scan takes an exclusive flock(2) on a lock file beside the database
(its path with .lock appended) before it walks anything or opens the
database, and holds it until it returns. A second scan against the
same database fails at once with a one-line error naming the lock
file and exits 1. report and trees never take the lock. The lock ends
with the process, so a fatal error or an interrupt releases it; the
file is never deleted. golang.org/x/sys becomes a direct dependency.
The README smoke test now keeps the database outside the scanned
tree, where its empty lock file would have joined the empty-file
group.
Model: opus-5-5
scan now synchronizes a database that survives between runs
(SFDUPES_DATABASE, default /var/lib/sfdupes/db.sqlite) instead of
emitting a stream: operands are resolved to absolute paths, unchanged
files (same size, mtime not newer than recorded) are never re-read, new
and changed files are hashed, and records under the scanned operands
that were not verified this run are deleted; records outside the
operands are untouched. All changes commit in a single transaction, and
WAL journaling with a busy timeout keeps a report run during a cron
scan safe.
report and trees read the database (no positional arguments); the
NUL-terminated stream format, its parser, and the malformed-record
handling are gone. The driver is modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go), so
builds keep cgo disabled.
