Ignore zig-pkg/ (the build's local extraction dir for fetched C dependencies), so the zstd dep's source tree never shows as an untracked extra or risks being swept into a commit. closed check-in: b165f47caa user: dmestas tags: zstd-phase0
05:39
Add the pack-time zstd encoder seam (foundation for local storage compression). Vendors allyourcodebase/zstd (C libzstd) via zig fetch, confined to a new src/zstd.zig module so the core zit library stays C-free; the runtime read path decodes with pure-Zig std.compress.zstd. Frames carry no content checksum (zit verifies section 7.7 over uncompressed bytes; 0.16 std's zstd checksum path is unimplemented). Proven: libzstd level-19 encode round-trips byte-identically through std decode, and encoding is deterministic for pack idempotence. check-in: a409e20ab8 user: dmestas tags: zstd-phase0
03:39
Create new branch named "zstd-phase0" check-in: 6178e2c929 user: dmestas tags: zstd-phase0
02:55
Merge eager-image: warm the derivation cache at clone-end so the first read after a clone is the zero-parse image path (cold first-read leaves 26s → 0.03s), best-effort and clone-only. check-in: bf8b63f32c user: dmestas tags: trunk
02:52
Warm the derivation cache at clone-end so the first read isn't a cold derive: runClone now calls Repository.warmCache after the final log append, which runs open's own miss path (derive → serialize the zero-parse image → store .zit-cache) so the first leaves/branch/name-resolution read takes the image fast path. Measured on a real clone: cold first-read leaves 26.0s → 0.03s, byte-identical. Best-effort — a warm failure leaves the clone correct with the old lazy first-read, never fails the clone (repostate §7.3 rebuild fallback). closed check-in: 85d8080ec8 user: dmestas tags: eager-image
02:27
Create new branch named "eager-image" check-in: 5b2ba7331c user: dmestas tags: eager-image
01:57
Merge zerocache: materialized-image warm reads (84x faster leaves load) with load-time-validated fallback, closing the read-path perf gap. Phase B (full SoA image) not warranted — the image load is under 1% of the derivation it replaced. check-in: 13cfa27494 user: dmestas tags: trunk
01:54
Serve warm reads from a materialized column image instead of re-deriving RepoState, cutting a warm leaves load 178.6us to 2.12us (84x). At cache write, dense integer-addressed columns for the mtime index, leaf image, and symbolic-name table are appended to the versioned .zit-cache; on a fast_read open the freed queries (mtimeOf/isLeaf/isOpenLeaf/leaves/branchOf/resolveName per repostate 7.1/7.4/7.5/8.2) answer from those columns with zero derivation. Load-time span validation range-checks every column, CSR span, and stored id and returns a miss (fall back to derive) on any violation or CRC/layout/log-tail mismatch, so a corrupt or stale image is never a wrong answer. RepoState's public API is unchanged; only leaves opts in, cold verbs keep the derive path. Technique: on-disk zero-parse caching after Richard Feldman's Roc and Andrew Kelley's Zig compiler (common in game engines per Casey Muratori); typed enum(u32) index families after the compact_arena crate. closed check-in: ae242f5563 user: dmestas tags: zerocache

Create new branch named "zerocache" check-in: 6542332151 user: dmestas tags: zerocache
00:38
Merge warmprobe: land the warm-read timing bench that gates read-path perf work on measured re-derivation share (98% of warm load on althttpd). check-in: 8ccef5b6bd user: dmestas tags: trunk
00:36
Add a warm-read timing bench (zig build bench) that splits a cache-warm read into cache-body I/O, RepoState re-derivation, and formatting, so read-path perf work is gated on measured phase shares. On the althttpd store re-derivation is 98% of warm load. closed check-in: b93d0f9dd6 user: dmestas tags: warmprobe
00:23
Create new branch named "warmprobe" check-in: a9a7b2cf4d user: dmestas tags: warmprobe
00:22
Merge cli onto trunk: land the zit.Repository facade and the ls, cat, commit --branch/--close, revert, and sync-with-persisted-remote verbs (CLI milestones M0-M4), each built plan-review-commit against the artifact, repostate, and sync RFCs. check-in: 96784cbe6f user: dmestas tags: trunk
00:19
Merge trunk into cli: integrate the T-card sign-ordering fix, the F-card read-lenient import shim, and the streaming-clone memory fix ahead of landing the CLI verbs. Unify the duplicated sign->byte helper onto TSign.byte() (dropping the parallel signByte free function) and keep both branches' §4.7.16 ordering tests. closed check-in: 41aeb64521 user: dmestas tags: cli
2026-07-16
23:59
Add a bidirectional sync verb and a persisted default remote so pull, push, and sync can omit the URL and resolve it from a new local config field per sync §4/§6 check-in: b5a9919379 user: dmestas tags: cli
23:06
Add commit --branch/--close to start or close a branch by emitting the repostate §6.2 branch and sym tags while cancelling inherited parent syms, plus a revert verb restoring managed files to their artifact §8.4 effective check-in blobs check-in: 9f08c51525 user: dmestas tags: cli
