I pushed a bunch of commits that attempted to introduce
the concept of `client_message_id` into our server, as
part of cleaning up our codepaths related to messages you
sent (both for the locally echoed case and for the host
case).
When we deployed this, we had some strange failures involving
double-echoed messages and issues advancing the pointer that appeared
related to #5779. We didn't get to the bottom of exactly why the PR
caused havoc, but I decided there was a cleaner approach, anyway.
We now use a client-side message id to track the state of our
sent messages. This sets up future commits to start tracking
state earlier in the message's life cycle.
It also avoids ugly reify logic where we capture an event to
update our data structure to key on the server's message id
instead of the local id. That eliminates the node test as well.
Another node test gets deleted here, just because it's not
worth the trouble with upcoming refactorings.
This is mostly straightforward moving of code out of compose.js.
The code that was moved currently supports sending time
reports for sent messages, but we intend to grow out the new
module to track more state about sent messages.
The following function names in this commit are new, but their
code was basically pulled over verbatim:
process_success (was process_send_time)
set_timer_for_restarting_event_loop
clear
initialize
All the code in the new module is covered by previous tests that
had been written for compose.js. This commit only modifies
a few things to keep those tests.
The new module has 100% node coverage, so we updated `enforce_fully_covered`.
