//! The service harness (docs/process-lifecycle.md): one replyWait loop that
//! folds protocol requests, signals, and subscribed notifications into
//! callbacks — so the lifecycle contract ("answers ping, exits on terminate")
//! is satisfied by construction and a service author writes domain logic only.
//! Nothing is asynchronous inside the process: a callback runs at a point the
//! loop chose, never on a hijacked stack — the whole reason signals are
//! messages.
//!
//! One rule a service author does have to know, and it is stated on
//! `Callbacks.on_message`: **a capability that arrives belongs to the turn** —
//! the loop closes it unless the callback claims it with `take()`. Forgetting is
//! therefore safe, and keeping is explicit; the opposite arrangement quietly
//! spends a handle-table slot per request.
//!
//! The harness also owns the **subscriber side** of a protocol that declares
//! `.events` — see `Subscribers`. The table, the reserved subscribe/unsubscribe
//! verbs, the fan-out, and the dead-subscriber sweep live here rather than in
//! each provider, so every event stream in the system has identical semantics
//! (docs/os-development/protocol-namespace.md, "Wiring").
//!
//! The liveness probe: a **zero-length request is the universal ping**, answered
//! with a zero-length reply by the harness itself. No protocol's requests start
//! at length zero, so the encoding cannot collide, and there is nothing for a
//! service author to implement — a wedged service simply fails to answer, which
//! is the diagnosis (see docs/ipc.md).
