 - **Non-Blocking GTK4 Desktop App**: Browse files, manage pins, configure options, and monitor active transfers through a modern, native GUI with a fully non-blocking asynchronous main loop.
 - **Shared Links & Invites**: Browse files shared with you by other users, and view/manage your own public shared links directly in the GUI.
 - **Local Backup (Computers)**: Sync and back up local directories (like Downloads, Documents, Pictures, etc.) directly to your Proton Drive account.
+- **Locations**: One page (and `pdfs locations`) listing every place Proton Drive occupies on this machine — the main mount plus each backed-up folder — with its mode, sync state, and whether it is read-only. Switching a folder between a full local copy and on-demand happens here.
 - **System Tray Integration**: Background indicator for status monitoring, quick actions, and fast sync controls.
- **Fuzzy Search Launcher Prompt (HUD)**: A Google Drive-style search launcher (`pdfs-prompt`) for finding and opening files or folders instantly, ideal for binding to a system-wide hotkey.
+- **Unified Search Launcher (HUD)**: A resident Google Drive-style launcher (`pdfs-prompt`) that searches Proton Drive and local files together, ranks the best matches, tolerates abbreviations and typos, and is ideal for a system-wide hotkey.
 - **Secure Credential Storage**: Integrates with the system Secret Service (GNOME Keyring, KWallet, etc.) with smart in-memory credential caching to avoid UI thread blockages.
 - **Proton Photos Support**: Access your Proton Photos timeline, view thumbnails, and download backed-up media natively (available in the GUI as a navigation tab and via the CLI).
+- **File Version History**: Every revision Proton Drive still holds for a file, from the browser's details pane (**Versions**) or `pdfs versions list|restore|save|rm`. Restoring is server-side — no re-upload — and an old version can be written out to a local file without touching the live one.
+- **Photo Favourites**: Star a photo in the lightbox, filter the gallery to favourites, or use `pdfs favorite <uid>` / `pdfs photos --favorites`.
+- **Photo Albums**: Browse your albums — including the ones shared with you — from the Albums view of the Photos page, or with `pdfs albums` / `pdfs album <uid>`. Album contents open in the same gallery as the timeline.
 - **Human Verification (CAPTCHA) Recovery**: Detects sign-in gates (VPN/new IP challenges) and launches an embedded `WebKitWebView` dialog to safely complete the challenge, transparently retrying authentication with the earned token.
 - **Selective Sync (`.pdfsignore`)**: Keep build trees, dependency directories, and editor leftovers out of synced folders using gitignore-style rules.
+- **Data-Safe Offline Writes**: Durable scratch/staging files and a transactional pending queue preserve acknowledged writes across network failures and restarts.
+
+## Quick Search and Media Opening
+
+`pdfs-prompt` searches Drive metadata and the local home-directory index in one request. Results are ranked together rather than split by source. Matching is case-insensitive and supports exact names, prefixes, parent paths, multiple terms, punctuation-separated words, ordered abbreviations, common typos, and adjacent transpositions.
+
+The prompt stays resident after its first launch, so invoking the shortcut again reuses and resets the existing window. Drive folders open from the mount. Audio and video results also open through FUSE, allowing media players to seek and request ranges without downloading the entire file first; ordinary Drive files are materialized into the local cache before opening.
+
+### Using your own launcher (fuzzel, rofi, wofi, …)
+
+`pdfs-prompt --dmenu` runs the same search through an external dmenu-style
+launcher instead of the built-in window, so the HUD matches the rest of a
+tiling-WM desktop:
+
+```bash
+pdfs-prompt --dmenu                                   # fuzzel/rofi/wofi/tofi/bemenu/dmenu, whichever is installed
+pdfs-prompt --dmenu --menu 'fuzzel --dmenu --width 60'
+pdfs-prompt --dmenu --query invoice                   # skip straight to a search
+```
+
+A launcher filters a fixed list — it cannot ask for a new one per keystroke — so
+searching takes two steps, and the prompt says which step you are on:
+
+- `Search Drive ›` lists your pinned files. Type anything that isn't one of them
+  and press Enter to search for it.
+- `Drive: invoice ›` lists the results. Enter opens one; typing something else
+  and pressing Enter searches again. Escape closes.
+
+`--query` skips the first step. fuzzel and rofi also get file-type icons.
+
+To make an existing keybinding use it without re-binding, and to pin the
+launcher command, set them in `config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": {
+    "mode": "dmenu",
+    "menu": ["fuzzel", "--dmenu", "--width", "60"],
+    "menu_limit": 50
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`--gtk` overrides `"mode": "dmenu"` for one invocation. A `{prompt}` token
+anywhere in `menu` is replaced by the prompt text; without one, the launcher's
+own prompt flag is appended.
+
+## Choosing How Files Open
+
+By default every result is handed to `xdg-open`. An `open_with` block in
+`config.json` overrides that per file type — for instance opening text in
+Neovim inside Alacritty, while everything else still goes to the desktop:
+
+```json
+{
+  "open_with": {
+    "terminal": ["alacritty", "-e"],
+    "rules": [
+      { "match": ["@text"], "command": ["nvim"], "terminal": true },
+      { "match": ["*.png", "*.jpg"], "command": ["imv"] }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- `match` takes file-name globs (`*.md`, `notes-*.txt`) or the classes `@dir`,
+  `@text`, `@document`, `@image`, `@media`, `@any`. First matching rule wins.
+- `command` is argv, not a shell line. A `{}` token is replaced by the path;
+  without one the path is appended. `$VAR` tokens expand from the environment,
+  so `["$EDITOR"]` follows your editor.
+- `"terminal": true` wraps the command in `terminal`. When that is unset, the
+  terminal comes from `$PDFS_TERMINAL`, then `$TERMINAL`, then the first known
+  emulator on `PATH`; a bare name like `TERMINAL=alacritty` gains the right
+  "run this" flag automatically.
+- `"default": [...]` replaces `xdg-open` for everything unmatched.
+
+The rules apply to the prompt (both front ends) and to the GTK browser, so a
+file opens the same way wherever it was picked. Patterns are matched against the
+Drive name — a downloaded file is stored in the cache under its content hash,
+which says nothing about its type, so matching that would send everything to
+`xdg-open`.

