Description

Now that WASI 0.3.0 has been released, this proposal should build on WASI 0.3.0. I recommend setting the version to 0.3.0-rc.n as well like wasi-otel and wasi-webgpu.

I created an async keyvalue API (asyncified version of this wit definition) that additionally solves the ABA problem for CAS. This may be a good starting point: https://github.com/wasmCloud/wasmCloud/blob/main/wit/keyvalue/wit/cas.wit

Research direction

Start by reading the referenced wit/keyvalue/wit/cas.wit definition and comparing the version conventions used by wasi-otel and wasi-webgpu. Determine how the keyvalue API should build on WASI 0.3.0, including the async interface and CAS behavior. Done means the proposal is updated to the agreed 0.3.0-rc.n version with those API changes documented in the WIT definition.
