## FFI-thread body and request submission API.
##
## Included from `ffi_context.nim` — inherits its imports, FFIContext type,
## and the `onFFIThread` threadvar. Companion to `event_thread.nim`.
##
## Responsibilities:
## - Receive `FFIThreadRequest`s from foreign threads via `reqQueue` (a
## lock-free MPSC queue) and dispatch them through the user-registered
## handler table.
## - Advance `ctx.ffiHeartbeat` each loop iteration so the event thread can
## detect a wedged FFI thread.
