Merge iss6: open --manifest writes the working-tree manifest files

Repositories that enable fossil's manifest setting expect manifest, manifest.uuid and manifest.tags in the checkout, and their builds read them to stamp a version. A zit checkout could not produce them, so such a build failed or, worse, succeeded with no version embedded. zit open --manifest writes them; the bare flag means ru, and a value picks any combination of r (the check-in artifact), u (its hash) and t (its branch and symbolic tags). The choice is recorded in the checkout record, so every later update refreshes the files; absent flag writes nothing. The selection is explicit rather than read from the cloned repository because the two places fossil keeps it can disagree and only one syncs, so a checkout reading the setting could diverge from a fossil checkout carrying a local override while claiming fidelity. Contents match fossil byte for byte, including the sterilizing comment it appends to manifest. check-in: b38b3be769 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Merge iss4: zit stat, the store's own byte accounting and artifact roll

The store could not be interrogated from outside a checkout: no way to ask how many artifacts it holds, which ones, or how many of its bytes are content rather than framing. zit stat answers from one pass over the frames -- store-bytes, content-bytes, frame overhead, artifact and delta counts. Content is summed from each frame's payload during the walk, never derived from the .zit file size, which also carries the store header, a per-frame header and padding; a size-derived figure would look like a result and be a fabrication, so the two stay separate fields and the overhead between them stays checkable. --artifacts lists the stored hashes for comparison across stores. The frame walk and its accounting live in storestat, shared with the storage benchmark, so the verb inherits the benchmark's exact-accounting test and the two cannot drift. check-in: 921678c019 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Merge iss8: pull converges past the server's unclustered window

A fossil server folds artifacts older than its ~100-entry unclustered window into clusters and stops announcing those members with igot -- the M cards are the announcement. The client stored a received cluster as ordinary content and read nothing from it, so a pull past that window fetched only the cluster and then terminated, silently, having gained nothing. Cluster membership now folds into the phantom set, so the next round gimmes the members. A pull that reaches a clean terminal still lacking artifacts the peer announced now exits nonzero, rather than reporting a success that leaves a repository quietly out of date. check-in: 8d3ebc0c9d user: dmestas tags: trunk

stat: the content-bytes e2e gets an oracle it shares no code with

The honesty test asserted that content-bytes below store-bytes and that the byte fields sum to the file. Both hold for anything of the form `size - k`: one because a subtraction is smaller, the other because it is that subtraction's identity. The test named the defect it existed to catch and could not see it.

`statOracle` now totals frames from the store's per-rid index -- `payloadLenOf` for content, `frameSpanOf` less payload for overhead -- and the test pins the printed fields to it. It shares nothing with `storestat.walk`, so `size - header_len` for content now fails, as does overhead taken across all frames. One fabrication stays invisible and the test says so: subtracting the walk's own overhead and config from the size IS the measurement.

`stat_help` sat between `status_help` and its doc comment, so that comment documented the wrong constant and claimed an e2e transcription `stat` lacked. Restored, documented, and written.

A repeated `--type` was silent last-wins; a usage error now. runStat claimed "one pass" over two traversals; the claim goes, not the open, which verifies what the walk trusts. closed check-in: 0e1f7a719a user: dmestas tags: iss4
