[merged_serve] waited up to ten seconds for the program to bind agent.sock
before it started [accept_loop]. The listening socket was already up, so an
editor connected fine and then heard nothing: every first request of every
session cost the whole wait when the program calls (agent/start ...) late —
sand.flan starts it after rl/init-window returns — or never.
Nothing the editor asks needs that socket. In one process a delivery is a
call into flan_agent.c, not a connect, and the two-process daemon has already
waited for the bind in [two_process] and fails if it never comes. What the
wait was for is the sentence a program with no agent deserves, and a sentence
does not have to be in front of the loop to be said. So it is a deadline the
session passes ([agent_check]) rather than a wait it does: read from the
accept loop between connections and from [serve] before each request, because
an editor holds one connection for a whole session and the loop is not
cycling while it is attached. No thread, for the reason lib/dune gives about
what the merged link does to this library's dependencies.
Delivery stays honest either way. A program that links no agent at all
refuses through [over_socket]'s ENOENT, as before. One that has the agent but
has not started it takes the module into the ring and is answered with a note
that promises the poll and not a frame: a program with no (agent/poll) in it
never installs this, and "at its next frame boundary" would be the reply that
makes a redefinition look applied when it is not. C-x C-e's five-second
timeout gets the same distinction instead of asking whether a program that
has not got to its loop yet is calling the poll in it.
And the note a parked program's delivery carries is now said once per park.
A finished program is parked, so re-evaluating while a run's output is on the
screen repeated a paragraph on every C-c C-c. The first delivery of each park
explains itself; the rest say the one line that is the claim. [rerun] clears
the flag as well as [eval] does, so a new park is a new reader.
