Problem:
The use of google.protobuf.Any was making it awkward to work with the
data provided by the user. The structure of the form data is defined by
the platform engineer, so the intent of Any was to wrap the data in a
way we can pass over the network and persist in the database.
The escaped JSON encoding was problematic and error prone to decode on
the other end.
Solution:
Define the Platform values as a two level map with string keys, but with
protobuf message fields "sections" and "fields" respectively. Use
google.protobuf.Value from the struct package to encode the actual
value.
Result:
In TypeScript, google.protobuf.Value encodes and decodes easily to a
JSON value. On the go side, connect correctly handles the value as
well.
No more ugly error prone escaping:
```
❯ grpcurl -H "x-oidc-id-token: $(holos token)" -d '{"platform_id":"'${platformId}'"}' $host holos.v1alpha1.PlatformService.GetConfig
{
"sections": {
"org": {
"fields": {
"contactEmail": "jeff@openinfrastructure.co",
"displayName": "Open Infrastructure Services LLC",
"domain": "ois.run",
"name": "ois"
}
}
}
}
```
This return value is intended to be directly usable in the CUE code, so
we may further nest the values into a platform.spec key.