22:18
Merge fcard-import: read-lenient import path lets zit parse fossil's legacy trailing-space F cards (interop with pre-2009 history) while the strict parser, writer, and RFC stay pure and artifact identity is unchanged. check-in: f98cb9177c user: dmestas tags: trunk
22:16
Add a read-lenient import path so zit can read fossil's own pre-2009 history: parseForImport tolerates the single legacy trailing space on fossil F cards (a cvs2fossil quirk, non-conforming per artifact-format 4.2) by stripping one dangling separator per F card ONLY after the strict parse rejects and the original Z self-checksum validates, re-sealing Z on an ephemeral copy that never touches storage, serve, or identity. The strict parser, the writer, and the RFC stay unchanged; artifacts keep their original hash. closed check-in: cca7dc06a2 user: dmestas tags: fcard-import
21:39
Add a zit cat verb emitting one file's uncompressed content at a resolved check-in through the Repository facade, per artifact-format §8.4 single-name lookup and §7.2 hash-verified blob reconstruction check-in: d0ef5067bb user: dmestas tags: cli
21:38
Create new branch named "fcard-import" check-in: d3be8fe4ac user: dmestas tags: fcard-import
21:10
Merge stream-clone: cut clone peak memory 14.2 GB -> 291 MB (fossil parity) by storing received frames wire-backed instead of buffering the whole repo's reconstructed plaintext, with section 7.7 verification moved onto the log-basis reconstruction path (a stronger round-trip parity guard). check-in: 77e2541742 user: dmestas tags: trunk
21:08
Stop buffering the whole repository's reconstructed plaintext in RAM during clone: store received frames wire-backed and verify each durable frame's section 7.7 hash against its log-basis reconstruction (sync 7.2/7.4), cutting a sqlite clone's peak memory from 14.2 GB to 291 MB with a byte-identical store and a matching trunk hash. closed check-in: 9a18bdd63d user: dmestas tags: stream-clone
21:06
Add a zit ls verb listing a check-in's effective file set through the Repository facade, per artifact-format §8.2 file enumeration check-in: 6ee0c0e855 user: dmestas tags: cli
20:39
Merge tcard-order: fix T-card run ordering to key on the full sign-included name token (artifact-format 4.7.16), clearing 159 wrongly-rejected branch-switch check-ins that broke zit log on deep histories. check-in: b4f2ae0ceb user: dmestas tags: trunk
20:37
Order T-card runs by the full sign-included name token per artifact-format 4.7.16, not the sign-stripped name, so branch-switch check-ins with interleaved propagate/cancel tags (T *sym-trunk / T -sym-clear-title) parse instead of being wrongly rejected as out-of-order. closed check-in: a2fa7629c6 user: dmestas tags: tcard-order
20:27
Fold the store layers and RepoView behind one zit.Repository facade so read verbs open a repo, resolve names, and read content through a single deep interface check-in: 513397e07a user: dmestas tags: cli
20:15
Create new branch named "tcard-order" check-in: 83a1201013 user: dmestas tags: tcard-order
20:06
Create new branch named "stream-clone" check-in: 14f733376d user: dmestas tags: stream-clone
19:14
Merge trunk onto cli: bring the branch tip up to the verbatim-serve, delta-cfile, repostate cache, container codec, and storage-benchmark work before starting the CLI facade milestones. check-in: a81d55773e user: dmestas tags: cli
16:49
Make zit pack monotonic so it never inflates a store: preserve each source frame verbatim (re-linking delta containers to their base's new rid) and re-deltify a full-form frame only when the result is strictly smaller, fixing a regression that discarded wire deltas and grew a fresh clone 8.65x. check-in: eb9a1de034 user: dmestas tags: trunk
16:40
Make pack monotonic: preserve stored wire deltas verbatim instead of reconstructing every frame to full form, which inflated a delta-bearing store many times over closed check-in: 50a4b5d049 user: dmestas tags: packfix
14:54
Add a storage measurement mode to the bench harness (zig build bench -- storage): report bytes at rest by frame kind and artifact type, per-frame overhead, full-form compression headroom, and serve CPU, so storage-efficiency work is chosen on measured data rather than guesses. check-in: a48a0010ef user: dmestas tags: trunk
14:51
Add a storage bench mode reporting bytes at rest by frame-kind and artifact-type plus serve CPU, so the storage-efficiency ideas can be weighed against measured numbers before any claim. closed check-in: e782228b2d user: dmestas tags: sbench
14:25
Add a zit pack command that repacks the store into a compact new-generation log: whole-frame-verify the source read-only, re-ingest every artifact in offset order re-deltaing full-form frames against lineage bases, then atomically swap via a fsynced temp — a crash before the rename leaves the original byte-identical, and it doubles as an integrity scrub. check-in: de49e67c9f user: dmestas tags: trunk
14:16
