytes: it reads the
//! request frame (which method? which tool?) and the response frame (result or
//! error? how big?) so metering and the tool inventory get real semantics.
//!
//! Everything here is **total**: malformed input yields `None`/fallbacks,
//! never a panic — a broken client frame must pass through unharmed (observe
//! never blocks) and simply produces a generic event.
//!
//! Determinism (#498): token/byte figures are computed over the *canonical*
//! JSON form (recursively key-sorted, compact separators), so the same result
//! payload always yields the same numbers regardless of upstream key order.
