// The protocol, driven through a loopback port — no dial, no tmux, no network.
//
// What is worth testing here is not that JSON round-trips. It is the three rules the header names, each of
// which was paid for on real hardware and each of which is invisible until it is wrong:
//
//   · every `hello` is answered, but only an unfamiliar dial gets the whole state pushed again
//   · silence reopens the port, because a dead handle keeps accepting writes
//   · a voice turn with no agent named goes through the router before it goes anywhere
