The manager handles orchestration (validation, audit log, execution). - -### Registry & Wire Methods - -`core/src/ops/registry.rs` provides macros that register actions and queries using the `inventory` crate. - -- Library actions use: - - ```rust - crate::register_library_action!(MyAction, "group.operation"); - ``` - - This generates: - - - A wire method on the input type: `action:group.operation.input.v1` - - An inventory `ActionEntry` bound to `handle_library_action::` - -- Queries use `register_query!(QueryType, "group.name");` - -Naming convention for wire methods: - -- `action:.input.v1` for action inputs -- `query:.v1` for queries - -The daemon/API can route calls by these method strings to decode inputs and trigger the right handler. - -### ActionManager Flow (Library Actions) - -`ActionManager::dispatch_library(library_id, action)`: - -1. Loads and validates the library (ensures it exists) -2. Calls `action.validate(&library, context)` (optional) -3. Creates an audit log entry -4. Executes `action.execute(library, context)` -5. Finalizes the audit log with success/failure - -For `CoreAction`, `dispatch_core(action)` follows a similar path without a library. - -### Domain Paths: `SdPath` and `SdPathBatch` - -Actions operate on Spacedrive domain paths, not raw filesystem strings: - -- `SdPath` — can be a `Physical { device_id, path }` or `Content { content_id }`. `SdPath::local(path)` creates a physical path on the current device. -- `SdPathBatch` — a simple wrapper: `struct SdPathBatch { pub paths: Vec }` - -Guidelines: - -- Prefer `SdPath` in action inputs/outputs rather than `PathBuf` -- For multi-path inputs, use `SdPathBatch` -- When you need a local path at execution time, use helpers like `as_local_path()` - -Example (from Files Copy): - -```rust -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub struct FileCopyAction { - pub sources: SdPathBatch, - pub destination: SdPath, - pub options: CopyOptions, -} - -impl LibraryAction for FileCopyAction { /* ... */ } -``` - -### Inputs and Builders - -Actions often define an explicit `Input` type for the wire contract and a small builder or convenience API to create well-formed actions from CLI/REST/GraphQL translators. Example: `FileCopyInput` maps CLI flags into a `CopyOptions` plus `SdPath`/`SdPathBatch` and conversions happen in `from_input`. - -Validation layers: - -- Syntactic/cheap validation in `Input::validate()` (returning a vector of errors) -- Action-level `validate(...)` invoked by the manager before `execute` - -### Job Dispatch & Outputs - -For long-running operations (copy, delete, indexing), actions typically create and dispatch a job via the library job manager, returning a `JobHandle` as the action output. Example: - -```rust -let job = FileCopyJob::new(self.sources, self.destination).with_options(self.options); -let job_handle = library.jobs().dispatch(job).await?; -Ok(job_handle) -``` - -Progress and completion events are emitted on the `EventBus` (`Event::JobProgress`, `Event::JobCompleted`, etc.). - -### Current Registered Operations - -Discovered via registry: - -- Library actions (registered): - - - `files.copy` - - `files.delete` - - `files.duplicate_detection` - - `files.validation` - - `indexing.start` - -- Queries (registered): - - `core.status` - - `libraries.list` - -Implemented but not yet registered (present `impl LibraryAction` without `register_library_action!`): - -- `locations.add`, `locations.remove`, `locations.rescan` -- `libraries.export`, `libraries.rename` -- `volumes.track`, `volumes.untrack`, `volumes.speed_test` -- `media.thumbnail` - -Implemented `CoreAction` (not yet registered via a core registration macro): - -- `library.create`, `library.delete` - -> Note: Core action registration would use a `register_core_action!` macro similar to library actions. The registry contains such a macro, but it is not yet invoked for these actions. - -### Authoring a New Library Action (Checklist) - -1. Define your wire `Input` type: - - ```rust - #[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] - pub struct MyOpInput { /* fields using SdPath / SdPathBatch / options */ } - ``` - -2. Define your action struct and implement `LibraryAction`: - - ```rust - #[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] - pub struct MyOpAction { input: MyOpInput } - - impl LibraryAction for MyOpAction { - type Input = MyOpInput; - type Output = /* domain type or JobHandle */; - - fn from_input(input: MyOpInput) -> Result { Ok(Self { input }) } - - async fn validate(&self, _lib: &Arc, _ctx: Arc) -> Result<(), ActionError> { - // cheap checks; return ActionError::Validation { field, message } on invalid - Ok(()) - } - - async fn execute(self, library: Arc, ctx: Arc) -> Result { - // do the work or dispatch a job - Ok(/* output */) - } - - fn action_kind(&self) -> &'static str { "group.operation" } - } - ``` - -3. Register the action: - - ```rust - crate::register_library_action!(MyOpAction, "group.operation"); - // Wire method will be: action:group.operation.input.v1 - ``` - -4. Ensure inputs use `SdPath`/`SdPathBatch` appropriately. For multiple paths: - - ```rust - let batch = SdPathBatch::new(vec![SdPath::local("/path/a"), SdPath::local("/path/b")]); - ``` - -5. Prefer returning native domain outputs or `JobHandle` for long-running tasks. - -6. Emit appropriate `EventBus` events from jobs for progress UX. - -### Conventions & Tips - -- `action_kind()` should match your domain naming (`"files.copy"`, `"volumes.track"`, etc.) -- Keep builders thin; ensure `from_input()` is the canonical wire adapter -- Put expensive I/O in the `execute` or in jobs, not in validation -- Use `ActionError::Validation { field, message }` for user-facing errors -- When interacting with the filesystem, always resolve/check local paths via `SdPath::as_local_path()` - -### Minimal Example - -```rust -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub struct ExampleInput { pub targets: SdPathBatch } - -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub struct ExampleAction { input: ExampleInput } - -impl LibraryAction for ExampleAction { - type Input = ExampleInput; - type Output = JobHandle; - - fn from_input(input: ExampleInput) -> Result { Ok(Self { input }) } - - async fn validate(&self, _lib: &Arc, _ctx: Arc) -> Result<(), ActionError> { - if self.input.targets.paths.is_empty() { - return Err(ActionError::Validation { field: "targets".into(), message: "At least one target required".into() }); - } - Ok(()) - } - - async fn execute(self, library: Arc, _ctx: Arc) -> Result { - let job = /* build job from self.input */; - let handle = library.jobs().dispatch(job).await?; - Ok(handle) - } - - fn action_kind(&self) -> &'static str { "example.run" } -} - -crate::register_library_action!(ExampleAction, "example.run"); -``` - ---- - -This guide reflects the current state of the action system. As we register additional actions (locations, volumes, media thumbnailing, library core actions), follow the same patterns for naming, inputs, validation, and registration. diff --git a/docs/core/design/ACTIONS_REFACTOR.md b/docs/core/design/ACTIONS_REFACTOR.md deleted file mode 100644 index 11045c053..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/ACTIONS_REFACTOR.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,109 +0,0 @@ -# CLI Daemon Actions Refactoring Design Document - -## Overview - -This document outlines the plan to refactor CLI daemon handlers to properly use the action system for all state-mutating operations, while keeping read-only operations as direct queries. - -## Principles - -1. **Actions for State Mutations**: Any operation that modifies state (database, filesystem, job state) should go through the action system -2. **Direct Queries for Reads**: Read-only operations should remain as direct database queries or service calls -3. **Consistency**: Similar operations should follow similar patterns -4. **Audit Trail**: Actions provide built-in audit logging for all mutations - -## Current State Analysis - -### Operations Currently Using Actions - -- `LocationAdd` - Uses `LocationAddAction` -- `LocationRemove` - Uses `LocationRemoveAction` -- `Copy` - Uses `FileCopyAction` - -### Operations That Should Use Actions - -#### Indexing Operations - -- `IndexLocation` - Re-indexes an existing location -- `IndexAll` - Indexes all locations in a library - -**Can use existing actions:** - -- `IndexLocation` → Use existing `LocationIndexAction` -- `IndexAll` → Could create a new `LibraryIndexAllAction` or dispatch multiple `LocationIndexAction`s - -### Operations That Should NOT Use Actions - -These are read-only operations or ephemeral operations: - -- `Browse` - Just reads filesystem without persisting -- `QuickScan` with `ephemeral: true` - Temporary scan, no persistence -- All List operations (`ListLibraries`, `ListLocations`, `ListJobs`) -- All Get operations (`GetJobInfo`, `GetCurrentLibrary`, `GetStatus`) -- `Ping` - Simple health check - -### Operations to Remove ️ - -- `IndexPath` - Redundant with location-based indexing -- `QuickScan` with `ephemeral: false` - Should just use location add + index - -## Implementation Plan - -### Phase 1: Update File Handler - -1.

Proposed Design: Enhanced CQRS API - -The design enhances the existing action system by adding formal query operations and a unified API surface, following the **CQRS** pattern for absolute clarity between reads and writes. - -### 3.1. Modular Command System (for Writes/Mutations) - -The existing action system provides excellent foundations, but suffers from a centralized `ActionOutput` enum that breaks modularity. We'll implement a truly modular approach inspired by the successful Job system architecture. - -**Key Insight**: The Job system already does this right - each job defines its own output type (`ThumbnailOutput`, `IndexerOutput`) and implements `Into` only when needed for serialization. - -- **Modular Command Trait**: - - ```rust - /// A command that mutates system state with modular output types. - pub trait Command { - /// The output after the command succeeds (owned by the operation module). - type Output: Send + Sync + 'static; - - /// Execute this command directly, returning its native output type. - async fn execute(self, context: Arc) -> Result; - } - ``` - -- **Direct Execution (No Central Enum)**: - - ```rust - /// Execute any command directly through ActionManager, preserving type safety. - pub async fn execute_command( - command: C, - context: Arc, - ) -> Result { - // Direct execution - no ActionOutput enum conversion! - command.execute(context).await - } - ``` - -- **Zero Boilerplate Implementation**: - - ```rust - // Existing action struct in: core/src/ops/libraries/create/action.rs - impl Command for LibraryCreateAction { - type Output = LibraryCreateOutput; // Owned by this module! - - async fn execute(self, context: Arc) -> Result { - // Delegate to existing ActionManager for audit logging, validation, etc. - let library_manager = &context.library_manager; - let library = library_manager.create_library(self.name, self.path, context).await?; - - // Return native output type directly - Ok(LibraryCreateOutput::new( - library.id(), - library.name().await, - library.path().to_path_buf(), - )) - } - } - ``` - -- **Optional Serialization Layer**: - - For cases requiring type erasure (daemon IPC, GraphQL), provide optional conversion: - - ```rust - // Only implement when serialization is needed - impl From for SerializableOutput { - fn from(output: LibraryCreateOutput) -> Self { - SerializableOutput::LibraryCreate(output) - } - } - ``` - -### 3.2. New Query System (for Reads) - -This is the major addition - a formal system for read-only operations that mirrors the design and benefits of the existing `ActionManager`. It will be the single entry point for all read operations, allowing us to implement cross-cutting concerns like validation, permissions, and logging for every query in the system. - -- **Query Trait**: - - ```rust - /// A request that retrieves data without mutating state. - pub trait Query { - /// The data structure returned by the query. - type Output; - } - ``` - -- **QueryHandler Trait**: - - ```rust - /// Any struct that knows how to resolve a query will implement this trait. - pub trait QueryHandler { - /// Validates the query input and checks permissions. - async fn validate(&self, core: &Core, query: &Q) -> Result<()>; - - /// Executes the query and returns the result. - async fn execute(&self, core: &Core, query: Q) -> Result; - } - ``` - -- **QueryManager**: - - The `QueryManager` will use a registry to look up the correct `QueryHandler` for any given `Query` struct. Its `dispatch` method will orchestrate the entire process. - - ```rust - pub struct QueryManager { - registry: QueryRegistry, // Maps Query types to their handlers - } - - impl QueryManager { - pub async fn dispatch(&self, core: &Core, query: Q) -> Result { - // 1. Look up the handler for this specific query type. - let handler = self.registry.get_handler_for::()?; - - // 2. Run validation and permission checks. - handler.validate(core, &query).await?; - - // 3. (Optional) Add audit logging for the read operation. - // log::info!("User X is querying Y..."); - - // 4. Execute the query. - handler.execute(core, query).await - } - } - ``` - -### 3.3. Enhanced Core Interface - -The `Core` engine exposes a unified API that delegates to the appropriate systems, keeping the `Core` itself clean. - -```rust -// In: core/src/lib.rs -impl Core { - /// Execute a command using the enhanced CQRS API. - pub async fn execute_command(&self, command: C) -> Result { - execute_command(command, self.context.clone()).await - } - - /// Execute a query using the enhanced CQRS API. - pub async fn execute_query(&self, query: Q) -> Result { - query.execute(self.context.clone()).await - } -} -``` - ---- - -## 4\. Client Integration Strategy - -The strategy focuses on **decoupling the CLI from the daemon** while preserving the existing, working action infrastructure. - -### 4.1. CLI Refactoring Strategy - -The **CLI** should be refactored to use the Core API directly instead of going through the daemon for most operations. The daemon becomes optional infrastructure for background services. - -**Current Architecture:** - -``` -CLI → DaemonCommand → Daemon → ActionManager → Action Handlers -``` - -**Target Architecture:** - -``` -CLI → Core API (execute_action/execute_query) → Action/Query Handlers -Daemon → Core API (same interface, used for background services) -``` - -- **Migration Approach:** - - ```rust - // CURRENT: CLI sends commands to daemon - let command = DaemonCommand::CreateLibrary { name: "Photos".to_string() }; - daemon_client.send_command(command).await?; - - // TARGET: CLI uses Core API directly - let command = LibraryCreateAction { name: "Photos".to_string(), path: None }; - let result = core.execute_command(command).await?; - println!("Library created with ID: {}", result.library_id); - ``` - -### 4.2. Daemon Role Evolution - -The **daemon** evolves from a command processor to a **background service coordinator**. Most CLI operations will bypass the daemon entirely. - -**New Daemon Responsibilities:** - -1. **Background Services:** Long-running operations (indexing, file watching, networking) -2. **Multi-Client Coordination:** When multiple clients need to share state -3. **Resource Management:** Managing expensive resources (database connections, file locks) -4. **Optional IPC:** For GUI clients that prefer daemon-mediated access - -**Simplified Daemon Logic:** - -```rust -// Daemon becomes a thin wrapper around Core -impl DaemonHandler { - async fn handle_request(&self, request: DaemonRequest) -> DaemonResponse { - match request { - DaemonRequest::Command(command) => { - let result = self.core.execute_command(command).await; - DaemonResponse::CommandResult(result) - } - DaemonRequest::Query(query) => { - let result = self.core.execute_query(query).await; - DaemonResponse::QueryResult(result) - } - } - } -} -``` - -### 4.3. GraphQL Server Integration - -The **GraphQL server** is a new, first-class client of the `Core` engine. The CQRS model maps perfectly to its structure. - -- **GraphQL Queries**: Resolvers will construct and execute `Query` structs via `core.execute_query()`. -- **GraphQL Mutations**: Resolvers will construct and execute `Command` structs via `core.execute_command()`. - -This allows the GraphQL layer to be a flexible composer of modular backend operations without needing any special logic or "god object" queries in the `Core`. - -**Example GraphQL Resolvers:** - -```rust -// In: apps/graphql/src/resolvers.rs - -// Query resolver -async fn resolve_objects(core: &Core, parent_id: Uuid) -> Result> { - let query = GetDirectoryContentsQuery { - parent_id: Some(parent_id), - // ... other options - }; - core.execute_query(query).await -} - -// Mutation resolver -async fn create_library(core: &Core, name: String, path: Option) -> Result { - let command = LibraryCreateAction { name, path }; - core.execute_command(command).await -} -``` - ---- - -## 5\. Benefits of this Enhanced Design - -- **Preserves Existing Investment:** Builds upon the excellent existing action system rather than replacing it -- **True Modularity:** Each operation owns its output type completely - no central enum dependencies -- **Zero Boilerplate:** Single `execute()` method per command - no conversion functions needed -- **Adds Missing Functionality:** Introduces formal query operations that were previously ad-hoc -- **Reduces CLI-Daemon Coupling:** CLI can work directly with Core API, making daemon optional -- **Maintains All Benefits:** Preserves audit logging, validation, error handling from existing ActionManager -- **Type-Safe Query System:** Brings the same type safety to read operations that actions already have -- **Unified API Surface:** Single entry point (`execute_command`/`execute_query`) for all clients -- **Backward Compatibility:** Existing code continues to work unchanged during migration -- **Performance:** Direct type returns - no JSON serialization round-trips -- **Consistency:** Matches the successful Job system pattern - -# Revised Implementation Plan - -## **Phase 1: Add CQRS Traits (Zero Risk)** - -Add the trait definitions that will work alongside the existing action system, without changing any existing code. - -1. **Define the Enhanced Modular Traits:** - - ```rust - // core/src/cqrs.rs - use anyhow::Result; - use std::sync::Arc; - use crate::context::CoreContext; - - /// Modular command trait - no central enum dependencies - pub trait Command { - type Output: Send + Sync + 'static; - - /// Execute this command directly, returning native output type - async fn execute(self, context: Arc) -> Result; - } - - /// Generic execution function - simple passthrough - pub async fn execute_command( - command: C, - context: Arc, - ) -> Result { - // Direct execution - no ActionOutput enum conversion! - command.execute(context).await - } - - /// New query trait for read operations - pub trait Query { - type Output: Send + Sync + 'static; - - /// Execute this query - async fn execute(self, context: Arc) -> Result; - } - ``` - -2. **Add Core API Methods:** - - ```rust - // core/src/lib.rs - add to existing Core impl - impl Core { - /// Execute command using new trait (delegates to existing ActionManager) - pub async fn execute_command(&self, command: C) -> Result { - execute_command(command, self.context.clone()).await - } - - /// Execute query using new system - pub async fn execute_query(&self, query: Q) -> Result { - query.execute(self.context.clone()).await - } - } - ``` - -**Outcome:** New API exists alongside current system. Zero breaking changes. - ---- - -## **Phase 2: Implement Modular Command Trait (Low Risk)** - -Implement the modular Command trait for existing LibraryCreateAction with zero boilerplate. - -1. **Implement Modular Command Trait:** - - ```rust - // core/src/ops/libraries/create/action.rs - add to existing file - use crate::cqrs::Command; - - impl Command for LibraryCreateAction { - type Output = LibraryCreateOutput; // Native output type - no enum! - - async fn execute(self, context: Arc) -> Result { - // Delegate to existing business logic while preserving audit logging - let library_manager = &context.library_manager; - let library = library_manager.create_library(self.name, self.path, context).await?; - - // Return native output directly - no ActionOutput conversion! - Ok(LibraryCreateOutput::new( - library.id(), - library.name().await, - library.path().to_path_buf(), - )) - } - } - ``` - -2. **Test the Integration:** - - ```rust - // Test both paths work - let command = LibraryCreateAction { name: "Test".to_string(), path: None }; - - // Old way (still works through ActionManager) - let action = crate::infra::action::Action::LibraryCreate(command.clone()); - let old_result = action_manager.dispatch(action).await?; - - // New way (direct, type-safe, zero boilerplate) - let new_result: LibraryCreateOutput = core.execute_command(command).await?; - ``` - -**Outcome:** LibraryCreateAction works through both old and new APIs with zero boilerplate and true modularity. - ---- - -## **Phase 3: Create Query System (Medium Risk)** - -Add the first query operations to demonstrate the read-only system. - -1. **Create First Query:** - - ```rust - // core/src/ops/libraries/list/query.rs (new file) - use crate::cqrs::Query; - - pub struct ListLibrariesQuery { - pub include_stats: bool, - } - - pub struct LibraryInfo { - pub id: Uuid, - pub name: String, - pub path: PathBuf, - pub stats: Option, - } - - impl Query for ListLibrariesQuery { - type Output = Vec; - - async fn execute(self, context: Arc) -> Result { - let libraries = context.library_manager.list().await; - let mut result = Vec::new(); - - for lib in libraries { - let stats = if self.include_stats { - Some(lib.get_stats().await?) - } else { - None - }; - - result.push(LibraryInfo { - id: lib.id(), - name: lib.name().await, - path: lib.path().to_path_buf(), - stats, - }); - } - - Ok(result) - } - } - ``` - -**Outcome:** Query system exists and can be used alongside actions. - ---- - -## **Phase 4: CLI Direct Integration (High Value)** - -Refactor CLI to use Core API directly, reducing daemon dependency. - -1. **CLI Architecture Change:** - - ```rust - // Current: CLI → Daemon → Core - // Target: CLI → Core (daemon optional) - - // apps/cli/src/main.rs (conceptual) - pub async fn run_cli() -> Result<()> { - // Initialize Core directly in CLI - let core = Core::new_with_config(data_dir).await?; - - match cli_args.command { - Command::CreateLibrary { name } => { - let command = LibraryCreateAction { name, path: None }; - let result = core.execute_command(command).await?; - println!("Created library: {}", result.library_id); - } - Command::ListLibraries => { - let query = ListLibrariesQuery { include_stats: true }; - let libraries = core.execute_query(query).await?; - display_libraries(libraries); - } - } - } - ``` - -2. **Gradual Migration:** - - Start with read-only commands (list, status, info) - - Move to simple actions (create, rename) - - Keep complex operations daemon-mediated initially - -**Outcome:** CLI becomes independent, daemon becomes optional infrastructure. - ---- - -## **Phase 5: Complete Query System & GraphQL** - -Finish the query system and build GraphQL server as proof of unified API. - -1. **Complete Query Coverage:** - - - File browsing queries - - Search queries - - Status/info queries - - Statistics queries - -2. **GraphQL Server:** - - Uses same `execute_command`/`execute_query` interface - - Demonstrates API consistency across clients - - Provides web-friendly interface - -**Outcome:** Full CQRS API with multiple client types proving the design. - ---- - -## **Implementation Status** - -### **Completed: Phases 1 & 2** - -**Phase 1: CQRS Traits (Complete)** - -- Added `Command` trait with minimal boilerplate (only 2 methods required) -- Added `Query` trait for read operations -- Created generic `execute_command()` function that handles all ActionManager integration -- Added unified Core API methods: `execute_command()` and `execute_query()` -- Zero breaking changes - existing code continues to work - -**Phase 2: Command Implementation (Complete)** - -- Implemented `Command` trait for `LibraryCreateAction` -- Verified both old and new API paths work correctly -- All existing ActionManager benefits preserved (audit logging, validation, error handling) - -### **Next Steps: Phases 3-5** - -The foundation is solid and ready for: - -- **Phase 3:** Query system implementation -- **Phase 4:** CLI direct integration -- **Phase 5:** Complete query coverage and GraphQL server - -### **Key Improvements Made** - -1. **True Modularity:** Each operation owns its output type - no central enum dependencies -2. **Zero Boilerplate:** Single `execute()` method per command - no conversion functions -3. **Performance:** Direct type returns - no JSON serialization round-trips -4. **Clear Naming:** `Command` trait avoids confusion with existing `Action` enum -5. **Type Safety:** Native output types throughout - no enum pattern matching -6. **Consistency:** Matches the successful Job system architecture pattern diff --git a/docs/core/design/API_INFRASTRUCTURE_REORGANIZATION.md b/docs/core/design/API_INFRASTRUCTURE_REORGANIZATION.md deleted file mode 100644 index 8ea1f7cf3..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/API_INFRASTRUCTURE_REORGANIZATION.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,708 +0,0 @@ -# API Infrastructure Reorganization - -**Status**: RFC / Design Document -**Author**: AI Assistant with James Pine -**Date**: 2025-01-07 -**Version**: 1.0 - -## Executive Summary - -This document proposes a reorganization of Spacedrive's API infrastructure to improve code organization, discoverability, and maintainability.

Registry/Type System in Wrong Layer - -**Problem**: `registry.rs` and `type_extraction.rs` live in `src/ops/` but are infrastructure concerns: - -- **Registry System**: Orchestrates the wire protocol, maps method strings to handlers, manages compile-time registration via `inventory` crate -- **Type Extraction**: Generates client types using Specta, builds API metadata for code generation -- **These are NOT business logic** - they're plumbing that connects clients to operations - -**Current Confusion**: -``` -src/ops/ -├── registry.rs # Infrastructure: wire protocol -├── type_extraction.rs # Infrastructure: code generation -├── api_types.rs # Infrastructure: type wrappers -└── files/ - └── copy/ - └── action.rs # Business logic: copy operation -``` - -The registry and type extraction files are in `ops/` alongside business logic, but they're fundamentally different in nature. - -## Architecture Overview - -### The Wire Protocol System - -Our system has a sophisticated wire protocol for client-daemon communication: - -``` -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Client Application (CLI, Swift, GraphQL) │ -│ • Uses Wire trait with METHOD constant │ -│ • Serializes input to JSON │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - ↓ Unix Socket -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Daemon RPC Server (infra/daemon/rpc.rs) │ -│ • Receives DaemonRequest { method, library_id, payload } │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - ↓ -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Registry Lookup (ops/registry.rs) │ -│ • LIBRARY_QUERIES map: method → handler function │ -│ • LIBRARY_ACTIONS map: method → handler function │ -│ • Uses inventory crate for compile-time registration │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - ↓ -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Handler Function (handle_library_query) │ -│ • Deserializes payload to Q::Input │ -│ • Creates ApiDispatcher │ -│ • Calls execute_library_query:: │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - ↓ -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ API Dispatcher (infra/api/dispatcher.rs) │ -│ • Session validation │ -│ • Permission checks │ -│ • Library lookup │ -│ • Calls Q::execute() │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - ↓ -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Business Logic (ops/files/query/directory_listing.rs) │ -│ • Actual query implementation │ -│ • Returns Output │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ -``` - -### Type Generation System - -We use Specta to generate client types automatically: - -```rust -// Registration macro implements Wire trait and submits to inventory -crate::register_library_query!(DirectoryListingQuery, "files.directory_listing"); - -// This generates: -// 1.

Clear Semantic Grouping - -- **`infra/action/`**: Everything about state-changing operations -- **`infra/query/`**: Everything about read operations -- **`infra/wire/`**: Everything about the wire protocol and type system - -Each directory has a clear, single responsibility. - -#### 2. Action/Query Symmetry - -``` -infra/ -├── action/ # Commands - state changes -└── query/ # Queries - reads -``` - -Both are peers at the same level, making their relationship obvious. They're both infrastructure traits that operations implement. - -#### 3.

If you're working on business logic, you're in `ops/`. If you're working on infrastructure, you're in `infra/`. - -#### 4. Improved Discoverability - -New contributors can easily understand: -- "Where do I find query-related infrastructure?" → `infra/query/` -- "Where do I find action-related infrastructure?" → `infra/action/` -- "Where's the wire protocol stuff?" → `infra/wire/` -- "Where do I add a new file copy feature?" → `ops/files/copy/` - -#### 5. Better Naming - -- `cqrs.rs` - Misleading, suggests complete CQRS implementation -- `infra/query/` - Clear, accurate, matches `action/` - -### Design Principles Applied - -1. **Co-location**: Related code should live together -2. **Symmetry**: Counterparts should be at the same level (action/query) -3. **Clear Boundaries**: Infrastructure vs business logic -4. **Single Responsibility**: Each directory has one clear purpose -5. **Discoverability**: Easy to find what you're looking for - -## Migration Plan - -### Phase 1: Create New Structure - -1.

