barks.rs

//! `barks.jsonl`: the size-capped ring of fired alerts (spec §10.4).
//!
//! One [`Bark`] per line, appended by two writers in two different
//! processes — the bark dog when a rule fires, and the shepherd itself
//! when an enabled dog exhausts its restart budget — and read by a third,
//! `shep barks`. [`append`] keeps the file under a byte cap by evicting
//! whole lines oldest-first, rewriting the survivors plus the new record
//! to a sibling temp file and `rename`ing it over the original — the same
//! atomic-replace shape `shep-daemon`'s `snapshot::write_atomic` uses —
//! rather than truncating in place, so a writer that dies mid-rewrite
//! never leaves the reader a fragment.
//!
//! [`read`] is the forgiving half: a line that will not parse — a
//! partially-written record from a writer that died mid-append, or a
//! record from a future shep — costs the reader that one record, not the
//! whole history. This file is read during an incident; refusing the
//! whole ring over one bad line would be the wrong failure mode.
//!
//! Two writer processes is also why [`append`] takes an advisory lock on
//! a sibling `<path>.lock` and holds it across the whole
//! read-evict-rewrite-rename sequence. Without it the two writers
//! interleave read-modify-write and the later `rename` silently discards
//! every record the other appended in between — reproduced, not
//! theorised: two processes appending 200 records each left 200 of the
//! expected 400 in the file. Nothing about the atomic-replace shape
//! prevents that; atomicity buys the reader a whole file, not the writer
//! a whole transaction.
//!
//! Lives in shep-core, not shep-daemon, because it has two writers that
//! are two different processes (the shepherd and the bark dog) and
//! neither is the other's crate — one shared cap implementation, or the
//! two writers evict differently, and that is exactly the kind of drift
//! nobody watches until an incident.
