Annotation Interface LocalOnly

@Documented @Target({TYPE,ANNOTATION_TYPE,PACKAGE}) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Inherited public @interface LocalOnly
Restricts messages with the annotated payload type to local handlers.

The annotation may be placed on a payload type, a meta-annotation, or a package. Package declarations apply to child packages; use @LocalOnly(false) on a more specific package or payload type to opt out. A marked original remains local-only when a dispatch interceptor replaces its payload, while a marked replacement also enables the restriction.

Fluxzero never serializes or publishes a local-only message externally. A request without a matching local handler completes exceptionally with LocalOnlyDispatchException; a non-request message without a matching handler simply completes. Handler code can still perform its own side effects.
