The banner is printed to stdout before cobra parses, and
bannerSuppressedInArgs recognised only --quiet, -q and --cron. So every
--json document was preceded by two banner lines and a blank one, and
`vaultik snapshot list --json | jq` failed. Passing opts.JSON as
extraQuiet did not help: that calls UI.SetQuiet in an fx OnStart hook,
long after Entry has printed.
The raw-argv scan is extended rather than the banner moved after
parsing. root.go documents that the banner must survive cobra rejecting
its arguments and --help, and no single post-parse location covers those
paths. The subcommand-versus-persistent distinction does not decide it:
--cron is already in the suppression list and is itself subcommand-only,
existing on snapshot create alone, so this adds another instance of an
accepted imprecision rather than a new kind. The error directions are
asymmetric - a false positive loses a decorative banner, a false negative
corrupts a document - so the scan errs toward suppression, which is also
why --json=false suppresses, exactly as --quiet=false already does.
Four of the five --json commands now pipe into jq cleanly with no other
flags: snapshot list, snapshot verify, snapshot remove, remote info.
prune does not, because pruneLocalSnapshots writes three prose lines to
stdout with no --json awareness. That reproduces identically before this
change and -q never suppressed it either, since printlnStdout and
stdoutf bypass v.UI entirely. Tracked as #108.
Also fixed: TTYHandler's human-readable byte formatting did not survive
grouping, because the key check compared against the bare attribute name
and a grouped record presents it qualified. AGENTS.md policy 9 keyed the
log format on stdout's TTY-ness, which #82 made false by moving the
logger to stderr; it now names the log stream. Vaultik.Stderr keeps its
field with the comment amended to say outright that nothing writes to
it, and the dead listEnv.stderr is removed.
Closes#97.
internal/log attached both handlers to os.Stdout, so any record that was
not suppressed landed in the middle of a --json document. WARN and ERROR
are never suppressed, so this was not hypothetical: a config file with
permissions looser than 0600 was enough to break
`vaultik snapshot list --json | jq`.
Both handlers now write to os.Stderr, and the TTY-vs-JSON format choice
tests os.Stderr rather than os.Stdout - the format has to follow the
stream the records land on, or a redirected stderr gets colorized
whenever stdout happens to be a terminal.
User-visible: --verbose and --debug output moves to stderr too, so
`vaultik snapshot list -v > out.txt` no longer captures diagnostics.
--quiet and --cron semantics are unchanged.
TTYHandler.WithAttrs and WithGroup discarded their arguments and returned
the receiver, while their doc comments claimed otherwise, so attributes
passed through the exported log.With vanished. The effect was
environment-dependent in the worst direction: handler choice is by
TTY-ness, so attributes disappeared on a terminal - where a developer is
debugging - and appeared correctly in CI. Both now return a new handler
with copied state rather than mutating the receiver, since slog permits a
handler to be shared and derived from concurrently. A test asserts the
TTY and JSON handlers emit the same attribute set, which is the test that
would have caught the original defect.
The local workaround in snapshot_list.go is removed now that the logger
no longer writes to stdout. The collect-then-emit machinery is kept, but
for a different reason than it was added: emitting from the fetch workers
would order warnings by network timing, whereas key-order emission after
group.Wait() is deterministic run to run.
Not yet complete: --json stdout still carries the startup banner, which
internal/cli/entry.go writes before cobra parses and which
bannerSuppressedInArgs does not recognise --json for. That is the
remaining stdout contamination path and is tracked in #106.
No tag could be cut at all: .goreleaser.yaml had no gitea_urls block, so
goreleaser defaulted to the GitHub API, and the repo has zero tags.
.goreleaser.yaml now points at git.eeqj.de. Version derives from git via
a new script/version - exact tag with any leading v stripped, else
dev-<12-char sha>, with a -dirty suffix when tracked files are modified -
replacing the hardcoded 1.0.0-rc.1 that every local build was stamping
regardless of git state. A tag-triggered .gitea/workflows/release.yml
runs goreleaser with a scoped token (RELEASE_TOKEN); script/bootstrap
installs a sha256-verified goreleaser, and make release / release-snapshot
become script shims like every other target.
