— feat(sync): withhold out-of-cone nodes of the trees a horizon keeps
Under either horizon with path members an origin now sends only the sub-manifest nodes on paths into the cone of the trees its horizon keeps (every check-in's at the content depth, K's at the structural one), announces none of the rest and answers no gimme for them; a request without path members still receives every node (draft-fossil-horizon-00 §6.2 at zit 3a2df62515).
The walk is zit's walkSlots (src/sparse.zig): only slots that may hold an in-cone path are descended, a last slot takes its parent's bound, and a node is walked again only under a wider bound. It runs over the classification's facts, never the store, and the origin's memo keeps it by cone so a later request walks only the roots appended since, falling back to a fresh walk when a root arrives below the ones walked. A clone round sends nodes by the per-check-in tree walk it already uses without a horizon, walking a check-in outside the held set for its nodes alone.
Each kept node records the lowest root that keeps it, so a cursor is void (§6.2.6) exactly when some node at or below it is kept only by a root above it: stateless, and the same for a fresh classification and the memo, where zit voids every cursor below the store count at the moment its sidecar sees the change.
The memo returned a cone's earlier classification whenever no fact list grew, keeping that store's names, so an artifact appended or filled without becoming a record read as unnamed; it now carries the current facts. Found by the memo equivalence test, which now covers path cones under both horizons, the slot walk, cursor voiding and a tree form that widens a node's bound.

# Requirements of draft-fossil-horizon-00, written from the draft text. # Implemented so far: the horizon member of the cone (§3.3); the §3.1 held # set (internal/horizon); the content horizon over a store's own manifests # (§3.2, §4.1-§4.3: internal/content's classification); and its client # synchronization against a horizon-ignorant peer (§4.4, §4.5, §6.3: # local classification of what a dense peer sends, no cluster held but # what a received cluster names fetched, demand fetch and deepen); the # horizon pragmas with the origin that serves them at the content level # (§6.1, §6.2, §6.2.1, §6.2.5, §6.4: go-libfossil's handler and client, and # zit both ways) and the cursor (§6.2.6); and the §5.2 seed's minting, # holding outside the artifact store and application to the derivation # (internal/horizon/seed); and the structural horizon end to end (§5, §6.2.2, # §6.2.3: the store's classification, boundary labels, the seed on the wire, # re-seeding, fallback, verification and crossing diagnostics, go-libfossil # and zit both ways); and Appendix A step 6 (§5.5, §5.7, §5.8, §5.9, # §6.2.4: the merge-base query, deepen, merge and bisect crossings, the # push-time cancellation check and seed verification, zit both ways where # zit implements them); and the origin's classification memo (§6.2: kept by # cone and store prefix, extended by appends, over a reference graph read once # per store); and a path cone's node elision under either horizon (§3.2, # §4.1, §5.1, §6.2: the store's classification, the origin's slot walk of # the trees it keeps, kept with the memo, and the cursor it voids, §6.2.6). # Rows those cover partly say what they leave out; every # other row carries a scope note naming the Appendix A step that will cover # it. # Skipped, with reasons: 1.2 and 1.3 (design statements that the normative # sections restate), 3.4 except its two SHOULDs, 5.9 except its SHOULD, 7 # and Appendix B (informative), 9 (IANA). # Format: <id>\t<section>\t<requirement>[\t<scope note>] # draft draft-fossil-horizon-00.txt 037f9ad4cb1eeed09c89961e405f682926aaf6119de59a04ae63aa391137ec3e HZ-1.1-1 1.1 An implementation may provide the content horizon alone; the structural horizon presupposes the content horizon. HZ-3.1-1 3.1 A horizon names one check-in C by its full artifact hash and one of two held-set rules: descendants (the default), C and every descendant of C; or leaves, those plus, for every childless check-in L not descended from C, every descendant of each nearest common ancestor of L and C, that ancestor included. HZ-3.1-2 3.1 A client that expects to merge across live branches offline should choose the leaves rule knowingly. HZ-3.1-3 3.1 The held set is a function of C, the rule and the check-in graph, recomputed by clone and origin from what each holds, and stored by no party. HZ-3.1-4 3.1 Both rules are stated over P cards alone and yield a set closed under descendants: every child of a check-in in K is in K. Childless means no check-in names it in a P card, open or closed, not the same-branch leaf of repo-state. HZ-3.2-1 3.2 A horizon is store-adjacent local state: not an artifact, not synchronized, affecting no artifact's bytes or name; its loss reclassifies every elided artifact as a transit phantom and the store heals toward dense. HZ-3.2-2 3.2 With both a horizon and a path cone, the blobs kept are the intersection of the two keep sets; the check-in manifests held are governed by the horizon alone; sub-manifest nodes by both, the horizon deciding whose trees are held and the path cone eliding within them the nodes no S-card slot that may hold an in-cone path reaches, as the sparse store does; every other structural artifact is held whatever either says. HZ-3.3-1 3.3 A horizon serializes into the canonical cone form as one member of a distinct kind carrying C's hash and the rule name, canonically, so the cone's digest stays a valid memoization key. HZ-3.3-2 3.3 A cone with a horizon member is marked with a version distinct from a cone without one, so that an implementation predating this document refuses rather than misreads it. HZ-3.4-1 3.4 An origin that offers a default C should also report what each rule would hold. not yet implemented: the horizon pragmas, Appendix A step 3 HZ-3.4-2 3.4 Clients should not express a horizon as a count or a date at the protocol layer. HZ-4.1-1 4.1 A content-horizon clone holds every structural artifact of every age but clusters (under a path cone, of the sub-manifest nodes only those on a path into the cone), every blob an F card of a check-in in the held set names, and elided phantoms for every other blob; it holds, mints and requests no cluster. covered but for a cluster a peer names by igot, which the clone requests once before it can know it is one; origin-side suppression, Appendix A step 1 HZ-4.1-2 4.1 Composed with a path cone, a content horizon holds, of every check-in of every age, the sub-manifest nodes reached from the manifest through S-card slots that may hold an in-cone path; the others are elided phantoms, which an origin withholds, every in-cone tree is whole, and an operation needing an elided node (a commit, a listing outside the cone) obtains it as the sparse-cone draft's §5.3 provides. HZ-4.2-1 4.2 A blob is above the horizon when a check-in in the held set names it, directly or through a sub-manifest; elision is the sparse-cone draft's third phantom class with all of its rules: never spontaneously requested, counted distinctly from damage, reclassified by recomputation. HZ-4.2-2 4.2 A phantom created because a held artifact arrived as a delta against it is a transit phantom whatever its horizon classification. HZ-4.3-1 4.3 Derived caches and prefix-anchored checkpoints are horizon-independent: their keys do not incorporate the horizon. HZ-4.3-2 4.3 The derivation of repository state runs over check-in manifests and control artifacts and reads no sub-manifest node; a content horizon holds every one of them, with or without a path cone, so the derivation is the dense repository's. HZ-4.4-1 4.4 An operation needing a blob below the horizon resolves the elided phantom by demand fetch, targeted, or by moving C (a deepen). HZ-4.5-1 4.5 A horizon clone does not hold the clusters it is sent. Against an origin whose replies carry horizon-served it does not request a phantom whose only reference is a cluster artifact; against a horizon-ignorant origin it requests the phantoms a received cluster names, as transit, and classifies what arrives. It requests phantoms named by igot cards, by the P, F and S cards of held artifacts, and by delta sources of held artifacts. HZ-5.1-1 5.1 A structural-horizon clone holds the manifests and nodes of check-ins in the held set and everything they reach through B and S cards, every control, wiki, ticket, event, forum and attachment artifact, the blobs of the content horizon, elided phantoms for the rest, and the seed, which it keeps from every peer; under a path cone, of those trees' nodes only those on a path into the cone. HZ-5.1-2 5.1 A clone does not enter the structural horizon against a horizon-ignorant peer. HZ-5.2-1 5.2.1 The seed is a control artifact minted by the origin whose T cards apply to every entry of K (C, and each check-in of K whose primary parent is not in K) every tag in force there in the dense repository, each with the value the dense derivation holds; its D card is the time of minting and its U card the origin's