Record the defect-hunt fixes in TODO.md Completed Steps (closes #334)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

Adds a Completed Steps entry, newest first, for every issue from the
defect hunt (#288) that a merged
fix closed and that had none: the hunt's own issues, those filed while
fixing them, and the owner's ruling on
#239. Each entry says in one or
two sentences what was wrong and what changed; the detail is in each
fix's commit. Next Step now says the hunt's fixes have landed.

Judgement call: #332, closed as
covered by the fix for #296, is
named in that entry rather than given its own.
Judgement call: #351, a Docker
build fix filed while gating these fixes, gets an entry.

# Completed Steps # Completed Steps
- 2026-10-14: Stopped `snapshot create --prune` pruning after a backup
that skipped files it could not read
([issue #382](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/382)). Such a
prune could delete the only snapshot still holding those files.
- 2026-10-14: Made `snapshot create --skip-errors` exit non-zero,
instead of 0, when it skips anything it cannot read
([issue #310](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/310)).
- 2026-10-14: Kept the local index when `remote nuke` cannot list or
find the destination store
([issue #292](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/292)). Nuke
had cleared the local snapshot records anyway; it now fails before
removing anything.
- 2026-10-14: Stopped counting directories and unchanged symlinks as
files to back up
([issue #305](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/305)).
- 2026-10-14: Refused a backup destination that an unplugged volume
left empty, as the owner ruled
([issue #239](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/239)). Every
backup now writes `vaultik-destination.txt` at the destination root,
and while the local index holds snapshots stored there, a destination
without it is treated as not present.
- 2026-10-14: Warned about restored ownership only when an entry's
owner or group differs from the recorded one
([issue #316](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/316)); a
restore by a non-root user had warned even when none did.
- 2026-10-14: Made `snapshot list` report a changed destination instead
of advising `prune`, which refuses in that case
([issue #317](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/317)).
- 2026-10-14: Counted a file as deleted by a backup only if the
previous snapshot of the same name listed it
([issue #304](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/304)); files
that snapshot did not list had been counted too.
- 2026-10-14: Named each prefix once in restore, verify and purge
errors, some of which repeated it
([issue #327](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/327)). A deep
verify log line that named S3 whatever the destination now names
storage.
- 2026-10-14: Refused credentials in a storage URL's endpoint or rclone
remote name, which were accepted and could then be printed
([issue #322](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/322)).
- 2026-10-14: Ran `$EDITOR` through the shell in `config edit`, so a
value with arguments, such as `code --wait`, no longer fails
([issue #315](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/315)).
- 2026-10-14: Made `snapshot remove` fail, instead of exiting 0, when
it cannot delete the metadata of a snapshot that is only on the
destination store
([issue #340](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/340)). The
README and the help now say when it prints the `vaultik prune`
follow-up.
- 2026-10-14: Labelled the totals in the local index cleanup before
each backup as totals
([issue #306](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/306)). Each
was shown as `(N remain)`, which read as rows left to clean up.
- 2026-10-13: Freed a cached blob once no file still to restore needs
it ([issue #324](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/324)); one
also used by a file outside the selected paths had stayed in the
temporary cache until the restore ended.
- 2026-10-13: Kept the whole startup error when it contains `): `
([issue #320](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/320)). Such
an error was cut at its last `): `, so the `blob_size_limit` one lost
the setting's name.
- 2026-10-13: Silenced the status lines of `prune` and snapshot removal
under `--cron` and `--quiet`
([issue #294](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/294)).
- 2026-10-13: Read the rclone config file that `RCLONE_CONFIG` names
([issue #321](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/321)); a
remote defined only there had been reported as not found.
- 2026-10-13: Made `/**/` in an exclude pattern match zero directories,
as in gitignore
([issue #338](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/338));
`a/**/*.log` had missed `a/x.log`.
- 2026-10-13: Made the `chunk_size` and `blob_size_limit` defaults and
the `chunk_size` minimum 1000-based, like the size parser and the
docs ([issue #313](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/313)).
- 2026-10-13: Kept a snapshot's remote metadata when `snapshot purge`
cannot remove it from the local index
([issue #337](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/337)); the
purge had deleted the metadata anyway and exited 0.
- 2026-10-13: Made `snapshot restore` fail for a requested path that
matches nothing, which it had ignored
([issue #309](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/309)).
- 2026-10-13: Made `remote nuke` delete every object under `metadata/`
