next: integrate accumulated work into main #203

Open
clawbot wants to merge 92 commits from next into main
Collaborator

On next beyond main. Lint config, docs, one test, and the version stamp in the Docker build.

  • Canonical lint config (#90). .golangci.yml is now the canonical file from prompts: gomodguard_v2 replaces the deprecated gomodguard, and the depguard rule keeps test-support code out of the shipped binary. One difference from canonical: that rule also names vaultik's test-only package internal/storage/faultstore. Nothing needed fixing.
  • Migrations are supported (#68), following your correction. docs/DATAMODEL.md, the README and AGENTS.md say the numbered schema files are migrations applied when a database is opened; none are added before 1.0, and after 1.0 an existing local database is migrated on update. Disclosure: CLAUDE.md line 33, your file, now reads "We do not add migrations before 1.0" instead of "We do not need to support migrations".
  • Disk-full restore test runs again (#207). It was still switched off, waiting on a fix that had already landed. Only the test's simulated full disk needed correcting; restore is unchanged.
  • Roadmap and TODO.md list only after-1.0 work (#208). The roadmap no longer lists the finished security review and fault-injection tests as remaining, says no outside audit has been done (kept as after-1.0 work), adds daemon mode, and drops a size-flags item that described nothing. TODO.md says the 1.0 work is complete and that merging and tagging are yours.
  • Version from git in a plain docker build . (#211). The image stamps the git tag or short commit instead of dev; .git goes into the build context without its config; a plain build no longer needs CHECK_EPOCH. vaultik version shows its development-build notice for anything but a plain tag, including -dirty builds.

To merge. Merging updates main only: no tag, no release, no deploy.

d24f5dc33c
The lint config is now the canonical file from `prompts`, which replaces the deprecated `gomodguard` with `gomodguard_v2`, so lint prints no deprecation warnings. It also turns on the `depguard` `test-support` rule. The one difference from canonical is that the deny list names vaultik's own test-only package `internal/storage/faultstore`, so shipped code cannot import it. The new config found nothing to fix in the source.

Issues and PRs that pin the old `.golangci.yml` sha256 as an untouched-file check need the new one: `7122fcf0dd0ea57441374f98ebd98bb3da23decb67f9209fee5175170838fbd1`.

check / check (push) Successful in 3m6s
check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m8s
6e1f499048
The docs now say vaultik supports migrations. The numbered files in `internal/database/schema/` are migrations: `schema_migrations` records which have run, and opening a database applies any that have not. None are added before 1.0 because nothing is installed anywhere yet, so a schema change edits `001.sql` directly. After 1.0 each change is a new numbered file, and an existing local database is migrated when vaultik is updated.

`docs/DATAMODEL.md` owns the explanation. The README caveat and roadmap entry and `AGENTS.md` policy 13 link to it. This replaces the wording from #146, which said there was no upgrade path.

Disclosure: `CLAUDE.md` line 33, the owner's file, changes from "do not need to support migrations" to "do not add migrations before 1.0".

b30e79ee45
TestRestoreReportsDiskFull was skipped pending
#163, which is closed. The skip
and its "skipped until" wording are removed.

Restore is unchanged. With the skip removed the test failed because
restore succeeded: its simulated full disk capped only Create, but
restore now opens each file with OpenFile, so nothing was capped. It now
caps OpenFile, and only for files under the restore target: restore also
writes the decrypted metadata database under $TMPDIR through the same
filesystem, and capping that would fail the restore before any file
reached the target.

Judgement call: the test was corrected, not restore; both assertions are
unchanged.

584444b619
The README roadmap and the TODO.md Next Step still described finished
1.0 work as remaining. The roadmap now lists only work planned after
1.0. Its security item says the code was reviewed before 1.0, every bug
found was fixed, and the accepted risks are listed; an outside audit
stays as after-1.0 work. The error-condition item is gone because every
failure case it listed has a fault-injection test. Daemon mode is added.
TODO.md says the 1.0 work is complete on next and that merging and
tagging are the owner's.

Judgement call: dropped the human-readable size flags item; no command
flag takes a raw-integer size.

