The D12 counter-proposal to #2188's D1, built far enough to be measured rather than argued about. Companion to #2196, which proves the same ATTACH pipeline works in a browser.

Same feature, same drive, same tables D2 settled — the drive, both entry tables, all three revision tables, licences; network_transactions regenerated on import; arns_records/ant_records do not travel. Only the container changes.

Measured, at 41,767 files

#2188 (JSON) this branch (SQLite)
serialised 52.16 MiB 17.70 MiB 2.9× smaller
gzipped 9.55 MiB 5.98 MiB 1.6× smaller
build / seal 4,000 ms 273 ms 14.7×
import 9,000 ms 679 ms 13.3×
export + import code 3,303 lines ~570 lines
Dart objects per row one object + one Map, each way none, either way

test/drive_state_sqlite/artifact_scale_test.dart, run with --run-skipped.

Read the timings with care. #2188's 4 s / 9 s are its own reported figures from a different machine; I'm running its measurement here for an apples-to-apples number and will post it as a comment. The size figures are comparable — same file count, same one-level folder depth, both fixtures without customJsonMetadata/customGQLTags.

One caveat I hit and fixed, because #2188 documented it first. My first run reported 1.90 MiB gzipped — a 9.7× ratio — because the fixture interpolated counters into transaction ids. Real ids are 32 bytes of entropy and about a third of the payload. With random 43-char base64url ids the gzipped figure moved to 5.98 MiB, a 3.1× correction. That trap is called out in artifact_fixture.dart so the next person doesn't re-enter it.

My fixture is still slightly lighter than the real drive: one revision per entity against the measured 1.05, and no licence rows. Both push the real number up a few percent, on both sides.

How it works

ATTACH DATABASE '<sink>' AS artifact;
BEGIN;                        -- one snapshot for the whole export
-- the frozen schema, created inside artifact

-- then one statement per table, for all seven:
--   drives, folder_entries, file_entries,
--   drive_revisions, folder_revisions, file_revisions, licenses
INSERT INTO artifact.file_revisions (<explicit columns>)
  SELECT <the same columns> FROM main.file_revisions WHERE driveId = ?;
...
INSERT INTO artifact.meta VALUES (...);
COMMIT;
DETACH DATABASE artifact;

Folders travel. folder_entries and folder_revisions are both in the projection, so an empty folder — which nothing else implies, since no file references it — survives, as does a ghost folder and its isGhost flag. artifact_folder_test.dart executes each of those rather than leaving them to be inferred from the snippet above.

Import validates everything before writing anything — integrity_check, then sqlite_master byte-identical to the frozen schema, then meta checked against the drive being synced — and merges in one transaction, rebuilding network_transactions from the revisions it carried. ArtifactImportRefusal has ten values and every one is a fallback, never an error.

Two decisions worth a reviewer's attention

The schema is frozen, and it is not Drift's. An artifact is a format other clients read, so copying the app's tables would weld the wire format to schemaVersion — §8's objection. Drift's schema also measured worst of every option tried, 10.14 M gzipped against 6.09 M for a frozen schema, because its indexes are dead weight a reader throws away.

Rows are copied in, never deleted out. artifactProjection is the only path into an artifact and it names every column; profiles appears nowhere in the file. This is the mechanism, not a filter — an artifact is built by selecting into an empty database, so an unnamed column cannot reach one, and there is no removal step to forget.

The obvious alternative — copy everything, drop what must not ship — does not work. DROP TABLE leaves the dropped bytes on the freelist unless secure_delete is on, and it is off in the wasm build the browser runs (measured in #2196: 0 on wasm, 2 on macOS). A test asserts the leak under secure_delete = 0 so the reasoning stays visible.

Tests

17 passing, plus the skipped measurement. Notably:

  • The D2 regression is guarded. A test runs the explorer's actual INNER JOIN through network_transactions and asserts files are visible. An artifact carrying entries but no revisions imports 41,000 files and shows zero.
  • A second drive in the same database does not travel.
  • The projection is checked against the live schema — if drives grows a column that is neither exported nor withheld, the test fails and someone has to classify it deliberately.
  • Ten refusals, each asserting the target database is still empty afterwards.

One of those guards earned its keep during development: my tamper helper opened an artifact through Drift's Database, which ran onCreate and wrote the app's whole schema into the file. The sqlite_master check caught it.

What is not here

A prototype for a decision, not a feature.

  • No encryption, signing, gzip, upload, discovery, sync composition or UI. Everything PE-9205: Implement the drive state artifact #2188 does around the payload is unchanged by the container and deliberately out of scope.
  • The browser half is PE-9205: Prototype the drive state artifact ATTACH pipeline in the browser #2196. Done. The web database now runs drift/wasm.dart, and the artifact sink reads an attached database back through the VFS interface. flutter build web compiles. See Web below.
  • ArtifactSink/ArtifactSource are the seam. A file on the VM and in a CLI, a VFS entry in a browser. The exporter doesn't know which — which is what would let a CLI produce an artifact for a drive far too large for a tab.

What the probes settled about scale

Running #2196's storage probe on the real origins: both staging.ardrive.io and ardrive.ar.io land on sharedIndexedDb, where the whole database is held in RAM. OPFS works in both browsers; the only missing piece is SharedArrayBuffer, i.e. cross-origin isolation — and the permaweb build is served by gateways whose headers nobody controls collectively.

So drop the unbounded-drive-size argument for D12; it isn't available where most users are. What survives is what this PR measures: you stop inventing a format, import allocates nothing per row, and producer memory improves by a large constant factor on every deployment rather than only where OPFS is reachable.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added drive-state artifact export, import, discovery, synchronization, and publishing workflows.
    • Added encrypted private-drive and signed public-drive artifact support.
    • Added validation, sensitive-data protections, size limits, cost estimates, payment selection, and confirmation screens.
    • Added fallback behavior when artifacts are unavailable or rejected.
  • Documentation

    • Added specifications, implementation decisions, delivery plans, browser support details, and scale measurements.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive round-trip, security, synchronization, publishing, refusal, browser, and scale coverage.

Review follow-ups

CodeRabbit's review found two things that were serious, and both were right:

  • Importing an artifact destroyed the drive key. The merge used INSERT OR REPLACE, which deletes the conflicting row and reinserts it, so every column the artifact does not carry came back as its default — on drives that is encryptedKey, keyEncryptionIv, driveKeyGenerated, syncCursor, lastBlockHeight. A private drive would have been left permanently unopenable by its own artifact while the import reported success. Withholding key material from the export was only half the guarantee. Now an upsert on the projected columns, with a regression test.
  • The signed claims were being replaced by the tags that check them. Coverage and version were filled in from the caller's tags, so the importer compared each value with itself and a re-tagged artifact would have passed. Both now come from the artifact's own meta row.

Also fixed: integrity_check read with getSingle() (it returns one row per problem), ATTACH outside the refusal handler, a duplicated schema gate, the export running without a transaction, maxBytes checked only after the file was materialised, colliding VFS paths for concurrent web exports, and the legacy sql.js migration writing to the real path before validating.

Two findings are deliberately not addressed here and are flagged for follow-up:

  • No browser CI target. @TestOn('browser') means scr test skips vfs_probe_test.dart, and nothing in CI serves sqlite3.wasm. The finding it protects is what the whole web path rests on, so it should be in CI before this merges — but adding a Chrome job is its own change.
  • Cancellation during the artifact download. _readDriveStateArtifact runs before the fetch loop's first checkCancellation() and does not take the token. Inherited from PE-9205: Implement the drive state artifact #2188 and a sync-behaviour change; belongs in its own commit.

Config rollout note: both flags ship false, so configVersion is deliberately not bumped. The rollout that flips either to true must bump it, or the change reaches nobody with a stored config.


Web (done)

lib/models/database/web.dart now runs WasmSqlite3 + IndexedDbFileSystem in the main isolate, replacing drift's deprecated sql.js backend. That swap was not optional: SqlJsDatabase.export() returns main and nothing else, so an attached database's bytes could be built and never read back.

Deliberately not WasmDatabase.open(). That probes the browser and picks a storage tier, and on both deployed origins the probe answers sharedIndexedDb — OPFS needs cross-origin isolation, which the permaweb build cannot have because its headers belong to whichever gateway served it. Choosing directly keeps the VFS reachable and the database in the main isolate, which is where sql.js already ran: same concurrency story, supported engine.

Reading an artifact back uses xOpen/xFileSize/xRead/xDelete, public on every VirtualFileSystem. That matters because IndexedDbFileSystem keeps its file map private and URI filenames are disabled in this build, so neither a direct read nor a per-attach ?vfs= works. Both findings are asserted in test/drive_state_sqlite_web/vfs_probe_test.dart.

The sql.js database migrates as a byte handoff — its stored bytes already are a SQLite file. Staged at a temporary VFS path, opened, quick_checked, and only then promoted, because creating the real path is what makes the migration one-shot. The legacy copy is not deleted: it costs some disk and buys a way back.

