test(sync): make the re-deltify clone test depend on the run checksum

The re-deltified version now sits inside a carried run, and the unreached blob it is stored against is itself a delta of the run's tip, so the chain from the run's head keeps the run's length and differs only in its rids. Disabling the checksum in cloneRun now ends the clone with a phantom. check-in: caea59079f user: [email protected] tags: main, perf/cone-clone-resend, trunk

test: expect fossil's newest-first ticket history

fossil ticket history orders changes by time, newest first (tkt.c, ORDER BY 1 DESC), and leaves a same-second tie unordered. The test expected the original ticket before its amendment, which held only when both landed in the same second and the tie broke that way; CI failed it whenever the clock ticked between them.

Stamp the amendment a minute later and expect it first. leaf check-in: 88082202ad user: [email protected] tags: test/ticket-history-order, trunk

seedcheck: count, privacy and savepoint follow-ups

A delta on a refused seed now counts as a new phantom only when it makes one, so a peer resending the same delta no longer holds a pull open to the round cap. The phantom it leaves is private when the card was, so its name is never asked for in a public sync.

seedcheck's drop reuses db's savepoint instead of its own copy: db.Tx.WithSavepoint exposes what WithTx already does on a bound DB. check-in: f8446cdfcc user: [email protected] tags: fix/seed-delta-drop, main, trunk

fix(content): keep a partial non-artifact record from reading old files

A push into a store fossil wrote starts the non-artifact record with what arrived, and loadFiles then took only the record's versions as file content: every older version went back to be read raw, past the budget on a real repository. File versions are now the record's together with those mlink names and no claim table names (fileVersionsSQL), in a full load and in a memo's extension alike, and the memo's prefix counts the claims in every store, since file versions follow them whether or not a record exists. The horizon memo conformance case that pushes a manifest ahead of its blob into such a store now extends by the arrivals again. leaf check-in: 9cc2297ef8 user: [email protected] tags: main, perf/cone-clone-rounds, trunk

fix(sync): bound a clone cookie's parse and its runs' expansion

A request carries a cookie of any length, and splitting one on ':' or '.' before any bound allocated a string header per separator: 8 MB of dots cost hundreds of megabytes. cloneCapFields now refuses a cookie past maxCloneCookieBytes (64 KiB, well past the longest the server writes) before it splits, and splits with SplitN, as parseCloneRuns does.

A forged cookie could also name one deep chain maxCloneRuns times. The server now rebuilds each head once and at most maxCloneRunRIDs rids in all, newest runs first, and the cookie keeps the newest maxCloneRuns runs rather than the oldest, since an old run may never be reached.

A SHA3 artifact refused to an older peer was recorded as sent, and so carried in a run across rounds; it is now left out as a withheld tree is.

TestConeCloneSurvivesRedeltify re-deltifies a forwarded version against an unreached in-cone blob mid-clone and checks the clone ends whole; it fails with a phantom if the run's checksum is not checked. leaf check-in: 624df80df2 user: [email protected] tags: main, perf/cone-clone-resend, trunk

13:35
fix(content): follow a record-less store's claim tables in the memo

Without the non-artifact record, file versions are those mlink names and no claim table names, and a sweep linking an artifact late adds claims without adding a blob. The memo's store prefix now also counts the rids the claim tables name at or below its top (claimRows; distinct rids, so a check-in's propagated tags do not move it), which settled checks before extending, and an extension takes as file content the old versions the arrivals' mlink rows name that no claim table names, as it does with the record.

loadFiles' comment now says what the fallback decides rather than claiming a proof: an unlinked blob that parses as an artifact is the file mlink says it is, elided outside the cone, and a corrupt out-of-cone version is elided unread. Tests pin both. check-in: 40b018695a user: [email protected] tags: main, perf/cone-clone-rounds, trunk

docs(changelog): measure the carried chains over a classified store

With the store classified, the cone clone of fossil-scm.org's src takes 8 rounds and receives 57,041 blobs to hold 56,262, against 12 rounds and 83,521 without the carried chains. The chains also cover versions a merge check-in brings in from a branch, which made up most of the remaining repeats. check-in: 102dab787b user: [email protected] tags: main, perf/cone-clone-resend, trunk

seedcheck: keep deltas on a dropped seed readable; make a drop atomic

Review follow-ups to the seed drop.

A delta that arrives on a seed already dropped could never be read: it was stored on a content-less row that is never filled or asked for. It is now not stored as a delta but left a phantom and asked for again in full, on a pull, a clone's phantom pull and a push to an origin. A seed that arrives in full after deltas built on it is stored just long enough to check those deltas, judge them and rewrite them as full text, and then dropped.

seedcheck.Drop runs in a savepoint (or a transaction of its own on a pool), so a failure partway, which the after-dephantomize cascade logs and commits past, leaves the seed and its dependents as they were.

An origin answering a push no longer asks for a refused seed's phantom, and a clone asking for what it left missing no longer counts one. fossil 2.28's rebuild re-adds every size<0 row to the phantom table and deletes the store-local seedrefused and seedpending tables; the CHANGELOG notes this and the one-time drop of refused seeds that older stores kept.

The client now adds to a reply's new-phantom count rather than replacing it, so a phantom made while receiving a file continues the exchange. leaf check-in: 41c092205e user: [email protected] tags: fix/seed-delta-drop, main, trunk

fix(content): classify a fossil-written store's file versions from its tables

A store this library crosslinked records each blob it found to be no artifact, and classification skips the file versions among them. A store fossil wrote has no such record, so classification read every file version raw and exceeded its byte budget: on a copy of fossil-scm.org's repository it failed on every request. A cone clone's walk then kept no base it had not reached yet, sent every in-cone version whole, and fit two or three 2-4 MB sqlite3.c texts into a 16 MB round: about 390 rounds and 30 minutes, where a dense clone takes 8 rounds.

Without the record, a version that mlink names and no table an artifact's crosslink writes claims is file content too, the proof the cone walk's knownFile already relies on; a table the store lacks claims nothing. That clone now takes 12 rounds and 9 minutes, verifying the same.

perf: carry a cone clone's forwarded delta chains across rounds

The server's cone walk sends an in-cone file version as a delta with the chain of newer versions ahead of it as its bases. Each round restarts the walk from the clone's cursor, so every later round that reached one of those versions at its own check-in sent it again.

The walk's cookie now names each chain a send forwarded: its head, length and an FNV-64 checksum of its rids. The next round rebuilds the chain from the store's delta table, counts its rids as sent, and drops it when the checksum no longer matches, so a store re-deltified mid-clone can never pass off a base the client was not sent. A run loses the leading rids the walk reaches, and the cookie carries at most 1,024 runs; one dropped is only sent again.

On a copy of fossil-scm.org's repository a cone clone of src now receives 72,835 blobs to hold 56,262 (main: 100,212); the clones verify identically. check-in: 9d266a0f51 user: [email protected] tags: main, perf/cone-clone-resend, trunk

seedcheck: drop a seed completed as a delta in a later round

A horizon seed stored as a delta whose base arrived only in a later round (pull, clone) or a later request (origin push) was refused by its hash but kept in the store, and a pull or clone counted the delta as received on arrival, before it could be judged (draft-fossil-horizon-00 §5.2.3, HZ-5.2-14).

On a seed verdict seedcheck now rewrites each delta built on the seed as full text, then empties the seed's row: size -1, no content, no delta link, and kept out of the phantom table so no request asks for it. The rid stays held for anything a receive pass tracks by it, and the refused hash is still recorded in store-local state.

A pull or clone counts a delta it could not read on arrival only at the end of the exchange, once readable and not dropped. A round still treats it as progress. The receive pass treats a row without content as no basis even when its cache holds the old bytes, and the push handler's same-request seed check consults the refused hash, since the dropped row no longer reads.

HZ-5.2-14 is now covered. check-in: 917bcc9830 user: [email protected] tags: fix/seed-delta-drop, main, trunk

feat(sshverify): make in-process SSH signature verification opt-in

internal/clearsign keeps the SSH envelope, SSHSIG parsing, namespace, hash and SHA-1 checks, none of which need cryptography, and hands the key parse and signature check to an SSHVerifier that the new public package sshverify registers from init. The library therefore no longer links golang.org/x/crypto/ssh and the ECDSA, P-256, Ed25519 and RSA code it pulls in; html-artifact-publisher's TinyGo engine drops from 1,347,569 to 1,093,647 bytes gzipped (3,777,936 to 3,208,411 raw).

Without the verifier nothing is accepted unchecked: a well-formed SSH signature is ErrSSHVerifierUnavailable, which wraps ErrCannotVerify, so a seed under an SSH horizon-seed-key is refused, the held one is kept, and the sync or rebuild fails naming the package to import. Malformed signatures are still bad. The cli package (and so cmd/libfossil) and examples/tinygo import sshverify; a go list guard keeps x/crypto/ssh out of the root and db closures. check-in: a87790f468 user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk

fix: let Create proceed when the filesystem cannot stat the parent

Create's parent-directory check, added in #457, refused a path whenever os.Stat of its parent failed. Under TinyGo wasm a repository lives in a SQLite VFS and os.Stat is unsupported, so every create failed with "parent directory does not exist: /"; standard Go's js/wasm build hung on the same check. It now refuses only a parent the filesystem confirms is missing or is not a directory, and otherwise lets SQLite's own open report a real failure (tracked in #509). check-in: 2449bcd313 user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk

fix: timelineSince means arrived after, not stamped after

A sync handler asks what a push brought in. Filtering on timestamps missed an artifact made on a machine whose clock runs behind the given check-in's. TimelineSince now keeps entries whose artifacts were stored after the given one: a later receipt (blob.rcvid, which a phantom fill updates), then a higher rid. Any held artifact hash is accepted; an unknown one is an error.

