The apply command now works only from a serialized CBOR data (instead of a UPLC syntax). So it is no longer possible to specify arbitrary cbor terms through the CLI. I believe it to be an acceptable limitation for now; especially given that Aiken will never generate blueprints with non-data terms at the interface boundary.
This calculates a validator's address from validators found in a blueprint. It also provides a convenient way to attach a delegation part to the validator if needs be. The command is meant to provide a nice user experience and works 'out of the box' for projects that have only a single validator. Just call 'aiken address' to get the validator's address.
Note that the command-line doesn't provide any option to configure the target network. This automatically assumes testnet, and will until we deem the project ready for mainnet. Those brave enough to run an Aiken's program on mainnet will find a way anyway.
This also now introduce two levels of representable types (because it's needed at least for tuples):
Plutus Data (a.k.a Data) and UPLC primitives / constants (a.k.a Schema).
In practice, we don't want to specify blueprints that use direct UPLC primitives because there's little support for producing those in the ecosystem. So we should aim for producing only Data whenever we can. Yet we don't want to forbid it either in case people know what they're doing. Which means that we need to capture that difference well in the type modelling (in Rust and in the CIP-0057 specification).
I've also simplified the error type for now, just to provide some degree of feedback while working on this. I'll refine it later with proper errors.
The blueprint is generated at the root of the repository and is
intended to be versioned with the rest. It acts as a business card
that contains many practical information. There's a variety of tools
we can then build on top of open-source contracts. And, quite
importantly, the blueprint is language-agnostic; it isn't specific to
Aiken. So it is really meant as an interop format within the
ecosystem.
