Description

At some stage I'm going to major bump the worker to version 2.0.

This will include a few breaking changes. For example, how output_dataclip is serialized.

When we do this, w'ell need to consider a migration. Proabably when the worker connects it includes a version. And then Lightning must either reject incompatible versions, or include back-compat accomodations for the older versions.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the worker connection and version-handling entry points, then inspect how output_dataclip is serialized. Done requires an agreed migration strategy for worker 1.x and 2.0, including whether incompatible versions are rejected or supported through compatibility handling.
