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.

feat: list a check-in's files narrowed to a cone

Repo.ListFilesIn passes the public Cone to the enumeration seam as the range predicate (draft-fossil-sparse-cone-00 §4.1). On a tree manifest the walk skips sub-manifests the cone cannot reach (§4.5), so over a sparse store it succeeds where ListFiles fails on an elided node. It reads through the attached content cache, via a new internal manifest.ListFilesFilteredCached.

ci: run the unit suite under -race; give packages 10m

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.

The unit steps' -timeout is per package binary, and conformance alone takes 130-255s on a hosted runner, so 300s failed it on runner variance. It is now 10m. The dst steps keep 300s. check-in: fdd361b5a9 user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk

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.

fix: validate carried hashes and check FOSSIL_USER first

A carried file outside a sparse store's cone skips the held check, so any caller text of 40 bytes or more reached the F card verbatim, including a newline that writes a card of its own into the check-in. checkCarried now refuses a UUID that is not a lowercase SHA1 or SHA3-256 hash, which covers FileToCommit.UUID and the sparse checkout path alike (tracked in #486).

fix(horizon): keep the minted floor best effort

A mint wrote the floor on every structural pull and failed the request when it could not, so a read-only mirror or a store whose write lock was held no longer served the structural horizon. The floor is now written only when D moves later, and a failed write is ignored: the mark is a SHOULD, and without it the next seed is dated from the tag rows as before. A stored value that is not a canonical integer, which an overflowing cast would rank above every D, is replaced. check-in: 8356d3d19e user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-seed-floor, trunk

fix(horizon): date a seed no earlier than the origin's minted floor

Shunning and purging the latest tag event removed the tagxref rows a seed's D was dated from, so the next seed was earlier than the one every structural clone held. Each clone's D floor refused it as a replay and it fell back to the content horizon until the repository's tags caught up with the purged tag's time; a far-future tag held it there indefinitely.

The draft (zit 39546186f4, §5.2.2) now has an origin date a seed no earlier than the latest D it has minted and keep that D across restarts. Mint reads the mark from the store's horizon-seed-floor config row, dates the seed at the later of it and the latest tag event, and raises the row after minting with a conditional upsert, so concurrent mints never lower it. No config group transfers the row, so it is never sent.

Re-pins draft-fossil-horizon-00 at 39546186f4 and adds the conformance case horizon.5.2.2.seed-date-shun, which fails without the floor. check-in: 1fd0dfdbc1 user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-seed-floor, trunk

zit 0.7.2 (tag version-0.7.2, check-in 1dcb2d4a29) dates a seed at the repository's latest tag event, as go-libfossil now does. Its horizon draft is the caeef421ee text pinned here (artifact ab18fa7f89).

- ZIT_VERSION is 0.7.2, and ZIT_SHA256 is the checksum of zit-0.7.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz, checked against the release's SHA256SUMS. - REQUIRE_ZIT_SEED_DATE=1 sits next to REQUIRE_ZIT_BIN, so TestHorizonSeedDateZit cannot skip in CI. - The README, horizons.md, CHANGELOG and test comments now say interop is pinned to zit 0.7.2. check-in: 0c30e0d32e user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-dfloor-receive, main, trunk

test(conformance): seed byte-identity with zit over a cancelled tag

TestHorizonSeedDateZit has zit mint the seed for a repository whose newest tag event is a cancel, and requires it to match go-libfossil's byte for byte. Both now date a seed at the repository's latest tag event (§5.2.2).

No string in the binary tells a zit from before caeef421ee apart: its version still reads 0.7.1. So the test recognises an older zit by an earlier D in an otherwise identical seed, and skips it unless REQUIRE_ZIT_SEED_DATE=1. CI's pinned zit 0.7.1 skips. A zit built at caeef421ee passes with the variable set. leaf check-in: ad82b4a46d user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-dfloor-receive, main, trunk

Merge feat/seed-receive-drop; re-pin horizon draft to zit caeef421ee

Re-pins draft-fossil-horizon-00 to zit trunk check-in caeef421ee (file artifact ab18fa7f89), which changes §5.2.2, §5.2.3 and §6.2.3 and adds two Appendix C bullets. This brings in the local feat/seed-receive-drop branch, which implements the receive rule, and resolves it against main (#477 chain-walk bounds, #478 seed binding).

