Timeline

Prepare verified raw references under explicit byte, card, artifact and index-slot budgets before allocating payload expansions. Use request-local cone spans over a cone-independent range index to skip excluded RID gaps without empty clone continuation pages.

Keep this internal: selected-content reconstruction still uses dense allocation behavior, ordinary pull still scans inventory, and retaining every tree node is not proof of tree-minimal emission. No public wrapper, capability grammar or client continuation changes. check-in: 065f76e22f user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk

Separate immutable cone-independent raw facts from request-local classification. Validate the observer connection, database generation and post-preparation file identity under a bound transaction. Unsupported, stale and mutating requests use dense fallback without cold cone discovery while preserving sparse-origin refusal.

Exercise real clone and pull over excluded candidates, same-request writes, observer lifecycle and durable cluster advertisements across restart. Classification and inventory remain whole-store work; this does not close sparse per-round resource bounds or expose a public lifecycle API. check-in: 63e0b940eb user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk

Propagate tags and apply scheduled leaf rechecks before each link transaction commits. Preserve sparse metadata repair, pretagged merge-parent rechecks, and rollback-safe retries. Tracked in #432. check-in: b38bf23f79 user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk

Use same-branch and arrival-order evidence for leaf validation, validate parent overrides, and match Fossil parent tokenization. Preserve sparse readiness and delta-tree scans within one verification snapshot. Tracked in #433. check-in: 35672aadc7 user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk

Keep Fossil's mandatory operation-less second round without accepting any cleanup payload or clearing the refusal. Exercise dense and sparse refusal alongside the existing client compatibility cases. check-in: a453db484d user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk
