Research direction

Start with the linked discussion in oxidecomputer/omicron#9780, especially discussion_r2761034967, to understand the inconsistent requests between dueling nexus instances. Then locate dendrite's API request definitions and determine the generation-number semantics and affected request paths; done means the API can deconflict those inconsistencies.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Per

it's possible to have dueling nexus instances making inconsistent requests to dendrite. If we add generation numbers to the API, dendrite could deconflict these inconsistencies.
