// TODO we should prob store async calls in db immediately since we're returning id (will 404 until post-execution)
// TODO async calls need to add route.Headers as well
// TODO handle timeouts / no response in sync & async (sync is json+503 atm, not 504, async is empty log+status)
// see also: server/runner.go wrapping the response writer there, but need to handle async too (push down?)
// TODO storing logs / call can push call over the timeout
// TODO async is still broken, but way less so. we need to modify mq semantics
// to be much more robust. now we're at least running it if we delete the msg,
// but we may never store info about that execution so still broked (if fn
// dies). need coordination w/ db.
// TODO if a cold call times out but container is created but hasn't replied, could
// end up that the client doesn't get a reply until long after the timeout (b/c of container removal, async it?)
// TODO if async would store requests (or interchange format) it would be slick, but
// if we're going to store full calls in db maybe we should only queue pointers to ids?
// TODO examine cases where hot can't start a container and the user would never see an error
// about why that may be so (say, whatever it is takes longer than the timeout, e.g.)
// TODO if an image is not found or similar issues in getting a slot, then async should probably
// mark the call as errored rather than forever trying & failing to run it
// TODO it would be really nice if we made the ramToken wrap the driver cookie (less brittle,
// if those leak the container leaks too...) -- not the allocation, but the token.Close and cookie.Close
// TODO if machine is out of ram, just timeout immediately / wait for hot slot? (discuss policy)

// Agent exposes an api to create calls from various parameters and then submit
// those calls, it also exposes a 'safe' shutdown mechanism via its Close method.
// Agent has a few roles:
//	* manage the memory pool for a given server
//	* manage the container lifecycle for calls (hot+cold)
//	* execute calls against containers
//	* invoke Start and End for each call appropriately
//	* check the mq for any async calls, and submit them
//
// Overview:
// Upon submission of a call, Agent will start the call's timeout timer
// immediately. If the call is hot, Agent will attempt to find an active hot
// container for that route, and if necessary launch another container. Cold
// calls will launch one container each. Cold calls will get container input
// and output directly, whereas hot calls will be able to read/write directly
// from/to a pipe in a container via Dispatch. If it's necessary to launch a
// container, first an attempt will be made to try to reserve the ram required
// while waiting for any hot 'slot' to become available [if applicable]. If
// there is an error launching the container, an error will be returned
// provided the call has not yet timed out or found another hot 'slot' to
// execute in [if applicable]. call.Start will be called immediately before
// starting a container, if cold (i.e. after pulling), or immediately before
// sending any input, if hot. call.End will be called regardless of the
// timeout timer's status if the call was executed, and that error returned may
// be returned from Submit.
type Agent interface {
	// GetCall will return a Call that is executable by the Agent, which

	// Submit will attempt to execute a call locally, a Call may store information
	// about itself in its Start and End methods, which will be called in Submit
	// immediately before and after the Call is executed, respectively. An error
	// will be returned if there is an issue executing the call or the error
	// may be from the call's execution itself (if, say, the container dies,
	// or the call times out).
