Architecture vocabulary

• Module — one .pudu file and its mirrored page under wiki/src/.
• Request / Response / Content — what is sent, what comes back, and a body with its headers. See [[domain/Message]].
• Handler — one delegating layer that sees a request, may call the rest, and sees the outcome. See [[seams/Handler]].
• Primary handler — the innermost sender: a transport, a stub, or the program's own. See [[seams/Primary]].
• Pipeline — handlers composed around a primary handler. See [[domain/Pipeline]].
• Observer — a pair of handlers placed outside and inside every other handler. See [[seams/Observer]].
• Transport — the pooled keep-alive primary handler. See [[domain/Connection]].
• Route / Lease / Hop — where a connection goes, permission to use one, and one request on it.
• Builder / Entry / Generation — a name's configuration, one built pipeline, and its number. See [[domain/Lifetime]].
• Client — a pipeline plus the defaults every request through it gets.
• Listener / Event — a plain function told about requests and pipelines. See [[domain/Events]] and [[seams/Listeners]].
• Outcome / Failure — a value or why there is none. See [[domain/Outcome]].
