Module node 

Core node abstractions and ProcessorNode trait.

This module defines the fundamental interface for processing nodes:

• ProcessorNode: The core trait that all nodes must implement
• NodeContext: Runtime context passed to nodes during execution
• InitContext: Context for asynchronous initialization
• OutputSender: Handle for sending packets to downstream nodes

Structs

InitContext

Context provided to nodes during initialization.

NodeContext

The context provided by the engine to a node when it is run.

OutputSender

A handle given to a node to send its output packets.

Enums

OutputRouting

An enum representing the two ways a node’s output can be routed.

OutputSendError

Error returned by OutputSender::send when a packet cannot be delivered.

Traits

ProcessorNode

The fundamental trait for any processing node, designed as an actor.

Type Aliases

NodeFactory

A factory function that creates a new instance of a node, accepting optional configuration. Wrapped in an Arc to make it cloneable.

ResourceKeyHasher

A factory function that computes a hash of parameters for resource caching.

RoutedPacketMessage

Message type for routed packet delivery. Uses Arc<str> for node and pin names to avoid heap allocations on every send.