Stamp the tag or short commit in a plain docker build (closes #211)
check / check (push) Successful in 3m35s
check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m16s
070090124a
A plain `docker build .` stamped `dev`: `.dockerignore` left out `.git`
and the Dockerfile defaulted VERSION to `dev`. `.dockerignore` now
sends `.git` without `.git/config`. Given no build arguments, the
builder stamps `git describe --tags --always` and the commit and date
from git, and fails if `.git` is present but yields no version. The
empty CHECK_EPOCH refusal is gone so the plain build succeeds.
`script/version` now prints `git describe --tags --always --dirty`, so
make, the scripts and a plain build agree. `vaultik version` treats
the short commit, tag-N-gHASH forms and any version ending in `-dirty`
as development builds, so they keep the development-build notice.

Re-chunk a known file whose chunks no uploaded blob holds (closes #214)
check / check (push) Successful in 6m53s
check / check (pull_request) Successful in 6m17s
35cf985c18
File rows are shared by every snapshot and updated in place, while a
blob row is deleted once no snapshot references it. Removing the newest
snapshot, or the prune after an interrupted run, could drop the only
blob holding a changed file's current chunks while an older snapshot
kept the file row. The next backup compared metadata only, skipped the
file, and completed a snapshot that could not restore it.

The scanner now loads the IDs of known files that list a chunk no
uploaded blob holds and re-chunks them even when their metadata is
unchanged.

The tests append to a file, so the file keeps its first chunk in a blob
the first snapshot still references. Each backup run gets its own
snapshot name, so the second-precision snapshot IDs differ without
sleeping.

Reject a duration with characters outside its parts (closes #215)
check / check (push) Successful in 7m28s
check / check (pull_request) Successful in 5m39s
713be502bd
parseDuration fell back to an unanchored search for number-and-unit
pieces when time.ParseDuration failed, and skipped everything in
between. 1.0y became 0, so `snapshot create --prune --keep-newer-than
1.0y` deleted every snapshot of the backed-up names, the new one
included. 2.1w became one week and 1,5y five years. The fallback now
requires the whole input to be whole-number-and-unit parts with nothing
between them. A bare number is rejected before time.ParseDuration sees
it, since Go reads 0 and +0 as zero with no unit.

Judgement call: a space between number and unit (`30 days`) was
accepted and is now an error, matching Go's own units.

List a missing file:// destination directory as an error (closes #220)
check / check (push) Successful in 5m53s
check / check (pull_request) Successful in 4m53s
ea72697992
The file backend listed a destination directory that does not exist as
an empty store. With the volume unplugged, snapshot list reported every
local snapshot as missing from the store, snapshot remove said it had
removed metadata it never reached, and prune dropped every local
snapshot record. List and ListStream now fail when the destination
directory is missing, so those commands take their existing path for a
store that cannot be listed. A missing prefix under an existing
directory is still an empty listing, and a first backup still creates
the directory.

Three tests listed a file:// destination nothing had created; they now
create it.

Record the real uid and gid of backed-up files (closes #216)
check / check (push) Successful in 4m58s
check / check (pull_request) Successful in 6m21s
4a167e153a
The scanner read uid and gid by asserting the stat result to an
interface with Uid() and Gid() methods. *syscall.Stat_t has Uid and Gid
fields, not methods, so the assertion never matched and every file,
directory and symlink was stored as 0:0; a restore as root then gave
everything to root. The scanner now reads the fields of
*syscall.Stat_t.

The first backup after this change re-reads every file not owned by
root, because its stored uid and gid no longer match the disk.

When the tests run as root, as in the Docker build, the new test
compares 0 with 0 and cannot catch the defect; a non-root run does.

Run the local index in WAL mode with a busy timeout (closes #217)
check / check (push) Successful in 5m10s
check / check (pull_request) Successful in 5m38s
c4adb72d80
The connection settings were passed as `_journal_mode=`-style
parameters, which the SQLite driver drops without an error, so the
index ran in rollback-journal mode with no busy timeout. `snapshot
list` or `info` reading during a backup could make the backup's next
write fail with "database is locked". Both open paths now pass
`_pragma=` parameters; foreign keys moved there too.

With WAL on, rows committed to the open index can still be in the
-wal file, which a copy of the main file misses. The metadata export
now copies the index with VACUUM INTO, into an empty 0600 file.

The retry after a failed open no longer claims a TRUNCATE recovery; it
retries with the same settings.

