Previously, fake breaches triggered by a %ruin task would only get sent to
subscribers watching for the affected ship specifically. Now, we send them to
both those subscribers, and the ones watching for pubkey changes on all ships.
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.
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.
Jael needs to be reconfigured to listen to the new aagent for azimuth
events, and the old app needs to be shut down. We do this in
/app/azimuth's +on-init.
Additionally, we make sure that jael doesn't crash when it (as expected)
loses its subscription to the old agent.
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.
Improves the multikeyfile format by taking a single ship and a list of
life+key pairs, instead of a list of full seeds.
Also decouples these changes from the dawn event, once again putting a
single seed into it. In the multikeyfile case, keys are injected as
%rekey events to jael near the end of the boot sequence.
Haskell-side changes may or may not be incomplete, boot presently fails
at some unknown point with what looks like a noun conversion error.
Allows booting with a keyfile containing multiple keys, as long as one
of them matches current PKI pubkeys for the specified ship.
All relevant keys are loaded into jael and will automatically be put to
use when they match PKI state.
Also switches everything to ropsten by default, including ivory pill.
Batches work on ropsten now.
Also adds +tx as a hacky development tool to create text for metamask to
sign and then turn that into a batch. A useful reference for bridge and
aggregator work.
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.
When we changed wires from /a/foo to /ames/foo, our sorting function
started sorting by last character instead of first character, so breach
notifications were given to gall before ames. This made gall try to
resubscribe before ames cleared its state, so the message would be lost.
Fixes#4177
This had regressed during some breach-related merge. Multiple commits/branches
had touched this codepath recently, eating the code step change introduced in
#3217.
Fixes#4126.
