 - **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.

 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`.
+

+//! Driving an external dmenu-style launcher (fuzzel, rofi, wofi, …).
+//!
+//! `pdfs-prompt` ships its own GTK HUD, but on a tiling-WM desktop the user
+//! already has a launcher bound to a key, themed to match everything else. This
+//! module lets the prompt borrow it: entries go out on the child's stdin, the
+//! chosen line comes back on stdout.
+//!
+//! Two things vary between launchers and are the only reasons this is not four
+//! lines of `Command`:
+//!
+//! * the flag that turns on filter mode and the one that sets the prompt text;
+//! * icon support, which fuzzel and rofi both spell `text\0icon\x1fNAME` and
+//!   everything else would render as literal garbage.
+//!
+//! Selection is matched back by label rather than by index, because the one
+//! feature no launcher agrees on is index output. A line that matches nothing is
+//! the user's own typing — [`MenuChoice::Custom`] — which is what makes
+//! type-then-search work at all.

+//! 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.

+//! File version history: listing a file's revisions, restoring one, deleting
+//! one, and writing an old one out to a local path.
+//!
+//! 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.

+//!
+//! Everything here is blocking and GTK-free — the process exists for one
+//! round-trip and then exits, so there is no main loop to keep off. It reuses
+//! the GTK prompt's [`Hit`](crate::Hit) model and ranking, and its Drive
+//! activation policy, so the two front ends cannot drift on what "open" means.
+//!
+//! Launchers filter a static list; they cannot call back for a new one per
+//! keystroke. So the interaction is a loop: the first menu shows pinned files
+//! and accepts free text, and any text that matches no entry becomes the next
+//! search. Escape (an empty selection) ends it.

+## B82 — A `parent_uid` cycle hangs the daemon on any short search
+
+**Status:** Fixed (unverified) 2026-08-12 — unit-tested, not driven against a
+real corrupted database (nobody has one).
+**Found:** 2026-08-12, writing a test for B80. The test built a two-node cycle
+and called `search`; `cargo test -p pdfs-core` then sat at
+`search_excludes_a_parent_cycle` for 29 minutes with **zero CPU** before it was
+killed. Two earlier runs had already been abandoned to the same stall without
+the cause being understood — it looks exactly like a cargo lock contention
+problem, which is what it was first blamed on.
+**Where:** `path_of` (`crates/pdfs-core/src/db/utils.rs`), `upsert_node_tx`'s
+`descendants` CTE (`db/nodes.rs`).
+
+**Root cause.** Both walks are recursive CTEs using `UNION ALL`, which does not
+deduplicate, so `a.parent = b, b.parent = a` never terminates. The index side
+was never exposed — `node_is_indexable_tx` rejects a cycle — but a query shorter
+than `TRIGRAM_MIN` (3 chars) takes the `LIKE` lane, and **that lane reads
+`nodes` directly and never consults the index**. Every row it returns is then
+handed to `path_of`. So typing two characters into the prompt was enough, and
+the spin happens while holding the daemon's only SQLite connection: the mount,
+the drain, and every control request stop with it.
+
+The API is what would produce such a cycle (a rename/move race, a malformed
+event), so this is not a "corrupt your own DB" scenario only.
+
+**Fix.** `path_of` is depth-capped at 256 and returns the truncated path rather
+than hanging; `path_relative_to` already carried a 1024 cap, which is the
+precedent. The `descendants` CTE in `upsert_node_tx` got the same guard for the
+write side. Cycles also stay out of the index (see B80).
+
+**Still open:** `pin_is_pinned`'s ancestor walk (`db/pins.rs`) has the same
+shape and no guard. Not reached from search, so it was left alone.
+
+## B81 — Prompt labels every Drive hit "My files", including device folders
+
+**Status:** Fixed (unverified) 2026-08-12 — needs a GUI/dmenu run.
+**Found:** 2026-08-12, reading the prompt while fixing B80: with B80 fixed, a
+device-folder hit would render as `My files / Downloads`, a folder that does not
+exist under the primary mount, while activating the same row opens
+`~/Downloads/…`. Label and action disagreed.
+**Where:** `Hit::location()` (`crates/pdfs-gui/src/prompt.rs`), shared by the
+GTK prompt and the dmenu front-end.
+
+The label was built from `SearchHit::path` with a hardcoded `My files /` prefix.
+The daemon already resolves a device/sync-folder hit to a real local path in
+`mounted_path` (`Core::mounted_search_path`), which is also what activation
+uses; the label now derives from that when it is set, and falls back to
+`My files` only for the primary mount.
+
+**Second defect, same area.** Pin rows set `is_dir` from `Pin::recursive`
+(`prompt.rs`, `dmenu.rs`). That flag is pin *policy* — whether the subtree is
+kept on disk — not node kind, so a folder pinned non-recursively drew a file
+icon and sent an invalid `OpenFile`. `Pin` now carries an `is_dir: Option<bool>`
+resolved from the `nodes` row by `pin_list`, serde-defaulted so an older daemon
+(which omits it) still parses; front-ends fall back to `recursive` only when the
+node is not cached.
+
+## B80 — 29% of the account is absent from the search index
+
+**Status:** Fixed (unverified) 2026-08-12 — migration replayed against a
+read-only copy of the live DB; not yet run by the daemon itself.
+**Found:** 2026-08-12, auditing `cache.db` after a user report that search felt
+unreliable. `pdfs search tickets` returned only the My Files folder
+`Documents/Tickets`, never the `tickets.pdf` sitting in the device folder
+`Downloads`. Counting the tables explained it:
+
+```
+nodes                     9252
+nodes_fts                 6547     ← 2705 rows never indexed
+nodes in orphan subtrees  2705     ← exactly the missing set
+```
+
+**Where:** `node_is_indexable_tx` (`crates/pdfs-core/src/db/nodes.rs`).
+
+**Root cause — the same one as B79.** A node was indexed only if walking
+`parent_uid` reached a row with `parent_uid IS NULL`. Exactly one row is stored
+that way (the My Files root). A device folder's root lives in `device` /
+`sync_folder` and is **never persisted as a `nodes` row**, so `Downloads`,
+`Pictures`, `Documents`, `Music` and `Videos` walk up to a parent that does not
+exist and were judged unindexable, along with everything beneath them. Stale
+`pdfs-acceptance-*` roots hit the same path.
+
+The v16 backfill did *not* share the bug — it rooted its walk at any node whose
+parent is null **or absent**. So the index was correct immediately after
+migrating and then lost each subtree the first time one of its nodes was
+rewritten. That divergence between backfill and write path is why this survived:
+a fresh install looks fine.
+
+**Fix.** Indexability now requires only that the walk terminates with nothing
+trashed on the way; a cycle is still rejected explicitly (B82). `MIGRATION_V21`
+(`SCHEMA_VERSION` → 21) rebuilds `nodes_fts` so existing installs recover
+without waiting for each node to be rewritten, and fixes two gaps in the v16
+walk it replays: descendants of a trashed folder stay out, and the walk is
+depth-capped.
+
+Replayed against a `.backup` of the live DB: **9276 non-trashed nodes → 9276
+indexed** (from 6547), 300 rows under `Downloads`, `tickets.pdf` at
+`Downloads/tickets.pdf`.
+
+**Watch for.** That path is the second thing this uncovered: the backfill first
+seeded an uncached-parent root with an empty path, so the migration indexed
+`tickets.pdf` while a later upsert indexed `Downloads/tickets.pdf` — the same
+node with two paths depending on which code wrote it. Any future rebuild of this

