Implements the stdio transport for the MCP server, enabling communication with local agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Continue, Cursor) over standard input/output with Content-Length framing. Core features: - LSP-style Content-Length framing with \r\n terminators - JSON-RPC 2.0 message parsing and serialization - INV-9 compliance: stdout contains only JSON-RPC frames - Panic hook redirects panics to stderr - SIGTERM handler for graceful shutdown - Parse errors return -32700 with id: null, then continue Acceptance criteria: - ✅ Piping tools/list with framing produces expected response < 50ms - ✅ EOF on stdin → clean exit within 100ms - ✅ Malformed JSON → -32700 error, subsequent requests work - ✅ No println!/log output to stdout (INV-9 enforced) - ✅ Panics go to stderr, no partial JSON on stdout - ✅ SIGTERM → exit 0, SIGINT → immediate non-zero exit Tests added: - crates/pdftract-cli/tests/mcp-stdio.rs (8 integration tests, all pass) - All 49 existing unit tests continue to pass Refs: pdftract-67tm8, plan Phase 6.7.2

//! stdio transport for the MCP server.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! This module implements the stdio transport defined in the MCP spec:
|
|
//! https://modelcontextprotocol.io/spec/transports#stdio
|
|
//!
|
|
//! # INV-9 Enforcement
|
|
//!
|
|
//! In stdio mode, stdout MUST contain only JSON-RPC frames. All logs and
|
|
//! diagnostics go to stderr. This is enforced by:
|
|
//! - Setting a panic hook that writes to stderr
|
|
//! - Never using println! or print! macros (only eprintln!/eprint!)
|
|
//! - Using a single BufWriter<Stdout> protected by a Mutex for all JSON-RPC output
