1//! Read access (per-user access design §4.4): the floor tick of a syncer
2//! that follows the workspace and never writes to the bucket.
3//!
4//! A writer's boundary takes other writers' and the gateway's commits into
5//! its tree in its first step (the consume). A reader has nothing to
6//! publish, so its tick is the pull alone: the request cell and the
7//! manifest pointer — the same two GETs an idle writer's tick makes —
8//! and a whole-tree `sync` when either has moved since the last pull.
9//! `sync` makes no store writes (`sync.rs`), applies only onto paths the
10//! scan finds clean, and records every change it declines, so a reader's
11//! tree converges the way a writer's does and never loses a local byte
12//! silently. It never publishes one either.
13//!
14//! What moved is judged by the two documents' etags, remembered here
15//! rather than read off the baseline: `sync` deliberately leaves
16//! `baseline.manifest_etag` where it was (`sync.rs`), so the baseline
17//! would report "moved" on every tick and turn an idle reader into a
18//! manifest download per floor.