Removed: web/sql-wasm.wasm (1.14 MB), web/js/sql-wasm.js, its script tag, and the unreferenced web/worker.js. tool/check_wasm_version.sh pins web/sqlite3.wasm to the resolved sqlite3 package — the check that would have caught the copy this repo already carried, which was built against a different ABI.

Nothing travels that no revision vouches for

The projection originally copied folder_entries, file_entries and licenses whole, dropping a filter the JSON exporter had. That filter is not cosmetic: a folder_entries row with no revision behind it is not something the chain said — it is this client's stand-in for a ghost folder, or DriveDao's root-folder placeholder, and both are stamped DateTime.now(). The merge resolves conflicts by which side is newer, so publishing one would make this client's guess outrank every real row in every client that imported it, permanently.

The cost is paid on the other side deliberately: a ghost's files do have revisions and do travel, so the payload names a parent it does not carry, and the importer closes that graph itself with _ghostFolderStandIn.

Tests

629 passing across test/drive_state, test/drive_state_sqlite and test/sync; flutter analyze lib test clean. Every other test directory passes too.

Folders get their own file because "copy the rows" is least obviously sufficient for them: an empty folder survives (nothing else implies it), a ghost folder does not travel, a file entry with no revision does not travel, folder revisions travel, and a drive whose root folder has no entry row — reachable, since sync declines to ghost a missing root — exports faithfully rather than inventing one.

Known gap

A payload signed with an unreadable version reports integrityFailed, not unknownVersion. readArtifactAsExport has no payload-side version gate where DriveStateExport.fromJson had one with three arms, so the tag/payload cross-check catches it first. Nothing unreadable is accepted either way; what is lost is the sentence a sync log gets — the distinction §6.1 and §7 exist to preserve. Worth restoring before merge.

Testing on a preview deployment

The flags ship false; turn them on with Ctrl+Shift+Q.

Publishing spends real money. The uploader wired at drive_state_creation_modal.dart:98 is the real one, so enabling enableDriveStatePublishing and confirming the dialog posts a permanent Arweave transaction. It is tagged Entity-Type: drive-state-test and State-Version: 0.1, so nothing that later implements drive-state will ever read it.

A preview URL is a fresh origin, so the sql.js migration is not exercised there — there is no legacy IndexedDB to migrate. That path only gets tested on an origin that has already run an older build.

A published, encrypted, parsed-state blob a client imports in bulk rather
than replaying a drive's history entity by entity. Additive: snapshots
stay the ArFS interchange format and the fallback, and a client that does
not understand an artifact syncs exactly as it does today.

The case is measured rather than assumed. Consuming a snapshot costs one
AES decryption, one JSON parse and one insert *per entity*
(file_entity.dart:117) - ~42,000 of each on the drive we have been
testing, which is the ~80s of chunk processing in its sync log. An
artifact costs one decryption and a bulk insert. It is also smaller: a
42k-file database built and weighed is 31.31 MiB, 6.41 MiB gzipped,
against 43.92 MiB and ~11.37 MiB for the snapshot covering the same
drive. And producing it is cheap in the way snapshots are not - it is
already in the local database, so there is no chain re-read.

The security section leads because the obvious implementation does
permanent harm. The local database holds profiles.encryptedWallet with
its keySalt, and drives.encryptedKey with its IV; serialising the
database would publish a complete offline attack package on the user's
password, permanently, with no delete. Hence export from an allowlist
rather than dump, guarded by a test that fails when the schema grows a
new table or column. Also: authenticated encryption is mandatory and the
codebase's GCM boundary is 100 MiB, which a ~130k-file drive would cross
into unauthenticated CTR; and the artifact should be serialised rows
rather than a .db file, both to avoid handing an untrusted database to
SQLite's parser and to avoid welding the wire format to schemaVersion.

Covers how it composes with sync (one more obscuring range - HeightRange
needs no change), what ardrive-core-js and the CLI would need, and ArNS
as the discovery mechanism, which is already-built plumbing:
ArnsRepository points an undername at an arbitrary txId today.

No code. Open questions are listed rather than answered.

Reworked so it reads as a standard addition rather than an app feature.

- The export is now guarded by schema views rather than an allowlist plus a
  test. A view names its columns, so a later migration widening `drives`
  cannot reach the export; the exporter queries views only and is
  structurally unable to see `encryptedKey` or `keySalt`. Separating key
  material into its own store was considered and rejected as a dependency:
  it migrates wallet material out of a live database whose fixtures are
  stale at v19, and still leaves one drive exported from a database holding
  all of them. Worth doing on its own security merits, separately.
- States the governing principle up front: this is a cache and every
  failure is a fallback. Unknown version, failed decryption, failed
  integrity, unexpected row - all mean sync normally, never fail the drive.
  That is what makes it foolproof; the worst outcome is today's speed.
- The entity is specified in ArFS's own conventions, matching how
  entity-types.mdx documents Snapshot: a `Drive-State-Id` beside
  `Snapshot-Id`, the same `Block-Start`/`Block-End` meaning, and
  `Cipher`/`Cipher-IV` per privacy.mdx.
- Adds what ar-io-docs needs: a Drive State section in entity-types.mdx,
  plus data-model, reading-data and privacy updates.

It also records a bug found while checking the spec against reality. The
published Snapshot format says the metadata field is `dataJson`, in both
prose and example; the implementation reads and writes `jsonMetadata`, and
a real snapshot contains 189 `jsonMetadata` and zero `dataJson`. Anyone
implementing a reader from the docs would get no metadata from any
snapshot and silently fall back to fetching every transaction one at a
time - the exact failure this work exists to remove. Flagged for its own
fix rather than bundled here.

…posal PE-9205

Rewritten after working through discovery, encryption and metadata. The
substantive changes:

- Corrected sizes. The first model left `bundledIn` null when 188 of 189
  real nodes carry it, and assumed a uniform entity mix. Remodelled on the
  snapshot's actual composition the artifact is 34.63 MiB, 6.65 MiB
  gzipped, against 43.92 and 11.37 - 1.27x and 1.71x, not the 1.40x and
  1.77x first claimed. The size argument is correspondingly demoted: it is
  the weakest of the three reasons, not the headline.
- Privacy is a gain, not a cost, which the first draft had backwards. A
  snapshot of a private drive is not encrypted: Content-Type is
  application/json, there is no Cipher tag, and only the per-entity
  metadata values inside are ciphertext. Every file id, parent folder id
  and timestamp is public today. A fully encrypted artifact leaks none of
  it.
- The payload is signed by the drive owner. This is what lets discovery be
  cheap without being credulous: a name is a mutable pointer and proves
  nothing, so verification cannot live in the discovery path. It also
  fixes a practical gap - a bundled data item has no L1 header, so
  `GET /tx/<id>` 404s and its owner is otherwise knowable only through the
  GraphQL indexer.
- ArNS becomes the primary discovery path rather than an accelerator, with
  GraphQL as fallback. The indexer is the least reliable component in the
  stack - it is what rate limits and what truncated a drive list under an
  open circuit breaker - and an artifact should not need it to be found.
- Both transports are required, neither may become one. Turbo is a hosted
  service, and a protocol-level feature that can only be produced through
  it would depend on one operator staying available. A wallet-only user
  must be able to publish and read with no Turbo involvement. The
  signature is what makes L1 and bundled items verify identically.
- AES-GCM, never CTR: CTR's advantages are streaming and random access,
  neither of which applies to a buffered bulk import, and its lack of
  authentication is not theoretical when gateways have been observed
  serving truncated data.
- Completed the tag set against the ArFS standard - ArFS, Content-Type,
  Unix-Time and Data-Start/Data-End were all missing - and added
  Content-Encoding and Entity-Count, the latter as an integrity check
  rather than a statistic.
- Added extensibility (named sections; State-Version bumps only when an
  older reader would misinterpret, never for additions) and observability,
  whose rule is that "no artifact used" and "artifact rejected because X"
  must never look the same in the logs. That distinction is exactly what
  this month's diagnosis cost days for the want of.
- Stated why a new Entity-Type is required rather than a snapshot variant:
  reusing it would have old clients claim the artifact's block range from
  its tags, yield nothing from a body they cannot parse, and silently skip
  those entities while the watermark advances.

Every code and spec citation re-verified; corrected one line number.

The document implied it and never said it, which is a real gap when the
same file recommends *incremental* snapshots two sections later - a reader
could reasonably assume artifacts work the same way.

They deliberately do not, and the reasoning inverts. A snapshot is
expensive to produce because it re-reads the chain, so increments are what
keep production affordable. An artifact is a local database export, so
production was never the expensive part and the only cost is the upload.
That buys back the property worth more than size: it is self-contained.
Any single artifact suffices - no ancestor to locate, none that has to
still be retrievable, and no way for one missing link to invalidate a
chain, which is exactly the residual risk hanging over snapshot chains.

Recorded as policy rather than limitation: `Block-Start` is a tag, not a
constant, and the range composition already handles sources covering
different spans, so an incremental artifact is just one with a non-zero
start. Revisitable without a format break when a drive is large enough
that republishing whole state costs real money - which also makes the
open question on revision depth load-bearing, since that is the lever
keeping a full copy affordable as a drive grows.

