Adds the exclude_protect_dest_only differential and flips --delete-excluded
to parity now that receiver-side rules protect a destination-only excluded
entry like rsync; tally 116/10/31.
- new bounded config-wire block (BLOCK_PROTECT_RULES) serializes the sender's
compiled filter rules to the receiver (bounded count + 256 KiB patterns;
strict action/sides validation)
- receiver evaluates protect/risk in the whole-tree extras walk and the
per-directory delete plans, so a dest-only entry matching 'P' is kept like
rsync; dry-run would-delete enumeration also honours it
- --filter flips to parity (115/11/31); per-dir merge receiver re-derivation
remains the documented residual
- when --progress/--info=progress is requested, a metadata-only pre-scan
builds the full file-list total and directory names so the to-chk
denominator counts every regular/dir/link/special entry like rsync
- per-directory/symlink/special name lines emitted; sequential and --threads
- reuses the --delete-during/delay pre-scan when present; non-progress runs
take no extra pass
- --progress stays a caveat (emission order still differs); single-file output
remains byte-identical
The max_delete case allowlisted the tree aspect because the surviving extras after a partial --max-delete abort are deletion-order dependent. Under FASTSYNC_PARITY_STRICT a run where the orders coincide was reported as a stale entry (CI failure), while removing the entry made the order-dependent tree mismatch fail. Add a per-case 'compare_tree' flag: max_delete now asserts rc=25 plus the survivor count via extra_check instead of exact tree identity, so the allowlist can be empty. Burn-down reached zero.
- --iconv now matches rsync's push direction: the destination charset is the
client spec's REMOTE half, so a default receiver writes wire names verbatim;
a server's own --iconv LOCAL overrides it (daemon charset analog). Updated
unit + integration tests and added a default-server differential gate case.
- Empty-directory emission is gated behind a new ScannerOptions.emit_empty_dirs
set only by the real sender, so low-level scanner helpers keep the historical
file-only list.
- --temp-dir reclassified to Divergent: relative dirs match rsync exactly
(resolved under the destination), but an absolute path is deliberately
rejected by the confined receiver; differential test added.
- Docs/tally: 109 Parity / 22 Caveat / 25 Divergent.
- Recursive scans emit a directory entry for every traversed directory that
produced no transferred child, so empty source dirs (and dirs emptied by
filtering) are recreated like rsync; -m prunes them, --files-from/--list-only
never emit implicit dirs.
- A directory entry now replaces a destination regular file (rsync removes the
non-directory) instead of aborting; confined to the secure parent fd.
- -R --no-implied-dirs --files-from: stop refusing a listed file whose parent
is not listed; create the implied parent with default attributes (no source
metadata is captured for it), matching rsync 3.4.1.
- Differential gate: drop min_size/empty_dirs_recursive/dirs_plain allowlist
entries (dirs_plain now hands FastSync the same trailing-slash source as
rsync); add differential test for the files-from implied parent.
- Docs: -d row -> Parity, tally 108/24/24.
No wire change (PROTOCOL_VERSION stays 2.26.0).
Add tests/integration/test_differential_parity.py plus a shared
parity_harness.py and a data-driven parity_caveats.py allowlist. The gate
runs real rsync 3.4.1 and FastSync over the same corpora, compares the
destination trees (paths, hashes, symlink targets, modes, hard-link
grouping) and the normalized -i/--stats/--out-format output, and fails on
any difference not listed in the allowlist. Stale allowlist entries warn
(or fail under FASTSYNC_PARITY_STRICT=1) so the residual list shrinks.
Register parity/parity_ci markers and wire a fast PR job (parity_ci) plus a
push-only full job (parity, strict) into .gitea/workflows/ci.yaml.
Document the gate and the allowlist workflow in tests/integration/README.md.
