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.
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.
