Discussion: Sequential condition resolution

[cygnusv]

Study supporting sequential resolution of conditions to support multistep condition resolution. For example, a condition may involve returning the result of a function call and feeding the result to a second function call (this becomes more interesting when the function calls are in different chains)

A couple thoughts here:

1. The functionality could be specific to CompoundAccessControlConditions, and can perhaps be done with some tweaking here - https://github.com/nucypher/nucypher/blob/main/nucypher/policy/conditions/lingo.py#L169, and perhaps the use of specific context variables for compound conditions...just an initial thought
2. There is a potential downstream effect on the use of multicall (Use multicalls when evaluating two or more CBD conditions #3051), since conditions that depend on other condition results probably can't be executed together in the same multi-call. It is something that can probably be worked around with some execution grouping logic when the time comes, but it is something interesting nonetheless.

This is interesting, to me and in general, since it allows the implementation of a zero-knowledge dialogue.
