This PR makes the use of the
casandxorbterms consistent. Previously, "cas" (for content addressed store) could simultaneously refer to either the remote server or the data bytes stored as a collection of chunks. After the renames in this PR, we consistently usexorbto refer to the data object and cas to refer to the remote server.This renames quite a few places; to aid in rebasing current work or updating downstream dependencies, this PR includes a file
API_UPDATES.mdthat can be fed into an AI agent to quickly and accurately perform the renaming on any downstream dependencies.
