Danielv123 4a49a198f0 Pair hosts when they start instead of in the installer
The installer only writes the controller URL and host name. Running the
host requests to join the cluster if it has not been approved yet, or if
the controller no longer accepts its token, and waits until an admin
approves it. Once approved it saves its id and token and starts as
normal. A rejected host exits with code 8.

clusteriohost run --user-token approves the host right away with the
token of a user allowed to approve hosts. The token is not saved.

This moves the pairing client into the host package, where it uses the
same certificate setup as the host's connection to the controller, and
removes --no-pair and the rerun handling from the installer.

# Migrating Plugins to 2.1
This guide covers the changes needed to bring a plugin written for 2.0 up to 2.1.
Plugins still on an alpha should start with the [2.0 guide](plugin-migration-to-2.0.md).
## Request errors
`RequestError` is gone.
Errors thrown by request handlers are now received by the requester as the same class, see [Request errors](/docs/writing-plugins.md#request-errors).
Replace `RequestError` with the class that fits:
- Invalid input: `ValidationError`.
- Operation disabled by config: `ForbiddenError`.
- Missing instance, user, save etc.: `NotFoundError`.
- Instance running, name taken etc.: `ConflictError`.
- Host not connected, instance not running: `UnavailableError`.
- Timeouts: `TimeoutError`.
`catch` blocks that check `err instanceof RequestError` should check `ClientError` instead, or the specific class.
Checks of `err.code` for remote errors can use `instanceof`, e.g. `err instanceof lib.SessionLost`.
The config errors `lib.InvalidValue`, `lib.InvalidField` and `lib.InvalidAccess` were renamed to `lib.InvalidValueError`, `lib.InvalidFieldError` and `lib.InvalidAccessError`.
Errors of classes that are not registered, like a `TypeError` from a bug, are received as `InternalServerError`.
Plugins that define their own error classes need to list them in `errors` of the plugin declaration.
## Build the web module with Vite
The web interface is now built with Vite instead of webpack, and plugin web modules are loaded as ES modules instead of through Module Federation.
A plugin built with webpack fails to load with the error "Incompatible dist/web/manifest.json, the plugin must be rebuilt with Vite".
Delete `webpack.config.cjs` and add a `vite.config.js` next to `package.json`:
```js
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { clusterioPlugin } from "@clusterio/web_ui/vite.mjs";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [clusterioPlugin()],
});
```
In `package.json` replace `webpack-cli --mode production` in the `prepare` script with `vite build`, and replace the `webpack`, `webpack-cli` and `webpack-merge` dev dependencies with `vite`.
Add `vite.config.js` to `.npmignore` if you had `webpack.config.js` there.
`clusterioPlugin` exposes `index.ts` (or `index.js`) as `"./"`, `package.json` as `"./package.json"` and `web/index.tsx` (or `.ts`, `.jsx`, `.js`) as `"./web"`.
These are the same keys the plugin template used with webpack, so `webEntrypoint: "./web"` stays as it is.
If your webpack config exposed other paths, move the code so it is reachable from `web/index.tsx`.
The web interface provides `@clusterio/lib`, `@clusterio/web_ui`, `@sinclair/typebox`, `antd`, `react`, `react-dom`, `react-router` and `react-router-dom` to plugins.
These are left as imports in the plugin bundle and resolved by the browser, there is no need to list them as shared.
Everything else is bundled into the plugin, including `@ant-design/icons`.
Import `react-dom/client` and `react/jsx-runtime` by those names, other subpaths of the shared packages are bundled as a separate copy.
Imports of `assert`, `buffer`, `events`, `os`, `path`, `process`, `stream`, `util` and `zlib` resolve to the same browser packages as before, provided by `@clusterio/web_ui`.
The `container` property of `WebPluginContext` is now the plugin's ES module namespace, `await container.get("./web")` returns the module instead of a factory function.
`lib.PluginWebpackEnvInfo` is renamed to `lib.PluginWebEnvInfo`.
## Host pairing
Host tokens are no longer generated by users.
A host joins the cluster by having the code it shows when it first starts approved, see [Host pairing](protocol.md#host-pairing) for the HTTP endpoints it uses.
- `HostGenerateTokenRequest` and `HostConfigCreateRequest` are removed.
Pending requests are listed with `HostPairingListRequest`, approved with `HostPairingApproveRequest` and rejected with `HostPairingRejectRequest`, and changes to them are sent to subscribers of `HostPairingUpdatesEvent`.
- `HostRevokeTokensRequest` is replaced by `HostRevokeRequest`, which deletes the host instead of only invalidating its tokens.
It throws `ConflictError` while instances are assigned to the host.
- The permissions `core.host.generate_token`, `core.host.revoke_token` and `core.host.create_config` are removed.
Check `core.host.approve` and `core.host.revoke` instead.
- `clusteriocontroller bootstrap generate-host-token` is removed, scripts that set up hosts can start the host with `--user-token` to approve it with a user token.
Host records are no longer created when a host connects, only by approving it, and the controller rejects hosts it has no record of.
Revoking a host deletes its record and note.
Plugins that keep data per host should remove it when the host is deleted.
On the controller the `update` event of `controller.hosts` gives the record with `isDeleted` set to true, and subscribers of `HostUpdatesEvent` receive the host with `isDeleted` set to true.
A host that is revoked and installed again gets a new id.
