Comment: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.

Merge branch 'wip/repin-3a2d' into feat/horizon-cones

The horizon draft re-pinned to zit horizon-rfc 3a2df62515, and its new rule: under either horizon a path cone elides the sub-manifest nodes no in-cone slot reaches, and an origin withholds them. Interoperates with zit at 3a2df62515 both ways. check-in: 113123abae user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-cones, trunk

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.

feat(content): elide out-of-cone nodes under a content horizon

draft-fossil-horizon-00 at zit 3a2df62515 has a path cone elide sub-manifest nodes under either horizon, as the sparse store does (§3.2, §4.1). A content-horizon store held every node of every age, so classification kept a phantom node no in-cone slot reaches as transit and the store kept asking for it. Such a node is now elided, below the horizon too; a node on a path into the cone stays wanted at every age, and a horizon without path members still wants every node.

With nodes elided, a check-in's tree is read by the sparse readiness check before its spine is linked, and that check waited on every covered file. Under a horizon a covered file may lie below it, and which do is placed over the very check-ins the check gates, so a check-in below the horizon was never linked and the derivation lost it. Under a horizon the check no longer waits on files: the spine it publishes reads none, and the classification at rest tells an elided file from a transit one. check-in: 63d67666cd user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-cones, trunk
