If its rul take the change, the two policies disagree, which it logs. A change whose dependencies haven't come yet waits for them. +A node judges what it receives whether its document has a policy yet or not, each +change by the policy it was written under: a joining node judges its first sync, the +policy's own change and everything after it, as every other node does. While neither +its document nor what it receives holds a policy, it judges only that a root is the +epoch's, and nothing costs more than applying the changes. + What it doesn't do yet: * **Prove the user.** A change is its node's (with signatures required, proven) and its claimed user's: a member could claim a user its operator doesn't have. -* **Judge a joining node's first sync.** An empty document has no policy: what it gets - from the node it joins through is taken as it is, as that node judged it. -* **Agree at once.** The policy applies as each node gets it: a change received between - the policy's arrival on one node and on another may be refused by one and kept by - the other. A node that doesn't know the policy (another version, or a setting it lacks) takes no writes through the API (`409`) and receives without judging, until it is upgraded. |
