Every release sent the fixed `external-drive-linux@0.1.0-alpha`. If Proton
ever retires that version, every release fails sign-in at once and no update
can fix it.
- core: APP_VERSION and USER_AGENT follow CARGO_PKG_VERSION
(`external-drive-linux@<version>-stable`, `proton-drive-linux/<version>`)
- core: `app_version` and `user_agent` in config.json are optional overrides;
the fixed values older releases stored there read as unset and leave the
file on the next save, a hand-set value is kept
- gui: the About dialog shows the release, its debug info the identity
actually sent
- docs: describe the new default and the migration
A new key grants its owner only "view"; read needs possession, which a
process has only when its session keyring links to the user keyring. A
systemd user service or a container does not guarantee that, so the
daemon could store the unlock and then fail to read it back (EACCES).
Set the permissions explicitly after add_key.
A two-password account signed in with its login password as the mailbox
password, so the key chain never unlocked and the daemon retried forever.
Login now asks for the mailbox password and checks it against the account
(proton-sdk 0.8 `unlock`), so a typo is a retry. The password is never
stored: the keyring blob keeps the per-key passphrases instead, and for a
two-password account only when the user opts in (`--remember`, or the
"Keep unlocked on this computer" switch). By default they live in the
kernel keyring for the login session and the account is locked after a
reboot until `pdfs unlock` or the app supplies them again.
- core: kernelkey module, Error::Locked / WrongMailboxPassword, unlock,
lock, key_state, ready; blobs written by 3.0.x are migrated on first
start; token refresh updates only the tokens in the stored blob
- cli: `pdfs unlock [--remember]`, `pdfs lock [--forget]`; status and
diagnose report the key state; the daemon waits while locked and is
marked non-dumpable
- gui: mailbox password dialog at sign-in and on open, locked tray state
- po: all catalogs translated
- bump to 3.1.0, depend on proton-sdk and proton-drive-rs 0.8.0
Refs #26.
The watchdog is armed when the process starts, but only the mount's supervisor
pinged it. A daemon waiting for a login or backing off after a failed mount
(#26: key unlock failing) was aborted after WatchdogSec and left a coredump
instead of its error. Sleep through idle_sleep in those stretches; the mounted
ping still has to pass the control-socket probe.
Manual workflow that builds the RPM and the bare binaries in a Fedora
container, so a user can try a branch against Fedora's own GTK stack.
Uploads them as an artifact and, on request, as one rolling pre-release
per branch that needs no GitHub login to download.
DEVELOPMENT.md lists the daemon's current modules, asks for the
simulation runs on FUSE, queue and sync changes, and adds how to handle
a bug fix and a user-visible change, including the six pages the wiki
publisher copies. The release checklist moves to TESTING.md.
66 comments cited `bugs.md B<n>`, the ledger's old name; they now say
`docs/BUGS.md B<n>`, and every cited number has an entry. About 90 more
cited offline.md, devices.md, features.md, mount-architecture.md,
plan.md and improvements.md, planning notes that were never in the
repository. Those citations are removed; the comments keep their text.
The throughput case said every create and unlink on a Drive mount waits
for Drive. Since 3.0.0 that holds only with local_first off; the floor
of 3 operations a second stays for that case.
The ledger ran B193 down to B78, then B1 up to B75, with T1 to T4 in
the middle and a stray top-level heading inside B14. Status lines used a
dozen wordings for the same few states, so finding what is still open
meant reading 6,600 lines.
Add a header: what the numbers promise (permanent, never reused; B76
and B77 were never assigned), the status vocabulary, and how to add an
entry, with a template. Add an index sorted by status, with what is left
for every open or partly fixed entry. Order all entries newest first
under one Entries section, and move the acceptance-runner findings to
their own section. Titles are in sentence case; anchors are unchanged.
Entry text is kept as written, except B89: the file it described,
proton-dev/CLAUDE.md, no longer exists, so it is closed.
