/// A resource in BFFH has to contain several different parts;
/// - Currently set state
/// - Execution state of attached actors (⇒ BFFH's job)
/// - Output of interal logic of a resource
/// ⇒ Resource logic gets read access to set state and write access to output state.
/// ⇒ state `update` happens via resource logic. This logic should do access control. If the update
///   succeeds then BFFH stores those input parameters ("set" state) and results / output state.
///   Storing input parameters is relevant so that BFFH can know that an "update" is a no-op
///   without having to run the module code.
/// ⇒ in fact actors only really care about the output state, and shouldn't (need to) see "set"
/// state.
/// ⇒ example reserving:
///   - Claimant sends 'update' message with a new state
///     - Doesn't set the state until `update` has returned Ok.
///   - This runs the `update` function with that new state and the claimants user context returning
///     either an Ok or an Error.
///     - Error is returned to Claimant to show user, stop.
///   - On ok:
///     - Commit new "set" state, storing it and making it visible to all other claimants
///     - Commit new output state, storing it and notifying all connected actors / Notify
/// ⇒ BFFHs job in this whole ordeal is:
///   - Message passing primitives so that update message are queued
///   - As reliable as possible storage system for input and output state
///   - Again message passing so that updates are broadcasted to all Notify and Actors.
/// ⇒ Resource module's job is:
///   - Validating updates semantically i.e. are the types correct
///   - Check authorization of updates i.e. is this user allowed to do that
