7465b6a80f fix(mount): make a concurrent duplicate mkdir fail with EEXIST instead of both succeeding (#11079)
* fix(mount): make Mkdir exclusive so a concurrent duplicate fails with EEXIST

Mkdir sent CreateEntryRequest without OExcl, so the filer treated a
concurrent duplicate as an update and reported success to both callers;
the kernel's pre-mkdir lookup only masks this when the winner's create
is already visible. Set OExcl, map the entry-already-exists sentinel to
EEXIST instead of EIO, and drop the parent's children cache on the
losing side so the next lookup fetches the winner's entry.

* fix(mount): route exclusive creates to the path's owner filer

The filer's per-path lock is filer-local and the store insert has
upsert semantics, so two mounts streaming to different filers can both
create the same path even with OExcl (measured 18/30 both-success on a
3-filer cluster). Hash the path over the sorted filer list so every
mount sends the same path's exclusive create to the same owner filer:
keep the mutation stream when it already targets the owner, fall back
to it when the owner is unreachable. Also let doUnary hand failed
creates to CreateEntry so the structured error code survives as EEXIST
instead of collapsing into the stream's generic EIO. Same race after
the change: 30/30 exactly one winner, every loser fails with EEXIST.

* fix(mount): review fixes — pin exclusive creates to the owner filer

An OExcl create now goes only to the path's owner filer: retrying on a
different filer would race the owner's possibly still-in-flight create
through a separate per-path lock, the very hole this routing closes. A
broken mutation stream retries the same owner over unary, and an
unreachable owner fails the create instead of degrading.

Pick the owner by rendezvous hashing so the choice is independent of the
configured filer order, and mounts configured with different but
overlapping lists still agree wherever the winning filer appears in
both.

Reject a stream create wrapper whose nested response is nil instead of
handing it to CreateEntry, which would dereference it.

Add ownerFilerAddress unit tests: order independence, subset agreement,
spread.

* mount: drop the client-side owner ring, the filer routes exclusive creates now

Exclusive creates are arbitrated cluster-wide on the server: the filer resolves
an OExcl create's ring owner and forwards one hop, so one filer's per-path lock
binds every creator — mount, S3, the HTTP surface and the Java client alike, not
only the ones that opted into a client-side ring.

That makes exclusiveCreateEntry redundant. It hashed the mount's configured
-filer list, which names a different owner than the master-maintained ring, and
failed the mkdir outright when its chosen owner was unreachable rather than
letting the ring reassign. Mkdir goes back to streamCreateEntry; OExcl and the
EEXIST mapping stay, and now mean what they say.

* mount: cover the create error plumbing that turns a lost race into EEXIST

Letting a failed create's structured code survive doUnary is what makes a lost
mkdir race report EEXIST instead of EIO, and it had no test. Pull the two steps
out so they can be exercised without a live stream: hasCreateResponse decides
whether a response still carries a code to unwrap, createEntryFromResponse does
the unwrapping.

Reading the guard the other way round also says what it means — consume the
response only when there is no nested code left to recover — rather than
negating a type assertion inline.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Fx1Hx8RqsJqHpbfbgTf4WJ

* mount: do not trust a create reply's shape before reading it

createEntryFromResponse read cr.ErrorCode without checking the nested response
was there. Nothing our filer sends is shaped that way, but the mount reads this
off the wire and a nil there panics the whole mount, so report it instead.

A top-level failure whose nested response carries no code was also returned as
success, silently losing the error. Fall back to the top-level errno when the
nested response explains nothing.

5d5fcdf07b fix(filer): bound aggregated metadata reads by peer watermarks (#10803)
* fix(filer): watermark-bound aggregated metadata subscription against multi-source merge races

The aggregated metadata subscription (SubscribeMetadata) merges per-filer
sources that become readable at independent paces, but tracks its progress
with a single scalar cursor. Once the cursor passes a timestamp T, anything
a source materializes below T afterwards is silently skipped: a peer
recovering from a stall re-inserts its backlog late (late ring merge), and
a source's flush can land a log file, or a later chunk of the same file,
after a subscriber's disk pass listed the files (late persisted-log
landing). This is the residual documented in #10501.

Bound the subscriber's two read paths by what every source has provably
made visible, each with its own watermark:

- Delivery low-watermark -> in-memory reads. The meta aggregator tracks,
  per subscribed peer (self included), the newest timestamp received on
  that peer's stream - real events, or idle heartbeats (peer streams now
  opt into ClientSupportsIdleHeartbeat). The aggregated ring is complete
  up to the minimum across peers; in-memory reads hold at it.
- Flush low-watermark -> persisted-log reads. Each filer reports its local
  log-buffer flush watermark on its stream: a new flushed_ts_ns response
  field, carried on idle heartbeats and on periodic flush reports (gated
  on ClientSupportsIdleHeartbeat). Disk passes freeze the minimum across
  peers before listing the log files and hold at it; the day-boundary
  cursor jump and the metadata-chunks ref listing are bounded the same
  way, the latter at minute-file granularity.
- Held reads keep the cursor at the last entry actually delivered and
  retry; the retry re-lists the log files, which is what picks up a
  late-landing file. Both watermarks are relaxed by the settled horizon
  (2 x LogFlushInterval) as a liveness escape, so a peer stalled beyond it
  delays subscribers by at most the horizon instead of forever - any loss
  that escape allows was unconditional before.

With reads held at the flush watermark, a disk advance below it is proven
complete on every peer's disk, so the unproven-crossing counter now only
counts crossings the horizon escape allowed past a stalled peer.

Live delivery on the aggregated stream may lag by up to the idle-heartbeat
interval when some peers are quiet; SubscribeLocalMetadata consumers are
unaffected.

* fix(filer): resume evicted aggregated readers from an original-space disk anchor

The aggregated ring rewrites out-of-order peer arrivals to its head, so a
subscriber tailing it advances its cursor in bumped (arrival) timestamps,
while persisted logs keep original timestamps. When a slow reader's unread
window is evicted (e.g. a peer backlog flooding in after a stall) and the
reader falls back to disk, resuming from the bumped cursor skips every
original-space entry below it that memory never delivered - reproduced as
a ~66% silent loss on a 3-filer cluster with one peer's stream frozen for
~70s while the subscriber lagged.

Track a disk anchor: the newest original-space position the stream is
proven complete through. Disk passes advance it directly; contiguous
memory reads advance it to the peers' delivery low-watermark observed
before the read (per-peer streams are ordered, so everything with an
original timestamp at or below that watermark had already arrived and was
delivered). A reader kicked off the ring resumes the disk pass from the
anchor instead of the bumped cursor - redelivering what memory already
sent is within the subscription's at-least-once contract, skipping what
it never sent is not.

* fix(filer): close review findings on the peer-watermark subscription bounds

Four correctness holes found in review, one generated-file cleanup:

- The flush-through claim could assert durability for events still on
  their way into the buffer: an event is timestamped before notification
  work that can block, and only then appended. Track stamped-but-unappended
  events on the Filer (the stamp shares a lock with the reader, and appends
  are bumped monotonically past the buffer head), and cap the reported
  flush watermark just below the oldest in-flight stamp.

- Removing a peer deleted its watermark entries while its stream kept
  running: its next signal recreated the deleted entry, which then pinned
  the low-watermark forever once the stream died. Watermarks now advance
  only for tracked peers, and peer removal cancels the subscription
  context so the stream stops feeding the aggregated buffer promptly.

- The pipelined sender folded flush reports (TsNs 0 reads as far behind)
  into batch Events tails, where the aggregator's nil-notification guard
  dropped them - a busy backlog replay could starve the flush watermark
  until the settled-horizon escape opened a loss window. Control messages
  are now unbatchable on the sender, and the receiver also reads watermark
  state off nested batch entries as belt and braces.

- A give-up skip's cursor was not anchored, so the next eviction rewind
  undid the counted decision and re-entered the same park forever when the
  evicted window carried bumped timestamps. The anchor now follows give-up
  skips; an anchored cursor makes the rewind a no-op and keeps the gap
  machinery's re-arm onto the retained window reachable.

- Regenerated-file churn from a different protoc-gen-go-vtproto version is
  dropped: the vtproto file is upstream's, plus only the flushed_ts_ns
  marshal/size/unmarshal cases in the same generator style.

New tests pin the in-flight floor, the no-resurrection rule for removed
peers, and that control messages are never nested in batches.

* fix(filer): keep a removed peer's watermarks through a grace period

Deleting a peer's watermark entries the moment the master removes it
reopened the loss the watermarks exist to prevent: a filer frozen or
partitioned long enough to miss master heartbeats is removed from the
cluster, its unflushed events still exist, and with its entries gone the
low-watermarks snap forward to the healthy peers - subscribers advance
past the absent peer's window and its late-landing log files are silently
skipped. Reproduced on a 3-filer cluster: freezing two filers for ~70s got
them removed ~28s in, and a catching-up subscriber lost their entire
overlapping window.

Removal now only marks the peer; its watermarks keep participating in the
low-watermarks for a grace period (2 x LogFlushInterval, matching the
subscribe loops' settled horizon, which already bounds a stale watermark's
influence meanwhile). A re-added peer clears the mark and continues its
values monotonically - the flap case costs nothing. A peer that stays gone
is dropped when the grace expires, so a decommission cannot pin the
low-watermarks, and a dropped peer's straggling signals cannot resurrect
its entry.

* fix(filer): cap delivery heartbeats by the in-flight floor; harden stamps

Second review pass on the watermark bounds:

- Idle heartbeats on the local stream claimed delivery-completeness
  through "now" while an event could still sit stamped-but-unappended
  behind blocking notification work. A peer aggregator turns that claim
  into its delivery low-watermark, so it could advance (and anchor
  credits with it) past an event that had not been streamed yet. The
  heartbeat timestamp is now capped just below the oldest in-flight
  stamp, like the flush claim already was.

- In-flight stamps are forced monotonic against the registry's own
  history, so a wall-clock step backwards cannot slip a new stamp under
  an already-sampled floor. The cross-goroutine ordering still shares
  the meta log's global forward-clock assumption; the comments now say
  so instead of overclaiming.

- Duplicate removal notifications no longer refresh a removed peer's
  grace deadline: the first removal time wins, so a decommissioned peer
  cannot sit in the watermark sets forever on repeated updates.

- A failed buffer append clears the event's in-flight stamp on purpose:
  the event is dropped from the change stream entirely (a pre-existing
  defect of the append path, loudly logged), and a watermark waiting for
  it would pin this filer's claims forever. The comments now state the
  decision instead of implying the failure cannot happen.

* docs(filer): tighten the watermark comments

Comment-only: compress the narrative comments added on this branch down
to their load-bearing invariants, and fix one stale sentence (peer
removal no longer deletes the watermark entries immediately). No code
changes.

* fix(filer): subscribe to the local filer before remote peers

Self's events reach the aggregated buffer only through the aggregator's
own subscription to it, but bootstrap only seeded the peers the master
already listed - and self's master registration races that listing, so
the watermark set could hold remote peers without self. Once the remotes
signalled, the low-watermarks would claim completeness for a stream that
was still missing a merge source, letting aggregated subscribers advance
past the local filer's events before its subscription started.

Seed self first, unconditionally: before that the watermark set is empty
(a documented safe state - reads hold at the settled horizon), and after
it the set can never be remotes-only. The later master update for self,
or a duplicate in the listed peers, is a no-op via the already-followed
check in OnPeerUpdate.

* fix(filer): fence watermark claims against wall-clock regression

Record issued heartbeat/flush claims in the in-flight registry and stamp
later events above them, so a backward clock step cannot land an event
under a watermark a peer has already advanced to.

