Timeline

Use metadata preflight and fixed-size inflation for ordinary reference discovery too. Bound artifacts, parser cards, stored bytes and declared expansions before payload and parser allocations. Preserve unknown retention for corrupt compression.

Retain only classification fields and structural identities, copying kept tokens so discarded wiki/forum bodies, cluster inventories and metadata cannot be pinned. Compare empty and large-body fixtures and reject oversized expansion reservations. check-in: a3c6ddef9a user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk

Match Fossil 2.28 send_file and send_compressed_file payload gates. A source-first clone must expand a dependent when its stored basis is shunned rather than forwarding that withheld basis. Preserve private notices, authorization and SHA3 refusal ordering.

Exercise real encoded requests through the ordinary handler and Fossil HTTP oracle. Canonical compressed clone can name a shunned public basis without sending it; this server expands instead to preserve its source-first guarantee. check-in: a402aa5cc6 user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk

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

Exercise mixed held and nested missing S siblings after clearing and rebuilding derived tables. Repeated compaction preserves holdings and elided identities; ordinary sync must not request the rebuilt elided artifacts. check-in: 29a11b0aa8 user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk

Use raw cone references while independently verifying held bytes. Preserve leaves and nonterminal paths so missing descendants keep their range proofs. Exercise missing S nodes, stale derived indexes, and cancellation after an observed demotion. check-in: 55b3ca7155 user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk

Import content-only changes from ab9f98d845b8ff29fedea32ac65561959c564fd4, retaining optional forumpost table handling. check-in: 5220dbc3f3 user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk
