Pre-release

Release Notes

  • Flattened CLI: removed archive subcommand group and info command.

    • archive inspect -> list (with --brief, --expanded, --files)
    • archive cmp -> diff
    • archive cp -> extract (positional: <archive> <id> <output>)
    • info -> list (for summary/object IDs) or manifest (for manifest JSON)
    • New manifest command for standalone manifest output.
  • list includes summary and object IDs by default; use --brief for summary only.

  • Legacy archive, info commands rejected with migration guidance.

  • Changed backup/export archive output defaults:

    • ZIP is now the default archive format for backup/export.
    • removed the --zip CLI flag from backup/export.
    • directory-layout archive support remains in archive reader/import paths.
  • Added an anyback_reader::markdown module that converts protobuf snapshots
    (objects/<id>.pb) to markdown directly from archive data, including text
    block styles, inline marks, links/bookmarks, file/image links, and markdown
    table rendering (Table / TableRows / TableColumns blocks).

  • Added anyback archive cp OBJID FILE [--archive ARCHIVE]:

    • saves document-like objects as markdown
    • saves file/image objects as raw payload bytes
  • Inspector updates:

    • Preview panel now attempts real markdown rendering from protobuf snapshots
    • Added w save-as flow for selected object with remembered output directory
  • Renamed primary commands:

    • backup create -> backup
    • restore apply -> restore
    • legacy forms are now rejected with guidance to use the simplified commands
  • Replaced restore plan preflight flow with direct restore/import preflight:

    • added restore --dry-run and import --dry-run
    • removed restore plan/apply split from primary CLI flow
  • Added backup zip output controls:

    • new --zip flag on backup
    • --dest PATH now auto-enables zip mode when PATH ends in .zip
    • manifest metadata is written to sidecar <archive>.manifest.json (sibling path)
    • inspect/restore still read legacy in-archive manifest.json for compatibility
  • Added archive cmp ARCHIVE1 ARCHIVE2:

    • compares directory/zip archives
    • emits ARCHIVE1 only, ARCHIVE2 only, and Changed sections
    • supports pb vs pb, pb-json vs pb-json, and cross-compare pb vs pb-json
  • Restore now supports archives without manifest.json (including desktop-generated backups), and infers object IDs for reporting when possible.

  • backup create output args updated:

    • renamed parent directory option to --dir
    • added --dest PATH for explicit archive output path
    • added --prefix for generated archive naming
    • added conflict and path validation (--dest vs --dir/--prefix, existing/missing paths)
  • Added milestone-02 e2e coverage for full backup + restore in same space.

  • Added nightly integrity fuzz scaffold test (tests/integrity_nightly.rs) with profile/env controls for object count, body size, elapsed time, and total bytes.

  • Restore transport compatibility update:

    • reintroduced path-based restore/import via Rpc.Object.Import.Request.params.PbParams.path for full archive apply
    • moved snapshot restore code paths behind cargo feature snapshot-import (opt-in)
    • when built without snapshot-import, --objects restore/import returns actionable guidance to rebuild with that feature
  • Added integrity failure artifact capture in tests/integrity_nightly.rs:

    • persists failed batch metadata, backup/restore command output, archive file listing, and copied archive under /tmp/anyback-integrity-failures/...
    • adds ANYBACK_INTEGRITY_TYPES and ANYBACK_INTEGRITY_FORMAT=pb|pb-json controls
  • On Linux/macOS, call nix::unistd::sync() after writing backup archive metadata to reduce transient filesystem visibility races in follow-up restore/integrity runs.

  • Added archive inspect command with optional JSON output (--json) and optional file listing (--files).