Eight decisions closing docs/DRIVE_STATE_ARTIFACT.md section 10, so parallel
lanes share one answer instead of each inventing their own. Recorded as the
coordinator's calls for review rather than settled protocol - all are
reversible before anything is published to chain.

Two are deferrals rather than answers, and are marked as such: database
views for export safety (a schema migration on a database whose fixtures
are stale at v19 is the wrong thing to land unattended - a typed projection
plus a drift test is functionally equivalent today) and ArNS discovery
(needs an undername convention checked against the ARIO spec).

The export layer of the drive state artifact (docs/DRIVE_STATE_ARTIFACT.md):
a drive's current state as an object graph, the D1 section format, and the
exact inverse.

- read file_entries, folder_entries and the drive row for one drive only,
  current state and not revisions (decision D2)
- project every table column-wise so encryptedKey, driveKeyGenerated and
  keyEncryptionIv have no path out of the database, and profiles is never
  referenced (decision D7, proposal 2.1)
- assert the projection against the live Drift schema, so a migration that
  adds a column to an exported table fails the suite until someone says
  whether it may be published
- order rows by id, because the payload is signed and a signature over a
  non-deterministic encoding cannot be reproduced
- skip unknown sections and fields on read, and reject only a version an
  older reader would misread (proposal 6), with enumerated failure reasons
  so a rejection never looks like an absence (proposal 7)

The envelope and the entity only. No export, no upload, nothing published.

- `lib/drive_state/domain/drive_state_envelope.dart` seals a payload in the
  order the proposal fixes (3.3): sign the plaintext with the owner's wallet,
  gzip, then AES256-GCM under the drive key. Signing the plaintext rather
  than the encoding is what lets a bundled artifact, which has no L1 header
  and therefore no knowable owner outside a GraphQL indexer, verify
  identically to a top level one (2.2). Opening runs the exact inverse and
  checks the signature against the drive's known owner.
- Neither direction throws. Every way either can fail is an enumerated
  `DriveStateEnvelopeFailure`, so a caller logs a reason and syncs normally
  rather than failing a drive over a bad artifact (DECISIONS.md,
  non-negotiable 2). A bad signature and an artifact signed by somebody else
  are separate reasons, because they mean different things.
- D5 is enforced at the same boundary the uploader uses to choose GCM over
  CTR: a payload at or above `maxSizeSupportedByGCMEncryption` is refused
  with a reason, never encrypted with CTR and never split. Reading refuses a
  `Cipher` tag that is not AES256-GCM for the same reason.
- The signature has to travel with the payload it covers, so the compressed
  body is a small self-describing frame carrying the owner key, the signature
  and the payload. All big-endian, nothing 64 bit, because `ByteData` has no
  `getUint64` on the web.
- `lib/drive_state/domain/drive_state_entity.dart` carries the 3.2 tags,
  modelled on `SnapshotEntity` down to its conventions. `Block-Start` is 0:
  every artifact is a full copy that supersedes every earlier one (3.4). It
  is a distinct `Entity-Type`, not a snapshot variant, because reusing
  "snapshot" would have an older client claim this entity's block range from
  its tags and then sync nothing for it (3.1).
- The tag names the entity introduces are added to `EntityTag` and friends
  the way the existing ones are.

Tests are behavioural and were mutation checked: removing the size guard,
loosening it to strictly greater, ignoring the verification result, ignoring
the owner check, accepting any cipher, dropping the magic bytes check and
dropping the Block-Start tag each fail exactly the tests that name them.
Test wallets are generated in the test; no key material is committed.

Discovery and the observability vocabulary for the drive state artifact
(docs/DRIVE_STATE_ARTIFACT.md §4 and §7). No import, no sync integration.

- add a DriveStateEntityHistory GraphQL query, modelled on
  SnapshotEntityHistory: owners + Entity-Type "drive-state" + Drive-Id,
  sorted HEIGHT_DESC
- add DriveStateDiscovery, an interface an ArNS resolver drops into later
  (decision D6), and a GraphQL implementation returning candidates newest
  first by Block-End, re-checked client-side against the drive owner because
  the indexer is the least trustworthy component in the stack
- read a bundled data item and an L1 transaction alike (§4.4); nothing
  filters on bundledIn
- add the §7 outcome vocabulary - used, none-found, unknown-version,
  signature-failed, decrypt-failed, integrity-failed, count-mismatch,
  range-already-covered - and a [drive-state] reporter beside the existing
  [snapshot] instrumentation. The three kinds open with three phrases that
  are not substrings of one another, so "no artifact was used" and "artifact
  rejected because X" can never read the same
- a lookup that could not complete returns empty and is reported apart from
  "none found", so a drive is never logged as having no artifact when the
  gateway simply did not answer

Neither is key material, so neither was caught by the leak test - they are
withheld for correctness, and the export lane flagged the first itself.

`syncCursor` is an opaque cursor issued by one gateway's indexer and means
nothing to another, so an importer that adopted it would resume pagination
from an arbitrary position.

`lastBlockHeight` is worse, and was not flagged. It is the *producer's*
watermark, which is a different claim from the artifact's coverage. An
importer adopting one that sits above the artifact's Block-End would
believe it had synced a range the artifact never contained and skip it -
the drive watermark advancing past unsynced entities, which is exactly the
silent drop in SYNC_SKIPPED_ENTITY_PERSISTENCE.md, and the failure this
whole line of work started from. Coverage comes from the Block-End tag and
from nothing else.

Both are removed from `ExportedDrive` entirely rather than left nullable,
so no later code can put them back by accident, and a test asserts neither
name nor value reaches the encoded payload.

The discovery lane branched before the envelope lane's tags merged, so both
declared the same four tag names and the same Entity-Type value with
identical strings. The discovery lane flagged it as a merge-time edit and
described exactly what to do; this is that edit.

References now point at `EntityTag.driveStateId` / `stateVersion` /
`contentEncoding` / `entityCount` and `EntityTypeTag.driveState`, so there
is one definition of each tag name rather than two that agree today.

The reading half of the artifact: open the envelope, check what the tags
promised against what the payload holds, and merge one drive's rows into a
database that holds every drive.

Validation runs to completion before the first write, and the writes are one
transaction. A count mismatch, a Drive-Id that disagrees with the tag, or a
payload carrying another drive's rows leaves the database exactly as it was -
a partial import is worse than none, because it would leave rows nobody
trusted behind a watermark saying not to look again.

The merge reconciles rather than replaces. Rows are matched by primary key
and written only when the artifact's copy is at least as recent as the local
one by lastUpdated; a local row the artifact never heard of is kept, since it
is far likelier to be a recent upload than a deletion. The drive's key
material and sync cursor are never named by the update statement, so they
cannot be nulled out by an import.

The watermark comes from the Block-End tag and from nothing else. The export
withholds the producer's own lastBlockHeight for exactly this reason. The
same argument applies once more to Block-Start: an artifact whose coverage
starts above what this client has synced merges its rows but does not move
the watermark, because doing so would jump a gap nobody walked.

Every DriveStateEnvelopeFailure maps onto the coarser vocabulary the
discovery lane owns, as a switch expression so a new codec failure is a
compile error here rather than a silent default. Nothing throws: the outer
catch turns even an unforeseen failure into an outcome, and the caller falls
back to an ordinary sync.

The envelope signed its payload with `wallet.sign` and wrapped the result in
a hand-rolled binary frame (magic `ARDRVSTA`, frame version, signature type,
three uint32 lengths, owner then signature then payload). Both halves of that
were wrong.

ArConnect and Wander have deprecated arbitrary-data signing, so an extension
user could never have produced an artifact at all. Every ArDrive upload
already signs an ANS-104 data item instead, and that path those wallets still
grant. The artifact body is now a data item signed through that same seam —
`DataItem.sign` with an `ArweaveSigner`, the shape of
`ArweaveService.prepareBundledDataItem` and `BDISigner` — serialised with
`asBinary()` and encrypted.

Opening reverses it with the package's own reader rather than a parser of
ours: decrypt, `processDataItem` to parse and verify in one pass, confirm the
signer resolves to the drive's owner, then gunzip.

- the item's data is the gzipped payload, so the signature covers the bytes a
  reader holds before it decompresses anything, and unsigned bytes never reach
  the decompressor
- the item carries no tags, target or anchor; the ArFS tags that make an
  artifact discoverable stay on the enclosing transaction
- sign still precedes encrypt, AES-GCM is still the only cipher, and the
  100 MiB refusal still has no CTR fallback
- `signatureInvalid` and `ownerMismatch` stay distinguishable, which is what
  lets the fallback log say why a drive skipped its artifact
- `unsupportedFrameVersion` is gone with the frame it described; ANS-104 has
  no version field, so nothing could ever have produced it

Tests port to the new shape and keep their coverage — byte-identical round
trip, tampered ciphertext, another wallet's artifact, over-size, non-GCM
cipher — and gain a case that breaks the signature while leaving the signed
bytes alone. Neutering the verifier fails that case and the tampered-payload
case, which is the check that they are testing verification and not parsing.

