/**
* Code and declarations shared by browser and server-side code for handling uploads.
*
* Browser code has several functions available in app/client/lib/uploads.ts which return an
* UploadResult that represents an upload. An upload may contain multiple files.
*
* An upload is identified by a numeric uploadId which is unique within an UploadSet. An UploadSet
* is collection of uploads tied to a browser session (as maintained by app/server/lib/Client).
* When the session ends, all uploads are cleaned up.
*
* The uploadId is useful to identify the upload to the server, which can then consume the actual
* files there. It may also be used to clean up the upload once it is no longer needed.
*
* Files within an upload can be identified by their index in UploadResult.files array. The
* origName available for files is not guaranteed to be unique.
*
* Implementation detail: The upload is usually a temporary directory on the server, but may be a
* collection of non-temporary files when files are selected using Electron's native file picker.
*/
