import-git: set seen_submanifest when the import stores one
The latch is one-way and means 'an S reference is stored here', not 'trees are enabled'. The import set enable_submanifests and left it false, which stayed hidden only because the §7.2 gate is the disjunction of the two -- a later 'zit submanifest disable' would have left the repository advertising avoid-submanifests while holding S-bearing artifacts. Derived from emitted_nodes, not from the k pin: an import whose sources all stay flat stores no S reference and must leave the latch false. check-in: 0b6e41e54f user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

logstore: test the config shape tag round-trips
Additive; covers the tagged trailing block and the legacy widths. check-in: 3392ff5a3e user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

update: use the repository's §5.2 tree resolver
Deletes the duplicate resolver in update.zig. The surviving path decodes S-card hashes case-insensitively per §3.5; the deleted one ran them through lowercase-only validateName and rejected a legal uppercase hash. TreeError codes mapped exhaustively rather than via else. check-in: 4a3061280e user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

submanifests: quote §6.4 as published, document the margin, shape-tag the config
Four blocks of prose attributed to §6.4 a sentence that appears nowhere in the draft; replaced with verbatim draft text. §6.4 requires the relative margin m to be documented, which a source comment does not discharge. `zit commit --help` now states the 15% threshold, with a test that renders drift_margin_pct and requires the help to contain it -- the prose and the constant cannot drift apart. The config frame's trailing block carries a shape tag, so an extension a reader cannot name costs one re-scan instead of an unreadable config (login, remote and project fields included). Legacy widths still parse. Names the §7.2 avoid-submanifests predicate: the pragma keys on the setting alone, not the armed disjunction, and that divergence is now visible at the call site. These four land together because D's deletion and E's addition are interleaved in one region of repository.zig with no hunk boundary between them. check-in: 999efb0fd9 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

comments: drop the unaccepted §6.4 erratum references
The auto-retune erratum was accepted and is in the draft body; these comments still said it was submitted and unapplied. Comments and one test name only. check-in: a2eb78b7be user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

merge trunk: the issue 22 clone fix reaches the submanifest bench
Bench now builds ReleaseSafe, which is the mode the O(store) asserts fired in, so without this the clone arm hits them at width. check-in: c1f44ba0ed user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

merge issue22-diagnostics: reclone got HTTP 500 on a healthy store
ReleaseSafe asserts made the clone answer O(store), and serve's 5s deadline raced read + answer + write as one unit -- so a slow answer was cancelled mid-flight and the dead pread surfaced as error.Storage. Asserts gone (zit verify covers them); the deadline now races read and write separately. Not scale-dependent -- machine speed vs a wall clock. Stalled peer still cut at 5.0s. test/gate/e2e/dst green. check-in: 94bebf57f1 user: dmestas tags: trunk | |

submanifest bench: report the real optimize mode, not a literal
The emitted `optimize` field was the string "ReleaseFast", hardcoded into the JSON format string rather than derived from anything. It reported ReleaseFast for every record the benchmark has ever written, whatever the executable was actually built as - so the one field whose job is to say which binary produced a measurement could not be wrong in a detectable way, only in a silent one. Now `@tagName(builtin.mode)`, alongside the os/arch tags beside it that were already derived that way. Found by switching bench to ReleaseSafe and watching `executable_sha256` change while `optimize` did not. check-in: be18ff3902 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

build: benchmarks measure the binary that ships, not ReleaseFast
`--release` resolves to ReleaseSafe here as a correctness decision: src/ carries over a thousand asserts that turn a detected inconsistency into a crash instead of a durable write, and ReleaseFast compiles every one of them away. The bench executables opted out of that on the grounds that "a benchmark must measure optimized code". Optimized, yes - but it has to be the code users run, or the number describes a binary nobody executes. This matters more than a uniform constant would suggest, because the cost is not uniform: the same rationale block records `zit pack` at 599 ms fast against 15.2 s safe on one store. A measurement taken in the mode that strips the asserts cannot be compared against, or used to make a claim about, the shipped artifact. `bench_zit` is the sharpest case - the serve benchmark spawns it as the real `zit` binary, so it stood in for production while being built unlike it. check-in: 30b7d5e766 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

serve: deadline bounds peer I/O, not our own answer
The 5s per-connection deadline raced read + answer + write as one unit, so a slow answer was indistinguishable from a stalled peer -- and cancelling mid-answer surfaced as error.Storage, telling the peer the repository was damaged. Issue #22. Read and write are raced separately, each with the full deadline; the answer runs unraced since it is bounded by the store, not the peer. Verified: a peer that sends one body byte and stalls is still cut at 5.0s; pikchr reclone passes. test 2327/2327, gate, e2e 671/671, dst 6x1000, fuzz serve_request_garbage. closed check-in: 73bdc2fef1 user: dmestas tags: issue22-diagnostics | |

