Every scan display names its phase and its place among the five, as
"[2/5] walk", with its progress, elapsed time and ETA. load counts the
records first; the walk estimates its total from the records under the
operands; the content phase adds up the sizes of the matching groups
and says it is searching until the first record returns. Each display
redraws every 100 ms on a terminal and every 5 seconds in plain mode.
On a terminal no line reaches the last column: a line too wide drops
its rate, then its bar. After the terminal is made narrower than the
widest line drawn, the display makes a new library object, whose erase
fits.
Judgement call: load and the content checks draw the bar too, once their totals are known.
Judgement call: the bar is 10 columns wide, not the width the line leaves.
Model: opus-5-5
On a terminal, warnf clears the bar's line before it prints a warning.
When the warning is for the last item of a phase, the bar has already
drawn its finished frame and the progress library draws nothing more
for a finished bar, so the warning took the bar's place for good. warnf
now draws the finished bar's last frame again below the warning.
Output when stderr is not a terminal does not change.
Model: opus-5-5
A first SIGINT or SIGTERM cancels the scan. It commits the hashed
records still in its batch, with a context that is not cancelled for
that one write, and starts no other write or deletion; deletions need
a complete walk, so records under paths an interrupted walk never
reached are kept. A batch whose commit failed is now kept for that
final commit instead of dropped. The progress display is finished (a
bar stopped short is no longer filled up), `scan: interrupted after N
files` goes to stderr, and the exit code is 1. A second signal ends the
process at once. A SIGINT inherited as ignored stays ignored.
Model: opus-5-5
When stderr is not a terminal, each phase prints its zero-state line
as it starts instead of after its first item. stderrIsTTY uses
term.IsTerminal from golang.org/x/term, now a direct dependency, so
/dev/null is no longer taken for a terminal.
A spinner keeps the library's background redraw, so its count and
elapsed time stay current while a phase waits for its next item. A
warning printed during a spinner phase goes through the bar
(progressbar.Bprintln), which prints it before its next redraw instead
of racing it. Bars with a total have no background redraw and still
print warnings directly.
Model: opus-5-5
A path holding a tab or newline split a row of the report or trees
output. The path columns of both now write a backslash, tab, newline
and carriage return as \\, \t, \n and \r; every other byte is written
unchanged. Grouping and sorting still use the stored path. Warnings
on stderr are escaped the same way in warnf, so each stays one line.
In trees, the root directory's node now has the path "/" instead of
an empty string, and its children's paths start with a single slash.
README states the rule under "Report output format".
Model: opus-5-5
On a database with tens of millions of records, indexing the existing
rows before the walk takes real single-core time with no output,
which is indistinguishable from a hang. Give the load its own
spinner, and render every phase display the moment the phase starts
instead of waiting for its first completed item.
Restructure scan into three phases: walk+stat, hash, update.
The stat pass is folded into the walk workers: each regular file is
lstatted as its directory is read, while the metadata is hot. The
walk builds a scan-wide size census (walked files plus records
outside the scan roots), and unchanged already-hashed files resolve
during the walk without further work.
Only files whose size at least one other file shares are ever read:
a size-unique file cannot be a duplicate, so it is recorded without
hashes (head and tail empty). When a later scan makes its size
shared, the file is hashed then, even if otherwise unchanged. report
excludes unhashed records; trees gives them a never-matching
signature so a tree containing one never compares equal to another.
Hashed records are committed in batched transactions while the hash
phase runs, so an interrupted scan keeps everything hashed so far
and the next run resumes cheaply. The hash phase total is exact,
giving a meaningful ETA.
Memory drops accordingly: the existing-record index holds only path,
size, mtime, and a hashed flag (no hash values); the walk carries one
small record per candidate file; overlapping operands are pruned up
front instead of deduplicating every walked path in a scan-wide set.
Files no bigger than one chunk are hashed with a single read.
150 findings fixed: linter autofixes for whitespace style (wsl_v5,
nlreturn, noinlineerr), named returns removed, magic numbers replaced
with named constants, static errNotRegular error, explicit Close/Parse
error handling, unused cobra params renamed to _, and runReport/
runTrees/hashPass split into helpers to satisfy cyclop, gocognit, and
funlen. Behavior verified unchanged against the README smoke test.
