When a fetch is user-requested, a timeout can be supplied that is passed
down to the worker.
When a fetch is service-requested, a default timeout is used.
Private repos are implemented by extending the identity document with a
`visibility` attribute, that can either be `"public"` (default) or
`"private"`.
In case of `private` visibility, only the delegates are allowed to view
the repo, as well as any DIDs added to the allow list.
To implement repo visibility, we simply block fetches from and
announcements to peers for whom the repo should remain invisible.
Private repos are also not announced in the `inventory` message, since
the full list of peers that *may* have the repo is retrievable from the
repo identity. This could cause errors if eg. a peer who is allowed to
view the repo doesn't actually have it. However this is an ok trade-off
for now to keep the complexity low. For repos to truly be private, it's
important that the RIDs don't leak either.
Finally, we modify `radicle-httpd` for now to only list public repos.
Eventually, we would want to change this depending on whether an allowed
peer is authenticated with the service or not.

It's also worth mentioning why this approach was taken, vs. end-to-end
encryption. The reasons are as follows:
1. Nodes that do not have access to a private repo will generally not want to
replicate encrypted data that they cannot examine or use.
2. The chosen solution is trivial, while encrypting git objects isn't.
3. Performance of the chosen solution is much better, there is no
overhead.
4. Privacy of the chosen solution is better: RIDs are never leaked, and
neither is the existence of a private repo, nor who has access to it.
There is one downside: Paying for storage of private repos is no better
in terms of privacy than what GitHub offers. Hosting providers will have
access to your private repos, if this solution is used.
Add `deny.toml` with a few exceptions, and update certain dependencies
to get rid of duplicates.
Running `cargo deny check` will yield some warnings still, but no
errors.
This change allows for files (blobs) to be embedded into COB entries.
This allows for things like image attachments in issue comments for example.
For now, we only enable this in the `issue` COB.
The way it works is that relevant COB actions carry metadata about which
files are attached to them; and we store those files as blobs inside the
COB entry's *tree* object, under an `embeds/` folder.
The `Embed<T>` type is used for the above, and either carries actual
content, or carries a content-id. Retrieving the actual content is as
simple as asking the repository for a blob with that content-id.
As a possible future extension, MIME types could be stored alongside the
files in a "metadata" file. This could help clients display the content
appropriately.
This is a breaking protocol change that prefixes all gossip messages
with their length.
This is to allow message extensions, as we'll be able to read the whole
message inclulding the extensions, without having to decode the
extensions.
It also makes it easier to check the message length before we start
decoding, so that we can reject messages that are too big.
When an option is available as part of the node configuration
(`config.json`), we remove it from the CLI options of `radicle-node`.
Instead, we allow a different config file to be specified via the
`--config` option.
This adds functionality so that on `rad sync` and `rad clone`, we
connect to known seeds if necessary, before attempting to fetch.
In passing, some related changes were made:
* The `rad sync` command's arguments were reworked:
`--replicas <count>` can be used to specify a replica count when
fetching
* The `rad patch` command no longer has a `--fetch` option
* It's now possible to tell the node not to automatically connect to
peers in the background
* `AddressBook` is being used underneath `Seeds` to allow for shuffled
iteration
Only return once the connection is established or failed.
It's still not perfect, as several failure scenarios are not handled,
but it's an improvement.
We move the session address to the top-level struct, since it's needed
in a bunch of places. This change is required for the rate-limiting
code that is coming next.
Improve the logic when choosing addresses to connect to. Previously we
would wait much too long, even for good addresses. This was especially a
problem when the reason for disconnection was simply a node restart.
As a starting point, we populate the address book (if empty) with some
bootstrap nodes which are trusted.
To prevent these nodes being connected to during tests (including e2e
tests), we create a new constructor for `Config` that is used in tests.
Note that a `cfg(test)` check is not enough given that e2e tests don't
have that set.
Instead of using a command name plus arguments, we use a new `Command`
enum that is similar to the one in `radicle_node::service`. This way,
we're able to have more complex commands and parsing is simplified.
It turns out that the CRDT formed by the union of Git DAGs
is enough to guarantee everything we need for COBs.
This changes the following things:
* COB operations no longer need to be commutative
* COB histories are traversed in the same deterministic order on all
replicas
* It's now possible to implement RSMs on top of COBs, eg. scripting
* Lamport clocks have been removed
* `radicle-crdt` is no longer a dependency of `radicle`
* COBs are no longer instances of `Semilattice`
* The `Ops` type was removed in favor of having `Op` contain multiple
actions
This commit addresses a workaround previously implemented to
include the SQLite library bundled inside the binary.
The upstream have successfully merged the patch that implements this
solution [1], allowing us to safely incorporate it
into our codebase.

Help users confirm all their radicle binary versions by providing the
'--version' flag.
Move the print_version function to the radicle crate for use by the node
and remote-rad binaries, and remove tests to confirm the output format
as it is deemed redundant.

Instead of asking for the passphrase in `radicle-node`, we expect the
`RAD_PASSPHRASE` env var to be set.
This keeps `radicle-node` simpler and lower level, while the passphrase
prompt is still available via `rad node start`.
This new trait is used when only signing refs is needed, and not general
write access to a repository.
We also implement `ReadRepository` and `SignRepository` for
`DraftStore`.
The tracking database can be opened in read-only or read-write
mode. Knowing which is being used is significant in concurrent
scenarios, e.g. it's safer to have a read-only handle on multiple
threads.
Provide static type information by signifying what kind of database
handle is being worked with, read or read-write.

This is a fairly substantial change, which adds a new configuration file
to the user's `$RAD_HOME` that includes node configuration, including
the alias, and also makes node aliases required.
When running `rad auth`, the user is now prompted for an alias, which
defaults to `$USER`.
When running `rad self`, the alias is now shown.
If the user runs radicle without a config file, the defaults are loaded,
and `$USER` is used as the alias.
* Add `--home` flag
* Organize the information better

For the purposes of debugging running nodes, it's useful to know which
threads are doing what. This allows tools like `htop` to reveal which
threads are running.
We consolidate the setup done by `rad checkout`, `rad clone` and `rad
remote add`, so that they all check for node aliases, and are all
capable of setting up tracking branches etc.
