While the total notification count and the notification count by repo
are needed, for most UIs users will want to see the total notification
count grouped by repo.
This new method will provide this without the need of checking all
possible repos to see if they have notifications.
Add the `rad unblock` command for reversing the effect of blocking an NID or RID.
In both cases, the entry is removed from the DB, if the policy was set to block
-- otherwise it is a no-op.
1. Adds a user-agent string to the node announcement. This lets us keep
track of what software version everyone is running. Especially useful
to see what percentage of the network has upgraded to a new release.
For old nodes, this defaults to the string `/radicle/`.
The user agent format is roughly based on BIP 0014.
2. Advertize protocol version in node announcement.
By advertizing the protocol version, nodes can decide to only connect to
peers with a compatible version. The default and current version is `1`.
We bundle these two changes as they both modify the node announcement
and node database.
3. Swap the order of the fields in announcements to make the message
extensible.
This prevents potential memory leaks. We also ensure that sends fail
instead of blocking, in case the channels are full.
Additionally, we add some metrics to report on channel size.
Previously, our advertized inventory was not always correct: when we
stopped seeding a repository, it was still advertised as part of our
inventory until node restart, because the `Storage` type doesn't have
access to seeding policies.
In this change, we remove the concept of inventory from `Storage` and
make the authoritative place for it the routing table in our database.
To make this work, we have to add our node to the database on profile
creation, to not violate the foreign key constraint on the routing
table. Hence, the tests are changed to include our alias which is now
always available.
This is a change to the `config.json` file which removes certain options
that are best not touched and changes some options to make them easier
to work with.
1. We change the default journaling mode to "wal" and remove the config
option.
2. We remove the option to set the peer connection "target", as it's not
a good idea to set this to a different value, as it affects the
network.
3. We combine seeding policy & scope, since there's no need to set the
scope when the policy is "block". In that case, we always want to
block "all" remotes. The new policy configuration has the following
schema:
{ seedingPolicy: { default: "block" | "allow", scope?: "all" | "followed" } }
The "scope" key is not used when "default" is set to "block".
4. We add an `extra` field to the node config for options that are not
recognized. We use this to warn the user.
We use the *staggered broadcast* technique when relaying gossip messages
to reduce message amplification. In our basic simulation, it brings
amplification down from 3.5 to 1.5.
The idea is simply to accumulate gossip messages and relay them after a fixed
interval of time. This has two effects:
1) Old messages that haven't been sent yet are replaced by newer ones,
so only one message is sent after the delay.
2) Because nodes have their own intervals, messages are not all sent at
the same time, which reduces the chance of messages crossing paths.
For now we only turn this on for inventory messages, since this is the
least likely to be noticed by users, and also the most problematic
currently.
Introduce an `UploadPack` type for keeping track of relevant data from
upload-pack events and displaying progress to the terminal.
It keeps track of the number of remotes that are being uploaded to as well as
the throughput of transmitted data.
The `Progress` events are logged rather than being displayed since they don't
provide any useful details to the user.

*Breaking change* The `tor` configuration field is no longer
supported. Users must remove that field from their config.
Allows for a mixed mode, where regular addresses bypass the Tor proxy,
while onion addresses go through it.
When `onion.mode` is set to "forward", Tor connections are fowarded to
the global proxy, and if it isn't set, to the OS's DNS resolution.
For mixed mode, a global proxy simply isn't set, so that IP/DNS is not
proxied.
The previous banning implementation didn't work, since it included port
numbers in the address value.
Here, we keep a separate table with (node, ip) pairs and update this
table when a node connects or is banned.
Add a variant for upload-pack events to allow reporting from the upload-pack
process.

If our inventory hasn't updated, don't issue a new inventory
announcement, simply use the previous message.
This avoids identical inventories propagating over the network and using
up resources.
The rate-limitter gets hit on connect, due to historical gossip messages
being exchanged. This results in a high initial burst that needs to be
accounted for.
Relay now has three values: "always", "never" and "auto".
The first two operate like the previous `true`/`false`. The
new (default) value turns relaying on for nodes with public (external)
addresses and off for nodes without. This should reduce redundant traffic on
the network, that was causing the rate limiters to trigger.
With the increase in traffic on the network after launch, the old
defaults don't make sense anymore.
Longer term, we should look into throttling outgoing messages as well,
prioritizing original messages over relayed messages.
If multiple ids are specified for `rad inbox clear`, it would report
that only 1 item was cleared, when in fact multiple were.
This was found to be due to the SQL code returning a change count of
`1`. This is likely due to the way the statement is being reset each
time. The `sqlite` library does not seem to easily support the usage
of `IN` in a `WHERE` clause. So instead, the `count` is aggregated in
the loop and returned instead.

Implement this function on `RemoteRepository`, and move `repositories`
to the trait level.
This function will be used to quickly get the `RefsAt` of all repository
remotes.
When deciding whether or not to fetch a repo based on a refs
announcement, we need to know whether our signed refs are stale or not,
compared to the ones in the announcement. This can be quite expensive as
it requires multiple reads from Git's ODB, which often results in
packfile loading.
To remedy this, we introduce a refs cache in our node database that is
consulted when an announcement is received.
We also remove the logic that generates `info` messages, since they are
rarely needed and introduced more complexity.
Additionally, we revert commit 3ad2b4431f,
which introduced logic to minimze wants and haves with additional logic,
since it potentially also increases the load on the ODB.
When the `rad inbox` command would come across a reference name that
it did not recognise as a `Cob` or `Branch`, then it would fail with
an `Unknown` error.
Instead, add an `Unknown` variant to `NotificationKind` which can be
displayed in the `inbox` CLI, by using the `--show-unknown`
flag. Otherwise, it will be skipped and the inbox will work as usual.
While refactoring, the `TypedId` type is used for the `Cob` variant to
simplify some of its uses.

Previously, authorization was only checked for ops after the root op.
We also avoid creating empty actions for `assign` and `label`, which
was needed for non-authorized users to be able to create issues/patches.
This makes the default policy `block` with scope `all`. The good thing
about this is that you don't have to manage individual nodes in the
beginning. You simply seed the repos you want, and everything is
followed within those repos. This matches user expectations, as `rad
seed` does what you expect it to do.
For open-policy seed nodes, it also means that simply changing `block`
to `allow` from the default config is all you need.
This leaves the non-default `followed` scope as a more "advanced"
setting, since it is much more cumbersome: it forces you to follow a
user before you can see their issues/patches, which is not something
most users expect coming from old-shcool forges.
Shows you updates on local repositories.
Included here is a basic implementation of a notification system. A new
database is created and updated after every fetch, with refs that have
changed.
The `rad inbox` command can then list items in the database and delete
them.