  • Extended archive inspect:

    • supports both directory and .zip archives without unpacking
    • adds --expanded mode to parse all *.pb/*.pb.json snapshot files and emit per-file metadata
    • is fault-tolerant: unreadable snapshot files are marked status="unreadable" with reason while remaining files continue to parse
  • Milestone 1 (restore snapshot transport plan) implementation:

    • added shared archive reader module used by restore staging, archive inspect, and archive cmp
    • removed duplicate dir/zip traversal branches in restore staging in favor of one archive-reader path
    • added archive reader unit tests for directory and zip listing/read behavior
  • Refactored archive reader into a standalone library target:

    • anyback/Cargo.toml now defines lib crate anyback_reader plus CLI bin anyback
    • archive reader API moved to anyback_reader::archive for reuse by external inspector programs
    • archive reader code has no keystore dependencies
    • CLI-only dependencies are gated behind feature cli (enabled by default); library consumers can use default-features = false
  • Milestone 2 (snapshot transport engine) implementation:

    • added snapshot import builder and batch planner for Rpc.Object.Import.Request.snapshots
    • added chunk limits with env overrides:
      • ANYBACK_IMPORT_MAX_SINGLE_SNAPSHOT_BYTES
      • ANYBACK_IMPORT_MAX_BATCH_BYTES
      • ANYBACK_IMPORT_MAX_BATCH_SNAPSHOTS
    • added oversize single-snapshot error path with object id/path/size context
    • added unit tests for batch split and oversize enforcement
    • added initial transport switch ANYBACK_RESTORE_TRANSPORT=snapshots during migration
    • snapshot transport currently supports *.pb; *.pb.json restore returns actionable error
  • Milestone 3 (event-driven progress/completion) implementation:

    • restore now wraps import lifecycle with ProcessSubscribe/ListenSessionEvents/ProcessUnsubscribe
    • restore now waits for processNew/processUpdate/processDone correlation per import dispatch and tracks importFinish summaries
    • added restore process timeout env overrides:
      • ANYBACK_EVENT_STREAM_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
      • ANYBACK_PROCESS_START_TIMEOUT
      • ANYBACK_PROCESS_IDLE_TIMEOUT
      • ANYBACK_PROCESS_DONE_TIMEOUT
    • restore JSON report now includes event_progress summary with process/event counts and final observed process state
  • Milestone 3 (path transport hardening) implementation:

    • removed restore import staging helpers and manifest-stripping staging branches
    • removed path-race retry branch for "no such file or directory" in integrity restore harness
  • Increased nightly integrity profile complexity in tests/integrity_nightly.rs:

    • small profile now runs more iterations/objects and higher body-byte budgets
    • medium profile now runs more iterations/objects with larger byte/time caps
    • profile parse test now enforces monotonic growth across tiny/small/medium/large
  • Expanded nightly integrity semantic coverage in tests/integrity_nightly.rs:

    • validates restored object type, description property, and per-object markdown markers
    • uploads and roundtrips file attachments (with context metadata) on even iterations
    • validates file attachment roundtrip via restore JSON success rows (type=file, expected file name)
  • Restore reliability hardening:

    • restore import progress is always enabled at the RPC layer (no_progress=false) so process events remain observable in non-interactive runs
    • session event stream drop/read failures now trigger reconnect-and-continue within existing restore timeouts
    • restore cancellation now uses an mpsc channel so signal handlers (SIGINT/SIGTERM) can request cancellation via the same path intended for future TUI cancel actions
    • import API errors now include code-based hints for common import failure classes
  • Restore/import completion hardening for path-based imports:

    • restore/import now fails if process completion events time out instead of silently proceeding
    • this prevents early command exit while server-side async import is still running against archive paths
  • Test cleanup hardening:

    • e2e and nightly integrity tests now register per-test prefix cleanup guards that run on early returns/panics
    • cleanup no longer depends solely on end-of-test happy-path execution
  • Added chat restore coverage:

  • new e2e tests validate chat message roundtrip for chat spaces and regular spaces with chats

  • nightly large profile now runs chat-message roundtrip checks for both regular spaces-with-chats and chat spaces

  • chat validations explicitly assert that sent message tokens are present after restore
