//! L4 passthrough plumbing — zero user-space data copies (`IO-04`).
//!
//! `pump(from, to)` moves bytes `from → to` through a kernel pipe with
//! `splice(2)` + `SPLICE_F_MOVE`. Data never touches user space: the pipe
//! buffer pages are remapped between sockets. Both engine backends call this
//! on readability; the function is backend-agnostic.
