Purpose

The purpose of @fluidframework/protocol-base is:

• Manage the lifetime of Quorum and proposals that needs to be consistent across client and service.
• Manage git implementation which takes in a summary object and returns it mode/type.

Quorum and Proposal

A quorum proposal transitions between two states: propose and accept.

A proposal begins in the propose state. The proposal is sent to the server and receives a sequence number which is used to uniquely identify it. Clients within the collaboration window accept the proposal by allowing their reference sequence number to go above the sequence number for the proposal. Once the minimum sequence number goes above the sequence number for the proposal without it is considered accepted.