sync: drop the O(store) asserts from the clone answer path
Under runtime_safety (ReleaseSafe -- the shipped build) emitCloneReply reconstructed every served artifact and its delta basis just to assert a declared size. That pushed a clone round past serve's 5s per-connection deadline, which cancels mid-answer; the in-flight pread then failed and the peer got HTTP 500 on a healthy store. Issue #22. zit verify checks the same properties on demand, which is where O(store) verification belongs. Also names the failure server-side: serve collapses every AnswerError into a bare 500, so serveAnswer now logs which one. Reclone verified green: wapp 1038, althttpd 1695, pikchr 2842, libfossil 17218 (18 rounds). test 2327/2327, gate, e2e 671/671, dst 6x1000. check-in: 879b867bb1 user: dmestas tags: issue22-diagnostics | |

dst storage sweep: the repair's own reopen is not workload under test
crashCheckOnce repairs by truncating below the earliest injected bitflip and reopening. When the truncation empties the log, that reopen writes a fresh header - and the injected short-write fault could land on it, so open returned Storage, the sweep mapped it to Io, and the run failed. Nothing there was a statement about the store: the simulator faulted its own recovery. The repair and its reopen now run against the healthy disk phase 2 heals to, the all-zero FaultCfg. Faults come back before the invariant check, which is workload again. Pre-existing: trunk fails seed 201 with the same Io. check-in: 9e3107e570 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

dst gen: check merge parents for cycles, not just the primary chain
The generator's own note says a real check-in DAG is acyclic by construction - a manifest's hash covers its P-card - while the phantom-parent flavor lets a hash be named before its record exists, so a later pick can close a loop and must be checked. The check only ever walked primary_parent_of, and the merge parent was drawn by pickInsertedIndex with the comment "no cycle risk". That holds for the primary chain alone. Section 3.3 ancestry, which the B1 tie-break walks, follows merge parents too: a merge edge into an already inserted check-in, paired with a phantom primary edge out of it, closes a loop the guard never looked at. ancestryMaximal then finds every candidate dominated and no maximal element, and panics - seed 192 built exactly that, 9 to 14 to 13 and back. parent_indices records every parent index a record names, wouldCloseCycle walks that graph visited-once, and the merge draw is checked like the primary one. A losing draw degrades to the single-parent record rather than drawing again, so the seeded stream shifts as little as it can. Pre-existing: trunk fails seed 192 identically, and gen.zig is byte-identical there. Only the default six seeds hid it. check-in: 992ff19a23 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

repostate: a check-in named twice in a tie must not eliminate itself
A name can reach the same check-in through two index entries, so one selection offers the same rid twice. MtimeMaxPick.offer keeps the first as `best` and appends the second to `tied`; winner then appends `best` back, so `tied` holds that rid twice. Ancestor sets are self-inclusive, so each copy found itself in the other's set. Dominance skipped only the same INDEX, so both copies were dominated, every candidate was eliminated, and the maximal element a finite DAG must have came up null - a panic on `best.?`, reached through resolveName. Dominance is about being a different check-in, not sitting at a different offset. The new test drives offer/winner directly, and also pins that a duplicate cannot shadow a real descendant. check-in: d3f58d2875 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

merge trunk: land the logstore slices, repair the sweep's rot oracle
Trunk's Slice 1/2 made both open paths header-only, so a rotted payload now opens clean and surfaces at content() instead of at open. The storage sweep still assumed open was the tripwire, so two of its own claims were wrong once the merge combined them with this branch's store: - crashCheckOnce repaired only "if the open itself reports corruption", a precondition Slice 2 removed. Injected rot reached the invariant check and read as data loss. NeedsRepair, private to the harness, now carries "refused AND genuinely damaged" to the repair that already existed. - rotWithinFrame spelled the per-frame overhead as 22, the header alone, so a frame's own trailing frame_crc32 counted as inert pad. A bitflip in those four bytes makes a reader recompute a correct checksum, compare it to a corrupted stored one, and refuse the frame; the sweep called that data loss. logstore now exports frame_fixed_overhead and the sweep derives it instead of respelling it. Both are trunk defects, not merge damage: trunk alone fails dst at seed 8. The merge only shifted the draws far enough to reach the first one at seed 3, inside the default gate's range. cli.zig's verb enum was the single textual conflict: a pure union of trunk's verify and this branch's submanifest and import-git. fmt, test, gate, dst green. check-in: 584314dcb7 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |
