::  ford: build system vane
!:
::    Ford is a functional reactive build system.
::
::    A Ford build is a function of the Urbit namespace and a date that
::    produces marked, typed data or an error.
::
::    The function in the definition of a build is called a "schematic,"
::    and it's represented by a Hoon data structure with twenty-five sub-types.
::    A schematic is a (possibly trivial) DAG of sub-builds to be performed.
::    The different schematic sub-types transform the results of their
::    sub-builds in different ways.
::
::    We call the date in the definition of a build the "formal date" to
::    distinguish it from the time at which the build was performed.
::
::    Each build is referentially transparent with respect to its formal date:
::    ask to run that function on the namespace and a particular formal date,
::    and Ford will always produce the same result.
::
::    We can now say Ford is a functional build system, since each build is a
::    function. We have not yet explained how it's a functional reactive build
::    system. With Ford, you can subscribe to results of a build. Ford tracks
::    the result of a "live" build consisting of a static schematic and the
::    ever-changing current date. Whenever this live build's result changes,
::    Ford sends you the new result and the formal date of the build (the date
::    which would cause the same result if you asked Ford to build that
::    schematic again). This is a push-based FRP paradigm.
::
::    The implementation is event-driven, like the rest of Urbit. While
::    performing a build, Ford registers each namespace access as a dependency
::    and also notes whether the dependency is "live," meaning the path within
::    the namespace updates with time. For example a live Clay dependency would
::    update the +case within the +beam over time.
::
::    A request to perform a build without subscribing to its future changes is
::    called a "once build."
::
::    After finishing a build, Ford subscribes to updates on the build's
::    dependencies. For now, this just means it subscribes to Clay for file
::    changes. Whenever any of the files in the subscription have new contents,
::    Clay will notify Ford, which will then rerun any live builds that depend
::    on any of the changed files and send its subscribers the new results.
::
::    This matches the semantics of live builds defined above. If someone had
::    asked for a build of the schematic with a formal date d2 just before the
::    changed Clay files, Ford would respond with the result of the previous
::    build with formal date d1, which would still be an accurate
::    representation of the schematic's result at d2, since Ford knows none of
::    its dependencies changed between d1 and d2.
::
::    Note that Ford can only calculate dependencies after running a build,
::    not before. This is because Ford can be thought of as an interpreter for
::    schematics, rather than a compiler, in the sense that it can't have a
::    dependency-gathering step followed by a build step. The dependencies of
::    some schematics must be calculated based on results, e.g. the %alts
::    schematic, which tries a sequence of sub-builds until one succeeds. If
::    the first sub-build succeeds, the build depends only on that first
::    sub-build, but if the first fails and the second succeeds, the build
::    depends on both.
::
::    This dynamicity implies we don't know what we depend on until we depend
::    on it. Most build systems have this property, but this part of Ford's
::    job is easier than for most Unix-based build systems: Ford draws all
::    resources from an immutable namespace, and it can track every access of
::    that namespace.
::
::    Ford might produce a build's result asynchronously, in a subsequent Arvo
::    event. This happens when accessing the namespace doesn't complete
::    synchronously, such as when grabbing a file from another ship. Ford
::    guarantees it will respond with build results in chronological order
::    using the formal date, not the order in which the builds completed.
::
::    Ford does not guarantee it will notify a subscriber of a changed build
::    only once per change. In common usage it will not send duplicate
::    notifications, but it might if its cache was recently wiped.
::
::    Ford uses dependency tracking, caching, and results of previous builds
::    to eliminate excess work. When rerunning a live build, Ford "promotes"
::    previous results to the new time if the build's dependencies hvaen't
::    changed since the previous build's formal date. Ford does this check
::    for each build in a tree of sub-builds under the "root build," which
::    is the build that was requested directly.
::
::    In addition to the main %build +task sub-type, Ford also supports
::    four other commands:
::
::    %kill: cancel a build
::
::      A once build in progress will be canceled, including all of its
::      sub-builds that aren't part of any other builds.
::
::      A live build's subscriptions will be canceled, its completed results
::      will be deleted, and its dependency tracking information will be
::      deleted. If a rebuild is in progress, it will be canceled.
::
::    %keep: resize caches
::
::      Ford maintains two caches: a :compiler-cache that stores
::      content-addressed compiler operations, such as parsing, compiling,
::      and type inference; and a :build-cache that stores previously
::      completed build trees along with their results and dependency tracking.
::
::      The %keep command resets the maximum sizes of these caches, deleting
::      entries if necessary.
::
::    %wipe: decimate storage
::
::      The %wipe command removes build results from storage to free memory.
::      It deletes the specified percentage of build results, in LRU
::      (Least Recently Used) order. It also removes entries from the compiler
::      cache. It does not remove dependency tracking information.
::
::    %wegh: report memory usage
::
::      Like all vanes, Ford can also be asked to produce a human-readable
::      report of its memory usage. Nock cannot calculate its own memory use
::      directly, so instead we produce the nouns themselves, which the runtime
::      "weighs" based on its memory model.
::
::    For details on Ford's implementation, consult Ford's vane interface core
::    near the bottom of the file.

::
::    If it's not :verified, then the relation is a guess based on previous
::    builds. These guesses are used to ensure that we hold onto builds we
::    expect to be used in future builds. Each time we run +make on a build,
::    it might produce new :verified sub-builds, which may have been unverified
::    until then. Once a build completes, any unverified sub-builds must be
::    cleaned up, since it turned out they weren't used by the build after all.
::
::    :blocked is used to note that a build can't be completed until that
::    sub-build has been completed. A relation can be :blocked but not :verified
::    if we're trying to promote a build, but we haven't run all its sub-builds
::    yet. In that case, we'll try to promote or run the sub-build in order to
::    determine whether we can promote the client. Until the sub-build has been
::    completed, the client is provisionally blocked on the sub-build.
