The web's generic list registries still decide per resource …
Table of Contents
This page is a capture in the inbox bucket of the product backlog — a pre-sprint idea, not yet pulled into a sprint as a story.
1. What
records.ts and classifications.ts in projects/ores.web/packages/wire-protocol
carry an asOf flag per resource, and the generic list adds as_of to its
request only where the flag is set. Since PR 2683 every generated entity list
accepts as_of, so the flag no longer says anything about the server.
2. Why
A resource without the flag cannot ask for a past instant, though the server
would answer. A list without as_of still gets the current rows, so nothing is
wrong today; the gap is a capability the web does not offer. Retire the flag,
or set it everywhere, so every list can offer the point-in-time read.
3. References
- Honour as_of on every generated list read – the change that made every list accept
as_of.
