Timeline

fossil sends a batch of check-ins as one round with each manifest a delta against the previous one, and the scan reconstructed every pushed delta against the committed store, so the basis was never there and the round was refused as a malformed file card. Every multi-check-in push from a stock fossil failed. The scan now parks a delta whose basis is not held and settles it once the whole round is seen, to a fixpoint, so order within the round does not matter. A basis absent from both the store and the round is refused by name: error delta basis not held: TARGET against BASIS. Smoke S16 pushes three fossil check-ins in one round and checks all three landed. check-in: df556319a8 user: dmestas tags: trunk

The tracker is disposable and does not live with the source, so a number is a dangling pointer. Every zit#NN and #NN reference in code comments, test names, help text, smoke labels, identifiers, release notes and errata is replaced by enough context to stand alone, or by a short plain statement of the problem. No behaviour changed. check-in: 9033c13f21 user: dmestas tags: trunk

The ABNF and §10.1 already make every error card one fossilized TEXT; the unknown-operator prose writes "error bad command: LINE" and reads as four tokens. Records the wire form and the two-token client rule. check-in: ec7d3fc9f7 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Server error cards are encoded so a fossil client reads a refusal; remote refuses a non-URL. check-in: d11082197c user: dmestas tags: trunk

zit remote list saved the word list as the remote and reported success; the loss surfaced at the next push. The help already defines the argument as an http:// or https:// address, and the parser now holds it to that with a usage error that says there are no subcommands. A valid URL is still stored verbatim. check-in: c280025388 user: dmestas tags: trunk

The bad-command and malformed-card refusals were written with raw spaces, so on the wire they were four tokens. A stock fossil client reads an error card as two, reported the rest as unknown commands, dropped the refusal and printed its success summary; a refused push looked landed and re-sent the same artifacts on every autosync. Every error card is now assembled at one point with its text encoded, as fossil's own server writes it. A test drives each refusal through the emitter and fails on a raw space after the operator. check-in: 8f5dff81b0 user: dmestas tags: trunk

log opens once, on the zero-parse image; the open mode is declared, never defaulted. check-in: 61ae22616f user: dmestas tags: trunk, version-0.3.19

log reached past the open funnel and called Repository.open with the default options, which is the full record replay meant for write verbs, and did so twice for a symbolic name. On pkgsrc that was 0.94s before the first row; on the image path it is 0.05-0.10s, output byte-identical on every route. The open mode has no default any more: every direct caller declares it, so the next verb written past the funnel cannot inherit the expensive one silently. An e2e runs every log route under the derive-footprint seam and fails if any of them replays a record. check-in: 0910bc00f5 user: dmestas tags: trunk

A push trigger naming only a tag filter runs for tag pushes alone, so the tags-ignore alone ran nothing for two commits. branches: ['**'] restores every branch; the pin now allows exactly that form. check-in: c004c81e03 user: dmestas tags: trunk
