6//! The turn's only door to the ledger.
7//!
8//! A turn appends two kinds of payload. One it authored itself: segment
9//! hashes, the model name, the operator's steer text — values this
10//! module computed and can vouch for. The other it merely carried: a
11//! model reply, a tool's arguments, a tool's result. The carried kind
12//! routinely holds another project's `.env` line, an API key or a
13//! passphrase, and the ledger is append-only and exportable, so a
14//! secret that lands there outlives the session, the machine, and any
15//! later decision to take it back.
16//!
17//! The two kinds therefore travel through two different functions of
18//! [`Journal`], and the carried one is scanned on the way in.
19//! [`Authored`] and [`Carried`] partition this module's event kinds,
20//! neither can name the other's, and no other spelling of [`EventKind`]
21//! reaches an [`EventDraft`] — which is what makes the scan structural
22//! rather than remembered. The run's own lines between the turn's
23//! phases are a third kind, [`RunLine`]: the run authored them, so they
24//! are not scanned, and they carry the run's address.
25//!
26//! The same variants decide when a line happened. The lines a turn
27//! waited for - a model attempt sent, the wait it took at its endpoint's
28//! gate, its reply whole, a tool call started, its answer - carry their
29//! own reading and cannot be built without one; every other line carries the turn's stamp. The clock
30//! those readings come from is read in this module and nowhere else in
31//! the turn (`crates/kernel/Spec.lean` §8-4, "what the envelope `t` records").
