// Package proxycfg contains components for sourcing the data required to
// configure Connect proxies. The Manager provides an API with which proxy
// services can be registered, and coordinates the fetching (and refreshing)
// of intentions, upstreams, discovery chain, certificates etc. Consumers
// such as the xDS server can then subscribe to receive snapshots of this
// data whenever it changes.
//
// Consul client agents support the configuration of proxies locally
// registered to them, whereas Consul servers support both this and proxies
// in the catalog.
//
// The following diagram depicts the component relationships on a server, as
// this is the more complex mode of operation:

//
// 1. local.Sync watches the agent's local state for changes.
// 2. If any sidecar proxy or gateway services are registered to the local agent
// they are sync'd to the proxycfg.Manager.
// 2a. proxycfg.Manager creates a state object for the service and begins
// pre-fetching data (go to 8).
// 3. Client begins a stream and the xDS server calls Watch on its ConfigSource -
// on a client agent this would be a local config source, on a server it would
// be a catalog config source.
// 4. The catalog config source will check if service is registered locally.
// 4a. If the service *is* registered locally it hands off the the local config
// source, which calls Watch on the proxycfg manager (and serves the pre-
// fetched data).
// 5. Otherwise, it fetches the service from the state store.
// 6. It calls Watch on the proxycfg manager.
// 7. It registers the service with the proxycfg manager.
// 7a. See: 2a.
// 8. xDS server receives snapshots of configuration data whenever it changes.
