* Sliding Sync Architecture - MSC https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575
*
* This is a holistic summary of the changes made to Element-Web / React SDK / JS SDK to enable sliding sync.
* This summary will hopefully signpost where developers need to look if they want to make changes to this code.
*
* At the lowest level, the JS SDK contains an HTTP API wrapper function in client.ts. This is used by
* a SlidingSync class in JS SDK, which contains code to handle list operations (INSERT/DELETE/SYNC/etc)
* and contains the main request API bodies, but has no code to control updating JS SDK structures: it just
* exposes an EventEmitter to listen for updates. When MatrixClient.startClient is called, callers need to
* provide a SlidingSync instance as this contains the main request API params (timeline limit, required state,
* how many lists, etc).
*
* The SlidingSyncSdk INTERNAL class in JS SDK attaches listeners to SlidingSync to update JS SDK Room objects,
* and it conveniently exposes an identical public API to SyncApi (to allow it to be a drop-in replacement).
*
* At the highest level, SlidingSyncManager contains mechanisms to tell UI lists which rooms to show,
* and contains the core request API params used in Element-Web. It does this by listening for events
* emitted by the SlidingSync class and by modifying the request API params on the SlidingSync class.
*
* (entry point) (updates JS SDK)
* SlidingSyncManager SlidingSyncSdk
