`maduser/argon-http` is the HTTP runtime adapter for Argon applications. It provides the kernel and response emitter that Prophecy can use after the container, routing, middleware, and error packages have been registered.

The package is intentionally small:

- `Kernel` runs the HTTP request lifecycle.
- `ResponseEmitter` emits PSR-7 responses to SAPI.
- `HttpKernelServiceProvider` binds the kernel and emitter into an `ArgonContainer`.

It does not define routes, build middleware stacks, format exceptions, or create PSR-7 messages. Those responsibilities belong to the routing, middleware, error, and HTTP message packages.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require maduser/argon-http
```

For a complete HTTP stack, applications normally combine this package with:

- `maduser/argon-prophecy`
- `maduser/argon-http-message`
- `maduser/argon-routing`
- `maduser/argon-middleware`
- `maduser/argon-error`

Service Provider
----------------

[](#service-provider)

Register the HTTP provider during application boot:

```
use Maduser\Argon\Container\ArgonContainer;
use Maduser\Argon\Http\Provider\HttpKernelServiceProvider;

$container = new ArgonContainer();
$container->register(HttpKernelServiceProvider::class);
```

The provider binds:

- `Maduser\Argon\Contracts\Handler\AppHandlerInterface` to `Kernel`
- `Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface` through the HTTP message server-request factory
- `Maduser\Argon\Support\Contracts\ResponseEmitterInterface` to `ResponseEmitter`

The server request binding is only registered when the application has not already provided one. It uses a normal factory binding, not a closure, so the container can still be compiled. This keeps tests, workers, and custom front controllers in control while giving normal SAPI front controllers a useful default.

The kernel expects the container to resolve a `RequestHandlerInterface`. In the full Argon HTTP stack that is usually provided by `maduser/argon-routing` and `maduser/argon-middleware`.

Exit Behaviour
--------------

[](#exit-behaviour)

By default the provider sets `kernel.shouldExit` from the runtime environment:

- `APP_ENV=testing` disables hard exits.
- all other environments allow the kernel to exit after emitting a response.

Applications can set `kernel.shouldExit` before registering the provider to override that default.

Error Handling
--------------

[](#error-handling)

The HTTP kernel deliberately does not catch or format exceptions. Runtime throwables are coordinated by Prophecy and the error package so the kernel stays focused on three operations:

1. process the request through a PSR-15 request handler;
2. emit the returned PSR-7 response;
3. terminate with an exit code derived from the response status.
