Completed Steps

• 2026-09-22: Rewrote the README API reference (and the Getting Started / usage snippets) to match the shipped cache/API library on next (issue 53, issue 13). Documented Library.open and its options, the default-read vs fresh() distinction (and that the CLI's read commands are fresh), the record types and snapshot()/subscribe(), the albums/photos/timeline read surface, Photo content methods, thumbnails.ensure, the mldata search surface, backup(), the three request pools (10/5/25), and the on-disk cache layout; noted the deferred content-hash integrity check (issue 68). Docs-only; no code changed.
• 2026-09-22: Added resumable, deletion-aware enumeration to Client (issue 38, closes issue 7). collectionsSince/filesSince take a starting cursor, decrypt live records, surface tombstoned ids in a separate deleted list (a tombstone has nothing to decrypt, so it is a bare id, not a hollow record), and return the max updationTime seen as the cursor to resume from. filesSince refuses to loop when the diff reports hasMore without advancing the cursor (issue 7). listCollections/listFiles are now thin wrappers that enumerate from sinceTime: 0 and drop deletions, so existing callers are unaffected.
• 2026-09-22: Carried file size, thumbnail size, and the deletion flag through decryptFile (issue 37, foundation for the cache/API design). Live files now populate file.size/thumbnail.size from the server's info (left undefined when the server omits it), and isDeleted is carried from the diff row onto EnteFile. No caller change: listFiles still filters deleted rows before decrypting. Surfacing a tombstone through decryption belongs to the enumeration unit (issue 38).
• 2026-08-10: Made lint-once.test.ts enforce what its header claims. It walked make check only, so it never read Dockerfile — the image CI builds through script/cibuild — and a second prettier --check . could be added there with the suite staying green. The walk now also starts at .gitea/workflows/check.yml and follows its run: steps, so the graph under test is the one CI executes rather than the one someone assumed it executes. The lockfile assertion was a substring check against the whole of script/bootstrap, which has two install sites and so reported the branch the containers never take; the two branches are now resolved separately and every yarn install in each is required to be --frozen-lockfile. Prettier is counted per occurrence instead of per line, so two invocations chained with && no longer read as one, and edges are followed on counted lines instead of being skipped. Every way for the walk to reach nothing — an unknown target, an unknown script, a missing file, a node with no commands, an unknown node kind — is a thrown error rather than a quiet zero. Every assertion in the file was mutation-tested individually.
• 2026-08-10: Stopped make check running prettier --check . twice. Since linting moved into Docker, the duplicate was one container pass and one host pass of the same check: script/lint builds Dockerfile.lint, which runs prettier as a build step, and script/check then called script/fmt-check as well. The host call is gone from script/check and from script/precommit; the container keeps checking formatting, because a successful Dockerfile.lint build is what CI treats as proof of a clean tree, and it is also what still fails the pre-commit hook on a badly formatted tree. script/fmt-check survives as a standalone entrypoint, whose verdict cannot drift from the container's. A test walks the invocation graph from each entrypoint — through the Makefile shims, the script/ calls and the docker build — and asserts the prettier count, so the duplication cannot come back unnoticed.
• 2026-08-10: Moved all linting into Docker. script/lint builds a new root Dockerfile.lint, which copies the repo into the digest-pinned node image and runs eslint and prettier as build steps, so a successful build is a clean lint; no host lint path remains and yarn lint is gone from package.json. A fail-closed LINT_EPOCH guard stops Docker serving the linter layers from cache, which is how a lint build returns success in under a second having linted nothing. The lint stage inside Dockerfile and its COPY --from=lint ordering hack are gone: that image now runs make test and make build only, because script/check calls script/lint and running it in a container would mean docker inside docker. script/cibuild builds the lint image first, then the test and build image.
• 2026-08-09: Made make docker green and policy-conformant. Multi-stage Dockerfile: a lint stage runs make fmt-check and make lint, and the check stage takes a COPY --from=lint dependency on it before running make check and make build. CHECK_EPOCH and a fail-closed guard stop Docker serving those two layers from cache, which is what let a build report success without running the suite. script/projectname says quak, so the image is tagged quak; script/bootstrap updates apt lists before installing, so a Debian base works; .dockerignore no longer ships the compiled binary, the caches or agent worktrees into the build context, and keeps .gitignore in it for prettier.
• 2026-08-09: Fixed the TypeScript build. rootDir is the repo root, so bin/ compiles alongside src/ instead of failing with TS6059; output is dist/src/ and dist/bin/, which is where main, types and bin.quak now point. script/build verifies the declared entrypoints exist after the compiler runs and makes the CLI executable, the Dockerfile runs make build as well as make check, and a quak script makes the README's yarn quak <command> examples work.
• 2026-08-09: Retry policy: no retry on 4xx (except 408 and 429), exponential backoff with full jitter on 5xx, transport failures and truncated transfers, under per-attempt deadlines that cover the response body as well as the request. Downloads retry request, stream consumption and decryption as one unit; postJSON and putJSON are replayed only when the connection was never established.
• 2026-08-09: Downloads verify the secretstream terminated on TAG_FINAL and write output atomically: a truncated body is rejected instead of landing on disk as a short file, and plaintext is staged in a sibling temp file and renamed into place, so a failed download leaves the destination untouched.
• 2026-07-07 Adopted scripts-to-rule-them-all: script/ entrypoints, Makefile shims, README Entrypoints section
• 2026-06-10: Decrypted collections shared by other users (sealed-box keys); listCollections drops deleted-collection tombstones.
• 2026-06-10: Login hardening: dual-2FA empty-string fields handled, TOTP preferred when a passkey is also enrolled, interactive input via @inquirer/prompts.
• 2026-06-10: Replaced sharp with pure JS (jpeg-js + exif-reader); added single-binary bun build and make install.
• 2026-06-09: Added backup-metadata command (ML data always included, --exif opt-in); rewrote README to match the implementation; added thumbnail helper tests.
• 2026-05-13: Full CLI surface: login, backup with dedup symlink layout, collections, files, get, get-thumb, thumbnail repair helpers.
• 2026-05-13: Client OO API with literate usage tests; file download and decryption; all three metadata layers decrypted and persisted; renamed quack to quak.
• 2026-05-11: SRP login flow (email OTP + TOTP) and ApiClient.

Future Steps

• Future desktop client, separate repo:
  • Electron app skeleton consuming this library.
  • Local SQLite cache keyed on (collectionID, fileID, updationTime).
  • Background sync worker streaming new files into the cache.
  • Gallery UI: thumbnails, full-image view, basic search.
  • Upload, delete, and share operations in the library.
