Feature Request

Cross-post from downstream fork input-leap/issues/1964 by @whot:

What happened?

This is a request for documenting the input-leap-internal network protocol so basically:

[X11|Wayland] - [input-leapc] ------------[input-leaps] - [ X11|Wayland]
                                  ^ this bit

AFAICT this is protocol_types.{h,cpp} but the documentation there is insufficient to be independently write a compatible server/client. It'd be nice if there was enough protocol documentation that that would be possible - that would include not only the content of the messages but also when they're allowed to be sent, etc.

Second, and going along with that is a commitment to this being a stable protocol with backwards compatibility. I think that's already true anyway, I just don't know if it's a coincidence or an explicit decision.

Having a stable protocol would make it easier to implement alternative clients, lessening the load on the maintainers a bit.
