Tests only; the retry module they import does not exist yet, so the
branch is red at this commit.
New test/retry/retry.test.ts documents the classifier and the backoff:
which errors are worth another attempt, which are not, and how the delay
before each retry is derived. It asserts on the arguments handed to an
injected sleep function rather than on elapsed time, so the suite never
waits and the numbers are exact.
test/api/client.test.ts gains the request-count contract for each of the
six call sites, the deadline behaviour, the ApiError typing that the
presigned PUT and the null-body paths need in order to be classified at
all, and the replay rule for the two non-idempotent methods.
test/download/download.test.ts gains the case that motivates the whole
design: a socket reset after the response headers arrived, which happens
below ApiClient and can only be caught by retrying the request, the
stream consumption and the decryption together. It also pins that a
retried download stages exactly one temp file, and that the two retry
layers do not compose into a multiplied request budget. The existing
truncation tests now assert on the error type rather than its wording,
since that type is what the classifier reads.
test/thumbnails/thumbnails.test.ts separates a genuine 404 from an
exhausted retry, so a failing server can no longer make
fix-missing-thumbnails re-upload thumbnails that already exist.
Rework against review findings on the branch.
Test runtime (B1): the suite's cost was never the 4 MiB fixture, it was
filling that fixture from the CSPRNG. sodium.randombytes_buf goes through
the wasm wrapper a byte at a time and takes ~20s for 4 MiB, against ~108ms
to encrypt the same buffer. Fixture content is not load-bearing anywhere in
the file — only length and tag are — so payloads now come from a seeded LCG
instead, which also makes them deterministic and reproducible as the README
asks. A seeded generator rather than a constant fill, so a downloader that
reordered or repeated chunks would still be caught. make test goes from
over the 30s cap in script/test (it was failing outright, then rerunning
verbose) back to 8.96s, against 10.02s on main.
Atomic write coverage (B2): every failure the suite injected originated in
streamDecrypt, which runs before anything is written, so no test observed a
temp file existing or being cleaned up and the catch block in writeAtomic
was dead code. rename is now intercepted in the test file, which adds two
cases per entry point: one asserting the staged file exists at rename time
and is a sibling of the destination, and one failing the rename itself so
the cleanup path runs with a temp file genuinely on disk. Deleting
writeAtomic in favour of a plain writeFile now turns the suite red.
TAG_FINAL (M1): STREAM_TAG_FINAL was a hardcoded 3 plus a test to detect
drift. The premise was right — libsodium attaches its constants inside
ready.then(...), so an eager module-level read binds undefined — but a lazy
read works, and decryptBlob was doing exactly that before. Replaced with
streamTagFinal(), which reads the library's own value at call time. The
drift test is repurposed to pin the accessor against the tag observed on a
real final chunk, which fails if it is ever made eager again.
Partial trailing chunk (M2): a transfer that stopped mid-chunk surfaced as
"authentication failed", which reads as corruption and sends the user after
the wrong problem. A final chunk that arrived in full always authenticates,
so trailing bytes that do not are reported as the truncation they almost
always are, with the authentication failure kept as the error's cause.
Poly1305 cannot separate a partial chunk from a corrupt one, so the message
names both possibilities; a corrupt whole chunk mid-stream is still
reported as an authentication failure, and both are now tested.
The pre-existing test that wrote its output to the process working
directory, i.e. the repo root, now writes into the test's temp directory.
streamDecrypt discarded the secretstream tag, so a download cut short
by a dropped connection decrypted cleanly up to the last whole chunk
and was returned as a success. downloadFile and downloadThumbnail then
wrote straight to the destination, and runBackup skips any existing
non-empty file, so a truncated original was treated as complete on
every subsequent run and never repaired.
streamDecrypt now tracks the tag of each chunk it pulls and throws if
the stream ended on anything other than TAG_FINAL, or if the body
carried no chunks at all — Ente always emits at least one chunk, as
encryptBlob shows by producing a TAG_FINAL chunk even for zero-length
plaintext, so an empty body is a failed transfer rather than an empty
file. Both error messages say the stream was truncated.
Plaintext is now staged in a temporary sibling file (same directory,
so the rename cannot cross a filesystem boundary; random UUID suffix,
so concurrent downloads cannot collide) and renamed into place only
after the whole stream has decrypted and verified. On any error the
temporary file is removed and the original error is rethrown
unchanged, so a cleanup failure never masks the real diagnosis. A
failed download therefore leaves the destination exactly as it was.
Public signatures and the DownloadResult shape are unchanged.
The download layer keeps its no-direct-sodium-import shape: TAG_FINAL
is re-exported from src/crypto as STREAM_TAG_FINAL, which decryptBlob
now uses too. Also moves the pullStreamChunk doc comment off
decryptBlob, where it had been sitting.
Retry and backoff remain out of scope; they stay the Next Step in
TODO.md and are tracked separately.
Covers, for both downloadFile and downloadThumbnail:
- a multi-chunk body whose TAG_FINAL chunk never arrived is rejected
with a truncation error;
- an empty body is rejected as truncation rather than written as a
zero-byte file;
- after a truncation or chunk-authentication failure the destination
path does not exist and no temporary scratch file is left behind;
- an existing file at the destination survives a failed download
byte for byte, and is replaced atomically by a successful one;
- the existing success cases still produce identical bytes and an
identical DownloadResult.
Adds an encryptMultiChunkBody helper that frames leading chunks at
exactly STREAM_CHUNK_SIZE so the downloader's fixed-size re-splitting
lines up, plus a multi-chunk success case as the positive control.
Also pins the new STREAM_TAG_FINAL crypto export against libsodium's
own constant, since it must be declared as a literal: libsodium
attaches its constants only after sodium.ready resolves, well after
this library's modules are evaluated.
These fail until the implementation lands, per the repo's TDD workflow.

downloadFile streams the encrypted body from the CDN, buffers it to
the 4 MiB + 17 encrypted chunk boundary, decrypts each chunk via
secretstream pull, and writes the concatenated plaintext to disk.
downloadThumbnail does the same for the thumbnail CDN.
4 unit tests (single-chunk, large single-chunk, filename fallback,
thumbnail) + live integration test that downloads a real 472 KB JPEG
from the dev account and verifies it lands on disk.
Uses mkdtempSync for temp directories (not manual timestamp paths).
4 tests: single-chunk download, metadata-title fallback filename,
multi-chunk stream (50-byte chunks to exercise the buffering/split
logic without allocating 4 MiB), and thumbnail download.
Tests encrypt payloads with sodium's secretstream push, serve them
from a mock fetch, and verify the decrypted file on disk.
