sneak b19bd959c7 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.

clawbot 5b8d84e38a Do not prune after a backup that skipped unreadable files (closes #382)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
snapshot create --skip-errors --prune pruned even when files were
skipped, so by default it deleted the previous snapshot of that name,
the only one still holding a file that had become unreadable, along
with blobs only that snapshot referenced.

The prune is now skipped exactly when the run exits non-zero for
entries --skip-errors could not read or list: older snapshots are
kept, a warning says why, and the run still exits non-zero. A file
removed during the run does not count, so such a run still prunes.
The README's --prune text and the flag's help say so.

clawbot 7a950ea2aa Exit non-zero when snapshot create --skip-errors skips anything it cannot read (closes #310)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
A backup under --skip-errors printed its skip errors, then "Finished
successfully.", and exited 0, so a cron wrapper could not tell it from
a complete backup.

Each skipped entry, including a directory the walk could not list, is
now counted as examined and failed. If --skip-errors skipped anything
it could not read or list, the run still keeps its snapshots and
prunes as before, then fails with "Backup completed, but N file(s)
could not be read". A file removed during the run, even before the
walk reaches it, counts once as failed and leaves the exit status
alone; without the flag it no longer stops the backup. Excluded
entries are never counted.

clawbot 16b03dfda5 Keep the local index when remote nuke cannot list or find the destination (closes #292)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
`remote nuke` took a destination store it could not list, or one
without `vaultik-destination.txt` while the local index held
snapshots, as a warning: it then cleared the local snapshot records,
and for an unplugged volume's empty mount point reported the store
empty and exited zero. Nuke now fails on either before it removes
anything, without its advice to run it again, which would fail the
same way. The bulk remove it runs fails on either too; only a
local-only remove still goes on with a warning. Nuke also deletes each
snapshot's remote metadata before its local record, so a failed delete
keeps the snapshot in the local index rather than leaving it on the
store as a remote-only snapshot.

clawbot 2125a9d451 Stop counting directories and unchanged symlinks as files to back up (closes #305)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
Every backup queued every directory and symlink for the second phase.
The line ending the walk counted directories, and their stat sizes, as
files to back up while its enumerated count left them out, and a
symlink was counted as backed up on every run, its target length as
data.

The walk now sets directories aside: they are recorded before the files
are backed up and never counted as files or data, and the walk's
progress estimate leaves out the directories the local index knows. A
symlink is checked against its record like a regular file, its target
included, so an unchanged one counts as unchanged.

Judgement call: every directory is still written to the local index on
every backup, as before; no report shows it.

clawbot a0de8bfdb7 Refuse a backup destination an unplugged volume left empty (closes #239)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
Every backup writes vaultik-destination.txt at the destination root.
While the local index holds snapshots stored there, a destination
without it is not present: snapshot create refuses before writing,
prune and snapshot purge fail, and snapshot list and snapshot remove
act as for a destination that cannot be listed. snapshot create and
snapshot remove check it first. remote nuke deletes the marker last.
The file:// backend never creates its destination directory, which
protects a directory on a removable volume, not a mount point.

Tests back up into directories that exist; fixtures for a written
destination carry the marker.

Judgement call: the marker is rewritten on every backup.
Deviation: for the complexity limit, two blocks moved, unchanged, into
snapshotNamesToCreate and confirmRemoveSnapshot.

clawbot 291c39174f Warn about restored ownership only when an entry's owner or group differs (closes #316)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
A restore by a normal user always warned that file ownership was not
preserved, even when every entry came out with its recorded owner and
group. The owner and group each restored entry has on disk are now
compared with the recorded ones, and the warning is printed once if any
differ. The comparison is made on disk because on macOS, and in a setgid
directory on Linux, a new entry takes the group of its directory, not
the user's.

Judgement call: an entry that is not on disk after the restore is not compared.
Unverified: not run on a Mac; the directory-group test runs only as root.

clawbot 65036bba1b Make snapshot list report a changed destination instead of advising prune (closes #317)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
When the local index is bound to a different destination than the
configured one, snapshot list now gives the warning prune, snapshot
purge and snapshot remove refuse with: both destinations and the two
ways out (revert the configuration, or run vaultik database delete).
Below the table it replaces the local-only note and its prune advice.
With --json it goes to stderr through the logger, so stdout stays the
document, whose local rows show remote_present false.

Reading the binding moves out of EnsureStorageBinding into
storageBinding, which records nothing, so the read-only list can call
it without binding a fresh index.

clawbot 54ad279dd6 Count a file as deleted only if the previous snapshot of its name had it (closes #304)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
A backup counted as deleted every file in the local index under the
source path that the walk did not find: files the snapshot excludes
but another snapshot backs up, and files removed long ago, which every
later backup, and the first backup of another name over the same
path, reported as deleted again.

