TapTap 3432a33d9a docs(parity): finalize rsync-parity docs for protocol 2.26.0
Reclassify the RSYNC_COMPAT matrix after the parity-completion wave (protocol
2.23.0 -> 2.26.0): 9 already-parity rows to parity, 17 inherently non-rsync
rows to divergent, and the genuine fixes to parity, recounting to
109 parity / 25 caveat / 23 divergent of 157 rows. Add rows for --bwlimit,
--partial, --partial-dir, --no-whole-file, --inc-recursive/--no-inc-recursive,
--protect-args and --msgs2stderr; fix the documented -f/filter, -F/.rsync-filter,
empty --files-from, and --preallocate/--sparse precedence bugs; add the Parity
Completion Wave section.

Refresh README/HANDOFF/release skill/cmake-expert to protocol 2.26.0 and the
zlib/lz4 + md4/sha1/none codecs, add the CHANGELOG 2.26.0 entry, and correct
the stale --max-delete --help wording.

release Prepares a FastSync release — version bump, changelog, build verification, and git tagging. Use when the user says "prepare release", "bump version", "tag release", or wants to cut a new version.

Release Skill

Prepares a new release of FastSync. This skill CAN edit files, commit, and tag.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Version

Ask the user or determine from context:

  • Major (X.0.0) — breaking protocol changes, incompatible CLI changes
  • Minor (x.Y.0) — new features, backward compatible
  • Patch (x.y.Z) — bug fixes, no protocol changes

Current version: PROTOCOL_VERSION "2.26.0" in src/shared/config.h

Step 2: Check Protocol Version

If the wire protocol changed, bump PROTOCOL_VERSION in src/shared/config.h:

#define PROTOCOL_VERSION "1.2.0"  // or "2.0.0" for breaking

Protocol version changes require:

  • Both client and server to be updated together
  • Backward compatibility considerations documented
  • Migration path clear

Step 3: Verify Build and Tests

rm -rf build
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)
./build/tests
python3 -m pytest tests/integration/ -n 4 --dist=load -m "not setpriv"

ALL tests must pass before release.

Step 4: Run Sanitizer Checks

# ASan
rm -rf build-asan
cmake -B build-asan -S . -DSANITIZER=address
cmake --build build-asan -j$(nproc)
./build-asan/tests

Step 5: Update README (If Needed)

Check if README needs updates:

  • New features documented
  • New CLI flags documented
  • Benchmark results updated
  • Build instructions current

Step 6: Create Release Commit

git add -A
git commit -m "Release vX.Y.Z

- <list of changes>
- Protocol version: X.Y.Z
- Tested: unit tests, integration tests, ASan"

Step 7: Tag the Release

git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release vX.Y.Z"

Step 8: Push and Open dev → main PR

main is protected and only receives changes via dev → main PRs (see AGENTS.md). Never push directly to main.

# Push the release commit and tag to dev
git push origin dev
git push origin vX.Y.Z

# Open the dev → main release PR for review + CI
tea pr create --repo TapTap/FastSync --head dev --base main \
  --title "Release vX.Y.Z" \
  --description "Release vX.Y.Z"

Then wait for the full CI to pass and request review before the PR is merged to main.

Step 9: Report

=== RELEASE SUMMARY ===
Version: vX.Y.Z
Protocol: X.Y.Z
Commit: <hash>
Tag: vX.Y.Z
Changes:
  - <list of changes in this release>
Build: PASS
Tests: PASS (<passed>/<total>)
ASan: CLEAN

Rules

  • DO verify all tests pass before release
  • DO run sanitizer checks before release
  • DO update README if features changed
  • DO tag releases with annotated tags
  • DON'T release if tests fail
  • DON'T skip sanitizer checks
  • DON'T change code during release (only version bump + docs)