Linting and testing become the lint and test phases of the Dockerfile,
and the build stage depends on both. Dockerfile.lint, CHECK_EPOCH and
the tests that checked them are removed. Every docker build in script/
passes --no-cache, and script/cibuild runs script/bootstrap first. A
host without Go gets the go.mod version from script/install-go in
.tool/go, which bootstrap, the Makefile, fmt, fmt-check, precommit and
release add to PATH; fmt-check skips .tool. The image takes its version
from the VERSION build arg or git describe, dev without .git. This
repo's own entries follow the canonical content in .gitignore and
.editorconfig. The golangci-lint v2.14.0 findings are fixed. The rules
in CLAUDE.md move into AGENTS.md. IsDevVersion counts "unknown".

A blob that failed to download ended `snapshot restore` even with
--skip-errors, after restoring whichever files came first. The download
error now goes through the same per-file handling as any other restore
error, once for every pending file that references the blob. With
--skip-errors those files are reported as failed, the rest are
restored, and the command still exits non-zero. Without the flag the
restore still aborts; the error now also names one affected file and
suggests --skip-errors. A cancelled restore still ends at once. The
--skip-errors help text and README now limit the packing and storage
caveat to snapshot creation.

Load a config that has no age recipient (closes #221)
check / check (push) Successful in 13m47s
14fc4c9893
The README's steps for restoring on another machine failed at the first
command: `config init` wrote a placeholder recipient, and `config.Load`
rejects any recipient that does not parse. `config init` now writes an
empty `age_recipients` list, `config.Load` accepts an empty list, and
`snapshot create` refuses to start without a recipient. A malformed
recipient is still rejected at load.

The recovery-host test now builds its config with `config init` and
`config set` and reads it through `config.Load`, so it imports
`internal/cli`. On a fresh file, `config set age_recipients.0` writes the
list in flow style (`[age1...]`).

internal/cli/snapshot_restore_test.go imports github.com/spf13/pflag
directly, but go.mod still marked it // indirect. script/precommit runs
go mod tidy and fails when that changes go.mod, so the pre-commit hook

direct require block, and go.sum does not change. script/cibuild does
not run the tidy, which is why the gate stayed green.

A directory got its stored mode and mtime before its contents were
written, so a read-only directory came back without its files and a
non-empty one carried the time of the restore. Directories are now
created owner-only (0700) and get their stored owner, mode and mtime
after the restore loop, each before its parent, skipping any whose
place a symlink has since taken. A file's mode is now applied after its
chown, which on Linux clears setuid and setgid. A symlink gets its
stored owner (as root) and mtime on the link itself, through
golang.org/x/sys/unix, now a direct dependency.

An interrupted restore leaves its directories at 0700.

The S3 client built each key as prefix + key, and the URL parser keeps
the prefix as written, so s3://bucket/p stored p + "blobs/..." with no
slash while s3://bucket/p/ stored p/blobs/.... A recovery host that wrote
the URL the other way found no snapshots.

NewClient now strips trailing slashes from the prefix and adds one back
when anything is left, giving the README layout for both URL forms; an
empty prefix stays at the bucket root. The s3.prefix config setting
goes through the same client and gets the same join.

A new test writes through each URL shape against an in-process S3
server, checks the key in the bucket, and lists through both List and
ListStream, which every snapshot listing uses.

Restore cut chunk hashes from the snapshot database to 16 characters
for its error messages, so a shorter hash panicked. Those messages now
use shortHash. Under --verify, a file_chunks row with no chunks row was
dereferenced, and the chunk size from the database was allocated in
one piece, so a negative or huge size panicked. A missing row is now an
error, a negative size is rejected, and each chunk is hashed by
streaming it from the restored file.

A restored file shorter than its chunks now fails verify as a short
read instead of an unexpected EOF.

FileRepository.ListByPrefix matched with SQL LIKE: a plain string
prefix that ignores ASCII case and treats _ and % as wildcards.
Restoring /home/u/doc also restored doc2, DOC and doc.txt.bak, and a
backup counted the files of a longer sibling path as deleted. It is
now ListUnderPath, which returns the file at the path and every file
whose path starts with the path plus a slash, compared exactly. A
trailing slash is ignored, so "/" still lists every file.

Three tests relied on string-prefix matching and now name a full path
or call ListAll.

ListIDsWithChunksNotInUploadedBlobs keeps its LIKE: it only adds file
IDs the scan never looks up.

A backup without --cron of a snapshot with two or more paths panicked
with "close of closed channel". Scan runs once per path, and it started
the progress reporter and deferred its Stop each time; Stop closes the
reporter's signal channel, so the second path's Stop panicked.
scanAllDirectories now starts the reporter before the first path and
stops it after the last, and Scan no longer starts or stops it. A new
test backs up a two-path snapshot with the reporter on and restores
both paths.

