recorder.rs

1//! `--record` / `--replay` support.
2//!
3//! The Elm/MVU architecture makes deterministic replay nearly free:
4//! if you capture every `Msg` the reducer sees, you can reconstruct
5//! the exact final `State` by folding over that log. This module
6//! implements both sides.
7//!
8//! Wire format: one JSON object per line (JSONL). Each object is
9//! `{ts, kind, body}`:
10//!   - `ts`: RFC3339 timestamp (for debugging, not replay).
11//!   - `kind`: `MsgKind` variant tag (matches `Msg::kind().into()`).
12//!   - `body`: best-effort structured payload from `record_msg_body`.
13//!
14//! Not every `Msg` field is safely serializable today — raw image
15//! bytes in `Paste::Image`, for example. Unsupported payloads are
16//! marked with `"recordable": false` and compact metadata. Replay is
17//! a best-effort reconstruction.
18//!
19//! For C6 this ships the on-disk shape + a `Recorder` type that
20//! writes; replay reading is available but opt-in (serialize
21//! support is wired on a subset of Msg variants that don't carry
22//! binary payloads). C9 rounds out coverage with the parity
23//! harness.