Two fabrications were removed rather than merely replaced. goreleaser's
snapshot.version_template was `{{ incpatch .Version }}-next`, which
invents a release number from the last tag - and with no tags, from
goreleaser's own fabricated v0.0.0. And internal/cli/version.go gated its
development-build notice on Version == "dev" exactly, so the moment
untagged builds carried a sha that notice would have gone silent and an
unreleased binary would have read as a release. Replaced with a tested
IsDevVersion predicate, and closed at both layers: the Makefile now
refuses to build when script/version yields nothing, and an empty version
counts as a development build - reachable today via
`docker build --build-arg VERSION=`.
The release workflow installs Go from a sha-pinned actions/setup-go
(v5.6.0) using go-version-file, so the compiler that produces released
binaries is pinned like every other external reference. Without it the
first tag push would either fail at goreleaser's before-hook or compile
the published artifacts with whatever unpinned Go the runner happened to
carry - the one unpinned thing in a release path that already refuses an
unpinned goreleaser.
Known gap: the Go tarball setup-go fetches is version-pinned but not
checksum-verified against a value in this repo, unlike the goreleaser
install and the Dockerfile digest.
Closes#80.
script/lint pointed GOLANGCI_LINT_CACHE at a path shared by every
worktree of this repo. Two worktrees have identical Go file contents, so
their cache keys collided and one tree's stored findings replayed for
another, paths included - observed as 231 findings all citing another
session's worktree, with no parallel-runner message to signal it. The
failure is symmetric and only one direction is loud: a clean tree failed
by a dirty sibling gets investigated, a dirty tree passed by a clean
sibling does not.
The cache is now keyed per worktree on a digest of $ROOT, and remains
persistent. Independently of that, script/lint-audit inspects every run's
output and fails the run if any finding cites a path outside the tree
being linted. That guard is the load-bearing part: it converts a silent
unearned green into a hard error regardless of how the cache is keyed. It
is deliberately built so it can never certify a pass, only reject, so it
cannot itself become a gate that reports green.
The native path was gated on version equality alone, which admitted a
locally installed matching binary and bypassed the digest pin. It now
requires VAULTIK_LINT_IN_CONTAINER=1, set only by the Dockerfile lint
stage, in addition to version equality. /.dockerenv was rejected as the
signal because dockerd creates it for `docker run` but not reliably
during a BuildKit `docker build`, which is the case the exception exists
for. A version mismatch inside the container is now a hard error rather
than a fall-through.
This mattered more than the issue supposed: on this host a matching
golangci-lint exists on PATH, so script/lint was taking the native path
and linting against the global cache without ever running the pinned
image. That is the likely root of the observed contamination, and it is
closed here rather than mitigated.
The parallel-runner error is retried rather than reported. It is not a
lint result, and surfacing it as a non-zero exit is indistinguishable to
a caller from real findings; exhausted retries fail saying the tree was
never analysed. Note that a private cache alone does not remove lock
contention - measured with two concurrent runs using separate cache
directories.
script/bootstrap no longer reports success on a machine that cannot run
the gate: docker is now required by lint, check and precommit, so a
missing binary or unreachable daemon is a hard failure naming what will
not work.
Closes#69.
script/test ran `go test` without -count=1, so Go's test cache satisfied
the gate without running anything: a repeat `make test` printed all 14 ok
lines in 0.42 seconds, every one marked (cached). Those lines count as ok
lines, so the evidence signal this repo relies on was forgeable. It sits
below the Docker layer cache - CHECK_EPOCH forces `RUN make test` to
re-execute, but a GOCACHE baked into an earlier image layer survives into
the re-executed step, so the step can run and still do no work.
