Applications

[Twey]

Adds the ability to query application services from Web pages.

• bumps linera-protocol to a version that supports threading on Wasm
• moves the client worker into a Manifest v3 offscreen document, where it has access to Web workers
• splits the client worker API more cleanly into Client (accessible from the extension itself) and Frontend (accessible from Web pages) APIs, removing the need for the dapp_ prefix hack
• adds an API call Frontend::query_application(&self, application_id: &str, query: &str) for querying application services

Could the type changed to get_wallet_request?

[Twey]

I think this field should be read as ‘request type’ rather than ‘object type’. So noting that it's a request is redundant. The fact that it's a request, not a response or some other type of event, should always be clear based on the source of the object — this field exists just to distinguish it from other types of request.

(I'm not super happy with this protocol in general — I'll probably try to move it to Zod in the future. Thankfully in #16 it becomes internal anyway.)

Since the HashMap gets serialized into the output, the output could vary from one run to another. So, maybe it is better to use BTreeMap here.

[Twey]

It's being serialized into a JavaScript object, which anyway doesn't preserve property order — so I don't think it's useful to use a BTreeMap in this case.
