Two token values are reserved: `0x0000` and `0xFFFF`:
* `0x0000`: A message sent by a host application may use this token if no response is to be sent -- a "fire and forget" message.
* `0xFFFF`: Signifies a "broadcast" message sent by the firmware without prompting from the host application. Broadcast messages are defined later in this document.
Any request will generate at least one corresponding response, with the exception of messages using reserved tokens. Maximum total message length is 128 bytes due to RAM constraints.

broadcast_messages:
'''
## Broadcast messages
Broadcast messages may be sent by the firmware to the host, without a corresponding inbound request. Each broadcast message uses the token `0xFFFF`, and does not expect a response from the host. Tokens are followed by an _ID_ signifying the type of broadcast, with corresponding _payload_.

u64:
'''
An unsigned 64-bit integral, commonly seen as `uint64_t` from _stdint.h_.
A structure of data, packing different objects together. Data is "compacted" -- there are no padding bytes between fields. Equivalent to a packed C-style `struct`. The order in which they're defined matches the order of the data in the response packet.
A way to determine if certain functionality is enabled in the firmware. Any _subsystem_ that provides build-time restriction of functionality must provide a _route_ for a _capabilities query_.
'''
"Secure Route":
'''
A _route_ which has potentially destructive consequences, necessitating prior approval by the user before executing.
'''
"Unlock sequence":
'''
A physical sequence initiated by the user to enable execution of _secure routes_.
Replicates and replaces the same functionality as if using the standard QMK `CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes` in `rules.mk`. Normal prints within the firmware will manifest as log messages broadcast to the host. `hid_listen` will not be functional with XAP enabled.
Log message payloads include a `u8` signifying the length of the text, followed by the `u8[Length]` containing the text itself.
XAP subsystem capabilities query. Each bit should be considered as a "usable" route within this subsystem.

XAP protocol subsystem query. Each bit should be considered as a "usable" subsystem. For example, checking `(value & (1 << XAP_ROUTE_QMK) != 0)` means the QMK subsystem is enabled and available for querying.
