//! After a successful Open, the client adapter best-effort upgrades the
//! socket from [`RX_TIMESTAMPING_FLAGS`] to [`error_queue::TX_TIMESTAMPING_FLAGS`]
//! via [`try_enable_tx_timestamping`]. When that succeeds, the automatic
//! `SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID` counter the kernel assigns to each successfully
//! submitted datagram is used directly as the probe's wire sequence number
//! (see the client crate's `AGENTS.md` for the correlation invariant this
//! relies on). [`drain_tx_timestamps`] performs a small bounded, nonblocking
//! read of `MSG_ERRQUEUE` so the adapter can opportunistically collect those
//! timestamps without ever waiting for one. The observed kernel TX wall time
//! is retained as metadata only; it is not consumed by any measurement in
//! this change.
//! `SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID` counter normally tracks the probe wire sequence
//! after successful sends, so it is used as a best-effort correlation ID.
//! A kernel ID can theoretically be consumed by a send that later fails,
//! desynchronizing that correlation. [`drain_tx_timestamps`] discards
//! unmatched or implausible records; the userspace `sent_at` timestamp remains
//! the fallback. It performs a small bounded, nonblocking read of
//! `MSG_ERRQUEUE` so the adapter can opportunistically collect timestamps
//! without ever waiting for one. The observed kernel TX wall time is retained
//! as metadata only; it is not consumed by any measurement in this change.
