+balk defines a datastructure for a parsed remote scry path format in
addition to conversion gates to and from paths.
The new scry path format is /~ship/rift/life/vane/care/spur. Note that
desk no longer appears in the scry path format and should instead be
encoded as the first item of the spur.
instead make it a rolling 128-bit integer. 128 bits is the same size as
the +sham space, so is one natural choice for "big enough to never have
to think about this." 64, 32, 16, even 8 bits would probably be fine.
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.
tid was accidentally getting set to the name of the output mark. As we
don't currently support cancelling threads, there is no reason to
maintain the originally-intended correspondence between tid and conn
request-id.
Take the opportunity to clean up indentation somewhat.
This can occur after upgrade, or when receiving a %delta blob. We do not
know the path or commit timestamp of a file that resolves to the blob,
so we simply fall back to old ames-style blob-by-lobe fetching.
In +work, we simply want to fetch file data, regardless of what the
overarching request is. (In fact, %sing would likely never hit this path
anyway.)
In order to be able to make the scry request, we track the timestamp of
the commit that contains a blob we're missing, and scry for that %da
revision.
There's two edge cases where we cannot immediately know the timestamp
that are currently assumed broken. Fix soon.
%v requests are already handled specially for the ames case. We should
continue to respect that, only doing those kinds of requests over ames.
Also cancels the scry timer after receiving a response, instead of not
doing that.
