Extremely cruddy implementation:
- I'm still unclear on how to represent the advice function:
- How to handle errors when loading user configuration?
Currently I refuse to start.
- Whole function? More errors to handle in header and so on. What if
the function is renamed?
- Just body? Needs more structured editing support.
- Lots of duplication, particularly between the permissions in the menu
and the permissions screen.
I don't know how to show the hostname at the time of connect() or
bind(), so networking is going to remain a boolean for now. It's also
unclear what effective constraints we can impose on what gets discussed
with a specific hostname. Everything outside the computer is out of
one's control.
One trick I learned is for consistently grabbing ASan logs on abort:
It's always safe to redirect stderr with ncurses!
In the process we now also have a mechanism for Teliva to overlay errors
while apps run. Might make sense to make that available to apps as well.
But I'm starting to realize that any app access to the Teliva areas of
the screen is fraught with risk.
Our sandboxing model is a blunt caricature, just two booleans. But let's
see how far this gets us.
Still doesn't persist, and definitely has no effect.
Current plan:
- two booleans to gate file and network access, respectively
- false shows as green, true shows as orange
- if _both_ booleans are true, then both show as red to indicate that
there are no protections.
It looks like attron doesn't actually enable colors near 256, even
though https://linux.die.net/man/3/attron suggests it does.
