When we receive the %mere gift from clay, the kernel has not yet been
reloaded. This means any attempts to bump desks will fail, as they will
be bumped against the old kernel. Rectifies this by continuing the %base
desk update flow in +on-load, instead of +take-merge-main. Also adds a
wef=(unit weft) to the state in order to discriminate whether or not the
kernel has just been reloaded
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.
The subscription changes in drum broke existing subscriptions. This
worked alright (though loud) for dojo, but it left chat-cli "frozen"
unless you manually unlinked/relinked. This does that automatically.
It also includes a refactoring of +on-load in drum, to avoid vain
repetition.
OTAs commonly end up in an inconsistent state if apps depend on changes
to /sys. For example, the %sift changes break on OTA because %spider
needs to be reloaded so that it's aware of the new thread type. This
adds a %goad app, which reloads all apps after every change to /sys.
Getting this to start OTA is nontrivial, but this pattern should work
for apps in the future. The changes to clock shouldn't generally be
necessary; they are only necessary here because we can't rely on hood to
start goad, since hood fails to compile if it's run before zuse is
reloaded. Once goad is active, this will cease to be a problem.
