samiandClaude Sonnet 5 5e3e21543a proto: give the generated C++ Dispatcher a real error channel (P1, 1.4.0)
DAEMON's daemon/docs/proto-requests-m1.md P1: velox::proto::Dispatcher's
on_* methods returned Result<T> = expected<T, ParseError>, and dispatch()
mapped every handler error to -32603 InternalError. A handler had no way to
return -32010 (download.get not-found), -32011 (download.add invalid-path)
or -32013 (probe-failed) with their data payloads -- three error fixtures a
conformant server must satisfy were unreachable, blocking DAEMON's
"conformance as a server" M1 DoD.

Two error channels now, kept separate on purpose:
  - parse: Result<T> / ParseError -- dispatch() failing to turn the wire into
    typed params. Always -32602, always structural.
  - handler: HandlerResult<T> / HandlerError -- a handler deciding the request
    can't be fulfilled. Carries any ErrorCode + message + free-form data.

    struct HandlerError {
        ErrorCode code{ErrorCode::InternalError};  // bare {} is a valid -32603
        std::string message;
        nlohmann::json data = nullptr;             // straight into the error's data
    };
    template <class T> using HandlerResult = std::expected<T, HandlerError>;

dispatch()'s handler branch is now
  make_error(id, r.error().code, r.error().message, r.error().data)
instead of a hard-coded InternalError. -32001/-32002/-32003 stay the server
layer's to raise around dispatch(), as DAEMON already does.

Verified end to end against the real dispatch() path: a handler returning
TaskNotFound/InvalidPath/ProbeFailed produces -32010/-32011/-32013 with the
data object intact, and a bare HandlerError{} still yields a clean -32603
with no data field. The `= nullptr` on the member (not `{nullptr}`) matters:
brace-init of nlohmann::json from nullptr is the array [null], not JSON null.

FixtureDispatcher regenerated to HandlerResult; conformance_main.cpp only
inspects dispatch()'s JSON and needed no change. TS side is untouched beyond
the version string -- no server Dispatcher is generated there.

P2 also handled: session.hello.version-mismatch's data.expected was a stale
"1.0.0"; now $any, with a note that the error-fixture compare is on `code`
only so a server echoing kProtocolVersion there is fine.

Version: minor, 1.3.0 -> 1.4.0. Wire is byte-identical (no schema, fixture,
or OpenRPC change) but every Dispatcher implementer must swap Result ->
HandlerResult on regen, and the bump is how lanes are told to. Not an ADR:
one lane consumes this binding, it's the one that asked, and the shape is
the one they proposed. Answered in contracts/proto-answers-daemon-m1.md.

Layout

src/background/transport/   Transport interface + WebSocket and native-messaging impls,
                            runtime picker. See docs/adr/0003 for why there are two.
src/shared/protocol/        GENERATED from ../contracts — never hand-edit.
tests/                      vitest; webextension-polyfill is mocked in tests/setup.ts.

Develop

npm ci
npm run typecheck        # tsc --noEmit, strict
npm test                 # vitest run
npm run lint             # web-ext lint (AMO rules) — needs manifest.json

Build against tools/mockd over the WebSocket transport; veloxd is not required.

Transport quick start

import { createTransport } from './src/background/transport/index.js';

const t = await createTransport();            // reads the Options override; default 'auto'
t.onStateChange((s) => renderDot(s));
const rules = await t.call('capture.getRules', {});

createTransport resolves with a live, self-reconnecting transport. When veloxd is not up yet it still resolves (WebSocket, status disconnected, retrying) — callers render the red dot. It rejects only when the user explicitly forced native messaging and that failed. Capture code treats every call() rejection as fail-open.
