See PHI1735. "ConduitEngine" was once a future pool, but this has moved to "HardpointEngine". This class may no longer make much sense.
In Phacility code, "bin/host upload" depends on using the Uploader, which needs a "ConduitEngine", not a "ConduitClient". This workflow may use asymmetric key signing, which "ConduitEngine" does not support.
To unblock PHI1735, provide glue code between "Client" and "Engine". But a "more correct" change is probably removal of "Engine".