 - **Disk-Backed Writes**: Large file writes are staged on disk in temporary scratch files (rather than fully buffered in RAM) and track modified byte intervals. Only the unedited remote segments are fetched at commit time, keeping memory usage minimal.
 - **Non-Blocking GTK4 Loop**: To prevent UI freezes, all synchronous D-Bus credential checks, control socket requests, and cache usage calculations are offloaded to background worker threads or fetched asynchronously.
 - **Flicker-Free UI Rendering**: The GTK4 application performs differential rendering of the pins list, only modifying list rows when the list content changes, preserving the user's scroll position and widget focus.
+- **Durable Staging**: Scratch metadata and staged writes are synced and atomically published before an upload is acknowledged locally. Rapid revisions supersede pending work transactionally.
+
+## Filesystem Safety
+
+Version 1.0 strengthens the boundaries around local-only data and destructive reconciliation:
+
+- Truncate composes with queued revisions, preserving the authoritative prefix and correct zero-filled growth.
+- Combined move-and-rename operations are queued durably and tolerate partially completed remote state.
+- Session tombstones prevent successfully unlinked entries from reappearing through eventually consistent listings.
+- Names are valid UTF-8 and no longer than Linux's 255-byte component limit.
+- Incomplete mirror scans are non-destructive, and total-wipe protection covers every non-empty baseline.
+- Failed conflict preservation, local deletion, or staging publication does not settle a new baseline or discard the only local copy.
+- State, cache, and config directories must be real, current-user-owned `0700` directories; control sockets are `0600`.

+//! A persistent [`CacheRepository`] for the SDK's Drive entity cache.
+//!
+//! The SDK caches decrypted node metadata (name, size, parent, the share whose
+//! membership signs operations on it) so navigating a tree does not re-fetch and
+//! re-decrypt what it already resolved. That cache defaults to memory, which
+//! means every daemon restart pays for the whole walk again. This backs it with
+//! SQLite so it survives one.
+//!
+//! **Its own database file, not `cache.db`.** The daemon's `Db` is a single
+//! `Mutex<Connection>` shared by every FUSE thread and the control socket; SDK
+//! cache traffic is frequent, small, and entirely reconstructible, so putting it
+//! on that mutex would add contention to the daemon's hottest lock (and to a
+//! write-ahead log whose growth is already sensitive to how long that lock is
+//! held) for no durability benefit. A separate file also means no schema
+//! migration: this store can be deleted and rebuilt at any time.
+//!
+//! **What it holds.** Decrypted metadata, never key material — the SDK keeps
+//! node keys and hash keys in a separate in-memory secret cache that nothing
+//! here can reach. The same names and sizes are already persisted in `cache.db`
+//! (`nodes`), so this file widens no exposure that the state directory did not
+//! already have; `AppDirs::ensure` is what keeps that directory private.
+//!
+//! **Staleness.** A persisted cache outlives the process, so an entry can
+//! describe a node another client has since changed. The daemon's event loop is
+//! what closes that: it resumes from a persisted cursor and calls the SDK's
+//! `invalidate_caches_for_event` for every event it replays, including the ones
+//! that happened while the daemon was down. The one case that leaves no trail is
+//! a *seeded* cursor — a first-ever mount, or a cursor the daemon lost — where
+//! nothing says what changed, so the caller [`clear`](SdkCache::clear)s this
+//! store instead of trusting it.

