//! # Monitor
//!
//! Provides a synchronous monitor built from a mutex and a condition variable.
//! A monitor protects one shared state value and binds that state to the
//! condition variable used to wait for changes. This is the same low-level
//! mechanism as using [`std::sync::Mutex`] and [`std::sync::Condvar`] directly,
//! but packaged so callers do not have to keep a mutex and its matching
//! condition variable as separate fields.
//!
//! The high-level APIs ([`Monitor::read`], [`Monitor::write`],
//! [`Monitor::wait_while`], and [`Monitor::wait_until`]) are intended for
//! short critical sections and simple guarded-suspension flows. The lower-level
//! [`Monitor::lock`] API returns a [`MonitorGuard`], which supports
//! [`MonitorGuard::wait`] and [`MonitorGuard::wait_timeout`] for more complex
//! state machines such as thread pools.

/// Shared state protected by a mutex and a condition variable.
///
/// `Monitor` is useful when callers need more than a short critical section.
/// It models the classic monitor object pattern: one mutex protects the state,
/// and one condition variable lets threads wait until that state changes. This
/// is the same relationship used by `std::sync::Mutex` and
/// `std::sync::Condvar`, but represented as one object so the condition
/// variable is not accidentally used with unrelated state.
///
/// `Monitor` deliberately has two levels of API:
///
/// * `read` and `write` acquire the mutex, run a closure, and release it.
/// * `wait_while`, `wait_until`, and their timeout variants implement common
///   predicate-based waits.
/// * `lock` returns a [`MonitorGuard`] for callers that need to write their own
///   loop around [`MonitorGuard::wait`] or [`MonitorGuard::wait_timeout`].
///
/// A poisoned mutex is recovered by taking the inner state. This makes
/// `Monitor` suitable for coordination state that should remain observable
/// after another thread panics while holding the lock.
///
/// # Difference from `Mutex` and `Condvar`
///
/// With the standard library primitives, callers usually store two fields and
/// manually keep them paired:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use std::sync::{Condvar, Mutex};
/// # struct State;
/// struct Shared {
///     state: Mutex<State>,
///     changed: Condvar,
/// }
/// ```
///
/// `Monitor<State>` stores the same pair internally. A [`MonitorGuard`] is a
/// wrapper around the standard library's `MutexGuard`; it keeps the protected
/// state locked and knows which monitor it belongs to, so its wait methods use
/// the matching condition variable.
///
/// # Type Parameters
///
/// * `T` - The state protected by this monitor.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust
/// use std::thread;
///
/// use qubit_lock::lock::ArcMonitor;
///
/// let monitor = ArcMonitor::new(false);
/// let waiter_monitor = monitor.clone();
///
/// let waiter = thread::spawn(move || {
///     waiter_monitor.wait_until(
///         |ready| *ready,

///     *ready = true;