The startup banner moves from stdout to stderr, so a `completion`
script, a `config get` value and the hidden `__complete` command print
only their own output. `--quiet`, `--cron` and `--json` still suppress
it.

A failing `remote info`, `prune` or `snapshot remove` under `--json`
now reports its error on stderr. Their reporters returned early under
`--json`, so the failure reached neither stream.

`snapshot verify --quiet` writes no report. A failure is still
returned and printed on stderr, with the same exit status.

Judgement call: the banner's stream, posted on the issue for the owner.

The scanner added a changed file's bytes again for each new chunk and
counted a file as unchanged for each chunk already stored. It now
counts files and bytes once, in the scan phase, and counts its own
uploads, so a --cron run, which has no progress reporter, records
them. The blob count no longer adds earlier paths' blobs again.

The snapshots row now stores the size of all files in total_size and
the referenced blobs' sizes in blob_size, blob_uncompressed_size and
compression_ratio, as docs/DATAMODEL.md says. Those sizes come from
one query, and a failed query fails the snapshot. DATAMODEL.md now
says chunk_count and blob_count count what the run added.

Removed UpdateSnapshotStats and GetCountBySnapshot, which nothing
calls any more.

When the destination store cannot be reached, `snapshot remove` still
removes the snapshot from the local index and warns. The warning went
through the UI, which writes to stdout, so under `--json` it landed
ahead of the document and `| jq` failed on a command that exited 0.
Under `--json` the UI warning is now skipped; the logger's warning on
stderr carries the follow-up, with the snapshot ID as a field.

The follow-up, in the warning, the README and the command's help, said
`vaultik prune` would finish the cleanup, but `prune` never removes
snapshot metadata. They now say to run `vaultik snapshot remove` for the
snapshot again once the destination store is reachable.

Acquire read vaultik.pid, checked whether that PID was alive, then
wrote its own, so two writers started together could both pass the
check and both run. The lock is now an flock on vaultik.pid, held
while the file stays open; the kernel drops it when the process exits,
so the stale-PID check is gone.

Release empties the file instead of deleting it. Deleting it would let
a process that opened the old file a moment earlier lock it while
another creates and locks a new one.

The new concurrent test fails against the old code only when the race
is hit, not on every run; against the fix it cannot admit two callers.

The files table held mtime in whole seconds and the scanner compared
whole seconds. A file rewritten with its size unchanged and a new mtime
in the same second as the indexed one was treated as unchanged, and
every later snapshot restored the old content. A new mtime_nsec column
now holds the nanoseconds within the second that mtime holds, and the
scanner compares the full mtime.

A local index created before this change lacks the column and is
rebuilt with `vaultik database delete` and a full backup. A snapshot
made before it cannot be restored by this version.

config set wrote every value as an unquoted YAML scalar, and config.Load
reads the file through untyped YAML, so an access key 00112233 loaded as
38043 and a hostname 007 as 7.

config set now looks the key up in config.Config by the fields' yaml
tags. A string setting is tagged !!str, which the encoder quotes
wherever YAML would read a number or a boolean. Other settings stay
unquoted, so compression_level 9 is still a number. A value that is not
valid UTF-8 stays untagged and is written as !!binary, which loads back
unchanged.

Judgement call: the type comes from reflection over config.Config.

When a manifest could not be read, remote info skipped it, counted that
snapshot's blobs as orphaned and advised running prune. The orphan
figures are now unknown in that case, with no prune advice; --json gives
them as null and lists the unreadable remote keys in
unreadable_manifests. Only a listed manifest.json.zst is read, so a
directory without one, as an interrupted backup leaves, keeps the
figures known.

Names under metadata/ were used unchecked and printed raw. A name that
is not a remote key is now skipped with a warning. A manifest under it
is not read either, so it also leaves the figures unknown; --json counts
such manifests in skipped_manifest_count.

A snapshot ID is hostname_name_timestamp, and purge took the name to be
everything between the first and the last underscore. With a hostname
such as my_host the name home came out as host_home, so
`snapshot purge --keep-latest --snapshot home` found nothing to delete
and `snapshot create --prune` purged nothing without a message. The name
is now read by removing the hostname stored with the snapshot, in the
short form the ID uses, so both may contain underscores. This was chosen
over rejecting underscores in `hostname` when the config loads, which
would also stop restores on such a host.

