Implements tasks for creating and deleting new sessions, and allows
terminal handler agents to distinguish between sessions.
Includes bits of preparation in drum to more fully support multiple
distinct sessions, but doesn't get it all the way there just yet.
Gall would send %onto gifts to notify about app updates and update
failures. This would end up in dill, which printed some appropriate
text.
Here, we make gall responsible for doing this printing itself (by
having it explicitly ask dill to print some tape/tank), instead of
relying on the receiving end of some bespoke notification protocol.
The previous version allowed for redundant values (both [%bac ~] and
[%key ~ %bac ~] for example), had an odd constraint in @cF, and relied
unnecessarily on $<.
Also rewords some of the belt and blit descriptions.
Previously, we relied on foolish hacks, like [%met %bac], to send
"special" keystrokes with modifiers.
This updates the belt type to have %key, which represents a single
keystroke, with any combination of modifier keys.
Note that this has overlap with %txt to some extent. [%key ~ 'a'] should
be considered equivalent and preferred to [%txt 'a' ~], but updating
existing usage is left to a later commit.
This simplifies the behavior of individual blits, making their
implementation simpler and giving arvo more control.
This lets us write on top of existing content, instead of completely
replacing the affected row. Additionally, lets us draw starting at the
cursor position, instead of the leftmost column.
To retain the previous behavior, preface with [%hop 0] to move the
cursor to the start of the line, [%wyp ~] to clear the existing content,
and finally your %lin to render it.
Some of the remainder are still _presently_ unused, but point at
functionality we want to support again in the near future. The ones
removed here are either redundant or have no clear purpose.
As per the note a couple lines up, +fore depends on drum semantics being
active. We can only guarantee those being present for the default
session, not for any others. So, we print a warning when appropriate.
Before recent dill changes, this wouldn't always be visible, since it
would get drawn in place of (and subsequently get overwritten by) the
prompt. Now that it displays consistently again, it should look a bit
better than just a noun dump.
This is somewhat redundant with gall's own "reloading agent" printfs,
but you know what they say: printfs don't real!
This prepares us for actually making use of multiple session in a sane
way.
Notable implicit change is that we no longer crash on an "unrecognized
duct", instead always handling it as destined for the default session.
As follow-up to 3fdef1468, we now no longer store the prompt or cursor
in state. These were still used for view initialization, but it's more
appropriate to %hey the underlying console application in those cases.
The scry endpoints we remove, expecting clients that depended on them
to send a %hail instead.
No longer inserts newlines or redraws the prompt post-print, pushing
this responsibility down to drum where it belongs.
Additionally, separates the flow for dill's own output, from that of the
console application. This lets us keep the desired behavior for now, and
will ease reworking in the future.
Last-printed-line and cursor position are still kept around in dill
state, in order to respond to the relevant scry endpoints. These should
either be refactored to scry into the underlying console app, or be
removed entirely in favor of %hey.
Instead of confining you to just the bottom row. 0,0 is bottom left.
Doesn't behave exactly as expected for non-zero column coordinates yet,
but all in due time.
Likewise for belt. This necessitates renaming the %mor blit for newlines
to %nel, making this require a new runtime version. That's fine, more
breaking changes are to follow.
* jb/motion:
pill: solid
zuse: remove %crud from vane-task
arvo: full vane names in $sign
aqua: build again (still broken)
arvo: reform of the scry reform
This was a little bit too crummy. Instead, we put in a placeholder of ~,
which should be forwards-compatible with atomic session identifiers,
where ~ identifies the default session.
Additionally touches up the herm wires/paths to stick to the above more
closely.
This lets us support the "random userspace app sending dill belts".
Ultimately, we'll want to be able to specify a session identifier
alongside the belt, instead of strictly relying on the duct.
Adds a %view task, which opens a subscription on the output sent to the
specified session. %flee closes the same.
Whenever dill sends a blit to the session, any subscribers get the
output also.
The structures here will become more reasonable once we replace ducts
with proper dill session identifiers.
People using older runtimes might not support the %klr blit. It's not
uncommon for prompts without style to get passed in as %pom though, so
here we catch that case and turn it into a %pro, which gets rendered as
a traditional %lin.
