notifier.rs

1//! Connection-keyed notifier hook for worker registration lifecycle.
2//!
3//! This is the application seam for self-describing worker registration. When a
4//! worker sends a [`Frame::WorkerRegister`](liminal::protocol::Frame) over its
5//! established connection, the server associates the registration with the
6//! connection's beamr process id and invokes the configured
7//! [`ConnectionNotifier`]; on connection close it invokes the matching
8//! deregistration. The notifier is connection-keyed (by pid), which is distinct
9//! from the subject-keyed responder registry in [`super::services`].
10//!
11//! Keeping the hook a `liminal-server` trait — rather than a liminal-core
12//! concern — preserves liminal's generality: liminal still runs standalone with
13//! no notifier configured, and the application (aion, in Stage 2) plugs its
14//! registry in without liminal depending on it.
15//!
16//! The same trait carries the presence seam for pass-stamped connections: a
17//! connection whose `Connect` verified a registry pass (a browser or agent
18//! seat, which sends no `WorkerRegister`) announces itself once on attach and
19//! once on detach through [`ConnectionNotifier::on_pass_attached`] and
20//! [`ConnectionNotifier::on_pass_detached`], so an application derives
21//! presence from those two events and never polls for it.

31/// Implementations associate the connection's beamr process id (`pid`) with the

34/// registration is acknowledged to the worker only after
35/// [`on_worker_registered`](Self::on_worker_registered) returns, so a rejecting
36/// application surfaces a `Rejected` ack instead of leaving the worker silently