+//! Proton Drive keeps every revision a client ever committed, and until now the
+//! daemon only ever addressed the active one — a file that a sync pass or a
+//! `(sync-conflict)` fork overwrote could only be recovered from whatever the
+//! local `recovery/` directory happened to hold. This is the remote equivalent,
+//! and it is the reason a *restore* here is not a download-then-upload: the
+//! server re-points the file at an existing revision, so no content crosses the
+//! wire and nothing lands in the drain queue.
+//!
+//! Two things about the SDK surface leak into every method here:
+//!
+//! - **A restore is asynchronous.** The server answers 202 and swaps the active
+//!   revision in the background, so the daemon drops its cached content for the
+//!   file rather than trying to describe the new one. The next read repopulates
+//!   from whatever is live by then.
+//! - **The active revision cannot be deleted**, and the server — not this code —
+//!   is what enforces that. [`Core::delete_revision_for_uid`] refuses locally
+//!   too, so the user gets a sentence instead of an API code.

+//! Background conflict sweep.
+//!
+//! A `(sync-conflict <ts>)` copy is only ever a fallback: the drain and the sync
+//! engine cut one when they cannot prove a queued write is safe to apply, so the
+//! user never loses bytes. Most of those copies turn out to be byte-identical to
+//! the live file — a spurious conflict from a re-stamped revision (B16/B25) or a
+//! first-sync of an already-identical file. This sweep reconciles them after the
+//! fact:
+//!
+//! - **Identical** to the live sibling (same size *and* same content SHA-1): the
+//!   copy is redundant, so it is trashed and logged as a [`ActivityKind::Trash`].
+//! - **Divergent** (different bytes) or **orphaned** (no live sibling): left in
+//!   place and surfaced once as an [`ActivityKind::Conflict`], because only the
+//!   user can decide which version wins.
+//!
+//! Identity is proved without downloading anything: the SHA-1 comes from the
+//! revision's decrypted extended attributes, which enumeration already reads. A
+//! copy whose sibling has no recorded SHA-1 is treated as divergent — the sweep
+//! never removes a file it cannot prove is a duplicate.

+//!
+//! Launchers filter a static list; they cannot call back for a new one per

+//! and accepts free text, and any text that matches no entry becomes the next
+//! search. Escape (an empty selection) ends it.

A known share root takes its access from the persisted `share_access` table instead, which is also what makes the classification correct offline.
+
+Two rules decide the cases inheritance cannot:
+
+* **Not under a share, no role → `Owner` (fail open).** My Files and device folders are owned content; regressing this denies ordinary writes.
+* **Under a share with no usable role → `Viewer` (fail closed).** An unrecognised permission mask is never degraded into a guess.
+
+A node whose parent is not resident is the awkward case: a device folder's parent is the device root, which is never persisted as a node, so the whole subtree hydrates parentless. It resolves the way the persisted authority (`Db::effective_node_access`) does — a recorded share row above it wins, otherwise fail open on the mount's own volume and closed on a foreign one (`docs/BUGS.md` B79).
+
+Enforcement is three layers, and only the third closes B34:
+
+1. **Mode bits.** `attr()` returns `0o555`/`0o444` for a non-writable entry, and both mount paths set `MountOption::DefaultPermissions`, so the *kernel* refuses `open(O_WRONLY)`, `access(W_OK)` and namespace operations for any non-root process.
+2. **Handler gates.** `EACCES` in `create`/`mkdir`/`unlink`/`rmdir`/`rename` (parent-writable; both parents for a rename) and in `open`-for-write/`write`/`setattr`/`fallocate`. Covers root and stale attribute TTLs.
+3. **Queue guards.** `Core::require_uid_writable` admits a mutation only when the persisted authority *and* every live inode space agree the uid is writable. Nothing reaches `pending_op` otherwise, so the perpetual failing drain that B34 describes cannot occur even if a handler check is missed. The intersection is across mounts because a uid may be resident in more than one inode space.
+
+`EACCES`, not `EROFS`, for a read-only subtree inside a read-write mount: `EROFS` means "read-only filesystem" and misleads the heuristics in `cp`, `rsync` and `git`.
+
+### Local Locations
+
+`mount` is a presentation table: one row per local place this client occupies — the primary My Files session, and each device folder in mirror or on-demand mode. `sync_folder` remains the sync engine's own table (`sync_entry` is FK'd to it) and `MountKind::Device { sync_folder_id }` is the join. `Request::ListLocations` serves the table to `pdfs locations` and the GUI's Locations page.
+
+A mirror folder is a plain local directory with no FUSE session, so a row can legitimately describe a location that is not mounted — which is why the page is called *Locations* rather than *Mounts*. The primary mountpoint stays in `AppConfig`, with its `mount` row written at daemon start as a projection of it, so there are not two sources of truth for that path.

