KIO: A Story of Young and Old Jobs
summary
History of KIO jobs is rewritten into smaller, testable units: the code extracts a launcher job, an application-launcher job and an open-url job that replace the old monolithic kio/karen behavior, keep socket-backed IO slaves, and use job delegates for progress and errors. The change exposes gaps for QML (no open-with or desktop-security dialogs), keeps the old auto-start vs explicit start inconsistency for now, and works functionally but leaves design questions about delegates, start semantics and replacing external slaves with threads.
