    """ Handles state updates from both the web UI and from the fridge client.
    The fridge client is canonical. It provides the epoch (apart from 'startepoch'), that
    is changed any time the fridge reloads its local config. The fridge only accepts
    updates that have the same epoch.

    When the web UI changes it keeps the same epoch but generates a new tag. The fridge sends
    its current known tag and waits for it to change.
