timeline.rs

1//! Append-only timeline index + payload storage for Context Snapshots.
2//!
3//! Each project gets a directory under `<data_dir>/snapshots/<project_hash>/`
4//! holding one `<snapshot_id>.json` payload per snapshot plus an `index.jsonl`
5//! timeline. The index is **append-only**: every snapshot adds exactly one line
6//! and existing lines are never rewritten, so the timeline is crash-safe and the
7//! chronological order is the file order. The chain itself is carried by each
8//! snapshot's `parent_id` (the previous head).
9//!
10//! The dir-scoped helpers (`*_in`) take an explicit directory so they are unit
11//! testable against a tempdir; the public functions resolve the directory from
12//! the project root via [`crate::core::paths::data_dir`].