§5.2.2, the seed's D (tracked in #479): - Mint dates a seed at max(tagxref.mtime) over every row in the repository, cancels and propagated rows included, as zit's latestTagEvent does. It was the latest of the rows the seed summarizes. - A cancel of the newest tag, or a reopened closed branch, therefore no longer mints a seed earlier than the one a clone holds, which the clone's D floor refused as a replay.

§5.2.3, the receive rule: - A pull, clone or sync drops a seed by this store's label or by a binding card when it can read it, and the link step refuses one completed later. - The draft also requires that a delta kept without its base, pushed or received, is not announced or served while it cannot be expanded. feat/seed-receive-drop only withheld pushed ones. The pending mark moves into storeDeltaContent, so a pull marks too, and a clone marks what is still unreadable when it ends (seedcheck.WithholdUnreadable). That avoids judging every dangling file delta of a clone a second time. - Since #478 minted seeds carry a binding card. The seed-shaped-ordinary cases therefore strip it, and a new test checks that a seed with the card is never linked.

Conformance rows: - HZ-5.2-2 takes the new D text. - HZ-5.2-4 loses the old ordinary-artifact sentence. - HZ-6.2-6 says the D is fixed by the repository's tag events. - New rows: HZ-5.2-14 (the receive-path drop; PARTIAL, since a seed completed in a later round is kept inert, and was counted when its delta arrived), HZ-5.2-15 (the dropped-hash record) and HZ-5.2-16 (withholding unexpandable deltas). - New cases: two D cases mirroring zit's "horizon seed date" regression, a cancel on C and a cancel at an ancestor below it, and five receive cases. - The deepen-floor case now replays an older seed, since an honest origin no longer mints one. check-in: 5d0ef566aa user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-dfloor-receive, main, trunk

feat(horizon): bind each seed to its horizon and sign seeds apart

Every seed an origin mints now carries T +horizon-seed <C> <rule> (draft-fossil-horizon-00 §5.2.1), inside the signed bytes. The card is not counted as a tag in force, Mint never derives a horizon-seed row into a seed, and Apply skips the card.

Before a clone holds a seed, signed or not, it checks the seed against its store cone (§5.2.4). The seed must carry exactly one binding card naming the store's C and rule, and its D must be no earlier than the held seed's. A seed that fails is refused as a wrongly signed one and the clone falls back to the content horizon. A deepen discards the held seed first, so the floor restarts at the new C. A held seed that is no longer bound is discarded when it is next applied.

Seeds are signed with their own horizon-seed-command and are no longer signed by clearsign and pgp-command. SSH seed signatures use the fossil-horizon-seed namespace. clearsign.Key.Verify now takes the namespace, and check-in verification keeps fossilscm.

Adds 9 conformance cases and flips HZ-5.2-8, HZ-5.2-11, HZ-5.2-12 and HZ-5.2-13 to covered. The zit interop gate moves to zit 0.7.1, whose seeds are byte-identical with ours. check-in: 451d368554 user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk

fix(sync): bound basis-chain walks at the read depth

Any pusher could hold the write lock about 30s per push with a two-delta cycle. The receive pass's basis-chain walks, and the horizon seed check's pending-row walk, ran to 1<<24 steps before giving up.

All of them now stop at content.MaxDeltaChainDepth, the depth at which content.Expand stops, so no walk outlasts what a read could ever use. What crossing the bound means at each site:

- chainEnd (rootOf, for a dangling delta being stored) keeps a visited set. A chain that loops is refused, as it was, but at the revisit rather than after 1<<24 steps. A chain longer than the bound returns errChainTooDeep. storeDeltaContent then stores the delta untracked: the push succeeds, as a push onto a chain between 16k and 16M deep always did, and since no basis can make the delta readable there is nothing to check against its name later. Storing matches the current behaviour, and an honest transfer never fails for a deep chain it did not build. - verifyFrom's cascade carries each row's depth from the basis that arrived, its own chain included. It does not check, or descend past, a row deeper than the bound: no read can produce those bytes, so the pass owes them no check. A delta that does not hash to its name past the bound no longer aborts the pass. - pathRows loses its step counter. Its visited marks already stop it at a row on a path, so it visits each row once, and the cascade's depth check bounds what it verifies. - seedcheck's chainRoot gives a chain that loops or runs past the bound no root, consistent with ErrChainUnresolvable: the row stays pending, withheld, and is never judged.