+
+`SearchV2` is the shared search boundary for the resident prompt. One request carries the query, result limit, requested sources (`Drive`, `Local`), and content kind. The daemon queries Drive metadata and the local home-directory index, then applies [`pdfs_core::search::relevance_score`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/search.rs) to both result sets. Exact and prefix matches rank above substring, abbreviation, and bounded typo matches; all query terms must match either the basename or parent path. Returning scores on one scale lets the GUI merge both sources into a deterministic **Best matches** list.

Raising `LimitMEMLOCK` in the systemd unit would *not* change this — there is no locking to permit. The effective mitigation is encrypted swap (dm-crypt / `systemd-cryptsetup`), which is standard on a LUKS install.
 - **Kernel page cache.** Plaintext returned through FUSE is cached by the kernel like any other file data, and is likewise swappable.

-**The daemon does not set restrictive permissions on anything it creates.** Cache and state directories come from `create_dir_all`, and `control.sock` from a plain `UnixListener::bind` — all subject to the process umask, which on a typical desktop yields `0755` directories and a `0755` socket.
+On every start, `AppDirs::ensure` verifies that the state, cache, and configuration paths are real directories owned by the effective user, rejects symlink substitution or the wrong owner, and enforces mode `0700`.

The directories are restricted *before* the socket is bound, which closes the window between `bind` and `chmod`. A control socket whose mode cannot be set takes the daemon down rather than serving unguarded.

 ### 8.6 Implications for deployment

 - Treat the cache and state directories as being as sensitive as the Drive contents themselves.
- Multi-user machines warrant checking `~/.cache` and `~/.local/state` are `0700` until §8.5 is addressed.
+- Restored or manually copied profiles must remain owned by the user. The daemon refuses to start against wrong-owner or symlinked sensitive directories.
 - Purging the cache (`pdfs` settings, or `PurgeCache` over IPC) removes content but **not** `cache.db`, and deliberately never removes undrained `staging/` or `recovery/` blobs.

+Consolidated from the historical feature roadmap; current bug status lives in [`BUGS.md`](BUGS.md).

-* **Local Cache & Metadata Encryption at Rest (Priority 5 / Horizon 1)**: Encrypt the SQLite database `cache.db` on disk using SQLCipher (`rusqlite` feature `bundled-sqlcipher`), and encrypt raw content cache blocks (`content/blocks/` and `content/scratch/`) using a fast symmetric scheme like AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305.