Sizes and durations configurable. - - Output example layout: - - `benchdata//` containing multiple test `Locations` (e.g., `small/`, `mixed/`, `media/`, `large/`). - -2. **Scripted Real-World Corpora (optional add-ons)** - - Fetchers that download well-known public datasets (e.g., Linux kernel source snapshot, Gutenberg text subset, a small OpenImages sample). Not run in CI by default. All licensing respected and documented. - -Benchmark Recipe (YAML) — example: - -```yaml -name: mixed_nvme_default -seed: 42 -locations: - - path: benchdata/mixed - structure: - depth: 4 - fanout_per_dir: 12 - files: - total: 500_000 - size_buckets: - tiny: { range: [0, 1_024], share: 0.25 } - small: { range: [1_024, 64_000], share: 0.35 } - medium: { range: [64_000, 5_000_000], share: 0.30 } - large: { range: [5_000_000, 200_000_000], share: 0.09 } - huge: { range: [200_000_000, 2_000_000_000], share: 0.01 } - duplicate_ratio: 0.05 - media_ratio: 0.10 - extensions: [txt, rs, jpg, png, mp4, pdf, docx, zip] -media: - generate_thumbnails: false - synthetic_video: { enabled: true, duration_s: 5, width: 1280, height: 720 } -``` - -You (James) can build and curate a set of canonical recipes for different storage types. The generator will create those datasets locally; remote datasets can be mirrored to providers (S3 bucket, NAS share) using companion scripts. - ---- - -### 5) Benchmark Harness Architecture - -- **New workspace member**: `benchmarks/` (Rust crate) providing a CLI `sd-bench` with subcommands: - - - `mkdata` — generate datasets from recipe YAML - - `run` — execute a benchmark scenario and collect results - - `report` — aggregate and render markdown/CSV from JSON results - -- **Runner (`sd-bench run`)** - - - Scenarios: `indexing-discovery`, `indexing-content-id`, `indexing-full`, `search`, `db-ingest`, `p2p-transfer`, `remote-indexing` (s3/gdrive/ftp/sftp/webdav) - - Options: `--recipe `, `--location ...`, `--runs 10`, `--cold-cache on|off`, `--persist on|off`, `--concurrency N`, `--features media,semantic`, `--phases discovery,content,media` - - Output: NDJSON and summary JSON written to `benchmarks/results/_.json` - - Captures environment metadata automatically - -- **Integration with Spacedrive Core** - - Use existing CLI/daemon where possible to avoid special code paths. Prefer programmatic invocation (library API) when we need precise phase toggles and counters. - - Expose a stable “benchmark mode” in the indexing pipeline that: - - Enables per-phase counters and timers (files_discovered, files_hashed, bytes_read_actual, entries_persisted, db_txn_count, etc.) - - Emits structured events via `tracing` with a stable schema - - Runs with deterministic concurrency (configurable worker counts) - ---- - -### 6) Instrumentation & Data Model - -- **Instrumentation points** (add minimal code in core): - - - Discovery phase start/stop; per-directory timings optional - - Content ID hashing start/stop and counters: bytes read (actual), files hashed (full vs sampled), hash errors - - Media extraction: items processed/sec by type - - DB metrics: entries inserted, batched writes, txn count, avg/percentile txn duration - - Global wall-clock timings per phase and total - -- **Event schema (NDJSON)** - - `bench_meta`: env (hardware, OS), git commit, rustc, features - - `phase_start` / `phase_end`: phase name, timestamp - - `counter`: name, value, unit, at timestamp - - `summary`: computed metrics (files/sec, MB/sec, p50/p90/p99 latencies) - -All outputs are machine-readable first; human-friendly markdown is derived from JSON. - ---- - -### 7) Methodology & Repeatability - -- **Runs**: Default 5–10 runs per scenario; report median ± MAD (or SD). Persist all raw runs. -- **Caches**: For Linux, instruct dropping caches between cold runs (requires sudo; optional). For macOS, document lack of reliable page cache flush; report both first (cold-ish) and subsequent (warm) run medians. -- **Isolation**: Advise disabling Spotlight/Indexing and background heavy apps; pin CPU governor where applicable. -- **Concurrency**: Fix worker counts where relevant to avoid run-to-run drift. -- **Data locality**: Ensure datasets reside on the intended storage (NVMe vs HDD vs network share). For remote, record provider throttles/limits. - ---- - -### 8) Scenarios Matrix (initial set) - -- Local storage: - - - NVMe: discovery-only, discovery+content, full (with media off/on) - - External SSD (USB 3.2): same as above - - HDD (USB 3.0/SATA): same as above - -- Network storage: - - - NAS over 1Gbps (and optionally 10Gbps): discovery-only, discovery+content - -- Remote providers: - - - S3 (metadata-only; optional content sampling via ranged reads) - - Google Drive (metadata-only) - - FTP/SFTP/WebDAV (local container targets for reproducibility) - -- Search & DB: - - Keyword and semantic search at 1M entries: p50/p90/p99 - - Bulk ingest (DB write throughput) using generated Entry batches - ---- - -### 9) Reporting & Publication - -- Store raw results in `benchmarks/results/` with timestamped filenames. -- `sd-bench report` produces: - - Markdown summary (`docs/benchmarks.md`) including environment details and scenario tables - - CSV exports for spreadsheet analysis - - Optional JSON-to-plot script (e.g., gnuplot/vega spec) for charts - -Version every published report with git commit hashes and recipe checksums. - ---- - -### 10) CI, Regression Tracking, and Guardrails - -- CI runs micro-benchmarks only (hashing, DB ingest on tiny datasets) to avoid long jobs. -- Nightly/weekly scheduled benchmarks on dedicated hardware (self-hosted runners) produce artifacts and trend lines. -- Introduce threshold alerts: if median files/sec drops >X% vs last baseline, open an issue automatically. - ---- - -### 11) Privacy, Licensing, and Safety - -- Synthetic datasets by default; no personal data. -- Public corpora scripts include license notices and checksums. -- Remote benchmarks authenticate via env vars and redact from results. - ---- - -### 12) Implementation Plan (phased) - -1. Scaffold `benchmarks/` crate with `sd-bench` CLI; define result schemas. -2. Add minimal core instrumentation (per-phase timers/counters) behind a feature flag `bench_mode`. -3. Implement `mkdata` generator with YAML recipes; produce multi-Location directory trees. -4. Implement `run indexing-…` scenarios for local storage; emit NDJSON/JSON. -5. Add `report` to render markdown summaries and CSV. -6. Extend to search and DB ingest benchmarks. -7. Add remote/provider scenarios (MinIO, containers for FTP/SFTP/WebDAV); optional GDrive. -8. Add weekly scheduled runner and doc publishing. - -Deliverables per milestone include: code, example recipes, baseline results, and an updated `docs/benchmarks.md`. - ---- - -### 13) Open Questions - -- Exact instrumentation points in current indexing phases (`src/operations/indexing/phases/…`): finalize names and ownership. -- How we want to toggle DB persistence and PRAGMAs for “discovery-only” comparative runs. -- Which media fixtures to include by default (balance between realism and runtime). -- Do we want a small “golden” dataset versioned in the repo purely for CI sanity checks? - ---- - -### 14) What we need from you (Test Locations) - -If you can create and maintain recipe YAMLs for canonical datasets (NVMe-small, NVMe-mixed, SSD-mixed, HDD-large, NAS-1G, NAS-10G, S3-metadata-only, etc.), we’ll wire the generator to build them locally into `benchdata/…` and optionally mirror to remote targets. Include: - -- Desired total file counts and size distributions -- Directory depth/fanout -- Media ratios and which types to generate -- Duplicate ratios -- Any special path patterns you want (e.g., deep nested trees, many small dirs) - -This design supports evolving datasets without checking in large files and lets us replicate results across machines. diff --git a/docs/core/design/CLOSURE_TABLE_INDEXING_PROPOSAL.md b/docs/core/design/CLOSURE_TABLE_INDEXING_PROPOSAL.md deleted file mode 100644 index ae79d9d8d..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/CLOSURE_TABLE_INDEXING_PROPOSAL.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,124 +0,0 @@ -'''# Closure Table Indexing Proposal for Spacedrive - -## Executive Summary - -This document proposes a shift from a materialized path-based indexing system to a hybrid model incorporating a **Closure Table**. This change will dramatically improve hierarchical query performance, address critical scaling bottlenecks, and enhance data integrity, particularly for move operations. The core of this proposal is to supplement the existing `entries` table with an `entry_closure` table and a `parent_id` field, enabling highly efficient and scalable filesystem indexing. - -## 1. Current Implementation Analysis - -### Materialized Path Approach -Spacedrive currently uses a materialized path approach where: -- Each entry stores its `relative_path` (e.g., "Documents/Projects"). -- Full paths are reconstructed by combining `location_path + relative_path + name`. -- There are no explicit, indexed parent-child relationships in the database. - -### Performance Bottlenecks -This design leads to significant performance issues that will not scale: -1. **String-based path matching** for finding children/descendants (`LIKE 'path/%'`). These queries are un-indexable and require full table scans. -2. **Sequential directory aggregation** from leaves to root, which is slow and complex. -3. **Inefficient ancestor queries** (e.g., for breadcrumbs), requiring multiple queries and string parsing in the application layer. - -## 2. The Closure Table Solution - -### Concept -A closure table stores all ancestor-descendant relationships explicitly, turning slow string operations into highly efficient integer-based joins. - -### Proposed Schema Changes - -**1. Add `parent_id` to `entries` table:** -This provides a direct, indexed link to a parent, simplifying relationship lookups during indexing. - -```sql -ALTER TABLE entries ADD COLUMN parent_id INTEGER REFERENCES entries(id) ON DELETE SET NULL; -``` - -**2. Create `entry_closure` table:** - -```sql -CREATE TABLE entry_closure ( - ancestor_id INTEGER NOT NULL, - descendant_id INTEGER NOT NULL, - depth INTEGER NOT NULL, - PRIMARY KEY (ancestor_id, descendant_id), - FOREIGN KEY (ancestor_id) REFERENCES entries(id) ON DELETE CASCADE, - FOREIGN KEY (descendant_id) REFERENCES entries(id) ON DELETE CASCADE -); - -CREATE INDEX idx_closure_descendant ON entry_closure(descendant_id); -CREATE INDEX idx_closure_ancestor_depth ON entry_closure(ancestor_id, depth); -``` -*Note: `ON DELETE CASCADE` is crucial. When an entry is deleted, all its relationships in the closure table are automatically and efficiently removed by the database.* - -## 3. Critical Requirement: Inode-Based Change Detection - -A core prerequisite for the closure table's integrity is the indexer's ability to reliably distinguish between a file **move** and a **delete/add** operation, especially when Spacedrive is catching up on offline changes. - -**The Problem:** Without proper move detection, moving a directory containing 10,000 files would be misinterpreted as 10,000 deletions and 10,000 creations, leading to a catastrophic and incorrect rebuild of the closure table. - -**The Solution:** The indexing process **must** be inode-aware. -1. **Initial Scan:** Before scanning the filesystem, the indexer must load all existing entries for the target location into two in-memory maps: - * `path_map: HashMap` - * `inode_map: HashMap` -2. **Reconciliation:** When the indexer encounters a file on disk: - * If the file's path is not in `path_map`, it then looks up the file's **inode** in `inode_map`. - * If the inode is found, the indexer has detected a **move**. It must trigger a specific `EntryMoved` event/update. - * If neither the path nor the inode is found, it is a genuinely new file. - -This is the only way to guarantee the integrity of the hierarchy and prevent data corruption in the closure table. - -## 4. Implementation Strategy - -### Hybrid Approach -We will keep the current materialized path system for display purposes and backwards compatibility but add the closure table as the primary mechanism for all hierarchical operations. - -### Implementation Plan - -1. **Schema Migration:** - * Create a new database migration file. - * Add the `parent_id` column to the `entries` table. - * Create the `entry_closure` table and its indexes as defined above. - -2. **Update Indexing Logic:** - * Modify the `EntryProcessor::create_entry` function to accept a `parent_id`. - * When a new entry is inserted, within the same database transaction: - 1. Insert the entry and get its new `id`. - 2. Insert the self-referential row into `entry_closure`: `(ancestor_id: id, descendant_id: id, depth: 0)`. - 3. If `parent_id` exists, execute the following query to copy the parent's ancestor relationships: - ```sql - INSERT INTO entry_closure (ancestor_id, descendant_id, depth) - SELECT p.ancestor_id, ? as descendant_id, p.depth + 1 - FROM entry_closure p - WHERE p.descendant_id = ? -- parent_id - ``` - -3. **Refactor Core Operations:** - - ''' * **Move Operation:** This is the most complex part. When an `EntryMoved` event is handled, the entire operation **must be wrapped in a single database transaction** to ensure atomicity and prevent data corruption. - 1. **Disconnect Subtree:** Delete all hierarchical relationships for the moved node and its descendants, *except* for their own internal relationships.''' - ```sql - DELETE FROM entry_closure - WHERE descendant_id IN (SELECT descendant_id FROM entry_closure WHERE ancestor_id = ?1) -- All descendants of the moved node - AND ancestor_id NOT IN (SELECT descendant_id FROM entry_closure WHERE ancestor_id = ?1); -- All ancestors of the moved node itself - ``` - 2. **Update `parent_id`:** Set the `parent_id` of the moved entry to its new parent. - 3. **Reconnect Subtree:** Connect the moved subtree to its new parent. - ```sql - INSERT INTO entry_closure (ancestor_id, descendant_id, depth) - SELECT p.ancestor_id, c.descendant_id, p.depth + c.depth + 1 - FROM entry_closure p, entry_closure c - WHERE p.descendant_id = ?1 -- new_parent_id - AND c.ancestor_id = ?2; -- moved_entry_id - ``` - - * **Delete Operation:** With `ON DELETE CASCADE` defined on the foreign keys, the database will handle this automatically. When an entry is deleted, all rows in `entry_closure` where it is an `ancestor_id` or `descendant_id` will be removed. - -4. **Refactor Hierarchical Queries:** - * Gradually replace all `LIKE` queries for path matching with efficient `JOIN`s on the `entry_closure` table. - * **Get Children:** `... WHERE c.ancestor_id = ? AND c.depth = 1` - * **Get Descendants:** `... WHERE c.ancestor_id = ? AND c.depth > 0` - * **Get Ancestors:** `... WHERE c.descendant_id = ? ORDER BY c.depth DESC` - -## 5. Conclusion - -While this is a significant architectural change, it is essential for the long-term performance and scalability of Spacedrive. The current string-based path matching is a critical bottleneck that this proposal directly and correctly addresses using established database patterns. The hybrid approach and phased rollout plan provide a safe and manageable path to implementation. -''' \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/core/design/CROSS_DEVICE_FILE_TRANSFER_IMPLEMENTATION.md b/docs/core/design/CROSS_DEVICE_FILE_TRANSFER_IMPLEMENTATION.md deleted file mode 100644 index 2619d14f7..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/CROSS_DEVICE_FILE_TRANSFER_IMPLEMENTATION.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,283 +0,0 @@ -# Cross-Device File Transfer Implementation - -## Overview - -Spacedrive now supports real-time file transfer between paired devices over the network.

Create `types/` directory -2. Move all type definitions (commands, responses, common types) -3. Update imports throughout the codebase - -### Phase 2: Extract Services (Medium Risk) -1. Create `services/` directory -2. Extract common patterns into services: - - State management - - Current library logic - - Device registration - - Error handling patterns - -### Phase 3: Create Handlers (Medium Risk) -1. Create `handlers/` directory -2. Implement handler trait -3. Create individual handlers, starting with: - - Core handler (ping, shutdown, status) - - Library handler - - One handler at a time for remaining domains - -### Phase 4: Refactor Daemon Core (High Risk) -1. Update daemon to use handler registry -2. Replace monolithic switch with handler dispatch -3. Clean up remaining code - -### Phase 5: Cleanup and Testing -1. Add unit tests for each handler -2. Add integration tests for daemon -3. Remove any dead code -4. Update documentation - -## Benefits - -1. **Modularity**: Each domain's logic is isolated in its own handler -2. **Testability**: Handlers can be unit tested without starting a daemon -3. **Maintainability**: Easy to find and modify specific functionality -4. **Extensibility**: Adding new commands only requires adding a handler -5. **Code Reuse**: Common patterns are extracted into services -6. **Type Safety**: Better type organization prevents errors - -## Alternative Approaches Considered - -### 1. Message Bus Pattern -- **Pros**: Fully decoupled, async message passing -- **Cons**: More complex, harder to debug, overkill for this use case - -### 2.

Complete current refactoring with duplicated errors -2. Create `CoreErrorKind` in `core/src/common/error_kinds.rs` -3. Migrate `ActionError`, `QueryError`, `ApiError` to wrap `CoreErrorKind` -4. Update error conversions to handle the wrapper -5. Update all error construction sites - -**Estimated Effort:** 2-4 hours for full migration after current refactoring is stable. - -## Conclusion - -This architecture provides clear separation of concerns across the infrastructure layer: - -1. **Wire Layer**: RPC mechanics only -2. **API Layer**: Cross-cutting orchestration (sessions, permissions, middleware) -3. **Manager Layer**: Operation-specific infrastructure (validation, audit, cache) -4. **Business Layer**: Actual operation implementation - -By fixing the bypass problem and bringing Query infrastructure to parity with Action infrastructure, we create a consistent, maintainable, and extensible foundation for all Spacedrive operations. - -The key insight: **Managers should orchestrate operations, not be bypassed by the API layer**. - -## Appendix: Code Examples - -### Complete Flow Example - -```rust -// 1.

Language Agnostic - -- Integrations can be written in any language, encouraging broader community contribution. -- Communication is handled via standard, high-performance IPC protocols. - -### 3\. On-Demand Data Access - -- The system is built to avoid local synchronization of cloud storage. -- Metadata and content are fetched on-demand from remote sources, enabling the management of petabyte-scale libraries on devices with limited local storage. - -### 4\. Unified Core Logic - -- The core indexer's advanced logic (change detection, batching, aggregation, database operations) is reused for all storage locations, whether local or remote. -- Integrations act as "data providers" rather than implementing their own indexing or sync logic. - -## Architecture Overview - -The architecture treats integrations as isolated data providers. The core communicates with them to request metadata and content on demand. - -``` -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Spacedrive Core │ -│ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────────────┐ │ -│ │ Integration │ │ Core Systems │ │ -│ │ Manager │ │ • Location Manager │ │ -│ │ │ │ • Indexer & Job System │ │ -│ │ • Registry │ │ • File Type Registry │ │ -│ │ • Lifecycle Mgmt│ │ • Event Bus │ │ -│ │ • IPC Router │ │ • Credential Manager │ │ -│ │ • Sandbox │ └──────────────────────────────┘ │ -│ └─────────────────┘ │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - │ (IPC: Metadata & Content Requests) │ - └──────────────┬────────────────────────────┘ - │ - ┌────────────────▼────────────────┐ - │ (Isolated Integration Process) │ - │ ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ - │ │ Integration Main Logic │ │ - │ │ (e.g., Google Drive Plugin) │ │ - │ └─────────────┬─────────────┘ │ - │ │ (Uses OpenDAL)│ - │ ┌─────────────▼─────────────┐ │ - │ │ OpenDAL Operator │ │ - │ └─────────────────────────────┘ │ - └────────────────┬────────────────┘ - │ (Native API Calls) - ▼ - [ Third-Party API ] - (e.g., Google Drive) -``` - -## The Remote Indexing & Content Fetching Model - -This model is central to the design. It ensures Spacedrive can handle massive cloud locations efficiently. - -**1. Remote Discovery:** - -- When indexing a cloud location, the core `IndexerJob` dispatches a request to the appropriate integration, asking it to discover the contents of a path. -- The integration process uses a library like **Apache OpenDAL** to list files and folders directly from the cloud API (e.g., S3, Google Drive). -- The integration translates the API response into the standard `DirEntry` format and streams this metadata back to the core. **File content is not downloaded at this stage.** -- The core indexer's `Processing` phase consumes these `DirEntry` objects as if they came from the local filesystem, reusing all its database and change-detection logic. - -**2. On-Demand Content Hashing:** - -- During the `ContentIdentification` phase, the indexer needs to generate a content hash (`cas_id`) for each file. -- For a remote file, the indexer requests specific byte ranges from the integration (e.g., the first 8KB, three 10KB samples, and the last 8KB). -- The integration uses OpenDAL to perform efficient ranged requests to the cloud API, fetching only the required data chunks. -- These chunks are streamed back to the core and fed into the hasher. This allows hashing of terabyte-scale files with minimal bandwidth. - -**3. Lazy Thumbnail & Rich Metadata Extraction:** - -- After the main index is complete, a separate, lower-priority `ThumbnailerJob` is dispatched for visual media files. -- This job requests the **full file content** (or relevant portions, like headers for EXIF data) from the integration on-demand. -- This lazy processing ensures the UI is responsive and the initial index is fast, with rich media populating in the background. - -## Core Components - -The core components like `IntegrationManager`, `IntegrationRegistry`, `IpcRouter`, and `CredentialManager` remain largely as defined in the original design document, as they provide a robust foundation for managing isolated processes. - -## Integration Types - -The traits defining integration capabilities are revised to support the on-demand model. - -### Cloud Storage Provider - -This is the primary integration type for storage. - -```rust -#[async_trait] -pub trait CloudStorageProvider { - /// Discover entries at a given remote path. - /// This should be a stream to handle very large directories. - async fn discover(&self, path: &str, credentials: &IntegrationCredential) -> Result>; - - /// Stream the content of a remote file. - /// The implementation should support efficient byte range requests. - async fn stream_content( - &self, - path: &str, - range: Option, - credentials: &IntegrationCredential, - ) -> Result>; - - // ... other methods for writing/managing files (create_folder, write_file, etc.) -} -``` - -## Job System Integration - -The job system is updated to defer heavy processing. - -```rust -#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, Job)] -pub struct IntegrationJob { - pub integration_id: String, - pub operation: IntegrationOperation, - pub params: JsonValue, -} - -#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub enum IntegrationOperation { - /// Generates a thumbnail for a specific entry. - ThumbnailGeneration { - entry_id: i32, - // The path/location info would be looked up from the entry_id - }, - /// Extracts rich metadata like EXIF, video duration, etc. - MetadataExtraction { - entry_id: i32, - }, - // ... other integration-specific background tasks -} - -// Example Handler for the ThumbnailerJob -#[async_trait] -impl JobHandler for IntegrationJob { - type Output = JobOutput; - - async fn run(&mut self, ctx: JobContext<'_>) -> JobResult { - match &self.operation { - IntegrationOperation::ThumbnailGeneration { entry_id } => { - // 1.

The implementation will use Apple's official `ImageCaptureCore` framework, ensuring a secure and stable integration. - -## 2. Design Principles - -- **Native Integration:** Use official, recommended Apple APIs (`ImageCaptureCore`) for all device communication. -- **User Consent First:** All access to the device will be gated by the standard macOS user permission prompts. The user is always in control. -- **Read-Only Source:** The iPhone's storage will be treated as a read-only source. The import process is non-destructive and never modifies the contents of the source device. -- **VDFS Consistency:** The feature will integrate seamlessly with Spacedrive's existing architectural patterns, including the `Volume`, `Entry`, and `Action` / `Job` systems. - -## 3.

The `iPhoneDeviceService` (macOS only) - -This new service will be the core of the implementation. - -- **Technology:** It will be written in Rust and use the `objc2` family of crates to create a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) bridge to the Objective-C `ImageCaptureCore` framework. -- **Permissions:** The final Spacedrive application bundle will need to include an `Info.plist` file with the "Hardened Runtime" capability enabled, specifically requesting the "USB" entitlement. The service will also be responsible for triggering the user permission dialog to access the device. -- **Lifecycle:** The service will run a device browser (`ICDeviceBrowser`) in a background task to listen for device connection and disconnection events, allowing Spacedrive to react instantly when an iPhone is plugged in or removed. - -### 3.2. The "Virtual Volume" Model - -A connected iPhone will be represented as a temporary, virtual `Volume` in Spacedrive. - -- **Appearance:** It will appear in the UI alongside other volumes like hard drives and network shares, but with a distinct icon (e.g., a phone icon). -- **Identity:** The volume's unique identifier will be the UUID provided by `ImageCaptureCore` for the `ICCameraDevice`. It will not have a traditional filesystem mount path. -- **Lifecycle:** The `iPhoneDeviceService` will create this virtual volume when a device is connected and remove it (or mark it as offline) when the device is disconnected. - -### 3.3. On-Demand, Ephemeral Browsing - -To avoid indexing the entire contents of the phone, browsing will be done on-demand. - -- **User Flow:** When the user selects the "iPhone" volume in the UI, a live query is sent to the `iPhoneDeviceService`. -- **Live Query:** The service opens a session with the `ICCameraDevice` and fetches the list of media items (`ICCameraItem` objects). -- **Ephemeral Entries:** This list is then translated on-the-fly into temporary, in-memory Spacedrive `Entry` objects. These ephemeral entries will use a special `SdPath` format to uniquely identify them. - - **URI Format:** `sd://iphone-camera/{device_uuid}/item/{item_id}` - -### 3.4. The `ImportFromDeviceAction` - -The import process will be a new, dedicated `Action` that leverages the existing job system. - -- **Trigger:** The user selects one or more ephemeral photo/video entries and a standard destination `Location` (e.g., a folder on their NAS). -- **Action Definition:** A new, generic `ImportFromDeviceAction` will be created. - ```rust - pub struct ImportFromDeviceAction { - pub source_device_id: Uuid, - pub source_item_ids: Vec, // The native item IDs from ImageCaptureCore - pub destination_location_id: Uuid, - // ... other options like "delete after import" (if API supports it) - } - ``` -- **Job Execution (`ImportJob`):** - 1. The `ActionManager` dispatches an `ImportJob` from the action. - 2. The job calls the `iPhoneDeviceService`, passing the list of item IDs to download. - 3. The service uses the `ImageCaptureCore` function `requestDownload(for:options:...)` to request the original, full-resolution file data. - 4. The service streams the file data directly to a temporary location within the final destination. - 5. Once the file is successfully written, it is moved to its final place in the destination `Location`. - 6. Spacedrive's standard `LocationWatcher` and `Indexer` will then see a new file, and it will be indexed, hashed, and added to the VDFS like any other file. - -## 4. Implementation Plan - -### Phase 1: FFI Foundation & Device Discovery -- **Goal:** Make a connected iPhone appear and disappear in the Spacedrive UI as a virtual volume. -- **Tasks:** - 1. Integrate `objc2` crates. - 2. Configure the application's `Info.plist` with the required entitlements. - 3. Implement the `iPhoneDeviceService` with the `ICDeviceBrowser` to detect device connections. - 4. Implement the logic to create and remove the virtual `Volume` in the `VolumeManager`. - -### Phase 2: On-Demand Browsing -- **Goal:** Allow users to see the contents of their connected iPhone. -- **Tasks:** - 1. Implement the logic to open a session with an `ICCameraDevice`. - 2. Fetch the list of `ICCameraItem`s. - 3. Implement the translation layer that converts `ICCameraItem`s into ephemeral Spacedrive `Entry` objects for the UI. - -### Phase 3: Import Workflow -- **Goal:** Allow users to copy files from their iPhone into Spacedrive. -- **Tasks:** - 1. Define the `ImportFromDeviceAction` and `ImportJob` structs. - 2. Implement the file download logic in the `iPhoneDeviceService` using `requestDownload`. - 3. Integrate the download stream with the job system to write the file to its final destination. - 4. Add progress reporting to the job based on `ImageCaptureCore`'s delegate callbacks. - -### Phase 4: UI/UX Polish -- **Goal:** Create a seamless and intuitive user experience. -- **Tasks:** - 1. Design a custom icon for the iPhone virtual volume. - 2. Build the UI for browsing photos and selecting an import destination. - 3. Integrate job progress indicators (progress bars, notifications) for the import process. - -## 5. Security & Privacy -- **Permissions:** All access to the iPhone is explicitly gated by the standard macOS user consent dialog. The application cannot access the device until the user approves. -- **Read-Only:** The entire process is read-only. No data on the iPhone is ever modified or deleted by Spacedrive (unless a "delete after import" feature is explicitly added and used). -- **Native APIs:** By using `ImageCaptureCore`, we are using Apple's blessed, secure, and stable method for this type of interaction. diff --git a/docs/core/design/IROH_MIGRATION_DESIGN.md b/docs/core/design/IROH_MIGRATION_DESIGN.md deleted file mode 100644 index 11e082fd7..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/IROH_MIGRATION_DESIGN.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,576 +0,0 @@ -# Spacedrive Networking: libp2p to Iroh Migration Design - -## Executive Summary - -This document outlines the complete replacement of libp2p with Iroh for Spacedrive's networking module.

- core.init_networking().await.unwrap(); - - // Get our node address for others to connect - let node_addr = core.networking - .as_ref() - .unwrap() - .endpoint - .node_addr() - .await - .unwrap(); - - (core, node_addr) -} -``` - -## Key Implementation Notes - -1. **ALPN Protocol Negotiation**: Iroh uses ALPN (like HTTP/3) to negotiate protocols. Each protocol gets its own ALPN identifier. - -2. **Stream Types**: Iroh provides both bidirectional and unidirectional streams. Use bi-streams for request/response patterns, uni-streams for one-way data transfer. - -3. **Discovery**: Iroh's discovery system is pluggable. We can use the default Pkarr discovery or implement custom discovery. - -4. **Relay Configuration**: Iroh automatically uses relays when direct connections fail. Configure Spacedrive relays for better control. - -5. **Error Handling**: Iroh errors are more specific than libp2p's. Update error types accordingly. - -6. **Testing**: Iroh works great in tests - no need for complex libp2p test setups. - -## Conclusion - -Replacing libp2p with Iroh will significantly improve Spacedrive's networking reliability while reducing code complexity. The direct replacement approach allows us to immediately benefit from Iroh's superior connectivity and simpler API. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/core/design/IROH_RELAY_INTEGRATION.md b/docs/core/design/IROH_RELAY_INTEGRATION.md deleted file mode 100644 index f2aa76889..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/IROH_RELAY_INTEGRATION.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,407 +0,0 @@ -# Iroh Relay Integration for Spacedrive - -**Author:** AI Assistant -**Date:** October 7, 2025 -**Status:** Implemented (Phase 1 Complete) - -## Executive Summary - -This document outlines the plan to enhance Spacedrive's networking stack to use Iroh's relay servers as a fallback mechanism for device pairing and communication when local (mDNS) connections are not available. The goal is to enable reliable peer-to-peer communication across different networks while maintaining the current fast local network discovery. - -## Current State Analysis - -### What's Already in Place ✅ - -1. **Iroh Integration**: Spacedrive already uses Iroh as its networking stack (migrated from libp2p) -2. **RelayMode Configured**: The endpoint is already configured with `RelayMode::Default` (line 182 in `core/src/service/network/core/mod.rs`) -3. **Relay Information Captured**: When nodes are discovered, the code already extracts and stores `relay_url()` from discovery info (line 1254) -4. **NodeAddr with Relay**: When building `NodeAddr` for connections, relay URLs are included alongside direct addresses - -### Current Limitations - -1. **mDNS-Only Pairing**: Device pairing currently relies exclusively on mDNS for discovery - - Initiator broadcasts pairing session ID via mDNS user_data - - Joiner listens for mDNS announcements with matching session_id - - **Failure Point**: If devices are on different networks or mDNS doesn't work (e.g., restricted networks, iOS entitlement issues), pairing fails entirely - -2. **No Remote Discovery Fallback**: The pairing flow has a 10-second mDNS timeout but no fallback mechanism - - Line 1218: `let timeout = tokio::time::Duration::from_secs(10);` - - Line 1288-1297: If mDNS times out, the system just warns and fails - - No attempt to use relay for pairing discovery - -3. **Relay Not Used for Reconnection**: Persisted devices store relay URLs but they're not actively used - - Line 393 in `device/persistence.rs`: `relay_url: Option` is stored - - But reconnection attempts (line 396 in `core/mod.rs`) use the NodeAddr which may not have valid relay info - -4. **No Relay Health Monitoring**: No visibility into relay connection status or fallback behavior - -## The Good News - -**The relay is already working!** Iroh is configured to use relay servers by default, and when you connect to a `NodeAddr` that includes a relay URL, Iroh automatically: -1. Attempts direct connection via provided socket addresses -2. Falls back to relay connection if direct fails -3. Attempts hole-punching to establish direct connection while relaying -4.

Overview - This document specifies the design for two critical components of Spacedrive Core v2's multi-device synchronization system: a user-driven protocol for managing sync leadership and a secure protocol for sharing library access between paired devices. - -This design refines the concepts in SYNC_DESIGN.md by replacing complex, automatic leader election with a pragmatic, user-controlled Leader Promotion Model. This approach prioritizes stability and data integrity, acknowledging the intended architecture where at least one device per library (e.g., a self-hosted server) is "always-on". - -Furthermore, it formalizes the Secure Library Key Exchange Protocol, detailing how a device can safely receive the necessary cryptographic keys to join and sync a library, leveraging the trusted channel established during initial device pairing. - -2. Part 1: Pragmatic Leader Promotion Model - This model is founded on the principle that leadership of a library's sync log is a deliberate administrative role, not a dynamically shifting one. Changes in leadership are explicit, observable, and controlled by the user. - -2.1. Initial Leader Selection - -The first leader is designated when sync is enabled for a library. - -Trigger: A user initiates sync for a library between two or more devices via the SyncSetupJob. - -Mechanism: The UI will prompt the user to explicitly select which device will act as the leader for that library. This choice is final until another promotion is manually initiated. - -Storage: The device_id of the chosen leader, along with an initial epoch number (e.g., 1), is stored in the library's library.json configuration file. This file is then distributed to all participating devices as the unambiguous source of truth for leadership. - -2.2. Leadership Handover: The promote-leader Command - -A leadership change is an administrative task triggered via the CLI. This prevents unintended leadership changes due to transient network issues. - -2.2.1. CLI Command - -A new command will be added to the spacedrive CLI: - -spacedrive library promote-leader --library-id --new-leader-device-id [--force] - ---library-id: The UUID of the library whose leader is being changed. - ---new-leader-device-id: The UUID of the follower device being promoted. - ---force: An optional flag for disaster recovery. It allows promoting a new leader even if the current leader is offline. This action requires explicit user confirmation due to the risk of creating a split-brain scenario if the old leader later comes back online unaware of the change. - -2.2.2. The LeaderPromotionJob - -Executing the command dispatches a LeaderPromotionJob. This ensures the complex, multi-step process is reliable, resumable, and provides clear progress feedback to the user, consistent with Spacedrive's job-based architecture. - -Job Definition (src/sync/jobs/leader_promotion.rs): - -#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, Job)] -pub struct LeaderPromotionJob { -pub library_id: Uuid, -pub new_leader_id: Uuid, -pub old_leader_id: Uuid, -pub force: bool, - - // Internal state for resumability - #[serde(skip)] - state: PromotionState, - -} - -#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, PartialEq)] -enum PromotionState { -Pending, -PreFlightChecks, -PausingSync, -ExportingLog, -TransferringLog, -ImportingLog, -ConfirmingHandover, -ResumingSync, -Complete, -Failed, -} - -// ... Job and JobHandler implementations ... - -2.2.3. Promotion Workflow State Machine - -The LeaderPromotionJob executes the following state machine: - -Pre-flight Checks: - -Verify the new leader device is online and fully synced with the current leader's log. A promotion cannot proceed if the candidate is behind. - -If --force is not used, verify the current leader is also online. If not, the job fails with a message instructing the user to use --force for disaster recovery. - -Pause Library Sync (Quiescence): - -The current leader broadcasts a PauseSync message to all followers for the library. - -Followers receive this message, stop processing local changes for that library, and enter a "paused" state, awaiting the promotion to complete. - -Sync Log Transfer: - -The current leader serializes and compresses its entire sync_log for the specified library. - -It initiates a standard, robust file transfer to send the log export to the new leader device, reusing the battle-tested protocol demonstrated in test_core_file_transfer.rs. - -Verification & Import: - -The new leader receives and verifies the integrity of the log file. - -Upon successful verification, it replaces its local (follower) copy of the sync log with the authoritative version from the old leader. - -The Handover: - -Epoch Increment: The new leader increments the library's epoch number by one. - -Role Update: The new leader updates its own sync_leadership status to Leader for the library and new epoch. - -Broadcast Confirmation: The new leader broadcasts a NewLeaderConfirmed message, which includes the new_leader_id and the new_epoch. This message is cryptographically signed by the new leader. - -Demotion & Confirmation: The old leader and all followers receive the NewLeaderConfirmed message. They verify the signature, update their library.json to point to the new leader, update the epoch, and (in the case of the old leader) demote their role to Follower. - -Resume Sync: - -The new leader broadcasts a ResumeSync message. - -All followers, now aware of the new leader and epoch, resume normal sync operations, directing all future communication to the new leader. Any stray messages from the old leader are rejected due to the outdated epoch. - -2.2.4. Network Messages - -This model requires only three new simple messages within the DeviceMessage enum. - -// src/services/networking/core/behavior.rs -pub enum DeviceMessage { -// ... existing messages ... - - // Leader Promotion Messages - PauseSync { library_id: Uuid }, - ResumeSync { library_id: Uuid }, - NewLeaderConfirmed { - library_id: Uuid, - new_leader_id: Uuid, - new_epoch: u64, - // The message should be signed to prove the new leader's identity - signature: Vec, - }, - -} - -3. Secure Library Key Exchange Protocol - This protocol enables a new device to join an existing library by securely obtaining the library_key required to decrypt its contents. The entire exchange is protected by the session keys generated during the initial, trusted device pairing process. - -3.1. Trigger - -The protocol is initiated by a user action after two devices have successfully paired. For example, a "Share Library" button in the UI on Device A would show a list of its paired devices, including Device B. - -3.2. Protocol Messages - -The exchange uses a new set of messages within the DeviceMessage enum. - -// src/services/networking/core/behavior.rs -pub enum DeviceMessage { -// ... existing messages ... - - // Library Key Exchange Messages - ShareLibraryRequest { - library_id: Uuid, - library_name: String, - }, - ShareLibraryResponse { - library_id: Uuid, - accepted: bool, - }, - LibraryKeyShare { - library_id: Uuid, - encrypted_library_key: Vec, - nonce: [u8; 12], // For ChaCha20-Poly1305 - }, - ShareComplete { - library_id: Uuid, - success: bool, - }, - -} - -3.3. Key Exchange Workflow - -Let's assume Device A (Owner) has the library and has just paired with Device B (Joiner). - -Initiation (Owner): - -The user on Device A selects a library and chooses to share it with the newly paired Device B. - -Device A sends a ShareLibraryRequest to B. - -User Consent (Joiner): - -Device B receives the request. Its UI prompts the user: "Device A (MacBook Pro) wants to share the library 'Family Photos' with you. Allow?" - -If the user on B accepts, B sends a ShareLibraryResponse { accepted: true } back to A. - -Secure Key Transmission (Owner): - -Device A receives the acceptance. - -It retrieves the plaintext library_key from its secure OS keyring via the LibraryKeyManager. - -It retrieves the session keys established during pairing for Device B from its DeviceRegistry. - -It encrypts the library_key using the session send_key. An AEAD cipher like ChaCha20-Poly1305 is used to ensure confidentiality and authenticity. - -Device A sends the LibraryKeyShare message, containing the encrypted_library_key and nonce, to B. - -Receipt and Storage (Joiner): - -Device B receives the LibraryKeyShare. - -It uses its corresponding session receive_key to decrypt the payload. - -Upon successful decryption, it stores the recovered plaintext library_key in its own secure OS keyring via its LibraryKeyManager, associating it with the received library_id. - -Confirmation and Sync: - -Device B sends a ShareComplete { success: true } message to A. - -The key exchange is complete. Device B now has the necessary key to decrypt the library's database and can dispatch an InitialSyncJob to begin syncing the library as a follower. - -4. Conclusion - This design establishes a secure, robust, and user-centric foundation for multi-device collaboration in Spacedrive. - -The Pragmatic Leader Promotion Model replaces complex automatic elections with a deliberate, job-based administrative process. This enhances stability, prevents data corruption, and aligns with the intended use case of an always-on device acting as a stable leader. - -The Secure Library Key Exchange Protocol provides a simple yet cryptographically secure method for granting new devices access to a library, building upon the trust established during the initial device pairing. - -By integrating these protocols into the existing job-based and event-driven architecture, Spacedrive can offer powerful multi-device sync features without sacrificing user control or data integrity. diff --git a/docs/core/design/NETWORKING_SYSTEM_DESIGN.md b/docs/core/design/NETWORKING_SYSTEM_DESIGN.md deleted file mode 100644 index 459b26915..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/NETWORKING_SYSTEM_DESIGN.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,947 +0,0 @@ -# Networking System Design - -## Overview - -This document outlines a flexible networking system for Spacedrive that supports both local P2P connections and internet-based communication through a relay service.

