The writer now drains any buffered messages before shutting down, so queued replies are no longer dropped when a connection closes. This prevents callers from losing responses that were already accepted. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly

Tiny Sweeper reviewTiny Sweeper completed its review; deterministic results follow. State: Incomplete Review snapshot
Completeness: Incomplete What changedIn `crates/tinybus/src/connection.rs`, `writer_loop` takes a `std::sync::Weak<Inner>` and `match`es on `transport.send(message).await`: `Ok(())` continues, `Err(Error::Protocol(_))` logs a warning and drops that single message while the loop carries on (calling the new `refuse_call` when the dropped message was a `MessageKind::MethodCall`), and any other error still breaks the writer. `refuse_call` removes the pending entry for the serial and sends `Message::error_reply`. The construction site spawns `writer_loop(inner.transport.clone(), outbound, Arc::downgrade(&inner))`, and a `writer_tests` module is registered (now under plain `#[cfg(test)]`). `crates/tinybus/src/ports/transport.rs` adds a doc comment to `Transport::send` stating that `Error::Protocol` means the message was refused before any part reached the peer so the link is sound and writing continues, while any failure that may have left a partial or delivered frame must be returned as a different error that ends the writer. `crates/tinybus/src/connection_writer_tests.rs` replaces the socket-based tests with a `Refusing` `Transport` wrapper over `MemoryBus` that returns `Error::protocol("frame exceeds the size cap")` for messages addressed to member `TooBig`.

A rabbit watched the writer run,
One refused note did not stop the fun.
A call came back with its error clear,
Then later echoes hopped right here.
The signal passed; the path stayed bright.
Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.
The writer test module is now compiled only when the uds feature is enabled on unix, since the frame cap it exercises is enforced by the socket transport on write. A comment was added to record that constraint. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly

When the test target is built with --no-default-features or on a non-Unix platform, this unconditional import fails because transport::unix is compiled only under cfg(all(feature = "uds", unix)). This makes the new connection tests break the slim/hermetic test configuration; use MemoryTransport or a small refusing test transport instead of a Unix socket, as required for non-transport behavior tests.

Define the no-write guarantee for protocol errors.
writer_loop continues after every Err(Error::Protocol(_)) from Transport::send. The public Transport contract only requires send to write one message. It does not guarantee that a protocol error means that no bytes were written. A custom transport can therefore leave a partial frame on the stream, or deliver a call and then return Error::Protocol; the writer will continue or report the call as refused.
Restrict this branch to an error that guarantees no write, or document and enforce that every Error::Protocol returned by Transport::send occurs before any part of the message is written.

The writer tests now drive a memory bus with a transport that refuses one addressed message, so the refusal path runs on every platform instead of only under the uds feature. The transport port documents that a protocol error means the message was refused before reaching the peer and the link stays usable. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly

Apply this nonterminal Error::Protocol handling to broker::writer_task as well. When a peer sends a frame just below MAX_FRAME_LEN, replacing its null sender with the broker-assigned name can make the forwarded frame exceed the cap; the destination transport then returns Error::Protocol, but writer_task still breaks on every error and drops that destination's inbox. Its router entry and names remain live while all subsequent traffic is rejected or dropped, so one peer can permanently silence another despite the newly documented transport contract.

Part of tinyhumansai/openhuman#7786 and tinyhumansai/openhuman#7522.
Problem
writer_loopended its task on anyTransport::senderror. A transport that refuses one message withError::Protocol(a frame over the 16 MiBMAX_FRAME_LENcap, on the unix transport and on the module transport) has written nothing, so the link is fine, but the writer exited anyway:Found through a loaded cdylib: an inline storage blob of ~20 MB made the module's call time out after its own 6 s, and the module then could not answer the test's own call within 30 s (openhuman#7786, "inline blob over the 16 MiB frame hangs the probe call").
Change
writer_looptreatsError::Protocolfromsendas a refusal of that one message: it logs, drops the message and keeps writing. Any other error still ends the writer.ai.tinyhumans.tinybus.Error.Protocol, "frame of N bytes exceeds the 16777216-byte cap").Tests