The purge consistency test stored a hostname that did not match its
snapshot IDs; it now matches, as it always does in production.

s3.part_size was loaded and defaulted but never reached the S3 client,
whose uploader used a fixed 10MiB part. The client now takes the part
size from the config, for storage_url and for the s3.* fields, and
config load rejects a value below 5MiB or above 5GiB, an explicit 0
included. A blob too large for S3's limit of 10,000 parts at that size
is uploaded in larger parts, since the uploader cannot learn the size of
the reader it is given. The docs gave the default as 5MB, which the
config file reads as 5,000,000 bytes, below the minimum; they now say
5MiB.

Judgement call: the 5GiB maximum is enforced along with the 5MiB
minimum the issue names.

The warning for a config file that others can read always said the
file contained S3 credentials, so a file:// config with none got a
false claim. When s3.access_key_id or s3.secret_access_key is set it
now says the file may contain them, because Load sees the values only
after smartconfig has replaced any ${...} reference, so a set
credential need not be in the file. Otherwise it says the file is

In the Dockerfile test phase, internal/vaultik spent 23.6s of 31.9s in
36 tests run one at a time. 24 of them were serial only because they
call log.Initialize; they now call it before t.Parallel(), so the
logger is replaced before any parallel test runs. The 12 still serial
change the umask, TMPDIR, os.Stderr or time.Local.

TestLargeDatasets took 8.4s of the 9.8s internal/database run by
committing each of its 1,500 inserts on its own; it now makes them in
one transaction. TestDedupOnlySnapshotRestores gives its second backup
its own snapshot name instead of sleeping 1.1s for a new snapshot ID.

A blob is written whole to a temporary file and uploaded once finished,
not streamed to storage. The README, ARCHITECTURE.md and
config.example.yml now say a backup needs free temporary space for each
blob (twice that for an rclone destination that cannot stream uploads)
and for the metadata export's copies of the local index, in $TMPDIR, or
partly in /var/tmp when TMPDIR is unset. Also corrected: the snapshot ID
format, what restore reads and how incomplete snapshots are removed in
docs/DATAMODEL.md, what source_path holds, the index_path default, the
config search order in the snapshot create help, what snapshot remove
cleans up in the prune help, how the release installs Go, and the
script/release and script/fmt-check comments.

Ctrl-C or SIGTERM during snapshot create, restore or verify exited 0
with no error line (1, also silent, under snapshot verify --json), so
an unfinished --cron backup looked like a success. RunOperation now
records whether op returned while the Vaultik context was still live;
a run where it had not by the time RunWithApp returned is interrupted,
whatever op returned. It used to look for context.Canceled in op's
error, which verify --json does not return. Entry prints "interrupted
before the command finished" on stderr for it and returns 130, under
--cron and --json too.

SIGTERM also gives 130, as the issue asks, not 143.
The test does not cover an op still running when the 30s shutdown
timeout ends.

The rclone backend wrote each object straight to its key, so killing an
upload to a local or sftp remote left a truncated object there that the
next backup trusted.

On every remote with a server-side move, an object is now written under
a name ending in `.partial` and moved onto its key with rclone's
operations.Move, which removes an object already at the key first;
drive, dropbox and others will not move onto one. Listings skip
`.partial` names. Rclone's own copy also requires the PartialUploads
flag; this does not, because hdfs shows a file while it is written
without setting it. Remotes without a move are written in place.

When readlink failed, the scanner logged at debug level and left the
symlink out of the snapshot, and the run reported success even without
--skip-errors. The error now goes through the same handling as any
other entry the walk cannot read: the run aborts, or with --skip-errors
the symlink is skipped with the usual "Failed to access" error line.

A symlink removed between the walk's lstat and the readlink also
aborts the run, as an entry that vanishes during the walk already does.

The timestamp in a snapshot ID is in whole seconds, so a `snapshot
create` that started in the same second as the previous run of that
snapshot name got the same ID, and inserting its row failed with
`UNIQUE constraint failed: snapshots.id`. CreateSnapshotWithName now
looks the ID up in the local index first and, if it is taken, waits a
second and takes a new timestamp. The ID format is unchanged.

Only the local index is checked. That is where the insert fails, and
the process lock serializes runs, so nothing takes the ID between the
lookup and the insert.

snapshot remove and prune delete without asking under --json, because a
prompt on stdout would break the JSON document. Their --json help and
README entries named only --force as skipping the prompt. Both now say
--json skips it too. One test checks the --json help of both commands;
another runs prune with --json, no --force and empty stdin, and checks
that the unreferenced blob is deleted and stdout holds only the JSON
document.

