🎯 Highlights

This release focuses on data safety, documentation quality, and multi-machine search improvements.

🔒 Atomic File Operations

TUI State Persistence: Now uses crash-safe temp file + atomic rename pattern
ML Model Installation: Uses backup-rename-cleanup pattern for safe upgrades
Configuration Files: All config writes follow atomic patterns

📖 Documentation Deep Dive

Comprehensive new documentation sections for multi-machine search:

Sync Engine Internals: rsync flags, SFTP fallback, safety guarantees
Remote Installation Methods: Installation priority chain with timing estimates
Host Discovery & Probing: SSH config parsing, probe caching details
Index Recovery: Schema hash versioning and auto-rebuild triggers

🛠️ Index Improvements

Error Tracking: Background indexer errors captured via IndexingProgress.last_error
Index Recovery: rebuild_tantivy_from_db() can reconstruct full-text index from SQLite

📋 What's Changed

Features

feat(safety): Add atomic file operations for crash-safe persistence
feat(index): Add error tracking and index rebuild from SQLite

Documentation

docs: Expand multi-machine search documentation with technical details
fix(docs): Correct inaccurate documentation claims
fix(docs): Additional documentation accuracy fixes
fix(docs): Fix binary install path and connection timeout values

Technical Details

Atomic Write Pattern (TUI State):

let temp_path = path.with_extension("json.tmp");
if std::fs::write(&temp_path, &body).is_ok() {
    let _ = std::fs::rename(&temp_path, path);
}

Model Installation Safety:

Download to temp directory
If existing model: rename to backup
Atomic rename: temp → final
On success: remove backup
On failure: restore from backup
