"""WorkEnv is a context manager and API for high-level operations.

A work environment is used by request handlers for the legacy UI, v1
API, and v2 API.  The WorkEnvironment operations are a common code
path that does permission checking, input validation, coordination of
service-level calls, follow-up tasks (e.g., triggering
notifications after certain operations) and other systemic
functionality so that that code is not duplicated in multiple request
handlers.

Responsibilities of request handers (legacy UI and external API) and associated
frameworks:
+ API: check oauth client allowlist or XSRF token
+ Rate-limiting
+ Create a MonorailContext (or MonorailRequest) object:
  - Parse the request, including syntactic validation, e.g, non-negative ints
  - Authenticate the requesting user
+ Call the WorkEnvironment to perform the requested action
  - Catch exceptions and generate error messages
+ UI: Decide screen flow, and on-page online-help
+ Render the result business objects as UI HTML or API response protobufs

Responsibilities of WorkEnv:
+ Most monitoring, profiling, and logging
+ Apply business rules:
  - Check permissions
    - Every GetFoo/GetFoosDict method will assert that the user can view Foo(s)
  - Detailed validation of request parameters
  - Raise exceptions to indicate problems
+ Make coordinated calls to the services layer to make DB changes
  - E.g., calls may need to be made in a specific order
+ Enqueue tasks for background follow-up work:
  - E.g., email notifications

Responsibilities of the Services layer:
+ Individual CRUD operations on objects in the database
  - Each services class should be independent of others
+ App-specific interface around external services:
  - E.g., GAE search, GCS, monorail-predict
+ Business object caches
+ Breaking large operations into batches as appropriate for the underlying
  data storage service, e.g., DB shards and search engine indexing.
