1//! ternlang-runtime — Distributed actor runtime for ternlang
2//!
3//! Phase 5.1: synchronous TCP transport for remote agent communication.
4//!
5//! Protocol: newline-delimited JSON over TCP.
6//! Each message is a single JSON object followed by '\n'.
7//!
8//! Message types:
9//!   {"type":"send",  "agent_id": 0, "trit": 1}     → send trit to local agent
10//!   {"type":"await", "agent_id": 0}                 → run agent handler, return result
11//!   {"type":"reply", "trit": 1}                     → response to await
12//!   {"type":"error", "msg": "..."}                  → error response
13//!
14//! Usage:
15//!   let node = TernNode::new("127.0.0.1:7373");
16//!   node.listen();                  // spawns listener thread
17//!   node.connect("127.0.0.1:7374"); // connect to peer
18//!   node.remote_send("127.0.0.1:7374", 0, 1);  // send +1 to remote agent 0
19//!   let result = node.remote_await("127.0.0.1:7374", 0); // get reply