test(conformance): hand each case its subtest's t; cancel stale Race runs

check runs each case as a subtest, but the suites passed the case the parent's t, captured in a closure. A fixture that skips or fails, as the fossil-built R-card fixture skips when fossil(1) is absent, then called SkipNow or FailNow on the parent from inside the subtest, which Go fails as "subtest may have called FailNow on a parent test". The Race workflow installs no fossil and failed this way in TestSparseCone. check now hands conforms the subtest's t, and all 150 call sites take it, so a case's skip or failure ends that case alone. TestCheckSkipEndsOnlyTheCase guards the harness.

A Race run takes most of an hour and merges land faster, so a new run on a ref now cancels the older one. check-in: 43df2fd2c2 user: [email protected] tags: fix/conformance-subtest-t, main, trunk

docs: regenerate the SDK reference and check it in CI

The gomarkdoc SDK pages had drifted about a thousand lines from the code: make docs-gen-sdk was never part of docs-gen, so nothing regenerated them and the docs check did not compare them. ReadBlob, SetContentCache, ListFilesIn and OriginNamer were missing from the libfossil page.

scripts/gen-sdk-docs.sh now renders them, running gomarkdoc v1.1.0 through go run so CI needs no install, then adds the frontmatter. It honours OUT_DIR, gen-docs.sh calls it, and check-docs-generated.sh compares the result, so a stale SDK page fails CI like any other generated input. make docs-gen-sdk calls the same script. llms.txt and llms-full.txt are regenerated from the refreshed pages. check-in: c12b02189f user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk

perf(manifest): memoize parsed sub-manifests by hash

draft-fossil-submanifests-00 §7.4: enumeration results SHOULD be cached keyed by artifact name, so a rebuild parses each distinct sub-manifest once. The tree walk's loader now serves a resolved node from, and keeps it in, a new byte-bounded LRU memo on content.Cache (DerivedSized), keyed by the node's hash and charged its bytes, within a quarter of the cache's budget. The existing 32-entry Derived FIFO is sized for a few parsed check-ins; a tree's working set is every distinct node, which would thrash it and evict those check-ins.

Only a node that resolved is kept, so a phantom is looked up afresh and fails the walk as before. Depth, cycle and node-count bounds stay per walk. The memo is dropped with Derived on Invalidate and Clear, and the Repo's cache is replaced at every write.

Listing a tree that differs from one already read in one leaf now parses its manifest and that leaf; listing every check-in of zit's recorded tree history parses 48 sub-manifests instead of 109. SM-7.4-1 is covered.

A Race workflow runs every unit package under the race detector after each merge to main, nightly, and on demand. The full suite passes under -race with no data race reported; it takes several times as long as without, so it does not gate pull requests, which already must be up to date with main to merge. Fossil and zit are not installed there; their interop tests skip, and the Tests workflow runs them.

fix(sync): export OriginNamer so an embedder's transport keeps a horizon cursor

Sync and Clone keyed the horizon cursor (draft-fossil-horizon-00 §6.2.6) on an unexported syncOrigin method, which only the HTTP transport could satisfy. Any other Transport kept no cursor and announced its whole holding with igot on every pull.

OriginNamer is an optional interface, discovered by type assertion like FramedTransport, with SyncOrigin() string. The HTTP transport implements it in place of the unexported method, so one assertion serves both. The name must identify the peer stably and carry no credential.

feat: read an artifact by hash and cache content on Repo

Repo.ReadBlob expands one artifact by its full hash after the availability check ReadFile applies, and names an unknown hash with ErrArtifactNotFound.

Repo.SetContentCache attaches a byte-bounded content.Cache that ReadFile, ReadFileAt, ReadBlob, ListFiles, Diff and Annotate share; check-in parses are kept in its derived memo, so reads at one check-in parse the manifest once. Default off. A read that finds the DB's finished-write count moved swaps in an empty cache, so a purged, compacted or elided artifact, and a rid SQLite reuses after a purge, is never served from it. Writes by another process are not seen; the method's doc says so.
