Description
Our RPC system currently sends Python pickled data over the wire, which Rust and C++ can't decode, so RPC is effectively Python-only. Switching the transport to JSON unblocks Rust and C++ RPC, including Rust-native connection modules like a Rust go2 module.

Research direction
Start by locating the RPC transport and the code that currently sends Python pickled data over the wire. Trace how Rust and C++ connection modules consume that data, then define the JSON transport boundary. Done means Rust and C++ RPC clients can decode messages, including Rust-native connection modules.
