+//! `from_call` adapter (ADR-017 §3): discovers the remote peer's `External`
+//! operations via `services/list` + `services/schema` and registers them in
+//! the connection's Layer 2 overlay as `FromCall`-provenance leaves with
+//! forwarding handlers.
+//!
+//! The discovery mechanism (`services/list` + `services/schema`) is already
+//! implemented in `registry/discovery.rs`; `from_call` is the client-side
+//! consumer of that API.
+//!
+//! See `docs/architecture/crates/call/client-and-adapters.md` §from_call for
+//! the spec and the v1 defaults (auto-on-reconnect, error-on-collision).
