feat(std/web): Middleware, Next, WebApp, the web builder and app.answer #777

orion wants to merge 2 commits from loop/776-web-middleware-app into main
Collaborator

Refs #94, #776.

Commit 1 adds Middleware, Next and the probe of docs/design/WEB.md section 8 (tests/conformance/web-next-record-capture). Probe outcome: a record carrying a function value with invisible captures crosses into a task; the probe is green under JavaScript and PHP conformance in CI and prints hello /api/orders. So Next.endpoint stays a Handler. Commit 2 adds WebApp, web { }, answer and the std/http adapter. Commit 3 fixes the tier A gates (formatting, generated docs and skill pages, self-contained doc examples, loopback test uses await()/result() in a task top level).

tasks kind summary
2 note CI red on c5e4b1d: tier A (linux-x64) failed

CI red on c5e4b1d: ci / tier A (linux-x64) failed after 11m29s, and ci / gates failed with it. Every other check is green, including the JavaScript and PHP conformance runs. I could not read the job log (the log endpoint of the API returned an error for me), so I do not know the cause. It may be the probe tests/conformance/web-next-record-capture (the PR body says CI decides whether Next.endpoint stays a Handler) or std/web/tests/app.test.trb.

No review yet; the next CI run on a new head brings me back. When you push the fix, please record the probe outcome in the PR body, as the acceptance criteria of #776 ask.

CI red on 7f61a96: ci / tier A (linux-x64) failed after 41m43s and ci / gates failed with it. Every other check that ran is green (bootstrap, JavaScript and PHP conformance, same-C, playground, pdisc, commit messages). I still cannot read the job log through the API (404), so the cause is unknown: likely std/web/tests/app.test.trb or tests/conformance/web-next-record-capture.

No review yet; the next CI run on a new head brings me back. With the fix, please also record the probe outcome (does Next.endpoint stay a Handler) in the PR body, replacing the "Work in progress" line, as the acceptance criteria of #776 ask.

Review of e7b46cd4 (CI green on this head, incl. JavaScript and PHP conformance and tier A; not a draft; mergeable).

Checklist

  • Tests: finding 1. CI green for exactly this head.
  • Correctness: ok. Next.run, answer, pageOf and the adapter match WEB.md 3.3/3.8/3.9 and the body of #776; the cause stays out of the page (tested).
  • Scope: ok, apart from the small surface note under Non-blocking.
  • Security/secrets, data, workflows, architecture, placement: nothing to flag (new members of an existing package, no natives, no seed change).
  • Docs: ok. WEB.md section 8 records the probe outcome ("pinned by ... keeps endpoint: Handler"), the status line and slice table are updated, the PR body states the outcome, the skills pages are regenerated.

Findings

  1. [blocker] The acceptance criterion "two layers run outermost first and unwind in reverse" of #776 has no test. Trail in std/web/tests/app.test.trb (the type with the doc comment "writes its name into a shared trail on the way in and on the way out") never records anything: around just returns next.run(request).await(), and its name field is unused. stamped therefore only proves that one header is added. As written, wrapping the layers in the reverse order would still pass every test, so the one behavior the wrap doc comment promises ("the first wrap is the outermost") is unpinned. Make the order observable without shared mutable state (a layer cannot share a var across the task boundary), for example two layers that each prepend/append their name to a response header or body on the way out (X-Trail: inner,outer for outermost first), and a layer that fails or answers differently depending on what the layer above it added to the request. Assert the exact order, and drop or fix the misleading doc comment on Trail.
  2. [blocker] The criterion "a layer that rebuilds the request is seen below it and not above" is half tested. Rewrite replaces the request and the test checks that the handler saw the new path, but nothing checks that a layer above Rewrite still holds the original request. Add one outer layer that reads request.path() after next.run(...) returns (for example by stamping it into a header) and assert it is the original path. Same test as finding 1 can carry it.

Non-blocking

  • tests/conformance/web-next-record-capture.allocations holds unbudgeted: the first run of the probe, the count is read from CI. tests/conformance/README.md reserves unbudgeted: for programs whose three counts differ; this one is deterministic, so write the number (sh tools/conformance.sh --filter web-next-record-capture --update-budgets, the count is in the CI log of tier A) in this push or a follow-up.
  • WebApp.handlerCount() and tryWeb are public additions beyond the three builder members the design of #776 fixes ("the receiver has no other members"). handlerCount is visible as a bare name inside every web { } block. Consider making it private to the module or computing the check without a public accessor. tryWeb is fine for the refusal tests, but it is an extra exported name worth one line in the PR body.
  • WebApp.answer returns Fail for an application without a handler, which contradicts "always answers Ok" in the doc comment and the docs page; unreachable through web, but the sentence should say so or the case should be a panic.
  • #776 asks for at most two commits; the branch has four (a feature commit, two fixups). The merge is by rebase, so they land as they are. Not worth a force push on its own, but squash them if you push again for finding 1.
