TapTap a5d45ef266 fix(parity): init delete_suppressed; gate deleted-path retention
- Initialize PipelineContextSender.delete_suppressed=false: an uninitialized
  true silently skipped the --delete keep-set manifest under -m/--threads,
  so destination extras were never removed.
- Allocate/install the receiver deleted-path observer only when
  report_deletes is set (--info=del / -i / --out-format under --delete), cap
  the retained list at MAX_MANIFEST_ENTRIES, and free already-created lists
  on the receiver-pipeline create failure path.
- Validate report_deletes/report_stats/report_dest_info on receive.
- Correct stale comments (config.h report_deletes, delete_plan.h deleted
  count, multiprocessing.h stats locking, utils.h observer placement).
- Tests: sender delete_suppressed init, report_deletes gating (unit), and
  -m/--delete default delete-after keep-set removal (integration).

Integration tests

The integration suite drives the built build/server and build/client against local corpora. Unit tests live in tests/ (the custom C framework); the Python suite here covers the full transfer pipeline, transports, features, and rsync parity.

Running

# Full suite (excludes privilege-dependent tests on CI runners)
python3 -m pytest tests/integration/ -n 4 --dist=load -m "not setpriv"

# Fast PR subset only
python3 -m pytest tests/integration/ -n 4 --dist=load -m ci

The tests expect build/server and build/client (configure/build with CMake first); common.py derives BUILD_DIR from the repository root.

Differential rsync-parity gate

test_differential_parity.py runs the same transfer with real rsync 3.4.1 and with FastSync over separate destinations, then compares:

  • the destination trees — relative paths, file content hashes, symlink targets, modes (where the case is about perms), and hard-link grouping;
  • the normalized stdout for output-oriented flags (-i, --out-format=..., --stats), after stripping volatile fields (timings, rates, wire byte counts) and directory-only itemize lines that FastSync's recursive scanner documents as absent.

FastSync mirrors the absolute source path under its receive root (see get_dest_received_dir); the harness normalizes that layout (and the -R/--files-from layouts) before comparing.

# Fast subset that guards the ✅ surface on pull requests
python3 -m pytest tests/integration/test_differential_parity.py -n 4 --dist=load -m parity_ci

# Full set (all ✅ cases plus the documented ⚠️/❌ residuals)
python3 -m pytest tests/integration/test_differential_parity.py -n 4 --dist=load -m parity

The suite skips cleanly when rsync is not installed.

Allowlist (parity_caveats.py)

parity_caveats.py is the single data-driven allowlist of known differences. Each entry maps a case id to the aspects that may differ (tree, stdout, extra, rc) and cites the governing row in RSYNC_COMPAT.md:

CAVEATS = {
    "min_size": {
        "tree": "recursive transfer does not create a source directory that "
                "becomes empty after --min-size filtering. ref: RSYNC_COMPAT.md "
                "`-d/--dirs` row and completion-wave residual.",
    },
}

A differential mismatch in an aspect that is not listed fails the gate with a readable tree/stdout diff.

If a case is allowlisted but now matches rsync, the gate emits a loud warning naming the stale entry — that is the parity burn-down signal. Run with FASTSYNC_PARITY_STRICT=1 to make stale entries fail instead (the full CI parity job sets this). To add a residual:

  1. Reproduce it with -m parity and read the failure's tree/stdout diff.
  2. Confirm it is a documented ⚠️/❌ residual (or get the ✅ row reclassified) and cite the row.
  3. Add the case id and aspect(s) to CAVEATS, keeping the reason concise.

Do not allowlist an undocumented divergence from a ✅ row — fix it or get the row reclassified first.
