// owner: d1-platform-core

//! The host locks: one keeps a second agent from reconciling the same policies,
//! one serialises runtime creation, and one serialises rotating credentials
//! across a background service and foreground tools.
//!
//! `03-control-flows.md`, flow 3.1: *"A single-instance lock prevents two
//! agents on one host from reconciling the same policy."* Flow 2.4: the agent
//! *"takes the host-wide allocation lock before creating each local runtime"*.
//! `07-security.md`'s threat table names the single-instance lock as one of the
//! four controls on *"API replay or a duplicate agent creates too many
//! runners"*.
//!
//! # Why an operating-system file lock, and not a PID file
//!
//! The requirement that decides the mechanism is *"released on crash rather
//! than leaking"*. A PID file cannot do that: a process that is `SIGKILL`ed, or
//! whose machine loses power, leaves the file behind, and every recovery
//! strategy built on top — is that PID still alive? was it reused? — is
//! guesswork that fails exactly when it matters. An operating-system file lock
//! is released by the kernel when the holding process ends, for *any* reason,
//! with no cooperation from the process and nothing left to clean up.
//!
//! Two mechanisms, one behaviour:
//!
//! - **Windows** opens the file for read and write while sharing only read
//!   access. A second acquirer asks for write access as well, which the
//!   holder's share mode denies, and gets `ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION`. A
//!   *reader* asks only for read access, which the share mode permits — which
//!   is what lets the loser find out who beat it.
//! - **Unix** takes `flock(LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB)`. `flock` is advisory and does
//!   not stand in the way of an ordinary `open` for reading, so the loser can
//!   read the holder record there too. Locks are held per open file
//!   description, so a second acquisition from the *same* process is refused as
//!   firmly as one from another process.
//!
//! # The lock file is never deleted
//!
//! Not on release, not on a clean shutdown, not by `Drop`. On Unix a lock is a
//! property of the inode, so a holder that unlinks the file lets the next
//! acquirer create and lock a *different* inode — after which two processes
//! each hold "the lock" and neither can see the other. Leaving a zero-cost
//! empty file behind is the whole price of not having that bug.
//!
//! # What "host-wide" means, precisely
//!
//! The lock is a file under [`crate::paths::AppPaths::state_dir`], as
//! `05-infrastructure.md` specifies (*"state/ agent lock"*). Two agents
//! contend if and only if they resolve the same state directory — which is what
//! makes the lock host-wide for every configuration this product supports, and
//! is worth stating rather than assuming: the platform-standard state directory
//! is per-account on all three operating systems, so a daemon running as a
//! service account and an interactive `daemon run` by a logged-in operator
//! resolve *different* paths and would not contend. That is why
//! `05-infrastructure.md` requires `service install` to record its resolved
//! configuration and why `service status` reports it. A future host-wide
//! machine lock (`%ProgramData%`, `/var/lock`) would need the installer to
//! create it with the right ownership, which is `d3`'s territory, not this
//! module's.
