"""Library-level process lock, and detection of an incompatible legacy run
(US07-05, concept §15 "migration and operational risks").
Every safety this application has — durable job leases, rename journals, archive
manifests — assumes that one installation owns the library. Two workers, or the
frozen CLI running beside the app, break that assumption *below* the level those
mechanisms can see: the second process simply does not know the first one's
database exists.
So mutation requires a file lock in the data directory, shaped as JSON so any
future or migrated entry point can read and honour it without importing this
package:
{"lock_version": 1, "role": "worker", "pid": 4242, "host": "...",
"started_at": "...", "library_roots": ["..."]}
One holder per role: an API and a worker are designed to run together, a second
worker is not. A lock whose process is gone is stale and is taken over — refusing
to start because of a crashed predecessor would turn one outage into two.
Ownership is an advisory ``flock`` on that file, not the record inside it. The
record says *who*; the kernel says *whether*. That distinction is what makes the
lock work in containers (US08-03), where a PID and a hostname are namespaced: a
lock left behind by a container that no longer exists names a pid that still
"exists" in the new container and a host that cannot be probed, so believing the
file would deadlock every restart. A flock is released when its holder dies however
it dies, and is seen by every process that can open the file — which for a local
data directory is every container of this deployment.
Legacy detection is deliberately a heuristic, not a promise: the archived CLI has
no lock of its own, so what can be observed is its state files being written right
now. Recent writes to them mean something else is mutating this library, and every
mutating stage should refuse until it stops.
