    var gpa_impl = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
    defer if (gpa_impl.deinit() == .leak) @panic("MEMORY LEAK");
    const gpa = gpa_impl.allocator();

    const gipc: GreetdIPC = try GreetdIPC.new(null, gpa);
    defer gipc.deinit();
    const request: Request = .{ .create_session = .{ .username = "user"}};
    try gipc.sendMsg(request);
    const response = try gipc.readMsg();
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{std.json.fmt(response, .{})});
}
