+# Wake-up Instructions
+
+## Background
+This branch is intended to update the entire project from Rust 1.63 to 1.84 (or whatever is current when you wake it 
+up).
+
+It has been a long, long time in the making. The major changes are:
+
+* Futures are now handled by the new async/await syntax. 
+* The clap library has been updated over breaking changes.
+* The web3 library has been updated over breaking changes.
+
+## Current Conditions
+The project is now in a state where it can be built and the tests run, but many tests don't pass, and many more wedge
+and run forever--or sometimes the test runner aborts without running all the tests.
+
+This branch is far, far behind the master branch, so there will be a major merge effort when the time comes.
+
+One of the biggest discrepancies between this branch and master is the BlockchainBridge and BlockchainInterface, both
+of which have been essentially rewritten. Therefore, lots of glue code between the blockchain logic and the rest of
+the application has been commented out to enable building and running the tests.
+
+## Future Directions
+1. Get as many tests passing as possible, given all the commented-out code.
+2. Merge in master, redesigning whatever has to be redesigned, driving the redesigns with tests that won't yet run.
+3. Eliminate all the compile errors.
+4. Get the tests passing.
+5. Make a pass through the code looking for //TODOs and todo!()s.

+            * There is a type designed to hold the parsed value of this parameter called NodeDescriptor.

+            * We can't pull NodeDescriptor up here because it depends on a lot of other types that
+            * are only known down in the node subproject, and we don't want to pull all those up
+            * here. A solution that has been attempted in the past is to parse the Node descriptors
+            * into NodeAddr structures instead, which _are_ available up here in masq_lib, because
+            * we don't really need the Chain element that NodeDescriptors provide. However, this

+            * public key. We don't know what PublicKeys are up here in masq_lib, as a matter of fact.
+            * So we're doing minimal comma-separated-list parsing here in shared_schema, along with
+            * a bit of regular-expression validation, and leaving the serious validation and parsing
+            * to NodeDescriptor down in the node subproject, where PublicKeys and NodeDescriptors
+            * are known types. We'll find it here if the user does something big wrong; the Node

+//The issues we are to solve might look as follows:
+
+// 1) Our mockable objects are never Clone themselves (as it would break Rust trait object
+// safeness) and therefore they cannot be captured unless you use a reference which is
+// practically impossible with that mock strategy we use,
+// 2) You can get only very limited information from downcasting: you can inspect the guts, yes,
+// but it can hardly ever answer your question if the object you're looking at is the same which
+// you've pasted in before at the other end.
+// 3) Using raw pointers to link the real memory address to your objects does not lead to good
+// results in all cases (It was found confusing and hard to be done correctly or even impossible
+// to implement especially for references pointing to a dereferenced Box that was originally
+// supplied as an owned argument into the testing environment at the beginning, or we can
+// suspect the memory link already broken because of moves of the owned boxed instance
+// around the subjected code)
+
+// Advice is given here to use the convenient macros provided further in this module. Their easy
+// implementation should spare some work for you.
+
+// Note for future maintainers:
+// Since trait objects cannot be Cloned, when you find an arbitrary ID on an object, you
+// know that that ID must have been set on that specific object, and not on some other object
+// from which this object was Cloned.
