This change greatly improves the ergonomics of working with channel JSON
in statically typed languages, as the polymorphism is moved out of the
actual diff and into the event framing.
Previously, if trying to bind to an endpoint that was already bound to,
eyre would reject it. This doesn't play very nicely in a softdist world
where uninstalled apps might not get a chance to clean up, and apps
might re-bind simply for being re-installed.
Here we change eyre to overwrite an existing binding if it conflicts
with the new one to be added.
As SSE are unidirectional, the client always realises that the
connection has failed faster than the server does. Hence, resuming a
subscription is useless, because channels can only be bound to one duct
at a time. Now, instead of failing a request for a channel
that is already bound to a duct, we replace the duct and continue
normally.
Start with |start %desk %app-name
Everywhere in the kernel that we deal with marks, we infer the app it's
connected to and use the marks from that desk.
Also some light renaming in gall, especially path->wire and
current-agent->yoke.
Subsequent tasks:
- Dojo needs a syntax to run generators and threads from other desks
- The home desk should be split into at least a minimal base desk and
big "userspace" desk. Dill's initialization logic should be updated
to handle
- |show-package, |install, and |uninstall should to be written
- Clay should have smarter handling of system versions instead of just
ignoring what's on each desk. It's not clear that this will work
correctly when sys updates right now.
Avoid allocating hundreds of thousands of cells when giving large
requests. This took the footprint of this function on initial landscape
load from 1 second to 100 ms.
