//! RPC protocol types for the `synaps-bridge` parent↔child IPC channel.
//!
//! # Overview
//!
//! The synaps-bridge RPC protocol enables a parent process to spawn a
//! long-lived "rpc child" process and communicate with it over a pair of
//! `stdio` pipes (child's `stdin` / `stdout`). This module defines every
//! message type exchanged over that channel.
//!
//! See also: `synaps-bridge.SPEC.md §4` (path:
//! `/home/jr/Projects/Maha-Media/synaps-bridge.SPEC.md`).
//!
//! # Framing
//!
//! * **Encoding:** UTF-8, line-delimited JSON (LDJSON / NDJSON).
//! * **One frame per line:** each JSON object is terminated by a single `\n`
//!   (`0x0A`). No `Content-Length` header or other envelope.
//! * **Max frame size:** 1 MiB (1 048 576 bytes). Frames that exceed this
//!   limit are considered malformed. The rpc child must emit an
//!   [`RpcEvent::Error`] with `id: None` and remain alive when it encounters
//!   an oversized inbound frame. Enforcement logic lives in Task 2.
//! * **Direction:** the parent writes [`RpcCommand`] frames to the child's
//!   `stdin`; the child writes [`RpcEvent`] frames to its `stdout`.
//!
//! # Version semantics
//!
//! The current protocol version is [`RPC_PROTOCOL_VERSION`] = `1`. The child
//! emits [`RpcEvent::Ready`] immediately after startup, advertising its
//! `protocol_version`. The parent must refuse to proceed if the version does
//! not match its own expectation.
//!
//! # Correlation
//!
//! Every [`RpcCommand`] variant **except** [`RpcCommand::Shutdown`] carries
//! an `id: String` field. The rpc child echoes the same `id` in the
//! corresponding [`RpcEvent::Response`] frame, allowing the parent to
//! correlate requests and responses. The `id` format is opaque to the child
//! (UUID, monotonic counter, or any other string).
