Timeline

A reviewer decides from the commits before they look at a diff, and a record whose discussion the display omits is one people hold somewhere else. Both were already computed: the fold walks every reply to derive state, and the ancestry query answers the rest -- so this prints what was read and thrown away.

Ordering comes from ancestryLinearized, not mtime: two check-ins made in the same second must not invert, and the verb owns no ancestry ordering of its own. A state change renders as an event rather than a remark, so the on-the-wire marker never reaches a reader. Both lists are bounded and say when they cut. closed check-in: cff154d675 user: dmestas tags: landing-show

accept -R merges in a working area it creates and removes, materializing only the files both sides changed -- sparse-cone 4.4 resolves the rest into the record without writing them. The check-in is minted by the same commit path a checkout uses, so its F, P and R cards match a dense merge exactly.

A landing that does not merge cleanly exits 5 with the store byte-unchanged and each conflicting path named. A forge never holds a half-finished merge and never commits conflict markers; the author resolves it from their own checkout.

runMergeIn/runCommitIn take the checkout as a parameter instead of reading the process's cwd, which is what makes an ephemeral tree addressable without mutating global state. closed check-in: 8951bc9d1e user: dmestas tags: landing-bare-store

A landing is a forum thread plus a raw tag on the check-in that lands, so a stock fossil clone reads all of it and no new artifact kind is minted. open/ls/show/comment/accept/reject; accept merges and commits first, then records the outcome, so a partial failure leaves an open landing over merged work rather than an accepted record over an unmerged branch. check-in: c9ff7a71ea user: dmestas tags: trunk