and `blobs/`
([issue #291](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/291)); it had
left some, such as a stray `.DS_Store`, while reporting the store
empty.
- 2026-10-13: Made `config set` create a list for an index under a
missing key
([issue #308](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/308)); it had
written a map, after which no command could load the config.
- 2026-10-13: Listed a `file://` destination through a symlinked
`metadata/` or `blobs/`, which had listed as empty
([issue #296](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/296)). A link
to a missing target now fails the listing
([issue #332](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/332)).
- 2026-10-13: Made `snapshot verify --deep --json` report its blob
counts ([issue #314](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/314));
a failed run had reported 0 missing and 0 verified.
- 2026-10-13: Limited and retried the module download in the Docker
build ([issue #351](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/351)),
which had hung for as long as a stalled connection to the module
proxy lasted.
- 2026-10-13: Recorded each snapshot's uncompressed size when its
backup runs
([issue #360](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/360)). A later
backup could change an older snapshot's UNCOMPRESSED SIZE in
`snapshot list`.
- 2026-10-13: Stopped `snapshot restore --skip-errors --verify`
reporting a file that failed to restore again as a checksum failure
([issue #323](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/323)).
- 2026-10-13: Recorded the stored size of a blob a backup finds already
stored, not the size of its local copy, which can differ, so
`snapshot verify` could fail on a good snapshot
([issue #300](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/300)).
- 2026-10-13: Stopped the local index and the blob upload step ending
the process on a failed close of query results or a failed temp file
cleanup ([issue #345](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/345));
both are now returned as errors.
- 2026-10-13: Closed the snapshot database's storage reader too when
restore or deep verify is interrupted
([issue #356](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/356)).
- 2026-10-13: Made `prune` and `remote nuke` fail when a delete on the
backup destination store fails
([issue #290](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/290)).
- 2026-10-13: Made an S3 listing that the server cuts short an error
([issue #297](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/297)); `prune`
had taken it as complete and could delete blobs still in use.
- 2026-10-13: Made shallow `snapshot verify` report a blob it could not
check apart from a missing one
([issue #318](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/318)); any
error checking a blob had counted as missing, its cause dropped.
- 2026-10-13: Restored the other files when a file's chunk is in no
blob under `--skip-errors`
([issue #326](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/326)); that
file had stopped the restore before anything was restored.
- 2026-10-13: Recorded each snapshot's new chunk size when its backup
runs ([issue #311](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/311)).
`snapshot list` could show a NEW CHUNK SIZE of 0 B for a snapshot
whose change was a modified file.
- 2026-10-13: Made a backup interrupted during a local index write exit
as interrupted
([issue #301](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/301)); it could
end with `FATAL: failed to rollback transaction` and exit 1 instead of
130.
- 2026-10-13: Printed `snapshot list` and `snapshot purge` sizes like
every other command
([issue #312](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/312)). They,
and the `bytes` value in terminal log lines, were 1024-based but
labelled KB or MB, and now use 1000-based units.
- 2026-10-13: Closed each blob's storage reader when restore or deep
verify is interrupted, which ends a stalled read unless it is stuck in
the kernel ([issue #325](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/325)).
- 2026-10-13: Made a mistyped subcommand under `snapshot`, `config`,
`remote`, `database` or `completion` an error
([issue #319](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/319)); each had
printed its help and exited 0.
- 2026-10-13: Made an exclude pattern starting with `**/` match
directly under the snapshot path too, as in gitignore
([issue #303](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/303)).
- 2026-10-13: Refused a relative `file://` storage URL and decoded its
percent-escapes
([issue #299](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/299)); a
relative path had moved with the working directory.
- 2026-10-13: Removed the blob temp file when a backup stops part-way
([issue #302](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/302)); the
half-written blob had stayed in `$TMPDIR`.
- 2026-10-13: Checked `--keep-newer-than` before a backup starts
([issue #307](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/307)); an
invalid value had been read only by the prune after the backup, so
retention never ran.
- 2026-10-13: Stopped `remote info` counting a file under `blobs/` that - 2026-10-13: Stopped `remote info` counting a file under `blobs/` that
is not a blob as an orphaned blob is not a blob as an orphaned blob
([issue #295](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/295)). A stray ([issue #295](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/295)). A stray
