Enum BeatOutcome 

pub enum BeatOutcome {
    Sent,
    Dropped,
    Failed(Error),
}

Result of a single Varta::beat call.

beat() never blocks and never panics; the kernel’s view of the send is translated into one of three steady-state outcomes. Failed carries the underlying error untouched for higher layers that wish to log or escalate.

Variants

Sent

The 32-byte datagram was accepted by the kernel.

Dropped

The kernel could not accept the datagram and the agent should treat this as a no-op. Possible causes: the observer is not listening, the socket file vanished, or the per-socket queue is full (WouldBlock under non-blocking I/O).

Failed(Error)

An unexpected I/O error surfaced from the underlying send(2). The inner io::Error is forwarded verbatim; constructing it does not allocate on the heap.
