//! Real TCP transport for the remote SDK.
//!
//! Unlike [`ProtocolRemoteTransport`](super::protocol::ProtocolRemoteTransport),
//! which only exercises the SDK's framing in-process, this transport opens a real
//! `TcpStream` to a running `liminal-server`, performs the protocol handshake, and
//! exchanges canonical wire frames over the socket.
//!
//! # Blocking model
//!
//! The SDK API surface is synchronous: [`RemoteTransport`] methods return plain
//! `Result` values, and the rest of the SDK (connection pool, lifecycle) is
//! driven by ordinary blocking calls. This transport therefore uses
//! `std::net::TcpStream` in blocking mode with explicit read/write timeouts; it
//! does not introduce an async runtime. Each transport call holds a short-lived
//! connection lock for the duration of one request/response exchange.