-count=1 is applied unconditionally rather than only in the container,
because the pre-commit hook runs the same script and a gate honest only
in CI is dishonest where it is leaned on most. It costs about 11 seconds
on every repeat run, which is what it costs for a repeat run to mean
anything. test-coverage had the same omission and is fixed too; a
coverage profile assembled from cached results describes a run that did
not happen. Both invocations in script/test now share one run_tests
function so the quiet run and the verbose rerun cannot drift apart in
flags.
make test-integration passed -tags=integration while no file in the repo
carries any build tag, so it was an exact duplicate of make test. Removed
rather than given a tag scheme: the whole suite is 12s on the host, so
gating saves seconds in exchange for a mechanism whose failure mode is
"some tests silently stopped running" - a poor trade in a repo that has
found several ways for a gate to report an unearned green.
-timeout goes 30s to 120s. This DIVERGES from REPO_POLICIES.md:192, which
mandates 30s; the divergence is deliberate, recorded in script/test's
comment, and proposed upstream as #101. Measured worst case is 10.2s and
each fresh measurement has come in above the last, leaving 30s at 2.9x -
too thin for a loaded runner. A -timeout is a hang backstop, not a
performance budget.
Note for the record: cold-cache compilation is NOT charged against
-timeout. The flag reaches the test binary as -test.timeout and its clock
starts inside testing.M.Run, after compilation. Verified twice
independently - a run with an empty GOCACHE spent ~46s compiling and then
reported per-package durations within noise of warm. A shell
`timeout 30 go test ./...` does include compilation, but that is a
different mechanism.
PR #89 stopped script/cibuild replaying cached check layers, but left a
gap: a bare `docker build .` with no --build-arg still faked. An unset
ARG is an empty string, an empty string is a stable cache key, and the
check layers replay from it. That gap mattered because REPO_POLICIES.md
names `docker build .` verbatim as a command that must be green, so the
documented command was the one that lied.
Both check stages now carry `RUN [ -n "$CHECK_EPOCH" ] || exit 1`
immediately under their own ARG. Failed steps are never cached, so this
fails on every invocation rather than once - a bare build now stops with
a named error instead of reporting a green it did not earn. Each stage
needs its own guard because ARG scope is per-stage; a gate-carrying stage
without one is a silent hole if ordering ever changes.
The check RUNs now reference the value (`echo "check epoch: ${CHECK_EPOCH}"
&& make <target>`), so the cache miss is contractual rather than resting
on BuildKit's current treatment of unreferenced ARGs, and the epoch is
visible in the build log.
The epoch becomes "$(date +%s%N)$$" so concurrent invocations in the same
second cannot collide. busybox silently drops %N and exits 0, so $$ is
what makes it correct there. The bare-assignment form is retained
deliberately: inlining the substitution into --build-arg would, under
set -eu, yield an empty and therefore constant epoch without aborting.
script/docker gets the same treatment - it is not the gate, but two
entrypoints disagreeing about whether the tree is green is its own
hazard, and local builds are almost always warm.
Verified by negative control rather than inspection: a bare build fails
twice consecutively here and succeeds twice on the parent commit, so the
change is demonstrably not a no-op. The builder-stage guard was fired
directly with a targeted probe build, since the lint stage otherwise
fails first and would leave it unexercised.
script/cibuild was a bare `docker build .`. On an unchanged tree Docker
served the check RUN layers from cache, so make fmt-check, make lint and
make test never executed - and the build still exited 0. Measured at
221ms with zero ok lines and every check layer CACHED, against 162s for a
real run. CI showed the same signature: 6 second "successes" on main.
An ARG CHECK_EPOCH now sits immediately above the check RUNs in both
stages - each stage declares its own, since ARG scope is per-stage - and
script/cibuild passes a fresh value per invocation. Dependency and module
layers sit above the ARG and still cache, so this does not make every
build cold.
