Using appbuilder but in optional EDIT/RUN modes

[vineetbansal]

For a larger app that I'm developing (in Reflex, which also uses uvicorn on the server side), I'd love to have smaller applets (marimo apps) which would normally run in RUN mode, but could potentially run in EDIT mode by a superuser. This would allow quick iterations on ideas without having to go through the whole commit->tag->release->compile for the larger webapp as a whole.

I've been able to get this to work by relatively minor hacks to the marimo code. These are:

marimo/marimo/_server/asgi.py

Line 449 in 37bcb7a

mode=SessionMode.RUN,

        def _create_app_for_file(base_url: str, file_path: str) -> ASGIApp:
            session_manager = SessionManager(
                file_router=AppFileRouter.from_filename(MarimoPath(file_path)),
                mode=SessionMode.RUN,

Modifying SessionMode to be EDIT.

and disabling SkewProtectionMiddleware at:

marimo/marimo/_server/main.py

Line 87 in 37bcb7a

Middleware(SkewProtectionMiddleware),

because in my use case, a single super-user would make edits to the applet, and if clients are temporarily on an older version of the code, that's not too critical.

Obviously these are hacks, and I'm probably missing other parts of the code that might break given these, but I'm wondering what the marimo team thinks about exposing knobs like these. This would make marimo an invaluable tool that could be used with other asgi frameworks like Reflex.