The encryption key should be derived from the OS Keyring. (The SDK entity cache in `sdk_cache.db` is already encrypted at rest — see *Persistent SDK Entity Cache* below — but `cache.db` and the content cache are not.)
 * **Active Bandwidth Throttling & Traffic Shaping (Horizon 1)**: Add speed governors for daemon uploads and downloads. Support configuration variables `max_upload_rate_kbps` and `max_download_rate_kbps` in `config.json` that can be dynamically adjusted over the Unix control socket.
 * **Interactive & Policy-Based Conflict Resolution (Horizon 1)**: Implement configurable conflict resolution policies (`rename-local`, `rename-remote`, `prefer-local`, `prefer-remote`, `interactive`). Add a "Conflicts" tab to the GUI to notify the user, block sync, and launch external visual diff tools (like Meld or KDiff3).
 * **Multi-Account / Multi-Profile Support (Horizon 3)**: Enable running multiple profiles concurrently. Support separate configuration namespaces (e.g. `profiles/<profile_name>/`), independent SQLite databases, distinct mount paths (e.g. `~/ProtonDrive/Personal` and `~/ProtonDrive/Work`), and multiple daemon processes.
 * **Custom FUSE Mount Options (Horizon 1)**: Expose custom mounting parameters in configuration (e.g. `ro` for read-only, `direct_io` to bypass kernel caching, `allow_other`). Auto-generate systemd user mount units upon sync folder configuration.
 * **Symbolic Link & Hard Link Virtualization (Horizon 2)**: Add symbolic link virtualization inside the metadata store (`NodeType::Symlink`) by intercepting `readlink(2)` and `symlink(2)`. Targets should sync remotely as small encrypted metadata placeholder files on Drive (`proton-vfs-symlink: <target>`).
 * **Desktop File Manager Integration (Horizon 2)**: Develop shell extension plugins for popular Linux file managers (Nautilus Python plugin, Dolphin Service Menus, Thunar custom actions) to offer context-menu shortcuts ("Pin", "Unpin", "Copy Share Link", "View Version History") and file overlay sync badges.
-* **Integrated Photo Gallery Enhancements (Horizon 2)**: Extract and display Exif metadata (camera model, exposure, coordinates) from photos locally, support creating and editing Proton Photo Albums, build a date-based timeline scrollbar, and create an auto-upload Pictures folder pipeline.
+* **Integrated Photo Gallery Enhancements (Horizon 2)**: Support creating and editing Proton Photo Albums (album *writes* are unported in the SDK too) and create an auto-upload Pictures folder pipeline. Exif display, the date-based timeline scrubber and favourites are implemented.
 * **Random-Access Media Streaming seek support (Horizon 2)**: Intercept out-of-order sparse reads (player seeks) in `pdfs-fuse` and prioritize downloading blocks around the seek offset, aborting/postponing sequential pre-fetches.
 * **Dynamic Sync Dashboard & Queue Visualization (Horizon 2)**: GUI real-time transfer list (progress bars, speed, ETA), sync history feed, storage usage breakdown, and global pause/resume sync controls.
 * **Interactive Terminal UI (TUI) Mode (Horizon 3)**: Implement `pdfs tui` using the `ratatui` crate to show transfer speed, sync status, active transfer queue with progress bars, and scrolling daemon logs.
 * **Shutdown Safety & Write Queue Visibility (Horizon 1 / P4)**: Register systemd inhibitor locks in `pdfs-fuse` when there are outstanding staging writes to prevent shutdown or sleep, pop up warnings when exiting the GUI, and build a blocking `pdfs sync flush` command.
 * **Block-Level Deduplication (Horizon 3)**: Transition to a Content-Addressable block cache where cached blocks are stored on disk by their SHA-256 hash. Map logical ranges in the database: `(node_uid, block_idx) -> block_hash` to avoid storing or downloading identical blocks.
 * **Pre-emptive Sync Debouncing & File System Events (Horizon 3)**: Group filesystem write events on paths and delay sync queue insertion until a quiet period has elapsed (e.g. 5 seconds of inactivity) to prevent thrashing the Proton API.
-* **File Version History (Horizon 2)**: Expose past file revisions and version history inside the GUI browser tabs.

+- **The active revision cannot be deleted.** `Core::delete_revision_for_uid` checks that locally so the user gets a sentence rather than an API code, and the dialog gives the current row no delete button.
+- **Saving a version never overwrites.** `SaveRevisionAs` refuses an existing destination and removes a partial file if the download fails — a half-written export looks identical to a good one to every tool that opens it afterwards.
+
+### Photo Favourites (Implemented)
+**Files**: [`photos.rs`](../crates/pdfs-fuse/src/photos.rs), [`photo_viewer.rs`](../crates/pdfs-gui/src/app/pages/photo_viewer.rs)
+
+The gallery can mark and filter favourites, through the SDK's photo-tag API (`update_photos`). Schema **v20** adds `photos.favorite`; the flag is learned in the timeline enrichment pass that already resolves each photo's name and media type, and is kept across a refresh that could not resolve a photo — the same learned-and-kept rule as `media_type`. The lightbox carries a star toggle, the Photos header a favourites filter, and the CLI has `pdfs favorite <uid> [--remove]` plus `pdfs photos --favorites`.
+
+Favouriting a photo that is not on this account's own photos volume (shared with us, or album-only) needs it re-encrypted for our timeline root, which the SDK does not implement; the daemon surfaces that as an error rather than silently doing nothing.
+
+### Persistent SDK Entity Cache (Implemented)
+**Files**: [`sdkcache.rs`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/sdkcache.rs), [`auth.rs`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/auth.rs), [`background.rs`](../crates/pdfs-fuse/src/background.rs)
+
+The SDK's Drive entity cache (decrypted node metadata: name, size, parent, signing share) defaulted to memory, so every daemon restart re-fetched and re-decrypted the tree the previous run had already walked. It is now backed by SQLite.
+
+- **Its own file** (`sdk_cache.db` in the state directory), not `cache.db`: the daemon's `Db` is one `Mutex<Connection>` shared by every FUSE thread and the control socket, and this traffic is frequent, small and entirely reconstructible. A separate file also means no schema migration — the store can be deleted at any time.
+- **Encrypted at rest** by wrapping it in the SDK's `EncryptedCacheRepository`, keyed by the mailbox password. A password change reads as a cold cache (the SDK treats an undecryptable entry as a miss and clears the store), not as an error.
+- **Staleness** is closed by the event loop, which already replays from a persisted cursor and calls `invalidate_caches_for_event` for every event — including those raised while the daemon was down. The one case with no trail is a *seeded* cursor (first-ever mount, or a lost cursor), where the seed path now clears the store instead of trusting it. `auth::logout` removes the file.
+
+Needed a small additive SDK change (`ProtonDriveClient::with_entity_repository`, 0.5.1): `with_entity_cache` is a constructor and so could not be combined with `with_key_salts`, which the daemon requires.
+
+### Per-node Batch Outcomes (Implemented)
+**File**: [`batch.rs`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/batch.rs)
+
+SDK 0.5.0 made `trash_nodes` / `restore_nodes` / `delete_nodes` report one outcome per node instead of failing the whole call (mirroring upstream's streamed `NodeActionResult`). `pdfs_core::batch::into_unit` collapses the single-node calls back to a `Result`; `batch::split` handles a collected batch.
+
+The trash view's restore and permanent-delete use the SDK's **streaming** variants (`restore_nodes_streaming` / `delete_nodes_streaming`) and apply local state per node as each batch lands rather than after the last one. For a permanent delete — which is irreversible — that means a daemon interrupted mid-batch has forgotten exactly the nodes the server destroyed, no more and no fewer. Both report per-node failures and count only what actually succeeded; only a batch where nothing succeeded is an error.
+