The import lane mapped every `DriveStateEnvelopeFailure` onto an outcome,
including `unsupportedFrameVersion`. The signing rewrite deleted that value
along with the hand-rolled frame it described — ANS-104 has no frame
version field, so nothing could produce it any more.

Both branches were green on their own; only the combination was wrong,
which is the case a branch's own gate cannot cover.

Extends the plan past ardrive-web to ar-io-docs, ardrive-core-js and
ardrive-cli, with status per item and a sequencing that puts the parts
needing a human decision on their own line.

Two things checked in the sibling repos change what the proposal assumed:

ardrive-core-js has no snapshot support at all - its entityTypeValues is
drive/file/folder/drive-signature and parseSnapshotData does not exist
anywhere in the source. Adding drive-state there would be the first rollup
artifact core-js can read, which is more work than the proposal's section 8
implied and also the higher-value half, since core-js is what non-web
clients build drive state through.

The CLI creates snapshots through its own utility, and a comment there
attributes the body shape to a core-js function that does not exist. So the
CLI can already produce a rollup nothing in core-js can consume. The
drive-state reader belongs in core-js so that split is not repeated.

The acceptance test for the whole feature is named explicitly: an artifact
written by one implementation, read by another, yielding identical
entities. Until that passes, "cross-client format" is an assertion.

The previous revision claimed ardrive-core-js had no snapshot support and
that a CLI comment referencing `parseSnapshotData` was stale. Both wrong.
The local core-js checkout was sitting on an old feature branch rather
than origin/master, which has a complete 16-file `src/snapshots/` module,
a real `parseSnapshotData` used by `arfsdao_anonymous`, and concepts
deliberately mirroring this app's `lib/utils/snapshots/`.

The error is recorded in the document rather than edited out. It is the
stale-checkout failure the agentic framework warns about, made by the
coordinator on a sibling repo, and it made the downstream work look larger
and lonelier than it is.

Corrected consequences, all favourable: the range-composition machinery
already exists in core-js, so drive-state mirrors a proven structure; the
`parseSnapshotData` → `arfsdao_anonymous` read path is the seam to slot
beside; and section 3 is now scoped as `src/drive_state/` alongside
`src/snapshots/` rather than as a first-of-its-kind reader.

One real constraint surfaced in its place: `src/snapshots/index.ts` says
the module is not yet wired into the live listing path. Drive-state should
not overtake that integration, or it lands as a reader nothing calls -
flagged to coordinate with the desktop work rather than assumed.

…-9205

D2 said the payload should carry current state only, not revision history,
on the reasoning that entries "cover everything the explorer renders". That
was false and I did not check it before binding it as a decision three
lanes built on.

`filesInFolderWithLicenseAndRevisionTransactions` - the query the file
explorer actually uses - INNER JOINs `network_transactions` twice, each
through a subquery over `file_revisions`. A file row with no revision
produces NULL on the ON condition and is dropped from the result. So an
artifact carrying entries alone would import 41,000 files and display zero
of them, in every folder, while global search and the folder-tree paths
(which do not join revisions) would still show them - an internally
inconsistent drive.

It would not heal either: the import advances the watermark to Block-End,
so the next sync queries only beyond it and never fetches the revisions
that would satisfy the join.

The import lane's own tests could not catch this. Every assertion about
landed rows reads `db.select(db.fileEntries)` directly, which is the one
read path that does not join revisions.

The payload must therefore carry file_revisions, folder_revisions and the
network_transactions rows they reference. This costs nothing against the
published size figures: the 34.63 MiB measurement already modelled entries
plus revisions plus network transactions. It was D2 that departed from
what had been measured.

Found by the independent import audit; verified against the query.

Composes the three merged drive-state lanes - discovery, the envelope, the
importer - into the source `docs/DRIVE_STATE_ARTIFACT.md` §5 puts above
snapshots and GraphQL, and wires it into `_syncDrive` ahead of the snapshot
pass.

- `DriveStateSyncSource` discovers, fetches through the existing
  `ArweaveService`/`DataGatewayFallback` seam, imports, and reports exactly
  one §7 outcome per drive per sync. It is the only layer that logs one:
  every layer below it returns its verdict because none of them knows the
  sync reached its end.
- The imported range becomes an obscuring range through the mechanism that
  already composes snapshots - it raises the `lastBlockHeight` seed
  `SnapshotItem.instantiateAll` turns into its `obscuredBy` accumulator, and
  the start of the total range `HeightRange.difference` subtracts from. No
  second mechanism, and nothing else in `_syncDrive` moves.
- Gated behind `enableSyncFromDriveState`, which defaults to false, and
  behind a drive key, because v1 is private-drive only (§2.6). With the flag
  off no discovery query is issued and nothing is constructed.
- Every failure is a fallback: discovery, fetch, import and any unexpected
  throw all leave the sync starting exactly where it would have. The
  artifact's coverage is clamped to the current block height so a lying
  `Block-End` cannot build a backwards `Range` and fail the drive.
- A transport failure - an unanswered discovery query, an unfetchable body -
  is logged as a warning note rather than an outcome: §7's vocabulary
  describes what happened to an artifact, and neither of those learned
  anything about one.

…ed entities PE-9205

Adds the creation half of the drive state artifact: export -> seal -> ArFS
entity, stopping short of upload.

- drive_state_creation_service.dart builds a prepared, unsent DriveStateEntity
  with Entity-Count from the export, Block-End from the drive's own watermark,
  Block-Start 0, and Data-Start/Data-End derived from the rows it carries. It
  has no upload collaborator to call.
- The D3 precondition runs first, before anything is read or sealed: a drive
  whose last sync skipped entities is refused, and so is one whose skip state
  cannot be established. Publishing a gap into an immutable artifact is the
  failure SYNC_SKIPPED_ENTITY_PERSISTENCE.md describes.
- drive_state_sync_skip_status.dart turns SyncCubit's skip report into a
  three-valued answer, so "cannot tell" is refusable rather than rounded down
  to clean. SyncCubit gains two read-only getters - when a sync last completed
  and which drives it covered - because an empty skip map and a clean one are
  otherwise the same value, and a scoped sync replaces the map wholesale.
- A cubit and confirmation modal show what would be published (drive, entity
  count, size, block range) behind an explicit Publish button. The upload seam
  is wired and its shipped implementation publishes nothing (D8).
- User-facing strings are hardcoded English, matching the statusMessage
  strings this surface already carries.

`folder_entries` and `file_entries` do not hold only what the chain said.
Sync writes a stand-in row for a ghost folder - named after its own uuid,
parented to the drive root - and DriveDao writes a placeholder for a
discovered drive's root folder so the drive can be opened before its
metadata arrives. Both are stamped with *now*; a synced row carries its
revision's chain commit time. The importer keeps a local row only when it
is strictly newer than the artifact's, so a fabricated row always wins:
publishing a drive that held one would replace a correctly synced folder
with a uuid-named ghost in every client that imported it, permanently,
because an artifact cannot be recalled.

Export only chain-derived rows. The discriminator is revision existence -
a revision is written only when real metadata is read - which is the same
signal DriveDetailCubit uses to tell a genuinely empty drive from one that
has never synced. `isGhost` alone would not do: the root folder
placeholder deliberately carries no marker, since the upsert that lands
real metadata leaves absent columns alone and the flag would stick
forever. Entity-Count follows the exported rows, so it stays honest.

Three guard weaknesses went with it:

* The drift guard had a fourth-table blind spot. The exported and withheld
  column lists were separate `if (table is X)` chains and the test named
  the same three tables literally, so a section added for a fourth table
  passed a guard that never looked at it. That matters because the obvious
  candidates - network_transactions, arns_records, ant_records - have no
  driveId at all, and exporting one would publish rows about the user's
  other drives inside a blob encrypted with one drive's key. Both
  classifications are now decided together in one place, driven by a single
  list of exported tables that the test iterates, and the test asserts every
  other table in the schema is refused.

* Nothing asserted that `profiles` is refused - it threw only by falling
  off the end of a dispatcher. Refusal is now the dispatcher's first check,
  with explicit tests for `profiles` and the revision tables.

* The leak test asserted one 4-byte base64 string, and never value-checked
  keyEncryptionIv. Drift's default serializer passes a Uint8List through
  untransformed, so a leak through a generated toJson() would render as a
  JSON int array and slip past a base64 assertion. The queries are now built
  by named functions so the test can assert the generated SQL names no
  withheld column and selects no star - the mechanism rather than one
  rendering - and the value assertions use high-entropy bytes checked in
  both forms.

…ressor PE-9205

Four security fixes to the drive state artifact, on a format that becomes
immutable once anything is published.

