12/// Marker trait for a request (command or query) carrying a structured response `TResponse`.
13///
14/// The HTTP adapter serializes `TResponse` as JSON, so it must implement
15/// [`serde::Serialize`] — unless it is [`crate::route::scan::ResponseData`],
16/// the raw-response envelope used for file downloads and other responses that
17/// control their own status, headers and body. That is why this trait itself
18/// only requires `Send`: the `Serialize` bound is enforced where the value is
19/// actually serialized.
20///
21/// - `TResponse: Serialize` → framework writes JSON and sets status 200
22/// - `TResponse = ()` → framework writes no body and sets status 204
23/// - `TResponse = ResponseData` → the handler builds the whole response
24///

26/// impl IRequest<UserModel> for GetUserRequest {}

36/// Marker trait for an event (notification) that does not produce a response.
37///
38/// Use `IEventRequest` for fire-and-forget notifications.
39///
40/// ```ignore
41/// impl IEventRequest for UserCreatedEvent {}
42/// ```
43pub trait IEventRequest: Clone + Send + 'static {}

45/// The mediator dispatches requests to their handlers and publishes events
46/// to all registered handlers.
47///
48/// Analogous to MediatR's IMediator.
49///
50/// # Object safety
51///
52/// The trait is dyn-compatible for callers that only need type-erased dispatch:
53/// the generic `send`/`publish` methods require `Self: Sized`, while
54/// [`IMediator::send_boxed`] takes/returns `Box<dyn Any + Send>` and is the one
55/// available on `dyn IMediator`:
56///
57/// ```ignore
58/// let mediator: Arc<dyn IMediator> = Arc::new(Mediator::new(provider));
59/// let response = mediator.send_boxed(Box::new(CreateOrderRequest { .. })).await?;
60/// let order = *response.downcast::<OrderView>().expect("typed response");