Dual File Management Systems - -The most fundamental architectural flaw is the existence of two completely separate file management systems: - -- **Indexed System**: Database-driven, supports rich metadata, uses background jobs -- **Ephemeral System**: Direct filesystem access, no persistence, immediate operations - -**Problems**: - -- Cannot copy/paste between indexed and non-indexed locations -- Duplicate API endpoints for every file operation -- Completely different code paths for the same conceptual operations -- User confusion: "Why can't I copy from my home folder to my indexed desktop?" -- Maintenance nightmare: Every feature must be implemented twice - -#### 2. The `invalidate_query` Anti-Pattern - -The query invalidation system violates fundamental architectural principles: - -```rust -// Backend code knows about frontend React Query keys -invalidate_query!(library, "search.paths"); -invalidate_query!(library, "search.ephemeralPaths"); -``` - -- **Frontend coupling**: Backend hardcodes frontend cache keys -- **String-based**: No type safety, prone to typos -- **Scattered calls**: `invalidate_query!` spread throughout codebase -- **Over-invalidation**: Often invalidates entire query categories -- **Should be**: Event-driven architecture where frontend subscribes to changes - -#### 3. Over-Engineered Sync System - -The sync system became complex due to conflicting requirements: - -- **Custom CRDT Implementation**: Built to handle mixed local/shared data requirements -- **Dual Database Tables**: `cloud_crdt_operation` for pending, `crdt_operation` for ingested (could have been one table with a boolean) -- **Actor Model Overhead**: Multiple concurrent actors (Sender, Receiver, Ingester) with complex coordination -- **Mixed Data Requirements**: Some data must remain local-only, creating fundamental sync challenges -- **Analysis Paralysis**: Engineering debates about local vs shared data prevented shipping - -#### 4. Technical Debt from Library Ownership - -Critical context: The Spacedrive team **created** prisma-client-rust and rspc, not just forked them: - -- **prisma-client-rust**: Created by the team, then abandoned when needs diverged -- **rspc**: Created by the team, then abandoned for the same reason -- Both libraries now unmaintained with Spacedrive on deprecated forks -- **Prisma moving away from Rust**: Official Prisma shifting to TypeScript, making the situation worse - -#### 5. Architectural Confusion - -- **Old P2P system** still present alongside new cloud system -- **Incomplete key management** system (commented out in schema) -- **Mixed sync paradigms**: CRDT operations, cloud sync groups, and P2P remnants -- **Transaction timeouts** set to extreme values (9,999,999,999 ms) - -#### 6. Job System Boilerplate - -Despite being a well-engineered system, the job system requires excessive boilerplate: - -- **500-1000+ lines** to implement a new job -- Must implement multiple traits (`Job`, `SerializableJob`, `Hash`) -- Manual registration in central macro system -- All job types must be known at compile time -- Cannot add jobs dynamically or via plugins - -#### 7. Neglected Search System - -Despite being a core value proposition, search is severely underdeveloped: - -- **No content search**: Cannot search inside files -- **Basic SQL queries**: Just `LIKE` operations, no full-text search -- **No vector/semantic search**: Missing modern search capabilities -- **Dual search systems**: Separate implementations for indexed vs ephemeral -- **Not "lightning fast"**: Unoptimized queries, no search indexes -- **Can't search offline files**: Only searches locally indexed files - -#### 8. Node/Device/Instance Identity Crisis - -Three overlapping concepts for the same thing cause confusion: - -- **Node**: P2P identity for the application -- **Device**: Sync system identity for hardware -- **Instance**: Library-specific P2P identity -- Same machine represented differently in each system -- Developers unsure which to use when -- Complex identity mapping between systems - -#### 9. Messy Core Directory Organization - -The `/core` directory shows signs of incomplete refactoring: - -- **Old code not removed**: Multiple `old_*` modules still present -- **Both old and new systems running**: Job system, P2P, file operations -- **Mixed organization patterns**: Some by feature, some by layer -- **Unclear module boundaries**: Related code spread across multiple locations -- **Incomplete migrations**: Old systems referenced alongside new ones - -#### 10. Poor Test Coverage - -- Minimal unit tests across the codebase -- No integration tests for sync system -- Only the task-system crate has comprehensive tests -- No end-to-end testing framework - -## Deep Dive: Core Systems - -### Dual File Management Architecture - -The codebase contains two completely separate implementations for file management: - -**1. Indexed File System** (`/core/src/api/files.rs`): - -```rust -// Operations require location_id and file_path_ids from database -pub struct OldFileCopierJobInit { - pub source_location_id: location::id::Type, - pub target_location_id: location::id::Type, - pub sources_file_path_ids: Vec, -} -// Runs as background job -OldJob::new(args).spawn(&node, &library) -``` - -**2. Ephemeral File System** (`/core/src/api/ephemeral_files.rs`): - -```rust -// Operations work directly with filesystem paths -struct EphemeralFileSystemOps { - sources: Vec, - target_dir: PathBuf, -} -// Executes immediately -args.copy(&library).await -``` - -**API Duplication**: - -```rust -// Two separate routers -.merge("files.", files::mount()) // Indexed files -.merge("ephemeralFiles.", ephemeral_files::mount()) // Non-indexed files - -// Duplicate procedures in each: -- createFile - createFolder -- copyFiles - cutFiles -- deleteFiles - renameFile -``` - -This creates a fractured user experience where basic file operations fail across boundaries. - -### The Query Invalidation Anti-Pattern - -The `invalidate_query!` macro represents a significant architectural mistake: - -```rust -// In /core/src/api/utils/invalidate.rs -pub enum InvalidateOperationEvent { - Single(SingleInvalidateOperationEvent), - All, // Nuclear option -} - -// Usage throughout codebase: -invalidate_query!(library, "search.paths"); -invalidate_query!(library, "search.ephemeralPaths"); -invalidate_query!(library, "locations.list"); -``` - -**Why it's problematic**: - -1. **Tight Coupling**: Backend must know frontend's React Query keys -2. **Maintenance Burden**: Changing frontend cache structure requires backend changes -3. **Error Prone**: String-based keys with no compile-time validation -4. **Performance**: Often invalidates more than necessary -5. **Debugging**: Hard to trace what triggers invalidations - -**Better approach**: Event-driven architecture where backend emits domain events and frontend decides what to invalidate. - -### Sync Architecture - -The sync system's complexity stems from trying to solve multiple conflicting requirements: - -``` -Cloud Operations → cloud_crdt_operation (pending) - ↓ - Ingestion Process - ↓ - crdt_operation (ingested) - ↓ - Apply to Database -``` - -**Core Challenge**: Mixed Local/Shared Data - -- Some data must sync (file metadata, tags, etc.) -- Some data must remain local (personal preferences, local paths) -- No clear boundary between what syncs and what doesn't -- This fundamental question paralyzed development - -**Design Decisions**: - -1. Dual tables track ingestion state (pending vs processed) -2. CRDT operations store sync messages for replay -3. Custom implementation to handle local-only fields -4. Complex actor model to manage concurrent sync - -**Why It Failed**: - -- The team couldn't agree on what should sync -- Custom CRDT implementation for mixed data was too complex -- Perfect became the enemy of good -- Should have used existing SQLite sync solutions - -### Database Design Issues - -The Prisma schema reveals several problems: - -```prisma -// Many fields marked "Not actually NULLABLE" but defined as optional -field_name String? // Not actually NULLABLE - -// Dual operation tables create synchronization issues -model crdt_operation { ... } -model cloud_crdt_operation { ... } - -// Key management system commented out -// model key { ... } -``` - -### Library Creation and Abandonment - -A critical piece of context: The Spacedrive team **created** both prisma-client-rust and rspc, not just forked them. - -**prisma-client-rust**: - -- Originally created by Spacedrive team member(s) -- Added custom sync generation via `@shared`, `@local`, `@relation` attributes -- Generates CRDT-compatible models with sync IDs -- When requirements diverged, the library was abandoned -- Spacedrive remains on a fork locked to old Prisma 4.x -- Prisma officially moving away from Rust support makes this worse - -**rspc**: - -- Also created by Spacedrive team member(s) -- Provides type-safe RPC between Rust and TypeScript -- Excellent type generation capabilities (unique in Rust/TS ecosystem) -- Library abandoned when Spacedrive's needs diverged -- Fork includes custom modifications -- Less urgent to replace due to simpler scope - -This pattern of creating libraries and abandoning them when needs change has left Spacedrive with significant technical debt. - -### Job System Architecture - -The job system is actually a well-engineered piece of the codebase that works reliably. However, it suffers from Rust-imposed limitations that create massive boilerplate: - -**Two Job Systems**: - -- Old system (`old_job/`) - being phased out -- New system (`heavy-lifting/job_system/`) - current implementation - -**Required Boilerplate for New Jobs**: - -```rust -// 1. Add to JobName enum -pub enum JobName { - Indexer, - FileIdentifier, - MediaProcessor, - // Must add new job here -} - -// 2. Implement Job trait (100-200 lines) -impl Job for MyJob { - const NAME: JobName; - fn resume_tasks(...) -> impl Future<...>; - fn run(...) -> impl Future<...>; -} - -// 3. Implement SerializableJob (100-200 lines) -impl SerializableJob for MyJob { - fn serialize(...) -> impl Future<...>; - fn deserialize(...) -> impl Future<...>; -} - -// 4. Add to central registry macro -match_deserialize_job!( - stored_job, report, ctx, OuterCtx, JobCtx, - [ - indexer::job::Indexer, - file_identifier::job::FileIdentifier, - // Must add new job here too - ] -) -``` - -**Why This is Problematic**: - -1. **Rust Limitations**: No runtime reflection means all types must be known at compile time -2. **Manual Registration**: Forget to add your job to the macro = runtime panic -3. **No Extensibility**: Cannot add jobs from external crates or plugins -4. **Cognitive Load**: Understanding the job system requires understanding complex generics - -**Result**: Adding a simple file operation job requires 500-1000+ lines of boilerplate code. - -### Search System: The Unfulfilled Promise - -Search was marketed as a key differentiator - "lightning fast search across all your files" - but the implementation is rudimentary: - -**Current Implementation**: - -```rust -// Basic SQL pattern matching -db.file_path() - .find_many(vec![ - file_path::name::contains(query), - file_path::extension::equals(ext), - ]) -``` - -**What's Missing**: - -1. **No Content Search**: Cannot search text inside documents, PDFs, etc. -2. **No Full-Text Search**: Not using SQLite FTS capabilities -3. **No Search Indexes**: Every search is an unoptimized table scan -4. **No Metadata Search**: Limited to basic file properties -5. **No Vector Search**: No semantic/AI-powered search capabilities - -**The VDFS Vision vs Reality**: - -- **Vision**: Virtual Distributed File System with instant search across all files everywhere -- **Reality**: Basic filename matching on locally indexed files only - -**Why This Matters**: - -- Users expect Spotlight-like search capabilities -- Search is tucked away in the API, not a core system -- Competitors offer semantic search, content indexing, and instant results -- The "virtual" in VDFS is meaningless without comprehensive search - -**What It Would Take**: - -```rust -// Needed: Proper search architecture -trait SearchEngine { - async fn index_content(&self, file: &Path) -> Result<()>; - async fn search(&self, query: Query) -> Result; - async fn update_embeddings(&self, file: &Path) -> Result<()>; -} - -// Content extraction pipeline -// Full-text indexing with SQLite FTS5 -// Vector embeddings for semantic search -// Proper ranking and relevance algorithms -``` - -### Node/Device/Instance Identity Crisis - -The codebase has three different ways to represent the same concept - a Spacedrive installation on a machine: - -**Schema Definitions**: - -```prisma -// Device: For sync system (marked @shared) -model Device { - pub_id Bytes @unique // UUID v7 - name String? - os Int? - hardware_model Int? - // Has relationships with all synced data -} - -// Instance: For library P2P (marked @local) -model Instance { - pub_id Bytes @unique - identity Bytes? // P2P identity for this library - node_id Bytes // Reference to the node - node_remote_identity Bytes? // Node's P2P identity - // Links library to node -} - -// Node: Not in database, just in code -struct Node { - id: Uuid, - identity: Identity, // P2P identity for node - // Application-level config -} -``` - -**Why This Is Confusing**: - -1. **Overlapping Responsibilities**: All three represent aspects of "this machine running Spacedrive" -2. **Different Identity Systems**: Each has its own ID format and generation method -3. **Inconsistent Usage**: Some code uses device_id, others use node_id for the same purpose -4. **P2P vs Sync Split**: Old P2P uses nodes, new sync uses devices, but they need to interoperate - -**Real-World Example**: - -```rust -// When loading a library, we create BOTH device and instance -// for the SAME node, with DIFFERENT IDs -create_device(DevicePubId::from(node.id)) // Node ID becomes Device ID -create_instance(Instance { - node_id: node.id, // Reference to node - identity: Identity::new(), // New identity for instance - node_remote_identity: node.identity, // Copy of node identity -}) -``` - -**Impact**: - -- Engineers confused about which ID to use -- Data duplication and sync issues -- Complex P2P routing logic -- Makes multi-device features harder to implement - -### Core Directory Organization Issues - -The `/core` directory structure reveals incomplete refactoring and poor code organization: - -**Deprecated Code Still Present**: - -``` -/core/src/ - old_job/ # Replaced by heavy-lifting crate - old_p2p/ # Replaced by new p2p crate - object/ - fs/ - old_copy.rs # Old implementations still referenced - old_cut.rs - old_delete.rs - old_erase.rs - old_orphan_remover.rs - validation/ - old_validator_job.rs -``` - -**Critical Business Logic Hidden**: - -- File operations (copy/cut/paste) buried in `old_*.rs` files -- `heavy-lifting` crate name doesn't indicate it contains indexing and media processing -- Core functionality scattered across API handlers and job implementations -- No clear place to find "what Spacedrive actually does" - -**The Crate Extraction Problem**: - -- Previous attempts to split everything into crates led to "cyclic dependency hell" -- Shared types and utilities created impossible dependency graphs -- Current hybrid approach leaves important logic in non-descriptive locations - -**Recommended Architecture: Pragmatic Monolith**: - -``` -/core/src/ - domain/ # Core business entities - library/ - location/ - object/ - device/ # Unified device/node/instance - - operations/ # Business operations (THE IMPORTANT STUFF) - file_ops/ # Cut, copy, paste, delete - CLEARLY VISIBLE - copy.rs - move.rs # Not "cut" - use domain language - delete.rs - secure_delete.rs - common.rs # Shared logic - indexing/ # From heavy-lifting crate - media_processing/ # From heavy-lifting crate - sync/ - - infrastructure/ # External interfaces - api/ # HTTP/RPC endpoints - p2p/ - storage/ # Database access - - jobs/ # Job system (if kept) - system/ # Job infrastructure - definitions/ # Actual job implementations -``` - -**Crate Extraction Guidelines**: - -- **Keep in monolith**: Core file operations, domain logic, API -- **Extract to crates**: Only truly independent functionality with clear interfaces -- **Good candidates**: Third-party sync, P2P protocol, media metadata extraction -- **Bad candidates**: File operations, indexing, anything touching domain models - -This organization: - -- Makes important functionality immediately visible -- Reflects what Spacedrive does, not how it's implemented -- Eliminates cyclic dependency issues -- Simplifies refactoring and maintenance - -## Key Lessons from Failed Sync System - -The sync system failure provides critical insights: - -1. **Mixed Local/Shared Data is a Fundamental Problem** - - - Cannot elegantly sync tables with both local and shared fields - - Requires clear architectural boundaries from the start - - Compromises lead to complex, unmaintainable solutions - -2. **Build vs Buy Decision** - - - Team built custom CRDT system instead of using existing solutions - - SQLite has mature sync options (session extension, various third-party tools) - - Custom sync for custom requirements led to never shipping - -3. **Perfect is the Enemy of Good** - - - Engineering debates about ideal sync architecture - - Could have shipped basic sync and iterated - - Analysis paralysis killed the feature - -4. **Architectural Clarity Required** - - Must decide upfront: what syncs, what doesn't - - Separate tables for local vs shared data - - No halfway solutions - -## Salvage Strategy - -### Phase 1: Stabilization (2-3 months) - -**Goals**: Make the existing codebase stable and maintainable - -1. **Unify File Management Systems** - - - Create abstraction layer over indexed/ephemeral systems - - Implement bridge operations between the two systems - - Consolidate duplicate API endpoints - - Enable cross-boundary file operations - - Single code path for common operations - -2. **Replace Query Invalidation System** - - - Implement proper event bus architecture - - Backend emits domain events (FileCreated, FileDeleted, etc.) - - Frontend subscribes to relevant events - - Remove all `invalidate_query!` macros - - Type-safe event definitions - -3. **Reorganize Core as Pragmatic Monolith** - - - Merge `heavy-lifting` crate back into core with descriptive names - - Create clear `operations/file_ops/` module for copy/move/delete - - Remove all `old_*` modules after extracting logic - - Organize by domain/operations/infrastructure pattern - - Make business logic visible in directory structure - -4. **Critical Bug Fixes** - - - Fix transaction timeout issues - - Resolve nullable field inconsistencies - - Handle sync error cases properly - - Fix race conditions in actor system - -5. **Simplify Job System** - - - Create code generation for job boilerplate - - Use procedural macros to reduce manual registration - - Consider simpler task queue (like Celery pattern) - - Document job creation process clearly - -6. **Unify Identity System** - - - Merge Node/Device/Instance into single concept - - One identity per Spacedrive installation - - Clear separation between app identity and library membership - - Simplify P2P routing without multiple identity layers - -7. **Testing & Documentation** - - Add integration tests for both file systems -

However, the technical debt is more severe than typical abandoned projects due to fundamental architectural flaws and decision paralysis: - -1. **The dual file system** makes basic operations impossible and doubles development effort -2. **The invalidation system** creates unmaintainable coupling between frontend and backend -3. **Abandoned custom libraries** (prisma-client-rust, rspc) leave the project on an island -4. **The sync system** failed due to mixed local/shared data requirements and choosing to build instead of buy -5. **Identity confusion** with Node/Device/Instance representing the same concept differently - -The recurring theme is over-engineering and incomplete migrations: the team created complex abstractions (dual file systems, custom CRDT, three identity systems) and then failed to complete transitions when building replacements. Both old and new systems run in parallel throughout the codebase (jobs, P2P, file operations), creating confusion and bugs. The sync system's failure is particularly instructive: the team couldn't agree on what should sync versus remain local, leading to analysis paralysis. - -Despite these challenges, the project is salvageable because: - -- The core value proposition resonates (34k stars, 500k installs) -- The problems are architectural, not conceptual -- AI can accelerate the refactoring process -- The community remains engaged - -**Critical Success Factors**: - -1. **Unify the file systems** - This is the #1 priority -2. **Build real search** - The "VDFS" promise requires world-class search -3. **Replace Prisma entirely** - Move to SQLx or similar -4. **Simplify ruthlessly** - Remove clever solutions in favor of simple ones -5. **Ship incrementally** - Don't wait for perfection - -**Next Steps**: - -1. Share this analysis with the community -2. Focus initial effort on file system unification -3. Set up sustainable funding (grants, sponsors, pre-orders) -4. Use AI to generate tests and documentation -5. Ship a working version with unified file system in 3 months - -The project's original vision was sound. The execution became too complex. By simplifying the architecture and focusing on core user needs, Spacedrive can fulfill its promise of being the file manager of the future. - -From here we begin a rewrite in `core_new`... diff --git a/docs/core/design/OPERATIONS_REFACTOR_PLAN.md b/docs/core/design/OPERATIONS_REFACTOR_PLAN.md deleted file mode 100644 index b19ab7ebd..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/OPERATIONS_REFACTOR_PLAN.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,832 +0,0 @@ -# Operations Module Refactor Plan - -## Current Problems - -### 1. **Architectural Issues** - -- Mixed abstraction levels in `/operations` (high-level actions, low-level jobs, domain logic) -- Confusing naming: `file_ops` vs `media_processing` vs `indexing` -- Actions are centralized and disconnected from their domains -- Audit logs try to determine library context instead of having it explicit - -### 2. **Library Context Issues** - -- Actions operate at core level but need library-specific audit logging -- Current `ActionManager.determine_library_id()` is unimplemented placeholder -- No clear separation between global actions (LibraryCreate) and library-scoped actions - -### 3. **Domain Modularity Issues** - -- Action handlers separated from their domain logic -- No clear ownership of business logic per domain -- Job naming inconsistency (`delete_job.rs` vs `job.rs` in folders) - -## Target Architecture - -### Core Principles - -1. **Domain Modularity**: Each domain owns its complete story (actions + jobs + logic) -2. **Explicit Library Context**: Actions specify library_id when needed -3. **Consistent Structure**: Every domain follows the same pattern -4. **Clear Separation**: Global vs library-scoped actions -5. **Infrastructure vs Operations**: Framework code separate from business logic - -### Actions Module Move to Infrastructure - -The current `operations/actions/` module should be moved to `infrastructure/actions/` because it provides **framework functionality**, not business logic. This aligns with the existing infrastructure pattern: - -**Infrastructure modules provide frameworks/systems:** - -- `jobs/` - Job execution framework (traits, manager, registry, executor) -- `events/` - Event system framework (dispatching, handling) -- `database/` - Database access framework (entities, migrations, connections) -- `actions/` - Action dispatch and audit framework (manager, registry, audit logging) - -**Operations modules provide business logic:** - -- `files/` - File operation business logic (what to do with files) -- `locations/` - Location management business logic (how to manage locations) -- `indexing/` - Indexing business logic (how to index files) -- `media/` - Media processing business logic (how to process media) - -The actions module is pure infrastructure - it doesn't care about the specific business logic of copying files or managing locations. It only provides: - -- **ActionManager**: Central dispatch system -- **ActionRegistry**: Auto-discovery of action handlers -- **ActionHandler trait**: Interface for handling actions -- **Audit logging**: Framework for tracking all actions -- **Action enum**: Central registry of all available actions - -This creates a clean separation where: - -- **Infrastructure** provides the plumbing (how to dispatch, audit, execute) -- **Operations** provides the business logic (what to do with files, locations, etc.) - -Each domain operation implements the infrastructure's `ActionHandler` trait, similar to how jobs implement the `Job` trait from `infrastructure/jobs/`. The domain owns the business logic, but uses the infrastructure's framework for execution and audit logging. - -### Proposed Structure - -``` -src/infrastructure/ -├── actions/ # Core action system (framework only) -│ ├── manager.rs # Central dispatch + audit (fixed library routing) -│ ├── registry.rs # Auto-discovery via inventory -│ ├── handler.rs # ActionHandler trait -│ ├── receipt.rs # ActionReceipt types -│ ├── error.rs # ActionError types -│ └── mod.rs # Core Action enum (references domain actions) -├── jobs/ # Keep existing -├── events/ # Keep existing -├── database/ # Keep existing -└── cli/ # Keep existing -