* fix(filer): re-check the buffer head after fencing heartbeat claims

An event appended between the caught-up check and the delivery claim
was covered by the claim but not yet sent on the stream. The claims
fence later stamps, so re-checking the head after them proves every
covered event was already sent before the heartbeat.

* fix(filer): cross the aggregated ring's pre-subscription range only on proof

The eviction gate and the gap proofs read "nothing evicted yet" as "memory
holds everything after the cursor". That is false for the merge-fed
aggregated ring, which is born empty while every peer's history sits on
disk: before the ring's first real eviction, a subscriber whose cursor was
still below the bounded chunk pass's listing stop was served the ring's
earliest entry inclusively, silently skipping the withheld pre-restart
files - and the idle-wait callback credited the delivery low-watermark to
the disk anchor in the same disconnected state.

Mark everything at or below the subscriptions' start as evicted when the
aggregator is built, credit the anchor only once the run is connected to
the ring, and give the aggregated gap pass a real proof to cross the
marked boundary with: each disk pass's proven coverage (the peer flush
low-watermark capped by the pass's listing bound). An empty pass whose
proof reaches the eviction watermark crosses to it silently - no park, no
loss counter - so the mark costs a bounded catch-up delay instead of the
15-minute give-up.

* fix(filer): keep shipped chunk tails at or below the hold point

A log file spans past its named minute (window start plus up to a flush
interval), and chunk-mode clients apply a shipped file whole - so a file
tail past the hold point can become a persisted client checkpoint beyond
what every peer has proven, and a crash inside that window resumes past
another peer's late-but-in-contract flush. Stop the ref listing a minute
plus a flush interval below the hold; the withheld band is served by the
memory pass (ring retention far exceeds it) or by later passes as the
hold advances, so freshness is unchanged. A frozen peer flushing one
window that spans its whole freeze can still overshoot; that residual is
bounded by the freeze and needs a crash inside it.

* docs(filer): trim the review-fix comments

813a4b0711 fix(filer): stop skipping recent unflushed events on metadata subscription gaps (#10501)
* fix(filer): don't skip unflushed events on metadata subscription gaps

A subscriber that falls behind the in-memory log ring during a write
burst could have its read position jumped past events that were evicted
but not yet flushed to disk — silently lost for filer.backup/filer.sync/
mount subscribers. Route all three gap-skip sites through
resolveDiskGapResume: only skip past windows older than a settled
horizon (2*LogFlushInterval); recent gaps wait for the flush and
re-read disk.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(filer): harden metadata gap-skip guard

Address review findings on the settled-horizon guard:

- local subscriptions: gate the skip on the buffer's flush watermark
  observed before the disk read (resolveLocalGapResume) — a disk miss
  is then proof the gap is empty, with no wall-clock assumptions
- aggregated subscriptions: cap skips strictly below the horizon
  boundary (persisted reads exclude ts <= cursor) and pace capped
  advances, so the sliding horizon cannot cause disk-probe spinning
- replace unbounded sync.Cond waits with a bounded select on the
  buffer's subscriber channel + retry timer + ctx cancellation,
  eliminating the lost-wakeup stall

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(filer): close remaining gap-skip loss paths from re-review

- log_buffer: a sentinel-offset (time-based) read below the earliest
  in-memory entry silently started at earliest, skipping a window that
  may hold evicted-but-unflushed events. Track the ring's eviction
  watermark (lastEvictedTsNs) and keep the inclusive fast path only
  when nothing at/after the position was ever evicted; otherwise
  return ResumeFromDiskError so the subscription gap guard decides.
- capped horizon advances stay on the disk-probe path (never expose a
  mid-gap position to the memory read) and keep pacing
- gap jumps land just below earliest: positions are exclusive, so the
  earliest entry itself is still delivered
- subscriber notification keys include clientId/epoch so a replacement
  stream never inherits a channel the old stream's cleanup closes

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(log_buffer): generalize the eviction-watermark read gate

Third-review findings:

- epoch/zero-time reads bypassed the eviction watermark: gate them the
  same way, so a SinceNs=0 subscriber cannot silently start at the
  earliest retained entry after an unflushed window was evicted
- apply the watermark gate regardless of the cursor's batch offset
  (batch offsets carry no meaning for time-based reads); this also
  serves adjacent cursors (earliest == current+1) from memory instead
  of stalling them in the gap loop
- LoopProcessLogData reader names include clientId/epoch, since they
  are registered as subscriber keys internally (same collision as the
  outer notification keys)
- test: pin the gate (below/at watermark, epoch-after-eviction) and
  update the slow-consumer test to the sharper contract — complete
  in-memory history is served from memory; disk only once evicted

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(log_buffer): watermark equality is unsafe for inclusive sentinel cursors

Sentinel (Offset <= 0) time-based cursors search from ts-1ns, i.e. they
read inclusively of their own timestamp — and the evicted window may end
exactly at that timestamp. Allow watermark equality only for exclusive
(positive-offset) cursors; sentinel cursors must be strictly above it.
Also shut down the test buffer and pin the equality cases.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(filer): wait on an empty aggregated buffer instead of falling through

When a disk read finds nothing for a ResumeFromDiskError gap and the
aggregated buffer has no readable entries (zero earliest time),
resolveDiskGapResume declines to advance and control fell through to the
in-memory read — which returns ResumeFromDiskError again immediately,
spinning through the probe cycle without any wait. Fold the case into
the existing recent-gap branch so it waits (notification, cancellation,
or the retry interval) before re-probing, matching the local
subscription path, which already waits unconditionally.

* fix(filer): serve the exact eviction-boundary entry without another flush wait

When the flush watermark has passed the earliest in-memory entry but that
entry sits exactly one nanosecond above the cursor, the exclusive resume
target collapses onto the cursor and resolveLocalGapResume declines to
advance — while a sentinel cursor at the eviction watermark keeps
deferring the in-memory read to disk. Progress then depends on the next
flush cycle. Re-arm the cursor with a positive (exclusive) offset instead:
ReadFromBuffer explicitly allows positive-offset cursors at the watermark,
so the boundary entry is served from memory immediately.

Also promote the aggregated path's horizon-capped gap skip to a warning:
that skip may pass events a stalled flush lands later (the aggregated
ring has no flush watermark to gate on), so operators should see when a
flush stall outlasts the settled horizon.

* fix(filer): resume a gap skip with an exclusive cursor

The resume position landed one nanosecond below the earliest in-memory
entry but kept the inclusive sentinel offset. When that timestamp is also
the eviction watermark, the read gate answers ResumeFromDiskError for an
inclusive cursor, the disk read finds nothing, and the resume target
collapses onto the cursor, so neither helper can advance: the subscriber
parks on timed waits forever.

A skip is only taken once the gap is proven empty, so nothing remains to
deliver at the resume timestamp. Resume exclusively instead, and let an
inclusive cursor already sitting on the target count as progress.

* fix(filer): gate aggregated gap skips on eviction, not wall clock

Wall-clock age never proved persistence. The aggregated ring has no flush
watermark because peers persist their own local logs, so a horizon of
2 * LogFlushInterval was standing in for one. While the disk stayed empty
the horizon kept sliding forward and walked the cursor past
evicted-but-unflushed events one window at a time - the volume-outage
stall this change set exists to survive.

The ring does carry a real proof: its eviction watermark. If nothing at or
after the cursor was ever dropped, memory still holds every entry after it
and the gap is provably empty. Below the watermark entries were dropped
and only the producing peer's flush can supply them, so wait for that
flush instead of advancing. The skip that remains is the one the ring can
prove, which keeps the infinite-loop guard for a genuinely empty gap.

* perf(filer): stop re-probing disk on every metadata append

A subscriber parked on a gap woke on the log buffer's subscriber channel,
which fires on every append. On the aggregated path each wake re-ran a
full ReadPersistedLogBuffer - a ListDirectoryEntries plus a readahead
goroutine - so one parked subscriber turned every cluster-wide metadata
event into a store query, exactly while the cluster is already struggling
with the flush stall that parked it. An append also cannot settle the gap:
what this waits on is a peer persisting its own log, which nothing local
signals. Wait on the timer alone there.

The local buffer does signal its flush on that channel, so keep it, but
drain the stale token first: otherwise the appends riding the same channel
spin the wait at write rate. The retry interval covers the notification
the drain discards.

* fix(filer): surface a metadata subscriber parked on a gap

Refusing to skip an unresolved gap trades silent loss for a silent stall,
and a stall is no easier to diagnose: filer.sync and mount followers just
stop advancing, with no error on either end. The only trace was a V(3)
line nobody runs with.

Warn on entry and once a minute after, and carry a subscribe_gap_stalled
gauge for the duration, so a flush that never lands shows up as a stalled
subscriber rather than a consumer that mysteriously went quiet.

* refactor(filer): drop the metadata listener cond with no waiters left

Both listenersCond.Wait() sites are gone, so listenersWaits never leaves
zero, the guard in the filer's notify callback never fires, and the two
Broadcast calls around client registration wake nobody. Remove the cond,
its counter and its lock, and pass a nil notify func: the log buffer
already skips a nil one, and the subscriber channels carry these wakeups
now.

* test(log_buffer): drive the eviction watermark through a real seal

Both eviction tests wrote lastEvictedTsNs directly, leaving the one line
that sets it uncovered: copyToFlushInternal has to read slot 0 before
SealBuffer shifts it out, and moving that read one statement later still
passed every test. Append past the ring instead, and check the watermark
appears only on the seal that drops a window, matches that window's stop,
and then advances. The buffer under test never flushes, matching the
aggregated meta ring where the watermark is the only emptiness proof.

* refactor(filer): build the subscriber reader name once per stream

It was rebuilt on every loop iteration from values that cannot change for
the life of the stream. Hoist it next to the notification key it mirrors.

* docs(filer): tighten the gap-handling comments

Several ran to eight lines restating the same reasoning at each site.
Keep the non-obvious why, drop the retelling.

* fix(filer): mark a confirmed disk position as an exclusive cursor

A disk read returns the timestamp of the last entry it handed to the
subscriber, but the cursor built from it stayed inclusive. Land that
cursor exactly on the eviction watermark and the read gate sends it back
to disk for an entry the disk just delivered; the re-read finds nothing,
neither emptiness proof holds for an inclusive cursor there, and the
subscriber parks - until some later flush, or forever while one stays
stalled. Everything after the watermark was sitting in memory the whole
time.

Carry the offset instead, so it also covers the ring evicting onto the
cursor after the read rather than before it. The constant is no longer
gap-specific, so it is now named for what it asserts.

* perf(filer): re-park a gap wait woken by an ordinary append

Draining one stale token did not bound anything: the subscriber channel
carries an append per metadata write, so under continuous writes the next
one satisfies the wait immediately. During the write burst these stalls
come from, each parked subscriber ran the recovery loop at write rate
rather than the intended two-second cadence.

Only a flush can settle a gap, so check the flush watermark on wake-up and
go back to waiting if an append is all that arrived. The retry timer is
created once, so re-parking does not extend the interval.

* fix(filer): keep a disk-derived cursor inclusive

Marking every disk position exclusive assumed the entry at that timestamp
was the only one there. On the aggregated stream it is not: disk can
deliver one filer's persisted event at T while another filer's event at
the same T is still unflushed in the aggregate ring. The exclusive cursor
skipped it, and since the persisted reader also excludes ts <= its start,
nothing would ever bring it back.

