Expand description
Installation of a validated stage into a new worktree, with preflight, batches and rollback on failure. What: Installation of one validated stage into a newly registered worktree: preflight of every existing destination entry, batched creation with its durable records, mode application and rollback of this installation’s own paths when it fails. Why: A destination that already holds an identical entry is accepted, and a differing entry is never overwritten, so the copy cannot destroy user state. Recording each batch before and after it runs bounds the work an interrupted run leaves unrecorded.
In TS you’d write (pseudocode):
const copied = await installSnapshot({ snapshot, destinationRoot, journalState, priorCreations });Structs§
- NoRecord
- What: A recorder that writes nothing, for installations whose caller keeps no durable state. Why: Such an installation is not crash-safe; it exists so the installer can be exercised before the journal lands.
Constants§
- INSTALL_
BATCH_ ENTRIES - What: The number of manifest entries claimed by one durable intent record and settled by one creation record. Why: Bounds both the number of journal appends and the work an interrupted owner can leave unrecorded.
Traits§
- Install
Recorder - What: The durable record of an installation in progress. Why: The installation reports every claim before it creates a path and every proven creation after, so the journal slice can persist both without this module knowing the file format.
Functions§
- install_
snapshot - What: Installs a whole stage into the destination, or rolls back its own paths and reports what it kept. Why: A failed installation ends with the destination as it was before, apart from paths the rollback could not prove were its own.
- preflight_
destination - What: The selected paths absent from the destination, after every existing entry has been proven identical. Why: An existing entry that differs stops the installation before any mutation, and an identical one is accepted without being overwritten.
