* Split `user` into a chat-facing entity and an authentication-facing entity.Owen Jacobson2025-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The taxonomy is now as follows: * A _login_ is someone's identity for the purposes of authenticating to the service. Logins are not synchronized, and in fact are not published anywhere in the current API. They have a login ID, a name and a password. * A _user_ is someone's identity for the purpose of participating in conversations. Users _are_ synchronized, as before. They have a user ID, a name, and a creation instant for the purposes of synchronization. In practice, a user exists for every login - in fact, users' names are stored in the login table and are joined in, rather than being stored redundantly in the user table. A login ID and its corresponding user ID are always equal, and the user and login ID types support conversion and comparison to facilitate their use in this context. Tokens are now associated with logins, not users. The currently-acting identity is passed down into app types as a login, not a user, and then resolved to a user where appropriate within the app methods. As a side effect, the `GET /api/boot` method now returns a `login` key instead of a `user` key. The structure of the nested value is unchanged.
* 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.
* Remove the snapshot fields from `/api/boot`.Owen Jacobson2025-06-20
| | | | Clients now _must_ construct their state from the event stream; it is no longer possible for them to delegate that work to the server.
* 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.
