The pure swap is gone: a reload restarts every live object of a changed plugin
(documents and tables kept). Calls running at the commit and every call they cause
(the ctx call chain; an old flag on call from trusted links) run on the open old
attempt, which seals once its work drained and its successor's recorded requests are
ready, bounded by reloadDrainTimeout (5 s); then the successor's factory runs. New work
waits at the gate; same-host consumers see the draining object live; a reload cycle
fails at once with unavailable/reload_cycle. Example 64, design section 21 rewritten.
The server drops a page's own chord.* attributes and writes chord.host and the principal hook's result itself; tests
for the hook returning nothing, the NOOP adapter and calls over a link.
The four telemetry gaps (rows on commits, chord.host, microsecond times, a read-only store) and: pages record and
send span batches over their link to the server's ingest object (checked, capped, rate-limited, stamped browser and
with the link's principal); workers send theirs too, so the server is the store's only writer; principalAttributes
lets an app choose what a span records about its principal. The tutorial shows a real page's click traced to the
worker, with the trace viewer.
A call arriving while an attempt activates waits for its outcome (bounded by readyTimeout) instead of failing
not_ready while its client sees live. Fates start in the reverse of the order objects went live, so a pure
dependent of a swapping provider swaps instead of parking.
defineMessages with typed t, t.message/t.render for messages as data, the Translations registry with fallbacks and
conflicts, a locale preference per principal with the device as default and a live switch, useMessages and
scope.messages, formatTime/formatNumber. The tutorial gains a chapter on languages.
self.query(table, q, limit) runs before the object goes live and again in the commit step of every commit that
touched the table, publishing only the diff; a reload swaps the object. The tutorial and 59-chat use it.