The backup now counts only files that the latest completed snapshot of
the same name lists, the walk did not find, and are gone from disk,
including a file whose directory became a regular file. Excluded files
and files the walk could not reach under --skip-errors are not
counted.

Only the backup's output changes; the snapshots row stores no deleted
figure.

clawbot d156a02c49 Name each prefix once in restore, verify and purge errors (closes #327)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
A missing blob during restore, a failed shallow verify and an invalid
purge duration each printed their prefix twice. FetchBlob now returns
the storage error as is, since restore and deep verify name the blob
themselves; purge returns the duration parser's error unchanged; and a
failed shallow verify wraps "problems found in storage" instead of
"verification failed", which the command already prints. Deep verify
words a storage error other than not found as a blob it could not
check, and its log line no longer says S3.

Already fixed for #314: the
deep verify size message naming S3 and other errors called missing;
tests now check both.
Not tested: the log line.

clawbot aeac897805 Refuse credentials in a storage URL's endpoint or rclone remote name (closes #322)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
storage_url refused only the outer URL's userinfo and unknown query
parameters. Userinfo inside the s3 endpoint= value, and rclone's
remote,param=value parameters in the remote name, were accepted and
then printed by info, remote info and snapshot create. Both are now
refused without echoing the value: a host name never contains "@", and
an rclone remote name never contains a comma. An s3 or rclone query
that cannot be decoded (a ";" or a bad "%" escape) is refused too,
because decoding drops that part before it can be checked. The comma
is checked before url.Parse, whose error for such a name prints part of
it. The rclone remote name case has its own error pointing at rclone
config.

clawbot 9fd88a34c7 Fail snapshot remove when a destination-only snapshot's metadata cannot be deleted (closes #340)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
When a snapshot was only on the destination store and deleting its
metadata there failed, snapshot remove warned and exited 0 having
removed nothing. That failure is now an error. A snapshot in the local
index keeps its behaviour: it is removed from the local index and the
failed delete on the destination store is a warning.

The README and the help text said the `vaultik prune` follow-up is
printed on every success; they now say it is printed only when metadata
was removed from the destination store, and never under --json. The
comments on RemoveSnapshot and removeSnapshotRemote describe both
cases; removeSnapshotRemote's also says it returns true only when the
delete finished without an error and removed at least one object.

The summary printed by the local index cleanup before each backup gave,
in brackets after each removed count, the number of snapshots, files,
chunks or blobs left in the local index, worded "(N remain)", which

clawbot 66ea7f5f45 Free a cached blob once no file still to restore needs it (closes #324)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
A restore of selected paths, or one where files failed under
--skip-errors, kept the blobs those files share in the temporary cache
until it ended: the sweeper freed a blob only once every file in the
snapshot database that uses it had been restored, and files outside the
selection or that failed never are.

The sweeper now asks the restore plan, through pendingFileUsesBlob,
whether any pending file still uses a cached blob. The plan holds only
this run's files and drops each one once it is restored or has failed.

The new test backs up 16 KiB files so it stays quick; the locality
backup helper takes the file size for that.

clawbot dd3667c8e9 Keep the whole startup error when it contains "): " (closes #320)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
A startup error was cut at its last "): " to drop the annotations fx
adds, so the blob_size_limit message, which itself contains
"(... size spread): ", lost everything but "need at least N bytes".
cleanStartupError now uses dig.RootCause, from the library fx is built
on, which removes exactly those annotations and returns the error
underneath unchanged.

The test starts a real fx app on a config whose blob_size_limit is below
the minimum. The old cases fed it plain strings that only looked like fx
output; such an error is now rightly left whole, so they are replaced.

go.uber.org/dig, already required through fx, becomes a direct

PruneBlobs, CleanupLocalSnapshots, RemoveSnapshot, RemoveAllSnapshots

`snapshot create --cron --prune` printed on every successful run and
--quiet did not silence `prune`, `snapshot purge`, `snapshot remove` or
`remote nuke`. Those lines now go through internal/ui, which drops them
under --cron and --quiet; warnings, errors and --json documents still
print.

The confirmation prompts still write straight to stdout, as the
`database delete` prompt does, together with what they ask to delete:
the snapshot list before the purge prompt, and the blob count and size
before the prune prompt. With --force those lines are status lines.