One progress reporter spans every path of a snapshot. Its counts of
files and bytes processed run across all the paths, while the totals
they were divided by were reset to each path's own, so a second path
smaller than the first showed more than 100% and an ETA of `unknown`.
The totals now add up over the paths scanned so far. The rate behind
the ETA restarts when each path's scan phase ends, so that phase does
not lower the rate while the path is processed; until then the rate is
the previous path's. SetTotalSize is renamed AddTotalSize because it
now adds.

The issue says the ETA went negative; it was computed negative and
printed as `unknown`.

When remote info could not read a snapshot's manifest, the orphan
figures were unknown but the snapshot's row still gave 0 blobs and 0 B,
in the table and in --json. The row's blob count and blob size are now
unknown, and null in --json.

A directory with no manifest, as an interrupted backup leaves, still
shows 0: the orphan figures count its blobs as orphaned, so it
references none.

The constant holding the "unknown" text is renamed from countUnknown to
unknownText, since it now also stands for a size.

A file that phase 1 of a backup counted and phase 2 could not open,
because it was unreadable under --skip-errors or removed in between,
was added to the unchanged count while its size stayed in
BytesScanned. The summary showed it as unchanged with its bytes backed
up, and the snapshots row's file_count and total_size included it.

The scanner now counts such a file in FilesFailed and takes its size
out of BytesScanned. The summary's files line adds "N failed", and
file_count leaves the file out.

A directory phase 2 cannot record is not counted as failed, since
phase 1 counts no directories; that case has no test.

Under --skip-errors, an error recording a directory or symlink in the
local index was skipped like an unreadable file. The snapshot completed
without the entry, and a restore did not recreate it.

processFileWithErrorHandling now records a directory or symlink itself
and returns any error, which stops the backup with or without the flag.
The skip sees only a regular file's errors, so countFailedFile no longer
checks for a directory.

The test injects the error with a SQLite trigger that refuses the
directory's files row.

The file and rclone listings skip an object whose name ends in
`.partial`, the temporary name a `file://` or rclone upload writes
before moving the object into place. `remote nuke` deletes only what
the listings return, so it left the `.partial` objects killed uploads
leave behind and still reported the destination store empty.

Storer gains DeletePartialUploads. The file and rclone backends remove
every `.partial` object under the prefix; S3 has none to remove, since
it shows an object only once its upload completes. `remote nuke` calls
it for `metadata/` and `blobs/` as its last step.

Empty directories under a `file://` destination are still left behind.

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.

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.

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.

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.

remote info counted every key under blobs/ with four or more path parts

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

patterns that start with **/.

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.

top level gives.

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.

`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.

since the issue asks that every command print a byte count the same way.

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.

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.

Restore planning stopped at the first file needing a chunk that no blob

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.

Shallow snapshot verify counted every error from checking a blob or the
encrypted database as "missing" and printed the error nowhere, so a
permission error or an S3 403 read as data loss. Now only a not-found
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.

The SDK paginator takes a listing page marked truncated but carrying no

server answering V2 listings V1-style sends such pages, so ListObjects
and ListObjectsStream returned the first page as the whole listing, and
prune treated the blobs of the snapshots on later pages as unreferenced.
Both now fetch each page through nextListPage, which returns
ErrNoContinuationToken for such a page; prune, snapshot list and remote
nuke already handle a listing error.

The test serves a fixed reply from a stub server, since gofakes3 always
sends the token.

prune, and the prune step of snapshot create --prune, counted a blob
it could not delete and still exited 0. It now prints its summary or
--json document and then returns an error, which replaces the
"Failed to delete N blob(s)" line.

remote nuke only warned when a snapshot's metadata could not be
deleted, advised vaultik prune, which never removes metadata, and then
reported the store empty. It now stops with an error, does not report
the store empty, and says to run vaultik remote nuke --force again. It
checks that the local index belongs to the configured destination
before deleting anything, and that error carries no such advice. A
successful nuke no longer advises prune.

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.

