- Each tool can have a number of deployments which are rolled out over time. Clients can specify a "phase" value indicating where in the queue they want to take updates (ie. whether they want to be early- or late-adopters), and deployments can be paused and cancelled.
- Tool channels are configured through the global configuration file. Tools can be marked "public", meaning that they do not require authentication against Horde for access. This can be useful for auto-update scenarios.
- The most recent 5 deployments are kept in the tool at any time.
The collection and controller implementation here is an experiment in reducing the amount of boilerplate currently adopted as a pattern in Horde. Notably:
- Model and collection classes are concrete rather than interfaces (since we don't generally mock them anyway).
- The same model class with annotations is used for response objects (paving the way to supporting patching and filtering using the same public model as the internal model).
- The VersionedCollection class is used to handle automatic migration of documents across schema versions, and cache document values with Redis.
- MongoDB property names are explicit and short, rather than just taking variable names.

- Fix serialization of lists, directories and arrays that are set to null.
- Throw an exception when serializing a type that does not have any explicit compact binary field attributes. This is usually an error, caused by serializing a framework type with no matching converter, but can also occur when serializing an empty base class instance. To handle these situations, the class can be marked with [CbObject] to explicitly opt-in to being valid for serialization.

The base class in a hierarchy must have the [CbPolymorphic] attribute, and derived classes must have the [CbDiscriminator] attribute, giving an identifier to indicate the derived type.