Take the weaker guarantee instead. The reason the exclusive cursor was
introduced - an inclusive one landing on the eviction watermark parks
forever - is better answered in the resolvers: at the watermark memory
holds nothing (retained windows start strictly after it) and the persisted
reader cannot return that entry at any later time either, so refusing the
gap buys nothing and never ends. Skip it whatever the cursor's
inclusivity. That proof does not depend on a flush, so the local resolver
takes it as a second, independent disjunct alongside its flush watermark.

* perf(filer): wake a parked gap wait on flushes only

Re-parking on an append bounded the work but not the wake-ups: the
subscriber channel carries one per metadata write, so a parked subscriber
still took a scheduling round-trip per write. Worse, draining it kept the
channel empty, so every writer's non-blocking notify succeeded instead of
falling through - the burst paid for the wake-ups too.

Give the log buffer a flush-only subscriber list, notified from loopFlush,
and park on that. The append channel now fills once and stays full, which
is exactly the state the non-blocking send is designed for.

* fix(filer): stop the gap-stall gauge from leaking a series per connection

clientName is req.ClientName + "@" + peer address, so it carries the
client's ephemeral source port and changes on every reconnect. Labelling
the gauge with it minted a new series per connection, and clearing it only
ever Set(0), so nothing was ever released - a client in a reconnect loop
grows the filer's metric map and /metrics payload without bound. Key it on
the stable client-supplied name, as the neighbouring subscribe gauge
already does, and delete the series on teardown.

Two logging fixes ride along, both in the same reporter: the resume
warning was unpaced while the park warning throttles to one a minute, so a
burst that parks and resumes every couple of seconds warned on every
cycle; and clear() doubled as the teardown path, announcing "resumed
after 14m0s parked" for a client that actually gave up and disconnected
still behind.

* fix(filer): give a parked gap wait the exits the read loop has

A park never re-enters the read loop, so every exit that loop relies on
stopped working while a subscriber was parked. It kept scanning the filer
store every 2s for a client that a higher-epoch reconnect had already
superseded, until the TCP connection finally died - hours, on a half-open
one. It never reached the only code that honors UntilNs, so bounded
callers like `weed shell fs.verify` and `filer.meta.tail -until=` hung
instead of exiting. And a notification channel closed out from under it
turned the bounded wait into a spin, since a receive on a closed channel
returns instantly.

Check all three where the subscriber actually waits. Bound the wait too:
waiting is productive while the window is still queued for flush, but a
peer that never returns, or whose filer store this filer cannot read at
all, makes it permanent - and a subscriber that silently stops delivering
is no better than one that silently skips. Fail the stream after that
instead of hanging, loudly enough to say which gap and for how long.

* fix(log_buffer): keep the eviction gate out of the shared read path

The gate belonged to the filer's subscribe loops but was installed in
ReadFromBuffer, which the message queue shares and which has no gap
handling of its own. Three MQ paths broke on it: GetUnflushedMessages
asks for everything in memory past the flush watermark and got
ResumeFromDiskError instead, so SQL results silently dropped unflushed
rows; a RESET_TO_EARLIEST consumer's epoch cursor was sent to disk, and
the MQ disk reader resets an empty read back to epoch, so the whole
partition replayed on every pass; and a disk cursor landing on the
watermark carried offset -2, which the gate refused and the disk reader's
ts <= start filter also skips, so neither side could ever serve it. The
rewrite also dropped the old Offset <= 0 requirement, letting a stale
positive-offset cursor jump to memory over on-disk history, and refused
any negative-timestamp cursor even with nothing evicted.

Restore the read path exactly as it was and keep only lastEvictedTsNs,
which is the useful primitive. The filer loops now consult the watermark
themselves before reading memory, which is where the gap handling that
makes the refusal actionable already lives - and they check it every pass,
not just when the disk came up empty, since a disk read can leave the
cursor short of the watermark too.

* fix(filer): read the log file whose window spans past its own name

A log file is named for the start of the window it holds, but a window
runs up to a flush interval longer, so "12-30" can hold entries through
12:31:58. File selection compared the cursor's minute against that name
and skipped anything sorting earlier, so a subscriber resuming at 12:31:10
never saw the rest of that file: the read reported nothing on disk while
the entries sat in it.

That was survivable when a miss only meant "wait and retry", but the gap
resolvers now read a miss as proof the range is empty and move the cursor
past it, which turns those entries into silent loss. Start the file scan a
flush interval early; entries are still filtered against the exact cursor,
so this only opens one more file and never re-delivers.

* fix(filer): resume a gap with a cursor the memory read will serve

Reverting the eviction gate put ReadFromBuffer back to refusing every
positive-offset cursor below the in-memory window, but the resolvers still
handed back one - earliest-1 marked exclusive. So the resume bounced
straight to ResumeFromDiskError, the disk had nothing, and the resolver
saw its own cursor as no progress and parked: a subscriber stalled, and
after the new bound failed outright, with the whole gap sitting in the
ring the entire time.

The exclusive marking only existed to dodge a park the gate itself caused,
and the gate is gone. Resume at earliest with the sentinel offset, which
is the position master used and which case 2.1 reads inclusively. That
makes the resume unconditionally ahead of the cursor, so the progress
check it needed goes away with it.

* fix(filer): stop dropping a log file whose window outruns its name

Listing the earlier file was not enough: the iterator then decided whether
to read it by comparing the *following* file's name against the cursor,
which treats that name as an upper bound on this file's contents. It is
not one. A file is named for the start of the window it holds,
minute-truncated, and the window runs up to a flush interval longer, so
"12-30" can hold an event at 12:31:20 while "12-31" sits right after it -
and a cursor at 12:31:10 skipped straight past the event.

Bound the decision on the file itself: skip it only when its name plus the
minute truncation plus a flush interval still lands at or before the
cursor. That also covers the last file in the queue, which the old check
never skipped because it had no successor to compare against.

* fix(filer): stop a chunk-ref read from rewinding the subscriber

CollectLogFileRefs reports the minute-level name of the last file it
shipped, and the caller assigns that straight to the read position. Since
the scan now reaches back a flush interval to catch a spanning file, a
request at 12:31:10 that picks up the 12-30 ref moved the cursor to
12:30:00 - so the memory read that followed replayed events older than the
client's own SinceNs and re-sent what the chunk reader had already been
handed. The same rewind was reachable before, within a minute, whenever
the last file's name sorted behind the request.

Clamp the reported position to the one that was asked for. It still
under-advances by design, since the server never reads the entries it
ships refs for and cannot know where they end.

* fix(filer): resume below earliest so a one-entry window is not skipped

Moving the resume onto earliest itself was wrong for the smallest window
there is. A sealed window holding a single entry has startTime ==
stopTime, and the sealed-buffer lookup only enters a window whose stopTime
is strictly after the cursor, so a cursor sitting exactly on earliest
walks past it and its sole event is never delivered. Low-volume metadata
windows are routinely one entry, which is precisely when losing it is
hardest to notice.

Go back to one nanosecond below, which takes the startTime.After branch
and returns the whole window, and keep the sentinel offset the memory read
requires. The earlier test used an active multi-entry buffer, where both
cursors happen to work; the new one seals single-entry windows and
compares which entry comes back.

* fix(filer): count a persisted read as progress only when it moves

A chunk-ref read reports the minute-level name of the last file it
shipped, now clamped so it never rewinds, so it comes back non-zero even
when it names the position the subscriber already held. The loops read
non-zero as progress: they cleared the stall timer, then found the cursor
still short of the eviction watermark and parked again. Every retry
re-shipped the same refs and reset the timer, so the bound that is
supposed to end an unrecoverable stall was never reached - and a
chunk-capable client buffers those refs waiting for an event that never
comes, so it just accumulates duplicates.

Require the reported position to be strictly ahead of the cursor.

* fix(filer): count the evicted ranges the aggregated stream cannot prove

The eviction watermark belongs to the merged ring, but the disk it gets
checked against is the union of every peer's own log and each peer flushes
on its own schedule. A read that lifts the cursor from below the watermark
to above it may have done so entirely on a peer that is already ahead,
while a lagging peer still holds unflushed events inside the range just
crossed; when it flushes them they sit behind the cursor and are never
delivered. One aggregate maximum is not proof that every peer persisted
the range.

Nothing available locally separates that from the ordinary case where
every peer had in fact persisted it: the aggregator tracks peers by
address while log files carry a random per-filer id, so "has this peer
flushed through T" cannot be answered here at all. Deciding it needs the
source filer's own flush watermark carried on the subscribe stream, which
is a wire change this does not make. Count and log the crossing so the
window is at least measurable instead of invisible.

* fix(filer): send log file refs through the pipelined sender

sendLogFileRefs wrote on the raw gRPC stream while pipelinedSender's
goroutine concurrently calls Send for queued memory events - two senders
on one stream, which gRPC forbids. The window used to open once per
fall-behind; the gap retry loop now reopens it every pass. Routing refs
through the sender also restores ordering: refs used to overtake up to
1024 queued events, and the client treats any non-ref message as the
signal to process buffered refs, so overtaken refs were applied against
the wrong position.

The reason refs bypassed the sender was the batcher: their TsNs of 0
reads as far behind, and the client recognizes refs by the top-level
field alone - a refs envelope would drop its Events tail, and refs inside
Events would be applied as an empty event. Teach the batcher instead:
refs messages always go solo, and one drained mid-batch is sent solo
right after that batch.

* fix(filer): count parked subscribers instead of flagging them by name

The per-client gauge series could not work. Its label was rebuilt from the
peer address at first, which leaks a series per reconnect; keyed on the
client-supplied name instead, it collides - every mount registers as
"mount" - so one stream's teardown deleted a parked sibling's live series,
and the sibling never re-created it because its own park state said the
gauge was already set. Either way the alert this gauge exists to drive
goes dark.

A count needs no identity: Inc on park, Dec on resume or teardown, scope
as the only label. Client details stay in the logs.

Also start warning only once a stall has outlived the warn interval.
park() warned immediately on every first park, so catch-up churn that
parks and resumes every couple of seconds logged a warning pair per cycle
- exactly the flood the pacing was supposed to prevent, burying the
long-stall warnings that matter.

* fix(filer): one gap resolver, and re-arm an unservable adjacent cursor

The two resolvers were the same function - the aggregated one is the
local one with a flush watermark of zero, since its ring never flushes -
duplicated down to the comment justifying the resume target. A fix
applied to one and not the other is how the two streams drift; merge
them.

The merge carries the one behavioral fix both copies needed. Timestamp
collision bumps make adjacent entries exactly 1ns apart, so an entry
ending an evicted window leaves the cursor exactly one below earliest
with a positive batch offset. The resume target then equals the cursor
and both copies refused it as no progress - but that cursor cannot be
served (ReadFromBuffer refuses positive offsets below the window) while
the sentinel resume at the same timestamp is, and both deliver exactly
the entries after it. Refusing parked a subscriber whose data was
entirely in memory: until the next flush locally, and through a
15-minute stall failure on the aggregated path. Advance on equal target
when the held cursor is exclusive; a sentinel there is already served,
so it still refuses.

* fix(filer): a bounded subscription parked exactly on UntilNs is finished

The park's UntilNs check was strict while the bound is inclusive and
cursors are exclusive: a disk read whose last entry sits exactly on
UntilNs leaves the cursor there with everything up to the bound already
delivered. If the next range was an unprovable gap, the completed
subscription parked anyway and eventually failed - fs.verify hanging and
then erroring on a healthy cluster.

* fix(filer): re-derive the subscribe loops as one state machine

The loops had grown three generations of gap handling - a post-disk-read
branch, a post-memory-read branch, and an every-pass guard bolted on in
front of the memory read - each consulting state the others mutated. The
worst interaction wedged the aggregated stream permanently: diskExhausted
compared the disk result against the cursor that result had just updated,
and paired it with a ResumeFromDiskError latch that only a resolver
advance cleared, so one fall-behind sent every later pass into the gap
block and LoopProcessLogData never ran again. Mounts kept a
healthy-looking stream and applied nothing.

Both loops now run the same derived sequence. One disk pass; progress is
the pre-update cursor against the result, freshly each pass. One gap
decision before the memory read: a cursor the ring evicted past either
keeps draining the disk (it just advanced), resolves forward (the gap is
proven empty), or parks - and a cursor memory refused with nothing
evicted after it re-arms onto the retained window. The stale-latch branch
is gone: the error is only consulted on a pass whose own disk read came
up empty. All four parks go through one parkOnGap helper, so the exits
live in one place. The eviction watermark is read after the disk read and
the same value feeds both the guard and the unproven-crossing report,
which previously compared against a snapshot taken before a potentially
minutes-long backlog read and missed evictions landing during it. The
next-day jump now clears the stall reporter - it used to leave a stale
park epoch that could kill the next brief park instantly at the 15-minute
bound - and counts its own watermark crossing.

Chunk-ref reads get two rules the old loops lacked. Refs are sent once
per position: retries re-sent identical batches every two seconds into a
client that only drains them on a non-ref message, growing an unbounded
pending list. And when refs cannot advance the cursor - they report file
start minutes, which sit below the content the client was actually given,
pinning the cursor under the watermark forever during bursts - the pass
falls through to entry reads, which move the cursor by real timestamps
and double as the client's drain signal.

* fix(filer): give up on an unprovable gap instead of failing the stream

Failing after maxGapStall assumed the client could do something better,
but every consumer just reconnects at the same SinceNs and hits the same
wall, so an unprovable gap - a dead peer, or a peer whose filer store
this filer cannot read at all - turned into a permanent 15-minute
fail/reconnect loop delivering nothing. Master handled the same state by
skipping instantly and silently.

Take the middle: wait the full bound, then abandon the gap and resume at
the eviction watermark, where everything retained starts strictly after,
so the loss is exactly the range that could not be proven. The skip
shares the unproven-crossing counter and logs at error level - loss is
bounded, recorded, and the stream keeps working. A stall with nothing
evicted past the cursor loses nothing by waiting, so it restarts the
clock and keeps parking rather than skipping.

* test(filer): pin the file-skip bound through the production predicate

The spanning-file test asserted against its own copy of the arithmetic,
so a regression in the iterator - restoring the next-file-name comparison
or dropping the flush-interval term - would keep CI green while
re-introducing the silent loss the fix closed. Extract the bound into
logFileMayContainAfter, call it from the iterator, and point the test at
it; breaking the production expression now fails the test.

* test(log_buffer): pin the flush-subscriber contract

The registry the filer's gap parks wait on had no test at all. Cover the
observable contract: an append never wakes a flush subscriber, a flush
does with the watermark already stored, unregistering closes the channel
so an abandoned waiter unblocks, and double or unknown unregisters are
harmless.

The store-before-notify ordering in loopFlush is what makes the parks'
wake-up re-check sound, and it is not black-box testable - reordering
leaves a same-goroutine window of nanoseconds that hundreds of tight
round-trips never catch. Mark it load-bearing at the site instead; a
reorder now at least has to argue with the comment it deletes.

* fix(filer): a -1 SinceNs is a position, not the refs-gate sentinel

The once-per-position refs gate used -1 as "never sent", but a client may
legally subscribe with SinceNs=-1, whose cursor timestamp is exactly -1:
the very first pass then believed refs were already sent there and fell
back to streaming the whole persisted history entry by entry - the
bootstrap load chunks mode exists to avoid. Use MinInt64, which no cursor
can carry.

* refactor(filer): drop the aggregator's listener cond with no waiters left

Same shape as the FilerServer cond already removed: nothing increments
ListenersWaits and nothing ever calls Wait, so the three Broadcasts wake
nobody and the notify callback's guard is always false. Aggregated
subscribers wake through the buffer's subscriber channels now.

* fix(filer): make the gap metrics say what they count

The crossing counter's help text described only the aggregated peer case,
but give-ups increment it for local stalls too - a wedged local flush -
which sends an operator chasing peer replication when the problem is the
local store. Label it by scope and say both. The stalled gauge counted
every park, including waits with nothing evicted and nothing at risk,
while its help text promised evicted-but-unpersisted events; describe it
as what it is, a count of subscribers parked on a gap.

* test(filer): make the flush and stall tests assert what they claim

The flush-subscriber rounds were vacuous: the probe entry sat above the
round timestamps, so every round entry was collision-bumped and the
stored watermark exceeded the local value each assertion compared
against - the same bump mistake this test suite already made once. Put
the probe below the rounds and guard each round against bumping, so a
vacuous setup fails instead of passing.

The stall-outcome test wrote the reporter's park epoch directly,
bypassing the gauge Inc that gaveUp() later Decs - leaving the shared
process gauge at -1 for every test that runs after it. Park through the
real path, age the park by hand, release what the test holds, and assert
the gauge lands back where it started.

* fix(filer): finish the stream checks before marking it parked

parkOnGap stamped the reporter before waitOnGap ran its instant done
exits, so a bounded subscription completing inside a gap state was marked
parked for the microsecond before done fired - a phantom gauge blip and a
false "disconnected still behind" warning on every healthy completion.
Fold waitOnGap into parkOnGap so the done exits run first and the park
mark only ever covers a stream that actually waits.

While the park owns its timer, back the retry off as the stall ages -
2s probes growing toward one a minute - since every retry re-reads the
persisted log, and probing the store each 2s for 15 minutes per parked
subscriber during the very outage that parked them makes the bad time
worse. The subtest still named for the old fail-the-stream stall
behavior goes with the merge.

* fix(log_buffer): gate filer cursors against eviction under the read lock

The subscribe loops checked the eviction watermark and then read memory,
but a seal can land between the two: the read then served a sentinel
cursor from the earliest retained window, silently skipping the window
just evicted - the loss class this PR exists to make loud, surviving as
a race.

The only place the check is atomic with the serve decision is inside
ReadFromBuffer, under the lock seals take to evict. Rather than put the
policy back into the shared read path - which broke four message-queue
readers last time - add a new sentinel offset that opts into it:
EvictionGatedOffset reads inclusively exactly like -2, except below the
watermark it is refused to disk. The filer loops stamp it on every
cursor they hand the memory read; a refusal lands in the same gap
machinery the loop-side check feeds, so the race collapses into the
handled path. MQ cursors never carry it and keep master behavior
byte-for-byte.

* fix(filer): gate the aggregated gap on received, not bumped, timestamps

The aggregated ring rewrites an out-of-order arrival to its head plus a
nanosecond, so after any bump-heavy interval - a peer history replay
following a restart is enough - its eviction watermark lives above every
timestamp that exists on any peer's disk. Comparing a disk cursor against
it parked subscribers that had in fact drained every peer's log: a
15-minute delivery freeze ending in a give-up skip and a false loss
alarm, on a healthy cluster where master resumed instantly.

Track a second watermark in the received timestamp space - the highest
pre-bump timestamp among evicted entries - and gate the aggregated loop
on that. Disk cursors and received timestamps are the same space, so the
comparison means what it says: at or past it, every evicted entry's
original was at or below the cursor, and everything flushed of them was
already delivered. The bumped watermark keeps guarding the in-ring read
gate, whose cursors live in ring space. The local buffer is untouched:
it flushes its own bumped timestamps, so there the two spaces are one.

* fix(filer): ship each log chunk once and stop echoing ref'd files inline

Chunk mode duplicated data through two doors. Consecutive ref
collections overlap by design - the scan backs off a flush interval to
catch a spanning file, and a filer appends chunks to its newest file -
so the same file was shipped again on every pass that re-listed it: the
client re-downloaded its chunks, and a duplicated file mid-batch rewinds
timestamps inside the client's per-filer merge, which reads each stream
as sorted - transiently resurrecting deleted entries during catch-up.
Track per subscription how many chunks of each file were shipped and
send only the unsent suffix; state prunes with the scan window, so it
holds a few files per filer.

The second door was the entry fallback: when refs cannot advance the
minute-named cursor, the pass streamed the ref'd file's tail inline, and
the client applies inline events unfiltered - the same tail it already
applied from chunks. Entry passes for chunk clients now advance the
cursor without delivering; everything they skip is covered by the refs
already sent or the deltas the next collection ships.

* refactor(filer): one gap decision shared by both subscribe loops

The post-disk gap tree - guard, drain, resolve, two parks, the re-arm -
existed twice, differing only in buffer, watermark space, flush getter,
park channels, and reason strings. Four rounds of review fixes have shown
the copies drift the moment one is edited alone. gapPass now carries the
five differences and the tree lives once; the loops shrink to a
three-way switch between reading memory, restarting the pass, and ending
the stream.

* docs(filer): trim the gap-machinery comments to the why

Several blocks had grown to ten-plus lines restating what the tests
already pin or retelling one rationale at multiple sites. Keep the
non-obvious why - the load-bearing flush ordering, the two timestamp
spaces, the refusal-at-equality argument - in a few lines each.

* fix(log_buffer): credit an entry's received timestamp to its own window

The received-ts capture ran before the rollover check, so an append that
sealed the previous window stamped its timestamp onto that window and
then lost it in the reset of the new one. The eviction watermark this
feeds broke both ways: the sealed window's value was inflated by an entry
it does not contain - parking aggregated subscribers on gaps that were
drained - and the entry's real window was deflated, proving gaps empty
that still held its event on some peer's unflushed path. Credit the
timestamp only after the entry lands, when its window is known.

* fix(filer): rebase a shipped chunk suffix to logical offset zero

A grown file's delta kept the chunks' original file offsets, but the
client's chunk reader starts at logical zero and a list opening higher
reads as instant EOF - a successfully empty replay, and since chunk
clients no longer receive disk entries inline, the appended events were
silently dropped. Clone the suffix chunks with offsets rebased to zero;
the cut is record-aligned because each append is one uploaded chunk of
whole entries, so the suffix decodes as a file of its own.

* fix(filer): finish every chunk refs batch with a transition the client acts on

Both chunk consumers buffer refs until a non-ref message arrives, so a
source with historical logs and a quiet ring - a mount reconnecting
after a filer restart is the common case - shipped its backlog and then
went silent: the client sat on the refs until the next metadata mutation
anywhere in the cluster. The disk step now ends every batch with the
empty-notification marker the client already treats as a resume-cursor
advance.

The same step closes the inline replay: the cursor used to stay at the
last file's minute name, so the memory read re-delivered the retained
tail of a file the client had just read via chunks - T1..Tn applied
twice. The advance-only entry read now runs on every chunk pass, moving
the cursor to the true disk content end before memory is consulted.

Ordering inside the pass is load-bearing: the entry read can outrun the
shipped refs by a chunk appended between collection and read, and the
transition timestamp becomes the client's refs filter - stamping it past
unshipped content would silently drop that chunk's events on the next
delta. The pass therefore re-ships the delta after the entry read, so
the transition never exceeds shipped content. Bump-displaced aggregated
entries can still arrive inline above the cursor with originals below
it; that duplication is bounded and stays within the documented
at-least-once residual.

* fix(filer): prune ref state at the minute the scan actually stops at

The collector compares file names at minute granularity while the prune
used the exact-nanosecond scan bound, so for a cursor at 12:31:20 the
12-30 file was still collected but its sent state was already deleted -
the next pass reshipped the whole file, re-creating the duplicate-refs
class the state exists to prevent. Truncate the bound to the minute the
file names live in.