The two purge test fixtures gained the UI writer production always sets.

check / check (push) Waiting to run
The chunk_size and blob_size_limit defaults and the chunk_size minimum
were 1024-based, while the size parser reads 10MB as 10,000,000 bytes and
the docs and info use 1000-based units. So chunk_size: 1MB was rejected,
writing out a documented default changed it, and info showed an 11 GB
blob limit. They are now 1000-based like the parser. The examples below
the 1MB minimum in config.example.yml and the config init template are
replaced, and both now state the minimum.

clawbot d8f78a1f45 Keep remote metadata when purge cannot remove a snapshot locally (closes #337)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
snapshot purge, and the purge step of snapshot create --prune, logged a
failure to delete a snapshot from the local index, deleted that
snapshot's metadata from the destination store anyway, and exited 0. The
purge now stops at that snapshot with an error before touching its
remote metadata, so the command exits non-zero. Stopping matches what
the same loop already does when the remote delete fails; snapshots
purged before the failure stay purged.

The test drives snapshot purge only: the trigger that makes the local
index refuse the delete also breaks the backup's metadata export, so
snapshot create --prune cannot be tested that way.

clawbot 2c087be577 Fail restore for a requested path that matches nothing (closes #309)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
snapshot restore said nothing about a requested path that matched no
entry in the snapshot (a typo, a relative path, or a path through a
symlinked snapshot path, whose entries are stored under the resolved
directory) and exited 0, even when nothing matched. Each such path is
now named in a warning as soon as the file list is built, so it shows
even when the restore then stops on an error, and restore returns an
error after restoring the paths that do match. The restore summary
moved into finishRestore to keep Restore within the length limit.

Making a path through a symlink match is not part of this change.
Judgement call: when the restore itself fails, that error is returned.

remote nuke deleted only the snapshot metadata and blobs the snapshot

After removing every snapshot, nuke now deletes every object listed
under metadata/ and blobs/, whatever its name, in place of the blob
prune step. A delete that fails is logged and the others still run. A

Before writing, `config set` checks the result with the config loader,
refusing only a failure the change brings in: a config that loaded must
still load; one that does not (still being filled in, or with a `${...}`
reference that cannot be filled in here) is checked on the changed
setting alone. The new `config.Parse`, split out of `config.Load`,

List and ListStream walked the destination with afero.Walk, which uses
Lstat and so saw a symlinked metadata/ or blobs/ as one file, while Put,
Get and Stat follow the link. The store then listed as empty, and prune
dropped the local snapshot records and deleted every blob. The listings,
and DeletePartialUploads (used by remote nuke), now walk a view without
Lstat, so afero falls back to Stat and enters the link. A prefix lists
as empty only when truly missing; a missing symlink target on it or
above it, such as an unmounted volume, fails the listing.

system refuses the path, and the listing fails.

Verification now skips the files that failed to restore and keeps its
own failures in a separate list, so failed restores and failed

When a finished blob already existed at the destination, the upload was
skipped but the blob row, and so the manifest, kept the size of the
local copy. That copy can differ from the stored object when
compression_level or the recipients changed since it was written, and
then shallow and deep verify failed on a good snapshot. Marking a blob
uploaded now records the size of the object in storage: for an existing
blob, the size Stat reports.

compression level, because an extra age recipient always makes the
local copy larger, while two zstd levels need not compress the test
data differently.

check / check (push) Waiting to run
Restore and deep verify read the snapshot database straight from
storage rather than through FetchBlob, so the earlier fix for stalled
blob reads did not cover it. A database read stalled on a slow USB
stick or network share kept the operation from returning after Ctrl-C;
the process then exited at the shutdown timeout and left the decrypted
database in the temp directory.

Both reads now wrap the storage reader in the close-on-cancel reader
FetchBlob uses, so a cancel ends the stalled read and the temp
directory is removed. The interrupt test now stalls either a blob or
the snapshot database, for both commands.

Limitation: a read stuck in the kernel that closing cannot interrupt,
such as one on an unresponsive hard NFS mount, still cannot be stopped.

answer from storage counts as missing. Any other error is reported as
could not be checked, with the error storage returned, in the text
report and under --json (the new unchecked list and
database_check_error field), and the run fails. Under --quiet, which
drops the report, each of those errors is logged as a warning on
stderr.

The database check moved into its own small function because the verify
function was at the linter's length limit.

clawbot e48bafccef Restore the other files when a chunk is in no blob under --skip-errors (closes #326)
check / check (push) Successful in 18m23s
Restore planning stopped at the first file needing a chunk that no blob
holds, so --skip-errors never saw that file and nothing was restored.
The planner now leaves such a file out of the plan and returns it with
the reason, and each one goes through handleRestoreFileError like any
other failed file: skipped and counted under --skip-errors, fatal
without it. The fatal error now suggests --skip-errors, as other restore
failures do.

The skip-errors tests now share one backup helper; the new case removes
a blob from the snapshot metadata and exports it again.

clawbot bffd4578fc Record each snapshot's new chunk size when its backup runs (closes #311)
check / check (push) Successful in 12m7s
snapshot list worked out NEW CHUNK SIZE from the snapshot's file rows. A
file's row is shared by every snapshot that lists it and rewritten when
the file changes, so a snapshot whose change was a modified file showed
0 B, and older snapshots' figures moved after later backups.

The scanner now totals the size of the chunks it stores that were not
stored before (the chunks chunk_count counts), the backup writes that
total to a new snapshots column, new_chunk_size, and snapshot list reads
it.

Judgement call: the figure is fixed when the backup runs, so removing an
earlier snapshot no longer raises a later snapshot's figure.

clawbot f4ab1ba5ae Exit as interrupted when Ctrl-C lands during a local index write (closes #301)
check / check (push) Successful in 13m27s
Once the run's context is cancelled, database/sql rolls an open
transaction back itself, so the rollback in WithTx returned
sql.ErrTxDone. WithTx treated any rollback error as fatal and called
os.Exit(1): an interrupted backup printed "FATAL: failed to rollback
transaction", exited 1 instead of 130 and skipped its deferred cleanup.

WithTx now ignores sql.ErrTxDone from the rollback and returns the
body's error alone. A rollback that really fails is returned together
with the body's error instead of ending the process; on a panic it is
dropped and the panic carries on. The cancel test checks that the
returned error carries no sql.ErrTxDone; the other tests make the
rollback really fail by running ROLLBACK inside the body.

clawbot 005927a7fc Print snapshot list and purge sizes like every other command (closes #312)
check / check (push) Successful in 14m54s
`snapshot list`, the `snapshot purge` listing and the `bytes` value in
terminal log lines divided by 1024 while labelling the result KB or MB,
so 6,329,198 bytes read 6.0 MB there and 6.3 MB in every other command.
All three now use humanize.Bytes, as the rest of the program does, and
the 1024-based helper in internal/vaultik is removed.

The size shared by the list tests is now 5,000,000 bytes, which the two
ways of counting print differently.

Judgement call: the log handler's copy of the formatter is changed too,
since the issue asks that every command print a byte count the same way.

clawbot 09a0c01c43 Stop a stalled blob read when restore or deep verify is interrupted (closes #325)
check / check (push) Successful in 14m27s
Restore and deep verify looked for a cancel only between blobs, and the
file backend's reader ignores the context. A blob read stalled on a
slow USB stick or network share outlasted the 30-second shutdown
timeout, so the process exited before removing the decrypted snapshot
database and blob cache from the temp directory.

FetchBlob, through which both read every blob, now closes the storage
reader as soon as the context is cancelled, ending a blocked read on
any backend; Read then returns the context's error, not the closed
reader's.

Limitation: a read stuck in the kernel that closing cannot interrupt,
such as one on an unresponsive hard NFS mount, still cannot be stopped.

clawbot 8c54e0ff75 Make a mistyped subcommand under a group command an error (closes #319)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
snapshot, config, remote, database and completion had no Run, and
cobra checks a command's arguments only when it has one, so `vaultik
snapshot craete` printed the group's help and exited 0. Each group now
prints its help only when given no argument; any other word fails as
an unknown command with exit 1, as at the top level.

cobra adds the completion command only when Execute runs, so the root
command now adds it itself to give it a Run. Its scripts then go to
os.Stdout as it was at that moment; a later SetOut does not redirect
them.

Judgement call: the error has no "Did you mean" suggestion, which the
top level gives.

clawbot d1213ecb34 Make a leading **/ in an exclude pattern match at the top level (closes #303)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
An unanchored exclude pattern such as **/node_modules or **/*.pyc
needed a / before the name, so it excluded sub/node_modules and
sub/y.pyc but backed up node_modules/ and x.pyc directly under the
snapshot path. An unanchored pattern already matches at every depth,
so the leading **/ is now dropped when the pattern is compiled and,
as in gitignore, the pattern matches the top level too.

Judgement call: an anchored /**/x is left as it was; the issue covers
patterns that start with **/.

clawbot 5f6455ba17 Refuse a relative file:// storage_url and decode its escapes (closes #299)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
The path after file:// was used as written. file://dest resolved
against the working directory, so a backup run from another directory
wrote elsewhere, exited 0 and left a snapshot that could not be
restored; my%20stick created a directory with that literal name.

