Here is what I had in my draft:

Suggested change
const guestFunc = async (...args) => fn(orc, ctx, ...args);
const hostFunc = asyncFlow(zone, durableName, guestFunc);
return hostFunc;
const subzone = zone.subZone(durableName);
// TODO: create durable exo wrappers for ctx props
const ctxKit = {}; // makeDurableCtxKit(ctx);
const asyncFlowGuestFunc = async (flowSupportKit, ...args) => {
// TODO: Add support for recreating a `this` exo class context
const exoContext = undefined;
// TODO: Get orc from `flowSupportKit` once it's made durable
const orcArg = orc;
// TODO: build ctx from a durable skeleton using `flowSupportKit`
const ctxArg = ctx;
return apply(fn, exoContext, [orcArg, ctxArg, ...args]);
}
const asyncFlowHostFn = asyncFlow(subzone, 'asyncFlow', asyncFlowGuestFunc);
return harden({
[durableName](...args) {
// TODO: Build the needed durable objects
const orcKit = {}; // internalMakeOrchestratorKit();
// TODO: plumb the necessary ingredients to reconstruct a `this` exo context inside the guest
return asyncFlowHostFn({ orc: orcKit.orchestrator, ctxKit }, ...args);
},
}[durableName]);

## Description
AsyncFlow requires that everything passing the membrane is durable. This makes the facade objects durable to conform.

Doing so for `localChainFacade` is deferred so we can get this into master sooner, to aid @erights 's #9521 .

## Description

Changed async-flow to support endowments. Changed `orchestrate` to use `asyncFlow` with endowments. Changed `sendAnywhere` example orchestration contract to be more compatible with this new `orchestrate`.

The CI errors are all in the `orchestration` package. After some earlier iteration where orchestration failures indicated async-flow bugs, which I fixed, the remaining errors seem plausibly to be integration bugs on the orchestration side revealed by using this improved `orchestrate` function. If so, that satisfies the purpose of this PR -- to enable integration testing to reveal such errors. However, this leaves open the question of how to bring this PR to fruition despite these CI errors.

In that iteration, the majority of errors were due to host-side promises, which we expected. To proceed with integration testing, I temporarily turned that case into a warning, by wrapping the host-side promise with a host-side vow. This stopgap measure is obviously fragile under upgrade. It would cause may upgrades to fail

However, I have not investigated these CI errors enough to be at all confident that none of them are due to bugs in async-flow. For any of those, they should be fixed in this PR.

### Security Considerations
nothing new
### Scaling Considerations
none, given that total endowments are low cardinality. All these endowments are prepare-time per-function. There should not be any cardinality limit on the activations making use of these endowments. But like all other async-flow scaling issues, that remains to be tested.
### Documentation Considerations
The endowment rules and taxonomy is interesting, and should be documented.
### Testing Considerations
We get CI errors only from the `orchestration` package. Some of these may be the integration bugs we wanted this exercise to reveal. However, others may be async-flow bugs, which should have been caught by async-flow unit tests.

The warning stopgap I mentioned above [appears in CI](https://github.com/Agoric/agoric-sdk/actions/runs/9637015639/job/26575694851?pr=9566#step:12:648) as, for example
```

```js
  getChain: M.callWhen(M.string()).returns(ChainInfoShape),
```

and the second line indicates where the guest code called it
```js
const omni = await orch.getChain('omniflixhub');
```

### Upgrade Considerations

The orchestration code in question cannot be truly upgrade safe until we see no more of these "vow expected, not promise" warnings. Even then, we should expect that async-flow as of this PR is ready for lots of testing, but not yet ready to run on the main chain with durable state expected to survive real upgrades.