login. covered for minting, delivery and application, cross-checked against zit's seed; the D card is the latest summarized tag event, as Section 6.2.3 directs, not the time of minting HZ-5.2-2 5.2.2 The origin sets each seed's D card no earlier than the latest tag event it summarizes and strictly later than any seed it replaces. covered when the re-mint follows a later tag event; a re-mint after an event that only removes rows, a cancel below the horizon, can carry an earlier D (zit's construction too); the clone re-derives on every replacement, so applying it is unaffected HZ-5.2-3 5.2.3 A clone never sends its seed to any peer, private-content synchronization included; it holds the seed private or outside the artifact store and applies it at every open. HZ-5.2-4 5.2.3 An origin refuses a seed offered to it, and an artifact of the seed's shape arriving by any route but the horizon reply is an ordinary control artifact. HZ-5.2-5 5.2.4 An origin holding a signing key should sign the seed with the clear-signing envelope. not yet implemented: go-libfossil signs no artifact; seed.Verifier is where a clear-signature check plugs in HZ-5.2-6 5.2.4 A clone that knows its origin's public key verifies every seed's signature and discards an unsigned or wrongly signed seed, falling back to the content horizon; a clone with no key accepts an unsigned seed. covered for the policy through seed.Verifier (no key accepts unsigned; a rejecting key refuses a new seed and discards a held one); no clear-signature verifier ships, as go-libfossil verifies no artifact signature HZ-5.3-1 5.3 A clone classifies a labelled boundary hash as an elided phantom and an unlabelled unheld reference as a transit phantom, which it requests. HZ-5.4-1 5.4 A boundary hash should be rendered as the horizon and is never described as damage; verification reports manifests below the horizon as elided, distinctly from damage. HZ-5.5-1 5.5 An operation needing history below the horizon (a merge base, a symbolic name, a checkout, diff or annotate below C, a bisection) detects the crossing, names the horizon in its diagnostic and offers the stated remedy. covered for checkout, diff and annotate from a check-in below C, a merge base below C (refused naming the horizon, or asked of the origin and deepened to with a peer) a bisection's good end below C, and a symbolic name on a check-in below C, which resolves to it, each diagnostic naming the horizon and the deepen; annotate walking back past C attributes the lines it reaches there to the oldest held version, as zit's does HZ-5.5-2 5.5 An implementation never merges against a base it does not hold. HZ-5.6-1 5.6 A clone requests the seed at each synchronization, naming the seed it holds, and the origin replies with a new seed only when it differs, keeping no per-client state. HZ-5.7-1 5.7 A commit from a structural horizon is an ordinary commit: on an existing branch it writes no branch tag; creating a branch it writes the repository-state T cards, the parent branch's cancellation included. HZ-5.7-2 5.7 An origin should check a pushed cancellation against its own derivation and refuse on disagreement, naming the stale seed and the parent's branch; it admits the check-in when the push or its store carries a control artifact cancelling the parent's branch tag on it. HZ-5.8-1 5.8 A deepen names an ancestor C' of C, recomputes the held set and synchronizes at C'; nothing held is replaced, and the deepening clone discards the old seed before applying the new one. HZ-5.9-1 5.9 An implementation should offer seed verification by deepening as a verification mode. HZ-6.1-1 6.1 A horizon-scoped request carries at most one pragma horizon <hash> <rule>, may carry path-cone pragmas (the keep set is then the intersection), and adds pragma horizon-structural for the structural horizon; any request may carry pragma horizon-cursor. HZ-6.2-1 6.2 An origin receiving a horizon pragma computes the held set over the dense graph and restricts the blobs it sends; for a structural request it also restricts manifests and nodes, sends every other structural artifact, the boundary labels and the seed, and bounds the per-round walk. HZ-6.2-2 6.2 An origin should not send cluster artifacts in reply to a horizon-scoped request. HZ-6.2-3 6.2.1 An origin does not send, in reply to a horizon-scoped request, a delta whose base is outside the keep set; it sends that artifact in full, may send in-keep-set deltas verbatim, should bound reconstruction per round, and may send a delta verbatim when it cannot reconstruct it. HZ-6.2-4 6.2.2 For