+**Related, not a defect.** The local half of the prompt indexes 110,187 files,
+63,399 of them (58%) the Go module cache. Candidates are capped at 1000 and
+scored *after* SQLite, so for a common term the pool filled with vendored files
+before a real one was considered — for "test", 367 of the 500 best-ranked
+candidates came from `go/pkg/mod`. `SKIP_DIRS` gained `dist`/`build`, a new
+`SKIP_PATH_SUFFIXES` covers `go/pkg/mod`, and both candidate functions gained a
+whole-query prefix lane ahead of the existing single-character one.

 ## 1. Core Feature Roadmap (Horizon Tasks)
 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.
+* **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.

 ## 6. Recently Implemented Features
 
+### File Version History (Implemented)
+**Files**: [`revisions.rs`](../crates/pdfs-fuse/src/revisions.rs), [`control.rs`](../crates/pdfs-core/src/control.rs), [`versions_dialog.rs`](../crates/pdfs-gui/src/app/widgets/versions_dialog.rs)
+
+Proton Drive keeps every revision a client committed; the daemon only ever addressed the active one, so a file overwritten by a sync pass could be recovered only from whatever the local `recovery/` directory happened to hold.
+
+The control protocol gained `ListRevisions` / `RestoreRevision` / `DeleteRevision` / `SaveRevisionAs` (each with a `…ByUid` twin for nodes the primary mount cannot name), the CLI gained `pdfs versions list|restore|save|rm`, and the browser's details pane gained a **Versions** button opening a per-file dialog.
+
+Three properties that shape the code:
+
+- **A restore is server-side and asynchronous.** No content crosses the wire and nothing enters the drain queue; the server answers 202 and swaps the active revision in the background, so the daemon evicts the file's cached blocks and open readers rather than describing the new state, and the UI wording promises the request, not the result.
+- **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.
+

 ### Open-for-Write Deferral for Mirror Sync (Implemented)

+# Search index + prompt display fixes
+
+Working plan. Findings come from an audit of a real `cache.db`
+(9,252 Drive nodes, 110,187 local files) on 2026-08-12.
+
+## Evidence
+
+```
+nodes                     9252
+nodes_fts                 6547     ← 2705 rows never indexed
+nodes in orphan subtrees  2705     ← exactly the missing set
+local_files              110187
+  /home/narl/go/pkg/mod   63399    (58% of the local index)
+query "test"             46405 local matches, candidate pool capped at 1000
+  top 500 by fts rank      367 (73%) from go/pkg/mod
+```
+
+`pdfs search tickets` returns only `Documents/Tickets` (My Files); the
+`tickets.pdf` sitting in the device folder `Downloads` is invisible.
+
+## 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.)
+
+## Verification
+
+Done, 2026-08-12:
+
+```
+cargo fmt --all -- --check                                  clean
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings       clean
+cargo test --workspace --locked                             439 passed, 0 failed
+```
+
+The V21 backfill was also replayed against a read-only `.backup` of the live
+`cache.db`:
+
+```
+live_nodes         9276
+indexed            9276     (was 6547)
+downloads_subtree   300
+tickets.pdf ->     Downloads/tickets.pdf
+```
+
+That run is what caught the last defect: the backfill originally seeded an
+uncached-parent root with an empty path, so a node indexed by the migration
+(`tickets.pdf`) and the same node after a later upsert (`Downloads/tickets.pdf`)
+disagreed. The seed now keeps the name for any row that has a parent, matching
+`path_of`.
+
+Still to do, on the live system: rebuild, restart `proton-drive.service`, and
+confirm `pdfs search tickets` returns the device folder's `tickets.pdf`. The
+schema move to 21 is one-way — an older `pdfs` refuses a v21 database. The
+`local_files` shrink (~110k → ~47k) lands with the next background scan.
