+//! The desk door: the second door onto the one mind, a unix socket one peer may speak on.
+//!
+//! This module owns three things. Who may speak: the kernel's report of the connecting
+//! process's uid must equal the configured one, and it is asked before a byte is read, so a
+//! refused peer has nothing read and nothing written. The socket's life: bind, replace a stale
+//! one, refuse a live one or a file that is not a socket, mode 0660, unlink on drop. And the
+//! bounds: one request per connection, one reply, a header over `DESK_MAX_REQUEST_BYTES` refused
+//! before anything is allocated, one `DESK_CONNECTION_DEADLINE` for the whole connection (every
+//! read and write spends what is left of it, so a peer that trickles bytes is cut off at the
+//! deadline like one that is silent), a reply past `DESK_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES` refused by name (a read of one
+//! fork past it is that fork's `fork_too_large`).
+//!
+//! The trust boundary of the reads (ruling `desk-read-visibility-withheld-ids`). The peer-uid check
+//! IS the whole authentication: Huginn must be reachable only by Bifrost's peer-checked socket, so
+//! the configured uid is Bifrost's and no other process's. `Forks` and `Fork` carry every decider's
+//! note to whoever passes that check, and Bifrost strips notes at its own door (a stripped read
+//! serves `note: null`, CultLib `fork-card.md`); a second reader of this socket is therefore a note
+//! leak, and a deployment that gives the socket to any uid but Bifrost's has no reader check left.
+//! Account ids are Huginn's to withhold: a reader whose `subject` is not in the call's `deciders`
+//! gets `deciders` empty, `answerer` nil and the counts instead. The reads carry no `authority` (a
+//! payload that names one is refused whole), and the door has no other way to ask who is reading.
+//!
+//! The listing gate: a reader who is not a decider sees a fork only while a `desk_listing` for it is
+//! in force, and a fork it may not see reads `fork_unknown`, the same bytes as a missing one, on
+//! every desk operation, a replay of a stored answer included. The door never writes a listing; it
+//! arrives by the RUDP Admit door only. Unlisting is a `Withdrawn` resolution on the listing, and
+//! admitting the listing again after that returns `AlreadyAdmitted` and the fork stays hidden:
+//! relisting is withdrawing the withdrawal, not a second admission.
+//!
+//! It owns no rule. Which Mind method answers is `Daemon::handle_desk`'s; when the door is
+//! served is `serve::run`'s, once per pass in the thread that owns the Mind. A peer that is
+//! slow costs the loop at most `DESK_ACCEPTS_PER_PASS` connections of `DESK_CONNECTION_DEADLINE`
+//! each, four seconds, and only the configured peer can reach that.
+//!
+//! The door keeps no request id: a retry after a lost reply is a new connection with the same
+//! request, and the stored answer is what replays it, across a restart as well.

+//! refresh, rebuild after a model or chunker change, and retirement are all the one
+//! routine (delete by filter, ingest at a commit, rewrite the cursors). `chat::refresh_chat`

+//! The desk feed's golden fixtures: the bytes Bifrost writes to a Mind's desk socket for a list or
+//! a read, and the bytes Huginn writes back, built here with Huginn's own encoders so the files
+//! are what the door speaks. `docs/desk-feed-door.md` is the contract they pin; the README in the
+//! fixtures directory lists them.
+//!
+//! The entry-bearing fixtures carry the reader-count shapes (`raised_at`, `decider_count`,
+//! `answerer_count`, a nullable `answerer`), a decider's view and a non-decider's. CultLib's own bytes
+//! for those shapes are vendored at one commit in `fixtures/desk-feed/cultlib-d3025d3c/`; Huginn's
+//! real types decode and re-encode every one of them byte for byte (checked below).
+//!
+//! `cargo test -p huginn-mind --test desk_feed_fixtures` compares every file with what the
+//! encoders produce now. `HUGINN_WRITE_DESK_FIXTURES=1` rewrites them instead.

+# Desk feed golden fixtures
+
+The bytes on a Mind's desk socket for a list or a read. The contract is `docs/desk-feed-door.md`.
+`crates/huginn-mind/tests/desk_feed_fixtures.rs` writes these files with Huginn's own encoders and
+checks them on every `cargo test -p huginn-mind --test desk_feed_fixtures`. Set
+`HUGINN_WRITE_DESK_FIXTURES=1` to rewrite them. Do not edit them by hand.
+
+Each case has up to four files:
+
+- `<case>.frame.bin` and `<case>.frame.hex`: the whole frame on the socket (u32 big-endian length,
+  then the CultNet message).
+- `<case>.payload.msgpack` and `<case>.payload.hex`: the base64-decoded `payload` of an operation
+  message (named MessagePack). The `record-*` cases are bare payload fragments with no frame.
+
+Hex is lowercase with one trailing newline. The fork id is a question Eureka's mind holds. The
+record's answers, notes and hash are synthetic.
+
+**The listing gate is live in Huginn.** A reader who is not on the call's deciders sees only forks the
+Mind lists (`docs/desk-feed-door.md`); `list-empty.response` is what such a reader gets from a Mind with
+nothing listed.
+
+| case | direction | content |
+|---|---|---|
+| `list-open.request` | Bifrost to Huginn | `Forks`, status open, no cursor, limit 50 |

+| `list-counts.request` | Bifrost to Huginn | `Forks`, status open, limit 0 (counts and stamp only) |
+| `read.request` | Bifrost to Huginn | `Fork` for one fork id |

