aion-server 0.26.0

//! The birth claim: taking the home's pid file BEFORE the store opens.
//!
//! The claim runs at stage zero of the boot — after the death note is armed,
//! before configuration is consumed, before the store is opened, before
//! anything that can take minutes. From that instant the home has a record,
//! so `aion server status` can describe the boot, `aion server stop` can stop
//! it, and a second `aion server` on the same home is REFUSED instead of
//! stacking silently behind the store's writer lock.
//!
//! What the claim does with what it finds is the whole design:
//!
//! | found | verdict |
//! |---|---|
//! | nothing | claim |
//! | a dead incarnation's record | claim, reporting the debris |
//! | a reused pid | claim, leaving the stranger alone |
//! | unparseable content | claim, reporting it |
//! | a LIVE incarnation whose addresses collide | **refuse the boot** |
//! | a LIVE incarnation on other addresses | boot UNCLAIMED (legal multi-server home) |
//! | a LIVE incarnation that is DRAINING | **succeed it** |
//!
//! Collision is decided against the addresses this boot INTENDS to bind
//! (resolved config), because at birth nothing is bound yet. A booting
//! sibling with no addresses recorded is ALWAYS a collision: it has not
//! chosen its doors yet, both boots read the same config, and the only
//! honest reading of two boots racing on one home is that they are the same
//! server twice.
