Stage every successfully written file under a private 0700 .fastsync-stage
directory inside the receive root and atomically publish all staged files
only after the whole protocol stream (manifest/delete handling included)
has completed, immediately before the success/outcome frame. On any
abort/error before publication nothing is installed and staging is removed;
a publish failure aborts the transfer with best-effort cleanup of the
remainder (already-published files are not rolled back). Crash leftovers
are wiped when the next delayed transfer starts.
Wire: new delay_updates config flag (selection-options block), protocol
version bumped to 2.6.0, client/server validation rejects --inplace.
CLI/usage/validation updated. Works in single-threaded and -m modes
(exactly one write_thread stages files; the staged-file registry is
mutex-protected; publication runs once after both threads join).
--existing/--ignore-existing/--update decide against the final destination
at stage time; --backup is deferred to publication. remove_source_files
outcomes are only sent after publication so skipped/unpublished sources are
never deleted. Default (no flag) behavior is unchanged.
Tests: config wire round-trip, CLI parse, --inplace rejection, new
test_delay_updates unit suite (27 suites total), and integration
TestDelayUpdates covering single/-m parity, incremental reruns, remove
source files, receiver-skip ordering, and a deterministic publish-failure
abort path.
#251 --remove-source-files deletes sources that were skipped receiver-side
(--existing/--ignore-existing/--update). The receiver now reports a
per-file outcome for every processed data file when the sender requests
removal; the client only unlinks sources the receiver actually wrote.
add remove_source_files to the wire config and bump the protocol to 2.5.0.
#252 --backup/--suffix/--backup-dir broken by NULL-vs-empty wire loss. Receivers
canonicalize the empty wire string back to NULL for backup_dir, temp_dir,
partial_dir and suffix, and --suffix is received unconditionally.
#253 --partial --partial-dir never installed completed files. file_save_to_disk
now renames a fully written partial-dir file into the real destination.
#255 STATUS_CHECK read the entire old file before the size/mtime quick check.
Old contents are only read when a checksum compare or delta needs them.
#256 receive_delta_file failure paths did not set *failed, so the caller sent
STATUS_NEXT and waited for a body that never came. Every NULL return now
marks the transfer failed.
#257 files >64 MiB could not transfer. Whole-file receive caps raised to the
256 MiB connection/allocation ceiling (chunk caps stay 64 MiB) and the
client ignores SIGPIPE so a server-side close surfaces as a clean error.
Unit tests added: config NULL-vs-empty round trip, incremental quick-check
skip/NEXT paths, delta oversize failure, partial-dir install, save-result
skip reporting.
The Phase 1 merge conflict resolutions introduced formatting that failed
the CI lint job (clang-format 18.1.3). Reformatted with the exact CI
version; no functional changes.