 Use a dedicated test account without irreplaceable data:

 ```console
-scripts/fuse-acceptance.sh /mnt/on-demand-testmount
+scripts/fuse-acceptance.sh --live /mnt/on-demand-testmount
 ```

+### The mount is diffed against an ordinary filesystem
+
+The local reference run is not only a self-test of the runner. Every case
+records the facts it established, and a live run is compared against those
+recordings, so a case fails when the mount *differs* from an ordinary
+filesystem — not only when it raises. The report names the exact key:
+
+```
+  [DIVERGENCE] live FUSE /mnt/testmount does not match the reference filesystem:
+    ! creation and open flags.truncated.size: live=6 reference=0
+```
+
+Facts are recorded in one of two ways, chosen in the test body:
+
+- **compared** — a claim about filesystem semantics. The mount must agree.
+- **noted** — context that legitimately differs: inode numbers, block counts,
+  reported mode bits, and which optional syscalls exist at all. Reported under
+  `[capabilities]`, never a failure.
+
+Because the choice is made at each call site, the set of accepted divergences
+is visible in the test that accepts it. There is no separate allowlist to drift
+out of date. When adding a case, prefer `record`; reach for `note` only when an
+ordinary filesystem can do something a network filesystem genuinely cannot.
+
+### Operations the filesystem does not implement
+
+`git`, `rsync`, `cp -a`, `tar`, `df` and most installers probe for symlinks,
+hard links, FIFOs, device nodes, `statfs`, file locks, `copy_file_range`,
+`O_DIRECT` and `SEEK_HOLE` whether or not a filesystem offers them. The suite
+asserts that each either works or is *refused cleanly* — a recognised errno,
+never `EIO` and never a hang. A refusal that is merely unimplemented is fine;
+one that is dirty breaks software that never asked for the feature.
+
+### Regressions from the bug ledger
+
+Cases named `regression B<n>` reproduce a bug from `docs/BUGS.md` so it stays
+fixed. B69 (identical rewrite must not fork a `(sync-conflict …)` copy), B70 (an
+in-flight `.crdownload` must not be sealed as a revision) and B74 (a file
+renamed after close must keep its content) need a real mount and a reachable
+daemon; they are skipped, not failed, without one.
+
+B74 is currently **failing** — it is a live data-loss defect, not a regression
+guard, and it was found by exactly this mechanism: the B70 case failed, and
+narrowing it produced a smaller reproduction that has its own case now. Expect a
+red run against a real mount until it is fixed.
+
+**B79** (an on-demand device folder accepts writes) discovers its target from
+`pdfs locations --json` and skips when this machine has no mounted on-demand
+folder. It is the cheap standing guard against a *cross-mount* permission
+regression: the primary mount holds device-folder nodes too, and the queue guard
+intersects what every live inode space says about a uid, so a fail-closed
+classification in one mount denies writes in another.
+
+**B34** (a viewer-role share is read-only) and **B34b** (an editor-role share
+still writes) locate their subject through `pdfs shared-with-me --json`, which
+now carries `role` and a mount-relative `path`. Both skip when the account has no
+accepted share at that role — B34 needs a **second account** to have shared a
+folder read-only, which is the one part of the sharing suite that cannot be
+self-served. B34b degrades gracefully in the other direction: a shared *file*
+gets its mode bits and `W_OK` checked but is never written to, because it is
+someone else's document.
+
+B34's fourth assertion is the load-bearing one: `pending_uploads` and
+`pending_changes` must be **unchanged** across the refused writes. Mode bits
+alone would pass a fix that still admitted the write into `pending_op`, which is
+the actual harm — a background drain failing 403 forever.
+
+**Synthetic `Shared with me/` directory contract** asserts the virtual directory
+enumerates, reports `0555`, and refuses `mkdir`/`rmdir`/`rename`. It skips when
+the directory is absent (an account with no accepted shares).
+
+A regression case asserts against the *remote* outcome, so it must wait for the
+queue to drain before reading. Reading straight back through the mount proves