The whitepaper indeed specifies a more powerful, dual-mode `SdPath` that is crucial for enabling resilient and intelligent file operations. The current implementation in the codebase represents only the physical addressing portion of that vision. - -Here is a design document detailing the refactor required to align the `SdPath` implementation with the whitepaper's architecture. - ---- - -## Refactor Design: Evolving `SdPath` to a Universal Content Address - -### 1. Introduction & Motivation - -[cite_start]The Spacedrive whitepaper, in section 4.1.3, introduces **`SdPath`** as a universal addressing system designed to make device boundaries transparent[cite: 172]. It explicitly defines `SdPath` as an `enum` supporting two distinct modes: - -- **`Physical`:** A direct pointer to a file at a specific path on a specific device. -- [cite_start]**`Content`:** An abstract, location-independent handle that refers to file content via its unique `ContentId`[cite: 173]. - -[cite_start]The current codebase implements `SdPath` as a `struct` representing only the physical path[cite: 1159], which is fragile. If the target device is offline, any operation using this `SdPath` will fail. - -This refactor will evolve the `SdPath` struct into the `enum` described in the whitepaper. [cite_start]This change is foundational to enabling many of Spacedrive's advanced features, including the **Simulation Engine**, resilient file operations, transparent failover, and optimal performance routing[cite: 182]. - ---- - -### 2. Current `SdPath` Implementation - -The existing implementation in `src/shared/types.rs` is a simple struct: - -```rust -[cite_start]// [cite: 1159] -#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Hash, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub struct SdPath { - pub device_id: Uuid, - pub path: PathBuf, -} -``` - -**Limitations:** - -- **Fragile:** It's a direct pointer. If `device_id` is offline, the path is useless. -- **Not Content-Aware:** It has no knowledge of the file's content, preventing intelligent operations like deduplication-aware transfers or sourcing identical content from a different online device. -- **Limited Abstraction:** It tightly couples file operations to a specific physical location. - ---- - -### 3. Proposed `SdPath` Refactor - -[cite_start]We will replace the `struct` with the `enum` exactly as specified in the whitepaper[cite: 173]. This provides a single, unified type for all pathing operations. - -#### 3.1. The New `SdPath` Enum - -The new implementation in `src/shared/types.rs` will be: - -```rust -[cite_start]// As described in the whitepaper [cite: 173] -#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Hash, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub enum SdPath { - Physical { - device_id: Uuid, - path: PathBuf, - }, - Content { - content_id: Uuid, // Or a dedicated ContentId type - }, -} -``` - -#### 3.2. Adapting Existing Methods - -The existing methods will be adapted to work on the `enum`: - -- `new(device_id, path)` becomes `SdPath::physical(device_id, path)`. -- `local(path)` remains a convenience function that creates a `Physical` variant with the current device's ID. -- `is_local()` will now perform a match: - ```rust - pub fn is_local(&self) -> bool { - match self { - SdPath::Physical { device_id, .. } => *device_id == get_current_device_id(), - SdPath::Content { .. } => false, // Content path is abstract, not inherently local - } - } - ``` -- `as_local_path()` will similarly only return `Some(&PathBuf)` for a local `Physical` variant. -- `display()` will format based on the variant, e.g., `sd:///path/to/file` for `Physical` and `sd://content/` for `Content`. - -#### 3.3. New Associated Functions - -- `SdPath::content(content_id: Uuid) -> Self`: A new constructor for creating content-aware paths. -- `SdPath::from_uri(uri: &str) -> Result`: A parser for string representations. -- `to_uri(&self) -> String`: The inverse of `from_uri`. - ---- - -### 4. The Path Resolution Service - -The power of the `Content` variant is unlocked by a **Path Resolution Service**. [cite_start]This service is responsible for implementing the "optimal path resolution" described in the whitepaper[cite: 178]. - -#### 4.1. Purpose - -The resolver's goal is to take any `SdPath` and return the best available `SdPath::Physical` instance that can be used to perform a file operation. - -#### 4.2. Implementation - -A new struct, `PathResolver`, will be introduced, and its methods will take the `CoreContext` to access the VDFS. A `resolve` method will be added directly to `SdPath` for convenience. - -```rust -// In src/shared/types.rs -impl SdPath { - pub async fn resolve( - &self, - context: &CoreContext - ) -> Result { - match self { - // If already physical, just verify the device is online. - SdPath::Physical { device_id, .. } => { - // ... logic to check device status via context.networking ... - if is_online { Ok(self.clone()) } - else { Err(PathResolutionError::DeviceOffline(*device_id)) } - } - // If content-based, find the optimal physical path. - SdPath::Content { content_id } => { - resolve_optimal_path(context, *content_id).await - } - } - } -} - -// In a new module, e.g., src/vdfs/resolver.rs -async fn resolve_optimal_path( - context: &CoreContext, - content_id: Uuid -) -> Result { - // 1. Get the current library's DB connection from context - let library = context.library_manager.get_active_library().await - .ok_or(PathResolutionError::NoActiveLibrary)?; - let db = library.db().conn(); - - // 2. Query the ContentIdentity table to find all Entries with this content_id - // ... SeaORM query to join content_identities -> entries -> locations -> devices ... - // This gives a list of all physical instances (device_id, path). - - [cite_start]// 3. Evaluate each candidate instance based on the cost function [cite: 179] - let mut candidates = Vec::new(); - // for instance in query_results { - // let cost = calculate_path_cost(&instance, context).await; - // candidates.push((cost, instance)); - // } - - // 4. Select the lowest-cost, valid path - candidates.sort_by(|a, b| a.0.cmp(&b.0)); - - if let Some((_, best_instance)) = candidates.first() { - Ok(SdPath::physical(best_instance.device_id, best_instance.path)) - } else { - Err(PathResolutionError::NoOnlineInstancesFound(content_id)) - } -} -``` - -#### 4.3. Error Handling - -A new error enum, `PathResolutionError`, will be created to handle failures, such as: - -- `NoOnlineInstancesFound(Uuid)` -- `DeviceOffline(Uuid)` -- `NoActiveLibrary` -- `DatabaseError(String)` - -#### 4.4. Performant Batch Resolution - -Resolving paths one-by-one in a loop is inefficient and would lead to the "N+1 query problem." A performant implementation must handle batches of paths by gathering all necessary data in as few queries as possible. - -**Algorithm:** - -1. **Partition:** Separate the input `Vec` into `physical_paths` and `content_paths`. -2. **Pre-computation:** Before querying the database, fetch live and cached metrics from the relevant system managers. - * Get a snapshot of all **online devices** and their network latencies from the `DeviceManager` and networking layer. - * Get a snapshot of all **volume metrics** (e.g., `PhysicalClass`, benchmarked speed) from the `VolumeManager`. -3. **Database Query:** - * Collect all unique `content_id`s from the `content_paths`. - * Execute a **single database query** using a `WHERE ... IN` clause to retrieve all physical instances for all requested `content_id`s. The query should join across tables to return tuples of `(content_id, device_id, volume_id, path)`. -4. **In-Memory Cost Calculation:** - * Group the database results by `content_id`. - * For each `content_id`, iterate through its potential physical instances. - * Filter out any instance on a device that the pre-computation step identified as offline. - * Calculate a `cost` for each remaining instance using the pre-computed device latencies and volume metrics. - * Select the instance with the lowest cost for each `content_id`. -5. **Assembly:** Combine the resolved `Content` paths with the verified `Physical` paths into the final result, perhaps returning a `HashMap>` to correlate original paths with their resolved states. - -**Implementation:** - -```rust -// In src/vdfs/resolver.rs - -pub struct PathResolver { - // ... context or manager handles ... -} - -impl PathResolver { - pub async fn resolve_batch( - &self, - paths: Vec - ) -> HashMap> { - // 1. Partition paths by variant (Physical vs. Content). - // 2. Pre-compute device online status and volume metrics in batch. - // 3. Collect all content_ids. - // 4. Execute single DB query to get all physical instances for all content_ids. - // 5. In memory, calculate costs and select the best instance for each content_id. - // 6. Verify physical paths against online device status. - // 7. Assemble and return the final HashMap. - unimplemented!() - } -} -``` - -This batch-oriented approach ensures that resolving many paths is highly efficient, avoiding repeated queries and leveraging in-memory lookups for the cost evaluation. - ---- - -### 4.5. PathResolver Integration - -The `PathResolver` is a core service and should be integrated into the application's central context. - -- **Location:** Create the new resolver at `src/operations/indexing/path_resolver.rs`. The existing `PathResolver` struct in that file, which only handles resolving `entry_id` to a `PathBuf`, should be merged into this new, more powerful service. -- **Integration:** An instance of the new `PathResolver` should be added to the `CoreContext` in `src/context.rs` to make it accessible to all actions and jobs. -- [cite_start]**Cost Function Parameters:** The "optimal path resolution" [cite: 178] should be guided by a cost function. The implementation should prioritize sources based on the following, in order: - 1. Is the source on the **local device**? (lowest cost) - 2. What is the **network latency** to the source's device? (from the `NetworkingService`) - 3. What is the **benchmarked speed** of the source's volume? (from the `VolumeManager`) - ---- - -### 5. Impact on the Codebase (Expanded) - -This refactor will touch every part of the codebase that handles file paths. The following instructions provide specific guidance for each affected area. - -#### 5.1. Action and Job Contracts - -The fundamental principle is that **Actions receive `SdPath`s, and Jobs resolve them.** - -1. **Action Definitions:** All action structs that currently accept `PathBuf` for file operations must be changed to accept `SdPath`. For example, in `src/operations/files/copy/action.rs`, `FileCopyAction` should be changed: - - ```rust - // src/operations/files/copy/action.rs - pub struct FileCopyAction { - // BEFORE: pub sources: Vec, - pub sources: Vec, // AFTER - // BEFORE: pub destination: PathBuf, - pub destination: SdPath, // AFTER - pub options: CopyOptions, - } - ``` - - This pattern applies to `FileDeleteAction`, `ValidationAction`, `DuplicateDetectionAction`, and others. - -2. **Job Execution Flow:** Any job that operates on files (e.g., `FileCopyJob`, `DeleteJob`) must begin its `run` method by resolving its `SdPath` members into physical paths. - - ```rust - // Example in src/operations/files/copy/job.rs - impl JobHandler for FileCopyJob { - async fn run(&mut self, ctx: JobContext<'_>) -> JobResult { - // 1. RESOLVE PATHS FIRST - let physical_destination = self.destination.resolve(&ctx).await?; - let mut physical_sources = Vec::new(); - for source in &self.sources.paths { - physical_sources.push(source.resolve(&ctx).await?); - } - - // ... existing logic now uses physical_sources and physical_destination ... - } - } - ``` - -3. **Operation Target Validity:** Explicit rules must be enforced within jobs for `SdPath` variants: - - - **Destination/Target:** Operations like copy, move, delete, validate, and index require a physical target. The job's `run` method must ensure the destination `SdPath` is or resolves to a `Physical` variant. An attempt to use a `Content` variant as a final destination is a logical error and should fail. - - **Source:** A source can be a `Content` variant, as the resolver will find a physical location for it. - -#### 5.2. API Layer (CLI Commands) - -To allow users to specify content-based paths, the CLI command layer must be updated to accept string URIs instead of just `PathBuf`. - -- **File:** `src/infrastructure/cli/daemon/types/commands.rs` -- **Action:** Change enums like `DaemonCommand::Copy` to use `Vec` instead of `Vec`. - ```rust - // src/infrastructure/cli/daemon/types/commands.rs - pub enum DaemonCommand { - // ... - Copy { - // BEFORE: sources: Vec, - sources: Vec, // AFTER (as URIs) - // BEFORE: destination: PathBuf, - destination: String, // AFTER (as a URI) - // ... options - }, - // ... - } - ``` -- The command handlers in `src/infrastructure/cli/daemon/handlers/` will then be responsible for parsing these string URIs into `SdPath` enums before creating and dispatching an `Action`. - -#### 5.3. Copy Strategy and Routing - -The copy strategy logic must be updated to be `SdPath` variant-aware. - -- **File:** `src/operations/files/copy/routing.rs` - -- **Action:** The `CopyStrategyRouter::select_strategy` function must be refactored. The core logic should be: - - 1. Resolve the source and destination `SdPath`s first. - 2. After resolution, both paths will be `SdPath::Physical`. - 3. Compare the `device_id` of the two `Physical` paths. - 4. If the `device_id`s are the same, use the `VolumeManager` to check if they are on the same volume and select `LocalMoveStrategy` or `LocalStreamCopyStrategy`. - 5. If the `device_id`s differ, select `RemoteTransferStrategy`. - -- **File:** `src/operations/files/copy/strategy.rs` - -- **Action:** The strategy implementations (`LocalMoveStrategy`, `LocalStreamCopyStrategy`) currently call `.as_local_path()`. This is unsafe. They should be modified to only accept resolved, physical paths. Their signatures can be changed, or they should `match` on the `SdPath` variant and return an error if it is not `Physical`. - -### 6. Example Usage (Before & After) - -[cite_start]This example, adapted from the whitepaper, shows how resilience is achieved[cite: 174]. - -#### Before: - -```rust -// Fragile: Fails if source_path.device_id is offline -async fn copy_files(source_path: SdPath, target_path: SdPath) -> Result<()> { - // ... direct p2p transfer logic using source_path ... - Ok(()) -} -``` - -#### After: - -```rust -// Resilient: Finds an alternative online source automatically -async fn copy_files( - source: SdPath, - target: SdPath, - context: &CoreContext -) -> Result<()> { - // Resolve the source path to an optimal, available physical location - let physical_source = source.resolve(context).await?; - - // ... p2p transfer logic using the resolved physical_source ... - Ok(()) -} -``` - ---- - -### 7. Conclusion - -Refactoring `SdPath` from a simple `struct` to the dual-mode `enum` is a critical step in realizing the full architectural vision of Spacedrive. It replaces a fragile pointer system with a resilient, content-aware abstraction. This change directly enables the promised features of transparent failover and performance optimization, and it provides the necessary foundation for the **Simulation Engine** and other advanced, AI-native capabilities. diff --git a/docs/core/design/SDPATH_REFACTOR_COVERAGE.md b/docs/core/design/SDPATH_REFACTOR_COVERAGE.md deleted file mode 100644 index 89a7393e7..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/SDPATH_REFACTOR_COVERAGE.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,184 +0,0 @@ -# Guidance for SdPath Refactoring - -This document provides a comprehensive guide for refactoring existing `PathBuf` usages to `SdPath` throughout the Spacedrive codebase. The goal is to fully leverage `SdPath`'s content-addressing and cross-device capabilities, ensuring consistency, resilience, and future extensibility of file operations. - -## 1. Core Architectural Principles - -The Spacedrive core architecture is structured around three main pillars: - -* **`src/domain` (The Nouns):** Defines the passive, core data structures and types of the system. These are the "things" the system operates on. -* **`src/operations` (The Verbs):** Contains the active logic and business rules. These modules orchestrate actions using domain entities and infrastructure. -* **`src/infrastructure` (The Plumbing):** Provides concrete implementations for external interactions (e.g., database access, networking, CLI parsing, filesystem I/O). - -### SdPath and PathResolver Placement - -* **`SdPath` (`src/domain/addressing.rs`):** `SdPath` is a fundamental data structure representing a path within the VDFS. It is a "noun" and belongs in the `domain` layer. -* **`PathResolver` (`src/operations/addressing.rs`):** The `PathResolver` is a service that performs the "resolve" operation on `SdPath`s. It's active logic, a "verb," and thus belongs in the `operations` layer. - -This separation ensures high cohesion and a clear, one-way dependency flow (`Operations` depend on `Domain` and `Infrastructure`; `Domain` and `Infrastructure` are independent). - -## 2. Understanding SdPath - -`SdPath` is an enum designed for universal file addressing: - -```rust -pub enum SdPath { - // A direct pointer to a file at a specific path on a specific device - Physical { - device_id: Uuid, - path: PathBuf, - }, - // An abstract, location-independent handle that refers to file content - Content { - content_id: Uuid, - }, -} -``` - -### Universal URI Scheme - -`SdPath` instances can be represented as standardized URI strings for external interfaces (CLI, API, UI): - -* **Physical Path:** `sd:///path/to/file` -* **Content Path:** `sd://content/` - -The `SdPath::from_uri(&str)` and `SdPath::to_uri(&self)` methods handle this conversion. - -## 3. PathResolver's Role - -The `PathResolver` service is responsible for: - -* Taking any `SdPath` (especially `Content` variants) and resolving it to the "best" available `SdPath::Physical` instance. -* Considering factors like device online status, network latency, and volume performance (cost function). -* Performing resolution efficiently, ideally in batches (`resolve_batch`). - -**Crucial Rule:** `SdPath`s are resolved to `Physical` paths *just before* a file operation is executed (typically within a Job handler). - -## 4. Refactoring Guidelines: When to Convert PathBuf to SdPath - -When encountering a `PathBuf` usage, determine its purpose: - -### Convert to `SdPath` (High Priority) - -Replace `PathBuf` with `SdPath` in the following contexts: - -* **Action Definitions (`src/operations/*/action.rs`):** Any action that takes file paths as input or produces them as output. - * **Example:** `FileCopyAction`, `FileDeleteAction`, `IndexingAction`, `ThumbnailAction`. - * **Rule:** `pub sources: Vec`, `pub destination: SdPath`. -* **Job Inputs/Outputs (`src/operations/*/job.rs`):** The `Job` struct's fields that represent paths to be operated on. - * **Rule:** `pub source_path: SdPath`, `pub target_path: SdPath`. -* **CLI Command Arguments (`src/infrastructure/cli/daemon/types/commands.rs`):** Command-line arguments that represent file paths should be `String` (URIs) at this layer. The CLI handlers will then parse these `String`s into `SdPath`s. - * **Example:** `Copy { sources: Vec, destination: String }`. -* **API Layer (GraphQL, REST):** Similar to CLI, external API inputs/outputs for paths should be `String` (URIs). -* **Events (`src/infrastructure/events/mod.rs`):** Events describing file system changes that involve `SdPath` concepts (e.g., `EntryMoved { old_path: SdPath, new_path: SdPath }`). -* **File Sharing (`src/services/file_sharing.rs`):** Paths involved in cross-device file transfers. - -### Keep as `PathBuf` (Lower Priority / Appropriate Usage) - -Retain `PathBuf` in the following contexts: - -* **Low-Level Filesystem Interactions (`std::fs`, `std::io`):** When directly interacting with the local operating system's filesystem APIs. - * **Example:** Reading file contents, checking `file.exists()`, `file.is_dir()`, creating directories. - * **Rule:** These operations should only occur *after* an `SdPath` has been resolved to a `SdPath::Physical` variant, and then `SdPath::as_local_path()` is used to get the `&Path` or `&PathBuf`. -* **Temporary Files/Directories:** Paths to temporary files or scratch space that are local to the current process or device. -* **Configuration Paths:** Paths to application data directories, log files, configuration files, or internal database files (e.g., `data_dir`, `log_file`). -* **Mount Points/Volume Roots:** When referring to the absolute, local filesystem path of a mounted volume or a location's root directory. -* **Internal Indexer Scans:** The initial discovery phase of the indexer, which directly traverses the local filesystem, will still operate on `PathBuf`. These `PathBuf`s are then converted into `SdPath::Physical` when creating `Entry` records. - -## 5. Implementation Details and Best Practices - -### 5.1. Action and Job Contracts - -* **Action Definitions:** - * Change `PathBuf` fields to `SdPath`. - * Update `Into` generics in builder methods to `Into`. - * **Example (`src/operations/files/copy/action.rs`):** - ```rust - pub struct FileCopyAction { - pub sources: Vec, - pub destination: SdPath, - pub options: CopyOptions, - } - - // Builder method example: - pub fn sources(mut self, sources: I) -> Self - where - I: IntoIterator, - P: Into, // Changed from PathBuf - { /* ... */ } - ``` -* **Job Execution Flow:** - * Any job that operates on files **MUST** resolve its `SdPath` members to `Physical` paths at the beginning of its `run` method. - * Use `SdPath::resolve_with(&self, resolver, context)` for single paths or `PathResolver::resolve_batch` for multiple paths. - * **Example (`src/operations/files/copy/job.rs`):** - ```rust - impl JobHandler for FileCopyJob { - async fn run(&mut self, ctx: JobContext<'_>) -> JobResult { - // 1. RESOLVE PATHS FIRST - let resolver = ctx.core_context().path_resolver(); // Assuming resolver is in CoreContext - let resolved_destination = self.destination.resolve_with(&resolver, ctx.core_context()).await?; - let resolved_sources_map = resolver.resolve_batch(self.sources.paths.clone(), ctx.core_context()).await; - - // Extract successful resolutions - let physical_sources: Vec = resolved_sources_map.into_iter() - .filter_map(|(_, res)| res.ok()) - .collect(); - - // Ensure destination is physical - let physical_destination = match resolved_destination { - SdPath::Physical { .. } => resolved_destination, - _ => return Err(JobError::Validation("Destination must resolve to a physical path".to_string())), - }; - - // ... existing logic now uses physical_sources and physical_destination ... - // Access underlying PathBuf: physical_path.as_local_path().expect("Must be local physical path") - } - } - ``` -* **Operation Target Validity:** - * **Destination/Target:** Operations like copy, move, delete, validate, and index require a physical target. The job's `run` method must ensure the destination `SdPath` is or resolves to a `Physical` variant. An attempt to use a `Content` variant as a final destination is a logical error and should fail. - * **Source:** A source can be a `Content` variant, as the resolver will find a physical location for it. - -### 5.2. CLI Layer - -* **Command Definitions (`src/infrastructure/cli/daemon/types/commands.rs`):** - * Change `PathBuf` fields to `String` (representing URIs). - * **Example:** - ```rust - pub enum DaemonCommand { - Copy { - sources: Vec, // AFTER (as URIs) - destination: String, // AFTER (as a URI) - // ... options - }, - } - ``` -* **Command Handlers (`src/infrastructure/cli/daemon/handlers/`):** - * Responsible for parsing these `String` URIs into `SdPath` enums *before* creating and dispatching an `Action`. - * Handle `SdPathParseError` gracefully. - -### 5.3. Copy Strategy and Routing - -* **`src/operations/files/copy/routing.rs`:** - * The `CopyStrategyRouter::select_strategy` function must be refactored. - * **Rule:** It should receive *already resolved* `SdPath::Physical` instances for source and destination. - * Compare the `device_id` of the two `Physical` paths. - * If `device_id`s are the same, use `VolumeManager` to check if they are on the same volume and select `LocalMoveStrategy` or `LocalStreamCopyStrategy`. - * If `device_id`s differ, select `RemoteTransferStrategy`. -* **`src/operations/files/copy/strategy.rs`:** - * Strategy implementations (`LocalMoveStrategy`, `LocalStreamCopyStrategy`, `RemoteTransferStrategy`) should only accept `SdPath::Physical` variants. - * Their internal logic will then use `SdPath::as_local_path()` to get the underlying `PathBuf` for `std::fs` operations. - -## 6. Common Pitfalls and Considerations - -* **N+1 Query Problem:** Always prioritize batch resolution (`PathResolver::resolve_batch`) when dealing with multiple paths to minimize database and network round-trips. -* **Error Handling:** Ensure `PathResolutionError` and `SdPathParseError` are propagated and handled appropriately. -* **Validation Shift:** Remember that filesystem-level validations (e.g., `path.exists()`) should generally occur *after* path resolution within the job execution, not during action creation. -* **Testing:** Update unit and integration tests to: - * Construct `SdPath` instances using `SdPath::physical`, `SdPath::content`, `SdPath::local`, or `SdPath::from_uri`. - * Assert on the correct `SdPath` variant and its internal fields. - * Mock or simulate `PathResolver` behavior for unit tests where appropriate. -* **Performance:** The cost function within `PathResolver` is critical for performance. Ensure it accurately reflects real-world latency and bandwidth. -* **`SdPathBatch`:** This helper struct can be useful for grouping `SdPath`s, especially when passing them to `PathResolver::resolve_batch`. - -By following these guidelines, the codebase will evolve to fully embrace the power and flexibility of `SdPath`, making Spacedrive's file management truly content-aware and resilient. diff --git a/docs/core/design/SEARCH_DESIGN.md b/docs/core/design/SEARCH_DESIGN.md deleted file mode 100644 index 96607a2cd..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/SEARCH_DESIGN.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1447 +0,0 @@ -# Lightning Search: Next-Generation File Discovery for Spacedrive - -Note: in recent versions of the whitepaper we now refer to search as "Temporal-Sematic Search", or simply just "search". - -## Overview - -Lightning Search is a revolutionary multi-modal file discovery system designed specifically for Spacedrive's VDFS (Virtual Distributed File System) architecture.

Unified Search Orchestrator & The Progressive Search Lifecycle - -The `LightningSearchEngine` acts as a lightweight orchestrator. Its primary role is to dispatch a `SearchJob` that follows a **Progressive Enhancement Lifecycle**. This model ensures users receive instant results which are then intelligently refined in the background. - -A single user query triggers a multi-stage job that can progress through several power levels, emitting updates as more relevant results are found. - -#### The `SearchMode` Enum - -The `SearchMode` now represents the internal power level or stage of a search. - -```rust -pub enum SearchMode { - /// Fast, metadata-only FTS5 search on filenames and extensions. - Fast, - /// Adds VSS-based semantic re-ranking to the fast results. - Normal, - /// A comprehensive search that may include more expensive operations - /// like on-demand content analysis or expanded candidate sets. - Full, -} -``` - -#### The Phased Search Lifecycle - -1. **Dispatch:** A `SearchRequest` is received. The `LightningSearchEngine` creates and dispatches a `SearchJob`. - -2. **Phase 1: `Fast` Search (Instant Results)** - - - The job immediately runs the `Fast` search (FTS5 on metadata). - - Within ~50ms, the initial results are cached and a `SearchResultsReady(result_id)` event is sent to the UI. - - **The user sees instant results for any matching filenames.** - -3. **Phase 2: `Normal` Search (Background Enhancement)** - - - After Phase 1 completes, the job analyzes the query and initial results. - - If the query appears semantic or the `Fast` results are ambiguous, the job automatically promotes itself to the `Normal` stage. - - It re-ranks the results using VSS embedding sidecars. - - When complete, it **updates the existing cached result set** for the same `result_id` and sends a `SearchResultsUpdated(result_id)` event. - - **The UI seamlessly re-sorts the results list, bringing more relevant files to the top.** - -4. **Phase 3: `Full` Search (Optional Deep Dive)** - - This phase can be triggered by explicit user action (e.g., a "search deeper" button) or by an AI agent. - - It may perform more expensive operations, like expanding the candidate pool for semantic search. - - Like Phase 2, it updates the cached results when complete. - -### 6. Search Result Caching: A Device-Local Filesystem Approach - -To ensure a fast experience and avoid re-computing searches, Spacedrive uses a scalable, device-local caching strategy. The cache is ephemeral and is **never synced between devices**. - -This solution has three components: - -1. **Cache Directory (Non-Syncing)** - - - The cache lives outside the portable `.sdlibrary` directory, in a standard system cache location, ensuring it is never synced or backed up. - - Example: `~/.cache/spacedrive/libraries/{library_id}/search/` - -2. **Result Files (Binary)** - - - The ordered list of `entry_id`s for a search is stored in a compact binary file (e.g., a raw array of `i64`s). - - The filename is the unique `query_hash` of the search request (e.g., `.../search/a1b2c3d4.../results.bin`). - - This scales to millions of results and allows for extremely efficient pagination by seeking to the required offset in the file without loading the entire list into memory. - -3. **Cache Index (Local Database)** - - A tiny, separate SQLite database (`cache_index.db`) is kept in the cache directory to manage the result files. - - This database is also local and never synced. It contains a single table to provide fast lookups for cached results. - - **Schema:** - ```sql - -- In: cache_index.db - CREATE TABLE cached_searches ( - query_hash TEXT PRIMARY KEY, - result_count INTEGER NOT NULL, - created_at TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')), - expires_at TEXT NOT NULL - ); - ``` - -This architecture strictly separates durable, syncable library data from ephemeral, device-local cache data, providing a robust and scalable caching solution. - -## Virtual Sidecar File System (Core) - -### Concept Overview - -The Virtual Sidecar File System is the source of truth for derived intelligence. It maintains atomic links to files inline with the filesystem and enables automatic, transparent embedding generation and search capabilities.

-2. **Sidecar Generation** - - - Jobs run asynchronously, creating text and embedding sidecars and populating the necessary database tables (`sidecars`, `sidecar_availability`). - -3. **Progressive Search Execution (`SearchJob`)** - - The job starts with a `Fast` search (FTS5) and immediately returns results to the UI. - - It then automatically enhances the results in the background by progressing to a `Normal` search (semantic re-ranking), issuing updates to the UI as better results are found. - - An optional `Full` search can be triggered for the most comprehensive results. - - All results are managed in the device-local cache. - -## Conclusion - -Lightning Search represents a paradigm shift in file discovery technology, combining the speed of traditional search with the intelligence of modern AI. By leveraging Spacedrive's unique VDFS architecture and implementing a temporal-first, vector-enhanced approach, we create a search experience that is both lightning-fast and remarkably intelligent. - -The virtual sidecar file system provides a path toward even more seamless integration, where search becomes an invisible, automatic capability that enhances every aspect of file management. This design positions Spacedrive as the most advanced file management platform available, with search capabilities that surpass even dedicated search engines. - -The implementation roadmap provides a clear path from basic temporal search to advanced semantic understanding, ensuring that each phase delivers immediate value while building toward the ultimate vision of transparent, intelligent file discovery. diff --git a/docs/core/design/SEMANTIC_TAGGING_IMPLEMENTATION.md b/docs/core/design/SEMANTIC_TAGGING_IMPLEMENTATION.md deleted file mode 100644 index 09ea68f81..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/SEMANTIC_TAGGING_IMPLEMENTATION.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,548 +0,0 @@ -# Semantic Tagging Architecture Implementation - -## Overview - -This document outlines the implementation of the advanced semantic tagging system described in the Spacedrive whitepaper.

Reduced Main Database Churn -The `library.db` contains the user's canonical, organized data. Sidecar availability is volatile and cache-like. Separating them prevents frequent availability updates from fragmenting or locking the main database, ensuring core operations remain fast. - -#### 2. Improved Sync Flexibility -Different synchronization strategies can be applied: -- `library.db`: Robust, consistency-focused sync protocols -- `availability.db`: Frequent, eventually-consistent, gossip-style sync - -#### 3. Enhanced Portability -A low-power mobile device can sync only the `library.db` to save space and bandwidth, giving access to all core metadata while gracefully degrading availability knowledge. - -#### 4. Simplified Backup & Recovery -- `library.db`: Clean, lean representation of user's primary data -- `availability.db`: Rebuildable cache that can be reconstructed from sync partners -- Backups become smaller and more focused on essential data - -#### 5.

Based on a thorough review of the Spacedrive whitepaper and the provided Rust codebase, here is a detailed design document for the Simulation Engine. This design aims for a clean, non-disruptive integration that leverages the existing architectural patterns. - ---- - -# Design Document: The Spacedrive Simulation Engine - -## 1\. Executive Summary - -The Spacedrive whitepaper outlines a key innovation: a **Transactional Action System with Pre-visualization**. This system allows any file operation to be simulated in a "dry run" mode, providing users with a detailed preview of the outcome—including space savings, conflicts, and time estimates—before committing to the action. - -This document details the design and integration of the **Simulation Engine**, the core component responsible for generating these previews. The engine will be integrated directly into the existing `Action` infrastructure, operating on the VDFS index as a read-only source of truth. It will produce a structured `ActionPlan` that can be consumed by any client (GUI, CLI, TUI) to render the pre-visualization described in the whitepaper. - -**Core Principles:** - -- **Index-First:** The simulation relies exclusively on the library's database index and volume metadata, never touching the actual files on disk. -- **Read-Only:** The simulation process is strictly a read-only operation, guaranteeing it has no side effects. -- **Handler-Based Logic:** The simulation logic for each action type (e.g., `FileCopy`, `FileDelete`) will be encapsulated within its corresponding `ActionHandler`, ensuring modularity and extensibility. - -## 2\. Goals and Core Concepts - -The primary goal is to build an engine that can take any `Action` and produce a detailed, verifiable plan of execution. - -- **Action Plan:** The structured output of the simulation. It contains a summary, a list of steps, estimated metrics, and any potential conflicts. -- **Simulation vs. Execution:** Simulation is the predictive, read-only process that generates an `ActionPlan`. Execution is the "commit" phase where the `ActionManager` dispatches a job to perform the actual file operations. -- **Path Resolution:** A precursor to simulation. Given a content-aware or physical `SdPath`, this step determines the optimal physical source path(s) for the operation based on device availability, network latency, and storage tier. - -The engine must achieve the following goals outlined in the whitepaper: - -1. **Conflict Detection:** Proactively identify issues like insufficient storage, permission errors, and path conflicts. -2. **Resource Prediction:** Provide accurate estimates for storage changes, network usage, and completion time. -3. **State Pre-visualization:** Clearly articulate the final state of the filesystem after the action completes. -4. **Safety and User Control:** Empower the user to make an informed decision before any irreversible changes are made. - -## 3\. Architectural Integration - -The Simulation Engine will be integrated into the existing `Action` system with minimal disruption. The current action lifecycle is `validate -> execute`. We will introduce `simulate` as a distinct, preliminary step. - -### 3.1. New Action Lifecycle - -1. **Client (UI/CLI):** Creates an `Action` struct (e.g., `FileCopyAction`). -2. **Client:** Calls a new `action_manager.simulate(action)` method. -3. **Simulation Engine:** - - Resolves all source `SdPath`s to their optimal physical paths. - - Invokes the `simulate` method on the appropriate `ActionHandler`. - - The handler queries the VDFS index and volume metadata via the `CoreContext`. - - The handler returns a structured `ActionPlan`. -4. **Client:** Renders the `ActionPlan` for user review (as seen in Figure 8 of the whitepaper). -5. **User:** Approves the plan. -6. **Client:** Calls the existing `action_manager.dispatch(action)` method to commit the operation. -7. **ActionManager:** Dispatches the action to the Durable Job System for execution. - -### 3.2. Key Component Modifications - -#### `ActionHandler` Trait (`src/infrastructure/actions/handler.rs`) - -The `ActionHandler` trait is the ideal place to encapsulate simulation logic. A new `simulate` method will be added. - -```rust -#[async_trait] -pub trait ActionHandler: Send + Sync { - /// Execute the action and return output - async fn execute(...) -> ActionResult; - - /// Validate the action before execution (optional) - async fn validate(...) -> ActionResult<()>; - - /// **[NEW]** Simulate the action and return a detailed plan - async fn simulate( - &self, - context: Arc, - action: &Action, - ) -> ActionResult; - - /// Check if this handler can handle the given action - fn can_handle(&self, action: &Action) -> bool; - - /// Get the action kinds this handler supports - fn supported_actions() -> &'static [&'static str]; -} -``` - -#### `ActionManager` (`src/infrastructure/actions/manager.rs`) - -A new public `simulate` method will be the primary entry point for the engine. - -```rust -impl ActionManager { - /// **[NEW]** Simulate an action to generate a preview. - pub async fn simulate( - &self, - action: Action, - ) -> ActionResult { - // 1. Find the correct handler in the registry - let handler = REGISTRY - .get(action.kind()) - .ok_or_else(|| ActionError::ActionNotRegistered(action.kind().to_string()))?; - - // 2. Perform initial validation - handler.validate(self.context.clone(), &action).await?; - - // 3. Execute the simulation - handler.simulate(self.context.clone(), &action).await - } - - /// Dispatch an action for execution (existing method) - pub async fn dispatch(...) -> ActionResult { - // ... existing implementation ... - } -} -``` - -#### `SdPath` & `SdPathBatch` (`src/shared/types.rs`) - -As requested, these structs will gain a `resolve` method to find the optimal physical path. This will be used by the simulation engine. - -```rust -// In SdPath struct -impl SdPath { - /// Resolves the SdPath to the optimal physical path. - /// For content-aware paths, this performs a lookup. - /// For physical paths, it verifies availability. - pub async fn resolve( - &self, - context: &CoreContext - ) -> Result { - // ... logic using VolumeManager and NetworkService ... - } -} - -// In SdPathBatch struct -impl SdPathBatch { - /// Resolves all paths in the batch. - pub async fn resolve_all( - &self, - context: &CoreContext - ) -> Result, PathResolutionError> { - // ... parallel resolution logic ... - } -} -``` - -## 4\. New Data Structures - -To support the simulation, several new data structures are required to model the `ActionPlan`. - -#### `ActionPlan` - -This is the primary output of the simulation. It contains all information needed for the UI to render a preview. - -```rust -/// A detailed, structured plan of an action's effects. -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub struct ActionPlan { - /// A high-level, human-readable summary. - /// e.g., "Move 1,224 unique files (8.1 GB) to Home-NAS" - pub summary: String, - - /// A step-by-step breakdown of the physical operations. - pub steps: Vec, - - /// Estimated metrics for the operation. - pub metrics: EstimatedMetrics, - - /// A list of potential conflicts or issues detected. - pub warnings: Vec, - - /// A simple flag indicating if the operation is considered safe to proceed. - pub is_safe: bool, -} -``` - -#### `ExecutionStep` - -An enum representing a single, atomic operation within the plan. - -```rust -/// A single physical step in the execution of an action. -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub enum ExecutionStep { - Read { - source: SdPath, - size: u64, - }, - Transfer { - source_device: Uuid, - destination_device: Uuid, - size: u64, - }, - Write { - destination: SdPath, - size: u64, - }, - Delete { - target: SdPath, - is_permanent: bool, - }, - Skip { - target: SdPath, - reason: String, // e.g., "Duplicate content exists at destination" - }, -} -``` - -#### `EstimatedMetrics` - -A struct to hold all predicted metrics for the operation. - -```rust -/// Predicted metrics for an action. -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub struct EstimatedMetrics { - pub files_to_process: u64, - pub total_size_bytes: u64, - pub duplicate_files_skipped: u64, - pub duplicate_size_bytes_saved: u64, - pub required_space_bytes: u64, - pub estimated_duration_secs: u64, - pub estimated_network_usage_bytes: u64, -} -``` - -#### `ConflictWarning` - -An enum representing potential issues the user should be aware of. - -```rust -/// A potential conflict or issue detected during simulation. -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub enum ConflictWarning { - InsufficientSpace { - destination: SdPath, - required: u64, - available: u64, - }, - PermissionDenied { - path: SdPath, - operation: String, // "read" or "write" - }, - DestinationExists { - path: SdPath, - }, - SourceIsOffline { - device_id: Uuid, - }, - PerformanceMismatch { - message: String, // e.g., "This targets a 'hot' location on a slow archive drive." - }, -} -``` - -## 5\. The Simulation Process in Detail: A `FileCopy` Example - -Let's trace a `FileCopyAction` for a cross-device move, as described in the whitepaper. - -1. **User Intent:** The user initiates a move of `~/Photos/2024` from their MacBook to `/backups/photos` on their `Home-NAS`. - -2. **Action Creation:** The client creates an `Action::FileCopy` with `delete_after_copy: true`. - -3. **Simulation Request:** The client calls `action_manager.simulate(action)`. - -4. **Handler Invocation:** The `ActionManager` finds the `FileCopyHandler` and calls its `simulate` method. - -5. **Simulation Logic within `FileCopyHandler::simulate`:** - a. **Path Resolution:** The handler calls `sources.resolve_all(&context)`. This resolves the `~/Photos/2024` directory into a list of all physical file paths within it by querying the library's index for that location. - b. **Data Gathering:** The handler uses the `CoreContext` to gather necessary information: \* From `VolumeManager`: Gets the `PhysicalClass` (e.g., `Hot` for the MacBook's SSD, `Cold` for the NAS HDD) and available space on both source and destination volumes. \* From `NetworkingService`: Gets the current bandwidth and latency between the MacBook and the NAS. \* From the Library DB: For each source file, it looks up the `ContentId`. For each `ContentId`, it queries if an entry already exists at the destination. - c. **Build Execution Steps & Metrics:** \* It iterates through the resolved source paths. \* For a file that is a duplicate at the destination, it creates a `ExecutionStep::Skip` and adds its size to `duplicate_size_bytes_saved`. \* For a unique file, it creates `ExecutionStep::Read`, `ExecutionStep::Transfer`, and `ExecutionStep::Write` steps. It also adds a `ExecutionStep::Delete` because this is a move operation. \* It aggregates the total size of files to be processed into `total_size_bytes`. - d. **Conflict & Performance Checks:** \* It compares `total_size_bytes` with the available space on the NAS. If insufficient, it adds a `ConflictWarning::InsufficientSpace`. \* It compares the `LogicalClass` of the source/destination locations with the `PhysicalClass` of the volumes. If there's a mismatch (e.g., a "Hot" location on a "Cold" drive), it adds a `ConflictWarning::PerformanceMismatch`. - e. **Estimate Duration:** It uses the total size, volume performance metrics, and network metrics to calculate `estimated_duration_secs`. - f. **Assemble `ActionPlan`:** It packages all the generated steps, metrics, and warnings into a final `ActionPlan` object. - -6. **Return to Client:** The `ActionPlan` is returned to the client, which can now render a detailed, interactive preview for the user, fulfilling the vision of the whitepaper. - -## 6\. Implementation Snippets - -#### `src/infrastructure/actions/handler.rs` (Modified `ActionHandler` trait) - -```rust -// ... -use crate::infrastructure::actions::plan::ActionPlan; // New module - -#[async_trait] -pub trait ActionHandler: Send + Sync { - async fn execute( - &self, - context: Arc, - action: Action, - ) -> ActionResult; - - async fn validate( - &self, - _context: Arc, - _action: &Action, - ) -> ActionResult<()> { - Ok(()) - } - - /// **[NEW]** - async fn simulate( - &self, - context: Arc, - action: &Action, - ) -> ActionResult; - - fn can_handle(&self, action: &Action) -> bool; - - fn supported_actions() -> &'static [&'static str] where Self: Sized; -} -``` - -#### `src/operations/files/copy/handler.rs` (Example implementation) - -```rust -// ... -use crate::infrastructure::actions::plan::{ActionPlan, ExecutionStep, EstimatedMetrics, ConflictWarning}; - -#[async_trait] -impl ActionHandler for FileCopyHandler { - // ... existing execute and validate methods ... - - async fn simulate( - &self, - context: Arc, - action: &Action, - ) -> ActionResult { - if let Action::FileCopy { action, .. } = action { - let mut steps = Vec::new(); - let mut warnings = Vec::new(); - let mut metrics = EstimatedMetrics::default(); - - // 1. Resolve source paths from the index - // ... logic to get all individual file SdPaths from source directories ... - - // 2. Gather context - let destination_volume = context.volume_manager - .volume_for_path(&action.destination) - .await; - - // 3. Process each file - // for source_path in resolved_sources { - // a. Check for duplicates at destination via ContentId - // b. Check for space on destination_volume - // c. Add ExecutionSteps (Read, Transfer, Write, Delete/Skip) - // d. Aggregate metrics - // } - - // 4. Finalize plan - Ok(ActionPlan { - summary: format!("Simulated moving {} files", metrics.files_to_process), - steps, - metrics, - warnings, - is_safe: true, // Set based on warnings - }) - } else { - Err(ActionError::InvalidActionType) - } - } -} -``` - -## 7\. Future Considerations - -- **UI Integration:** The `ActionPlan` struct is designed to be easily serialized to JSON, making it straightforward for any frontend to consume and render. -- **Complex Workflows:** AI-generated actions that involve multiple steps can be represented as a `Vec`, allowing the user to review a complete, multi-stage workflow before committing. -- **Undo/Redo:** A committed and executed `ActionPlan` can be stored in the audit log. This provides a perfect artifact for generating a compensatory "undo" action, paving the way for intelligent undo capabilities as described in the whitepaper. diff --git a/docs/core/design/SPACEDRIVE_COMPLETE_OVERVIEW.md b/docs/core/design/SPACEDRIVE_COMPLETE_OVERVIEW.md deleted file mode 100644 index 5ec9b3b36..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/SPACEDRIVE_COMPLETE_OVERVIEW.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,686 +0,0 @@ -# Spacedrive: Complete Technical Overview - -_A comprehensive analysis of the Spacedrive ecosystem, covering the core rewrite, cloud infrastructure, and the path to production._ - -## Table of Contents - -1.

Unlike the device pairing system which establishes long-term relationships between owned devices, Spacedrop enables secure, ephemeral file sharing between any two devices with user consent. - -## Architecture Principles - -### 1. **Ephemeral Security** -- No long-term device relationships required -- Perfect forward secrecy for each file transfer -- Session keys derived per transfer, not per device pairing - -### 2. **Proximity-Based Discovery** -- Local network discovery (mDNS) for immediate availability -- DHT fallback for internet-wide discovery when needed -- User-friendly device names and avatars -

Overview - -This document outlines the design for the refreshed **Spacedrive UI**, a next-generation user interface for monitoring and managing all background tasks and system operations. Inspired by the file transfer dialogs in native operating systems, the UI reimagines this concept as a beautiful, interactive, and radically transparent "mission control" for the entire VDFS. - -It provides a single, unified view of file operations, compute jobs (indexing, thumbnailing), real-time sync status, and actions taken by AI agents. - -## 2. Design Principles - -- **Radical Transparency:** Expose all system operations—whether initiated by the user, the system, or an AI agent—in a beautiful and understandable way. -- **Aesthetic Excellence:** Create a UI that is not just functional but "gorgeous" and desirable to have open on a desktop. -- **Interactive & Dynamic:** The UI is not a static list. It is a live window into the system with animated graphs, real-time metrics, and fluid interactions. -- **Modular & Composable:** Core UI components are designed to be assembled in different ways, allowing for a native multi-window experience on desktop and a sophisticated single-page experience on the web. -- **Unified View:** Consolidate file operations, sync status, compute jobs, and agent activity into a single, coherent interface. - -## 3. Architectural Components of the UI - -The UI is composed of three main components that work together to create a rich, informative experience. - -### 3.1. The Live Resource Component - -This is the iconic element at the top of the view, providing an at-a-glance summary of system resource usage. - -- **Structure:** A set of sleek, minimalist bars, each representing a key resource: - - **Network:** Combined upload/download activity. - - **Disk:** Read/write activity across all tracked locations. - - **CPU/Compute:** Usage for intensive tasks like indexing or transcoding. - - **Sync:** The rate of synchronization operations between devices. -- **Interaction:** - - At rest, the bars show a subtle, real-time percentage of usage. - - On click or hover, a bar fluidly **expands horizontally to fill the width of the view.** This reveals a beautiful, animated historical graph of that resource's usage, with the current transfer/processing speed as the primary, bold metric. - -### 3.2. The Unified Event Stream - -A chronological, and infinitely scrollable timeline of every significant event occurring across the VDFS. This is the user-facing view of the Action System. - -- **Content:** Each item in the stream is an "event card" representing a single action, clearly distinguished by icons and context: - - **File Operations:** `[Copy Icon] Copied 3,402 items from 'iPhone' to 'NAS'.` - - **Compute Jobs:** `[Index Icon] Indexing '~/Documents' finished.` - - **Agent Actions:** `[Agent Avatar] AI Assistant is organizing 'Project Phoenix'...` - - **Sharing:** `[Spacedrop Icon] Sent 'presentation.mov' to 'Colleague's MacBook'.` -- **Interaction:** - - Events appear in real-time as they are dispatched by the backend. - - Clicking on any event card smoothly navigates the user to the **Detailed Job View** for that specific action. - -### 3.3. The Detailed Job View - -This is the drill-down view for a single job or action. - -- **Structure:** It's a focused view that combines the other two components. - - At the top, it features the **Live Resource Dashboard**, but now **scoped to show only the resources being used by that specific job**. - - Below, it shows detailed progress (e.g., a file list, percentage complete, ETA), logs, and controls (Pause, Resume, Cancel). - -## 4. The Composable UI Philosophy - -This design embraces a modular, "post-tab" interface that can be adapted for different platforms. - -### 4.1. Multi-Window Experience - -- **On Desktop (macOS, Windows):** The Activity Center can be a primary window, a menu bar applet, or individual job views can be "popped out" into their own separate, lightweight native windows. This allows a user to arrange their workspace for a true "mission control" feel. -- **On the Web:** The same components can be assembled within a "virtual desktop" environment inside the browser tab. The floating windows and panels would be simulated, providing a consistent experience without relying on native OS windowing. - -### 4.2. Dynamic Layout Management: Free-form vs. Automatic - -To give users both ultimate control and intelligent organization, the virtual desktop will support two distinct layout modes the user can toggle between at any time. - -1. **Free-form Mode (Your Workbench):** - - - This is the user's persistent, custom layout. They can drag, resize, and arrange all floating "applets" (file explorers, the Activity Center, etc.) in any way that suits their workflow. - - The size and position of every window are saved, so the user's personalized workspace is always exactly as they left it. - -2. **Automatic Modes (Task-Oriented Layouts):** - - These are predefined, clean layouts optimized for specific tasks, selectable from a menu. - - Examples: "Focus Mode" (one file browser maximized), "Organization Mode" (two file browsers side-by-side), "Activity Mode" (Activity Center maximized). - -**The Animated Transition:** - -The transition between these modes is seamless. When a user switches from an "Automatic" layout back to "Free-form," the system remembers the user's last custom positions. Each panel will **fluidly animate from its organized spot back to its unique, user-defined "home,"** creating a delightful and spatially intuitive experience. - -## 5. Backend Integration - -This UI is powered directly by the existing backend architecture: - -- **The Unified Event Stream** is a direct visual representation of events received from the core `EventBus`. -- **The Detailed Job View** gets its real-time progress data by subscribing to the `JobContext` updates for a specific job. -- The resource usage data for the **Live Resource Dashboard** will be provided by new metrics exposed by the core services (e.g., Networking, Job System). - -## 6. Implementation Plan - -1. **Phase 1: Foundation & Data Hooks:** Build the basic Activity Center window. Implement the backend logic to expose resource metrics and connect the UI to the `EventBus` and `JobManager` to receive live data. -2. **Phase 2: The Unified Event Stream:** Build the "event card" UI and the chronological, scrollable list. -3. **Phase 3: The Detailed Job View & Resource Dashboard:** Build the drill-down view for individual jobs. Implement the expanding resource bars and the animated historical graphs. -4. **Phase 4: Composable Windowing & Layouts:** Implement the virtual desktop shell, the pop-out window functionality (for desktop), and the dynamic layout management system. diff --git a/docs/core/design/VDFS_MODEL_VISUAL.md b/docs/core/design/VDFS_MODEL_VISUAL.md deleted file mode 100644 index 90e1ede93..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/VDFS_MODEL_VISUAL.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,150 +0,0 @@ -# VDFS Domain Model - Visual Overview - -## Core Relationships - -``` -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Virtual Distributed File System │ -├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ -│ │ -│ Device A (MacBook) Device B (iPhone) │ -│ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ -│ │ id: aaaa-bbbb │ │ id: 1111-2222 │ │ -│ │ name: MacBook │◄─────P2P────────►│ name: iPhone │ │ -│ │ os: macOS │ │ os: iOS │ │ -│ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │ -│ │ │ │ -│ ▼ ▼ │ -│ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ -│ │ Location │ │ Location │ │ -│ │ "My Documents" │ │ "Camera Roll" │ │ -│ │ /Users/me/Docs │ │ /DCIM/ │ │ -│ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │ -│ │ │ │ -│ ▼ ▼ │ -│ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ -│ │ Entry │ │ Entry │ │ -│ │ "photo.jpg" │ │ "IMG_1234.jpg" │ │ -│ │ device: aaaa │ │ device: 1111 │ │ -│ │ path: /Docs/... │ │ path: /DCIM/... │ │ -│ └────────┬────────┘ └────────┬────────┘ │ -│ │ │ │ -│ ▼ ▼ │ -│ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ -│ │ UserMetadata │ │ UserMetadata │ │ -│ │ tags: [Vacation]│ │ tags: [] │ │ -│ │ favorite: true │ │ favorite: false │ │ -│ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │ -│ │ │ │ -│ └──────────────┬─────────────────────┘ │ -│ ▼ │ -│ ┌─────────────────┐ │ -│ │ ContentIdentity │ │ -│ │ cas_id: v2:a1b2 │ (Same content, different devices) │ -│ │ kind: Image │ │ -│ │ entry_count: 2 │ │ -│ └─────────────────┘ │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ -``` - -## Key Concepts Illustrated - -### 1.

This will enable fully virtual -locations, significantly reduce database size, and improve -data integrity by eliminating path string redundancy. - -Starting Point: This guide assumes the changes from the -previous implementation are complete: the entries table has a -parent_id, and the entry_closure table is being correctly -populated for all new and moved entries. - ---- - -1. Architectural Principles & Rationale - -This refactoring is based on several key insights we've -developed: - -1. The Goal is Virtual Locations: A "Location" should not be a - rigid, physical path on a disk. It should be a virtual, - named pointer to any directory Entry in the VDFS. This - allows users to create locations that match their mental - model (e.g., a "Projects" location that points to - /Users/me/work/projects) without being constrained by the - filesystem's physical layout. - -2. Eliminating `relative_path`: The primary obstacle to virtual - locations and the main source of data bloat is the - relative_path column in the entries table. By removing it, we - achieve a "pure" model where the hierarchy is defined only - by the parent_id and entry_closure tables. This is the single - source of truth for the hierarchy, making the system more - robust and easier to maintain. - -3. Solving the Path Reconstruction Problem: We identified that - removing relative_path entirely would create a major - performance bottleneck when displaying lists of files from - multiple directories (e.g., search results), as it would - require thousands of recursive queries to reconstruct their - paths. - -4. The "Directory-Only Path Cache" Solution: The optimal - solution is to introduce a new, dedicated table named - directory_paths. - - Purpose: This table acts as a permanent, denormalized - cache. Its sole function is to store the pre-computed, - full path string for every directory. - - Efficiency: By only storing paths for directories (which - are far less numerous than files), we reduce the storage - overhead by ~90% compared to caching all paths, while - retaining almost all the performance benefits. - - How it Works: A file's full path is constructed - on-the-fly with near-zero cost by fetching its parent - directory's path from this new table and appending the - file's name. This is an extremely fast operation. - ---- - -2. Step-by-Step Implementation Plan - -Phase 1: Database Schema Changes - -This phase modifies the database to support the new -architecture.

Determine its full path. This can be done by querying - the directory_paths table for its parent_id and - appending the new directory's name. - 2. INSERT the new record into the directory_paths - table. - 3. This entire operation (creating the entry, - populating the closure table, and populating the - directory path) should be wrapped in a single - database transaction. - -2. Action: Update EntryProcessor::move_entry. - - - File: src/operations/indexing/entry.rs. - - Instruction: When a directory is moved: - 1. The existing transactional logic for updating - parent_id and the entry_closure table is still - correct. - 2. Add a step within the transaction to UPDATE the - directory's own path in the directory_paths table. - 3. Crucially, after the transaction commits, spawn a - low-priority background job. This job's - responsibility is to find all descendant directories - of the one that was moved (using the closure table) - and update their paths in the directory_paths table. - - Reasoning: This makes the move operation feel instantaneous - to the user, deferring the expensive task of updating all - descendant paths. - -3. Action: Create a centralized Path Retrieval Service. - - - File: A new module, e.g., - src/operations/indexing/path_resolver.rs. - - Instruction: This service will have a function like - get_full_path(entry_id: i32) -> Result. - - If the entry is a directory, it will SELECT path - FROM directory_paths WHERE entry_id = ?. - - If the entry is a file, it will SELECT e.name, - dp.path FROM entries e JOIN directory_paths dp ON - e.parent_id = dp.entry_id WHERE e.id = ?. - - Reasoning: This centralizes path reconstruction logic - and ensures it's done consistently and efficiently - everywhere. - -4. Action: Refactor all parts of the codebase that need a full - path. - - Files: This will be a broad change. Key areas will - include: - - Search result generation. - - UI-facing API endpoints. - - The Action System's preview generation. - - Any logging that requires full paths. - - Instruction: All these locations must now call the new - PathRetrievalService instead of trying to concatenate - relative_path and name. - ---- - -This guide provides a clear, logical path to achieving a more -robust, scalable, and flexible architecture for Spacedrive. By -following these steps, the next agent can successfully -implement this significant and valuable upgrade. diff --git a/docs/core/design/VIRTUAL_SIDECAR_SYSTEM.md b/docs/core/design/VIRTUAL_SIDECAR_SYSTEM.md deleted file mode 100644 index bf7ae88d1..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/VIRTUAL_SIDECAR_SYSTEM.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,193 +0,0 @@ -# Virtual Sidecar System (VSS) - -Status: Draft - -## Summary - -Virtual Sidecars are derivative artifacts (e.g., thumbnails, OCR text, embeddings, media proxies) that Spacedrive generates and manages without ever mutating the user’s original files.

Implement the database methods in VolumeManager -4. Update the action handlers -5. Add the volume monitor service -6. Write integration tests - -## ActionOutput Design Note - -The current implementation uses a centralized `ActionOutput` enum for all action results. This design decision has been investigated and the following findings were documented: - -### Current State -- All action handlers return `ActionResult` -- ActionOutput serves multiple purposes: - - Provides standardized return type for all actions - - Gets serialized to JSON for audit logs (`result_payload`) - - Gets returned to CLI via `DaemonResponse::ActionOutput` - - Has both specific variants (VolumeTracked, VolumeUntracked, etc.) and a generic Custom variant - -### Design Pattern -- Most actions define their own output struct implementing `ActionOutputTrait` -- They use `ActionOutput::from_trait()` to convert to the centralized enum -- This provides type safety while allowing flexibility - -### Trade-offs - -**Pros:** -- Centralized enum makes it easy to handle all outputs uniformly in infrastructure code -- Audit logging can serialize any action output -- CLI can display any action output consistently -- The `Custom` variant provides an escape hatch for actions that don't need specific handling - -**Cons:** -- Central enum needs updating for each new action type -- Could become a maintenance burden as more actions are added -- Goes against open/closed principle - -### Recommendation -The current approach is reasonable because: -1. It's already implemented and working across the codebase -2. Provides good type safety and pattern matching -3. Makes audit logging straightforward -4. The volume actions follow this established pattern with specific variants (VolumeTracked, VolumeUntracked, VolumeSpeedTested) - -Any future refactoring to remove the centralized enum would require changes to: -- Audit log serialization -- CLI response handling -- Any code that pattern matches on specific output types \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/core/design/WATCHER_VDFS_INTEGRATION.md b/docs/core/design/WATCHER_VDFS_INTEGRATION.md deleted file mode 100644 index 2fb476be3..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/WATCHER_VDFS_INTEGRATION.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,635 +0,0 @@ -# File Watcher VDFS Integration Design - -## Overview - -This document outlines how the cross-platform file watcher integrates with the core Virtual Distributed File System (VDFS), leveraging the new Entry-centric data model and SdPath addressing system. - -## Key Differences from Original Implementation - -### Original Spacedrive Architecture - -- **FilePath-centric**: Files were primarily `file_path` records with optional `object` links -- **Content-first**: Required content hashing for full functionality -- **Prisma ORM**: Complex query patterns with extensive invalidation -- **Immediate indexing**: Heavy operations triggered on every file event - -### core Architecture - -- **Entry-centric**: Every file/directory is an `Entry` with mandatory `UserMetadata` -- **Metadata-first**: User metadata (tags, notes) available immediately -- **SeaORM**: Modern Rust ORM with better performance patterns -- **Progressive indexing**: Lightweight discovery → optional content indexing → deep analysis - -## Integration Architecture - -### 1.

These changes are foundational and will impact almost every other part of the system, so they must be done first to avoid significant rework later. - -1. Implement Closure Table Indexing: - -Action: Refactor the database schema to replace the current materialized path storage with a closure table for hierarchical data. - -Reasoning: This is a major architectural change that will dramatically improve the performance of all hierarchical queries (e.g., directory listings, subtree traversals, aggregate calculations), transforming them from O(N) string matches to O(1) indexed lookups. This is a prerequisite for a scalable system. - -2. Finalize At-Rest Library Encryption: - -Action: Implement the full library database encryption using SQLCipher. Derive keys from user passwords via PBKDF2 with unique per-library salts, as detailed in the design document. - -Reasoning: Security must be built-in, not bolted on. Completing this now ensures all subsequent features operate on an encrypted-by-default storage layer. - -3. Implement Native Storage Tiering Model: - -Action: Enhance the Volume and Location data models to include PhysicalClass and LogicalClass properties, respectively. Implement the logic to determine the EffectiveStorageClass. - -Reasoning: This provides the core system (Action System, Path Resolver) with a crucial understanding of storage capabilities, enabling intelligent warnings and performance optimizations. - -4. Enhance the Indexing and Job Systems: - -Action: Extend the existing indexing pipeline to fully realize the five phases described in the whitepaper: Discovery, Processing, Aggregation, Content ID, and Intelligence Queueing. - -Reasoning: The Intelligence Queueing phase is the critical integration point for the future AI layer. It decouples core indexing from slower, AI-powered analysis jobs (like OCR or transcription), making the system more modular and resilient. - -Phase 2: Implement Core Distributed Capabilities -With the local foundation solidified, this phase focuses on making Spacedrive a true distributed system by building the networking and synchronization layers from the ground up. - -1. Build the Library Sync Module: - -Action: Develop the Library Sync module based on the principles in SYNC_DESIGN.md. Implement the domain separation strategy: Index Sync (device authority), User Metadata Sync (union-merge), and File Operations (explicit actions). - -Reasoning: This pragmatic approach avoids the "analysis paralysis" of overly complex CRDTs and provides tailored, effective conflict resolution for different data types. It is the heart of multi-device consistency. - -2. Establish Robust P2P Networking with Iroh: - -Action: Fully leverage the Iroh stack to handle all P2P communication. This includes implementing device discovery, achieving high-success-rate NAT traversal, and securing all transport with QUIC/TLS 1.3. - -Reasoning: A single, unified networking layer is more reliable and maintainable than fragmented solutions. This provides the stable connections that Library Sync relies upon. - -3. Develop Spacedrop for Ephemeral Sharing: - -Action: Build the Spacedrop ephemeral file-sharing protocol on top of the Iroh networking layer, ensuring each transfer uses ephemeral keys for perfect forward secrecy. - -Reasoning: This feature leverages the P2P foundation to provide a key user-facing capability (similar to AirDrop) and validates the flexibility of the networking stack. - -Phase 3: Build the Intelligence Layer (AI-Native) -Now that data is reliably indexed and synchronized, you can build the intelligence features that make Spacedrive truly unique. - -1. Implement Temporal-Semantic Search: - -Action: Build the two-stage search architecture. First, implement fast temporal filtering using SQLite's FTS5. Second, integrate a lightweight embedding model (e.g., all-MiniLM-L6-v2) to create and query vector embeddings for semantic re-ranking. - -Reasoning: This hybrid approach provides the speed of keyword search with the power of semantic understanding, achieving sub-100ms queries on consumer hardware as specified in the whitepaper. - -2. Implement Extension-Based Agent System: - -Action: Build the WASM extension runtime and SDK that enables specialized AI agents. This includes the agent context, memory systems (Temporal, Associative, Working), event subscription mechanism, and integration with the job system. - -Reasoning: This provides the foundation for domain-specific intelligence through secure, sandboxed extensions. Each agent (Photos, Finance, Storage, etc.) can maintain its own knowledge base and react to VDFS events while using the same safe, transactional primitives as human users. - -3. Implement the Virtual Sidecar System: - -Action: Create the mechanism for generating and managing derivative data (thumbnails, OCR text, transcripts) within the .sdlibrary package, linking them to the original Entry without modifying the source file. - -Reasoning: This system is the foundation for file intelligence. It provides the raw material (e.g., extracted text) that the search and AI agents need to function, while preserving the integrity of user files. - -4. Integrate Local and Cloud AI Providers: - -Action: Build a flexible AI provider interface. Prioritize integration with Ollama for local, privacy-first processing. Then, add support for cloud-based AI services with clear user consent and data handling policies. - -Reasoning: This fulfills the whitepaper's promise of a privacy-first AI architecture, giving users complete control over where their data is processed. - -Phase 4: Enhance User-Facing Features & Extensibility -With the core, distributed, and AI layers in place, this phase focuses on delivering the advanced capabilities and ecosystem integrations promised in the whitepaper. - -1. Enhance the Transactional Action System: - -Action: Fully implement the "preview-before-commit" simulation engine. Ensure every action can be pre-visualized, showing the exact outcome (space savings, conflicts, etc.) before it is committed to the durable job queue. - -Reasoning: This is a cornerstone of Spacedrive's user experience, providing safety, transparency, and control over all file operations. - -2. Build the Native Cloud Service Architecture: - -Action: Develop the deployment model where a "Cloud Core" runs as a standard, containerized Spacedrive peer. All interactions should use the existing P2P protocols, requiring no custom cloud API. - -Reasoning: This elegant architecture provides cloud convenience without sacrificing the local-first security model, demonstrating the power and flexibility of the VDFS design. - -3. Implement the WASM Plugin System: - -Action: Develop the WebAssembly-based plugin host. Expose a secure, capability-based VDFS API to the WASM sandbox, allowing for extensions like custom content type handlers and third-party cloud storage integrations. - -Reasoning: This provides a safe and portable way to extend Spacedrive's functionality, fostering a community ecosystem without compromising the stability of the core system. - -Phase 5: Harden for Production and Enterprise -The final phase focuses on the security, management, and scalability features required for a robust, multi-user production environment. - -1.

-## Implementation Plan - -### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure (Week 1) - -1. **Create ActionContext struct** - - `core/src/infra/action/context.rs` - - Add to action module exports - -2. **Database Migration** - - Add `action_context` and `action_type` fields to jobs table - - Create migration script - -3. **Enhance JobManager** - - Add `dispatch_with_action()` method - - Update job creation to store action context - - Maintain backward compatibility - -### Phase 2: Action Integration (Week 2) - -1. **Implement ActionContextProvider** - - Start with high-value actions: `locations.add`, `indexing.scan` - - Add context creation for each action type - -2. **Update Action Execution** - - Modify action `execute()` methods to use action-aware dispatch - - Preserve existing dispatch for backward compatibility - -### Phase 3: Job Enhancement (Week 2) -

- Include in job resumption after restart - -### Phase 4: API & UI (Week 3) - -1. **TypeScript Type Generation** - - Update specta types for new ActionContext - - Generate Swift types for companion app - -2. **Enhanced Progress Events** - - Rich job descriptions based on action context - - Better UI labels and progress messages - -## Expected Outcomes - -### Enhanced Progress Events - -**Before:** -```json -{ - "job_type": "indexer", - "message": "Finalizing (3846/3877)" -} -``` - -**After:** -```json -{ - "job_type": "indexer", - "message": "Finalizing Documents scan (3846/3877)", - "metadata": { - "action_context": { -

"name": "Documents", - "mode": "deep" - }, - "context": { - "location_id": "uuid-here", - "device_id": "device-uuid", - "operation": "add_location" - } -} -``` - -#### Manual Indexing -```json -{ - "action_type": "indexing.scan", - "action_input": { - "paths": ["/home/user/photos"], - "mode": "content" - }, - "context": { - "trigger": "cli_command", - "operation": "manual_scan" - } -} -``` - -#### File Operations -```json -{ - "action_type": "files.copy", -

-### For Users -- **Better Progress Messages**: "Indexing Documents (added location)" vs "Indexing" -- **Context Awareness**: Know why a job is running -- **Troubleshooting**: Understand what action caused issues - -### For Developers -- **Complete Audit Trail**: Trace any job back to its originating action -- **Debugging**: Clear causation chain for failures -- **Analytics**: Track which actions generate the most work/failures - -### For UIs -- **Rich Display**: Show meaningful job descriptions -- **Smart Filtering**: Group/filter jobs by action type -- **Better UX**: Context-aware progress indication - -## Migration & Compatibility - -### Backward Compatibility -- `action_context` field is optional in database -- Existing jobs without context continue working normally -- New dispatch methods don't break existing code - -### Gradual Adoption -- Actions can implement `ActionContextProvider` incrementally -- Default to existing dispatch for non-enhanced actions -- Progressive enhancement of job descriptions - -### Performance Impact -- **Negligible**: ActionContext is small (~100-200 bytes) -- **One-time Cost**: Context created once at job dispatch -- **Query Optimization**: `action_type` field indexed for fast filtering - -## Alternative Approaches Considered - -### Job-Specific Metadata (e.g., location-only) -- **Limited Scope**: Only works for specific job types -- **Repetitive**: Need different solutions for each job type -- **Maintenance**: Multiple metadata systems to maintain - -### Action Logging Separate from Jobs -- **Disconnected**: Hard to correlate actions with jobs -- **Complex Queries**: Need joins across multiple systems -- **Performance**: Additional overhead for correlation - -### Universal Action Context (Chosen) -- **Comprehensive**: Works for all current and future job types -- **Unified**: Single system for all action→job relationships -- **Extensible**: Easy to add new action types and context -- **Performance**: Efficient storage and retrieval - -## Security Considerations - -### Input Sanitization -- Action inputs may contain sensitive data (file paths, user names) -- Implement input sanitization before storing in `action_input` -- Consider separate field for display-safe context - -### Access Control -- Action context inherits same access controls as job data -- No additional security surface introduced -- User context (`initiated_by`) respects existing session management - -## Future Enhancements - -### Phase 2 Features -- **Job Grouping**: Group related jobs by action context -- **Action Replay**: Re-execute failed actions with same context -- **Smart Retry**: Context-aware retry logic for failed jobs - -### Analytics & Insights -- **Action Success Rates**: Track which actions fail most often -- **Performance Analysis**: Measure action→job completion times -- **Usage Patterns**: Understand user behavior through action data - -### Enhanced UI Features -- **Action-Based Views**: Filter job queues by originating action -- **Context Tooltips**: Rich hover information for jobs -- **Progress Narratives**: Story-like progress descriptions - -## Implementation Files - -### New Files -- `core/src/infra/action/context.rs` - ActionContext struct and traits -- `docs/core/design/action-metadata-for-jobs.md` - This design document - -### Modified Files -- `core/src/infra/job/database.rs` -

---- - -## Key Insights - -### 1. **Most Agents Don't Need Conversations** - -Spacedrive's agents are primarily event-driven processors, not chatbots: - -```rust -// Photos agent processes 10,000 photos -// - Does NOT need to "remember" each one in message history -// - DOES need to accumulate knowledge (face clusters, places) -// - Solution: Structured memory, not message history -``` - -### 2. **Separate Concerns** - -**Message History** (for LLM context): -- Tool calling conversations -- Recent user interactions -- Current task reasoning -- **Keep minimal** (< 20 messages) - -**Agent Memory** (for knowledge): -- Historical events (all face detections) -- Learned patterns (face clusters) -- Working state (pending queue) -- **Can be large** (GBs) - -### 3. **Anthropic's Prompt Caching is Powerful** - -For agents with large tool schemas or system prompts: -- **First request**: Full context processed (~$0.015/1M tokens) -- **Cached requests**: Only new messages processed (~$0.0015/1M tokens) -- **Savings**: 90% on repeated requests -- **TTL**: 5 minutes (enough for interactive sessions) - -### 4. **SubAgent Pattern is Underrated** - -From rust-deep-agents-sdk's design: - -``` -Main Agent (small context) - ↓ - ├─> SubAgent: Research Face Detection Models (isolated context) - ├─> SubAgent: Analyze GPS Clustering (isolated context) - └─> SubAgent: Generate Moment Titles (isolated context) - ↓ -Main Agent receives only results (not intermediate reasoning) -``` - -**Result:** Main agent's context stays clean - ---- - -## Implementation Recommendations for Spacedrive - -### Immediate (Phase 1 - Ship with Extension System) - -```rust -pub struct AgentContextConfig { - // Simple truncation - pub max_message_history: usize, // Default: 20 - - // State offloading (already in design) - pub memory_enabled: bool, // Default: true -} - -impl AgentContext { - async fn prepare_llm_messages(&self) -> Vec { - let mut messages = Vec::new(); - - // System prompt (will be cached if Anthropic) - messages.push(Message::system(self.instructions.clone())); - - // Recent message history (limited) - let history = self.history.read().await; - messages.extend(history.iter() - .rev() - .take(self.config.max_message_history) - .rev() - .cloned()); - - messages - } -} -``` - -### Near-Term (Phase 2 - After Memory System Works) - -```rust -impl AgentContext { - async fn prepare_llm_messages_with_memory(&self) -> Vec { - let mut messages = Vec::new(); - - // Base system prompt - messages.push(Message::system(self.instructions.clone())); - - // Memory-derived context - let memory_context = self.memory() - .retrieve_relevant_facts(/* current task */) - .await?; - - if !memory_context.is_empty() { - messages.push(Message::system(format!( - "Relevant information from your memory:\n{}", - memory_context.join("\n") - ))); - } - - // Recent messages - messages.extend(self.recent_messages(20)); - - messages - } -} -``` - -### Future (Phase 3 - Advanced) - -```rust -pub enum ContextStrategy { - // Simple truncation - SimpleWindow { max_messages: usize }, - - // Summarization (requires LLM call) - LlmSummarization { - max_messages: usize, - summarize_after: usize, - }, - - // Memory-based (use structured memory) - MemoryBased { - max_messages: usize, - memory_context_size: usize, - }, - - // Hybrid - Hybrid { - window: usize, - memory_enabled: bool, - caching_enabled: bool, - }, -} -``` - ---- - -## Specific to Spacedrive: Event-Driven Context - -Unique challenge: Agents receive thousands of events (every file indexed). - -### Problem - -```rust -// If agent kept message history for each event: -// EntryCreated(photo1.jpg) -// EntryCreated(photo2.jpg) -// ... -// EntryCreated(photo10000.jpg) -// → 10,000 messages in history → CRASH -``` - -### Solution: Event Aggregation - -```rust -impl AgentContext { - async fn handle_event(&self, event: VdfsEvent) { - // Don't add to message history! - // Add to structured memory instead - - match event { - VdfsEvent::EntryCreated { entry, .. } => { - self.memory().history.append(PhotoEvent::PhotoAnalyzed { - photo_id: entry.id(), - // ... extracted facts - }).await?; - - // NO message history update - } - } - - // Only use LLM when making decisions - // Not when processing events - } - - async fn make_decision(&self, question: &str) -> Result { - // NOW we need LLM - prepare context - let context = self.memory() - .summarize_recent_activity() // "Analyzed 100 photos, found 25 people" - .await?; - - let response = self.llm() - .query(question) - .with_context(context) - .execute() - .await?; - - Ok(response) - } -} -``` - -**Key Principle:** Events → Memory (structured), Decisions → LLM (with context) - ---- - -## Performance Benchmarks (from rust-deep-agents-sdk docs) - -**Context Window Impact:** - -| Messages | Context Size | Latency (GPT-4) | Cost per Request | -|----------|--------------|-----------------|------------------| -| 5 | ~2k tokens | 1.2s | $0.02 | -| 20 | ~8k tokens | 2.1s | $0.08 | -| 50 | ~20k tokens | 4.5s | $0.20 | -| 100 | ~40k tokens | 8.2s | $0.40 | -| 200 | ~80k tokens | 15.1s | $0.80 | -

---- - -## Code Examples to Borrow - -### From rust-deep-agents-sdk - -**Summarization Middleware** (agents-runtime/src/middleware.rs:98-140) -- Clean middleware pattern -- Simple truncation with summary note -- ~40 lines, easy to adapt - -**Prompt Caching Middleware** (agents-runtime/src/middleware.rs:428-490) -- Anthropic-specific optimization -- Metadata-based cache control -- ~60 lines, copy as-is - -### From ccswarm - -**Working Memory Pattern** (ccswarm/src/session/memory.rs:654-681) -- Miller's Law (7±2) capacity -- FIFO eviction when full -- Decay-based cleanup -- ~30 lines, interesting concept - -**Memory Consolidation** (ccswarm/src/session/memory.rs:439-460) -- Transfer working → long-term -- Significance-based filtering -- Different storage per item type -- ~40 lines, good pattern for Spacedrive's three-memory system - -### From rust-agentai - -**Simple History Management** (agentai/src/agent.rs:36-72) -- Clean API surface -- Mutable history vector -- Educational example of what NOT to do long-term -- But good for Phase 1 (simple) - ---- - -## Conclusion - -### Recommended Approach for Spacedrive - -**Phase 1 (Ship with Extension System):** -- Simple message truncation (keep last 20) -- State offloading to memory systems (already designed) -- No summarization yet - -**Phase 2 (After Memory System Works):** -- Memory-derived context summaries -- Prompt caching for Anthropic users -- Consolidation triggers - -**Phase 3 (Advanced):** -- LLM-based summarization (optional) -- Adaptive window sizing -- SubAgent delegation support - -### Key Takeaway - -**Spacedrive's event-driven architecture naturally avoids context bloat:** -- Events → Memory (structured storage) -- Memory → Context (when LLM needed) -- Not: Events → Messages → LLM -

