This PR is a refactoring of the Stacks runtime. No expected behaviour change as a result of these changes.
Previously, nodes in the stacks runtime were created with a single link back to the
main
object. From the main object they could then search for the stack instance the nodes were linked to. However, the nodes are all created from inside the stack they want to link back to. I found this reverse look up very confusing.After this PR, nodes in the runtime accept both the stack and the configuration they are linked to directly in their constructor. This information is simply always available to them, removing the need for the lookups. I think it is easier to reason about each node and where it lives in the stack with this information made available up front. In addition, we can now create stack instances directly within the embedded stack calls that initialise them, making the tracing of stack instances much easier.
