* Replace `channel` with `conversation` throughout the API.Owen Jacobson2025-07-03
| | | | This is a **breaking change** for essentially all clients. Thankfully, there's presently just the one, so we don't need to go to much effort to accommoate that; the client is modified in this commit to adapt, users can reload their client, and life will go on.
* Rename "channel" to "conversation" within the server.Owen Jacobson2025-07-03
| | | | | | I've split this from the schema and API changes because, frankly, it's huge. Annoyingly so. There are no semantic changes in this, it's all symbol changes, but there are a _lot_ of them because the term "channel" leaks all over everything in a service whose primary role is managing messages sent to channels (now, conversations). I found a buggy test while working on this! It's not fixed in this commit, because it felt mean to hide a real change in the middle of this much chaff.
* Handlers are _named operations_, which can be exposed via routes.Owen Jacobson2025-06-18
| | | | | | Each domain module that exposes handlers does so through a `handlers` child module, ideally as a top-level symbol that can be plugged directly into Axum's `MethodRouter`. Modules could make exceptions to this - kill the doctrinaire inside yourself, after all - but none of the API modules that actually exist need such exceptions, and consistency is useful. The related details of request types, URL types, response types, errors, &c &c are then organized into modules under `handlers`, along with their respective tests.
* Reorganize and consolidate HTTP routes.Owen Jacobson2025-06-18
| | | | | | | | HTTP routes are now defined in a single, unified module, pulling them out of the topical modules they were formerly part of. This is intended to improve the navigability of the codebase. Previously, finding the handler corresponding to a specific endpoint required prior familiarity, though in practice you could usually guess from topic area. Now, all routes are defined in `crate::routes`. Other than changing visibility, I've avoided making changes to the handlers at the ends of those routes.
* Heartbeats are part of the event protocol.Owen Jacobson2025-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A heartbeat is an event that the server synthesizes any time an event stream has been idle for longer than some timeout. They allow clients to detect disconnection and network problems, which would otherwise go unnoticed because event streams are a one-way channel. Most network problems only become clear when the offended party tries to _send_ something, and subscribing to an event stream only sends something during the request phase. Technically, Pilcrow has always sent these, since we started using Axum's SSE support: it defaults to sending a dummy event after 15 seconds (consisting of `":\n\n"`, which is then ignored). I've built Pilcrow's heartbeat support out of that, by customizing the event sent back. The results _mostly_ look like existing events, but there are two key differences: * Heartbeats don't have `id` fields in the event stream. They're synthetic, and they don't participate in either the "resume at" sequence management, or the last-event-id header-based resumption management. * Heartbeats have an `event` but no `type` field in the message body. There are no subtypes. To make it less likely that clients will race with the server on expiring timeouts, heartbeats are sent about five seconds early. In this change, heartbeats are due after 20 seconds, but are sent after 15. If it takes longer than five seconds for a heartbeat to arrive, a client can and should treat that as a network problem and reconnect, but I'd really like to avoid that happening over differences smaller than a second, so I've left a margin. I originally sketched this out in conversation with @wlonk as having each event carry a deadline for the next one. I ultimately opted not to do that for a few reasons. First, Axum makes it hard - the built-in keep-alive support only works with a static event, and cannot make dynamic ones whose payloads might vary (for example if the deadline is variable). Second, it's complex, to no apparent gain, and adds deadline information to _every_ event type. This implementation, instead, sends deadline information as part of boot, as a fixed interval in seconds. Clients are responsible for working out deadlines based on message arrivals. This is fine; heartbeat-based connection management is best effort at the best of times, so a few milliseconds of slop in either direction won't hurt anything. The existing client ignores these events entirely, which is convenient. The new heartbeat event type is defined alongside the main event type, to make it less likely that we'll inadvertently make changes to one but not the other. We can still do so advertently, I just don't want it to be an accident.

* Resume points are no longer optional.Owen Jacobson2024-10-30
| | | | This is an inconsequential change for actual clients, since "resume from the beginning" was never a preferred mode of operation, and it simplifies some internals. It should also mean we get better query plans where `coalesce(cond, true)` was previously being used.

* Use a two-tier hierarchy for events.Owen Jacobson2024-10-09
| | | | This will make it much easier to slot in new event types (login events!).

* List messages per channel.Owen Jacobson2024-10-03

* Represent channels and messages using a split "History" and "Snapshot" model.Owen Jacobson2024-10-03
| | | | | | This separates the code that figures out what happened to an entity from the code that represents it to a user, and makes it easier to compute a snapshot at a point in time (for things like bootstrap). It also makes the internal logic a bit easier to follow, since it's easier to tell whether you're working with a point in time or with the whole recorded history. This hefty.
