//! Bounded-syscall primitive: run a (potentially-blocking) operation
//! on a worker thread, with a hard wall-clock deadline and an optional
//! cooperative [`Halt`] poll. The calling thread is never trapped
//! inside a kernel call.
//!
//! ## Why this exists
//!
//! [`crate::halt::Halt`] is cooperative: callers poll
//! `is_cancelled()`. It cannot reach inside a syscall the kernel
//! currently owns the thread for — `libc::sync_file_range`,
//! `libc::fsync`, `File::write` on NFS, and so on. `/api/stop` from
//! autorip therefore can't unstick a thread sitting in such a syscall.
//!
//! [`bounded_syscall`] is the escape hatch: it runs `op` on a fresh
//! worker thread, then `recv_timeout`s on a rendezvous channel for the
//! result. The wait is broken into ~250 ms slices so the calling
//! thread can poll the supplied [`Halt`] in between. If the deadline
//! elapses or the halt fires, the worker is intentionally leaked — the
//! syscall will unwind whenever the kernel decides, or at process
//! exit, but the caller is free to fall back to a degraded code path
//! (skip the sync, log loudly, etc.).
//!
//! ## Trade-offs
//!
//! - **Thread per call.** Cheap (`std::thread::spawn` is < 100 µs on
//!   Linux/macOS), but not free. Use on coarse-grained finalisation
//!   syscalls (`sync_all`, `sync_file_range(WAIT_AFTER)`), not on hot
//!   inner-loop writes.
//! - **Leak on timeout.** A wedged syscall keeps a kernel slot and a
//!   user-space thread around for the rest of the process's life.
//!   Bounded by the number of independent rip/mux sessions, which is
//!   one per disc. The alternative — trapping the caller forever —
//!   defeats the entire purpose of `/api/stop`.
//! - **Halt granularity ~250 ms.** Halt observation is not instant;
//!   it's the worst-case latency of the `recv_timeout` slice. Good
//!   enough for human-driven stop requests; not suitable for hard
//!   real-time deadlines.
//!
//! ## Single source of truth
//!
//! Do NOT inline this pattern. Every blocking-syscall wrapper in the
//! rip + mux pipeline calls this helper, so changes (e.g. swapping the
//! channel impl, adjusting the poll slice, adding metrics) land in one
//! place.
//!
//! ## Platform
//!
//! Pure `std::thread` + `std::sync::mpsc`. No `cfg(target_os)` needed
//! here — the helper itself is platform-agnostic. Callers that wrap
//! Linux-only syscalls (`sync_file_range`) still need their own
//! `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]` gates; this helper does not.
