Support for Core Writing

[BDQ]

With Core soon to support EDI Writing & Connections we need to prepare Bootstrap to leverage this.

Requirements

Before we support Core Writing in Bootstrap the Partners/Connections API will need to have support for Stedi SFTP, Remote SFTP, AS2 connections at API level at least. File processed events need to have an 'author' property to avoid double processing. This will allow Bootstrap to have a migration script to move all outbound Destinations from Stash to Partners in a single migration.

Bootstrap changes for new users

• [ ] New customers will call Core Writing API directly, so they won't leverage edi-outbound function.
• [ ] 997s generation gets updated to use Core Writing, which will require creating the 997 outbound destination and adding a basic 997 guide.

Bootstrap changes for existing customers

• [ ] The edi-outbound function will be updated to call the Core Writing API. This function will no longer do any delivery / destinations work. We're keeping this function purely for backwards compatibility.
• [ ] Creating a migration script to move all outbound destinations from Stash to the Partners API. Directionality of Stash Destinations will need to be inferred by querying Partnership config (as it's not stored in Stash, Bootstrap today only supports a transaction set traveling in a single direction).
• [ ] Function Destinations will not be migrated to Partners/Connections, instead function destinations should be migrated to an Event Binding (detail-type: file.processed, direction: SENT, plus potentially some other event detail field to indicate the file was created by Core writing).
• [ ] 997 migration will require the creation of the Guides and associating them with Outbound Transaction settings (for each release)

@BDQ when is this meant to land for GA? We have a few migrations coming up, and I'd like to understand this

@RossWilliams and I discussed timing this morning, we think the work for new customers could start on Bootstrap as soon as there's capacity on the Customer team. Migration stuff will be blocked by Core for a bit until we get support for all connection types, at least at an API level in Partners/Core (so we can migrate from Bootstrap to Core Connections once).

Any rough dates for both timelines? Just trying to mentally prepare myself.
