Prior to this commit, there was a jet mismatch in to-wain (formerly
called lore, and still jetted under that name). 0 bytes in the middle of
a cord caused the jet to crash, whereas the hoon simply treated them as
the end of cord and truncated the output. The history of this behavior
is fraught with controversy. This commit rectifies the current mess with
the following rationale: Null bytes are valid ASCII/UTF-8, and \n\n in
the input will cause null list items in the output, so nulls are (for
the purposes of to-wain) allowed in cords. Trailing nulls cannot be
represented because of the nature of atoms, but that is outside the
scope of to-wain's concern. Therefore to-wain should simply measure the
cord and split on newlines, and do nothing fancy at all with nulls.
In addition, the hoon for to-wain was written in an inefficient style
that produced a lot of intermediate garbage atoms via rsh and cat. This
commit's implementation measures once and cuts once, so to speak, and so
avoids the intermediate garbage. Quick benchmarks suggest it is about
20x faster than the old hoon, but still orders of magnitude slower than
the jetted code. to-wain is the workhorse for the txt mark, so we should
still prefer to have a jet.
The old jet is left wired up under %lore, and should be removed when
support for the old, unupgraded zuse is no longer necessary. A new jet
with matching null handling has been wired up under the name %leer.
If both sides changed a file in the same way, %mate used the version in
the mergebase, which is incorrect. This changes it to use the version
in the destination desk.

Ordinarily, eyre cleans up the relevant gall subscriptions whenever a
channel disappears. In yet unresolved erroneous behavior though, it may
leave a gall subscription open, despite wiping the channel from state.
Attempting to pass the response onto the deleted channel anyway results
in an %eyre-no-channel error later in the event. The volume of these
errors can degrade the user experience, as per #3196.
To resolve the annoyance (but not the underlying issue) we detect the
"subscription has no channel" case, and issue a %leave. Doing so
requires additional information in the wire, so we add that in,
refactoring the relevant wire building along the way.
Note that due to the wire requirements, this cannot resolve existing
cases. For that, we depend on bc929ba6d.
As part of the solution to #3196, we need to clean up any gall
subscriptions that eyre didn't properly clean up.
Since detecting that is hard, we opt to just wipe _all_ eyre-originating
subscriptions from gall. We inspect the duct, which isn't good, but it's
only just this once.
The main thing here is that we aggressively check whether we're in
ancestry of another mergebase candidate. This means we don't have to do
a 2nd pass to eliminate redundant candidates.
Change the definition of base-hash to be the mergebase of %home with the
OTA source. This means it's the most recent successfully-applied
update, which is usually the most important information.
Add sour-hash, which is the hash of the most recently *downloaded*
update, regardless of whether it applied successfuly (ie the old
base-hash).
Add a summary of the various hashes at the top of gen/trouble.
Only no-op if the incoming commit's parent is the old head of the desk.
Also move the printing near the end so we can know exactly if anything
changed.
Jael now stores a `step` that is combined with the original salt to
produce a new code. A `%step` card is used to increment that value,
and effectively resetting the keys. Because the first `step` is zero,
the first code is the same as before.
Eyre was changed to be notified with `%code-changed` so it can forget
old cookies, sessions and discard all the existing channels.
A new generator was added |code, that does both querying and
resetting the code
|code :: shows current code, step and help
|code %reset :: changes the code
The old +code generator still works correctly.
We used to not accept new indirect lanes if we already have a direct
lane. This means that if Bob, with a publicly-accessible lane, changes
lanes (eg by restarting the process and getting a new port or changing
ip addresses), tries to talk to Alice, who is behind a NAT, then Bob
will try directly but fail (because Alice is behind a NAT), so he will
route the message through her galaxy. This is good -- the message gets
to Alice. However, Alice had a direct route to Bob's old lane, so she
will try to ack on that lane, which fails. She will not time out this
lane because she doesn't know that Bob isn't getting the acks (acks
don't have their own acks).
The solution is that if Alice receives an indirect lane for Bob when she
already has a direct lane, she shouldn't ignore it. If the lane is the
same as what she has, she shouldn't change anything (in particular, she
shouldn't mark it as indirect). But if it's a new lane, she should
discard her old direct lane and use the new indirect lane.
RFC2396 defines[1] unreserved characters as alphanumerics and nine "mark"
characters. We were only parsing for four of those, leading to parsing failure
for valid URLs.
