-- porch/middleware/keypool.wo — the key pool: an actor per shard, picked by
-- hash of the key, that serializes rate-limit counting (this file, kind 1)
-- and idempotency begin (Task 4, kind 2) against the @table rows in
-- store.wo. This is the only file that knows a pool exists — the
-- middlewares call through it and never touch RateLimitCounter or
-- IdempotencyKey themselves.
--
-- `call`'s reply crosses the actor boundary as a single copyable scalar
-- (WO-E226 — no class, no Text can ride it). The exact count is decided
-- atomically inside `receive`; `pool_count` packs it with the window's
-- remaining time into one Int and unpacks that into the `Verdict` callers
-- actually read, so the packing never leaks outside this file.

-- To a pool actor. kind 1 = count (this file); kind 2 = begin (Task 4
-- fills in the arm — the fields below are already shaped for it: the
-- bare idempotency key travels in `key`, the body digest in `digest`,
-- and the actor runs `handler` against `req` itself so a duplicate waits
-- in the mailbox rather than needing a held reply).

  window:  Int     -- count: window size, µs

-- message's fields are all required, like RoomMsg's `writer` in
