quak/src/backup.ts

// The backup command, rebuilt on the library API (issue #51).
//
// `lib.backup()` waits for a completed refresh of the library (a failed one
// fails the backup before any file is touched), then, for every file in scope,
// puts its original at its save path under `downloadDirectory`, as
// `Photo.download()` does, waits for an ML data fetch, and rebuilds the derived
// views (per-file sidecars, per-collection symlink trees, per-collection JSON)
// from the model. The on-disk layout:
//
//     <downloadDirectory>/
//         YYYY/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD/
//             YYYY-MM-DD.<fileID>.<ext>    the decrypted bytes (the save path)
//             YYYY-MM-DD.<fileID>.json     per-file metadata sidecar, with
//                                          the file's ML data and its
//                                          original's EXIF, XMP and
//                                          dimensions
//         collections/<name>/<title>       symlink to the original
//         collections/<name>.json          per-collection metadata
//         account.json                     the account's email and user ID
//         failures.json                    durable ledger of unresolved failures
//
// A live photo's original is its image and its video, each with its own
// extension, beside `YYYY-MM-DD.<fileID>.livephoto.json` naming them; its album
// folders link both.
//
// Crash-safety rests on two properties. Bytes are present-means-complete: an
// original appears at its save path only via the content layer's atomic
// temp-then-rename, so a file that exists is whole and is never re-fetched — an
// interrupted run resumes by looking at the save paths. The derived views hold
// no unique state, so they are rebuilt every run; that repairs stale sidecars
// and missing or broken symlinks left by an earlier crash. A rebuild also
// removes the symlinks to originals that no longer belong to an album, and the
// directories of albums that no longer exist. The one thing a sidecar takes
// from the sidecar it replaces is its original's EXIF, XMP and dimensions (or
// why they could not be read), so that a run does not read every stored
// original again; a sidecar without them gets them read from the original.
//
// With `verify`, each original already at its save path is hashed as the
// download check hashes it, and one that does not match the content hash its
// metadata records is removed and fetched again in the same run.
//
// Resilience (issue #8): no per-file condition aborts the run. A failed
// download, a failed symlink, or ML data missing because the ML data fetch
// failed is caught, recorded in `failures.json` with a classification, a
// running attempt count, and the last-tried time, and the run continues.
// `result.failed` — and thus the CLI's exit code — stays non-zero while any
// failure remains unresolved and clears once every one succeeds. Each run
// reconciles the ledger against the files it attempted, so an entry for a file
// that has since left the library (deleted) or this run's scope is dropped
// rather than counted forever, which would poison a scheduled backup's exit
// code.
