Do the ASGI dotted lines at the top make use of a httpx AsyncClient / starlette TestClient (or something similar)?

Maybe add web browser to the left-most orange box? "e.g. web browser, curl, HTTPie" Meaning the raw output, rather than the tiled web UI. It can be a simple baseline...

Oooh, that's a fun idea. I've been kicking around ideas for notifying me and/or beamline users about the status of a beamline or experiment. RSS seems less intrusive than email...

I suppose it could be a fairly universal/open pub-sub mechanism for kicking off data processing events when a (completed) new file arrives. But there is, of course, a distinction between...

@prjemian : I'm having some difficulty with the concepts of the "filter" and "sort" parameters for the search query. Does the `sort=time` key-value pair automagically find every (sub-)field named "time"...

If the search is finding a (non-unique) field named "time", can I be more specific in the query? Maybe something like `sort=start.time`?

...and can sort direction (ASC vs DESC) be specified for pagination in the HTTP API?

I realize I'm being a pain here. I'm also happy to help with testing and updating documentation if you can point me the right direction. :)
