//! Hand-rolled Model Context Protocol (MCP) stdio server for MNemo.
//!
//! Exposes a `.mnemo` file as an MCP server so any MCP-compatible agent
//! (Claude Desktop, Cursor, mcp-server, custom clients) can drive it as a
//! tool. Framed as **JSON-RPC 2.0 with newline-delimited JSON** over
//! stdin/stdout, per the MCP spec. Stderr is used for human-readable
//! diagnostics only — never for protocol traffic.
//!
//! ## Why hand-rolled
//!
//! The official [`rmcp`](https://crates.io/crates/rmcp) SDK declares
//! `edition = "2024"` on its workspace, which requires Rust 1.85+; our
//! MSRV is 1.75 and locked (transitive deps pin us). `rmcp` also brings
//! in tokio + async, a big architectural shift for a sync-only core.
//! Hand-rolling stdio JSON-RPC is ~250 LoC and adds zero dependencies
//! beyond `serde_json` (already a dep). See CHANGELOG's Phase 4 entry
//! for the decision record.
//!
//! ## Protocol version
//!
//! We advertise MCP protocol `2025-06-18` on `initialize`. If a client
//! requests a different version we echo their version back — the standard
//! compatibility dance. The seven tools we expose are stable across
//! recent protocol revisions.
//!
//! ## Tools
//!
//! - `about` — read-only briefing (manifest + onboarding memories)
//! - `remember` — insert a memory (BYO vector; embedder integration deferred to Phase 3)
//! - `recall` — vector recall (BYO query vector)
//! - `forget` — delete by ULID
//! - `list` — enumerate live memories
//! - `snapshot_list` — enumerate PITR snapshots
//! - `stats` — database statistics
//!
//! Every mutation calls `Mnemo::flush()` before returning success — MCP
//! clients treat tool calls as atomic and expect on-disk durability.
//!
//! ## Passphrase
//!
//! Read from the `MNEMO_PASSPHRASE` environment variable only.
//! `serve_stdio` refuses to start without it. There is no CLI-flag
//! fallback here — that would leave the passphrase in shell history
//! and process listings.
