+/**
+ * Faberun's fx client: one prompt on stdin, one JSONL transcript on stdout,
+ * no interactive surface. The adapter runs this file under
+ * `process.execPath`, so spawning it never depends on a shebang, an
+ * executable bit, or `node` being on the provider's PATH.
+ *
+ * Why ACP instead of `fx ask --json`: `ask` prints its JSON once, at exit, so
+ * the controller's stall detector would see a silent worker for the whole
+ * turn, and its only permission choices are "everything" or "let the model
+ * review itself". `fx acp` streams every tool call as it happens and, in
+ * `ask` mode, sends each shell command and file mutation to this client as
+ * `session/request_permission`, so the file-effect boundary the contract
+ * names is decided here, per path. Measured 2026-09-24 against
+ * api.deepseek.com: seven permission requests for one parseDuration turn,
+ * every file mutation carrying its `path` in `rawInput`.
+ *
+ * Usage and provider failures come from the loopback relay in
+ * `usage-proxy.mjs`, never from fx: fx's usage omits the cache split and its
+ * provider errors arrive as prose.
+ *
+ * Transcript, the only thing this process writes to stdout:
+ *   {"type":"fx.started","sessionId":string}
+ *   {"type":"fx.tool","name":string,"target":string|null}      one per tool call
+ *   {"type":"fx.request","status":number,"usage":Usage|null}   one per provider request
+ *   {"type":"fx.message","text":string}                        one per non-empty assistant message
+ *   {"type":"fx.completed","sessionId":string,"result":string,"usage":Usage|null}
+ *   {"type":"fx.failed","sessionId":string|null,"kind":string,"error":{...},"usage":Usage|null}
+ * where Usage is `{inputTokens, outputTokens, cacheReadInputTokens}` with
+ * `inputTokens` excluding the cached prefix, matching `canonicalUsage`.