* fix(filer): derive the chunk cursor from the shipped refs themselves

The advance-only entry read left the three positions that must agree in
each other's blind spots. Its snapshot could trail the second delta's, so
a chunk appended between them shipped events newer than the cursor and
the memory pass sent them again. And it made the filer decode the tail
range on every pass, serialized ahead of the client's own reads by the
transition marker - re-introducing a slice of the replay work chunk mode
exists to offload.

Compute the cursor from the shipped set instead: the final entry
timestamp of each filer's last shipped chunk, decoded once through the
shared chunk cache. Refs coverage, transition marker, and memory start
are then the same number by construction - nothing is decoded twice,
nothing is dropped, and the per-pass server cost falls to one cached
chunk decode per filer. The second delta and the once-per-position refs
gate existed to patch the entry read's snapshot races, so both go with
it; the range read survives only as a fallback for legacy chunks that do
not decode standalone.

* fix(filer): keep the chunk-cursor probe inside the shipped snapshot

Three holes in the tail probe, all variations of stepping outside what
was shipped. A permanently missing chunk failed the stream before the
transition marker, so the client discarded its pending refs and
reconnected to the same failure forever - blocking all later metadata
behind one dead volume, where every other replay path (including the
client's own reader) skips such chunks; the probe now walks back to the
last readable chunk, and a filer with nothing readable simply contributes
no cursor. The legacy fallback re-listed the logs after the refs were
collected, so a concurrent append could push the range end over an
unshipped chunk and the marker past events the client never received; it
now streams the shipped chunk list itself, so no snapshot other than the
shipped one is ever consulted. And a file selected before UntilNs can
hold entries past it, which the client filters while still adopting the
marker as its checkpoint - a later bounded request then skipped them;
the marker is clamped to the bound.

* fix(filer): make the cursor probe an exact mirror of the client's reader

The probe answered from the server's view of the chunks; the marker's
correctness depends on the client's. Its backward walk found the last
readable chunk, but the client reads forward and stops at the first
unreadable one, never resuming within a file - for readable, missing,
readable the marker claimed the suffix the client never applied, losing
those entries permanently. Keeping only each filer's final file ref
discarded the progress of earlier readable files when that file was
wholly missing, rewinding the marker to the start cursor. And a torn
trailing size prefix - what a crashed writer leaves - failed the probe
where the client reads a clean end, blocking the marker forever on data
the client accepts.

The probe is now shaped like the reader it answers for: per file the
readable prefix, per filer the newest file with content, and no
condition escapes as an error - understating the marker only re-ships,
overstating loses events, and a probe failure must never block the
transition the client is waiting on. Each rule is pinned by a test that
fails against the previous shape.

* fix(filer): judge chunk readability at the volumes, not the decode cache

Two ways the probe's answer could drift from what the client experiences.
A chunk this server decoded earlier stays warm in the shared cache after
its volume dies, so the probe sailed past a chunk the direct-reading
client stops at - marker beyond the unread suffix, entries lost. Every
chunk now passes a volume lookup before the cache is consulted; the
lookup rides the master client's in-memory map, so the probe stays cheap.

And a probe stop was treated as harmless understatement, but the delta
had already marked the whole ref sent: a transient server-side failure
left the cursor stranded behind shipped content for the life of the
connection, parking aggregated streams below the watermark for data the
client already holds. The pass now rolls back the sent state of every
ref above the file that answered the probe, so unreached refs re-ship
and re-probe until the cursor gets there. Re-shipped entries at or below
the client's checkpoint are filtered client-side, and batches are
marker-separated, so a re-shipped file cannot rewind a merge mid-batch.

* test(filer): end-to-end subscribe-loop harness and wire-contract tests

Every escaped bug across this change's review rounds lived in an
interaction the unit tests could not see: the loop state machine, the
disk/memory handoff, or the server/client contract. The harness runs the
real SubscribeLocalMetadata loop against a real leveldb-backed filer,
faking only the volume layer behind the existing test hooks, and asserts
the delivered stream itself.

Eight scenarios, each pinning a class this change was reviewed for: the
headline evicted-unflushed gap parks and then delivers in full; a ring
that evicted nothing serves memory promptly; a backlog-to-live handoff
with 1ms-adjacent timestamps across every boundary delivers exactly
once; a flush-proven gap over vacuumed log files skips to the retained
ring including a single-entry window; a bounded subscription terminates
at its bound; a permanently wedged flush ends in the give-up skip with
the stream still alive; and chunk mode is checked against the real
client code - pb.ReadLogFileRefs applied to the shipped refs must cover
everything the transition marker claims, with and without a dead volume
in the middle.

Validated by re-introducing three fixed bugs: the missing eviction guard
delivers during the unproven gap, a 2ms cursor error at the handoff
drops exactly one event, and resuming at rather than below the earliest
retained window loses a single-entry window's sole event - each caught
by the scenario built for it. The gap timing knobs become vars so parks
run at test speed, a small filer hook swaps the volume-touching read
functions, and a sender test pins the refs wire rules the client
depends on: never batched, never an envelope, everything in order.

* fix(filer): re-ship a partially read answering file, pin the probe's limits

The sent-state rollback stopped at files newer than the one that answered
the probe. When the answering file itself was only prefix-readable - a
dead or transient chunk mid-file - its unread suffix stayed marked sent,
and the next append advanced the cursor past it for good. The probe now
reports whether the answering file was read through to its end, and a
prefix-limited answer re-ships that file too; a torn tail counts as
complete, since the client's read ends there as well. The rollback rules
live in one predicate with a table test - files below a complete answer
stay sent, because the client has moved past them and re-shipping cannot
rewind its filter.

Two test honesty fixes ride along. The loop harness derived its timestamp
base from time.Now() per call, so expectations recomputed across a second
boundary drifted by exactly one second; the base is now fixed per
harness. And the probe's liveness boundary is pinned as a test instead of
a comment: a volume lookup cannot see a dead needle or a stale location
inside a resolvable volume, so a warm cache can answer past a chunk the
client fails on - accepted because metadata log chunks die
volume-at-a-time and the alternative is a real read per probe, which is
what the probe exists to avoid. The test states the boundary so changing
it is a decision, not an accident.

Jaehoon KimandClaude Fable 5 c17aebeecf fix(filer.backup): prevent silent backup data loss on transient not-found (#10295)
* fix(filer.backup): stop silently dropping events on transient not-found

Under a write burst, filer.backup could consume a metadata event (advancing
the persisted offset) without replicating the file, with no error logged:

1. filersink CreateEntry/UpdateEntry swallowed replicateChunks errors
   (glog.Warningf + return nil), so the offset advanced past entries that
   were never written.
2. The manifest-chunk branch of replicateChunks resolved via LookupFileId
   with no retry, unlike the data-chunk branch — transient lookup races
   dropped exactly the large manifest-backed files while small
   inline-content siblings landed.
3. isIgnorable404 matched "LookupFileId" / "volume id ... not found",
   misclassifying those races as genuine source 404s at the backup layer.

Fix: on a replicateChunks failure the filer sink now skips only when the
live source has moved past the replayed version (deleted or strictly-newer
mtime) — lossless, a later event carries the current content — and
propagates otherwise so the event is retried. The manifest resolve retries
transient errors like the data-chunk path. isIgnorable404 is narrowed to
genuine 404s; non-filer sinks and the initial-snapshot walk, which relied
on the broad match as their only lossless-skip valve, now make the same
live-source decision (filersink.SourceSupersedes) instead of retrying
forever on a permanently gone volume.

Tests cover propagation of unconfirmed lookup failures, the narrowed 404
classification, and the supersession guards.

* fix(filer.backup): derive supersession path with directory fallback

eventSourceSuperseded built the source path from NewParentPath alone.
Legacy metadata events (persisted by older filers) carry an empty
NewParentPath, so the probe looked up "/<name>", read the miss as
"source gone", and skipped a live file on a transient lookup error —
the silent drop this change is meant to eliminate.

Derive the path via MetadataEventTargetFullPath (the same directory
fallback genProcessFunction uses) and cover both event shapes with

* fix(filersink): retry manifest resolve only for transient errors, bounded when unverifiable

The manifest-resolve retry stopped only when hasSourceNewerVersion proved
the source moved past the replayed version, which wedged the sink in two
cases: incremental sinks use dated target keys that cannot map back to a
source path (supersession never provable), and permanent resolve errors
(corrupt manifest data, bad file ids) fail forever while the source entry
stays live.

Gate the retry instead: keep retrying only transient errors (volume-lookup
races, network interruptions), stop after a few attempts when supersession
cannot be checked, and propagate everything else immediately so the
configured metadata error policy applies (-disableErrorRetry included).
Propagation is lossless: filer.backup's fallback decides with the event's
real source key, and both filer.backup and filer.sync re-deliver the event
(RetryForeverOnError) without advancing the offset.

* fix(filer.backup): make error classifiers nil-safe

isIgnorable404, isSourceLookupError, and isTransientResolveError called
err.Error() without a nil guard. All current call sites pass a non-nil
error, but the guard is free and matches isRetryableNetworkError.

Jaehoon KimandChris Lu ebeab4b6ec feat(filer.sync.verify): reclassify chunk-slice-order ETag diffs as CHUNK_REORDER (#10177)
* feat(filer.sync.verify): reclassify chunk-slice-order ETag diffs as CHUNK_REORDER

filer.ETagChunks concatenates per-chunk MD5s in stored slice order without
normalising by offset, so byte-identical content written by two different paths
(S3 multipart part-completion order on the source vs filer.backup replication
arrival order on the destination) yields different file ETags. filer.sync.verify
reported these as ETAG_MISMATCH even though the files are equal.

Add a second-pass check on every ETAG_MISMATCH: when both sides derive their ETag
from chunks (no attr.Md5) and hold a manifest-free, non-overlapping chunk set
that, once sorted by offset, matches element-wise on (offset, size, ETag),
classify the file as CHUNK_REORDER. Such files are content-equal, so they are
not counted as errors and do not affect the exit code; they are listed only at
higher verbosity (weed -v=1), while the summary always shows their count.

The check stays conservative: a stored attr.Md5 (order-independent content
hash), a differing chunk count, an overlapping/duplicate offset (whose visible
bytes are resolved by timestamp), or a manifest chunk all remain ETAG_MISMATCH.

* filer.sync.verify: decline chunk-reorder fast path on empty per-chunk ETag

An empty or undecodable per-chunk ETag is not a content fingerprint, so
element-wise (offset, size, ETag) equality can't prove the bytes match.
Treating "" == "" as content-equal could reclassify a genuine divergence as
CHUNK_REORDER and drop it from the error count. Decline such chunk sets so they
stay ETAG_MISMATCH.

* filer.sync.verify: emit CHUNK_REORDER in JSON output regardless of -v

The -v=1 gate belongs to the human text report only. Applying it before the
jsonOutput branch dropped the per-file CHUNK_REORDER records from NDJSON while
the summary still counted them, so a machine consumer saw a non-zero count with
no records to reconcile it. Gate the text path only; JSON always emits.

Jaehoon KimandClaude Opus 4.8 a11d81b21f fix(filer.backup): repair chunk-incomplete and stale destination entries (#10082)
* fix(filer.backup): repair chunk-incomplete and stale destination entries

filer.backup left destinations diverged while metadata advanced — chunk-incomplete
(missing/gapped ranges at full attr.file_size) or holding a chunk superseded by a
missed overwrite. The skip/repair decision keyed on filer.FileSize (the attr),
which a truncated entry keeps full, so it never repaired.

Decide from actual chunk state instead:
- coversReference: range-by-range containment (scalar byte totals and attr
  FileSize/Md5 cannot see chunk-level gaps).
- hasStaleBackupChunk: a backup-written chunk (SourceFileId) the source no longer
  lists; ignores out-of-band (rsync/direct) chunks.
- destinationMatchesReference: allocation-free positional fast path gating the
  above so they run only on divergence (the in-sync path stays cheap).
- A strictly-newer destination is never repaired, so an older out-of-order replay
  cannot roll it back. The stale signal is deferred at equal mtime (same-second
  versions cannot be ordered; reliable S3 sub-second ordering is a separate fix).

Tests in filer_sink_test.go.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* filer.backup: verify chunk range in destinationMatchesReference fast path

The allocation-free fast path matched a destination chunk to its reference
by SourceFileId alone. That is correct today only because replicateOneChunk
copies the source chunk's Offset/Size verbatim, so SourceFileId identity
implies an identical range — an invariant that lives in another file with no
guard linking the two. If replication ever re-chunks (split/coalesce), a
chunk with the right SourceFileId but a different range would fast-path as a
full match and skip a needed repair (a false positive in the very class this
change otherwise prevents).

Compare Offset/Size alongside SourceFileId so the fast path is self-contained
and can only be more conservative (a range mismatch falls through to the
precise coversReference/hasStaleBackupChunk checks). Add tests for a shifted
offset and a larger size at matching identity.

20e4614fc6 feat(mount): attach Content-MD5 to chunk uploads (#10016)
* mount: attach Content-MD5 to chunk uploads

Mount writes never set UploadOption.Md5, so FileChunk.ETag stays empty
and filer.ETag() degenerates to md5("")-N: same-size files compare
equal regardless of content, defeating metadata-level verification
like filer.sync.verify.

Compute each chunk's MD5 and send it as Content-MD5. The volume server
verifies it on ingest (rejecting in-flight corruption) and echoes it
back, persisting FileChunk.ETag like filer/S3 writes already do.

The dirty-page flush paths already pass a *util.BytesReader whose
backing slice is the whole chunk, so the digest is taken in place with
no extra read, copy, or allocation (UploadWithRetry unwraps it the same
way downstream). Only the rarer plain-reader callers (e.g. manifest
chunks) fall back to io.ReadAll. Skipped under -cipher, where only the
ciphertext reaches the server.

The digest encoding (std-base64 of the raw md5) is the contract the
volume server verifies against, so it is factored into contentMD5Base64
and covered by a unit test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* mount: compute chunk Content-MD5 in the uploader, not the caller

Move the WantMd5 hashing into UploadWithRetry, where the chunk is already
buffered for the retry path, so saveDataAsChunk stops type-switching the
reader and re-reading plain readers. One materialization point, and the
cipher exclusion lives next to the hash instead of at every call site.

18868e5204 fix(mount): run entry invalidations off the meta-cache apply loop (#10002)
* fix(mount): run entry invalidations off the meta-cache apply loop

The apply loop ran invalidateFunc inline, which acquires the open file
handle's lock in fhLockTable. Meanwhile flushMetadataToFiler holds that
same fh lock and then waits on the apply loop (applyLocalMetadataEvent).
When both target the same open file concurrently, the loop blocks on the
fh lock while the lock holder blocks on the loop: an ABBA deadlock that
backs up every later readdir/flush and hangs the mount.

Fix: dispatch entry invalidations to a dedicated FIFO worker goroutine so
the apply loop never blocks on locks held by goroutines waiting on it.
Adds a regression test reproducing the interleaving.

Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* perf(mount): update invalidate counter once per batch

Run the batch's invalidateFunc calls without re-taking invalidateMu per
item, then bump invalidateProcessed and broadcast once after the loop.
WaitForEntryInvalidations only needs the count to reach its target and a
batch always completes together, so the per-item lock + broadcast was
wasted work.

Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* mount: extract the invalidate worker into util.AsyncBatchWorker

The apply loop's off-thread entry-invalidation queue was a one-off mutex +
cond + slice + counters living inside MetaCache. Pull it out as a generic
unbounded FIFO worker so the deadlock-avoidance contract (never block the
producer, drain on shutdown, wait-for-quiesce) lives in one place.

Jaehoon KimandChris Lu 202517c02a fix(filer.backup): skip replay events whose source chunk was superseded or deleted (#9886)
* fix(filer.backup): skip replay events whose chunk no longer exists on the source

"Source" is the filer we replicate FROM (e.g. green in a green->blue backup).

Replaying the metadata log from a checkpoint can hit an event whose chunk was
since overwritten/deleted and garbage-collected on the source volume. Fetching
it returns 0 bytes (a permanent size mismatch), which the sink propagated to the
subscription — so the same offset retried forever and replication stalled.

Skip the event only when proven stale; otherwise keep refusing so genuine loss
of a live file still halts loudly:

- onCorruptChunk centralizes the three errChunkSizeMismatch sites.
- getEntryMtimeNs compares mtime at nanosecond precision so same-second rewrites
  (git's config.lock dance) are ordered correctly.
- sourceSupersedes re-reads the entry's current state on the source: gone
  (ErrNotFound) or a strictly-newer mtime than the replayed version -> skip;
  any other lookup error keeps the entry.

Skipping is lossless: events are full-entry snapshots, so a later event
re-carries the current chunks and a delete event reconciles a removed file.

* test(filer.backup): cover the superseded-chunk skip decision

- TestSourceSupersedes: not-found (sentinel / wrapped / gRPC string) and nil
  entry -> skip; network error -> keep; source newer -> skip; same/older -> keep.
- TestGetEntryMtimeNs: nanosecond precision, same-second ordering, nil safety.
- TestOnCorruptChunkRefusesWhenSupersessionUnconfirmed: never skip silently when
  supersession cannot be confirmed.

* fix(filer.backup): don't infer supersession for incremental sinks

In incremental mode the sink key carries a date prefix
(sinkDir/YYYY-MM-DD/relPath) that cannot be reversed to a real source path, so a
source lookup would always be ErrNotFound and wrongly classify a live entry as
deleted — skipping it. Make targetPathToSourcePath report "unmappable" in
incremental mode; hasSourceNewerVersion already declines to skip when the source
path cannot be mapped.

Found in code review. Non-incremental sinks (filer.backup green->blue) are
unaffected.

* refactor(filer.backup): name the mtime param sourceMtimeNs; note ns overflow bound

- Rename the threaded sourceMtime parameter to sourceMtimeNs across the internal
  replicate/fetch helpers so the unit is explicit (it only feeds
  hasSourceNewerVersion, which compares in nanoseconds).
- Document that getEntryMtimeNs's int64 ns arithmetic is safe until ~year 2262.

No behavior change.

* fix(filer.backup): order same-second versions in the CreateEntry skip and update gates

The CreateEntry already-replicated short-circuit and chooseUpdateAction
still compared second-grained mtime, so a newer version written within
the same second could be skipped as already-replicated or overwritten by
an older same-second replay. Route both through getEntryMtimeNs, matching
the precision the chunk-replication path already uses.

* test(filer.backup): cover same-second update-action ordering

* docs(filer.backup): trim verbose comments to terse why

* fix(filer.backup): check supersession against the rename's new path

For a rename the filer sink updates in place (the delete+create branch is
skipped for sink name "filer"), so the corrupt-chunk supersession check
queried the pre-rename key. Its source-side ErrNotFound was read as
"superseded", silently advancing the checkpoint without applying the rename.
Map the incoming entry's new path (newParentPath/newEntry.Name) for both
update branches.

* fix(filer.backup): detect a deleted source even when the replayed mtime is epoch

hasSourceNewerVersion returned early when sourceMtimeNs <= 0, skipping the
source lookup, so a deleted entry with mtime 0 (a valid epoch timestamp) never
got the gone verdict and wedged on permanent retries. Always look up; gate only
the newer-mtime comparison on a valid replayed mtime.

1b5f1c1f3b feat(filer.backup): -initialSnapshot re-seeds a reinitialized destination (#9828)
* feat(filer.backup): add -resetCheckpoint to force a fresh sync

filer.backup resumes from a per-sink offset persisted in the source filer's KV.
There was no first-class way to discard that checkpoint and re-run from the
beginning short of guessing a large -timeAgo, which also skips -initialSnapshot.

Add -resetCheckpoint: before reading the offset, write 0 for this sink so
getOffset returns 0, isFreshSync stays true, and -initialSnapshot re-runs a full
walk. Effective only when -timeAgo is 0.

The flag is cleared after the first successful reset: runFilerBackup retries
doFilerBackup forever on error, so leaving it set would re-zero the checkpoint
on every retry and never make forward progress after a transient failure. Later
retries resume from the persisted checkpoint instead.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(filer.backup): keep fresh-sync intent when offset read fails after reset

After -resetCheckpoint writes offset 0, a transient getOffset read-back error
flipped isFreshSync to false, which skipped the -initialSnapshot walk the reset
explicitly requested. Track that the reset happened this iteration and, on a
getOffset error, preserve isFreshSync=true in that case (the non-reset path
keeps treating a read error as "not fresh" to avoid re-walking on transients).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(filer.backup): skip offset read-back on reset instead of tracking a flag

Replace the didReset bool by branching: on -resetCheckpoint, clear the offset and
start fresh without reading it back (we just wrote 0, so the state is known);
otherwise read the offset as before. This drops the redundant getOffset RPC after
a reset and removes the read-back error case entirely, so no separate flag is
needed to preserve isFreshSync.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* filer.backup: -initialSnapshot re-seeds on every start; drop -resetCheckpoint

-initialSnapshot now walks the live tree whenever -timeAgo is 0, seeds the
destination, and overwrites the saved checkpoint, rather than running only on a
fresh sync. That re-seeds a reinitialized destination on its own, so the
separate -resetCheckpoint flag is gone.

The walk runs once per process: the in-memory flag is cleared after the
watermark is persisted, so the retry loop resumes from the persisted checkpoint
instead of re-walking on every transient error. A process restart re-walks, so
remove the flag once the backup is caught up.

Jaehoon KimandChris Lu 4b23204023 fix(vacuum): writable volume re-notification after worker VACUUM (#9732)
* fix(vacuum): notify master writable after worker vacuum commit

Add Phase 3 (markWritableOne) that walks vacuumTargets and calls
VolumeMarkWritable on each replica's volume server, mirroring
batchVacuumVolumeCommit's per-replica SetVolumeAvailable. Failures are
logged at WARN; the task does not fail because the vacuum itself
already succeeded. See upstream seaweedfs#9685.

* fix(vacuum): delay Phase 3 to let post-commit heartbeats settle

Phase 3's VolumeMarkWritable can race with the volume server's first
post-commit heartbeat. SetVolumeWritable adds the vid to writables,
but a racing heartbeat whose ReadOnly value changed re-runs
EnsureCorrectWritables against the master's per-replica cache, and any
replica still cached as ReadOnly=true silently removes the vid again
— with no further heartbeat change to trigger another recovery.

Sleep 30s after Phase 2 (Commit) so every replica's post-vacuum
heartbeat has reached the master before Phase 3 fires. Cancel cleanly
on ctx.Done so a shutdown during the wait still exits.

* fix(vacuum): reduce post-commit settle from 30s to 10s

VolumePulsePeriod is 5s, so 10s (2x) is enough margin for every
replica's post-commit heartbeat to reach the master before Phase 3
fires. 30s was overly conservative and made TestVacuumExecutionIntegration
hit its 30s context deadline.

* fix(vacuum): use flat 1m timeout for VolumeMarkWritable RPC

VolumeMarkWritable on the volume server is a metadata operation
(reopen idx + flags + master ReadOnly=false heartbeat), independent
of volume size. Scaling via vacuumTimeout(time.Minute) gave it tens
of minutes — even hours on TB volumes — so a single unresponsive
replica could block Phase 3 indefinitely. Use a flat 1m cap.

* fix(vacuum): gate post-vacuum mark-writable on commit read-only state

Phase 3 force-called VolumeMarkWritable on every replica unconditionally,
clearing the read-only flag and persisting ReadOnly=false even for a
replica left read-only by an operator, an EIO quarantine, or low disk.
That overrode states the master deliberately keeps out of writables;
master built-in vacuum gates the same step on the commit's IsReadOnly via
SetVolumeAvailable.

Capture the VacuumVolumeCommit response and skip Phase 3 when any replica
came back read-only, letting it recover on its own ReadOnly=false
heartbeat. Drop the 10s post-commit settle sleep: the heartbeat race it
guarded needed a replica cached read-only at the master, which the gate
now excludes.

Jaehoon Kim d00acded8a fix(vacuum): batch all replicas in a single plugin worker task (#9702)
* fix(vacuum): batch all replicas in a single plugin worker task

The plugin worker vacuum path emitted one TaskDetectionResult per
(volume, server) replica, but the dispatcher gates duplicate tasks per
volume via ActiveTopology.HasAnyTask. The first replica's task was
created and the remaining N-1 replicas were silently dropped, so only
one replica per volume was ever vacuumed — leaving the others with all
their garbage intact.

Mirror the master built-in flow (topology.vacuumOneVolumeId →
batchVacuumVolumeCheck/Compact/Commit/Cleanup) by:

- aggregating detection metrics by VolumeID so a single task carries
  every replica in TaskParams.Sources
- having VacuumTask accept []string servers (instead of a single
  string), re-check each replica's garbage ratio at execute time to
  derive a vacuumTargets subset, and run Compact/Commit/Cleanup against
  only that subset
- updating the dispatcher (plugin_handler.Execute, register.CreateTask)
  to forward every Sources node to NewVacuumTask

* fix(vacuum): run all-replica vacuum in two phases to keep failure atomic

The prior implementation iterated Compact → Commit → Cleanup against
each replica in sequence. A Compact failure on the second replica left
the first one already committed (its active files swapped with the
.cp* files), producing replica divergence with no automatic recovery.

Split performVacuum into two phases, matching topology.vacuumOneVolumeId:

  Phase 1 — Compact all targets. If any fails, run VacuumVolumeCleanup
  on every target to drop the .cpd/.cpx/.cpldb temp files, then abort.
  No replica has swapped yet, so every replica returns to its original
  state.

  Phase 2 — Commit all targets. Best-effort, matching
  batchVacuumVolumeCommit: per-replica errors are collected and
  surfaced together. Once any replica has swapped there is no clean
  rollback, so a partial Phase 2 failure requires operator
  reconciliation.

Adds compactOne / commitOne / cleanupOne / cleanupAll helpers and
removes the old performVacuumOne.

* fix(vacuum): abort when any replica's garbage check fails

The prior check tolerated per-replica RPC errors and only failed the
task if every replica errored — partial failures were silently treated
as "ineligible" so the responding replicas would still be vacuumed.
That produces divergence the moment the unreachable replica comes
back: it still carries the original garbage while the others have
been compacted.

Match topology.batchVacuumVolumeCheck's contract instead — its return
value (errCount == 0 && len(vacuumLocationList.list) > 0) gates the
whole vacuum on every replica's check succeeding. If any replica is
unreachable or its VacuumVolumeCheck RPC errors, abort the task; the
volume will be retried on the next detection cycle once the replica
is healthy.

* fix(vacuum): guard against nil metrics and TaskSource entries

Detection's bucket-building loop dereferenced m.VolumeID without
checking m for nil. VacuumTask.Validate built sourceSet from
params.Sources without checking each entry for nil. Both paths would
panic on a malformed protobuf payload that managed to deliver a nil
slot. Skip nil entries in both loops — neutral with the existing
nil/empty filtering already done in register.CreateTask and
plugin_handler.Execute.

* test(vacuum): success path no longer calls VacuumVolumeCleanup

The plugin worker vacuum is now two-phase (Compact-all → Commit-all,
with Cleanup only invoked on Compact failure to roll back .cp* temp
files). This matches topology.vacuumOneVolumeId, where
batchVacuumVolumeCleanup runs only on the Compact-failure branch.

On a successful Commit the temp files do not linger:
  - CommitCompactVolume renames .cpd → .dat and .cpx → .idx
  - leveldb needle map renames .cpldb → .ldb (needle_map_leveldb.go)

so calling VacuumVolumeCleanup afterwards is a redundant no-op. The
prior worker code called it unconditionally and the integration test
asserted that — switch the expectation to cleanupCalls == 0 to
document the new (and master-aligned) contract.

675020b342 fix(filer.sync): validate chunk size in FilerSink to prevent 0-byte propagation (#9701)
* fix(filer.sync): validate chunk size in FilerSink to prevent 0-byte propagation

FilerSink.fetchAndWrite previously trusted the source response and the
upload result blindly: a 200 OK / Content-Length: 0 reply from a broken
source volume was happily uploaded as a 0-byte needle to the destination,
and the destination filer metadata was then written with the source
chunk size. The result was permanent silent corruption -- ls shows the
file at its original size but reads fail with EIO.

Add two cheap defenses inside fetchAndWrite:

  1. After assembling fullData, compare its length against sourceChunk.Size.
  2. After a successful upload, compare uploadResult.Size against
     sourceChunk.Size.

Both checks wrap a new sentinel errChunkSizeMismatch that the retry
callback recognizes and refuses to retry -- needle.size=0 on disk is a
persistent state, not a transient network error, so the sync should stop
loudly on the affected entry instead of looping or, worse, silently
propagating it.

Tests:

  * TestValidateReplicatedChunkSize -- table-driven coverage of healthy,
    legitimately empty, zero-byte read, short read, and truncated upload
    cases.
  * TestFetchAndWriteRejectsZeroByteSource -- end-to-end: an httptest
    source that returns 200 OK with an empty body must cause fetchAndWrite
    to return errChunkSizeMismatch after exactly one source hit (fail
    fast, no retry storm).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* filer.sync: bubble size-mismatch past CreateEntry/UpdateEntry

Three follow-ups on the chunk-size validation:

- Use %w in replicateOneChunk so the errChunkSizeMismatch sentinel
  survives the wrap and reaches errors.Is callers up the stack.
- In FilerSink.CreateEntry/UpdateEntry, surface errChunkSizeMismatch
  instead of warning-and-nil. Other errors (deleted source chunk,
  transient network) keep the existing swallow so a hiccup doesn't
  stall the stream.
- Drop validateReplicatedUploadSize: uploadResult.Size is set
  client-side from the same len(fullData) we already validated
  pre-upload, so the second check can't fail.

Test: scope the RetryWaitTime override to the one test that needs it,
add a regression that locks in the errors.Is chain through
replicateChunks.

Jaehoon KimandChris Lu be451d22b5 feat(filer.sync): add -verifySync mode to filer.sync for cross-cluster file comparison (#9284)
* Add -verifySync flag to filer.sync for cross-cluster file comparison

Add a verification mode to filer.sync that compares entries between two
filers without performing actual synchronization. Uses directory-level
sorted merge of ListEntries to detect missing files, size mismatches,
and ETag mismatches. Supports -isActivePassive for unidirectional check
and -modifyTimeAgo to skip recently modified files during sync lag.

* Add mtime annotation and JSON output to filer.sync -verifySync

Add automatic mtime relation analysis for SIZE_MISMATCH and
ETAG_MISMATCH diffs, and an NDJSON output mode for external tooling.

mtime classification:
- B_NEWER => "late_updates_skip_likely" hint. Surfaces the case
  where target has a stub entry whose mtime is ahead of source's
  real file, causing UpdateEntry's mtime guard in filersink to
  permanently skip the update.
- A_NEWER => "sync_lag_or_event_miss" hint.
- EQUAL   => no hint (chunk-level issue suspected).

Text output example:
  [SIZE_MISMATCH] /path (a=996, b=0, B newer +274d [late-updates skip likely])

Add -verifyJsonOutput flag. When set, emits one JSON object per
line (NDJSON) for diffs and a final SUMMARY object, suitable for
piping into external diagnostic pipelines.

Concurrent writes from the directory worker pool are now serialized
via outputMu to keep both text lines and JSON records atomic.

* fix(filer.sync): use shared global semaphore in verifySync to bound goroutine explosion

Replace the per-call local semaphore in compareDirectory with a single
shared semaphore created in runVerifySync. The old per-level semaphore
applied a limit of verifySyncConcurrency only within each directory level,
allowing effective concurrency to grow as verifySyncConcurrency^depth on
deep trees.

The shared semaphore is held only for each directory's I/O phase
(listEntries + merge) and released before recursing into subdirectories,
so a parent never blocks waiting for children to acquire slots — which
would deadlock once tree depth exceeds the semaphore capacity.

Extract the capacity into a named constant (verifySyncConcurrency = 5)
with a comment explaining the memory vs. performance trade-off.

Add unit tests:
- correctness: missing file, only-in-B, size mismatch, active-passive mode
- concurrency bound: peak concurrent listings ≤ verifySyncConcurrency
- no-deadlock: binary tree of depth 10 completes within timeout

* fix(filer.sync): stream directory entries to prevent OOM on large directories

Replace the listEntries helper (which accumulated all entries into a
single []filer_pb.Entry slice) with an entryStream type that pages
through the directory in the background and forwards entries one at a
time through a buffered channel. Memory per directory comparison is now
O(channel buffer size = 64) regardless of how many entries the directory
contains.

Key design points:
- entryStream wraps a goroutine + buffered channel with a one-entry
  lookahead (peek/advance) so the two-pointer sorted merge in
  compareDirectory can work without buffering any full listing.
- A child context (mergeCtx) is passed to both stream goroutines so
  they are cancelled promptly if compareDirectory returns early (e.g.
  on error); the ctx.Done() select arm in the callback prevents
  goroutine leaks when the consumer stops reading.
- stream.err is written by the goroutine before close(ch), so it is
  safe to read after the channel is exhausted (Go memory model:
  channel close happens-before the zero-value receive).
- countMissingRecursive is rewritten to use ReadDirAllEntries with a
  direct callback, eliminating its own slice allocation.
- listEntries is removed; it is no longer called anywhere.

* fix(filer.sync): address verifySync review findings

Four real bugs found and fixed; one finding already resolved (shared
semaphore was introduced in a prior commit).

path.Join for child paths (filer_sync_verify.go)
  fmt.Sprintf("%s/%s", dir, name) produced "//name" when dir was "/".
  Replace all child-path concatenations with path.Join so root-level
  walks emit clean paths.

cutoffTime check for ONLY_IN_B entries (filer_sync_verify.go)
  The B-only branch ignored -modifyTimeAgo, so files recently written
  to B were reported as ONLY_IN_B instead of being skipped. Mirror the
  A-side mtime guard: skip and increment skippedRecent when the entry
  is newer than cutoffTime.

Summary emitted before error check (filer_sync_verify.go)
  A filer I/O error mid-walk still caused a SUMMARY record (or text
  summary) to be printed, making partial runs appear complete. Move the
  error check to before summary emission; on error, return immediately
  without printing any summary.

Return false on verification failure (filer_sync.go)
  runVerifySync returned true (exit 0) even when diffs were found or the
  walk failed. Return false so the main binary sets exit status 1,
  consistent with how all other commands signal failure.