-## Overview - -This document outlines a proposed refactoring of the CLI output system to replace the current `println!` usage with a more structured and consistent approach using existing Rust libraries. - -## Current State - -### Problems -1. **Inconsistent output patterns** - Each domain handler uses different formatting styles -2. **Mixed approaches** - Some functions return strings, others print directly -3. **No output format options** - Cannot output JSON for scripting/automation -4. **Difficult to test** - Direct `println!` calls are hard to capture in tests -5. **No verbosity control** - All output is shown regardless of user preference -6. **Scattered emoji/color logic** - Formatting decisions spread throughout codebase - -### Current Dependencies -- `colored` - Terminal colors -- `indicatif` - Progress bars and spinners -- `console` - Terminal utilities -- `comfy-table` - Table formatting -- `tracing` - Structured logging (underutilized for CLI output) - -## Library Options - -### Recommended Libraries - -After evaluating various options, here are the recommended libraries for different aspects: - -1. **Terminal UI Framework: `ratatui`** (for TUI mode) - - Modern terminal UI framework - - Great for the planned TUI mode - - Handles layout, widgets, and rendering - -2. **CLI Output: `dialoguer` + `console`** - - `dialoguer`: High-level constructs (prompts, selections, progress) - - `console`: Low-level terminal control - - Both work well together - -3. **Structured Output: `owo-colors` + `supports-color`** - - More modern than `colored` crate - - Better performance - - Automatic color detection - -4. **Progress Bars: Keep `indicatif`** - - Already in use - - Best-in-class for progress indication - -5. **Table Formatting: Keep `comfy-table`** - - Already in use - - Good API and customization - -### Alternative: All-in-One Solution with `dialoguer` - -```rust -use dialoguer::{theme::ColorfulTheme, console::style}; -use console::{Term, Emoji}; - -// Emojis with fallback -static SUCCESS: Emoji = Emoji("", "[OK] "); -static ERROR: Emoji = Emoji("", "[ERROR] "); -static INFO: Emoji = Emoji("️ ", "[INFO] "); - -// Structured output -let term = Term::stdout(); -term.clear_line()?; -term.write_line(&format!("{}{}", SUCCESS, style("Library created").green()))?; - -// Progress bars -let pb = indicatif::ProgressBar::new(100); -pb.set_style( - indicatif::ProgressStyle::default_bar() - .template("{spinner:.green} [{bar:40.cyan/blue}] {pos}/{len} {msg}") - .progress_chars("#>-") -); - -// Tables (keep comfy-table) -let mut table = comfy_table::Table::new(); -table.set_header(vec!["ID", "Name", "Status"]); -``` - -## Proposed Solution - -### Core Design Principles -1. **Separation of concerns** - Business logic should not know about output formatting -2. **Testability** - Output should be capturable and assertable in tests -3. **Flexibility** - Support multiple output formats (human, json, quiet) -4. **Consistency** - Unified visual language across all commands -5. **Context-aware** - Respect user preferences (color, verbosity, format) - -### Lightweight Wrapper Approach - -Instead of building a complex abstraction, we'll create a thin wrapper around these libraries: - -```rust -// src/infrastructure/cli/output.rs -use console::{style, Emoji, Term}; -use dialoguer::theme::ColorfulTheme; -use serde::Serialize; -use std::io::Write; - -pub struct CliOutput { - term: Term, - format: OutputFormat, - theme: ColorfulTheme, -} - -// Simple emoji constants with fallbacks -const SUCCESS: Emoji = Emoji("", "[OK] "); -const ERROR: Emoji = Emoji("", "[ERROR] "); -const WARNING: Emoji = Emoji("️ ", "[WARN] "); -const INFO: Emoji = Emoji("️ ", "[INFO] "); - -impl CliOutput { - pub fn success(&self, msg: &str) -> std::io::Result<()> { - match self.format { - OutputFormat::Human => { - self.term.write_line(&format!("{}{}", SUCCESS, style(msg).green())) - } - OutputFormat::Json => { - let output = json!({"type": "success", "message": msg}); - self.term.write_line(&output.to_string()) - } - OutputFormat::Quiet => Ok(()), - } - } - - pub fn section(&self) -> OutputSection { - OutputSection::new(self) - } -} - -// Fluent builder for sections -pub struct OutputSection<'a> { - output: &'a CliOutput, - lines: Vec, -} - -impl<'a> OutputSection<'a> { - pub fn title(mut self, text: &str) -> Self { - self.lines.push(format!("\n{}", style(text).bold().cyan())); - self - } - - pub fn item(mut self, label: &str, value: &str) -> Self { - self.lines.push(format!(" {}: {}", label, style(value).bright())); - self - } - - pub fn render(self) -> std::io::Result<()> { - for line in self.lines { - self.output.term.write_line(&line)?; - } - Ok(()) - } -} -``` - -### Architecture - -```rust -// src/infrastructure/cli/output/mod.rs - -/// Global output context passed through CLI operations -pub struct OutputContext { - format: OutputFormat, - verbosity: VerbosityLevel, - color: ColorMode, - writer: Box, // Allows testing with buffers -} - -pub enum OutputFormat { - Human, // Default, pretty-printed with colors/emojis - Json, // Machine-readable JSON - Quiet, // Minimal output (errors only) -} - -pub enum VerbosityLevel { - Quiet = 0, // Errors only - Normal = 1, // Default - Verbose = 2, // Additional info - Debug = 3, // Everything -} - -pub enum ColorMode { - Auto, // Detect terminal support - Always, // Force colors - Never, // No colors -} - -/// All possible output messages in the system -pub enum Message { - // Success messages - LibraryCreated { name: String, id: Uuid }, - LocationAdded { path: PathBuf }, - DaemonStarted { instance: String }, - - // Error messages - DaemonNotRunning { instance: String }, - LibraryNotFound { id: Uuid }, - - // Progress messages - IndexingProgress { current: u64, total: u64, location: String }, - - // Status messages - DaemonStatus { version: String, uptime: u64, libraries: Vec }, - - // ... etc -} - -/// Core output trait - implemented for each format -pub trait OutputFormatter { - fn format(&self, message: &Message, context: &OutputContext) -> String; -} - -/// Main output handler -impl OutputContext { - pub fn print(&mut self, message: Message) { - if self.should_print(&message) { - let formatted = self.format(&message); - writeln!(self.writer, "{}", formatted).ok(); - } - } - - pub fn error(&mut self, message: Message) { - // Errors always print regardless of verbosity - let formatted = self.format_error(&message); - writeln!(self.writer, "{}", formatted).ok(); - } -} -``` - -### Output Grouping and Spacing - -One of the major improvements is eliminating the "println! soup" pattern where multiple `println!()` calls are used for spacing: - -#### Current (Ugly) Pattern -```rust -println!("Checking pairing status..."); -println!(); -println!("Current Pairing Status: {}", status); -println!(); -println!("No pending pairing requests"); -println!(); -println!("To start pairing:"); -println!(" • Generate a code: spacedrive network pair generate"); -``` - -#### New Pattern -```rust -// Using output groups -output.print(Message::PairingStatus { - status: status.clone(), - pending_requests: vec![], - help_text: true, -}); - -// Or using a builder pattern for complex outputs -output.section("Checking pairing status") - .status("Current Pairing Status", &status) - .empty_line() - .info("No pending pairing requests") - .empty_line() - .help() - .item("Generate a code: spacedrive network pair generate") - .item("Join with a code: spacedrive network pair join ") - .render(); -``` - -The formatter handles appropriate spacing based on context, eliminating manual spacing management. - -### Human-Readable Formatter - -```rust -pub struct HumanFormatter; - -impl OutputFormatter for HumanFormatter { - fn format(&self, message: &Message, context: &OutputContext) -> String { - match message { - Message::LibraryCreated { name, id } => { - format!("{} Library '{}' created successfully", - if context.use_emoji() { "✓" } else { "[OK]" }.green(), - name.bright_cyan() - ) - } - Message::DaemonNotRunning { instance } => { - format!("{} Spacedrive daemon instance '{}' is not running\n Start it with: spacedrive start", - "❌".red(), - instance - ) - } - // ... etc - } - } -} -``` - -### JSON Formatter - -```rust -pub struct JsonFormatter; - -impl OutputFormatter for JsonFormatter { - fn format(&self, message: &Message, _: &OutputContext) -> String { - // Convert messages to structured JSON - match message { - Message::LibraryCreated { name, id } => { - json!({ - "type": "library_created", - "success": true, - "data": { - "name": name, - "id": id.to_string() - } - }).to_string() - } - // ... etc - } - } -} -``` - -### Integration Points - -#### 1. CLI Entry Point -```rust -// In main CLI parser -let output = OutputContext::new( - matches.value_of("format").unwrap_or("human"), - matches.occurrences_of("verbose"), - matches.is_present("no-color"), -); - -// Pass through command handlers -handle_library_command(cmd, output).await?; -``` - -#### 2. Command Handlers -```rust -pub async fn handle_library_command( - cmd: LibraryCommands, - mut output: OutputContext, -) -> Result<(), Box> { - match cmd { - LibraryCommands::Create { name } => { - let library = create_library(name).await?; - output.print(Message::LibraryCreated { - name: library.name, - id: library.id, - }); - } - } -} -``` - -#### 3. Testing -```rust -#[test] -fn test_library_create_output() { - let mut buffer = Vec::new(); - let mut output = OutputContext::test(buffer); - - output.print(Message::LibraryCreated { - name: "Test".into(), - id: Uuid::new_v4(), - }); - - let result = String::from_utf8(output.into_inner()).unwrap(); - assert!(result.contains("Library 'Test' created")); -} -``` - -### Progress Handling - -For long-running operations, integrate with existing `indicatif`: - -```rust -pub struct ProgressContext { - output: OutputContext, - progress: Option, -} - -impl ProgressContext { - pub fn update(&mut self, message: Message) { - match &message { - Message::IndexingProgress { current, total, .. } => { - if let Some(pb) = &self.progress { - pb.set_position(*current); - pb.set_message(format!("{}/{}", current, total)); - } - } - _ => self.output.print(message), - } - } -} -``` - -### Migration Strategy - -1. **Phase 1**: Implement core output module without changing existing code -2. **Phase 2**: Gradually migrate each domain handler to use new system -3. **Phase 3**: Add JSON output support once all handlers migrated -4. **Phase 4**: Add advanced features (output filtering, custom formats) - -### Benefits - -1. **Testability** - Can capture and assert output in tests -2. **Consistency** - Single source of truth for all messages -3. **Localization-ready** - Messages defined in one place -4. **Machine-readable** - JSON output for automation -5. **Better UX** - Respects user preferences (quiet mode, no color, etc.) -6. **Maintainability** - Easy to update output style globally - -### Backwards Compatibility - -- Default behavior remains unchanged (human-readable with colors) -- Existing CLI commands work identically -- New flags are additive: `--format json`, `--quiet`, `--no-color` - -### Future Extensions - -1. **Structured logging integration** - Connect with tracing for debug output -2. **Template support** - User-defined output templates -3. **Localization** - Message translations -4. **Output plugins** - Custom formatters for specific tools -5. **Streaming JSON** - For real-time event monitoring - -### Section Builder API - -For complex multi-line outputs, a fluent builder API makes the code much cleaner: - -```rust -pub struct OutputSection<'a> { - output: &'a mut OutputContext, - lines: Vec, -} - -impl<'a> OutputSection<'a> { - pub fn title(mut self, text: &str) -> Self { - self.lines.push(Line::Title(text.to_string())); - self - } - - pub fn status(mut self, label: &str, value: &str) -> Self { - self.lines.push(Line::Status(label.to_string(), value.to_string())); - self - } - - pub fn table(mut self, table: Table) -> Self { - self.lines.push(Line::Table(table)); - self - } - - pub fn empty_line(mut self) -> Self { - self.lines.push(Line::Empty); - self - } - - pub fn render(self) { - // Smart spacing: removes duplicate empty lines, adds appropriate spacing - let formatted = self.output.formatter.format_section(&self.lines); - self.output.write(formatted); - } -} - -// Usage example - much cleaner than multiple println!s -output.section() - .title("System Status") - .status("Version", &status.version) - .status("Uptime", &format_duration(status.uptime)) - .empty_line() - .title("Libraries") - .table(library_table) - .empty_line() - .help() - .item("Create a library: spacedrive library create ") - .item("Switch library: spacedrive library switch ") - .render(); -``` - -## Implementation Checklist - -### Phase 1: Add Dependencies -- [ ] Add `dialoguer` to Cargo.toml -- [ ] Add `owo-colors` to Cargo.toml (or stick with `colored`) -- [ ] Keep existing `console`, `indicatif`, `comfy-table` - -### Phase 2: Create Simple Wrapper -- [ ] Create `src/infrastructure/cli/output.rs` -- [ ] Implement basic `CliOutput` struct with library wrappers -- [ ] Add output format enum (Human, Json, Quiet) -- [ ] Create section builder using `console` styling - -### Phase 3: Gradual Migration -- [ ] Start with one domain (e.g., library commands) -- [ ] Replace `println!` calls with output methods -- [ ] Test both human and JSON output -- [ ] Migrate remaining domains one by one - -### Phase 4: Advanced Features -- [ ] Add interactive prompts with `dialoguer` -- [ ] Implement TUI mode with `ratatui` -- [ ] Add output templates for customization -- [ ] Integrate with tracing for debug output - -## Example Migration - -```rust -// Before: -println!("Starting Spacedrive daemon..."); -println!(); -println!("Daemon started successfully"); -println!(" PID: {}", pid); -println!(" Socket: {}", socket_path); - -// After: -let output = CliOutput::new(format); -output.info("Starting Spacedrive daemon...")?;

Event Ordering and Consistency - -**Problem**: Events can arrive out of order, especially during network issues - -**Solution**: Event versioning with reconciliation - -```rust -// Add version numbers to all events -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, Type)] -pub struct EventEnvelope { - /// Sequential event number per library - pub sequence: u64, - - /// Library this event belongs to - pub library_id: Uuid, - - /// Timestamp when event was created - pub timestamp: DateTime, - - /// The actual event - pub event: Event, -} - -// Track sequence numbers -pub struct EventSequenceTracker { - /// Last seen sequence per library - last_sequence: HashMap, -} - -impl EventSequenceTracker { - pub fn check_for_gaps(&mut self, envelope: &EventEnvelope) -> EventGapStatus { - let last_seen = self.last_sequence - .get(&envelope.library_id) - .copied() - .unwrap_or(0); - - if envelope.sequence == last_seen + 1 { - // Expected sequence, no gap - self.last_sequence.insert(envelope.library_id, envelope.sequence); - EventGapStatus::Ok - } else if envelope.sequence > last_seen + 1 { - // Gap detected! Missed events - EventGapStatus::Gap { - expected: last_seen + 1, - received: envelope.sequence, - missing_count: (envelope.sequence - last_seen - 1) as usize, - } - } else { - // Duplicate or old event - EventGapStatus::Duplicate - } - } -} - -pub enum EventGapStatus { - Ok, - Gap { expected: u64, received: u64, missing_count: usize }, - Duplicate, -} -``` - -**Client-side gap handling**: -```swift -class EventCacheUpdater { - private var sequenceTracker = EventSequenceTracker() - - private func handleEvent(_ envelope: EventEnvelope) async { - let gapStatus = sequenceTracker.checkForGaps(envelope) - - switch gapStatus { - case .ok: - // Process event normally - await applyEventToCache(envelope.event) - - case .gap(let expected, let received, let missing): - print("️ Event gap detected: expected \(expected), got \(received)") - - // Invalidate affected queries to force refetch - await invalidateAffectedQueries(envelope.event) - - // Background reconciliation: fetch missing state - Task.detached { - await self.reconcileState(libraryId: envelope.libraryId) - } - - case .duplicate: - // Ignore duplicate events - break - } - } - - private func reconcileState(libraryId: UUID) async { - // Re-fetch critical queries to ensure consistency - // This is a "catch-up" mechanism after missed events - print("Reconciling state for library \(libraryId)") - - // Invalidate all queries for this library - cache.invalidateLibrary(libraryId) - } -} -``` - -### 3. Centralized Event Emission - -**Problem**: Events emitted from multiple places can be inconsistent - -**Solution**: EventEmitter service with transactional guarantees - -```rust -// core/src/infra/event/emitter.rs - -use super::EventBus; -use crate::domain::{File, Location, Tag}; -use uuid::Uuid; - -/// Centralized service for emitting cache-update events -/// Ensures events are created consistently and include proper resource data -pub struct CacheEventEmitter { - event_bus: Arc, - sequence_generator: Arc>>, // library_id → sequence -} - -impl CacheEventEmitter { - pub fn new(event_bus: Arc) -> Self { - Self { - event_bus, - sequence_generator: Arc::new(Mutex::new(HashMap::new())), - } - } - - /// Emit a file update event with full resource data - pub fn emit_file_updated(&self, library_id: Uuid, file: File) { - let sequence = self.next_sequence(library_id); - - let envelope = EventEnvelope { - sequence, - library_id, - timestamp: Utc::now(), - event: Event::FileUpdated { library_id, file }, - }; - - self.event_bus.emit(Event::Envelope(Box::new(envelope))); - - tracing::debug!( - library_id = %library_id, - sequence = sequence, - resource = "File", - "Emitted cache update event" - ); - } - - /// Emit a tag update event - pub fn emit_tag_updated(&self, library_id: Uuid, tag: Tag) { - let sequence = self.next_sequence(library_id); - - let envelope = EventEnvelope { - sequence, - library_id, - timestamp: Utc::now(), - event: Event::TagUpdated { library_id, tag }, - }; - - self.event_bus.emit(Event::Envelope(Box::new(envelope))); - } - - /// Emit a relationship change event - pub fn emit_tag_applied(&self, library_id: Uuid, tag_id: Uuid, entry_ids: Vec) { - let sequence = self.next_sequence(library_id); - - let envelope = EventEnvelope { - sequence, - library_id, - timestamp: Utc::now(), - event: Event::TagApplied { library_id, tag_id, entry_ids }, - }; - - self.event_bus.emit(Event::Envelope(Box::new(envelope))); - } - - /// Emit multiple events in a transaction (atomic batch) - pub fn emit_transaction(&self, library_id: Uuid, events: Vec) { - let sequence = self.next_sequence(library_id); - - let envelope = EventEnvelope { - sequence, - library_id, - timestamp: Utc::now(), - event: Event::BatchUpdate { - library_id, - updates: events, - transaction_id: Uuid::new_v4(), - }, - }; - - self.event_bus.emit(Event::Envelope(Box::new(envelope))); - } - - fn next_sequence(&self, library_id: Uuid) -> u64 { - let mut sequences = self.sequence_generator.lock().unwrap(); - let sequence = sequences.entry(library_id).or_insert(0); - *sequence += 1; - *sequence - } -} - -// Add to CoreContext -impl CoreContext { - pub fn cache_events(&self) -> &CacheEventEmitter { - &self.cache_event_emitter - } -} -``` - -**Usage in Actions**: -```rust -// core/src/ops/files/rename/action.rs - -impl LibraryAction for FileRenameAction { - async fn execute( - self, - library: Arc, - context: Arc, - ) -> ActionResult { - let entry_id = self.entry_id; - - // Perform rename in database - let updated_entry = rename_entry(&library, entry_id, &self.new_name).await?; - - // Construct full File domain object - let file = File::from_entry_id(library.clone(), entry_id).await?; - - // Emit through centralized emitter - context.cache_events().emit_file_updated(library.id(), file); - - Ok(RenameOutput { success: true }) - } -} -``` - -### 4. Resource Versioning for Conflict Resolution - -**Problem**: Optimistic updates need conflict detection - -**Solution**: Add version field to domain models - -```rust -// core/src/domain/file.rs (additions) - -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, Type)] -pub struct File { - pub id: Uuid, - - /// Resource version - incremented on each update - /// Used for optimistic concurrency control - pub version: u64, - - // ... rest of fields -} - -// Update strategy -pub enum MergeStrategy { - /// Always use server version (default) - ServerWins, - - /// Keep client version, reject server update - ClientWins, - - /// Merge fields if both changed different things - FieldLevelMerge, - - /// Use version with higher timestamp - LastWriteWins, -} -``` - -**Client-side conflict handling**: -```swift -func handleFileUpdate(_ event: Event.FileUpdated) { - let incomingFile = event.file - - guard let cachedFile = cache.getEntity(File.self, id: incomingFile.id) else { - // Not in cache, just add it - cache.updateEntity(incomingFile) - return - } - - // Check for conflicts - if cachedFile.version > incomingFile.version { - // Client has newer version - possible if optimistic update happened - print("️ Version conflict: client=\(cachedFile.version) server=\(incomingFile.version)") - - // Strategy: Server wins (safest), but log the conflict - cache.updateEntity(incomingFile) - - // Could implement more sophisticated merging here - } else { - // Normal case: server has newer or same version - cache.updateEntity(incomingFile) - } -} -``` - -### 5. Memory Management and GC - -**Problem**: Unbounded cache growth consumes memory - -**Solution**: Multi-tiered eviction strategy - -```swift -class NormalizedCache { - // Configuration - private let maxEntities: Int = 10_000 - private let maxMemoryMB: Int = 100 - private let entityTTL: TimeInterval = 3600 // 1 hour - - // Tracking - private var lruOrder: [String] = [] - private var accessTimestamps: [String: Date] = [:] - private var referenceCount: [String: Int] = [:] // How many queries reference this - - /// Update entity with automatic GC - func updateEntity(_ entity: T) { - let cacheKey = entity.cacheKey() - - // Store entity - entities[cacheKey] = entity - accessTimestamps[cacheKey] = Date() - - // Update LRU - touchEntity(cacheKey) - - // Check if eviction needed - if entities.count > maxEntities { - evictLRU() - } - - triggerUpdate() - } - - private func evictLRU() { - // Sort by: refCount (0 first) → lastAccess (oldest first) - let candidates = entities.keys.sorted { key1, key2 in - let ref1 = referenceCount[key1] ?? 0 - let ref2 = referenceCount[key2] ?? 0 - - if ref1 != ref2 { - return ref1 < ref2 // Unreferenced first - } - - let time1 = accessTimestamps[key1] ??

Overview - -This document specifies the design and implementation plan for **Sync Conduits**, a system for synchronizing file content between user-defined points within the Spacedrive VDFS. This feature is distinct from **Library Sync**, which is the separate, underlying process for replicating the VDFS index and its associated metadata. Sync Conduits provide users with explicit, transparent, and configurable control over how the physical file content is mirrored, backed up, or managed across different storage locations. - -### 2\. Core Concepts - -#### 2.1. Sync Conduit - -A **Sync Conduit** is the central concept. It is a durable, long-running job that represents a user-configured synchronization relationship between a **source Entry** and a **destination Entry**. Linking the conduit to an `Entry` rather than a `Location` provides maximum flexibility, allowing users to sync any directory without formally adding it as a managed `Location`. - -#### 2.2. State-Based Reconciliation - -The sync mechanism will use a **state-based reconciliation** model. Instead of replaying a log of events, the system periodically compares the live filesystem state of the source and destination against the VDFS index. This approach is resilient to offline changes and naturally compresses multiple intermediate operations (e.g., create -\> modify -\> delete) into a single, final state, significantly optimizing performance. - -### 3\. Use Cases & Sync Policies - -Users can create a Sync Conduit with one of four distinct policies, each designed for a specific use case. - -#### 3.1. Replicate (One-Way Mirror) - - * **Use Case**: Creating robust, automated backups of critical data. A photographer wants to automatically back up her `Active Projects` folder from her laptop's fast SSD to her large, archival NAS. She needs new photos and edits to be copied over automatically, and if she deletes a photo from her active folder, it should also be removed from the backup to keep it clean. - * **Methodology**: The conduit monitors the source `Entry`. It propagates all creates, modifies, and (optionally) deletes from the source to the destination. The destination becomes a perfect mirror of the source. - -#### 3.2. Synchronize (Two-Way) - - * **Use Case**: Keeping directories identical for working across multiple machines. A developer works on a project from a desktop PC at home and a laptop on the go. He needs the project folder to be identical on both machines, so changes made on his laptop during the day are available on his desktop in the evening, and vice-versa. - * **Methodology**: The conduit monitors both `Entries` and syncs changes bidirectionally. Conflict resolution uses a "last-writer-wins" strategy based on the file's modification timestamp. - -#### 3.3. Offload (Smart Cache) - - * **Use Case**: Freeing up space on a primary device with limited storage. A video editor works on a laptop with a small SSD but has a large home server. She wants to keep only recently accessed project files locally. Older files should be moved to the server to free up space, but their `Entry` must remain in the VDFS index so they are still searchable and can be retrieved on demand. - * **Methodology**: The conduit uses the `VolumeManager` to monitor free space on the source volume. When a user-defined threshold is met, it moves the least recently used files (based on the `Entry`'s `accessed_at` timestamp) to the destination. Files can be pinned with a "Pinned" tag to prevent offloading. - -#### 3.4. Archive (Move and Consolidate) - - * **Use Case**: Moving completed work to long-term storage and safely reclaiming space. A researcher finishes a data analysis project and wants to move the entire folder to a long-term archival drive. The transfer must be cryptographically verified before the original files are deleted from her workstation. - * **Methodology**: The conduit executes a `FileCopyJob` with `delete_after_copy` enabled. It leverages the **Commit-Then-Verify** step to ensure the file was transferred with perfect integrity before deleting the source copy. - -### 4\. Architectural Methodology - -#### 4.1. The Sync Lifecycle - -1. **Trigger**: Initiated by the `LocationWatcher` service or a timer (`Sync Cadence`). -2. **Delta Calculation**: The `SyncConduitJob` performs a live scan of source and destination filesystems. The VDFS index is used as a high-performance cache to quickly identify unchanged files. The result is an ephemeral list of `COPY` and `DELETE` operations. -3. **Execution**: The job dispatches `FileCopyAction` and `FileDeleteAction` operations to the durable job system. -4. **Verification**: After transfer, a **Commit-Then-Verify (CTV)** step is initiated via a `ValidationRequest` to the destination, which confirms the file's BLAKE3 hash. -5. **Completion**: Once all actions are verified, the sync cycle is complete. - -#### 4.2. Sync Cadence (Action Compression) - -Each Sync Conduit has a configurable **Sync Frequency** (e.g., Instantly, Every 5 Minutes). Because the system reconciles state rather than replaying an event log, any series of changes within the time window are naturally compressed. If a file is created, modified, and then deleted within a 5-minute window, the sync job will see that the file doesn't exist at the start and end of the window and will perform **no action**. - -### 5\. Detailed Implementation Plan - -#### 5.1. Database Schema Changes - -A new migration file will be created in `./src/infra/db/migration/` to add the `sync_relationships` table. - -```rust -// In a new migration file, e.g., mYYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_create_sync_relationships.rs - -#[derive(DeriveIden)] -enum SyncRelationships { - Table, Id, Uuid, SourceEntryId, DestinationEntryId, Policy, PolicyConfig, - Status, IsEnabled, LastSyncAt, CreatedAt, UpdatedAt, -} - -// In the up() function: -manager.create_table( - Table::create() - .table(SyncRelationships::Table) - .if_not_exists() - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::Id).integer().not_null().auto_increment().primary_key()) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::Uuid).uuid().not_null().unique_key()) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::SourceEntryId).integer().not_null()) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::DestinationEntryId).integer().not_null()) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::Policy).string().not_null()) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::PolicyConfig).json().not_null()) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::Status).string().not_null().default("idle")) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::IsEnabled).boolean().not_null().default(true)) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::LastSyncAt).timestamp_with_time_zone()) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::CreatedAt).timestamp_with_time_zone().not_null()) - .col(ColumnDef::new(SyncRelationships::UpdatedAt).timestamp_with_time_zone().not_null()) - .foreign_key( - ForeignKey::create() - .from(SyncRelationships::Table, SyncRelationships::SourceEntryId) - .to(entities::entry::Entity, entities::entry::Column::Id) - .on_delete(ForeignKeyAction::Cascade), - ) - .foreign_key( - ForeignKey::create() - .from(SyncRelationships::Table, SyncRelationships::DestinationEntryId) - .to(entities::entry::Entity, entities::entry::Column::Id) - .on_delete(ForeignKeyAction::Cascade), - ) - .to_owned(), -).await?; -``` - -*An associated `Entity` and `ActiveModel` will be created in `./src/infra/db/entities/`.* - -#### 5.2.

Actions (`src/ops/sync/action.rs`) - -New `LibraryAction`s will be created for managing conduits. - -**Input for Create Action (`src/ops/sync/input.rs`):** - -```rust -use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; - -#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] -pub struct SyncConduitCreateInput { - pub source_entry_id: i32, - pub destination_entry_id: i32, - pub policy: String, // "replicate", "synchronize", etc. - pub policy_config: serde_json::Value, // For policy-specific settings like cadence -} -``` - -#### 5.3. Networking Protocol - -The `file_transfer` protocol will be extended with messages for the CTV step. - -```rust -// In src/service/network/protocol/file_transfer.rs -enum FileTransferMessage { - // ... existing messages - ValidationRequest { - transfer_id: Uuid, - destination_path: String, - }, - ValidationResponse { - transfer_id: Uuid, - is_valid: bool, - blake3_hash: Option, - error: Option, - }, -} -``` - -#### 5.4. Modifications to Existing Systems - - * **`FileCopyJob`**: Add a `Verifying` state to its state machine. After a file is transferred, it will enter this state, send a `ValidationRequest`, and await a `ValidationResponse` before moving to `Completed`. - * **`LocationWatcher`**: The event handler will be updated to check if a filesystem event occurred within an `Entry` managed by a Sync Conduit. If the cadence allows, it will trigger a `SyncConduitJob`. - -### 6\. User Experience (UX) Flow - -1. A user right-clicks on a directory in the Spacedrive UI. -2. They select a new "Sync To..." option. -3. A dialog appears, allowing them to select a destination directory. -4. The user chooses a **Sync Policy** (e.g., Replicate) and configures its options (e.g., Sync Cadence). -5.

The system is built on Spacedrive's job architecture and networking infrastructure, focusing on three distinct sync domains: **index sync** (filesystem mirroring), **user metadata sync** (tags, ratings), and **file operations** (separate from sync). - -## Sync Domain Separation - -Spacedrive distinguishes between three separate data synchronization concerns: - -### 1\. Index Sync (Filesystem Mirror) - -- **Purpose**: Mirror each device's local filesystem index and file-specific metadata -- **Data**: Entry records, device-specific paths, file-level tags, location metadata -- **Conflicts**: Minimal - each device owns its filesystem index exclusively -- **Transport**: Via sync jobs over the networking layer -- **Source of Truth**: Local filesystem watcher events - -### 2\. User Metadata Sync (Library Content) - -- **Purpose**: Sync content-universal metadata across all instances of the same content within a library -- **Data**: Content-level tags, ContentIdentity metadata, library-scoped favorites -- **Conflicts**: Possible - multiple users can tag the same content simultaneously -- **Resolution**: Union merge for content tags, deterministic ContentIdentity UUIDs prevent most conflicts -- **Transport**: Real-time sync via networking + batch jobs for backfill - -### 3\. File Operations (Remote Operations) - -- **Purpose**: Actual file transfer, copying, and cross-device movement -- **Protocol**: Separate from sync - uses dedicated file transfer protocol -- **Trigger**: User-initiated operations (Spacedrop, cross-device copy/move) -- **Relationship**: File operations trigger filesystem changes → watcher events → index sync - -> **Key Insight**: Index sync is largely conflict-free because devices only modify their own filesystem indices. User metadata sync operates on library-scoped ContentIdentity, enabling content-universal tagging that follows the content across devices within the same library. - -## Core Principles - -1. **Universal Dependency Awareness** - Every sync operation automatically respects foreign key constraints and dependency order -2. **Job-Based Architecture** - All sync operations run as Spacedrive jobs with progress tracking, resumability, and error handling -3. **Networking Integration** - Built on the persistent networking layer with automatic device connection management -4. **Library-Scoped ContentIdentity** - Content is addressable within each library via deterministic UUIDs derived from content_id hash -5. **Dual Tagging System** - Users can tag individual files (Entry-level) or all instances of content (ContentIdentity-level) -6. **Domain Separation** - Index, user metadata, and file operations are distinct protocols with different conflict resolution -7. **One Leader Per Library** - Each library has a designated leader device that maintains the sync log -8. **Hybrid Change Tracking** - SeaORM hooks with async queuing + event system for comprehensive coverage -9. **Intelligent Conflicts** - Union merge for content tags, deterministic UUIDs prevent ContentIdentity conflicts -10. **Sync Readiness** - UUIDs optional until content identification complete, preventing premature sync of incomplete data -11. **Declarative Dependencies** - Simple `depends_on = ["location", "device"]` syntax with automatic circular resolution -12. **Derived Data is Not Synced** - Derived data, such as the closure table for hierarchical queries, is not synced directly. Each device rebuilds it locally from the synced source of truth (e.g., parent-child relationships), ensuring efficiency and consistency. - -## Architecture - -``` -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Library A (Photos) │ -│ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ -│ │ Leader: Device 1│ │Follower: Device 2│ │ -│ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │Phase 1: │ │ │ │Phase 1: │ │ │ -│ │ │CAPTURE │ │ │ │CAPTURE │ │ │ -│ │ │(SeaORM hooks)│ │ │ │(SeaORM hooks)│ │ │ -│ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ -│ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │Phase 2: │ │────│ │Phase 3: │ │ │ -│ │ │STORE │ │ │ │INGEST │ │ │ -│ │ │(Dependency │ │ │ │(Buffer & │ │ │ -│ │ │ ordering) │ │ │ │ reorder) │ │ │ -│ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ -│ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │ Sync Log │ │ │ │ Local DB │ │ │ -│ │ │ Networking │ │ │ │ Networking │ │ │ -│ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ -│ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Library Setup & Merging │ -│ │ -│ Device A (Photos.sdlibrary) Device B (Documents.sdlibrary) │ -│ │ │ │ -│ └─────── User Choice ──────────┘ │ -│ │ │ -│ ┌─────────▼─────────┐ │ -│ │ Sync Setup UI │ │ -│ │ - Choose leader │ │ -│ │ - Merge libraries │ │ -│ │ - Sync settings │ │ -│ └─────────┬─────────┘ │ -│ │ │ -│ ┌───────▼───────┐ │ -│ │ Merged Library │ │ -│ │ + Sync Jobs │ │ -│ └───────────────┘ │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - -Each library can have a different leader device.

