Both client applets duplicated the step from parsed arguments to a runnable
managed setup: target specs, managed target preparation, a ClientConfig
built from an arbitrary primary target, pacing conversion, and an identical
ManagedClientConfig skeleton with its own copy of the event-capacity
constant. The primary-target step was the worst of it, since the managed
driver replaces server_addr per target, so the address the applets went out
of their way to find was immediately discarded.
shared::client::prepare now performs that step once: it validates the target
set first, then returns the validated targets, one target-free ClientConfig
template, and the pacing, with managed_config()/managed_targets() for the
driver. CommonClientArgs::to_client_config no longer takes a server address.
Applet-specific semantics are unchanged: each command keeps its own duration
default and help text, the client still accepts no target for
--list-columns, and the TUI still rejects an empty target list at parse
time.
Remove the optional "stats" feature by merging it into the "client" and "tui" features to reduce conditional compilation complexity. Replace the "client-runtime" internal feature with direct dependency sets.
Add a scheduler-owned saturating peer-close counter shared with the group session. Update it before best-effort TargetFinished publication so bounded subscriber overflow cannot hide the live shutdown condition, while retaining the existing events, bounded history, and aggregate accounting.
Make grouped CLI and TUI supervision consult the durable count on each existing activity loop and funnel both count and event observations through one-shot stop policy. Preserve interruption suppression, queued-event draining, structured failures, drop reporting, and peer-close diagnostic precedence.
Cover scheduler-only accounting, non-peer exclusions, receiver and removal races, deterministic capacity-one DropOldest eviction with an active target, frontend one-shot policy, and the existing process-level peer-close and interruption behavior.
Replace the manual single-target ClientSession loops in the stream and TUI adapters with ManagedClient::start_with_subscription so the existing worker owns opening, deadline-aware pacing, receive handling, timeout polling, draining, and close.
Use bounded subscription waits for interruption and input polling, drain queued events before and after join, and report per-subscription drops without changing output, statistics, labels, summaries, warning, or peer-close policy. Add process and unit regressions for 10 ms cadence, interruption, final-event draining, TUI terminal state, and overflow visibility.
Record a continuous peer-closed TargetFinished event as the reason for requesting group shutdown and stop each CLI/TUI group at most once. Drain the managed subscription and join before applying exit policy so queued output and target failures are preserved.
Give peer closure precedence over the cancellation caused by that internal stop while keeping explicit interruption and finite-run behavior distinct. Add bounded process regressions for partial closure, mixed failures, queued rows, and interruption plus focused TUI policy coverage.
Keep PeerClosed as a distinct successful library outcome while treating it as an error at the CLI and TUI boundary for uninterrupted continuous runs.
Track aggregate peer-close outcomes independently of bounded recent history and cover finite, continuous, grouped, mixed-failure, interruption, and TUI status behavior.
Enable simultaneous probing of multiple targets within the TUI using a new target status table and multi-series RTT graph. Refactor target resolution logic into a shared module to support consistent behavior across CLI and TUI components.