The user guide said only writes were queued. Since 3.0.0 creating,
renaming and deleting through the mount return at once too, and changes
Drive refuses become sync issues. Add a section on changes waiting for
Proton Drive: retry, export, discard, and the two cases that land under
another name or place instead of failing.
Troubleshooting covers changes that have not reached other devices yet,
`pdfs sync issues` and the local_first fallback, and names the real
error for symlinks and hard links (EPERM, not EOPNOTSUPP). CONFIGURATION
lists MemoryHigh and the test variables; CLI notes that `sync export`
takes a folder.
ARCHITECTURE.md described the 2.x write path, where namespace changes
waited for Drive and every mount had its own inode space. Rewrite it
around the local tree (lid, inode = lid + 1, local~<lid> stand-ins), the
queue and its 16 drain workers, sync issues, and the remaining split
between the mount and the mirror engine. Drop the pins.json claim; pins
moved into the database at schema v5.
TESTING.md gains the simulation runs and loses the per-case narrative
that --list and BUGS.md already carry. ROADMAP.md takes over the
post-3.0.0 items from the milestone status file.
Remove MILESTONE-3.0.0-STATUS.md (a working log) and UI_UX_PLAN.md (the
2.x design audit). Code comments and CI that cited the untracked
docs/MILESTONE-3.0.0.md now point at TESTING.md, ARCHITECTURE.md and
ROADMAP.md. Threat-model links follow the section to §10.
The confirmation run on 812eb3d (PDFS_SIM_KNOWN=fail, twelve seeds)
passed every profile, so no open bug is tolerated any more: the call,
hang and damage matchers for B125 to B134 go, and any of them now fails
the seed. B126, B128 and B133 were fixed with B138, B162 and B137;
B134 stays open with local_first off only, which the runs do not mount.
The known-bug confirmation run failed one_client_on_a_flaky_link seeds 6
and 11 on three bugs around a create whose answer was lost:
- B182: after a restart, a write over a file whose create landed but was
never read back forked a conflict copy. A revision of a file that has
no revision of Drive's now adopts the landed node first.
- B183: the SHA-1s a create sent were kept in memory, so after a restart
its trash or retry no longer knew the node Drive made. They are now on
the op's row (pending_op.sent_sha1, schema 42).
- B184: a rename rewrote the op's target, and the trash and the retry
looked for the node under the last name only. Each attempt's parent
and name are recorded (pending_op.sent_to); the trash looks under all
of them, and a retry adopts the node an earlier attempt made and moves
it to the current name.
A refused change was only on the Sync page. A folder listing now carries
each node's issue (by local id, so a file not yet on Drive has it too),
and the browser's badge ranks it first, folders included, with the
issue's explanation as its tooltip. The event sampler publishes Files
when the set of issues changes, so the badge comes and goes with it.
A change Drive will not take could be exported or retried, never let go
of. The Sync page's Discard button (with a confirmation) and
`pdfs sync discard <id>` drop it: a node made here goes, as if deleted
before it was sent; a node Drive has goes back to what Drive has, under
the same inode, with every change queued on it, while what is queued
below it stays. A change on the wire or an open file is refused.
The daemon logs it as "<reason>; local changes uploaded as <copy>" or
"...kept at <path>", which the Activity page showed as written, in
English. It now reads both and the three reasons, one sentence each.
A mirror target's root is plain local storage, so the durability case's
wait for the mount passed at once after the restart. The queue wait then
read `pdfs --json status` before the new daemon listened, took its null
"mount" for an empty queue, and the run's cleanup found no control socket.
A file deleted after its create was sent keeps the op as a trash. The op
kept the create's attempts and backoff, and the drain recorded the failure
of a create attempt still on the wire on the row that was by then the trash.
The trash waited out the create's backoff.
The trash starts due, as a create that becomes a revision does, and the
drain records a failed attempt only if the op is still the kind it ran as
(`Db::record_attempt_failure`).
