Position

Ctx<Position> binds the delivery's place in the file; seeking back to it redelivers exactly that message.

Position is a context key of the stream file form. Ctx(at): Ctx<Position> binds a FilePosition, and for a delivery it is always FilePosition::Sequence(n): the message's number under its key, counted from one. The value is pinned: a seek to it delivers that same message again, then the rest of the log in order. Stored, it is the checkpoint a later run hands to start_at. The same number travels in the delivery's stream-sequence header (SEQUENCE_HEADER), which each element of a batch carries too. In the manual form the body names FileContext as its context, impl Handle<Order, Reply, (), FileContext>, and reads ctx.context(Position).

Example

Each invoice records the sequence of the order it was made from.