The epoch is assigned before the build rather than inlined into the
--build-arg. Under `set -eu` a command substitution that fails inside an
argument does not abort the script: CHECK_EPOCH would become an empty
string, an empty string is a constant, a constant CHECK_EPOCH restores
the cached false green, and the guard would silently disarm itself while
still exiting 0. As a bare assignment, set -e catches a failing date and
no build starts.
The README and Dockerfile state the guarantee conditionally. It holds per
build context and CHECK_EPOCH value, and depends on script/cibuild
passing a fresh one - a bare `docker build .` with no --build-arg still
replays the check layers from the second consecutive run onward. That
residual gap is tracked in #91 along with the remaining upstream
hardening.
Verification is recorded once, in the PR's verification comment, rather
than restated with differing numbers in three places.
The Vaultik.UI doc comment claimed the cli layer replaces the writer with
a discarding writer in --cron mode. It does not. UI is built once as
ui.New(os.Stdout) and never reassigned; internal/cli/app.go calls
UI.SetQuiet(true) when --cron or --quiet is set, which drops Begin,
Complete, Info, Notice, Detail, Progress and Banner - but Warningf and
Errorf have no quiet check and are still emitted.
That distinction matters: the end-of-run summary is deliberately routed
through UI.Warningf so cron delivers something, so a reader who believed
the comment would have concluded the opposite of how the code is meant to
work.
The README's --cron description carried the same imprecision ("Silent
unless error") and is corrected alongside it.
Comment and documentation only - the Go diff contains no non-comment
lines, so there is no behavior change.
ListSnapshots built its table entirely from the local SQLite index. The
only remote access, reportRemoteDrift, was gated on AgeSecretKey != "",
so on a correctly configured host - which by design holds no private key
- snapshot list never contacted the destination store at all. A user who
lost their local index could not see their own backups, and the
"<remote only>" cell the README documents was unreachable dead code.
The listing is now the union of the local index and the destination
store, with no age_secret_key gate. Remote-only snapshots cannot have
their hostname or name recovered - RemoteSnapshotKey is one-way and the
manifest stores the hash - so they are listed by abbreviated remote key
with the real timestamp and compressed size from the manifest, and
"<remote only>" in the two columns that require the local index. Nothing
new is written to remote storage and the human ID is never fabricated.
An unreachable destination degrades to local-only with a warning and a
zero exit code. remote_present is null rather than false in that case,
so "absent" and "unknown" stay distinguishable and no drift is claimed
from a listing that never happened.
Also:
- Snapshot timestamps are normalised to UTC in scanSnapshotRows, the
single point where they enter the domain. Previously one of three
scanners omitted .UTC(), so on a non-UTC host the same snapshot
rendered a different time depending on whether it was locally tracked.
- The 1000-row cap and the unreadable-manifest count are reported in
--json mode as well as table mode, so machine consumers cannot be
silently truncated. The JSON shape is unchanged.
- Warnings raised while listing are routed to stderr rather than the
logger, which writes to stdout and would corrupt the JSON document.
This is a local workaround for the logger bug tracked in #82 and
should be removed when that lands.
- downloadManifestByKey is now the only remote manifest reader, so the
manifest privacy question in #81 has a single call site to change.
- The orphaned "vaultik snapshot cleanup" hint now names vaultik prune;
that command was folded into prune by the 2026-07-02 consolidation.
script/lint ran bare golangci-lint from PATH while CI and the Dockerfile
pinned v2.12.2 by digest, so make lint and CI could disagree about
findings. That drift ran both directions: it produced two false green
claims during the lint remediation, and on an ambient 2.10.1 it also
reported four gosec findings on a tree CI linted clean.
script/lint now extracts the image reference - tag and digest - from the
Dockerfile lint stage FROM line and runs that exact image under docker.
The Dockerfile FROM line is the single source of truth for the linter
version; the duplicate pins in the Makefile deps target and in
script/bootstrap are removed rather than kept in sync.