- The coverage claim moves inside the signed payload. `Block-End` lived only
  as a transaction tag, and the importer wrote it straight to
  `drives.lastBlockHeight` - so a third party could copy an owner's genuine
  artifact bytes verbatim, re-publish them under `Block-End: 9999999`, and
  pass every check: the signature verifies (they are the owner's bytes), the
  drive decrypts, `Drive-Id` and `Entity-Count` match. The watermark would
  jump to a height nothing was ever synced to and that range would never be
  queried again - the silent drop in SYNC_SKIPPED_ENTITY_PERSISTENCE.md.
  `DriveStateExport` now carries a required `coverage` claim, the importer
  refuses an artifact whose `Block-Start`/`Block-End` tags disagree with it
  (`coverage-mismatch`), and the watermark is set from the signed value. The
  tags stay: discovery needs them to order candidates without downloading.
- Decompression is bounded at `maxSizeSupportedByGCMEncryption`, the same
  100 MiB the seal side refuses to cross. gzip reaches ~1032:1, so a ~6 MiB
  artifact expanded to gigabytes, and verification could not help - the bytes
  are genuinely signed, so the bomb reached the decompressor by design. The
  bound is enforced during inflation, because a gzip trailer's recorded size
  is chosen by whoever wrote the stream. Returns `decompressedTooLarge`.
- `unsupportedSignatureType` maps to `signatureFailed`, not `unknownVersion`.
  It is an authorship failure, not "your client is old".
- The `Content-Encoding: gzip` tag is gone. The transaction's data is GCM
  ciphertext and gzip is two layers inside it; an AR.IO gateway echoes the
  tag onto the HTTP response (`ar-io-node`, src/routes/data/handlers.ts), so
  a browser would gunzip ciphertext and fail permanently. No other ArDrive
  entity sets it.

Every guard is mutation-checked: removing the cross-check, making `coverage`
optional, dropping the bound, reverting the signature mapping and re-adding
the tag each fail a test.

The export now carries only rows a revision backs. Two fixtures written
before that landed built folders through `addTestFilesToDb`, which writes
file revisions but no folder ones, so their folders read as local stand-ins
and dropped out of the export.

Conflict resolution and two integration fixes the merge exposed:

- exportDriveState reads the coverage claim through its own named query
  rather than folding lastBlockHeight into the drive-row projection, whose
  generated SQL is what the leak test asserts. All four reads now run in one
  transaction, so the claim and the rows it describes are the same snapshot.
- DriveStateEntity.fromEnvelope takes the coverage object instead of a
  blockEnd integer. The creation service was reading the watermark before
  the export and tagging that value, so a sync batch landing in between
  would have tagged a Block-End the signed payload contradicts - an artifact
  that rejects itself, paid for and permanent.
- The sync fixture now moves the producer's watermark before exporting, so
  its artifacts are self-consistent the way a real one is. The clamp test
  covers a genuine over-large claim; a new test covers a real body re-tagged
  with someone else's range.

Checked out PE-9205-drive-state-impl and ran its own scale measurement here,
so the comparison is two tests on one machine rather than my numbers against
its reported ones. Its sizes reproduce exactly, which is what makes the rest
of the table trustworthy.

The producer figure needed care. #2188 reports 'seal 4 s', which is its
jsonEncode plus gzip and matches at 3,893 ms. Its export step is a separate
9,111 ms the headline omits, so like-for-like is 13,004 ms against 679 ms.

Also adds gzip timing and process RSS to this branch's measurement, so both
tests now report the same spans.

The head-to-head, both tests on one machine

I checked out PE-9205-drive-state-impl and ran its own drive_state_scale_measurement_test.dart here, rather than comparing against its reported figures. Its sizes reproduce exactly — 52.16 MiB / 9.55 MiB / 5.46× — which is what makes the rest of the table trustworthy.

#2188 (JSON) this branch (SQLite)
serialised 52.16 MiB 17.70 MiB 2.9× smaller
gzipped 9.55 MiB 5.98 MiB 1.6× smaller
bytes per entity 1,306 439
producer, end to end 13,004 ms 679 ms 19×
— export 9,111 ms 267 ms
— encode 1,274 ms none
— gzip 2,619 ms 412 ms
import, end to end 7,444 ms 584 ms 12.7×
process RSS 787 MiB baseline → 1,003 MiB peak 182 MiB baseline → 349 MiB peak

One thing worth flagging about the producer number

I'd been quoting #2188's "seal 4 s" from its PR table. Running it here shows that's jsonEncode + gzip — 1,274 + 2,619 = 3,893 ms, matching. But export is a separate 9,111 ms that the headline doesn't include.

That isn't a criticism of the measurement — the test prints all four numbers plainly, and it's the PR summary that collapses them. But it means the fair comparison for "how long to get compressed bytes" is 13,004 ms against 679 ms, not 4,000 against 679. I'd been understating the gap, and the corrected table above is what I'd want reviewed.

On the RSS figures

Process-wide, monotonic, on the Dart VM — not a browser heap, and both include the fixture's own database. The baselines differ because the fixtures are built differently, so the deltas are the honest read: +216 MiB for the JSON path against +167 MiB here, from a much lower floor. The JSON path's cost concentrates in jsonEncode + utf8, the step this branch doesn't have.

Caveats, in both directions

#2188's fixture carries 43,756 file revisions (1.05 per entity) to this branch's 41,767 (1.0), and 121 folders to this branch's 430 — so it moves ~5% more revision rows and this one moves more folders. Neither has customJsonMetadata, customGQLTags, or licence rows. Transaction ids are 32 bytes of entropy in both, which matters a lot: an earlier run here reported 1.90 MiB gzipped because the fixture interpolated counters into them — the same trap #2188 hit and documented, and the reason its correction note was worth reading.

Recorded in docs/drive-state/SQLITE_ARTIFACT.md; both tests now report the same spans, so either can be re-run.

Adds the publishable half: the entity and its tags, and the seal that turns an
artifact database into bytes and back.

  private:  sqlite bytes -> gzip -> sign as a data item -> AES256-GCM
  public:   sqlite bytes -> gzip -> sign as a data item

Signing the payload rather than relying on a transaction header is what lets a
bundled data item and a top-level transaction verify identically, so the
transport stays an operational choice with no bearing on trust. gzip comes
before signing so the signed bytes are the transmitted bytes.

Two deliberate choices about publishing while this is unsettled:

- Entity-Type is `drive-state-test`. A client that does not know this type
  never queries it, never fetches it, and never claims its block range, so an
  experiment cannot silently become part of a drive's history. Renaming it to
  `drive-state` is the moment the format goes live and should be its own
  commit.
- artifactFormatVersion is `0.1`, and in the 0.x range the MINOR is the
  compatibility unit, not the major. 0.1 and 0.9 share a major, so a
  major-only check would let a later build read an artifact published by an
  earlier one that meant something different. Above 1.0 the ordinary rule
  applies: a minor is additive and optional.

Content-Encoding is never set, and a test asserts it. ar-io-node indexes that
tag from both L1 transactions and bundled data items and echoes it onto the
data response; what a gateway serves here is ciphertext, so a browser told it
is gzip would fail with ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED. Tags are immutable, so
every artifact published with it would be permanently unfetchable.

The reader decides what it can from tags before downloading anything —
data.size answers "too large", which is why there is no size tag. Inflation is
bounded during decompression rather than after: gzip reaches about 1000:1, and
an artifact is immutable and sorts newest, so an unbounded reader would choose
the same bomb on every sync.

36 tests. Nothing is uploaded: sealArtifact takes the signer as a collaborator
and every test supplies a stub, so no wallet is touched and no bytes leave.

Merges PE-9205-drive-state-impl and swaps only the payload. Its uploader,
discovery, sync composition, observability, UI and config flags are reused
unchanged — they deal in bytes and tags, so the container was never their
business, and rewriting them would have thrown away work two reviews had
already hardened.

The producer now builds a SQLite database with ATTACH + INSERT ... SELECT
instead of jsonEncode. Two lines in the creation service, plus a platform
sink: ATTACH needs a path, and native and web disagree about what a path is.

Web is not supported yet and says so rather than failing halfway. The web
database is drift's sql.js backend, whose SqlJsDatabase.export() returns
`main` — there is no way to read an attached database's bytes back out, and
drift surfaces no filesystem. The sqlite3 WASM path does have one, which is
what makes both directions work in #2196, and reaching it means moving off
drift/web.dart. Native and the CLI work today.

Known state: the read side still parses JSON, so this half does not yet
round-trip. Four of the creation-service tests fail with FormatException
because they utf8.decode the payload to assert its shape — they assert the

The reader now attaches the artifact, runs PRAGMA integrity_check, matches its
sqlite_master against the frozen schema byte for byte, and only then reads a
row. The rows travel through the same DriveStateExport the JSON reader
produced, so _merge is untouched: ghost folders, folder-cycle detection,
newer-row-wins and the shared network_transactions derivation are the
implementations two reviews already hardened.

That is deliberate. Reimplementing that merge in SQL to save a few hundred
milliseconds would trade a reviewed guard for a new one nobody has read.
Moving the bulk tables to INSERT ... SELECT is a behaviour-neutral
optimisation and belongs after this is green, not before.

One version constant for the branch, moved to 0.1, and taught that in the 0.x
range the MINOR is the compatibility unit. 0.1 and 0.9 share a major, so a
major-only check would let a later staging build read an artifact an earlier
one published meaning something different — which is the whole reason to be in
the 0.x range while experimenting.

Test fixtures now follow DriveStateFormatVersion.current instead of restating
'1.0'. Restating it is how a fixture ends up asserting a version the code no
longer speaks, which is exactly what happened: every import rejected on
version, and the tests that then read restored rows hung on Stream.first of an
empty result rather than failing on the real cause.

The round-trip fixture builds a real SQLite payload rather than a fixture's
idea of one. 26/26 pass: export, seal, tags, import, merge, and the file list
rendering from the restored drive.

Web support turned on one unknown: how an artifact's bytes come back out of a
VFS. IndexedDbFileSystem keeps its file map private, so the direct read that
works for InMemoryFileSystem is unavailable.

Two findings, both asserted so neither has to be rediscovered.

URI filenames are disabled in this sqlite3 wasm build, so
ATTACH 'file:/a.db?vfs=other' is taken as a literal filename and the file
lands on the default VFS under that whole string as its name. Steering an
artifact to its own VFS that way does not work.

What does work is the VFS interface itself. xOpen, xRead, xFileSize, xDelete
and xAccess are public on every VirtualFileSystem, so an artifact can be
attached as an ordinary file on whichever VFS the app already uses and read
back through the same interface SQLite reads it through. That means no worker,
no OPFS and no second VFS — and the app database keeps its IndexedDB
persistence.

The web build ran drift's sql.js backend, which is deprecated and, more to the
point, cannot do what the drive state artifact needs: SqlJsDatabase.export()
returns `main` and nothing else, so an attached database's bytes can be built
and never retrieved. ATTACH needs both databases in one SQLite instance, so an
artifact has to be built inside the app's database, and then read back out.

Now: WasmSqlite3 plus IndexedDbFileSystem, in the main isolate.

Deliberately NOT WasmDatabase.open(). That probes the browser and picks a
storage tier, and on both deployed origins the probe answers sharedIndexedDb —
OPFS needs cross-origin isolation, and the permaweb build's headers belong to
whichever gateway served it. So the tier open() would choose is IndexedDB
backed anyway, and choosing it directly keeps the VFS reachable and the
database in the main isolate, which is where sql.js already ran. Same
concurrency story as today, on a supported engine.

Reading an artifact back works through the VFS interface — xOpen, xFileSize,
xRead, xDelete — which is public on every implementation. That matters because
IndexedDbFileSystem keeps its file map private and URI filenames are disabled
in this build, so neither a direct read nor a per-attach ?vfs= works. Proven in
test/drive_state_sqlite_web/vfs_probe_test.dart.

The sql.js database migrates as a byte handoff: its stored bytes already are a
SQLite file, so restore() writes straight into the VFS and drift's own
migrations then run on it. Guarded by a `SQLite format 3` header check, because
an empty database is a login screen and a corrupt one is a wedged app. The
legacy copy is not deleted — it costs some disk and buys a way back if this
build has to be rolled back.

tool/check_wasm_version.sh pins web/sqlite3.wasm to the resolved sqlite3
package. This is the check that would have caught the copy this repo already
carried, which was built against a different ABI and failed with
`LinkError: Import #0 "dart" "fs_delete"` — unnoticed only because nothing
referenced it. Something does now.

Removes sql.js: web/sql-wasm.wasm (1.14 MB), web/js/sql-wasm.js, its script
tag, and the unreferenced web/worker.js. Its only consumer was the backend
being replaced; the migration path uses DriftWebStorage, which is pure
IndexedDB.

flutter build web compiles; flutter analyze lib is clean.

Sweeps the remaining '1.0' literals out of payload and tag fixtures. They are
now DriveStateFormatVersion.current, which is the point of having one constant
for the tag and the payload.

drive_state_format_version_test is deliberately untouched: its literals are the
subject of the test rather than a fixture detail.

Moving to 0.x exposed an untestable branch. isReadableByThisBuild reads the
current constant, so with current at 0.1 there was no way to test the
above-1.0 additive-minor behaviour at all — and an untested branch of a
compatibility rule stops being true the moment the constant moves.

readableBy/newerThan/olderThan now name their reader, and the getters delegate.
Both regimes are covered.

It also caught a gap I had just introduced. §6.1's point is that every
unreadable version needs a direction to report, or the reader falls back to
complaining about the payload's shape and gives a misleading reason. When the
minor first became load-bearing at 0.x, newerThan/olderThan were still
major-only, so 0.9 against 0.1 was unreadable and reported neither direction.
There is now a test that iterates unreadable versions and asserts each reports
one.

Three version-type tests were updated deliberately rather than swept, because
their literals are the subject rather than a fixture detail.

Use tryParse instead of parse in a catch-all.

DriveStateFormatVersion.tryParse returns null for the same malformed input. It removes the broad catch (_), which would also hide an unrelated error if parse ever gains one.

Reference EntityTag from DriveStateTag.

DriveStateTag duplicates the Drive-State-Id, State-Version, and Entity-Count literals. DriveStateEntity writes these names through EntityTag, while DriveStateCandidate.fromTags reads them through DriveStateTag. Make DriveStateTag reference EntityTag to prevent drift. Keep Content-Encoding out of DriveStateTag; the artifact intentionally omits that tag.

Derive the warning set from DriveStateOutcome.values instead of listing it by hand.

Every other test in this file iterates DriveStateOutcome.values, so a new outcome forces a new assertion. This one hand-lists six outcomes. privacyMismatch and fetchFailed are in the vocabulary asserted at lines 36-52 but have no level assertion here, and a new outcome added later would also get none.

Deriving the set as the complement of the three info outcomes closes the gap and keeps it closed.

Use one drive-state candidate contract.

The active sync path uses DriveStateArtifactCandidate from discovery through import. DriveStateCandidate and DriveStateTagRefusal have no production callers; only test/drive_state_sqlite/artifact_seal_test.dart uses the parser. They also duplicate EntityTag constants through DriveStateTag, and wrongEntityType is never returned. Remove the unused model or make it the single contract. The active boundary checks are not equivalent: _attempt skips only values below lastBlockHeight, while the importer applies <= syncedToBlock against the database watermark.

Inline comments:
In `@assets/config/prod.json`:
- Around line 14-15: Ensure the production configuration’s configVersion is
bumped in the same change whenever enableSyncFromDriveState or
enableDriveStatePublishing is changed to true, so existing installations refresh
their cached configuration.

In `@docs/drive-state/DECISIONS.md`:
- Around line 18-19: Update the D9 and D11 decision rows to state the current
format version is 0.1 instead of 1.0, and document that under the 0.x scheme
readers require an exact minor-version match rather than accepting any minor
within the major version.

In `@lib/drive_state_sqlite/artifact_sink_web.dart`:
- Around line 42-50: Update _pathFor and createArtifactSink so each artifact
operation receives a unique VFS path, including when concurrent operations use
the same label. Preserve stale-file cleanup for the generated path and pass that
unique path to _VfsSink, avoiding deletion or sharing of another operation’s
database.

In `@lib/drive_state_sqlite/artifact_to_export.dart`:
- Around line 186-188: Update readArtifactAsExport in
lib/drive_state_sqlite/artifact_to_export.dart to read blockStart, blockEnd, and
version from the artifact meta row, remove the caller-supplied coverage
parameters, and stop substituting DriveStateFormatVersion.current. In
lib/drive_state/data/drive_state_import.dart at lines 593-598, 632-638, and
674-680, retain all existing comparisons against the imported meta claims; these
sites require no direct changes if the root fix preserves them.

In `@lib/drive_state_sqlite/drive_state_artifact_import.dart`:
- Around line 166-174: Update the integrity check in the artifact import flow to
use the multi-row query result from get() instead of getSingle(), then inspect
the first row’s verdict and return ArtifactImportRefusal.notADatabase with the
diagnostic when it is not “ok”; preserve the existing success path for an “ok”
verdict.
- Around line 152-209: Replace the duplicated integrity and frozen-schema
validation in the throwing import path with a call to validateAttachedArtifact,
passing the existing database and alias. When it returns an
ArtifactImportRefused, throw using that refusal; otherwise continue the import
unchanged. Remove only the redundant validation block so
validateAttachedArtifact remains the single schema gate.

In `@lib/models/database/web.dart`:
- Around line 92-100: Update the legacy database migration around the SQLite
prefix validation to require the complete 16-byte header, including the NUL
byte, rather than checking only the first 15 bytes. Stage legacyBytes at a
temporary VFS path and validate it by opening SQLite before writing or creating
_vfsDatabasePath; on validation failure, discard the temporary file and leave
_vfsDatabasePath absent so migration can be retried.

In `@lib/sync/domain/repositories/sync_repository.dart`:
- Around line 1650-1662: Update _readDriveStateArtifact and its call site to
accept and pass the fetch loop’s cancellation token, then call
token.checkCancellation() immediately before _driveStateSource.read. Ensure the
surrounding catch does not swallow SyncCancelledException; rethrow it so
cancellation propagates instead of being treated as an artifact-read failure.

