A fossil server folds artifacts past its ~100-entry unclustered window into cluster artifacts and stops announcing them with igot: the M cards become the announcement. The client stored a received cluster as ordinary content and read nothing from it, so no phantom appeared, the 3.7(a) continuation saw an empty table, and the exchange terminated after one round having fetched only the cluster. Repository size, not delta size, was the trigger; clone converges on the 8.2 RID cursor, not on gimme, so it was unaffected.

Client.absorbCluster folds the members into the phantom set with the disposition an igot for each would produce, so the next round gimmes them. Membership is validated before any is applied; a clone skips it for the reason it announces no igot. On the cfile path the container inflates into a scratch buffer, not through store.content, which would memoise plaintext.

Client.unresolvedPhantoms counts announced-but-unobtained artifacts; pull exits nonzero when a run reaches a clean terminal with any outstanding, so a pull that stops short of what the peer holds is no longer reported as success. closed check-in: 5535de0f45 user: dmestas tags: iss8
