Summary

  • Add WAL schema v11 with a canonical mount-domain recovery-anchor hint while retaining a strict v10 HOME recovery reader.
  • Select trash per source mount using held mount IDs, preserve central state trash when it is inside the domain, and otherwise use durable registered .degu-trash.
  • Use the same trusted-ancestry opener before the first WAL frame and for startup, undo, and purge; all mutation authority still comes from fresh core descriptor checks.
  • Support sources outside HOME and mount-root-relative v11 locators without permitting legacy empty locators or cross-mount copy/delete.

This change enables only already-certified local backends. It adds no distributed-filesystem profile or magic-based capability grant.

Validation

cargo fmt --all -- --check
umask 002 && cargo test --workspace --all-features --locked --quiet
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --locked -- -D warnings
cargo check --workspace --all-targets --all-features --locked --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
cargo check --release --workspace --locked
git diff --check

The musl command is a cross-target compile check, not a Linux runtime test.

Safety

  • Source and destination must retain one exact mount ID through core admission and recovery.
  • The v11 pathname only reopens candidate FDs. Filesystem ID, mount ID, backend, strong parent/root identity, locator, mode, ACL, and binding checks fail closed after every reopen.
  • New trash roots and registry entries are synced with their parent directory before forward staging can remove the source name.
  • V11 production frames without a recovery anchor are rejected by both the writer and replay; v10 frames remain readable without invented authority.
  • Terminal WAL mappings remain available for non-authoritative JSONL classification but are excluded before active undo/purge execution.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Cleaning and staging now support source locations outside $HOME when a secure, same-mount trash area is available.
    • Recovery uses authenticated mount-specific anchors, including across restarts and changes to $HOME.
    • Cross-mount copy/delete operations remain blocked for safety.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved recovery, undo, purge, and trash-location validation.
    • Trash-root creation and registry updates now synchronize reliably and avoid duplicate records.
    • Preserved compatibility with existing staged operations.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup, usage, and safety guidance for mount-specific storage and recovery behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces canonical-HOME staging assumptions with authenticated mount-domain recovery anchors. WAL v11 persists these anchors, staging and lifecycle recovery use them, storage selects same-mount trash roots, and v10 compatibility remains supported.

Changes

Mount-domain recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
WAL v11 recovery-anchor contract
crates/degu-core/src/seal_wal.rs, crates/degu-core/src/seal_wal/tests.rs
WAL v11 validates, encodes, decodes, and requires recovery anchors for production metadata. Legacy versions retain their prior anchor and locator rules.
Staging anchor propagation
crates/degu-core/src/sealed_staging.rs, crates/degu-core/src/staging_rename.rs, crates/degu-core/src/staging_recovery.rs, crates/degu-core/src/.../tests.rs
Staging requests, prepared metadata, and production entries carry optional recovery anchors. Empty locators can rebind to authenticated mount anchors.
Mount-local trash selection and synchronization
crates/degu/src/lifecycle/storage.rs, crates/degu/src/lifecycle/storage/validation.rs, crates/degu/src/lifecycle/storage/tests.rs, crates/degu/src/lifecycle/stage/mod.rs
Storage compares mount identities, selects state trash or anchored .degu-trash, and synchronizes trash-root and registry changes.
Production staging on authenticated mount domains
crates/degu/src/lifecycle/stage/production.rs, crates/degu/src/lifecycle/mod.rs
Production staging confines paths and verifies source and destination through mount-domain anchors. Destination conflicts select the next sequence and record production metadata.
Startup recovery, undo, purge, and documentation
crates/degu/src/lifecycle/mount.rs, crates/degu/src/lifecycle/mod.rs, crates/degu/src/lifecycle/undo/mod.rs, crates/degu/src/lifecycle/startup_tests.rs, crates/degu/tests/clean/lifecycle.rs, README.md, docs/safety.md, docs/usage.md
Lifecycle operations resolve per-entry anchors and fail closed when authentication fails. Integration tests cover recovery under a different HOME. Documentation describes mount-domain behavior and compatibility.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 30c83

The change can fail staging on a fresh state directory or when an ancestor mount check is unreadable, preventing affected files from being staged. These bounded availability issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

202-209: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

End the ancestor walk when mount inspection fails; do not discard a found anchor.

Line 204 propagates the path_mount_id error with ?. One unreadable ancestor above an already accepted anchor therefore fails the whole resolution, so resolve_trash_dir and every staging attempt fail. The previous meta.dev() comparison could not fail and simply ended the walk.

Stop the walk on inspection failure and keep the deepest accepted anchor.

🐛 Proposed fix
     while let Ok(meta) = std::fs::symlink_metadata(current) {
+        let Ok(current_mount) = path_mount_id(current) else {
+            break;
+        };
         if !meta.is_dir()
-            || path_mount_id(current)? != mount_id
+            || current_mount != mount_id
             || meta.uid() != euid
             || rustix::fs::access(current, rustix::fs::Access::WRITE_OK).is_err()
         {
             break;
         }

Assert the propagated recovery anchor.

This test supplies fixture.base but does not verify ProductionStagingEntry::recovery_anchor(). Add the assertion to protect WAL-to-lifecycle anchor propagation.

166-187: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use OFlags::PATH for Linux mount identity probing. strong_identity_fd reads STATX_MNT_ID with statx(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH, ...), which supports O_PATH descriptors. This avoids requiring read permission on directories used only for identity checks.

- Around line 31-43: Update is_state_trash_root so failure to canonicalize
root.parent() triggers the lexical comparison via trash_dir_state(ctx) == root,
rather than comparing None with canonical_root. Preserve the existing canonical
comparison when both paths can be resolved, and retain the fallback for failures
canonicalizing ctx.xdg_state().
