As of version %5, dill uses a new wire format for its userspace
subscriptions. Its existing subscriptions (read: the one subscription
into %hood for the default session) was never updated to use this new
style.
We observed a bug on one ship, where it had both old-style and new-style
subscriptions into hood, resulting in output being rendered twice. How
exactly this happened remains as of yet unclear.
Here, we forcefully clean up the old-style subscription, and
(re)establish the equivalent new-style subscription. This will prevent
issues like this from reoccurring.
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.
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.
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
