#ifndef LOGOS_PROTOCOL_H #define LOGOS_PROTOCOL_H /* =========================================================================== * logos_protocol.h — the public, language-neutral C ABI of logos-protocol. * * This is the ONE seam every Logos SDK builds on. The data model is * JSON-in-strings: method arguments are a JSON array, results are a JSON * value, event payloads are a JSON array — all UTF-8 `const char*`. * * Ownership: * - Every `char*` RETURNED by this library is heap-allocated and owned by * the caller; free it with lp_string_free() (safe on NULL). * - Every `const char*` PASSED IN is borrowed for the duration of the call. * * Bytes encoding: binary data crossing this ABI is encoded inside JSON as * {"_bytes": ""} * (a single-key object). This is lossless for arbitrary bytes, including * embedded NUL. It matches the plain-wire encoding (json_mapping.cpp) and is * the canonical representation at this boundary. * * Error shape: structural failures report one canonical JSON object through * `out_error_json` / error callbacks: * {"code": "", "message": "", "origin": ""} * * Threading / event-loop contract: * - Callbacks may arrive on an internal protocol thread — never assume * they run on your own thread. * - Handles are thread-safe per-handle: calls on one handle may be made * from any thread; the library marshals to the handle's owner thread * internally where required. * - Qt-free transports (plain tcp/tcp_ssl, mock) are serviced by the * library's own workers — no caller event loop is needed. * - The Qt Remote Objects transport (the current default inside module * processes) ADDITIONALLY requires a running Qt event loop in the * process. Every Logos module process has one (logos_host runs it). * Standalone non-Qt consumers must use the plain transport. * A client on that transport is created on — and owned by — the Qt main * thread no matter which thread calls lp_client_create(), because its * node and socket are only serviced by that thread's loop. Calls from * other threads marshal onto it and block until it answers. * - lp_invoke() blocks the calling thread until the result arrives or the * timeout elapses (timeout_ms <= 0 selects the default, currently 20s). * * Cancellation / lifetime: * - After lp_client_destroy() / lp_unsubscribe() RETURNS, no further * callbacks fire for that handle; pending async results are dropped. * `user_data` may be freed only after that point, never before. * - Both are safe to call from ANY thread, including a worker that happens * to drop the last reference to a client. lp_client_destroy() defers the * underlying teardown to the client's owner thread when called elsewhere, * so the handle may outlive the call by an event-loop turn — the * no-callbacks guarantee above holds regardless. * * Versioning: this library carries the logos-protocol semantic version — * the single number that governs Logos load/call compatibility. Two * participants interoperate iff they share the same MAJOR. MINOR is * additive/back-compatible; PATCH never affects compatibility. * =========================================================================== */ #define LOGOS_PROTOCOL_VERSION_MAJOR 0 // 0.4: per-identity token stores — lp_token_isolate_identity() and the four // functions around it (lp_token_identity_is_isolated, lp_token_get_for, // lp_token_save_for, lp_token_reset_identity), plus lp_client_create resolving // its store through the origin instead of the image singleton. Additive: with // nothing isolated, forIdentity() returns the same object instance() does, so // every pre-0.4 host and binding runs on exactly the store it ran on before — // the new symbols are the only way to get any other behaviour. // 0.3: the trust-root surface — lp_grant_host_services() plus the two functions // it gates (lp_token_keys, lp_inform_module_token_to), and the module-impl // export that carries the grant across the cdylib boundary // (logos_module_grant_host_services, logos_module_impl.h). Additive: no // existing symbol changes behaviour, and an image that is never granted sees // exactly the pre-0.3 surface — the gates are closed by default — so a host // that knows nothing about the grant keeps working unmodified. // 0.2: per-module concurrent dispatch ("multi"). Additive/back-compatible — a // multi module returns a deferred-completion sentinel from callMethod and pushes // the result as a __logos_call_complete__ event (see logos_async_dispatch.h); // the provider/host ABI is UNCHANGED, so same-MAJOR hosts (incl. 0.1 daemons) // load and forward multi modules without modification.