WithReadTx ended the process when its rollback failed, including after
Ctrl-C, when database/sql has already rolled back and Rollback returns
sql.ErrTxDone; it now handles the rollback as WithTx does. The query
functions ended the process when closing their rows failed; they now
leave the deferred close alone, since database/sql reports a close
failure through rows.Err(), which each returns. The unused
database.Fatalf is removed. cleanupBlobTempFile now returns its close or
remove failure, which fails the backup.

No test makes a rows close fail: SQLite fails it only with the error the

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.

Judgement call: the test adds a recipient rather than changing the
compression level, because an extra age recipient always makes the
local copy larger, while two zstd levels need not compress the test
data differently.

With --skip-errors, a file that failed to restore was verified anyway,
failed again because it was never written, and was added to the same
failure list as the restore failure. restore --verify then listed it
twice and called every entry a checksum mismatch.

Verification now skips the files that failed to restore and keeps its
own failures in a separate list, so failed restores and failed
verifications are reported apart, each path once. The restore still
exits non-zero. The tests cover a restore with skipped files where
nothing fails verification, and one where another restored file also
fails it.

it and rewritten when the file changes, so backing up a changed file
changed every older snapshot's UNCOMPRESSED SIZE.

reads the column, as it already does for new_chunk_size.

Each `go mod download` in the Dockerfile now runs under a five-minute
time limit and is tried up to three times. Without a limit, a stalled
connection to the module proxy held the step, and every build on the
host sharing it, until the kernel dropped the connection. Five minutes
is well above the three minutes a working download can take on a busy
build host. When all three attempts fail, the step prints "module
download failed" and exits 1, so the build stops there instead of
failing as a test or lint failure. A test checks every download step
for the limit, the retries, the message and the final `exit 1`.

Deep verify set verified only on success and never set missing, so a

whose contents pass, and its existence check covers every blob, counting
not-found ones as missing and wrong-size ones as mismatched, as shallow
verify does; it fails if it found any. Any other storage error stops the
check and fails with that error, so a blob that cannot be checked is
never reported as missing.

Deep verify still stops at the first damaged blob and reads no contents
while any blob is missing or the wrong size, so verified is 0 there.

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.

Judgement call: a symlink loop is not detected; it is followed until the
system refuses the path, and the listing fails.

missing key is now created as a list when the next path element is 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`,
decodes config data, filling in references, without validating.

remote nuke deleted only the snapshot metadata and blobs the snapshot

was never uploaded, and any name under blobs/ that is not a blob hash,
survived while nuke reported the store empty.

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
listing afterwards decides the result: nuke reports the store empty
only when it finds nothing, and otherwise names each object left and
fails.

snapshot restore said nothing about a requested path that matched no

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.

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.

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.

Judgement call: s3.part_size keeps its 5MiB to 5GiB bounds, which are
S3's own limits, and MiB and GiB stay listed as accepted spellings.

The glob library needs a slash on both sides of **, so the anchored
pattern /**/x missed an x directly under the snapshot path, and
a/**/*.log missed a/x.log. As in gitignore, a leading **/ now makes any
pattern, anchored or not, match at every depth, and a pattern holding
/**/ is also compiled with each /**/ made a single slash. The library's
{a,b} alternatives cannot express this: with ** inside them in
mid-pattern they miss paths they should match.

Judgement call: the test for a/**/b uses a/**/*.log, because with a
plain name after the ** the glob library already matched a/b.

An rclone destination whose remote is defined only in the file
RCLONE_CONFIG names was reported as not found: rclone reads that
variable only as the value of its --config flag, which vaultik does not
have, so vaultik always used rclone's default config file.
NewRcloneStorer now sets rclone's config path from RCLONE_CONFIG when
the variable is set, as that flag would, including an empty value,
which rclone takes to mean no config file.

PruneBlobs, CleanupLocalSnapshots, RemoveSnapshot, RemoveAllSnapshots
and snapshot purge wrote their status lines straight to stdout, so
`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.

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
requirement in go.mod.

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.

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
read as incomplete or orphaned rows left over: removing the only
incomplete snapshot printed "1 removed (1 remain)". Each line now
labels that figure as the total of its kind left in the local index.

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.

config edit used the whole of $EDITOR as the program name, so a value
with arguments such as "code --wait" or "emacsclient -t" failed with
"executable file not found". It now runs $EDITOR the way git does:
sh -c '<editor> "$@"' with the config path as a separate argument, so
the editor's own arguments and quoting work and a path with spaces
reaches it whole. A test runs config edit with an $EDITOR carrying an
argument on a config path that contains a space.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

`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.

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.

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.

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.