+nothing: the local attribute and content caches will happily return the bytes
+that were just written even when nothing reached Drive, which is precisely how
+B74 stayed invisible.
+
+### Timeouts, reports, and hung mounts
+
+A wedged FUSE operation cannot be interrupted from Python, so each case runs
+under a soft alarm (`--timeout`, default 180s) that reports the case and lets
+cleanup run, backed by a hard stop that dumps every thread's stack and exits.
+That backstop is the only way to learn *where* a mount hung. A timeout ends the
+run: later cases against a wedged mount produce noise, not information.
+
+```console
+scripts/fuse-acceptance.sh --live /mnt/testmount \
+  --timeout 300 --report-junit results.xml --budget 30
+```
+
+`--report-json` also writes every recorded observation, which is what to attach
+to a bug report. `--budget SECONDS` flags cases that pass but got slower —
+B5 was a 186 ms-per-call regression that a pass/fail suite could not see.
+`--list` prints every case and which targets it runs against, and `--fail-fast`
+stops at the first failure.
+
+`--journal-check` fails the run if `proton-drive.service` logged any error while
+it ran. A suite can pass every assertion while the daemon logs failures behind
+it; that has happened, and it was caught only by reading the journal by hand.
+
+Abandoned `pdfs-acceptance-*` roots from a crashed run are removed at startup,
+but only if they match the exact generated name and are over an hour old
+(`PDFS_ACCEPTANCE_REAP_AGE`), so a concurrent run is never disturbed.
+
+### Automated mode matrix
+
+The managed live runner accepts two existing, empty, unmounted directories. It
+registers both as new sync folders, waits for initial synchronization, then
+tests all four pairs in order: on-demand/on-demand, on-demand/mirror,
+mirror/on-demand, and mirror/mirror. Every transition must become idle, and an
+on-demand folder must actually appear as a mount before its contract runs.
+
+```console
+mkdir -p /mnt/pdfs-test-a /mnt/pdfs-test-b
+scripts/fuse-acceptance.sh --managed-live /mnt/pdfs-test-a /mnt/pdfs-test-b
+```
+
+This creates remote folders and permanently deletes those test remotes during
+cleanup. It refuses non-empty paths, existing mounts, and paths already present
+in `pdfs sync list`. Use `PDFS_ACCEPTANCE_SYNC_TIMEOUT` to extend transition
+timeouts and `PDFS_ACCEPTANCE_PDFS` to select a non-installed CLI binary, for
+example `target/debug/pdfs`.
+
+### Durability drill
+
+`--durability` restarts `proton-drive.service` in the middle of the suite and
+re-verifies the bytes written before it. `staging/` and `recovery/` can hold the
+only copy of a file whose upload has not finished, so this is the case that
+proves the queue is persistent rather than in-memory. It is opt-in because it
+interrupts a running daemon; `PDFS_ACCEPTANCE_UNIT` selects a different unit.
+
+### Selecting cases
+
+During development, `PDFS_ACCEPTANCE_ONLY` runs tests whose descriptive name
+contains the supplied text (for example `PDFS_ACCEPTANCE_ONLY=namespace`). A
+release acceptance run must leave it unset so the complete contract executes.
+
+A filter naming a live-only case (every `regression B<n>` is one) selects nothing
+in the account-free reference run, which is not an error — that target simply has
+nothing to do. Only a filter matching *no case at all* fails, as the typo it is.
+
 Passing more paths runs the same filesystem suite independently against each.
 The first path must be the FUSE mount under test; later paths may be another
 FUSE mount or a normal local mirror filesystem:

 ```console
 PDFS_ACCEPTANCE_SYNC_TIMEOUT=180 \
-  scripts/fuse-acceptance.sh /mnt/on-demand-testmount /mnt/testmount
+  scripts/fuse-acceptance.sh --live /mnt/on-demand-testmount /mnt/testmount

+
+## P1 — 29% of Drive is unsearchable
+
+`node_is_indexable_tx` (`crates/pdfs-core/src/db/nodes.rs:606`) indexes a node
+only when the ancestor walk terminates at a row with `parent_uid IS NULL`. The
+DB holds exactly one such row (the My Files root). Device roots live in
+`device`/`sync_folder`, never in `nodes`, so every device-folder subtree
+(`Downloads`, `Pictures`, `Documents`, `Music`, `Videos` under device
