Remove docs/plans/bench benchmark-run JSON from tracking; ignore docs/plans

These four bench-run outputs (baseline / step2-pickbase / step3-pack-redeltify / step4-samepath) were measurement artifacts committed under docs/plans/bench — they do not belong in version control (docs/ is for the RFCs only). Remove them from the tip and add docs/plans/* to the versioned ignore-glob so the pattern cannot recur. They remain in the historical check-ins that added them (9aaf485847 and the integration merges) — Fossil history is immutable; purging them from provenance entirely would require fossil shun, deliberately not done. check-in: 0ad7fa92c6 user: dmestas tags: trunk

17:12
Merge trunk into storage: bring in the converged trunk (storage pack work + the cli verb slice — annotate, bisect, extras, merge3, undo, cherrypick/backout) so the dict lever (§2.2 preset-dictionary compression) builds on current state. check-in: 09748596dc user: dmestas tags: storage
17:08
Merge cli: the cli-verbs-2 survey slice — seven new verbs

Lands amend, artifact, bisect, log PATH, annotate, merge --cherrypick/--backout, and addremove — the VCS-verb-survey recommendations — onto trunk, already integrated with the storage branch's pack re-deltification.

- amend: mint display-metadata T cards, never rewrite history (also corrects the git-reflex table's wrong immutability lesson). - artifact: the plumbing window (whatis + raw dump) over the one parser. - bisect: DAG binary search (bad/good/next/status/reset), state in .zit-bisect. - log PATH: per-file history folded into log (fossil finfo). - annotate: per-line provenance; the version chain is ordered by TOPOLOGY (matching fossil's generation walk), not mtime, so a parent is never misattributed to its child on a timestamp collision. - merge --cherrypick/--backout: alternate-baseline special merges recording a 4.7.14 Q card, rendered by info; the plain merge surface is byte-identical. - addremove: one sweep, add every extra and drop every missing.

Built decomposed (focused implementers + adversarial review) after the monolithic workflow thrashed on API instability. 1678 unit + 376 e2e + dst 6x1000 green. check-in: e5fffafdb8 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Merge trunk into cli: integrate the storage pack work with the verb slice

Brings trunk bab930 (the storage branch's at-rest re-deltification / zit pack generational rewrite, plus src/pack.zig and its bench baselines) into the cli-verbs-2 slice. One conflict, in src/root.zig — both branches added a module export at the same spot; resolved by keeping both (pub const bisect and pub const pack). logstore.zig and main.zig auto-merged. Integrated tree green: 1678 unit + 376 e2e; the seven new verbs and the pack pass together. closed check-in: e640119891 user: dmestas tags: cli

Merge storage: at-rest re-deltification closes most of the content-bytes gap

fossil-style best-of-N delta base selection (pickBase, plan §5) plus a `zit pack` re-deltification pass with a monotonic-shrink guard (§6.1) and same-path candidates (§6.2). At-rest only: all four RFCs conformant, wire interop preserved, every repacked frame hash-verified against the log.

Measured (whole-file, index-inclusive): sqlite: 207.3 MB -> 174.4 MB (1.40x -> 1.18x vs fossil 147.7 MB) fossil-scm: 117.5 MB -> 108.1 MB (1.63x -> 1.50x vs fossil 72.2 MB)

The monotonic-shrink guard (keep the smaller of {existing frame, re-encoding}) is what turned re-deltifying a clone of fossil-quality wire deltas into a net win instead of a +33% regression. check-in: bab9303056 user: dmestas tags: trunk
