instead make it a rolling 128-bit integer. 128 bits is the same size as
the +sham space, so is one natural choice for "big enough to never have
to think about this." 64, 32, 16, even 8 bits would probably be fine.
Threads should eventually take and produce $cage instead of $vase. Since
%khan is likely to be used by third parties, we write to the eventual
intended API. We ignore the mark on the input $cage (it is safe to
always specify %noun), and we always use %noun as the output mark.
%fyrd now makes more sense. It was previously discarding the type of the
output %arow and re-encoding the raw noun as a vase of the output mark;
it is now performing mark conversion from the mark of the output $cage
to the originally requested output mark.
tid was accidentally getting set to the name of the output mark. As we
don't currently support cancelling threads, there is no reason to
maintain the originally-intended correspondence between tid and conn
request-id.
Take the opportunity to clean up indentation somewhat.
Also strips out `$` from khan top-level comment.
There are arguments for keeping $crag in lull, and on the other side for
moving $cast to arvo. This seemed like the most reasonable approach.
%fyrd is now implemented in terms of %fard, and likewise %avow in terms
of %arow. State is tracked via wire rather than in a global map.
Unit tests adjusted to match.
These take and produce vases, and assign random tids (rather than
deducing them from the input duct.)
Since %fard does not require mark conversion, we make the mark/beak on
$thread-state optional (and use this to decide whether to send %avow or
%arow.) Provide a state adapter since it's possible that people have
been experimenting with this vane.
This makes the negative case of %avow/%arow kind of clunky, since there
is no content difference, but the following does not seem possible
within the Hoon type system:
=/ gif
?~ p.tad
%arow %avow
[hen %give gif %| p.cag tang]~
- only store metadata in the persistent map. just enough to support
(eventual) thread cancellation and output mark lookup.
- try to delete thread state at other failure points not covered by
%kick.
- reflect back the passed output mark rather than form.dais. not sure
about this one yet.
