// owner: a1-wsl-platform-adapter

//! The one Windows login task that keeps a managed WSL distribution alive,
//! and the four operations on it: render, register, query, remove.
//!
//! # What the task promises, and what it does not
//!
//! WSL distributions are registered **per user**, so nothing that runs before
//! a user logs on can start one. The 2026-09-06 review closed exactly this
//! defect: an earlier design promised boot availability that Windows cannot
//! deliver. So this is a `LogonTrigger` task for one named principal, and
//! `02-target-architecture.md` states the consequence in the product's own
//! words — *"unattended Linux availability after that user's logon, not before
//! any interactive logon after a Windows reboot"*.
//!
//! # There is no shell text in the action, at any layer
//!
//! The other half of that review closed a design that composed `systemctl` and
//! a keep-alive through a shell string. The action here is
//!
//! ```text
//! <Command>...\bin\runner-manager-wsl-supervisor.exe</Command>
//! <Arguments>...\bin\runner-manager-wsl.exe wsl-host supervise --distribution Ubuntu ...</Arguments>
//! ```
//!
//! Both paths are **version-independent**. An update swaps the two files in
//! place and leaves the document as it was, so the task never has to be
//! registered again — and registering is the one step that can need
//! administrator rights, because a task created from an elevated prompt keeps
//! an ACL that refuses replacement from an ordinary one. Up to 0.4.34 the
//! paths carried the version, so every update was a new document, a new
//! `/Create`, and an `Access is denied` on every host first set up elevated.
//! [`LifecycleTask::is_registered_as`] is the comparison that lets `wsl
//! install` skip the registration when nothing in the document changed.
//!
//! Task Scheduler has no `Arguments` *vector* — the element is a single string
//! that Windows splits with `CommandLineToArgvW` — so
//! [`LifecycleTask::action_arguments`] builds the vector and
//! [`LifecycleTask::rendered_arguments`] quotes each element with the same
//! function the service installer uses. A distribution called `My Ubuntu` is
//! therefore `"My Ubuntu"` in the document and one argument again on the way
//! out. What is *not* there is a `cmd /c`, a `&&`, a `;`, or anything else a
//! shell would interpret, and `no_shell_text_reaches_the_task_document` is the
//! test that keeps it that way.
//!
//! `wsl-host supervise` is the hidden Windows companion. It starts the
//! Linux-only `wsl-host hold`, restarts that child when the named distribution
//! is recovered, and owns the bounded recovery watchdog. Running in the
//! distribution owner's interactive token is essential: an SCM service under
//! LocalSystem cannot see another account's WSL registrations.
//!
//! # A task this did not create is never touched
//!
//! The name is derived from the distribution, so two workstations agree on it
//! and a re-run updates the task rather than accumulating copies. That same
//! determinism means the name could collide with something an operator made by
//! hand — and on the target workstation there *is* a hand-created task doing
//! this job today (`01-current-architecture.md`). So every mutating operation
//! reads the task back first and refuses unless its description carries
//! [`PRODUCT_MARKER`]. `wsl detach` removing somebody else's keep-alive task
//! would be precisely the destructive behaviour the review renamed the command
//! to avoid.
