Features

  • GUI + CLI diff command: compare regular files between two snapshots (added, removed, modified, with size deltas).
  • GUI – multi-row selection and batch delete on the Snapshots page.
  • GUI – grouped find results by snapshot for easier scanning.

Reliability & Correctness

  • Symlink validation on restore: validates symlink targets and warns on unsafe ones (absolute or escaping the restore root).
  • restore --verify: optional plaintext chunk hash check during restore for end-to-end integrity verification.
  • Harden stale lock crash recovery so a crashed maintenance run no longer blocks subsequent operations.
  • Harden backup reads against TOCTOU races between stat and open.
  • Bound non-segmented reads to pre_meta.size + 1 to detect files growing during backup.
  • Validate Item::size invariant during restore + check; surface metadata failures as errors instead of silently corrupting output.
  • Harden pack offset arithmetic against corrupted indexes.
  • Enforce the durable commit boundary via the type system (refactor(commit)).
  • Surface post-commit failures as warnings rather than aborting the snapshot.
  • Surface command_dump failures as typed errors instead of expect() panics.

Refactors

  • Split backup/pipeline.rs into orchestrator + stage submodules.
  • Split commands/restore.rs into phase submodules; stream restore in bounded batches.
  • Drop redundant clones on backup/restore hot paths.

Bug Fixes

  • GUI: write config files with owner-only permissions (0600).
  • GUI: rephrase prune dialog to avoid tinyfd quote-rejection on Windows.
  • core: format byte counts in daemon-visible summary logs.
  • storage: drain PUT request body in s3_backend test mocks (test stability).

Infrastructure

  • Stop stress test scripts on first failure.
  • Gate the absolute-symlink warning test to Unix.
