"This struct contains connection fields that are explicitly safe for
workers to access" _is_ a useful semantic, in my opinion. And it seems
like it'd make it easier to determine what needs to be included in the
struct; I'm not sure I follow why it would result in less consistency.
But to your suggestion, if we just called the new struct
"ClientConnectionInfo", would it be a useful step towards your
proposed three-bucket state? I guess I'm having trouble understanding
why a struct that is defined as "this stuff *doesn't* get serialized"
is materially different from having one that's the opposite.