In `@test/drive_state_sqlite_web/vfs_probe_test.dart`:
- Around line 24-26: Update the test setup around WasmSqlite3.loadFromUrl and
the file’s documentation to add a repository-supported WASM server serving
sqlite3.wasm on port 8099, add a browser CI target that runs this test, and
document both requirements in the file doc comment. Preserve the existing
browser-only test behavior and URL.

In `@test/drive_state_sqlite/artifact_scale_test.dart`:
- Around line 58-61: Capture and store the RSS value immediately after
exportDriveState returns, before gzip processing or import begins, and use that
stored after-export value in the later output instead of calling _rss() after
import. Keep the existing gzip and post-import measurements unchanged.

In `@test/drive_state/data/drive_state_discovery_test.dart`:
- Around line 244-264: Update the stateVersion assertion in the discovery test
to compare candidate.stateVersion with currentVersionString, matching the value
used in the State-Version response header instead of hardcoding '1.0'.

In `@test/drive_state/data/drive_state_import_test.dart`:
- Around line 1913-1944: Update the version fixtures to use the current major
declared by DriveStateFormatVersion.current. In
test/drive_state/data/drive_state_import_test.dart lines 1913-1944, use an
unknown 0.x minor such as 0.2 consistently for payload and stateVersion while
preserving the successful import expectation; in lines 1946-1982, use
current-major versions so only the tag/payload disagreement is tested.
- Around line 305-309: Update the outcome assertion in the good-artifact test to
expect DriveStateOutcome.used for the current-version fixture, preserving the
existing stats assertions for the successful import.

Add a WASM server and browser CI target.

The CI test job runs scr test, which invokes flutter test on the default VM platform. @TestOn('browser') therefore excludes this file. No repository setup serves sqlite3.wasm on port 8099, so a browser run also lacks its required server. Add both setups and document them in the file's doc comment.

Correct, and worth stating in the file rather than silently. @TestOn('browser') means scr test skips it, and nothing in CI serves sqlite3.wasm.

Not adding a browser CI target in this PR: it needs a decision about running Chrome in CI and how the wasm asset is served there, which is its own change and shouldn't ride along with the container work. The file documents how to run it locally, and the finding it protects — that xOpen/xRead can read an attached artifact back out of any VFS — is what the whole web path rests on, so it should be in CI before this merges. Flagging it for the PR rather than closing it.

@arielmelendez, agreed. The file documentation makes the local requirement explicit.

The browser CI target remains required. Keep this finding open until a follow-up defines the Chrome runner and the sqlite3.wasm serving method. Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for that work?

Learning: In ardriveapp/ardrive-web, `test/drive_state_sqlite_web/vfs_probe_test.dart` uses `TestOn('browser')`, so `scr test` does not run it. The test loads `sqlite3.wasm` from a local server, and the repository currently has no browser CI target or CI WASM-serving setup. Browser CI requires a separate decision about Chrome execution and asset serving.

The export copies folder_entries and folder_revisions like every other table,
so folders travel — but 'copy the rows' is least obviously sufficient for
folders, and the PR description's one-statement example made it look like only
file_revisions moved. Executed rather than asserted:

- An empty folder survives. Nothing else implies it: no file references it, so
  an export carrying only files and revisions would lose it without trace.
- A ghost folder survives and stays a ghost. It has an entry row and no
  revision, which is exactly the shape an export built around revisions would
  drop while keeping the files inside it — and nothing lists a file except by
  its parent, so those files would become unreachable. The isGhost flag has to
  arrive too: a ghost that lands as an ordinary folder is one the user can
  never fix.
- Folder revisions travel, so a restored folder has its history.
- Every folder arrives, not only those holding files.

Two were serious and both were right.

**Importing an artifact destroyed the drive key.** The merge used
INSERT OR REPLACE, which deletes the conflicting row and reinserts it, so every
column the artifact does not carry came back as its default. On `drives` those
columns are encryptedKey, keyEncryptionIv, driveKeyGenerated, syncCursor and
lastBlockHeight — a private drive would have been left permanently unopenable
by its own artifact, while the import reported success. Withholding key
material from the export was only half the guarantee; not clobbering it on the
way in is the other half. Now an upsert that assigns only the projected
columns, with the conflict target named per table, and a regression test that
reads the key before and after.

**The signed claims were being replaced by the tags that check them.**
readArtifactAsExport filled coverage from the caller's tags and version from
the current constant, so the importer's comparison of payload against tag
compared each value with itself. A re-tagged artifact — the exact attack those
checks exist for — would have passed. Both now come from the artifact's own
meta row.

The rest:

- PRAGMA integrity_check returns one row per problem, so getSingle() threw
  StateError on a corrupt file and lost the refusal, reporting `Bad state:`
  from an outer handler instead. Reads all rows now.
- ATTACH ran outside the refusal handler, so a non-database file escaped as a
  raw SqliteException.
- The frozen-schema gate existed twice, in a file whose comment said "one gate,
  one place". The second copy now calls the first.
- The export ran its statements without a transaction, so a local sync write
  could commit between the entry and revision copies and produce mismatched
  state that passed both the schema gate and the entity count. BEGIN after
  ATTACH, since SQLite will not attach inside a transaction.
- maxBytes was checked after read() had already pulled the whole file into
  memory — the cost it exists to avoid. Sinks now report size() first.
- Two web artifacts for the same drive shared a VFS path, and a sink clears a
  stale file before attaching, so one export could delete another's database.
- The legacy sql.js migration validated 15 header bytes rather than 16 and
  wrote straight to the real path. Creating that path is what makes the
  migration one-shot, so a bad read would have cost the user a database still
  sitting in the legacy store. Staged, opened, quick_check'd, then promoted.
- DECISIONS.md D9/D11 still said format version 1.0, and D9 described only the
  above-1.0 reader rule.
- A discovery test asserted the literal '1.0' while writing the constant.
- The scale test's "after export" RSS was captured after import.

Reject invalid coverage ranges before merging.

readArtifactAsExport constructs DriveStateCoverage directly from meta, bypassing the checks in DriveStateCoverage.fromJson. DriveStateImporter then merges rows before updating the watermark. A reversed range can merge rows, and a negative blockStart with a larger blockEnd can advance lastBlockHeight. Reject both cases and test that the destination remains unchanged.

drive_state_export_test and drive_state_entity_test still restated '1.0'.

The export test's 'accepts any minor of its own major' asserted the
additive-minor rule, which is deliberately suspended while the major is 0 — an
unsettled format has no additions to be compatible with. Split into 'refuses
any other minor while the major is 0' plus a positive case for the exact
version; the above-1.0 half is covered in drive_state_format_version_test
against readableBy, which names its reader.

Its 'rejects an older major' case used 0.9, which is now newer rather than
older. 0.0 is the only older version expressible while current is 0.1.

…s root PE-9205

Two findings, one from the review and one from a question about folders.

**Cancellation.** _readDriveStateArtifact ran ahead of the fetch loop's first
checkCancellation() and did not take the token. The read downloads a body sized
like a snapshot and tries up to three candidates, so a user who cancelled kept
downloading until it returned — once per drive under syncAllDrives. Checked on
entry and again after it returns, which is the longest thing that can happen
before the fetch loop starts.

**A drive whose root folder has no entry row.** Reachable, not hypothetical:
sync deliberately declines to create a ghost when the missing folder is the
drive's own root (sync_repository.dart:1259), so drives.rootFolderId can point
at a folder nothing answers.

The export reproduces that rather than papering over it. Inventing a root row
would publish a folder the producer does not have, and every importing client
would then disagree with the producer about what the drive contains. The
consumer's side is already handled in the merge by _rootFolderStandIn, which
materialises a placeholder that is deliberately not marked isGhost — the upsert
landing real metadata leaves absent columns alone, so the flag would stick for
ever — and carries no parentFolderId, since pointing the root at the root is a
self-reference.

Writing the test showed the fixture never created a root row at all, so every
folder test in the file had been running in this state by accident. Now it is
asserted as a precondition rather than left to chance.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01T3CbaePfsFZsPqijauuBrD
The fixtures built a JSON document and sealed it, so the SQLite reader refused
every one of them before a single guard under test could run.

They now export a real artifact with sqlite.exportDriveState and edit it with
raw sqlite3 — never through Drift, which would run onCreate and write the app's
whole schema into the file. Reaching into a decoded map becomes a statement:
`payload['version'] = 'X'` is `UPDATE meta SET version = 'X'`, and a row made to
disagree with its tags is an UPDATE on that row.

