Address review findings on feat/rsync-parity:
- confine --temp-dir below the receive root (reject absolute/.. like
backup-dir/partial-dir); keep EXDEV non-atomic fallback
- floor server session I/O deadlines at SERVER_IO_TIMEOUT_SEC (60s) and
install it on the socket layer at startup (slow-loris)
- charge each --delete-missing-args directory removal once and clamp the
extras-walk remaining budget so it can never underflow past --max-delete
- normalize --compress-choice=auto to zstd client-side and accept it on
receive so auto transfers no longer fail
- map received --max-alloc=0 to MAX_SERVER_ALLOC (receive path only)
- zero File.dest_state; include log-file-format in report_dest_info;
add STATUS_DELETE_LIMIT name; recognize --skip-compress as a
separate-value option; OOM-guard send_list_only root entry; drop the
dead -M= branch; record the bare relative protected prefix for -R
size-prunes in both scanners; refresh delete-manifest comment
- pin the rsync tarball sha256 and bump integrator image to v11
Tests: temp-dir rejection/relative/cross-device, server timeout floor,
delete-missing dir budget regression, compress-choice=auto e2e,
max-alloc=0 receive mapping, dest_state, report_dest_info modes,
skip-compress dash value, -M short forms, -R root size-prune mirror
protection (rsync 3.4.1 confirmed).
Split FastSync's single use_metadata bundle into four independent rsync-parity attributes: preserve_perms, preserve_times, preserve_owner, preserve_group. use_metadata is now a derived transport bit (config_derived_use_metadata).
CLI: real -p/--perms, -t/--times, -o/--owner, -g/--group plus --no-perms/--no-times/--no-owner/--no-group (short and long) and --no-preserve; -a is now rsync -rlptgoD; --preserve = -pt; -A implies -p; -X does not; --chmod implies -p; --usermap/--groupmap/--chown imply owner/group per side; --incremental/--delta still auto-preserve unless negated.
Receiver: per-attribute FileAttrPolicy gating for files, dirs (modes applied at end of transfer), symlinks and specials; rsync -E read-bit rule; new files get source_mode & ~umask sanitized (no group/other write); per-side identity resolution; deferred directory metadata; batch dir-metadata replay; daemon modules without 'client owner = yes' no longer refuse plain -a but force super off (no ownership) with a warning.
Wire: PROTOCOL_VERSION 2.21.0 -> 2.22.0 (four appended config bools, golden 653 / 95530566005420798). FileMetadata/chunk/batch framing unchanged. Docs/CHANGELOG/CMake updated to 2.22.0.
Today a server rejection sends a bare STATUS_ERROR and the reason only
reaches the server log, so the client cannot say why a transfer was
refused. Add an optional, bounded server->client error-detail frame:
- Status gains STATUS_ERROR_DETAIL appended LAST so existing wire
values are unchanged.
- send_error_detail(fd, msg) sends STATUS_ERROR_DETAIL followed by the
existing length-prefixed string primitive, slicing over-long messages
to MAX_ERROR_DETAIL_BYTES (4096).
- receive_status() (and the timed/keepalive status readers) always
consume the detail body and map the status back to STATUS_ERROR,
capturing the text into a thread-local buffer exposed by
protocol_last_error(); a bare STATUS_ERROR leaves it cleared. Every
existing call site keeps working and the stream cannot desync.
- Upgrade the daemon module gate / config validation (config.c), the
final transfer failure (server.c) and receiver-side path/node
validation (file_receive.c) to send a concrete reason; surface it on
the client in client_send.c/config.c.
- Bump PROTOCOL_VERSION to 2.21.0 (CMake VERSION, CHANGELOG, docs) and
update the pinned config wire golden hash / CLI-version tests.
- Add tests/test_protocol_error.c covering mapping+capture, the
over-long bound, bare-error clearing, and thread-locality.
- pr-review: replace invalid 'tea pr comment' with 'tea comment' (the
former is not a tea subcommand)
- integrator: drop stray '-M' from client examples (-M is now
--remote-option and requires an argument), use the canonical pytest
integration command, and bump the CI image tag to v10
- test-writer: build fuzz targets via -DENABLE_FUZZ=ON instead of
hand-rolled -fsanitize flags; fix the fuzz binary path
- cmake-expert: document -DSANITIZER=undefined, which is now live in
CMakeLists.txt
- README: add --allow-unauthenticated to the plain-TCP server example,
use --preserve for metadata (not -M), and use the canonical
integration command
- AGENTS.md: use the canonical integration command
The agent and skill definitions had drifted badly from the current
codebase and tooling, repeating the same class of bug as the benchmark
tool (references to nonexistent scripts and invented flags):
- Replace the removed `python3 test.py` with the real integration
command (`python3 -m pytest tests/integration/ -n 4 --dist=load
-m "not setpriv"`) across agents and skills.
- Fix `feature-scout`'s fabricated CLI flag list (--host, --server-mode,
--use-* etc.) using the authoritative src/client/usage.c flags.
- Fix `perf-analyst` benchmark flags (-m -c -> -j -z) and point at
benchmark/bench.py instead of stale numbers.
- Correct `code-explainer` (no getopt_long; --sendfile not -f) and
version drift in the release skill (1.1.0 -> 2.20.0).
- Replace GitHub/`gh` workflows with Gitea/`tea` (PRs target dev; issues
via tea; branch strategy updated in all agents).
- Use the built-in `-DSANITIZER=address|thread` CMake option instead of
hand-rolled -fsanitize flags.
- Add `-p 8080 --allow-unauthenticated` to plain-TCP server examples.
- Merge the redundant security-screener into security-auditor; drop the
duplicate (16 agents remain).
Repo hygiene: gitignore `root/` and `test_partial_install_tmp/`, remove
the empty leftover trees, delete the tracked scratch scripts tmux.sh and
to_one_file.py, and note the compile_commands.json symlink in README.
The benchmark tool used stale rsync-style spellings that map to
different FastSync options, so it never enabled the features it
claimed to measure:
-c -> --checksum (not compression)
-m -> --prune-empty-dirs (not multithreading)
-s -> --secluded-args, a no-op (not chunk serialization)
-f -> --filter, needs an argument (not sendfile)
Replace them with the real flags (-z, -j, --chunk-serialization,
--sendfile), force CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, route informational
output to stderr so --output json emits valid JSON, surface
client/rsync failures instead of silently dropping them, and widen
the results table for the longer config names. Update the benchmark
skill to match (correct flags, server invocation, and replace the
nonexistent test.py --full with benchmark/bench.py).
