The situation:

  • Landscape desk ships with /lib/strandio, from which its threads use a couple of arms.
  • Prerelease versions of landscape desk signal 411 compatibility.
  • 411 changed the shape of ames' %keen task.
  • /lib/strandio contains helpers for building %keen tasks. So, it changes across the kelvin version in a non-compatible way.
  • All versions of the landscape desk out there still include the old /lib/strandio.

The minimal fix is the combination of this PR, and a (likely manual) ops step where we pull in the zuse 411 version of /lib/strandio from the urbit/urbit repo's /pkg/base-dev.

A more involved but lower-user-impact fix would be to signal compatibility with both 412 and 411, and update the /lib/strandio on the landscape desk to exclude the +keen arms the "official" version includes. Landscape desk doesn't use them itself.
Update: urbit/urbit now has a tlon/strandio-412-411 from which that file can be pulled.

cc @arthyn @mrozanski for ops advice, cc @pkova for having called discovered this.

We're going to want to pull in the new /lib/strandio, which we need to
be able to build. The signature for %keen changed, so the old
/lib/strandio no longer compiles.

If we had a custom version of /lib/strandio that excluded the +keen
arms, we could be 412-411 cross-compatible...