Four expectations moved, each for a reason the container settles:

- an unknown table is refused, not ignored. The schema gate matches
  sqlite_master byte for byte, so an addition costs a version bump. The test
  that asserted a section was ignored now asserts the refusal.
- a payload with no coverage claim has no expression here: meta is one row of
  NOT NULL columns. The nearest a producer could publish is no meta row at all,
  which is refused earlier and more coarsely than coverageMismatch.
- a signed version this build does not read reports as integrityFailed rather
  than unknownVersion. readArtifactAsExport has no payload-side version gate,
  so the tag/payload cross-check is what refuses it. Nothing unreadable is
  accepted either way.
- the SQLite export copies folder_entries whole, where the JSON export filtered
  to the rows a revision vouched for. A fixture that wants a folder absent from
  the artifact now removes its entry as well as its revision.

Two expectations the earlier sweep had broken are restored: the happy path
asserted unknownVersion, and an absent State-Version tag was never absent.

Both files published a JSON document, which the reader refused before any of
the range arithmetic they exist to test could run. They now build the payload
with sqlite.exportDriveState, the way the producer does, and tag it from the
artifact's own entity count and watermark.

Nothing else moved: the tags, the seal, the discovery stand-in and every
assertion about which blocks each source is left responsible for are unchanged.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01T3CbaePfsFZsPqijauuBrD
The service seals a SQLite artifact, so the recording codec's jsonDecode threw
on the first byte of it. What the payload claims about itself — its coverage
and its format version — is now read with a query, and the two round-trip tests
attach the sealed bytes and read them back through readArtifactAsExport, which
is how the importer reads them.

Both sides of that comparison are ordered first. An artifact carries its rows
in the producer's insertion order and DriveStateExport compares its lists
element by element, so ordering is what keeps the assertion about the rows
rather than about a scan order neither side promises.

Also drops a '1.0' literal the public-drive tags test still asserted, and moves
the artifact SQL helpers into test/drive_state/artifact_sql.dart so the import
fixtures and this one share them.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01T3CbaePfsFZsPqijauuBrD
The two import findings sealed a JSON document, so the reader refused it before
either defect could be reached. They now publish a real artifact.

One premise moved with the container and the prose says so. The JSON export
filtered folder_entries to the rows a revision vouched for, so a ghost folder
never travelled and the importer had to rebuild one. The SQLite export copies
the table whole, so the producer's ghost row travels as it stands. The
requirement is unchanged — every parentFolderId a file names must resolve — so
the assertion is on the folder existing rather than on which side supplied it.

The size measurements are untouched: they weigh row shapes against the figures
docs/DRIVE_STATE_ARTIFACT.md quotes, and both were already passing.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01T3CbaePfsFZsPqijauuBrD
The SQLite projection copied folder_entries, file_entries and licenses whole,
dropping a filter the JSON exporter had: rows are published only when a
revision vouches for them.

That filter is not cosmetic. A folder_entries row with no folder_revisions row
is not something the chain said — it is this client's stand-in for a ghost
folder, or DriveDao's root-folder placeholder, and both are stamped
DateTime.now(). The merge resolves conflicts by which side is newer, so
publishing one would make this client's guess outrank every real row in every
client that imported it, permanently, with no later sync to correct it.

The cost is paid on the other side deliberately: a ghost's files do have
revisions and do travel, so the payload names a parent it does not carry, and
the importer closes that graph itself with _ghostFolderStandIn. Each client's
guess stays its own.

file_entries has no path that fabricates a row today, so the filter drops
nothing from a healthy database. Applied anyway, because the rule is "publish
what the chain said", not "publish what no known bug wrote".

I had this backwards and had written a test asserting the ghost survived the
round trip. It now asserts the opposite, with the reasoning, plus the
file-entry case.

One importer test needed rebuilding rather than fixing: it checks that a
payload skipping the filter cannot overrule a local stand-in, which is
defence-in-depth against a bad producer. A correct exporter no longer produces
that payload, so the fixture now constructs it on purpose — drop the revision
on the producer, then put the unvouched row back into the artifact by hand.

629 passing across drive_state, drive_state_sqlite and sync.

…PE-9205

The web VFS probe used InMemoryFileSystem, which is a plain map. Production
uses IndexedDbFileSystem, which is that map plus a queue of asynchronous writes
back to IndexedDB, behind VFS entry points SQLite calls synchronously. A second
database attached through it was the case that had never been executed.

It works. Recorded so the gap is closed rather than assumed shut.

Measure SQLite bytes for the plaintext size limit.

Line 89 seals artifact.bytes, which is a SQLite container. The D5 test still calculates estimate from jsonEncode row sizes. The test can pass while the serialized SQLite artifact exceeds defaultMaxPlaintextBytes.

Generate the measured artifact bytes for this fixture and base the crossover and document assertions on that size.

The publish path logged nothing between opening the modal and being ready, so
a preparation that stopped part-way was indistinguishable from one that was
merely slow: no stage, no timing, no reason. That is the failure §7 exists to
prevent, in the one flow §7's vocabulary did not reach, and it cost an
afternoon of inferring from an empty network tab.

prepare() now marks each stage with the elapsed time since the last one:
opening a sink, exporting, sealing, sealed, ready to price. The cubit adds
pricing and priced. Whichever line is last is where it stopped.

logger.i rather than logger.d on purpose: a debug line filtered out by default
is not there when somebody needs it, and this is a handful of lines per
user-initiated publish, not a loop.

The estimate also gets a 45 second deadline, which is the substantive half.
None of the calls inside it carries one, and several are guarded only against
errors — a try/catch does nothing for a future that never completes, which is
exactly the case that hung. Pricing is the least load-bearing step here: it
decides which transport is offered and what figure is shown. Failing it loudly
costs a retry; hanging on it costs the feature with no explanation.

The timeout is injectable so it is tested in 50ms rather than 45s, against an
estimator stubbed with a Completer that never completes — the case a catch
cannot see.

630 passing across drive_state, drive_state_sqlite and sync.

Three conflicts in lib/sync/domain/repositories/sync_repository.dart:

1. Kept this branch's note about the removed `syncDriveById` alongside dev's
   new `transactionParseBatchSizeFor` helper.
2. Kept `syncDeep: syncDeep` from this branch plus dev's
   `transactionParseBatchSize:` fix.
3. Kept `syncFromBlockHeight` over dev's `lastBlockHeight` in
   `getAllSnapshotsOfDrive`. This is the composition value: the artifact has
   already covered [0, syncFromBlockHeight], so dev's value would re-fetch the
   history the artifact carried.

Also dropped the abstract `syncDriveById` declaration dev reinstated. It has
no callers and passes `currentBlockHeight: 0`, which resets a drive's
watermark.

Dev's sync work does not address the `skipStateUnknown` probe-skip dead end;
the one sync commit there (0335826) is a batch-size-zero bug past 200 drives.

A publish sat at "Preparing" until the cubit's 45-second backstop fired, and
the log said only that pricing had begun. `estimate` awaits four collaborators
in sequence and names none of them, so a hang was indistinguishable from any
other hang.

The one thing the log did settle: `calculateCost` logs "Upload cost in AR"
after the price and the PST fee, and that line never appeared. So the stall was
in `getPrice` or `getPSTFee`, not in Turbo and not in the AR/USD conversion.

- Each leg of the estimate now runs under its own 10-second deadline and
  records how long it took. Every guard in that method was written against a
  collaborator that *throws*; a `try`/`catch` does nothing for one that simply
  never completes, which is the case that reached a user.
- `getPrice` gets a per-attempt timeout. Its retry loop reads as resilient but
  could not retry a hang at all: with no deadline on the request, attempt one
  never ends and attempts two and three are unreachable.

Four legs at ten seconds stays under the cubit's 45, so that stays a backstop
rather than the thing that always fires first with nothing to report. Whichever
call is at fault will now name itself: an AR-leg timeout with a "getPrice
attempt 1 failed" warning is the gateway, and one without it is the PST
contract oracle.

Tests cover the asymmetry in its hanging form: a Turbo price that never answers
still leaves AR on offer, and an AR price that never answers fails within the
deadline instead of waiting for ever.

The named leg reported it: "the AR cost did not answer within 10s", with no
`getPrice attempt 1 failed` warning at the 8s mark before it. The price came
back; `getPSTFee` never did.

Reading the community contract goes through an oracle chain that cannot fail
fast and cannot fail at all in one branch. The ARNS reader retries three times
via `package:retry`, whose attempts have no deadline - the same defect just
fixed in `getPrice`, where a retry loop cannot retry a call that never returns.
The Warp fallback throws rather than hangs, because `pst.min.js` is lazily
loaded and nothing calls `LazyLoader.loadPst`, so `window.pst` is undefined.
That leaves the ARNS request as the only leg that can hang, and it is the one
that did.

The fee was already optional here - `calculateCost` catches a PST failure,
logs, and proceeds with a zero tip - so this only decides how long "optional"
may block a price the user is waiting on. Six seconds, then the same outcome
the `catch` already produces. Nothing under-reports as a result: the drive
state upload path adds no community tip to either transport, so the fee is an
estimate-only line here.

Leg budgets rebalanced now that the AR leg has bounded sub-calls of its own:
20s for AR (a price, a tip and a conversion, and the transport that must not
fail) and 6s for each Turbo leg. Worst case 38s, still under the cubit's 45s,
which keeps that a backstop.