+| `read-non-decider.request` | Bifrost to Huginn | `Fork`, from a subject who is not on the call's deciders |
+| `list-open.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | a decider's page of one open fork: card with `raised_at` a string, `decider_count` 2 and both ids, record with `answerer_count` 3 and every `answerer` named |
+| `list-open-non-decider.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | the same page for a non-decider: `deciders` empty, `decider_count` 2, every `answerer` nil, `answerer_count` 3; no account id anywhere in its bytes |
+| `read.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | a decider's read of one fork, `raised_at` nil |
+| `read-non-decider.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | the same read for a non-decider, `raised_at` nil, no account id |
+| `read-mxid-decider.request` | client to Huginn | a `Fork` whose first decider is a Matrix id, so outside the account grammar; refused at decode |
+| `read-mxid-decider.failure.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | the operation failure for it: `payload-not-a-request`, naming `deciders`, never quoting the id |
+| `read-email-subject.request` | client to Huginn | a `Fork` whose subject is an email address; refused at decode |
+| `read-email-subject.failure.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | the operation failure for it, naming `subject` |
+| `list-empty.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | an empty Mind, or nothing listed to this reader: counts 0, `forks: []` |
+| `list-counts.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | the limit-0 answer: open 3, recorded 5, `forks: []` |
+| `read-unknown.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | `NotStored` `fork_unknown` (Bifrost: 404) |
+| `list-too-large.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | `NotStored` `fork_too_large` naming the cursor to continue (Bifrost: 422) |
+| `read-too-large.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | `NotStored` `fork_too_large`, read form: names the fork, no order or cursor (Bifrost: 422) |
+| `list-response-too-large.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | `Refused` `ResponseTooLarge` (Bifrost: 503) |
+| `refused-unit.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | `Refused` with a unit variant: a bare string `"MissingIdentity"` (shape only; Bifrost: 503) |
+| `unavailable.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | `Refused` `Unavailable` (Bifrost: 503 for this Mind) |
+| `failure.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | operation failure, `payloadSchema` `gamecult.cultnet.operation_failure.v1` (Bifrost: 503) |
+| `error.response` | Huginn to Bifrost | CultNet `Error` message, no payload (Bifrost: 503) |
+| `record-whole` | fragment | `gamecult.fork.record.v0` in a decider's view: all four answer variants (Counted, Revision, Refused, Retraction) by three accounts, answerer ids and notes whole, `answerer_count` 3 (6 keys) |
+| `record-withheld` | fragment | the same record in a non-decider's view: every `answerer` nil, notes whole, `answerer_count` 3 |
+
+The reader-count shapes (`raised_at`, `decider_count`, `answerer_count`, nullable `answerer`) are
+also CultLib's own bytes, vendored unedited in `cultlib-d3025d3c/` (see its README for the pinned
+commit and each vector). Huginn's types decode every one of them and re-encode it byte for byte;
+the fixtures above are what Huginn's encoders write for the same shapes.

+# CultLib desk-feed vectors, vendored
+
+Source: `GameCult/CultLib` at commit `d3025d3c19674803ad32eb2335461b8cbc22bd28` (#118, on
+`3a51bbab` #117, on `af914253` #115), file `contracts/cultnet/governance/fork-card-vectors.json`. Each `.msgpack` file is
+the vector's `messagePackHex` decoded to bytes, nothing else changed. Do not edit them or rewrite them
+from Huginn's encoders: they are the reference Huginn's types are checked against (see
+`docs/desk-feed-door.md`). To re-pin, take the new commit's vectors and update the sha here, in
+`docs/desk-feed-door.md` and in `CULTLIB_SHA` in `desk_feed_fixtures.rs`.
+
+| file | upstream vector | what it pins |
+|---|---|---|
+| `card-operator-fork` | `card.valid` `operator_fork` | 18 keys (`DE 00 12`), `raised_at` a string, a decider's `deciders` and `decider_count` 1 |
+| `card-raised-at-nil` | `card.valid` `raised_at_nil` | `raised_at` nil, key kept |
+| `card-withheld-deciders` | `card.valid` `withheld_deciders` | empty `deciders`, `decider_count` 2 |
+| `answer-counted` | `deskAnswer.valid` `counted` | 16 keys (`DE 00 10`), `answerer` a string |
+| `answer-revision` | `deskAnswer.valid` `revision` | a `Revision`, `answerer` a string |

+| `answer-refused-stale` | `deskAnswer.valid` `refused_stale` | a `Refused` answer, `answerer` a string |
+| `entry-open-counted` | `transport.entry.valid` `open_counted` | decider view: entry `83`, record `86`, `answerer_count` 1 |
+| `entry-withheld-open-counted` | `transport.entry.valid` `withheld_open_counted` | non-decider twin: `deciders` empty, `answerer` nil, count 1 |
+| `entry-closed-with-ruling-and-a-refusal` | `transport.entry.valid` `closed_with_ruling_and_a_refusal` | decider view, a refusal among the answers, `answerer_count` 2 |
+| `entry-withheld-closed-with-ruling-and-a-refusal` | `transport.entry.valid` `withheld_closed_with_ruling_and_a_refusal` | its non-decider twin, count 2 |
+
+The test `desk_feed_fixtures.rs` checks each file's SHA-256, decodes it with a decoder of its own
+(not `rmp_serde`), then decodes it into Huginn's real type and re-encodes it, byte for byte.
