Logan Johnson 514a9a86d3 fix(acp): interrupted frame writes close the sole writer; fixed native-steer refusal reasons (#7568)
🤖

## Summary

- **A partly written message can no longer corrupt the stream between
Buzz and an agent.** Buzz runs each coding agent as a child process and
sends it one JSON message per line over the agent's stdin pipe.
Previously, if such a write was cut off mid-line — a concurrent control
operation won the race, its deadline expired, the task was aborted, or
the pipe failed partway — the partial line stayed in the pipe and the
next message was written directly behind it, leaving a single corrupted
line on the agent's input that no parser can read. Now the connection's
single stdin writer is owned by the write itself: it is handed back only
after the whole line, its newline, and a flush have all completed. An
abandoned or failed write closes the pipe instead, so nothing can ever
append to a partial line — later operations get a clean broken-pipe
transport error, which the existing retry and retirement policy already
handles.
- Intentionally unchanged: cancelling a prompt whose message was fully
written works exactly as before, and an ordinary application-level error
reply from the agent (for example, a JSON-RPC "bad input" error) does
not close the transport — the next prompt reuses the same connection.
- **Refused mid-run steers now log why, in fixed words.** While an agent
task is running, Buzz can try to steer it — hand additional instructions
to the running task — and falls back to the existing cancel-and-merge
behavior when that is not possible. When a steer is refused before
anything is written to the agent, the log now records one fixed reason
instead of an opaque dump of the whole error: `task_absent` (no running
task owns the scope), `sender_absent` (the task has no steer channel
installed), `mailbox_full` (the one-slot steer mailbox already holds a
steer), or `mailbox_closed` (the task's steer receiver is gone).
Before-write refusals are now distinguishable from failures after a
steer was accepted, which keep carrying the underlying transport error.
Behavior is unchanged — same fallback, request ownership, and return
values; only the log field changes.

### Testing

- **19 new tests.** In `crates/buzz-acp/src/acp_frame_writer.rs` (8):
interrupting the write at the body or the newline boundary, or hitting
an I/O failure, must close the writer and make every later write fail; a
completed write keeps the writer; a real OS-pipe test interrupts a 300
KB prompt mid-body and asserts that cleanup and later requests fail with
no frame appended; another real-pipe test asserts a completed prompt
still cancels normally; an application-error reply leaves the connection
reusable. In `crates/buzz-acp/src/pool.rs` (7): each fixed refusal label
is produced by `send_steer` for its real cause, an admitted steer
reaches the read loop, the labels round-trip without drift, and
post-admission failures never classify as admission refusals. In
`crates/buzz-acp/src/lib.rs` (4): the real `try_native_steer` is driven
through each refusal branch with a real pool, queue, and signed event,
and the emitted fallback log is captured and pinned — the exact fixed
reason, exact message and channel, no request or error content, and the
unchanged fallback return; forcing the production reason to a wrong
label or deleting it fails all four. A mutation check (removing the
writer-ownership transfer) fails the frame tests.
- **Full local `just ci` at `45e00ec82` — all lanes passed**, including
the buzz-acp 947 unit + 9 integration tests, desktop and mobile suites,
fmt, clippy, web, security, and build lanes.
- **Previous head `5276ef375` added only a one-line test fix.** Windows
Clippy flagged the `wait_for` test helper as dead code because its only
callers are Unix-only tests; it now carries the matching `#[cfg(unix)]`
guard. No production code or assertions changed. Re-verified locally at
this head: `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy -p buzz-acp --all-targets
-- -D warnings`, and the 8 frame-writer tests pass. No full local rerun
— the full matrix ran remotely at this head.
- **Remote CI at `5276ef375` was green** — [run
34530106246](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/34530106246): 42
jobs passed, 20 conditionally skipped, 0 failed, including the Windows
Rust lane (the guard's purpose) and the desktop core lane; Docker image,
desktop release-candidate, and DCO checks pass. The automated security
review over `00209076c…5276ef375` reported no findings.
- **Current head `2224ec228` adds the fallback-log regression tests.**
Rebased onto `main` at `44c1cc7df` and extended with a test-only commit:
the four `lib.rs` tests above now pin the production fallback log.
Verified locally at this head: full `cargo test -p buzz-acp` (952 unit +
9 integration, 0 failed), `cargo clippy -p buzz-acp --all-targets -- -D
warnings`, and `cargo fmt --check`, all clean; the DCO check passed
remotely. Fresh remote CI is running on this head.
