Previously, the initial Azimuth snapshot was stored in Clay and shipped
in the pill. This causes several problems:
- It bloats the pill
- Updating the snapshot added large blobs to Clay's state. Even now
that tombstoning is possible, you don't want to have to do that
regularly.
- As a result, the snapshot was never updated.
- Even if you did tombstone those files, it could only be updated as
often as the pill
- And those updates would be sent over the network to people who didn't
need them
This moves the snapshot out of the pill and refactors Azimuth's
initialization process. On boot, when app/azimuth starts up, it first
downloads a snapshot from bootstrap.urbit.org and uses that to
initialize its state. As before, updates after this initial snapshot
come from an Ethereum node directly and are verified locally.
Relevant commands are:
- `-azimuth-snap-state %filename` creates a snapshot file
- `-azimuth-load "url"` downloads and inits from a snapshot, with url
defaulting to https://bootstrap.urbit.org/mainnet.azimuth-snapshot
- `:azimuth &azimuth-poke-data %load snap-state` takes a snap-state any
way you have it
Note the snapshot is downloaded from the same place as the pill, so this
doesn't introduce additional trust beyond what was already required.
When remote scry is released, we should consider allowing downloading
the snapshot in that way.
This converts the blob store from having deltas, directs, and
tombstones, to just having direct pages. This simplifies a lot of code,
since we don't have to constantly ensure that deltas always have their
parent available.
This removes the hardcoded text diff logic from clay, which was
previously required for bootstrapping.
Over the wire, we handle both old and new requests and responses
transparently, so communication is normal in both directions across
ships which do or do not have this change.
addresses #5442 by adding %thread-done and %thread-fail marks. also
fixes await-thread:strandio and removes some blank lines from
app/spider.hoon
%thread-done loses the type of the result, so you'll need to use ;; to
get it back. the real way to fix this is to have threads produce cages
instead of vases
%rez has always used "width & height". Certainly, "x & y" is more
standard than "row & column". As such, we settle on making %hop and %hit
respect the more natural ordering. This change is safe because these
interfaces haven't made it to livenet yet.
Small touch-ups to simulation behavior and ph tests. Most of them pass
now, even if they're still really slow at times.
The breach ones don't pass, but also complain of dangling bone, so might
work once the fix for that is in.
Also I took the liberty of making `build-signing-participants` use a `%lyfe` scry and remove unknowns from the set rather than crashing. This is a choice - happy to change it back the other way.
We update the sole protocol to more cleanly support multiple sessions.
Primarily, the "sole id" is updated to be a [@p @ta] instead of a @ta,
and it is now generated based off the connected dill session, rather
than statically.
This change ripples out to applications that support the sole protocol:
the subscription path becomes /sole/[ship]/[session] (as opposed to
/sole/[per-ship-constant]), and %sole-action pokes include the new id as
well.
For shoe agents, this means (at the very least) updating the function
signatures of the shoe arms.
/lib/sole has been updated to include helper functions for parsing a
sole-id from a subscription path, and turning a sole-id into its
corresponding path. It also has a function to aid in migrating old
sole-ids.
Existing sole agents are made to kick any known open sessions, forcing a
resubscribe by drum, so that they may use exclusively the new format
going forward. Third-party agents are recommended to do the same.
Note that some functionality, such as |link, still operates exclusively
on the default session. Improvements in this area to follow soon.
Resolves a good number of conflicts. Most notably, re-propagates removal
of gall's %onto, confirms new /app/herm behavior, coerces hood/drum
state adapters back into place, and updates webterm to use the latest
api.
Conflicts:
pkg/arvo/lib/azimuth.hoon
This file was turned into a symlink to pkg/base-dev/lib/azimuth.hoon on
one side of the fork, and meanwhile edited on the other side of the fork
(to update ecliptic to the new address for the WSTR fix.)
The two sides of the fork both had different outdated addresses in
base-dev's azimuth.hoon file, and Git's UI helpfully refilled the
contents of arvo's azimuth.hoon so that it showed a merge conflict with
an empty diff.
Resolved by reading out HEAD:pkg/arvo/lib/azimuth.hoon into
pkg/base-dev/lib/azimuth.hoon and manually recreating the symlink.
This adds support for tombstoned files to clay. It does not include any
way to actually tombstone them; that is left for later.
This allows tombstoning at the level of a file. Precisely, this expands
+blob:clay by adding a %dead case:
+$ blob :: fs blob
$% [%delta p=lobe q=[p=mark q=lobe] r=page] :: delta on q
[%direct p=lobe q=page] :: immediate
[%dead p=lobe ~] :: tombstone
== ::
Thus, we maintain the invariant that every lobe corresponds to a blob,
but now a blob may be an explicit tombstone.
Details:
- This has not been tested at all, except that it compiles and boots.
- This does not have a state adapter from master. The only state change
is the definition of +cach.
- Additionally, out-of-date ships may unexpectedly receive a %dead blob
from a foreign clay which would interfere with their ability to download
that desk. No code changes necessary, but sponsors should avoid
tombstoning files in %base for a while so their children can get the
update.
- A merge will only fail if the tombstoned file conflicts with another
change. Note that as written, merging from a past desk *can* bring a
tombstoned file to the head of a desk. Possibly this shouldn't be
allowed.
This also includes a couple refactors that were made possible by ford
fusion (since everything is synchronous now) but never got done. In
both cases we get to remove a monad, which simplifies the code
considerably.
- refactor +merge's error handling to use !!/mule instead of threading
through errors
- refactor all +read-* functions and related parts of +try-fill-sub to
eagerly convert lobes to cages.
We also add support reading %a/b/c/e/f/r/x from past and foreign desks,
when possible. Apologies that all of these are in one commit, it was
all a single chunk of work.
This is a draft until we have a way to tombstone. I suspect we'll want
to have a mechanism of keeping track of gc roots and trace to remove,
but this PR doesn't suggest any particular strategy.