Add a zit pack verb that repacks the store into a compact new generation: re-ingest every artifact in offset order through a parent-manifest and same-path-blob lineage hint so full-form frames re-delta against their basis, recompute each reconstruction's hash against its name before writing it (repo-state §7.7), and swap the rewritten log in with an atomic rename so a crash before the swap leaves the original store byte-identical. closed check-in: 43dccab01c user: dmestas tags: pack
13:38
Store cloned artifacts as compact delta frames: retain fossil's reverse-delta containers through the dangling queue and persist each basis before the delta that points at it, so a clone from a fossil origin keeps the server's deltas instead of re-inflating every artifact to full form — cutting on-disk size to roughly 0.6x of the full-form store, matching fossil's own delta count. check-in: 9853f8b93e user: dmestas tags: trunk
13:28
Keep fossil's reverse-delta containers through the dangling queue and persist each basis frame before the delta that points at it, so a clone from a fossil origin stores compact delta frames instead of re-inflating every artifact to full form. closed check-in: 0ebc7991f0 user: dmestas tags: storage
13:26
Merge the sync-protocol re-sync onto trunk: ratify the container-capacity and clone-igot clarifications that match the reference implementation and zit's own behavior. check-in: 61fde8dec1 user: dmestas tags: trunk
13:23
Re-sync the sync-protocol draft: the container length field is a receiver capacity, so a decoded stream shorter than the advertised value must not be rejected (4.1), and igot is never applicable during clone rounds (8.2 / Table 2) — both aligning the text with the reference implementation. closed check-in: d708b4a2f2 user: dmestas tags: rfc-resync
11:26
Stop the clone client re-announcing every held artifact with igot each round: a clone enables no push direction (sync 8.2/8.5) so the server ignores those cards, and dropping them cuts a 50k-artifact clone request from ~88 MB to under 2 KB while convergence still rides the server's RID cursor. check-in: 289e073d9c user: dmestas tags: trunk

Wire zit_storage and zit_logstore into the fuzz executable so the seeded fuzz suite compiles again: its sim helpers and logstore targets import those modules, which every other build artifact already provides but the fuzz exe was missing. check-in: 490977ea08 user: dmestas tags: trunk

09:58
Add --no-cache to the read-only repo-state verbs (leaves, branch, info, tag): bypass the .zit-cache memo and force a full-log re-derive, giving a first-class integrity/debug escape hatch that re-verifies the whole log instead of trusting the O(1) tail check. check-in: 5af2298bc9 user: dmestas tags: trunk
09:55
Add --no-cache to the read-only repo-state verbs to bypass the persisted cache and force a full-log re-derive that re-verifies whole-log integrity closed check-in: 6e3529ad92 user: dmestas tags: nocache
09:40
Add a persisted derivation cache so repo-state verbs skip re-deriving all of history: cache the crosslink inputs keyed on the append-only log's tail and replay them on a hit, cutting a warm 'zit leaves' on a 130k-artifact repo from ~103s to 0.21s with byte-identical output and a full rebuild on any log change or corruption. check-in: e1f401fa0d user: dmestas tags: trunk
09:38
Document that a cache hit skips whole-log integrity, so interior bitrot preserving size and tail is served until a rebuild — deleting .zit-cache restores full detection. closed check-in: 31e140ddbc user: dmestas tags: cache
09:28
Memoize the derived repo view in a disposable .zit-cache sidecar so read-only verbs answer sub-second at fossil scale instead of rescanning the whole log on every invocation. check-in: 08504d5f5d user: dmestas tags: cache
07:28
Extract the sync 4.1 zlib container codec into one leaf module: the three copies had drifted — logstore and repostate rejected valid containers whose zlib stream decodes to fewer bytes than the declared capacity, stricter than 4.1's output-capacity semantics — so unify on the spec-correct decode and retire the duplication. check-in: 0b8ff7a1f8 user: dmestas tags: trunk
07:23
Extract the §4.1 zlib container codec into one leaf module (src/container.zig) so logstore, repostate, and sync share a single §4.1-capacity-semantics implementation instead of three drifting copies. closed check-in: 0e5cc09150 user: dmestas tags: container
07:05
Retain received cfiles verbatim on the clone client: store each artifact's received container or delta as-is after verifying its hash over the reconstructed content, so delta compactness survives clone-of-clone and client disk roughly halves — and reject a lying-named push the server previously accepted. check-in: a5ef5d18c0 user: dmestas tags: trunk
06:53
Retain received cfile containers and deltas verbatim on the clone client so delta compactness survives a clone-of-clone, verifying each reconstructed artifact's hash at the persist commit hook before storing the wire form rather than re-expanding every received delta to full form. closed check-in: 5526cf3536 user: dmestas tags: d4