A golangci-lint on PATH is used only when its version exactly equals the
pin, which is what makes the in-container lint stage work (the Dockerfile
runs make lint inside the pinned image, where there is no docker daemon).
Any other version, or none, goes through docker. When docker is
unavailable the script fails with an actionable message and never falls
back to a different linter version.
script/lint-fix delegates to script/lint --fix so autofixes come from the
pinned linter too. The container mounts persistent build and module
caches and runs as the invoking uid/gid.
Verified by reinstating the four historical nolint directives that 2.10.1
requires and 2.12.2 reports as unused: the old script passed on that tree
and the new one fails with four nolintlint findings.
The verb surface accumulated overlapping cleanup commands. Consolidate
so each cleanup verb has one meaning:
- Rename 'database purge' -> 'database delete'. The command removes the
SQLite file entirely; "purge" wrongly suggested purging contents.
- Fold 'snapshot cleanup' into 'prune'. Prune now runs three passes:
reconcile local snapshots against the remote (previously the
standalone cleanup command), drop orphaned local rows, then delete
unreferenced remote blobs. One command, one mental model.
- Delete 'store info'. Its output was a strict subset of 'remote info',
which already prints storage type + location. Any user reaching for
either should reach for 'remote info'.
- Drop 'snapshot remove --all'. It duplicated 'remote nuke --force'.
'remote nuke' is the single supported entry point for wiping the
destination store.
Also update the storage-binding error message to reference the new
'vaultik database delete' name.
The previous change had snapshot rm auto-prune unreferenced blobs. The
correct division of labor is: rm removes a snapshot (local DB + remote
metadata), prune cleans up blobs. Reverting the auto-prune means rm
stays a cheap, deterministic operation: it touches one snapshot's worth
of state and emits the exact 'vaultik prune' command the user should
run next to delete blobs no longer referenced by any remote manifest.
This is correct because prune must consult every remote manifest
(including snapshots this host doesn't know about) to determine which
blobs are still referenced, and folding that work into rm would
silently turn rm into an expensive O(remote snapshots) operation that
also assumes the remote is fully reachable.
snapshot rm <id> now does the full cleanup: removes the local index
entry, strips the snapshot's metadata from the destination store, and
prunes any blobs that were only referenced by the just-removed manifest.
The --remote flag is retired; --local-only opts out for the rare case
where the user wants to forget a snapshot locally without touching the
remote.
If the destination store is unreachable, the local-DB removal still
completes and a warning is emitted; the user can rerun 'vaultik prune'
to retry the remote half later.
RemoveAllSnapshots gets the same treatment: after deleting every
snapshot's metadata (local + remote + orphan keys), an automatic blob
prune sweep removes the now-unreferenced blob set.
The CLI had two commands named "prune" doing different jobs (local
DB orphan cleanup vs. remote blob garbage collection), which was
confusing and forced a manual two-step workflow after deleting any
snapshot.
Single user-facing prune surface is now `vaultik prune`, which calls
PruneDatabase (local orphan cleanup) then PruneBlobs (remote unref
blob GC). Snapshot deletion paths (snapshot remove, snapshot remove
--all, snapshot purge) auto-run CleanupOrphanedData inline so the
local index database doesn't accumulate ghost rows after every
removal — the user observed ~39k orphaned files and 2 orphaned blobs
after a remove --all because that cleanup was previously a separate
opt-in command. `snapshot prune` is removed.
Also addresses the doc/help-string drift the user audit caught:
* cli/prune.go help text used to reference a non-existent
`vaultik purge` command.
* cli/config.go get/set short/long examples were S3-specific
(s3.bucket) when the primary storage configuration is
storage_url.
* vaultik/info.go printed S3 Bucket/Endpoint/Region labels
unconditionally; for file:// or rclone:// users those rows
were empty. The Storage Configuration block now prints the
storer's Type+Location first, the storage_url string when set,
and only emits S3 rows that are actually populated.
* vaultik/info.go's "Run 'vaultik prune --remote'" hint
referenced a flag that doesn't exist.
* vaultik/blobcache.go's doc comment claimed LRU eviction, which
is no longer the restore-time policy (the sweeper drives
eviction; LRU is the safety-net fallback when maxBytes is
finite).
* README.md listed `vaultik restore`, `vaultik snapshot prune`,
and `s3.bucket` example, all out of date.
README's roadmap section is rewritten with concrete pre-1.0 items
(security audit, error-condition tests, parallel blob downloads,
restart of interrupted restore, …) so the next-steps surface
matches what the project actually still needs.
The cleanup calls are guarded against a nil SnapshotManager so
tests that construct a bare Vaultik struct continue to work.
Renames the top-level `restore` command to `vaultik snapshot restore`
for consistency with `vaultik snapshot create`. The factory follows the
sibling pattern (newSnapshotRestoreCommand) and its file is renamed to
snapshot_restore.go to match.
remote nuke: new subcommand that deletes every snapshot's metadata and
every blob from remote storage, leaving the bucket prefix empty.
Requires --force.
User-facing 'Processing' is now 'Backing up' everywhere it referred to
the chunking/upload phase. Files summary line says 'backed up' instead
of 'processed'.
ui.Speed now formats bytes/sec input as bits/sec output (bit/s, Kbit/s,
Mbit/s, Gbit/s). Network transfer rates are conventionally expressed
in bits — the per-blob heartbeat now matches the per-snapshot summary
line which has always been bits/sec.
restore aborts on the first per-file failure by default, surfacing
the file path and the underlying error and suggesting --skip-errors
to continue past failures.
--skip-errors moved from a 'snapshot create' subcommand flag to a
top-level persistent flag on the root command. It applies to both
snapshot create and restore. Old 'vaultik snapshot create --skip-
errors' still works because persistent flags are inherited.
- New ui.Detail method for indented continuation lines under a
preceding Complete (visually same as Progress: " 》" in white).
- Snapshot summary lines (Files/Data/Storage/Upload/Duration) are
now Detail lines indented under "Created snapshot X.".
- Local index database prune complete result lines (incomplete
snapshots, orphaned files/chunks/blobs) are also Detail lines
under a clean Complete header.
- "Files: ... to process" → "Files: ... processed" (they have been
processed by the time we emit the summary).
- "Data: ... (... to process)" → "Data: ... (... processed)".
- ui.Writer now tracks warning and error counts emitted; Vaultik
prints "Finished successfully." or "Finished (with N warnings)."
as the final line of CreateSnapshot.
Progress lines now use the form:
..., <subject> elapsed: <dur>, <subject> ETA: <time> (est remain <dur>).
ui.Time formats same-day times as HH:MM:SS and other-day times as
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, with no timezone suffix (local time is implied).
The local-index-database prune complete line now shows remaining
counts for each category:
... 1 incomplete snapshots removed (3 remain), 3783 orphaned files
removed (42 remain), ...
❌ is a thin black-and-white cross that gets lost against terminal
backgrounds and the ANSI red text. 🛑 is a solid red octagon that
reads unmistakably as 'stop/error' at a glance, even when the user
isn't reading the line carefully.
All user-facing output now goes through a single ui.Writer with a
uniform style:
》 (white) for begin / info / notice
》 (green) for complete / success
Warning: for warnings (orange)
ERROR: for errors (red)
》 (indented) for progress heartbeats
Color is enabled when stdout is a TTY and NO_COLOR is unset.
Standards:
- Complete-sentence messages with fully qualified terms ("backup
destination store", "local index database", "snapshot source
files enumeration").
- Every Complete has a matching Begin.
- Natural verb tense conveys state ("Uploading" -> "Uploaded"). The
words "begin"/"complete" never appear in message bodies; the marker
color carries that information.
