Module local_identity 

Who sits at this device, as far as undo attribution and history authors are concerned: the collab client’s identity seam (collaboration::local_identity), and the person’s photo ready to paint.

Structs

FixedIdentity

A fixed identity, for hosts that learn it once (a certified browser device) and tests.

LocalIdentity

The public half of the local person’s identity.

NoLocalIdentity

A source with no identity.

RuntimeIdentity

The runtime identity bound by the launcher, else the shell’s primary.json for its own unsandboxed in-process apps.

Traits

LocalIdentitySource

Resolves the local person’s identity. Not memoised by callers: a process hosting more than one identity must not be frozen into the first one.

Functions

bound

The identity bound to this process: the installed source, else the runtime identity the launcher bound (feature local-daemons), else none. Unlike load, never the shell’s own primary.json: for callers that fall back to an identity of their own when the launcher bound none.

generation

Changes whenever the host replaces or revokes this process’s identity.

install_source

Make source the identity of this process, or restore the default (the native runtime identity with local-daemons, else none) with None. Readers see the change on their next load.

load

The local identity from the installed source, else the native runtime identity (feature local-daemons), else none.

own_photo

The local person’s own public photo, ready to paint, if they set one: for apps that show the person beside what they wrote (their own mail).

own_public_photo

The local person’s own public photo, if they set one: for apps that show the person beside what they wrote (their own mail).

photo_for

Resolve a photo only for the exact canonical root public key. Account names and email addresses are never interpreted as the local person.
