Enum BeatOutcome 

pub enum BeatOutcome {
    Sent,
    Dropped(DropReason),
    Failed(BeatError),
}

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 for higher layers that wish to log or escalate.

Variants

Sent

The 32-byte datagram was accepted by the kernel.

Dropped(DropReason)

The kernel could not accept the datagram; the agent should treat this as a no-op. The DropReason payload identifies the underlying cause and lets operators distinguish “observer absent” from “peer gone” from “kernel pressure” from “disk full”.

Failed(BeatError)

An unexpected I/O error surfaced from the underlying send(2). Callers wanting an io::Error can call BeatError::to_io_error.