+*nthinkpad*) walks up to a `parent_uid` with no row and is judged unindexable.
+Stale `pdfs-acceptance-*` roots hit the same path.
+
+- [x] Relax the rule to "the walk terminates and no ancestor is trashed",
+      keeping the existing cycle guard. A subtree whose top row's parent is
+      simply not cached is still real, reachable data.
+- [x] `MIGRATION_V21`: rebuild `nodes_fts` under the new rule, so existing
+      installs recover the missing rows instead of waiting for each node to be
+      upserted again.
+- [x] Tests: a node under an uncached parent is indexed; a trashed ancestor
+      still excludes; the migration backfills.
+
+### Found while testing: a parent cycle hangs the daemon
+
+Writing the cycle test surfaced a live defect, not a test artefact. A query
+below the trigram minimum takes the `LIKE` lane, which reads `nodes` directly
+and never consults the index, and every row it returns goes through `path_of` —
+whose parent walk is an unguarded `UNION ALL`. On a `parent_uid` cycle it never
+terminates, while holding the daemon's only SQLite connection.
+
+- [x] Depth-cap `path_of` (`db/utils.rs`), matching the 1024 cap
+      `path_relative_to` already carried.
+- [x] Depth-cap the `descendants` CTE in `upsert_node_tx`, which has the same
+      exposure on the write side.
+- [x] Keep cycles out of the index (part of the P1 rule above).
+
+Still unguarded, not touched here: `pin_is_pinned`'s ancestor walk.
+
+## P2 — local index noise crowds real files out of the candidate pool
+
+`SKIP_DIRS` (`crates/pdfs-core/src/localindex.rs:23`) misses the Go module
+cache and build output dirs. `search_v2` clamps candidates to ≤1000 and scores
+*after* SQLite, so for any common term the pool is exhausted by vendored files
+before a real one is considered.
+
+- [x] Skip `go/pkg/mod` (path-relative, not a bare name), `dist`, `build`,
+      `.cache`-style artefact dirs.
+- [x] Give `search_local_candidates` a name-prefix lane, mirroring what
+      `search_candidates` already does for Drive, so an exact-prefix match
+      cannot be starved by trigram rank.
+- [x] Tests for both.
+
+## P3 — display lies about where a hit lives
+
+- [x] `Hit::location()` (`crates/pdfs-gui/src/prompt.rs:150`) hardcodes
+      `My files / …` for every Drive hit. Derive the label from
+      `mounted_path` when the daemon resolved one (device folder, sync folder)
+      and fall back to `My files` only for the primary mount.
+- [x] Pin rows set `is_dir: pin.recursive` (`dmenu.rs:133`, `prompt.rs:872`) —
+      a non-recursively pinned folder renders and activates as a file.
+- [ ] `pdfs locations` prints `Device folder 1..5` rather than the device and
+      folder name. (Cosmetic; deferred.)

nvrlandClaude Opus 5	bca0fe34bc	fix(fuse,core): key conflict detection on revision id, stop transient-name seals (B69, B70) B69 — spurious `(sync-conflict)` copies came from `(mtime, size)` being used as a revision identity. The server re-stamps a sealed revision with its own commit time, so the drain diverted a write into a conflict copy of its own base; and `plan_file` classified a no-baseline (local, remote) pair as `Conflict`, forking every pre-existing file on first reconcile. - `Baseline` carries `revision_id` (from the SDK's new `active_revision_id`), captured at write-open and preserved across supersede/rebaseline. `revision_changed` trusts the id and only falls back to `(mtime, size)` for old sidecars. - Planner gains `FilePlan::AdoptBaseline`: equal-size no-baseline pairs are recorded, not conflicted. Divergent sizes stay a real conflict. - New `sweep.rs` (`pdfs-conflict-sweep`, 5-min cadence) removes conflict copies proven identical by size + `content_sha1` and surfaces divergent ones once as an `ActivityKind::Conflict` entry. Never removes what it cannot prove. B70 — browsers downloading into an on-demand mount had their in-flight temps sealed as canonical revisions, exiling the finished file to a conflict copy. `syncignore::is_transient_name` now recognises download/scratch temps, and the on-demand `release`/`rename` paths hold them (`set_create_hold`) instead of sealing until the name is finalized. Workspace deps bumped to proton-sdk/proton-drive-rs 0.2.2 (registry, no patch). Live validation against a real account still pending for both.