* test(filer.sync): add missing verifySync test coverage

Four new tests covering gaps identified during review:

TestVerifySyncETagMismatch
  Verifies that two files with identical size but different Md5 checksums
  are counted as etagMismatch (not sizeMismatch). Exercises the second
  branch of compareEntries that was previously untested.

TestVerifySyncCutoffTime (4 subtests)
  A-only recent  — recent file skipped (skippedRecent++), not MISSING
  A-only old     — old file reported as MISSING
  B-only recent  — recent file skipped (skippedRecent++), not ONLY_IN_B
  B-only old     — old file reported as ONLY_IN_B
  The B-only subtests specifically cover the cutoffTime fix added in the
  previous commit.

TestVerifySyncRootPath
  Regression for the path.Join fix: walks from "/" and verifies that the
  child directory is reached and compared correctly (the old Sprintf
  produced "//data" which would silently produce wrong results).
  Asserts dirCount=2 and fileCount=1 to confirm the full tree is walked.

* fix(filer.sync): use os.Exit(2) instead of return false on verify failure

return false triggered weed.go's error handler which printed the full
command usage — appropriate for invalid arguments, not for a completed
verification that found differences. Use os.Exit(2) consistent with
the existing pattern in filer_sync.go (lines 251, 293).

* refactor(filer.sync.verify): split verify into its own command

The verify mode is a one-shot batch operation with a fundamentally
different lifecycle from the long-running sync subscriber, and most of
filer.sync's flags (replication, metrics port, debug pprof, concurrency,
etc.) do not apply to it. Extract it into a sibling command alongside
filer.copy/filer.backup/filer.export rather than a flag mode on
filer.sync.

Also rename modifyTimeAgo to modifiedTimeAgo (grammatical) and drop the
verifyJsonOutput prefix to plain jsonOutput now that the verify context
is implicit in the command name.

* fix(filer.sync.verify): address review comments

- Bounded worker pool: cap subdirectory goroutines per level via a
  jobs channel and min(verifySyncConcurrency, len(subDirs)) workers
  instead of spawning one goroutine per child. Wide directories no
  longer park ~2KB per queued goroutine.

- Don't gate recursion on a directory's mtime: a fresh child write
  bumps the parent mtime, but older files inside should still be
  reported as missing. Always recurse for missing-in-B directories
  and apply the cutoff per-file inside countMissingRecursive.

- Apply -modifiedTimeAgo symmetrically: matched-name files now skip
  the comparison when EITHER side is recently modified, not just A.
  This restores lag tolerance when B was just rewritten.

Adds tests for both new behaviors and a shared isTooRecent helper.

Jaehoon KimandChris Lu 96af27a131 feat(shell): add fs.distributeChunks command for even chunk distribution (#9117)
* feat(shell): add fs.distributeChunks command for even chunk distribution

Add a new weed shell command that redistributes a file's chunks evenly
across volume server nodes.

Supports three distribution modes via -mode flag:
- primary:     balance chunk ownership across nodes (default)
- replica:     balance both ownership and replica copies
- round-robin: assign chunks by offset order for sequential read
               optimization (chunk[0]->A, chunk[1]->B, chunk[2]->C, ...)

Additional options:
- -nodes=N to target specific number of nodes
- -apply to execute (dry-run by default)

Usage:
  fs.distributeChunks -path=/buckets/file.dat
  fs.distributeChunks -path=/buckets/file.dat -mode=round-robin -apply
  fs.distributeChunks -path=/buckets/file.dat -mode=replica -apply
  fs.distributeChunks -path=/buckets/file.dat -nodes=5 -apply

* fix(shell): improve fs.distributeChunks robustness and code quality

- Propagate flag parse errors instead of swallowing them (return err)
- Handle nil chunk.Fid by falling back to legacy FileId string parsing
- Simplify node membership check using slices.Contains

* fix(shell): fix dead round-robin print loop in fs.distributeChunks

The loop was computing targetNode with sc.index%totalNodes (original
chunk index) instead of the sequential position, and discarding it via
_ = targetNode without printing anything. Replace with a correct loop
using pos%totalNodes and actually print the first 12 node assignments.

* fix(shell): compute replication/collection per-chunk in fs.distributeChunks

Previously replication and collection were derived once from chunks[0]
and reused for all moves, causing wrong volume placement for chunks
belonging to different volumes or collections. Now each chunk looks up
its own volumeInfoMap entry immediately before calling operation.Assign.

* fix(shell): prefer assignResult.Auth JWT over local signing key in fs.distributeChunks

When the master returns an Auth token in the Assign response, use it
directly for the upload instead of generating a new JWT from the local
viper signing key. Fall back to local key generation only when Auth is
empty, matching the pattern used by other upload paths.

* fix(shell): add timeout and error handling to delete requests in fs.distributeChunks

The delete loop was ignoring http.NewRequest errors and had no timeout,
risking a nil-request panic or indefinite block. Replace with
http.NewRequestWithContext and a 30s timeout, handle request creation
errors by incrementing deleteFailCount, and cancel the context
immediately after Do returns.

* feat(shell): parallelize chunk moves in fs.distributeChunks using ErrorWaitGroup

Sequential chunk moves are a bottleneck for large LLM model files with
hundreds or thousands of chunks. Use ErrorWaitGroup with
DefaultMaxParallelization (10) to run download/assign/upload concurrently.
Guard movedRecords appends, chunk.Fid updates, and writer output with a
mutex. Individual chunk failures are non-fatal and logged inline; only
successfully moved chunks are included in the metadata update.

* fix(shell): try all replica URLs on download in fs.distributeChunks

Previously only the first volume server URL was attempted, causing chunk
moves to fail if that replica was unreachable. Now iterates through all
URLs returned by LookupVolumeServerUrl and stops at the first success.

* refactor(shell): apply extract method pattern to fs.distributeChunks

Do() was a single ~615-line function. Break it into focused helpers:
- lookupFileEntry: filer entry lookup
- validateChunks: chunk manifest guard
- collectVolumeTopology: master topology query + ownership mapping
- buildDistributionCounts: chunk→node mapping and owner/copy tallies
- selectActiveNodes: target node selection
- printCurrentDistribution: per-node distribution table
- planDistribution: mode-switch planning (primary/replica/round-robin)
- printRedistributionPlan: before/after plan table
- relevantNodes: active-or-occupied node filter

Do() is now ~100 lines of orchestration; each helper has a single
clear responsibility.

* test(shell): add unit tests for fs.distributeChunks algorithms

Cover all three distribution modes and supporting helpers:
- shortName, relevantNodes
- computeOwnerTarget (even/uneven split, inactive node drain)
- buildDistributionCounts (normal + nil Fid fallback)
- selectActiveNodes (all nodes / limited count)
- planOwnerMoves (imbalanced → balanced, already balanced)
- planDistribution primary (chunks balanced, no-op when even)
- planDistribution round-robin (offset ordering, correct assignment)
- planDistribution replica (owner + copy balancing)
- printRedistributionPlan (output format)

* fix(shell): add 5-minute timeout to chunk downloads in fs.distributeChunks

Download requests had no per-request timeout, unlike delete operations
which already use 30s. Replace readUrl() calls with inline
http.NewRequestWithContext + context.WithTimeout(5m) so a hung volume
server cannot block a goroutine indefinitely during redistribution.

* fix(shell): remove redundant deleteOldChunks in fs.distributeChunks

filer.UpdateEntry already calls deleteChunksIfNotNew internally, which
computes the diff between old and new entry chunks and deletes the ones
no longer referenced. Our explicit deleteOldChunks was racing with this
filer-side cleanup, causing spurious 404 warnings on ~75% of deletes.

Remove deleteOldChunks, movedChunkRecord type, and reduce
executeChunkMoves return type to (int, error) for the moved count.

* fix(shell): handle nil chunk.Fid via chunkVolumeId helper in fs.distributeChunks

chunk.Fid.GetVolumeId() silently returns 0 for legacy chunks stored with
a FileId string instead of a Fid struct, causing them to be skipped in
the replica balancing loop and looked up incorrectly in volumeInfoMap.

Introduce chunkVolumeId() that uses Fid when present and falls back to
parsing the legacy FileId string, matching the logic in
buildDistributionCounts. Apply it in the replica-mode copies loop and
in executeChunkMoves' replication/collection lookup.

* fix(shell): use already-parsed oldFid for volumeInfoMap lookup in fs.distributeChunks

chunkVolumeId(chunk) was being called to look up replication/collection
after oldFid had already been parsed and validated. Use oldFid.VolumeId
directly to avoid redundant parsing and guarantee the correct volume ID
regardless of whether chunk.Fid is nil.

* fix(shell): improve correctness and robustness in fs.distributeChunks

- Buffer download body before upload so dlCtx timeout only covers the
  GET request; upload runs with context.Background() via bytes.NewReader
- Replace 'before, after := strings.Cut(...)' + '_ = before' with '_'
  as the first return value directly
- Clone copiesCount before replica planner mutates it, keeping the
  caller's map immutable
- Add nil-entry guard after filer LookupEntry to prevent panic on
  unexpected nil response

* feat(shell): support chunk manifests in fs.distributeChunks

Large files stored as chunk manifests were previously rejected. Resolve
manifests up front via filer.ResolveChunkManifest, redistribute the
underlying data chunks, then re-pack through filer.MaybeManifestize
before UpdateEntry. The filer's MinusChunks resolves manifests on both
sides of the diff, so old manifest and inner data chunks are GC'd
automatically.

* fix(shell): match master's SaveDataAsChunkFunctionType 5-param signature

Master added expectedDataSize uint64; ignore it in shell-side saveAsChunk.

6cf34f2376 Add -filerExcludePathPattern flag and fix nil panic in -filerExcludeFileName (#8756)
* Fix filerExcludeFileName to support directory names and path components

The original implementation only matched excludeFileName against
message.NewEntry.Name, which caused two issues:

1. Nil pointer panic on delete events (NewEntry is nil)
2. Files inside excluded directories were still backed up because
   the parent directory name was not checked

This patch:
- Checks all path components in resp.Directory against the regexp
- Adds nil guard for message.NewEntry before accessing .Name
- Also checks message.OldEntry.Name for rename/delete events

* Add -filerExcludePathPattern flag and fix nil panic in filerExcludeFileName

Separate concerns between two exclude mechanisms:
- filerExcludeFileName: matches entry name only (leaf node)
- filerExcludePathPattern (NEW): matches any path component via regexp,
  so files inside matched directories are also excluded

Also fixes nil pointer panic when filerExcludeFileName encounters
delete events where NewEntry is nil.

* Refactor exclude logic: per-side exclusion for rename events, reduce duplication

- Extract isEntryExcluded() to compute exclusion per old/new side,
  so rename events crossing an exclude boundary are handled as
  delete + create instead of being entirely skipped
- Extract compileExcludePattern() to deduplicate regexp compilation
- Replace strings.Split with allocation-free pathContainsMatch()
- Check message.NewParentPath (not just resp.Directory) for new side

* Move regexp compilation out of retry loop to fail fast on config errors

compileExcludePattern for -filerExcludeFileName and -filerExcludePathPattern
are configuration-time validations that will never succeed on retry.
Move them to runFilerBackup before the reconnect loop and use glog.Fatalf
on failure, so invalid patterns are caught immediately at startup instead
of being retried every 1.7 seconds indefinitely.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Add wildcard matching helpers for path and filename exclusion

* Replace regexp exclude patterns with wildcard-based flags, deprecate -filerExcludeFileName

Add -filerExcludeFileNames and -filerExcludePathPatterns flags that accept
comma-separated wildcard patterns (*, ?) using the existing wildcard library.
Mark -filerExcludeFileName as deprecated but keep its regexp behavior.
