p2 rewritten by the Chord v2 authoring rules (decision "App authoring rules confirmed
by the p2 audit"), in four parts merged together:
- core: session lifecycle (relocate, clone, fork, archive) and search rebuild are
persisted jobs on a new server store; Sessions v6 with client-chosen ids and visible
operations; Retry answers with the worker's real outcome; workers push branch,
subagent and status state to the server; roots take the method's ctx.
- services: models, envs, ports, login, mcp, logs, sharing and voice follow external
state (self.follow, followNative) instead of copy loops; methods answer after their
state commits; presence from host.references.
- chat: chat mode, artifacts and prompt resources follow Durable and native state;
shell commands are Chord jobs (shellId is the requestId); status pushed before
send and stop answer; race-free draft claim.
- ui: optimistic updates on web (useOptimistic) and terminal (TuiScope.optimistic,
extended in Chord with a reducer and a pending flag), pending states for long work,
visible rollback, load waterfalls removed; merged with the one composer and
immediate first send (ccff9876e) and the folder + button (5a31a6d5f).
docs/optimistic-ui.md describes the pattern.
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.
Before a provider sends or forwards a call's result or error, it sends the origin's
waiting state, past the window if it is full, so a resolved call's changes are
applied on the page. TuiScope.optimistic shows a value while calls are pending; the
guide shows useOptimistic over a Chord reference; example 63.
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.
Chord's telemetry schema; spans for calls, methods, relays, holds, activations, natives, loads, reloads, resolves,
revocations, routines, jobs and HTTP requests; trace carriers on hold and call (bounded, printable ASCII) continued by
relays and workers; events and host-wide metrics; the app kit passes an adapter to its hosts. renderTrace escapes
control characters. Example 62 prints a trace across three hosts.
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.
- get, hold and registry on a host that has not loaded throw not_ready at once.
- A registry with contributions and no provider is reported (registry_undeclared) at publication.
- A request waiting unbound is reported once after 5 s (unbound_long; one clock per host), and keeps waiting.
- An invalid plugin name makes load and reload throw before any change.
- A transaction cancelled by the end of its context is reported (transaction_cancelled) besides rejecting.
- Docs: who a reference acts as, no per-link call limit, await what you start in a root or a handler.
src/next is src (the main export), src/next-node is src/node with short subpaths (/http, /workers, /plugins,
/plugins/runtime, /app, /surfaces, /web, /react, /tui, /tui/launcher); the foundations get /json and /watch;
Chord v1 moves to src/old (/old, /old/node) until p2 runs on v2; tests and docs move likewise (test/, docs/,
test/old, docs/old). Durable and env import the foundations from their subpaths.