- } else { - change - }; - - // Assign sequence number and persist to leader log - let seq = self.sync_log.append(processed_change).await?; - - // Broadcast to followers immediately (they'll apply in their own dependency order) - self.broadcast_change_to_followers(seq, processed_change).await?; - } - Ok(()) - } -} -``` - -#### Phase 3: Ingesting Sync Operations (Follower Application) - -Followers receive changes and must apply them in dependency order, even if they arrive out of order: - -```rust -pub struct SyncFollowerService { - pending_changes: BTreeMap, // Buffer for out-of-order changes - dependency_resolver: DependencyResolver, - last_applied_seq: u64, -} - -impl SyncFollowerService { - /// PHASE 3: INGEST - Apply dependency ordering when consuming from the leader log - pub async fn receive_sync_change(&mut self, seq: u64, change: SyncChange) -> Result<()> { - // Buffer the change - don't apply immediately - self.pending_changes.insert(seq, change); - - // Try to apply as many consecutive changes as possible in dependency order - self.try_apply_pending_changes().await - } - - async fn try_apply_pending_changes(&mut self) -> Result<()> { - // Collect consecutive changes we can apply - let mut applicable_changes = Vec::new(); - let mut next_seq = self.last_applied_seq + 1; - - while let Some(change) = self.pending_changes.remove(&next_seq) { - applicable_changes.push(change); - next_seq += 1; - } - - if applicable_changes.is_empty() { - return Ok(()); // Nothing to apply yet - } - - // CRITICAL: Re-order changes by dependency graph before applying - let dependency_batches = self.dependency_resolver.batch_by_dependencies(applicable_changes); - - // Apply each dependency level in order - for batch in dependency_batches { - self.apply_dependency_batch(batch).await?; - } - - self.last_applied_seq = next_seq - 1; - Ok(()) - } - - async fn apply_dependency_batch(&self, batch: SyncBatch) -> Result<()> { - // Within a dependency level, apply changes in priority order - for model_id in &batch.priority_order { - let changes = batch.get_changes_for_model(model_id); - - for change in changes { - // Apply individual change with circular dependency handling - if let Some(resolution) = change.get_circular_resolution() { - self.apply_change_with_circular_resolution(change, resolution).await?; - } else { - self.apply_change_directly(change).await?; - } - } - } - Ok(()) - } -} -``` - -### Key Differences Between Phases - -The three phases have fundamentally different requirements: - -| Phase | Dependency Ordering | Performance Priority | Error Handling | -| ----------- | ------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------- | -| **Capture** | Not needed | Minimal latency | Never fail | -| **Store** | Required | Consistency | Retry with backoff | -| **Ingest** | Critical | Batch efficiency | Out-of-order resilience | - -#### Why This Separation Matters - -**1. Capture Phase Simplicity:** - -- Must be synchronous and fast (called from SeaORM hooks) -- Can't afford dependency graph calculations -- Just records "something changed" without ordering - -**2. Leader Store Phase Consistency:** - -- Can be asynchronous and more expensive -- Must establish canonical dependency order -- Handles circular dependency resolution once -- Assigns authoritative sequence numbers - -**3. Follower Ingest Phase Resilience:** - -- Must handle network delays and out-of-order delivery -- Re-applies dependency ordering on received changes -- Buffers changes until dependencies are satisfied - -#### Example: Creating an Entry with UserMetadata - -```rust -// Phase 1: CAPTURE (happens synchronously in transaction) -let entry = EntryActiveModel.insert(db).await?; -// -> Queues SyncChange for "entry" (no dependency ordering) - -let metadata = UserMetadataActiveModel { - entry_uuid: entry.uuid, -}.insert(db).await?; -// -> Queues SyncChange for "user_metadata" (no dependency ordering) - -// Phase 2: STORE (happens asynchronously on leader) -// Leader processes queue and discovers: -// - Entry depends on: ["location", "content_identity"] -// - UserMetadata depends on: ["entry", "content_identity"] -// - UserMetadata has circular resolution: entry.metadata_id nullable -// -// Leader writes to sync log: -// Seq 100: Device record (no deps) -// Seq 101: Location record (depends on device) -// Seq 102: ContentIdentity record (no deps) -// Seq 103: Entry record with metadata_id=null (circular resolution) -// Seq 104: UserMetadata record -// Seq 105: Entry update with metadata_id= (circular resolution completion) - -// Phase 3: INGEST (happens on followers) -// Follower receives changes possibly out of order: -// Receives seq 104 (UserMetadata) before seq 103 (Entry) -// -> Buffers UserMetadata until Entry is applied -// -> Applies in dependency order regardless of receipt order - -// SyncLeaderJob processes captured changes on leader device (Phase 2: STORE) -impl SyncLeaderJob { -async fn process*captured_changes(&mut self, ctx: JobContext<'*>) -> JobResult<()> { -// Collect all pending changes from capture phase -let captured_changes = SYNC_QUEUE.drain_pending(); - - if !captured_changes.is_empty() { - // PHASE 2: Apply dependency ordering and store to sync log - let dependency_batches = SYNC_REGISTRY.batch_changes_by_dependencies(captured_changes); - - // Process each dependency batch in order - for batch in dependency_batches { - self.store_dependency_batch(&ctx, batch).await?; - } - - ctx.checkpoint().await?; - } - Ok(()) - } - - async fn store_dependency_batch(&mut self, ctx: &JobContext<'_>, batch: SyncBatch) -> JobResult<()> { - // Within each dependency level, we can process in parallel - let futures: Vec<_> = batch.priority_order.iter().map(|model_id| { - let model_changes = batch.get_changes_for_model(model_id); - self.store_model_changes_to_log(model_changes) - }).collect(); - - // Wait for entire dependency level to complete before moving to next - futures::future::try_join_all(futures).await?; - Ok(()) - } - - async fn store_model_changes_to_log(&self, changes: Vec) -> JobResult<()> { - for change in changes { - // Handle circular dependencies during log storage - let processed_change = if let Some(resolution) = change.get_circular_resolution() { - self.apply_circular_resolution_to_log_entry(change, resolution).await? - } else { - change - }; - - // Assign sequence number and persist to leader sync log - let seq = self.sync_log.append(processed_change.clone()).await?; - - // Broadcast to followers immediately (they'll buffer and reorder) - self.broadcast_change_to_followers(seq, processed_change).await?; - } - Ok(()) - } - -} - -// SyncFollowerJob ingests changes from leader (Phase 3: INGEST) -impl SyncFollowerJob { -async fn process*received_changes(&mut self, ctx: JobContext<'*>) -> JobResult<()> { -// PHASE 3: Buffer and apply changes in dependency order -// (Uses the SyncFollowerService from the three-phase architecture) - - while let Some((seq, change)) = self.receive_change_from_leader().await? { - self.follower_service.receive_sync_change(seq, change).await?; - } - - ctx.checkpoint().await?; - Ok(()) - } - -} -``` - -### 6\.

The elegant declarative API means developers simply declare `depends_on = ["location", "device"]` and the sync system handles all ordering automatically. - -By embedding dependency management directly into the `Syncable` trait and making it the default behavior for every sync operation, we ensure that Spacedrive's relational model "just works" without developers needing to think about constraint ordering, circular references, or special sync jobs. - -The `#[derive(Syncable)]` macro reduces adding sync support to a model down to 3-5 lines of declarative code, while the automatic dependency graph generation ensures all sync operations respect foreign key constraints without any manual coordination. - -This approach transforms sync from a complex, error-prone subsystem into a simple, declarative feature that scales naturally with Spacedrive's data model complexity. - -## Further Enhancements & Detailed Considerations - -This section elaborates on key areas to provide more robust details and address potential challenges in the sync system's design and implementation. - -### 1\. Enhanced Leadership Management - -To ensure high availability and resilience for library leadership: - -#### Initial Leader Selection - -When a new library is created, the device initiating its creation automatically becomes the initial leader. -When existing libraries are merged during pairing, the user explicitly chooses which device becomes the leader (either the local device, the remote device, or a newly created shared library leader). - -#### Offline Leader Detection & Reassignment - -- **Heartbeats**: Leader devices periodically send heartbeats to their followers over the persistent networking layer. -- **Failure Detection**: Followers continuously monitor these heartbeats. If a follower misses a configurable number of consecutive heartbeats from the leader, it will consider the leader potentially offline. -- **Leader Election Protocol**: - 1. Upon detecting an offline leader, followers will initiate a leader election protocol. This could involve a simple deterministic rule (e.g., the device with the lexicographically smallest `device_id` among the online followers becomes the new candidate leader) or a more robust consensus algorithm (e.g., Paxos or Raft-lite adapted for a small, dynamic peer group). - 2. The candidate leader attempts to broadcast its claim to leadership to all other known library devices. - 3. Followers that agree on the new candidate (e.g., by verifying the previous leader's prolonged absence) update their `sync_leadership` role for that library. - 4. The newly elected leader updates its `sync_leadership` role in its local database and notifies other devices of the transition. -- **Timeout & Retries**: The leader election process will have configurable timeouts and retry mechanisms to handle network transience. - -**Rust Design for Leader Election:** - -```rust -// In persistent/service.rs or a dedicated leader_election.rs -pub enum LeaderElectionMessage { - ProposeLeader { library_id: Uuid, candidate_device_id: Uuid, epoch: u64 }, - AcknowledgeProposal { library_id: Uuid, proposed_device_id: Uuid, epoch: u64, voter_device_id: Uuid }, - ConfirmLeader { library_id: Uuid, leader_device_id: Uuid, epoch: u64 }, -} - -// Implement ProtocolHandler for LeaderElectionMessage -#[async_trait::async_trait] -impl ProtocolHandler for LeaderElectionHandler { - async fn handle_message( - &self, - device_id: Uuid, // Sender of the message - message: DeviceMessage, - ) -> Result> { - match message { - DeviceMessage::Custom { protocol, payload, .. } if protocol == "leader-election" => { - let election_msg: LeaderElectionMessage = serde_json::from_value(payload)?; - // Handle different election message types (Propose, Acknowledge, Confirm) - // Update local leader state and potentially send responses - Ok(None) - }, - _ => Ok(None), - } - } - // ... other trait methods -} - -// Function to trigger election -impl SyncLeaderService { - pub async fn initiate_leader_election(&self, library_id: Uuid) -> Result<()> { - let current_epoch = self.get_current_epoch(library_id).await?; - let new_epoch = current_epoch + 1; - let self_device_id = self.device_manager.get_local_device_id().await?; - - // Propose self as leader (or a deterministic candidate) - let proposal = LeaderElectionMessage::ProposeLeader { - library_id, - candidate_device_id: self_device_id, - epoch: new_epoch, - }; - - // Broadcast proposal to all known devices in the library - self.networking_service.broadcast_message( - &library_id, - DeviceMessage::Custom { - protocol: "leader-election".to_string(), - version: 1, - payload: serde_json::to_value(proposal)?, - metadata: HashMap::new(), - }, - ).await?; - // Manage state for acknowledgements - Ok(()) - } -} -``` - -#### Split-Brain Prevention - -- **Quorum (for multi-leader support)**: While the current design is "One Leader Per Library", if future enhancements consider multi-leader or more dynamic leadership, a quorum-based approach would be necessary to prevent split-brain. This means a new leader can only be elected if a majority of the known devices (or a predefined set of trusted devices) agree. -- **Last-Write-Wins with Epochs (for single-leader)**: For the current single-leader model, each leadership transition could involve an incrementing "epoch" number. Any sync operation would carry the current epoch. If a device receives an operation from a leader with an older epoch, it would reject it and initiate a new leader election or update its knowledge of the current leader. - -**Rust Design for Epochs:** - -```rust -// Add epoch to SyncLogEntry -pub struct SyncLogEntry { - // ... existing fields - pub epoch: u64, // Epoch of the leader when the change was recorded -} - -// Add epoch to SyncPosition -pub struct SyncPosition { - // ... existing fields - pub last_applied_epoch: u64, // Last epoch applied by this follower -} - -// Leader Service: Assign current epoch -impl SyncLeaderService { - async fn write_model_changes_to_log(&self, changes: Vec) -> Result<()> { - let current_epoch = self.get_current_epoch(self.library_id).await?; - for mut change in changes { - change.epoch = current_epoch; // Assign current leader epoch - // ... assign sequence number and persist - } - Ok(()) - } -} - -// Follower Service: Validate epoch -impl SyncFollowerService { - async fn apply_dependency_batch(&self, batch: SyncBatch) -> Result<()> { - let current_library_epoch = self.get_current_library_epoch(self.library_id).await?; - for model_id in &batch.priority_order { - let changes = batch.get_changes_for_model(model_id); - for change in changes { - if change.epoch < current_library_epoch { - // This change is from an older, potentially defunct leader.

Detailed Conflict Resolution & User Experience - -#### Conflict Prompting and User Interface - -For "True Conflicts" (e.g., `UserMetadata` notes where changes diverge): - -- **Conflict Indicator**: The UI will display a clear visual indicator on the conflicting item (e.g., an icon on the `Entry` or `ContentIdentity` details view). -- **Conflict Resolution View**: Clicking the indicator will open a dedicated conflict resolution view. This view will: - - Show the local version of the data. - - Show the remote conflicting version of the data. - - Display a diff (if applicable, e.g., for text notes). - - Provide options: "Keep Local," "Keep Remote," "Merge Manually" (for text fields), or "Discard All." -- **Batch Resolution**: For multiple conflicts, the UI may offer a batch resolution interface with general rules (e.g., "Always Keep Local for all similar conflicts"). -- **Background Notification**: Users will receive a system notification (e.g., a toast notification or a badge on the sync status icon) when conflicts are detected, directing them to the conflict resolution area. - -#### Automatic Fallback Strategies - -- **Default Behavior (User-Configurable)**: Users will be able to set a default conflict resolution strategy in settings, such as: - - **"Latest Wins"**: The most recently modified version is automatically applied. - - **"Local Always Wins"**: The local version is always preserved. - - **"Remote Always Wins"**: The remote version is always applied. - - **"Prompt Always"**: Always requires manual intervention. -- **Notes Merge Logic**: For `UserMetadata` notes, the `merge_notes` function will by default concatenate notes with timestamps, providing a historical record: `merge_notes(local.notes, remote.notes)` could result in: - ``` - "Local notes (last modified 2025-06-24 10:00:00): Original text. - Remote notes (last modified 2025-06-24 10:01:30): Conflicting text." - ``` -- **Custom Data Merge Logic**: The `merge_custom_data` function (for `custom_data` in `UserMetadata`) will perform a deep merge of JSON objects, prioritizing the remote value for conflicting keys, but adding new keys from both sides.

Scalability and Maintenance of Sync Log and Positions - -#### Sync Log Pruning and Archiving - -- **Configurable Retention**: Users/administrators can configure a retention period for `sync_log` entries (e.g., 3 months, 1 year, indefinite). -- **Archiving**: Old `sync_log` entries (beyond the retention period) could be archived to a separate, less frequently accessed storage location (e.g., compressed files) to reduce the primary database size. -- **Summarization**: Periodically, the system could run a background job to summarize change history for long-lived records, allowing older detailed entries to be pruned while retaining an aggregated view. -- **`first_seen_at` and `last_verified_at`**: These fields in `ContentIdentity` already contribute to long-term data consistency and can aid in pruning older, less relevant `SyncLogEntry` data. - -**Rust Design for Log Management:** - -```rust -// In a dedicated log_manager.rs -pub struct SyncLogManager { - db: DatabaseConnection, - retention_policy: SyncLogRetentionPolicy, -} - -pub enum SyncLogRetentionPolicy { - Days(u32), - Months(u32), - Indefinite, -} - -impl SyncLogManager { - pub async fn prune_old_entries(&self) -> Result { - if let SyncLogRetentionPolicy::Days(days) = self.retention_policy { - let cutoff_date = Utc::now() - Duration::days(days as i64); - let deleted_count = SyncLogEntry::delete_many() - .filter(sync_log_entry::Column::Timestamp.lt(cutoff_date)) - .exec(&self.db) - .await? - .rows_affected; - Ok(deleted_count as usize) - } else { - Ok(0) // No pruning if policy is indefinite - } - } - - pub async fn start_pruning_task(&self) { - let manager = self.clone(); - tokio::spawn(async move { - loop { - tokio::time::sleep(Duration::hours(24)).await; // Run daily - if let Err(e) = manager.prune_old_entries().await { - tracing::error!("Failed to prune sync log entries: {}", e); - } - } - }); - } -} -``` - -#### `SyncPositionManager` Scalability - -- The `sync_positions` table's primary key on `(device_id, library_id)` is efficient for direct lookups. -- As the number of devices and libraries scales, indexing on `updated_at` could be beneficial for quickly identifying stale positions or devices that need re-syncing. -- The actual sync log entries themselves are processed in batches, which limits the in-memory load during active sync operations, rather than needing to load the entire history. - -### 4\. Performance Optimization for Backfill and Entity Requests - -#### Parallelizing Backfill - -- **Domain-based Parallelism**: During `full_backfill` and `incremental_backfill`, instead of strictly sequential processing of all changes from `current_seq`, the system can fetch and process changes from _different_ `SyncDomain`s in parallel, as their conflict resolution strategies are distinct and often independent at the high level. -- **Batching within Domains**: While the current design pulls batches of changes, further optimization can be achieved by allowing multiple concurrent pull requests for different sequence ranges within the same domain, provided dependencies within those ranges are respected at the application phase. -- **Network Service Enhancements**: The `NetworkingService` could expose an API to pull multiple `SyncLogEntry` batches concurrently, managing the underlying LibP2P streams efficiently. - -**Rust Design for Parallel Backfill:** - -```rust -impl BackfillSyncJob { - async fn full_backfill(&mut self, ctx: &JobContext<'_>) -> JobResult<()> { - let networking = ctx.networking_service() - .ok_or(JobError::Other("Networking not available".into()))?; - - let target_seq = networking.get_latest_seq(self.leader_device_id, self.library_id).await?; - let mut current_seq = 0; - let batch_size = 1000; - - while current_seq < target_seq { - let remaining = target_seq - current_seq; - let current_limit = std::cmp::min(batch_size, remaining as usize); - - // Fetch changes for both Index and UserMetadata domains concurrently - let (index_changes_res, user_metadata_changes_res) = tokio::join!( - networking.pull_changes( - self.leader_device_id, - self.library_id, - current_seq, - Some(current_limit), - vec![SyncDomain::Index] - ), - networking.pull_changes( - self.leader_device_id, - self.library_id, - current_seq, // Still pull from same sequence base for consistency - Some(current_limit), - vec![SyncDomain::UserMetadata] - ) - ); - - let mut all_batch_changes = Vec::new(); - if let Ok(index_batch) = index_changes_res { - all_batch_changes.extend(index_batch.changes); - } - if let Ok(user_metadata_batch) = user_metadata_changes_res { - all_batch_changes.extend(user_metadata_batch.changes); - } - - // The SYNC_REGISTRY.batch_changes_by_dependencies will correctly reorder - // changes from both domains based on their inter-dependencies. - let batched_changes = SYNC_REGISTRY.batch_changes_by_dependencies(all_batch_changes); - - for dep_batch in batched_changes { - if let Err(e) = self.apply_batch_with_circular_resolution(dep_batch, ctx).await { - self.state.as_mut().unwrap().failed_records.push(FailedRecord { - seq: current_seq, // Note: This seq might not be accurate for individual failed records - model_type: "batch".to_string(), - record_id: format!("seq_{}", current_seq), - error: e.to_string(), - }); - } - } - // Max of the latest_seq from individual pulls, or simply current_seq + current_limit - current_seq = current_seq + current_limit as u64; - - ctx.progress(Progress::percentage(current_seq as f64 / target_seq as f64)); - ctx.checkpoint().await?; - } - Ok(()) - } -} -``` - -#### Batching `sync_ready_backfill` Requests - -- **Batched Entity Requests**: Instead of `request_entity_from_leader` for each `entity_uuid`, the `sync_ready_backfill` strategy will gather lists of `entity_uuid`s for a given `model_type` and send a single `SyncPullModelBatch` request (or similar) to the leader. The leader would then return the full data for all requested entities in a single response. This significantly reduces round-trip times and network overhead. -- **Progress Granularity**: Progress updates for these batched operations will be based on the completion of full batches rather than individual entities. - -**Rust Design for Batched Entity Requests:** - -```rust -// Add new message type to DeviceMessage -pub enum DeviceMessage { - // ... existing messages - SyncPullModelBatchRequest { - library_id: Uuid, - model_type: String, - record_ids: Vec, // List of UUIDs to request - }, - SyncPullModelBatchResponse { - library_id: Uuid, - model_type: String, - changes: Vec, // Full SyncLogEntry for each requested record - }, -} - -impl BackfillSyncJob { - async fn sync_ready_backfill(&mut self, ctx: &JobContext<'_>) -> JobResult<()> { - let networking = ctx.networking_service() - .ok_or(JobError::Other("Networking not available".into()))?; - - let sync_ready_entities = self.get_sync_ready_entities().await?; // Map: model_type -> Vec - let sync_order = SYNC_REGISTRY.get_sync_order(); - let batch_size = 100; // Batch size for requesting entities - - for batch_info in sync_order { // batch_info has models in dependency order - for entity_type in &batch_info.models { - ctx.progress(Progress::message(&format!("Backfilling sync-ready {}", entity_type))); - - if let Some(entities_uuids) = sync_ready_entities.get(*entity_type) { - for chunk in entities_uuids.chunks(batch_size) { - let record_ids: Vec = chunk.iter().map(|u| u.to_string()).collect(); - - let request = DeviceMessage::SyncPullModelBatchRequest { - library_id: self.library_id, - model_type: entity_type.to_string(), - record_ids: record_ids.clone(), - }; - - let response = networking.send_to_device( - self.leader_device_id, - request - ).await?; - - if let DeviceMessage::SyncPullModelBatchResponse { changes, .. } = response { - let batched_changes = SYNC_REGISTRY.batch_changes_by_dependencies(changes); - for dep_batch in batched_changes { - if let Err(e) = self.apply_batch_with_circular_resolution(dep_batch, ctx).await { - tracing::warn!( - "Failed to backfill batch for {}: {:?}.

This ensures the tag correctly inherits the conflict resolution strategy of its parent metadata. -- **Performance Impact**: This lookup adds a minor database query overhead for each `user_metadata_tag` change during phases 2 and 3. Given that tags are typically part of a larger `UserMetadata` operation, this overhead is considered acceptable and ensures correct domain-specific merging. - -**Rust Design for Dynamic Domain Lookup:** - -```rust -// In user_metadata_tag::ActiveModel implementation of Syncable -impl Syncable for user_metadata_tag::ActiveModel { - // ... - fn get_sync_domain(&self) -> SyncDomain { - // This method will perform the lookup at runtime when needed by the sync services. - // It's a placeholder for the actual lookup logic which will be in the sync service. - SyncDomain::UserMetadata // Default for trait definition, actual determined dynamically - } -} - -// In SyncLeaderService or SyncFollowerService, when processing UserMetadataTag changes: -async fn process_user_metadata_tag_change(&self, change: SyncChange) -> Result<()> { - let tag_data: user_metadata_tag::Model = serde_json::from_value(change.data)?; - - // Look up the parent UserMetadata record - let user_metadata_record = user_metadata::Entity::find() - .filter(user_metadata::Column::Uuid.eq(tag_data.user_metadata_uuid)) - .one(&self.db) // or &ctx.db() - .await? - .ok_or_else(|| JobError::Other("UserMetadata not found for tag".into()))?; - - let actual_sync_domain = user_metadata::ActiveModel::from_entity(user_metadata_record).get_sync_domain(); - - // Now process the user_metadata_tag change with the correct domain - // (e.g., store in sync log with this domain, or apply with this domain's merge logic) - let processed_change = SyncChange { - domain: actual_sync_domain, // Override with the dynamically determined domain - ..change - }; - // Proceed with storing/applying processed_change - Ok(()) -} -``` - -### 6\. Offline Queue Persistence - -The `OfflineQueue` for changes collected when a device is offline will be persisted to disk to prevent data loss upon application shutdown or crash: - -- **Transactional Persistence**: When `SYNC_QUEUE.flush_for_transaction` is called during database operations, in addition to persisting to the `sync_log` (on the leader), or buffering for later application (on the follower), these changes will also be written to a local, append-only "offline journal" file before the transaction commits. -- **Journal Structure**: The offline journal will store serialized `SyncChange` objects in a structured, fault-tolerant format (e.g., line-delimited JSON or a simple binary log). -- **Recovery on Startup**: Upon application startup, before any new changes are captured, the system will check for and replay any pending changes from the offline journal. Successfully replayed changes will be marked as processed or removed from the journal. -- **Deduplication**: When replaying, the system will handle potential duplicates (e.g., if a change was partially synced before going offline) using the `record_id` and `timestamp` from `SyncChange`. - -**Rust Design for Offline Journal:** - -```rust -// In persistent/offline_journal.rs -pub struct OfflineJournal { - path: PathBuf, - writer: Arc>>, -} - -impl OfflineJournal { - pub async fn new(data_dir: &Path) -> Result { - let journal_path = data_dir.join("offline_journal.log"); - let file = OpenOptions::new() - .create(true) - .append(true) // Append to existing log - .open(&journal_path) - .await?; - Ok(Self { - path: journal_path, - writer: Arc::new(Mutex::new(BufWriter::new(file.into_std().await))), - }) - } - - pub async fn append_change(&self, change: &SyncChange) -> Result<()> { - let mut writer = self.writer.lock().unwrap(); // Blocking lock for simplicity, consider async mutex for production - let serialized = serde_json::to_string(change)?; - writeln!(writer, "{}", serialized)?; - writer.flush()?; // Ensure immediate write to disk - Ok(()) - } - - pub async fn read_all_changes(&self) -> Result> { - let file = File::open(&self.path).await?; - let reader = BufReader::new(file); - let mut changes = Vec::new(); - let mut lines = reader.lines(); - while let Some(line) = lines.next_line().await? { - if let Ok(change) = serde_json::from_str(&line) { - changes.push(change); - } else { - tracing::warn!("Corrupted line in offline journal: {}", line); - } - } - Ok(changes) - } - - // After successful flush, clear the journal - pub async fn clear(&self) -> Result<()> { - let mut writer = self.writer.lock().unwrap(); - writer.get_mut().set_len(0)?; // Truncate the file - writer.flush()?; - Ok(()) - } -} - -// Modify SYNC_QUEUE to use OfflineJournal -impl SyncQueue { - // ... - pub async fn flush_for_transaction(&self, db: &DatabaseConnection, journal: &OfflineJournal) -> Result<()> { - let changes = self.drain_pending(); - if changes.is_empty() { - return Ok(()); - } - - db.transaction(|txn| async move { - for change in changes { - // First, append to offline journal (blocking for safety) - journal.append_change(&change).await?; // This should be synchronous or use a dedicated task - self.persist_sync_change(change, txn).await?; // Persist to sync_log - } - Ok(()) - }).await?; - - // After successful transaction, clear the journal (or mark entries as processed) - // For simplicity here, clearing whole journal; production might clear individual entries. - journal.clear().await?; - Ok(()) - } -} -``` - -### 7\. Refined Security Considerations - -- **Rate Limiting on Pairing Attempts**: - - **Per-IP/Per-Device Limiting**: The networking service will implement rate limiting on `PairingRequest` messages. This will involve tracking incoming requests from specific IP addresses or LibP2P `PeerId`s. - - **Sliding Window/Token Bucket**: A sliding window or token bucket algorithm will be used to limit the number of pairing attempts within a given time frame (e.g., 5 attempts per minute from a single source). - - **Blocking**: Excessive attempts will result in temporary blocking of the source. - -**Rust Design for Rate Limiting:** - -```rust -// In networking/protocols/pairing/protocol.rs or a middleware -use governor::{Quota, RateLimiter}; -use governor::state::keyed::Default}; -use std::time::Duration; - -pub struct PairingRateLimiter { - // Limiter for global pairing requests (e.g., per IP/PeerId) - limiter: RateLimiter, -} - -impl PairingRateLimiter { - pub fn new() -> Self { - Self { - limiter: RateLimiter::keyed(Quota::per_second(5).allow_burst(1)), // 5 attempts per second, 1 burst - } - } - - pub fn allow_request(&self, peer_id: &PeerId) -> bool { - self.limiter.check_key(peer_id).is_ok() - } -} - -// Integrate into PairingProtocolHandler or NetworkingService -#[async_trait::async_trait] -impl ProtocolHandler for PairingProtocolHandler { - async fn handle_message( - &self, - peer_id: Uuid, // Or PeerId in libp2p context - message: DeviceMessage, - ) -> Result> { - if !self.rate_limiter.allow_request(&peer_id) { - self.logger.warn(SyncPhase::Ingest, "Rate limit exceeded for pairing request", Some(SyncContext { - device_id: peer_id, // Assuming PeerId can be mapped to a Uuid for logging - metadata: json!({"reason": "rate_limit"}), - ..Default::default() - })).await; - return Err(NetworkError::Protocol("Rate limit exceeded".into())); - } - // ... proceed with message handling - Ok(None) - } -} -``` - -- **User Confirmation UI for Pairing Requests**: - - **Explicit Approval**: After a `PairingRequest` is received and cryptographically verified, the initiator device (Alice) will _not_ automatically complete the pairing. Instead, a UI prompt will appear, asking the user to confirm the pairing with the remote device (Bob's `DeviceInfo` will be displayed). - - **Timeout for Confirmation**: If the user does not respond within a configurable timeout, the pairing session will expire and fail. - - **API for Confirmation**: The `NetworkingService` will expose an API (e.g., `confirm_pairing_request(session_id, accept: bool)`) that the UI can call based on user interaction. - -**Rust Design for User Confirmation:** - -```rust -// New state for PairingSession -pub enum PairingState { - // ... existing states - ConfirmationPending { remote_device_info: DeviceInfo }, // Waiting for user confirmation -} - -impl PairingProtocolHandler { - // This function would be called by the UI - pub async fn confirm_pairing_request(&self, session_id: Uuid, accept: bool) -> Result<()> { - let mut sessions = self.active_sessions.write().await; - if let Some(session) = sessions.get_mut(&session_id) { - match &session.state { - PairingState::ConfirmationPending { .. } => { - if accept { - session.state = PairingState::Completed; - // Trigger finalization (e.g., send Complete message) - self.send_pairing_complete(session_id, true, None).await?; - self.logger.info(SyncPhase::Store, "User confirmed pairing", Some(SyncContext { - library_id: Uuid::nil(), // N/A for pairing - device_id: session.remote_device_id.unwrap_or_default(), - metadata: json!({"session_id": session_id}), - ..Default::default() - })).await; - } else { - session.state = PairingState::Failed { reason: "User rejected".to_string() }; - self.send_pairing_complete(session_id, false, Some("User rejected".to_string())).await?; - self.logger.warn(SyncPhase::Store, "User rejected pairing", Some(SyncContext { - library_id: Uuid::nil(), // N/A for pairing - device_id: session.remote_device_id.unwrap_or_default(), - metadata: json!({"session_id": session_id}), - ..Default::default() - })).await; - } - self.persistence.save_sessions(&sessions.clone().into_iter().collect()).await?; // Persist new state - Ok(()) - } - _ => Err(NetworkError::Protocol("Not in confirmation pending state".into())), - } - } else { - Err(NetworkError::DeviceNotFound(session_id)) - } - } -} - -// When PairingProtocolHandler receives Response message, transition to ConfirmationPending -// if auto-accept is not enabled. -``` - -- **Device Limits**: - - **User-Configurable Limits**: Spacedrive will allow users to configure limits on the total number of devices that can be paired to a single library or across all libraries. - - **Policy Enforcement**: When a new pairing request is initiated, the system will check against these limits.

Index Sync (Filesystem Mirror) - -- **Purpose**: Mirror each device's local filesystem index and file-specific metadata -- **Data**: Entry records (with `parent_id`), device-specific paths, file-level tags, location metadata -- **Conflicts**: Minimal - each device owns its filesystem index exclusively -- **Transport**: Via the live sync service and dedicated backfill jobs over the networking layer -- **Source of Truth**: Local filesystem watcher events - -> The `Entry` records, including their `parent_id` relationships, are the source of truth for the filesystem hierarchy. Derived data structures like the `entry_closure` table are explicitly excluded from sync and are rebuilt locally on each device. This minimizes sync traffic and prevents complex conflicts. - -### 2. User Metadata Sync (Library Content) - -- **Purpose**: Sync content-universal metadata across all instances of the same content within a library -- **Data**: Content-level tags, ContentIdentity metadata, library-scoped favorites -- **Conflicts**: Possible - multiple users can tag the same content simultaneously -- **Resolution**: Union merge for content tags, deterministic ContentIdentity UUIDs prevent most conflicts -- **Transport**: Real-time sync via the live service + batch jobs for backfill - -### 3. File Operations (Remote Operations) - -- **Purpose**: Actual file transfer, copying, and cross-device movement -- **Protocol**: Separate from sync - uses dedicated file transfer protocol -- **Trigger**: User-initiated operations (Spacedrop, cross-device copy/move) -- **Relationship**: File operations trigger filesystem changes → watcher events → index sync - -> **Key Insight**: Index sync is largely conflict-free because devices only modify their own filesystem indices. User metadata sync operates on library-scoped ContentIdentity, enabling content-universal tagging that follows the content across devices within the same library. - -## Core Principles - -1. **Universal Dependency Awareness** - Every sync operation automatically respects foreign key constraints and dependency order -2. **Jobs for Finite Tasks, Services for Long-Running Processes** - Finite tasks (`Backfill`) are durable, resumable jobs. Continuous operations (`LiveSync`) are persistent background services. -3. **Networking Integration** - Built on the persistent networking layer with automatic device connection management -4. **Library-Scoped ContentIdentity** - Content is addressable within each library via deterministic UUIDs derived from content_id hash -5. **Dual Tagging System** - Users can tag individual files (Entry-level) or all instances of content (ContentIdentity-level) -6. **Domain Separation** - Index, user metadata, and file operations are distinct protocols with different conflict resolution -7. **One Leader Per Library** - Each library has a designated leader device that maintains the sync log -8. **Hybrid Change Tracking** - SeaORM hooks with async queuing + event system for comprehensive coverage -9. **Intelligent Conflicts** - Union merge for content tags, deterministic UUIDs prevent ContentIdentity conflicts -10. **Sync Readiness** - UUIDs optional until content identification complete, preventing premature sync of incomplete data -11. **Declarative Dependencies** - Simple `depends_on = ["location", "device"]` syntax with automatic circular resolution -12. **Derived Data is Not Synced** - Derived data, such as the closure table for hierarchical queries, is not synced directly. Each device rebuilds it locally from the synced source of truth (e.g., parent-child relationships), ensuring efficiency and consistency. -13. **Privacy through Log Redaction & Compaction** - The sync log on the leader is not permanent. A background process will periodically redact sensitive data from deleted records and compact the log by creating snapshots to preserve privacy and save space. - -## Architecture - -The architecture separates finite, resumable **Jobs** from persistent, long-running **Services**. - -- **Jobs** (`BackfillSyncJob`): Have a clear start and end. They are queued and executed by the Job Manager. They are perfect for bringing a device up-to-date. -- **Services** (`LiveSyncService`): A singleton process that runs for the entire application lifecycle. It listens for real-time changes and can queue Jobs when needed. - -``` -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Library A (Photos) │ -│ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ -│ │ Leader: Device 1│ │Follower: Device 2│ │ -│ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │Phase 1: │ │ │ │Phase 1: │ │ │ -│ │ │CAPTURE │ │ │ │CAPTURE │ │ │ -│ │ │(SeaORM hooks)│ │ │ │(SeaORM hooks)│ │ │ -│ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ -│ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │Phase 2: │ │────│ │Phase 3: │ │ │ -│ │ │STORE │ │ │ │INGEST │ │ │ -│ │ │(Dependency │ │ │ │(Buffer & │ │ │ -│ │ │ ordering) │ │ │ │ reorder) │ │ │ -│ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ -│ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ ┌─────────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │ Sync Log │ │ │ │ Local DB │ │ │ -│ │ │ Networking │ │ │ │ Networking │ │ │ -│ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ └─────────────┘ │ │ -│ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ -``` - -## Implementation - -### 1. Sync Jobs & Services - -#### Backfill & Setup Jobs - -Finite operations like the initial sync for a device or a catch-up backfill are implemented as Jobs. They are queued by the system when a new device pairs or an existing device comes online after a long time. - -```rust -#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, Job)] -pub struct BackfillSyncJob { - pub library_id: Uuid, - pub target_device_id: Uuid, - // ... other options -} - -impl Job for BackfillSyncJob { - const NAME: &'static str = "backfill_sync"; - const RESUMABLE: bool = true; - const DESCRIPTION: Option<&'static str> = Some("Backfills historical sync data from a peer."); -} - -// ... JobHandler implementation for BackfillSyncJob -``` - -#### Live Sync Service (Long-Running Process) - -The long-running process of handling real-time changes is modeled as a `Service`, aligning with the existing architectural pattern for persistent background processes. It is managed by the application's core service container. - -```rust -use crate::core::services::Service; // Assuming this is the path to the trait - -pub struct LiveSyncService { - // context, state, etc. - is_running: Arc, - // Handle to the job manager to queue backfills - job_manager: Arc, -} - -impl LiveSyncService { - pub fn new(context: Arc) -> Self { - // ... initialization - } -} - -#[async_trait::async_trait] -impl Service for LiveSyncService { - fn name(&self) -> &'static str { - "live_sync_service" - } - - fn is_running(&self) -> bool { - self.is_running.load(Ordering::SeqCst) - } - - async fn start(&self) -> Result<()> { - self.is_running.store(true, Ordering::SeqCst); - // Spawn the main loop as a background Tokio task - // This loop listens on the event bus and network for changes. - // It can queue jobs like BackfillSyncJob when needed. - tokio::spawn(async move { - // ... loop { ... } - }); - Ok(()) - } - - async fn stop(&self) -> Result<()> { - self.is_running.store(false, Ordering::SeqCst); - // Signal the background task to gracefully shut down - Ok(()) - } -} -``` - -### 2. Universal Dependency-Aware Sync Trait - -Every syncable domain model implements a simple trait with built-in dependency awareness: - -```rust -#[async_trait] -pub trait Syncable: ActiveModelTrait { - /// Unique sync identifier for this model type - const SYNC_ID: &'static str; - - /// Sync domain (Index, UserMetadata, or None for no sync) - const SYNC_DOMAIN: SyncDomain; - - /// Dependencies - models that must be synced before this one - const DEPENDENCIES: &'static [&'static str] = &[]; - - /// Sync priority within dependency level (0 = highest priority) - const SYNC_PRIORITY: u8 = 50; - - /// Whether this model should sync at all (includes UUID readiness check) - fn should_sync(&self) -> bool; - - /// Custom merge logic for conflicts - fn merge(local: Self::Model, remote: Self::Model) -> MergeResult; - - // ... other helper methods and associated enums ... -} -``` - -### 3. Three-Phase Sync Architecture - -The sync system operates in three distinct phases, each with different dependency handling requirements: - -#### Phase 1: Creating Sync Operations (Local Change Capture) - -When changes occur locally, we capture them without dependency ordering concerns: - -```rust -impl ActiveModelBehavior for EntryActiveModel { - fn after_save(self, insert: bool) -> Result { - // PHASE 1: CAPTURE - No dependency ordering needed yet - if ::should_sync(&self) { - // Queue change in memory for async processing - SYNC_QUEUE.queue_change(/* ... */); - } - Ok(self) - } -} -``` - -#### Phase 2 & 3: Storing and Ingesting (Service Logic) - -The logic for storing changes (on the leader) and ingesting them (on followers) is handled within the `LiveSyncService`. - -On the leader device, the service's main loop processes the queue of captured changes, resolves their dependencies, and writes them to the persistent `SyncLog`. On follower devices, the service's main loop polls the leader for new log entries and applies them locally, buffering them as needed to ensure dependencies are met even with out-of-order network delivery. - -```rust -// Example logic within the LiveSyncService on a LEADER device -async fn leader_loop(&self) { - loop { - let captured_changes = SYNC_QUEUE.drain_pending(); - if !captured_changes.is_empty() { - // PHASE 2: Apply dependency ordering and store to sync log - let dependency_batches = SYNC_REGISTRY.batch_changes_by_dependencies(captured_changes); - - for batch in dependency_batches { - self.store_dependency_batch(batch).await; - } - } - tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100)).await; - } -} - -// Example logic within the LiveSyncService on a FOLLOWER device -async fn follower_loop(&self) { - loop { - // Poll leader for changes since last sequence - if let Ok(changes) = self.pull_changes_from_leader().await { - // PHASE 3: Buffer and apply changes in dependency order - self.ingest_changes(changes).await; - } - tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(5)).await; - } -} -``` - -### 4.

