mailbox.rs

//! Cross-session mailbox: one Maildir per session address.
//!
//! Every message a session receives from outside its own user — a peer
//! session, a channel, or a notice — is one [`Envelope`] filed in the
//! receiving session's mailbox. The envelope carries a live return address
//! (`from`) and says how an answer travels back ([`ReplyVia`]), because an
//! agent that cannot tell whether its final message already reaches the
//! sender either stays silent when it should answer or posts twice.
//!
//! Three rules earn their place here:
//!
//! 1. **The store is a Maildir.** `harness serve` runs once per client, so
//!    several processes read and write one mailbox. A message is written to
//!    `tmp/`, then renamed into `new/`. A reader claims it exclusively by
//!    renaming it into `claimed/` under its own pid, hands it on, and only
//!    then acknowledges it into `cur/`. Two readers never both take one
//!    message, and a claim left by a reader that died is returned to `new/`
//!    on the next read, so a crash repeats a message rather than losing it.
//! 2. **Ids deduplicate.** Delivering an envelope whose id is already filed is
//!    a no-op that reports the existing file, so a sender retrying after an
//!    ambiguous outcome cannot create a second copy.
//! 3. **The rendering is the contract with the agent.** The text an agent
//!    reads says who sent it, that it is not the user, and — for each
//!    [`ReplyVia`] — exactly whether and how to answer. Body text is escaped
//!    so a body can never close the envelope or forge its attributes.
