Module Message 

Message types and routing.

Message Module (IPC)

RESPONSIBILITIES

This module provides the core message types and routing infrastructure for the IPC layer. It defines the standard message format used for all communication between Wind (frontend) and Mountain (backend), and handles message routing to appropriate handlers.

ARCHITECTURAL ROLE

This module is part of the IPC communication layer in Mountain’s architecture. It sits at the entry point of the IPC system, defining the contract for all IPC messages and managing their distribution to handlers.

KEY COMPONENTS

• Types: Core message structures (TauriIPCMessage, ConnectionStatus, etc.)
• Router: Message routing logic to dispatch messages to handlers

ERROR HANDLING

All message operations return Result types with descriptive error messages for troubleshooting communication failures.

LOGGING

Trace-level logging for message routing, debug for listener registration, error forFailed operations.

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

• Message cloning is minimized where possible
• Listener lookups use HashMap for O(1) complexity
• Message queuing handles backpressure when disconnected

TODO

• Add message batching support
• Implement message priority queuing
• Add message validation schemas
