=head1 NAME

AnyEvent::MCP::Client::JSONL - MCP byte streams and stdio subprocesses

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   my $client = AnyEvent::MCP::Client::JSONL->new (
      command => [$program, @args],
      env => { PERL_ANYEVENT_MCP_MULTIBROKER_PROTOCOL => "stdio" },
   );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Use this transport when the MCP server is a subprocess or an already
connected byte stream. It reads one JSON-RPC message per line, so stdout
from a child server must contain protocol messages only. Diagnostic output
belongs on stderr. A single stray banner on stdout can break the connection.

An argument array executes the program directly; a command string runs
through a shell. Prefer the array form when no shell syntax is needed.
The process starts on the first connection, not when the client object
is constructed.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 $client = AnyEvent::MCP::Client::JSONL->new (%config)

C<command> is an argument array for direct execution, or a string explicitly
run through C</bin/sh -c>. The child inherits stderr. C<env> contains child
environment overrides. No command runs until connecting.

C<handle> contains AnyEvent::Handle options, excluding the filehandle and
read/error/EOF callbacks managed here. C<max_size> bounds an incoming JSON
line, defaulting to 16 MiB.

C<name> is available for application identification but does not load transport
defaults. The library does not infer a subprocess command or environment.

=head2 $client->attach ($fh_in, $fh_out)

Uses existing handles instead of a command. C<$fh_out> defaults to C<$fh_in>
for a bidirectional socket. The client takes ownership. Attach before sending
requests. Closing an attached connection requires attaching new handles before
reconnecting.

Closing a subprocess connection sends SIGTERM and keeps its child watcher
alive until the child has been reaped. It does not restart an outstanding call.
An accepted multibroker idle shutdown is the exception: its child can exit
and perform cleanup without receiving SIGTERM.
