are updates to durable objects guaranteed to be exactly once?if an update is sent but the connection between client and object are dropped, how is that handled?
Yes, updates are guaranteed to happen exactly once or not at all.
If the connection drops, the Worker will receive an error and can re-establish its connection to the Durable Object. The update may or may not have been successfully persisted by the Durable Object - just like any other remote database operation where the connection drops before you receive the result back.
