//! Support for selecting as-ofs of compute dataflows during system initialization.
//!
//! The functionality implemented here is invoked by the coordinator during its bootstrap process.
//! Ideally, it would be part of the controller and transparent to the coordinator, but that's
//! difficult to reconcile with the current controller API. For now, we still make the coordinator
//! worry about as-of selection but keep the implementation in a compute crate because it really is
//! a compute implementation concern.
//!
//! The as-of selection process takes a list of `DataflowDescription`s, determines compatible
//! as-ofs for the compute collections they export, and augments the `DataflowDescription`s with
//! these as-ofs.
//!
//! For each compute collection, the as-of selection process keeps an `AsOfBounds` instance that
//! tracks a lower and an upper bound for the as-of the collection may get assigned. Throughout the
//! process, a collection's `AsOfBounds` get repeatedly refined, by increasing the lower bound and
//! decreasing the upper bound. The final upper bound is then used for the collection as-of. Using
//! the upper bound maximizes the chances of compute reconciliation being effective, and minimizes
//! the amount of historical data that must be read from the dataflow sources.
//!
//! Refinement of `AsOfBounds` is performed by applying `Constraint`s to collections. A
//! `Constraint` specifies which bound should be refined to which frontier. A `Constraint` may be
//! "hard" or "soft", which determines how failure to apply it is handled. Failing to apply a hard
//! constraint is treated as an error, failing to apply a soft constraint is not. If a constraint
//! fails to apply, the respective `AsOfBounds` are refined as much as possible (to a single
//! frontier) and marked as "sealed". Subsequent constraint applications against the sealed bounds
//! are no-ops. This is done to avoid log noise from repeated constraint application failures.
//!
//! Note that failing to apply a hard constraint does not abort the as-of selection process for the
//! affected collection. Instead the failure is handled gracefully by logging an error and
//! assigning the collection a best-effort as-of. This is done, rather than panicking or returning
//! an error and letting the coordinator panic, to ensure the availability of the system. Ideally,
//! we would instead mark the affected dataflow as failed/poisoned, but such a mechanism doesn't
//! currently exist.
//!
//! The as-of selection process applies constraints in order of importance, because once a
//! constraint application fails, the respective `AsOfBounds` are sealed and later applications
//! won't have any effect. This means hard constraints must be applied before soft constraints, and
//! more desirable soft constraints should be applied before less desirable ones.
//!
//! # `AsOfBounds` Invariants
//!
//! Correctness requires two invariants of `AsOfBounds` of dependent collections:
//!
//!  (1) The lower bound of a collection is >= the lower bound of each of its inputs.
//!  (2) The upper bound of a collection is >= the upper bound of each of its inputs.
//!
//! Each step of the as-of selection process needs to ensure that these invariants are upheld once
//! it completes. The expectation is that each step (a) performs local changes to either the
//! `lower` _or_ the `upper` bounds of some collections and (b) invokes the appropriate
//! `propagate_bounds_*` method to restore the invariant broken by (a).
//!
//! For steps that behave as described in (a), we can prove that (b) will always succeed in
//! applying the bounds propagation constraints:
//!
//! | Let `A` and `B` be any pair of collections where `A` is an input of `B`.
//! | Before (a), both invariants are upheld, i.e. `A.lower <= B.lower` and `A.upper <= B.upper`.
//! |
//! | Case 1: (a) increases `A.lower` and/or `B.lower` to `A.lower'` and `B.lower'`
//! |     Invariant (1) might be broken, need to prove that it can be restored.
//! |     Case 1.a: `A.lower' <= B.lower'`
//! |         Invariant (1) is still upheld without propagation.
//! |     Case 1.b: `A.lower' > B.lower'`
//! |         A collection's lower bound can only be increased up to its upper bound.
//! |         Therefore, and from invariant (2): `A.lower' <= A.upper <= B.upper`
//! |         Therefore, propagation can set `B.lower' = A.lower'`, restoring invariant (1).
//! | Case 2: (a) decreases `A.upper` and/or `B.upper`
//! |     Invariant (2) might be broken, need to prove that it can be restored.
//! |     The proof is equivalent to Case 1.