Tests: - Closing a two-delta cycle is refused in under 5s (it took 27s). - A push onto a chain one past the bound is stored. - chainEnd stops exactly at its limit. - A dangling delta with a wrong name one node past the bound does not abort the push, whether the basis that arrives is full text or a delta deep on a held chain, while one within the bound is still checked and readable. - MarkPending gives an over-deep chain no root, so filling its far end examines nothing, and returns at once on a cycle. - TestHorizonOverDeepPendingChainDoesNotBlockFill still passes. - Removing each bound, the cycle check, the untracked store or the root depth fails a test. - chainDepth's own early stop is an equivalent mutant: the cascade's root has just been expanded, so its chain is within the bound unless the store is damaged. check-in: eac16cf7ed user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk

Pin draft-fossil-horizon-00 at zit 236b7b4285 (artifact 130b85e386), which adds named horizons (§6.2.7), the origin's own seed label and the refusal of a pushed seed on expanded content (§5.2.2, §5.2.3, §5.7), and the seed's horizon-seed binding card with the clone's checks on it.

Re-read horizon.tsv against the new text: the seed-label, push-check and named-horizon rows follow its wording; the client rows of named horizons move from §6.3 to §6.2.7 (HZ-6.2-19 to HZ-6.2-21); the store-local judging of a late seed and the binding-card shape refusal get rows of their own (HZ-5.2-9, HZ-5.2-10). The binding card, its no-derive rule, the clone's binding and D-floor checks and the separate seed-signing namespace (HZ-5.2-8, HZ-5.2-11 to HZ-5.2-13) are not built and show as gaps. check-in: cfa0577b2a user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk

fix: send a clone's horizon by name even as a full hash

A horizon given through CloneOpts.Horizon or --horizon now always goes out as pragma horizon-name, a full hash at depth 0 included. The origin tries a full hash as a check-in and then as a symbolic name (§6.2.7, C.3), so a branch or tag spelled as 40 hex digits is found; a peer that resolves no name is covered by the local fallback. A horizon held on the store cone still goes out as pragma horizon on every pull, sync and deepen.

nameAuthority now says why crediting the login card to the whole request is harmless, and TestResolveNameBounded fails within 2s with a message naming the unbounded walk. check-in: 017c7f9393 user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk

fix(sync): resolve horizon names only for authorized requesters

An origin resolved a horizon-name before the requester's login was read, and served a requester that may neither read nor clone at the horizon the name resolved to, so whether a name exists showed in its reply. The login card is now checked first, and only a requester that may read or clone has the name resolved; anyone else is answered as if the request named no horizon, the same reply for any name. A pull naming an unknown horizon is refused with the one error card, not served densely.

The client fails the clone on a second horizon-resolved in a reply, and on one answering a request that sent no horizon-name. A private origin's challenge does not settle the name: the next request resends it with the login, still the clone's first request under §6.1.

API: CloneOpts.Horizon replaces CloneOpts.HorizonName and the stand-in check-in a named horizon's StoreCone had to carry. It reuses the Horizon type, whose Checkin may there be a name, beside the existing HorizonDepth, and keeps the rule and the structural level where they were, so no public concept is added. StoreCone gives the path members alone: a horizon on both, or a depth without a Horizon, is an error. A full hash at depth 0 goes on the store cone as itself. Internally a NamedHorizon carries the name, depth, rule and level, not a cone holding a placeholder hash, and only the resolved hash is ever stored. The CLI passes --horizon through the same field. check-in: 54d75fbc78 user: [email protected] tags: main, trunk