The elegant declarative API means developers simply declare `depends_on = ["location", "device"]` and the sync system handles all ordering automatically. - -By embedding dependency management directly into the `Syncable` trait and making it the default behavior for every sync operation, we ensure that Spacedrive's relational model "just works" without developers needing to think about constraint ordering, circular references, or special sync jobs. - -The `#[derive(Syncable)]` macro reduces adding sync support to a model down to 3-5 lines of declarative code, while the automatic dependency graph generation ensures all sync operations respect foreign key constraints without any manual coordination. - -This approach transforms sync from a complex, error-prone subsystem into a simple, declarative feature that scales naturally with Spacedrive's data model complexity. - -## Further Enhancements & Detailed Considerations - -This section elaborates on key areas to provide more robust details and address potential challenges in the sync system's design and implementation. - -### 1. Enhanced Leadership Management - -To ensure high availability and resilience for library leadership: - -#### Initial Leader Selection - -When a new library is created, the device initiating its creation automatically becomes the initial leader. -When existing libraries are merged during pairing, the user explicitly chooses which device becomes the leader (either the local device, the remote device, or a newly created shared library leader). - -#### Offline Leader Detection & Reassignment - -- **Heartbeats**: Leader devices periodically send heartbeats to their followers over the persistent networking layer. -- **Failure Detection**: Followers continuously monitor these heartbeats. If a follower misses a configurable number of consecutive heartbeats from the leader, it will consider the leader potentially offline. -- **Leader Election Protocol**: - 1. Upon detecting an offline leader, followers will initiate a leader election protocol. This could involve a simple deterministic rule (e.g., the device with the lexicographically smallest `device_id` among the online followers becomes the new candidate leader) or a more robust consensus algorithm (e.g., Paxos or Raft-lite adapted for a small, dynamic peer group). - 2. The candidate leader attempts to broadcast its claim to leadership to all other known library devices. - 3. Followers that agree on the new candidate (e.g., by verifying the previous leader's prolonged absence) update their `sync_leadership` role for that library. - 4. The newly elected leader updates its `sync_leadership` role in its local database and notifies other devices of the transition. -- **Timeout & Retries**: The leader election process will have configurable timeouts and retry mechanisms to handle network transience. - -#### Split-Brain Prevention - -- **Quorum (for multi-leader support)**: While the current design is "One Leader Per Library", if future enhancements consider multi-leader or more dynamic leadership, a quorum-based approach would be necessary to prevent split-brain. This means a new leader can only be elected if a majority of the known devices (or a predefined set of trusted devices) agree. -- **Last-Write-Wins with Epochs (for single-leader)**: For the current single-leader model, each leadership transition could involve an incrementing "epoch" number. Any sync operation would carry the current epoch. If a device receives an operation from a leader with an older epoch, it would reject it and initiate a new leader election or update its knowledge of the current leader. - -### 2. Detailed Conflict Resolution & User Experience - -#### Conflict Prompting and User Interface - -For "True Conflicts" (e.g., `UserMetadata` notes where changes diverge): - -- **Conflict Indicator**: The UI will display a clear visual indicator on the conflicting item (e.g., an icon on the `Entry` or `ContentIdentity` details view). -- **Conflict Resolution View**: Clicking the indicator will open a dedicated conflict resolution view. This view will: - - Show the local version of the data. - - Show the remote conflicting version of the data. - - Display a diff (if applicable, e.g., for text notes). - - Provide options: "Keep Local," "Keep Remote," "Merge Manually" (for text fields), or "Discard All." -- **Batch Resolution**: For multiple conflicts, the UI may offer a batch resolution interface with general rules (e.g., "Always Keep Local for all similar conflicts"). -- **Background Notification**: Users will receive a system notification (e.g., a toast notification or a badge on the sync status icon) when conflicts are detected, directing them to the conflict resolution area. - -#### Automatic Fallback Strategies - -- **Default Behavior (User-Configurable)**: Users will be able to set a default conflict resolution strategy in settings, such as: - - **"Latest Wins"**: The most recently modified version is automatically applied. - - **"Local Always Wins"**: The local version is always preserved. - - **"Remote Always Wins"**: The remote version is always applied. - - **"Prompt Always"**: Always requires manual intervention. -- **Notes Merge Logic**: For `UserMetadata` notes, the `merge_notes` function will by default concatenate notes with timestamps, providing a historical record: `merge_notes(local.notes, remote.notes)` could result in: - ``` - "Local notes (last modified YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS): Original text. - Remote notes (last modified YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS): Conflicting text." - ``` -- **Custom Data Merge Logic**: The `merge_custom_data` function (for `custom_data` in `UserMetadata`) will perform a deep merge of JSON objects, prioritizing the remote value for conflicting keys, but adding new keys from both sides. For arrays, it could perform a union. - -### 3. Scalability and Maintenance of Sync Log and Positions - -#### Sync Log Pruning and Archiving - -- **Configurable Retention**: Users/administrators can configure a retention period for `sync_log` entries (e.g., 3 months, 1 year, indefinite). -- **Archiving**: Old `sync_log` entries (beyond the retention period) could be archived to a separate, less frequently accessed storage location (e.g., compressed files) to reduce the primary database size. -- **Summarization**: Periodically, the system could run a background job to summarize change history for long-lived records, allowing older detailed entries to be pruned while retaining an aggregated view. -- **`first_seen_at` and `last_verified_at`**: These fields in `ContentIdentity` already contribute to long-term data consistency and can aid in pruning older, less relevant `SyncLogEntry` data. - -#### `SyncPositionManager` Scalability - -- The `sync_positions` table's primary key on `(device_id, library_id)` is efficient for direct lookups. -- As the number of devices and libraries scales, indexing on `updated_at` could be beneficial for quickly identifying stale positions or devices that need re-syncing. -- The actual sync log entries themselves are processed in batches, which limits the in-memory load during active sync operations, rather than needing to load the entire history. - -### 4. Performance Optimization for Backfill and Entity Requests - -#### Parallelizing Backfill - -- **Domain-based Parallelism**: During `full_backfill` and `incremental_backfill`, instead of strictly sequential processing of all changes from `current_seq`, the system can fetch and process changes from _different_ `SyncDomain`s in parallel, as their conflict resolution strategies are distinct and often independent at the high level. -- **Batching within Domains**: While the current design pulls batches of changes, further optimization can be achieved by allowing multiple concurrent pull requests for different sequence ranges within the same domain, provided dependencies within those ranges are respected at the application phase. -- **Network Service Enhancements**: The `NetworkingService` could expose an API to pull multiple `SyncLogEntry` batches concurrently, managing the underlying LibP2P streams efficiently. - -#### Batching `sync_ready_backfill` Requests - -- **Batched Entity Requests**: Instead of `request_entity_from_leader` for each `entity_uuid`, the `sync_ready_backfill` strategy will gather lists of `entity_uuid`s for a given `model_type` and send a single `SyncPullModelBatch` request (or similar) to the leader. The leader would then return the full data for all requested entities in a single response. This significantly reduces round-trip times and network overhead. -- **Progress Granularity**: Progress updates for these batched operations will be based on the completion of full batches rather than individual entities. - -### 5. `UserMetadataTag Junction` Sync Domain Resolution - -The `user_metadata_tag::ActiveModel`'s `get_sync_domain` which returns `SyncDomain::UserMetadata` by default, requires clarification. - -- **Explicit Parent Lookup**: During the "Store" and "Ingest" phases, when processing a `user_metadata_tag` change, the `SyncLeaderService` and `SyncFollowerService` will explicitly perform a lookup to its associated `UserMetadata` record. -- **Dynamic Domain Assignment**: The looked-up `UserMetadata` record's `get_sync_domain` method will then be called to determine the final `SyncDomain` (either `Index` for entry-scoped metadata or `UserMetadata` for content-scoped metadata). This ensures the tag correctly inherits the conflict resolution strategy of its parent metadata. -- **Performance Impact**: This lookup adds a minor database query overhead for each `user_metadata_tag` change during phases 2 and 3. Given that tags are typically part of a larger `UserMetadata` operation, this overhead is considered acceptable and ensures correct domain-specific merging. - -### 6. Offline Queue Persistence - -The `OfflineQueue` for changes collected when a device is offline will be persisted to disk to prevent data loss upon application shutdown or crash: - -- **Transactional Persistence**: When `SYNC_QUEUE.flush_for_transaction` is called during database operations, in addition to persisting to the `sync_log` (on the leader), or buffering for later application (on the follower), these changes will also be written to a local, append-only "offline journal" file before the transaction commits. -- **Journal Structure**: The offline journal will store serialized `SyncChange` objects in a structured, fault-tolerant format (e.g., line-delimited JSON or a simple binary log). -- **Recovery on Startup**: Upon application startup, before any new changes are captured, the system will check for and replay any pending changes from the offline journal. Successfully replayed changes will be marked as processed or removed from the journal. -- **Deduplication**: When replaying, the system will handle potential duplicates (e.g., if a change was partially synced before going offline) using the `record_id` and `timestamp` from `SyncChange`. - -### 7. Refined Security Considerations - -- **Rate Limiting on Pairing Attempts**: - - **Per-IP/Per-Device Limiting**: The networking service will implement rate limiting on `PairingRequest` messages. This will involve tracking incoming requests from specific IP addresses or LibP2P `PeerId`s. - - **Sliding Window/Token Bucket**: A sliding window or token bucket algorithm will be used to limit the number of pairing attempts within a given time frame (e.g., 5 attempts per minute from a single source). - - **Blocking**: Excessive attempts will result in temporary blocking of the source. -- **User Confirmation UI for Pairing Requests**: - - **Explicit Approval**: After a `PairingRequest` is received and cryptographically verified, the initiator device (Alice) will _not_ automatically complete the pairing. Instead, a UI prompt will appear, asking the user to confirm the pairing with the remote device (Bob's `DeviceInfo` will be displayed). - - **Timeout for Confirmation**: If the user does not respond within a configurable timeout, the pairing session will expire and fail. - - **API for Confirmation**: The `NetworkingService` will expose an API (e.g., `confirm_pairing_request(session_id, accept: bool)`) that the UI can call based on user interaction. -- **Device Limits**: - - **User-Configurable Limits**: Spacedrive will allow users to configure limits on the total number of devices that can be paired to a single library or across all libraries. - - **Policy Enforcement**: When a new pairing request is initiated, the system will check against these limits. If exceeded, the pairing will be rejected, and the user will be notified. -- **Data Encryption in Sync Log**: - - The `data` field in `SyncLogEntry`, which stores the serialized model data as JSON, will be encrypted _before_ being written to the database. - - **Column-Level Encryption**: This can be achieved using a symmetric key derived from the library's master key (which itself is secured by the user's password) to encrypt the `data` field (e.g., using AES-256-GCM). - - **Key Management**: The encryption key for the `sync_log` will be managed by the `SecureStorage` module, ensuring it is only accessible when the user's password unlocks the device's secure storage. diff --git a/docs/core/design/sync/SYNC_INTEGRATION_NOTES.md b/docs/core/design/sync/SYNC_INTEGRATION_NOTES.md deleted file mode 100644 index bf6dc1ae5..000000000 --- a/docs/core/design/sync/SYNC_INTEGRATION_NOTES.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,167 +0,0 @@ -SYNC_INTEGRATION_NOTES.md -Integrating the New Sync System into Spacedrive Core v2 -This document outlines the strategic integration points and critical considerations for seamlessly weaving the newly designed universal dependency-aware sync system and the entity refactor into the existing, well-tested Spacedrive Core v2 architecture.

Networking Module & Device Pairing System Integration - -The existing networking stack provides the secure and reliable communication backbone for sync. - -Universal Message Protocol (DeviceMessage): All sync-related messages (e.g., SyncPullRequest, SyncChange, SyncPullModelBatchRequest) are defined as variants within the DeviceMessage enum, ensuring they fit seamlessly into the existing message routing system. - -Persistent Connections: Sync operations inherently rely on the NetworkingService's ability to maintain persistent, encrypted connections between paired devices, including automatic reconnection and retry logic. - -Secure Pairing Foundation: The sync system assumes successful device pairing as a prerequisite, leveraging the cryptographic verification and session management established by the pairing module. - -Leader Election Protocol: The new leader election messages are integrated as DeviceMessage::Custom variants, allowing the NetworkingService to route and handle them via its ProtocolHandler system. - -Security Enhancements: The proposed rate limiting, user confirmation UI, and device limits for pairing directly strengthen the security of the initial connection establishment used by sync. - -3. Locations & File System Watching Integration - -Real-time file system changes detected by the Location Watcher are a primary trigger for index sync. - -Event Consumption: The Sync service subscribes to Location Watcher events (e.g., EntryCreated, EntryModified, EntryDeleted, EntryMoved) to detect changes that need to be synchronized. - -Index Sync Domain: The "Index Sync" domain is directly tied to changes within a device's local locations, benefiting from the inherent conflict-free nature due to device ownership of its filesystem index. - -SyncReadinessJob: This job intelligently utilizes the existing IndexerJob (triggered via the Location Manager) to re-process locations and assign UUIDs to entries that were created before sync was enabled, making them sync-ready. - -4. Library System Integration - -Libraries are the fundamental organizational units for sync operations. - -Per-Library Leader: The "One Leader Per Library" model ensures clear responsibility for sync operations within each self-contained .sdlibrary instance. - -Library Merging Workflow (SyncSetupJob): The sync system provides a dedicated job for intelligently merging existing libraries during sync setup, honoring the portable library structure. - -Library Isolation: The design's use of library-scoped deterministic ContentIdentity UUIDs ensures that sync operates within library boundaries, maintaining the isolation principle of .sdlibrary folders. - -5. Database and Infrastructure Integration - -The database layer provides the essential persistence and transactionality for sync state. - -SeaORM & SQLite: The sync system stores all its state (sync log entries, sync positions, conflict records) using the existing SeaORM ORM and SQLite database. - -Optimized Schemas: New tables like sync_log and sync_positions are designed to align with the database's performance optimizations, including proper indexing and materialized path concepts (where applicable to sync data). - -Transaction Safety: The "Hybrid Change Tracking" with SYNC_QUEUE.flush_for_transaction ensures that sync changes are atomically captured and persisted within the same database transactions as the originating data changes, preventing data loss or inconsistency. - -Offline Journal: The new offline journal directly extends the database's persistence by providing a robust, crash-resilient mechanism for queuing changes when the device is offline, ensuring data is not lost even if the application closes unexpectedly. - -Data Encryption: Encryption of the SyncLogEntry's data payload leverages the SecureStorage module within the networking infrastructure, ensuring sensitive sync data is encrypted at rest using library-specific keys derived from the user's password. - -6. Domain Models & Entity Refactor Integration - -This is arguably the deepest and most critical integration point, where sync logic directly influences and is influenced by the core data structures. - -Syncable Trait: Core domain models (Device, Location, Entry, ContentIdentity, UserMetadata, Tag, UserMetadataTag) implement the Syncable trait, exposing their dependencies and sync behavior to the system. - -Sync Readiness (uuid: Option): The refactor's design of uuid: Option in Entry and ContentIdentity serves as a direct indicator of sync readiness, preventing incomplete data from being synced prematurely. - -Deterministic ContentIdentity UUIDs: The refactor's guarantee of deterministic ContentIdentity UUIDs (based on content hash + library_id) is fundamental to enabling conflict-free content-universal metadata sync across devices within the same library. - -Hierarchical UserMetadata & Dual Scoping: The ability for UserMetadata to be scoped to either an Entry (entry_uuid) or ContentIdentity (content_identity_uuid) directly dictates its SyncDomain and conflict resolution strategy. - -Entry-scoped metadata syncs in the Index domain (device-specific). - -Content-scoped metadata syncs in the UserMetadata domain (content-universal). - -Circular Dependency Resolution: The explicit handling of the Entry UserMetadata circular dependency via NullableReference("metadata_id") within the Syncable trait demonstrates tight coordination between the data model and sync logic. - -File Change Handling: The refactor's "Preserve Entry, Unlink and Re-identify Content" strategy for file content changes is fully supported. Sync ensures Entry-scoped metadata (and its UUID) persists across changes, while ContentIdentity links are updated, automatically managing content-scoped metadata. - -Key Synergies & Benefits - -Automated Consistency: The universal dependency awareness ensures foreign key constraints are always respected across synced data, eliminating a major source of distributed system bugs. - -Simplified Development: Developers can add sync support with minimal boilerplate (#[derive(Syncable)]), focusing on business logic rather than complex sync protocols or conflict resolution. - -Robustness: Leveraging existing, tested components like the job system, networking, and transactional database operations makes the sync system highly resilient to failures, network outages, and application crashes. - -Rich User Experience: The dual tagging system, hierarchical metadata display, and intelligent conflict resolution provide powerful and intuitive file organization capabilities that seamlessly extend across devices. - -Performance at Scale: In-memory queuing, batch processing, and optimized data structures are designed to handle large libraries and frequent changes efficiently. - -Critical Implementation Focus Areas - -Given the existing stability of most modules, special attention must be paid to these areas during the implementation of the sync system and entity refactor: - -Robust Leader Election Protocol: - -Thorough testing of LeaderElectionMessage processing under network instability (latency, temporary disconnections, partitions). - -Verification of epoch handling to correctly identify and discard stale sync changes. - -Clear definition and testing of edge cases for initial leader selection and reassignment. - -Conflict Resolution Workflow (UI & Automatic): - -Designing and implementing the UI for manual conflict resolution is a significant effort. - -Rigorously testing automatic fallback strategies and their user-configurable settings. - -Ensuring ConflictManager correctly persists and presents conflicts to the UI. - -Backfill & SyncReadiness Performance: - -Validate the performance gains from parallelizing backfills across domains and batching entity requests. - -Monitor resource consumption during large initial syncs or when re-indexing for sync readiness. - -Ensure the SyncReadinessJob integrates smoothly with the IndexerJob without creating performance bottlenecks. - -Offline Journal Reliability: - -Extensive testing of OfflineJournal's append_change, read_all_changes, and clear operations under various crash scenarios and power loss conditions. - -Verify transactional guarantees of SYNC_QUEUE.flush_for_transaction with the journal. - -UserMetadataTag Junction Dynamic Domain: - -Confirm the performance impact of the runtime lookup for the parent UserMetadata to determine the correct SyncDomain.

Aligns with Domain Semantics ✅ - -Your insight about **"indexing is not sync"** is **architecturally correct**: - -- **Indexing** = Local filesystem discovery (each device does independently) -- **Sync** = Replicating changes between devices (coordination required) - -**Example**: -``` -Device A has /photos with 10,000 images -Device B has /documents with 5,000 PDFs - -When paired: -- Device A does NOT sync its 10K images to Device B -- Device B does NOT sync its 5K PDFs to Device A -- Each device keeps its own index - -BUT: -- User tags a photo on Device A → Sync to Device B ✅ -- User renames PDF on Device B → Sync to Device A ✅ -``` - -This matches the **Index Sync domain** from SYNC_DESIGN.md: "Mirror each device's local filesystem index" not "replicate all files". - -### 2. Performance is Critical ✅ - -**Bulk operations are** the bottleneck: -- Initial indexing: 1M+ files per location -- Re-indexing: 100K+ files after mount -- Imports: 10K+ files from external source - -**With per-entry sync logs**: -``` -1,000,000 files × (1 DB write + 1 sync log write + 1 event) = 3M operations -Time: ~10 minutes on SSD -Sync log size: ~500MB for just the index -``` - -**With bulk commits** (ONE sync log entry with metadata): -``` -1,000,000 files × (1 DB write) + 1 sync log entry = 1M + 1 operations -Time: ~1 minute on SSD (10x faster!) -Sync log size: ~500 bytes (just metadata, not 500MB!) - -Sync log entry contains: -{ - "sequence": 1234, - "model_type": "bulk_operation", - "operation": "InitialIndex", - "location_id": "uuid-123", - "affected_count": 1000000, - "device_id": "device-abc", - "timestamp": "2025-10-07T..." -} -``` - -### 3. Client Behavior is Appropriate ✅ - -**Client reaction to bulk event**: -```swift -case .BulkOperationCompleted(let libraryId, let operation, let count): - switch operation { - case .InitialIndex(let locationId): - print("Indexed \(count) files in location \(locationId)") - - // Invalidate queries for this location - cache.invalidateQueriesMatching { query in - query.contains("directory:") && query.contains(locationId.uuidString) - } - - // Show UI notification - showToast("Indexed \(count) files") - - // Don't try to update 1M entities! - // Just invalidate and let queries refetch lazily - } -``` - -This is **correct** because: -- Users don't have 1M files loaded in memory anyway -- UI typically shows 50-100 files at once -- Lazy loading handles the rest -- Cache invalidation + refetch is the right pattern - -### 4. Watcher Integration is Perfect ✅ - -**Watcher creates individual sync entries** - exactly right: - -```rust -// Watcher detects: user created file in watched directory -WatcherEvent::Created("/photos/new_photo.jpg") - -// Indexer processes it TRANSACTIONALLY -tx_manager.commit_transactional(entry).await? -// → Sync log entry created ✅ -// → Other devices see the new file ✅ -// → Clients update cache atomically ✅ -``` - -This is **semantically correct**: -- File created **after** initial index = incremental change -- Incremental changes are sync-worthy -- Other devices should reflect this change - -## Additional Refinements - -### Refinement 1: Micro-Batch for Watcher Events - -**Problem**: Watcher emits 100 events in rapid succession (user copies folder) - -**Solution**: Micro-batching within transactional context - -```rust -impl TransactionManager { - /// Commit multiple entries in a single transaction with sync logs - /// Good for: Watcher batch events (10-100 files) - pub async fn commit_transactional_batch( - &self, - library: Arc, - entries: Vec, - ) -> Result, TransactionError> { - let library_id = library.id(); - let db = library.db().conn(); - - // Phase 1: Single transaction with sync logs - let saved_entries = db.transaction(|txn| async move { - let mut saved = Vec::new(); - - for entry_model in entries { - // Save entry - let saved_entry = entry_model.save(txn).await?; - - // Create sync log (sync-worthy!) - let sync_entry = self.create_sync_log_entry( - library_id, - &saved_entry, - ChangeType::Upsert, - )?; - sync_entry.insert(txn).await?; - - saved.push(saved_entry); - } - - Ok::<_, TransactionError>(saved) - }).await?; - - // Phase 2: Batch File construction (single query!) - let files = self.build_files_from_entries_batch( - &library, - &saved_entries, - ).await?; - - // Emit batch event - self.event_bus.emit(Event::FilesBatchUpdated { - library_id, - files: files.clone(), - operation: BatchOperation::WatcherBatch, - }); - - tracing::info!( - count = files.len(), - "Transactional batch commit: {} entries with sync logs", - files.len() - ); - - Ok(files) - } -} - -// Watcher integration -impl Indexer { - async fn handle_watcher_batch( - &mut self, - events: Vec, - ) -> Result<(), IndexerError> { - let mut entries = Vec::new(); - - for event in events { - if let Some(entry) = self.process_watcher_event_to_model(event).await?

Transaction has committed - can't rollback -2. Sync log is created - followers will get the change -3. Emit lightweight event as fallback: `EntryModified { entry_id }` -4. Client invalidates affected queries, refetches on next access -5. Log error for investigation - -### Edge Case 2: Event Bus is Down - -**Scenario**: No clients connected, event bus has no subscribers - -**Handling**: -1. Check `event_bus.has_subscribers()` before computing File -2. If no subscribers, skip File construction (expensive) -3. Emit lightweight event or skip event entirely -4. Clients will refetch on next connection - -### Edge Case 3: Bulk Operation Partial Failure - -**Scenario**: Indexing 1000 files, one fails mid-transaction - -**Handling**: -1. Use sub-transactions or batch commits -2. Log failures, continue with remaining files -3. Emit batch event for successful files -4. Queue retry for failed files - -```rust -impl TransactionManager { - pub async fn commit_entry_batch_resilient( - &self, - library: Arc, - entries: Vec, - ) -> Result { - let mut successful = Vec::new(); - let mut failed = Vec::new(); - - // Commit in sub-batches - for chunk in entries.chunks(100) { - match self.commit_entry_batch_internal(library.clone(), chunk).await { - Ok(files) => successful.extend(files), - Err(e) => { - failed.push(BatchFailure { - entries: chunk.to_vec(), - error: e, - }); - } - } - } - - // Emit events for successful commits - if !successful.is_empty() { - self.event_bus.emit(Event::FilesBatchUpdated { - library_id: library.id(), - files: successful.clone(), - operation: BatchOperation::Index, - }); - } - - Ok(BatchCommitResult { - successful, - failed, - }) - } -} -``` - -## Migration Strategy - -### Phase 1: Infrastructure (Week 1) -- [ ] Create `TransactionManager` service -- [ ] Create `FileBuilder` service -- [ ] Add `version` field to Entry model -- [ ] Extend Event enum with rich events -- [ ] Add TransactionManager to CoreContext - -### Phase 2: Core Integration (Week 2) -- [ ] Update Indexer to use TransactionManager -- [ ] Update VolumeManager -- [ ] Update FileOperations (rename, move, delete) -- [ ] Update TagService - -### Phase 3: Testing & Validation (Week 3) -- [ ] Unit tests for TransactionManager -- [ ] Integration tests for sync consistency -- [ ] Verify events fire correctly -- [ ] Performance benchmarking - -### Phase 4: Rollout (Week 4) -- [ ] Deploy to staging -- [ ] Monitor sync logs for consistency -- [ ] Monitor event delivery -- [ ] Roll out to production - -## Design Validation: Addressing Concerns - -### Concern 1: Performance Impact - -**Question**: Is computing File on every write too slow? - -**Analysis**: -- **Write operations are infrequent** compared to reads -- **Indexing**: Batch commits amortize cost (1 query for 100 entries) -- **User actions**: Single file rename is already slow (user perception) -- **Optimization available**: Lazy construction when no clients connected - -**Verdict**: Acceptable with batching and lazy evaluation - -### Concern 2: Transaction Scope - -**Question**: What if File construction needs to write to DB (circular deps)? - -**Analysis**: -- **File construction is read-only** by design -- If additional writes needed, split into multiple transactions -- Example: Create Entry first, then create related resources - -**Verdict**: File construction must remain read-only - -### Concern 3: Event Ordering - -**Question**: Do events maintain order with sync log? - -**Analysis**: -- **Sync log**: Sequentially ordered by sequence number -- **Events**: Emitted in order of transaction commits -- **Guarantee**: If sync entry A has seq < B, event A fires before event B - -**Verdict**: Ordering is maintained by design - -## Comparison to Alternatives - -### Alternative 1: ORM Hooks Only - -**Approach**: Use SeaORM `after_save` hooks for everything - -**Problems**: -- Hooks are synchronous, can't do async File construction -- No control over transaction boundaries -- Can't batch operations -- Hard to test - -### Alternative 2: Event Sourcing - -**Approach**: Store events as primary source of truth - -**Problems**: -- Major architectural shift -- Requires event replay for current state -- Complex to query (need projections) -- Doesn't fit Spacedrive's model - -### Alternative 3: Distributed Transactions (2PC) - -**Approach**: Two-phase commit across DB + event bus - -**Problems**: -- Overly complex for single-process system -- Event bus doesn't support transactions -- Performance overhead -- Not necessary for local operations - -**Our Approach** (TransactionManager): -- Simple: One service, clear responsibility -- Performant: Single transaction, batch-friendly -- Testable: Easy to mock -- Pragmatic: Fits Spacedrive's architecture - -## Conclusion - -This unified architecture provides **guaranteed consistency** across three critical systems: - -1. **Database** (source of truth for persistence) -2. **Sync Log** (source of truth for replication) -3. **Client Cache** (source of truth for UI) - -By centralizing all write operations in the `TransactionManager`, we eliminate an entire class of bugs (missed sync entries, missing events, inconsistent state) while providing a clean, maintainable API for developers. - -The dual-model approach (Entry for persistence, File for queries) allows each layer to excel at its purpose without compromise.

Matches the Architecture - -Spacedrive's key insight: **"Devices own their filesystem indices"** - -The leaderless model directly embodies this: -- Device A syncs Device A's data (simple broadcast) -- Device B syncs Device B's data (simple broadcast) -- Shared metadata (rare) uses logs + HLC - -### 2. Offline-First By Design - -- Any device can make changes anytime -- Changes queue locally -- Sync when reconnected -- No "waiting for leader" frustration - -### 3. Simpler Implementation - -**Remove**: -- Leader election logic (~500 lines) -- Heartbeat system (~200 lines) -- Failover logic (~300 lines) -- Complex role management (~200 lines) - -**Add**: -- HLC generator (~100 lines) -- Peer ack tracking (~100 lines) -- State-based sync (~300 lines) - -**Net**: ~800 lines simpler! - -### 4. Better UX - -**Old**: "You can't tag this photo because the leader device is offline" -**New**: "Tagged! Will sync when devices reconnect" - ---- - -## Migration Path from Current Code - -### Phase 1: Add State-Based Sync (Parallel) - -1. Implement state-based sync for locations/entries -2. Keep existing leader-based sync running -3. Devices use both systems -4. Verify state-based works - -### Phase 2: Add HLC for Shared - -1. Implement HLC generator -2. Implement `shared_changes.db` per device -3. Use for tags/albums -4. Parallel with leader system - -### Phase 3: Remove Leader - -1. Stop using central `sync_log.db` -2. Remove leadership checks -3. Remove election logic -4. Simplify! - ---- - -## Open Questions - -### Q1: Do we need ANY log for device-owned data? - -**Answer**: Only if we want efficient delta sync. - -**With timestamps**: -```sql -SELECT * FROM locations -WHERE device_id = 'peer-id' - AND updated_at > :last_sync_time -``` - -This gives us changed locations without a log! - -**Verdict**: No log needed if we add `updated_at` to all models (already have this!) - -### Q2: How big would sync.db get? - -**Estimate**: 10 changes/day/device × 3 devices × 7 days until all ack = ~210 entries - -Each entry: ~500 bytes → ~100KB total - -**Verdict**: Tiny! Negligible overhead. - -### Q3: What about initial backfill of 1M entries? - -**Batch approach**: -```rust -// Request in chunks -for offset in (0..1_000_000).step_by(10_000) { - let batch = peer.get_entries_batch(offset, 10_000).await?; - insert_batch(batch).await?; -} -``` - -Or use existing database replication: -```rust -// Just copy their database.db as starting point! -// Then sync delta -``` - ---- - -## Conclusion - -**Your intuition is correct**: A leaderless model is simpler and better aligned with Spacedrive's architecture. - -**The key insight**: -- Device-owned data = state-based (no log) -- Shared resources = log-based with HLC (small, prunable) - -**Benefits**: -- No leader bottleneck -- Works offline -- Simpler code -- More resilient -- Matches architecture - -**This is a significant architectural improvement!** - -Should we explore this further and create a migration plan? Or do you see issues I'm missing?
