Threads should eventually take and produce $cage instead of $vase. Since
%khan is likely to be used by third parties, we write to the eventual
intended API. We ignore the mark on the input $cage (it is safe to
always specify %noun), and we always use %noun as the output mark.
%fyrd now makes more sense. It was previously discarding the type of the
output %arow and re-encoding the raw noun as a vase of the output mark;
it is now performing mark conversion from the mark of the output $cage
to the originally requested output mark.
Also strips out `$` from khan top-level comment.
There are arguments for keeping $crag in lull, and on the other side for
moving $cast to arvo. This seemed like the most reasonable approach.
%fyrd is now implemented in terms of %fard, and likewise %avow in terms
of %arow. State is tracked via wire rather than in a global map.
Unit tests adjusted to match.
These take and produce vases, and assign random tids (rather than
deducing them from the input duct.)
Since %fard does not require mark conversion, we make the mark/beak on
$thread-state optional (and use this to decide whether to send %avow or
%arow.) Provide a state adapter since it's possible that people have
been experimenting with this vane.
This makes the negative case of %avow/%arow kind of clunky, since there
is no content difference, but the following does not seem possible
within the Hoon type system:
=/ gif
?~ p.tad
%arow %avow
[hen %give gif %| p.cag tang]~
Instead of exporting keys so that caller can do this themselves, we
expose arms for signing and authenticating that produce and operate on
just the signature, without mangling it into the message.
By moving this behavior for packets with ames-style headers into lull,
other vanes that want to do protocols in similar style (like the upcoming
%fine vane) can reuse the logic here.
Note that we parameterize the main en- and decoding functions, so that
we may pass in the "is ames" flag and protocol versions as appropriate
to the context.
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.