a structural request the origin emits pragma horizon-below for every boundary hash, no later than the reply carrying the first manifest that names it. HZ-6.2-5 6.2.3 A structural request carries pragma horizon-seed with the held seed or '-'; the origin announces a differing seed with the pragma before its file card; the client verifies the bytes hash to the announced name and parse as a control artifact, drops a card failing either, routes it to its seed holding, and never announces or sends it. HZ-6.2-6 6.2.3 An origin does not advertise the structural level unless it sends a seed in the same reply or the client's offered seed is current, and a seed's D card should be the latest mtime among the tag events it summarizes. HZ-6.2-7 6.2.4 A client may ask pragma horizon-mergebase <a> <b>; an origin answers with the base or '-' and bounds the ancestry walk. HZ-6.2-8 6.2.5 An origin emits pragma horizon-served <level> [<url>] in every reply to a horizon request; a client does not enter the structural horizon unless its first reply carried structural, and should report the mode a transfer used. covered for both levels, without the optional URL HZ-6.2-9 6.2 An origin should keep its classification keyed by the cone digest and the store prefix it classified, extend it by the artifacts appended since, and recompute in full only when an appended artifact carries a name a held P, B or S card cited while it was absent. HZ-6.2-10 6.2 An origin should read each structural artifact's kind and P, B, S, F and A references once per store into a cone-independent graph keyed to the same prefix, extend it by appended artifacts, and classify every cone over that graph. covered but for the F cards of a horizon's trees, which the first classification of each horizon walks from the store, as zit's does, and later ones extend HZ-6.2-11 6.2.6 An origin that classified a request emits pragma horizon-cursor <n> in every reply, n its artifact-sequence position through which the reply was served; receiving a cursor it announces no artifact at or below it and every kept artifact above it the request did not name, and after a reclassification, or after an appended tree reaches through an in-cone slot an older node the classification withheld (which it then keeps), answers a request carrying a cursor below the position it recorded once as if it carried none; it announces with igot only in reply to a request that pulls, and a reply to a push-only request announces nothing, cursor or not. HZ-6.2-14 6.2 When a horizon request also carries path members, the origin withholds at either depth the sub-manifest nodes of the trees it keeps that no S-card slot that may hold an in-cone path reaches, neither sending them in a clone nor answering a request for them; a request without path members receives every node of those trees. HZ-6.2-15 6.2 Under a content horizon with path members the origin's walk should be kept like the classification: descending only slots that may reach the cone, visiting each node once per bound it is reached under (a last slot's bound its parent's, a wider bound deciding for a narrower), and recording what it walked, so that a later request walks only the trees appended since. HZ-6.2-12 6.2.6 A client that converged records the last reply's cursor and its own artifact count per origin and sends the cursor on every request to that origin; it may then announce nothing on a pull-only request, must still announce on a request that sends but may announce only artifacts appended after the recorded count, and advances the count only past artifacts the origin holds. HZ-6.2-13 6.2.6 The cursor changes what is announced, never what is answered: an origin answers a gimme for any kept artifact whatever cursor the request carried, a client requests every phantom it wants as without one, and either side may drop the cursor and fall back to a full announcement. HZ-6.3-1 6.3 Against a horizon-ignorant peer a content-horizon client classifies locally, stores the blobs above the horizon, records elided phantoms and reports the counts; a structural request falls back to the content horizon and reports that it did. HZ-6.4-1 6.4 A server over a horizon clone refuses a dense clone request, and a horizon request whose held set is not a subset of its own, with one error card and no content; the requesting client treats that reply as fatal. HZ-8-1 8 The origin's held-set walk and merge-base query carry the depth and visited-node bounds of any server-side graph walk, and delta inflation on the serve path is bounded by the round's batch limit.
