coordinator/tributary was tributary-chain. This crate has been renamed
tributary-sdk and moved to coordinator/tributary-sdk.
coordinator/src/tributary was our instantion of a Tributary, the Transaction
type and scan task. This has been moved to coordinator/tributary.
The main reason for this was due to coordinator/main.rs becoming untidy. There
is now a collection of clean, independent APIs present in the codebase.
coordinator/main.rs is to compose them. Sometimes, these compositions are a bit
silly (reading from a channel just to forward the message to a distinct
channel). That's more than fine as the code is still readable and the value
from the cleanliness of the APIs composed far exceeds the nits from having
these odd compositions.
This breaks down a bit as we now define a global database, and have some APIs
interact with multiple other APIs.
coordinator/src/tributary was a self-contained, clean API. The recently added
task present in coordinator/tributary/mod.rs, which bound it to the rest of the
Coordinator, wasn't.
Now, coordinator/src is solely the API compositions, and all self-contained
APIs are their own crates.
[0; 32] is a magic for no block has been set yet due to this being the first
key pair. If [0; 32] is the latest finalized block, the processor determines
an activation block based on timestamps.
This doesn't use an Option for ergonomic reasons.
It originally wasn't an enum so software which had yet to update before an
integration wouldn't error (as now enums are strictly typed). The strict typing
is preferable though.
SubstrateBlock's provision of the most recently acknowledged block has
equivalent information with the same latency. Accordingly, there's no need for
it.