Config load now refuses a file:// storage_url whose path is not
absolute. ParseStorageURL refuses it too and decodes percent-escapes;
a literal space still works. The rule is written in both packages
because config cannot import storage, which imports config.

A % not followed by two hex digits now fails when the storage is
opened, not at config load.

clawbot 0288735aaf Remove the blob temp file when a backup stops part-way (closes #302)
check / check (push) Successful in 15m12s
When `snapshot create` stopped on a file error, a full temporary
directory or Ctrl-C, the blob being packed was never finalized, and its
`vaultik-blob-*.tmp` file (up to `blob_size_limit` of encrypted data)
stayed in `$TMPDIR`. Phase 2 now calls the new
`Packer.DiscardCurrentBlob` on the way out, which closes and removes
that file. After a successful flush no blob is in progress, so the call
then does nothing.

The blob's row in the local index is left, as before, for the next
run's repair of interrupted blobs to remove.

check / check (push) Successful in 13m18s
snapshot create read --keep-newer-than only in the post-backup prune,
so a value the duration parser rejects failed the run after the
snapshot was uploaded: a nightly cron line added a snapshot each night,
reported it as failed, and never deleted any. Without --prune the flag
was ignored. The command now checks the flag before it starts and fails
on an invalid duration or a missing --prune.

A failed post-backup prune is now wrapped in ErrPostBackupPruneFailed
and reported as "Backup completed, but post-backup prune failed: ..."
rather than as a failed snapshot creation. The exit status stays 1.

clawbot 94412d9ef3 Stop remote info counting a non-blob file under blobs/ (closes #295)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
remote info counted every key under blobs/ with four or more path parts
as a blob, while prune skips a name that is not a blob hash. A stray
file such as .DS_Store was reported as an orphaned blob, with advice to
run prune, which then deleted nothing. remote info now takes its blob
list from prune's listAllRemoteBlobs, so its blob and orphan figures,
in the table and in --json, cover exactly what prune would consider.

blobKeyParts moves to prune.go, its only remaining user.

clawbot 167c0a0746 Make snapshot remove fail for an unknown snapshot ID (closes #293)
check / check (push) Successful in 12m4s
snapshot remove never checked that the ID existed: it deleted nothing,
reported the snapshot removed from the local database and from the
destination store, and exited 0, under --json, --dry-run and
--local-only too. It now looks the ID up in the local index and, only
when that has no row and --local-only is not set, on the destination
store; finding neither is an error. The command reports a removal from
the local database only when the local index had the row, and
remote_removed is true only when metadata was actually deleted.

Judgement call: under --local-only the destination store is not
consulted, so the snapshot must be in the local index.

clawbot 07c957f84b Bind the local index to the s3.* destination too (closes #298)
check / check (push) Successful in 15m35s
The local index was bound to its destination only through storage_url.
With the s3.* form nothing was checked, so after s3.bucket or s3.prefix
changed the next backup treated every chunk as already stored, uploaded
nothing, and completed a snapshot that could not be restored.

Without storage_url, the binding now records the destination the s3.*
fields name, written as an s3:// URL from s3.endpoint, s3.bucket and
s3.prefix, and a change is refused with the same error and advice. The
advice line now names the s3.* fields as well as storage_url.

Judgement call: the fields are compared as written, so an equivalent
spelling (a trailing slash on the prefix, a scheme on the endpoint) is
also refused, as it already is for storage_url.

clawbot c9a519c233 Reject a retention duration longer than about 292 years (closes #289)
check / check (push) Failing after 3m36s
parseDuration multiplied each number by the length of its unit with no
limit, so from 293y (or 15251w, 3559mo, 106752d, or a sum such as
200y200y) the result wrapped to a negative duration. The purge cutoff
then lay in the future and every snapshot of the name was selected, for
--older-than and --keep-newer-than alike. Each part is now checked
before it is added, and a total past the largest time.Duration is
rejected as an invalid duration, so nothing is deleted. Go units were
already safe: time.ParseDuration rejects an overflow.

With --prune the backup still runs before the duration is read; only
the prune step fails.

clawbot fa56165fe4 Stop a cancelled backup at once under --skip-errors (closes #286)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
After Ctrl-C or SIGTERM, phase 2 of a --skip-errors backup treated the
cancellation error from each remaining file like an unreadable file: it
opened the file, printed an error line, counted it as failed and moved
on to the next. The processing loop now checks for cancellation before
each file, and an error from a file once the run is cancelled stops the
run instead of being skipped. The loop check is what stops a run
cancelled while an empty file is open, since an empty file has no
chunks and nothing reads the context while it is backed up.

The --skip-errors test helper now takes the scan's context.
