Expand description
The append-only install log of one stage: per-batch intents and creations, with resumption. What: The append-only install log inside one transaction’s private stage: one synced JSON line per batch of intents and one per batch of proven creations. Why: The journal header changes only with the phase, so the per-batch records live here; bytes written then grow with the entry count instead of with the square of it.
In TS you’d write (pseudocode):
await using opened = await openInstallLog(stageContainer);
await opened.log.appendIntents(paths);Structs§
- Install
Log - What: The append handle of one log. Why: Each append is synced before the caller mutates the destination, so a crash leaves the claim on disk.
- Install
LogRecords - What: The records an existing log holds. Why: An interrupted installation resumes from exactly these claims and creations.
- Opened
Log - What: An open log together with what it already held. Why: The caller seeds its claim and creation sets from the recorded part before it installs anything.
Constants§
- INSTALL_
LOG_ NAME - What: The install-log file name inside a stage container. Why: Recovery finds the log by this name, so both wrappers must agree on it.
Functions§
- open_
install_ log - What: Opens the log of one stage, returning what it already records and truncating any unfinished append. Why: Resumption must see every claim and creation, and new records must start on a fresh line.