- ETA means clock time, not duration. Progress lines say "estimated
remaining time (<dur>), finish at <time>" with both labeled.
Adds globals.CommitDate (populated by Makefile/Dockerfile/goreleaser
via ldflags from `git show -s --format=%cI HEAD`) and a startup banner
printed once per invocation.
Strips fx call-chain noise from startup errors so users see the actual
underlying error (e.g. "creating base path: mkdir /Volumes/BACKUPS:
permission denied" instead of three layers of "could not build
arguments for function ...").
README documents the output style and the ui package conventions.
When the scanner hits a permission-denied error (TCC-protected
directories on macOS without Full Disk Access, or any other EPERM),
the error now names the offending path and includes platform-specific
remediation instructions. On macOS it points the user at System
Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Full Disk Access. On other
platforms it suggests --skip-errors.
The error wraps os.ErrPermission so errors.Is still works for callers
that care about the underlying error.
README quickstart and snapshot create docs now mention the macOS FDA
requirement.
Module path changed from git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik to
sneak.berlin/go/vaultik (vanity redirect). All imports, ldflags,
Dockerfile, goreleaser config, and docs updated. App data/config
directories now use plain "vaultik" instead of the reverse-DNS name.
README:
- New copy-pasteable quickstart at top: go install, config init,
age keypair, config set for key + file:// destination, home backup
- All command names in command details are code-quoted
- config set/get gained sequence index support (age_recipients.0)
so lists are settable from the CLI
- Dockerfile build is CGO_ENABLED=0 to match the pure-Go build
The config command group manages the config file:
config init - write default config (moved from top-level init)
config edit - open the config in $EDITOR (falls back to vi)
config get - print a value by dotted YAML path (s3.bucket)
config set - set a scalar value by dotted YAML path
get/set operate on the yaml.Node tree so comments and formatting in
the config file are preserved across edits. set creates intermediate
maps as needed.
New init command writes a default config file with commented
explanations for every setting. Uses XDG config directory via
github.com/adrg/xdg for platform-appropriate paths:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/vaultik/config.yml
Linux: ~/.config/vaultik/config.yml
root: /etc/vaultik/config.yml
Config resolution now searches the XDG path before /etc/vaultik/.
Refuses to overwrite an existing file. Created with 0600 permissions.
README quickstart rewritten as a single copy-pasteable shell block
walking through install, keygen, init, edit, first backup, verify,
and cron setup.
--cron now sets Vaultik.Stdout to io.Discard so all user-facing output
is suppressed, not just the scanner progress. Errors still go to stderr
via the structured logger.
snapshot list now warns when local snapshot records have no matching
remote metadata, and suggests 'vaultik snapshot cleanup' instead of
silently deleting them.
snapshot cleanup is a new subcommand that explicitly removes stale
local snapshot records. syncWithRemote (used by purge) still does
this automatically since purge is already destructive.
.gitignore changed from 'vaultik' to '/vaultik' so it only matches
the binary at the repo root, not the internal/vaultik/ directory.
snapshot create --prune now accepts --keep-newer-than <duration> (e.g.
4w, 30d, 6mo) to keep a rolling window of snapshots instead of only
the latest. Supports d/w/mo/y units and combinations (2w3d).
Without --keep-newer-than, --prune still defaults to keep-latest-only.
README now covers: storage backends (s3/file/rclone), all CLI commands
with full flag docs, configuration reference table, architecture overview,
roadmap (post-1.0 only), and development workflow.
TODO.md removed — completed items dropped, remaining roadmap items
merged into README.
ARCHITECTURE.md updated: correct snapshot ID format, storage.Storer
instead of s3.Client, binary SQLite export instead of SQL dump.
The --daemon flag, BackupInterval, FullScanInterval, MinTimeBetweenRun
config fields, and DirtyPath model were placeholders for a never-shipped
daemon mode and have been removed. Daemon mode is out of scope for 1.0.
