git_policy_cli/landing/service_index_lock.rs
1//! What:
2//! The service's hold on Git's own `index.lock` across a landing: taken first, by exclusive creation, waited for without
3//! polling when another program holds it, and released by moving the new index over the real one.
4//! Why:
5//! Git's own `commit` takes the index lock before it moves the branch and gives it up after the index is written. A landing
6//! that moved the branch first and took the lock afterwards left the index showing content a landed commit had replaced for
7//! as long as a foreign `git` held the lock, and a commit prepared from that index could land a revert. The wait for a
8//! foreign holder is event-driven: an inotify watch on the Git directory wakes the service when the lock itself is removed or
9//! moved away, and the only timer is the repetition of the holder's notice. On
10//! platforms without inotify a held lock fails at once with the plain message. The lock carries a marker with the batch
11//! number and the holding process from the moment it exists until it is removed after the new index is in place, so a
12//! restart can tell its own stale lock from a foreign one wherever the service was killed, and never takes over a lock
13//! whose holder still runs (`doc/planning/cli-git-resident-service.md`, "Landing every command line").
14//! The marker,
15//! the inotify watch,
16//! the placement of the marked file,
17//! and the attempts and the wait
18//! are in `service_index_marker.rs`,
19//! `service_index_watch.rs`,
20//! `service_index_placement.rs`
21//! and `service_index_attempts.rs`,
22//! and are re-exported here under the names callers use.
23//!
24//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
25//! ```ts
26//! const lock = await acquireIndexLock(indexPath, deadline, announce); ... await lock.releaseWith(newIndex);
27//! ```

150/// marker is written once, before the first attempt, so the attempts themselves create and remove nothing in the watched

152/// nothing changed; the clients learn who held the lock.
