Add folder (USB drive) sync for FW Lite - #2775
hahn-kev-bot wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Lets desktops pass a CRDT project through a sync folder with no internet: the folder holds a manifest and Harmony's JsonSyncable commit log, plus the media files, and syncs two-way on every trip. - Identity check (project id, root commit, a shared writing system) before any merge; the folder's commits decide its history - Anonymous per-device author when no Lexbox user is known, applied in HarmonyChangeWriter and CrdtCommentApi - Media copied both ways as LocalResource entries only, so offline pictures are still uploaded to Lexbox later - Comment read status and change notifications moved into SyncResultsProcessor, shared by Lexbox and folder sync - Windows app UI: Sync with folder... in the sync dialog and Open from folder... on the home screen, behind IPlatformFeaturesService.SupportsFolderSync Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Ignore hidden and system entries when you decide whether a folder is empty.
The overload Directory.EnumerateFileSystemEntries(path) with no options returns hidden and system entries. Windows creates System Volume Information (and often $RECYCLE.BIN) at the root of most removable drives. If a user picks the drive root (for example E:\), Inspect returns NotASyncFolder. SyncWithFolder then refuses the sync and shows "This folder has other files in it". The main case, "Sync with a USB drive", then fails on a new drive unless the user creates a subfolder first.

Handle rejection from pickFolder and openFromFolder.
openFromFolder has try/finally but no catch. The click handler calls it with void. If pickFolder or projectsService.openFromFolder rejects, the user sees no message from this component. The error also escapes as an unhandled rejection. The backend can throw, for example when the drive is removed during the copy. loading does reset in finally, so the UI does not stay stuck. The failure is silent, though.
Add a catch that shows a warning notification, or confirm that a global error handler reports this case.

Rejections from folder sync are not reported to the user.
run resets syncing and running in finally, so the button does not stay disabled. It has no catch. The click handlers call run with void. If pickFolder or service.syncWithFolder rejects, the user gets no feedback beyond an unhandled rejection. Show a warning notification in a catch, or confirm that a global handler covers this case.

AI summary
FW Lite users with no internet can now pass a CRDT project between desktops on a USB drive, or any folder. In a project, Sync with folder... writes this device's commits and media into the folder and takes in everything other devices left there. On the home screen, Open from folder... downloads the project from the folder, or syncs with it if this device already has the project. Whoever next reaches the internet uploads everything to Lexbox with a normal sync, so no new server code is needed.
This is the folder half of the offline sync work. The Wi-Fi host/join half stays on its own branch and will follow separately.
What's in it
manifest.json(project id, code, name, origin, writing systems) and Harmony'sJsonSyncablecommit log, oneclient_<id>.jsonlper device. An empty folder becomes a sync folder. A folder holding other files, a damaged manifest or a manifest from a newer app version is refused. The manifest is written to a temp file and renamed, and it's rewritten after every sync.ProjectIdentity,ProjectIdentityService). Two copies only merge when they have the same project id and the same root commit (the first commit in Harmony's order), and share at least one writing system. The folder's actual commits decide its history, not what the manifest claims. A different project or a different history is refused, never merged.IMediaStore,FolderMediaStore,MediaCopier). OnlyLocalResourceentries are filled in. NoRemoteResourcechange is made, so a picture taken offline is still uploaded to Lexbox on its first online sync.CurrentAuthorService,ILocalAuthorProvider). With no Lexbox user known, commits and comments get a stable per-device author id with ananonymous:prefix and the device name, instead of failing. The author logic lives inHarmonyChangeWriterandCrdtCommentApi.SyncResultsProcessor. Comment read status and change notifications moved out ofSyncService, so Lexbox sync and folder sync share them.FolderPicker. Both actions only show whereIPlatformFeaturesService.SupportsFolderSync()is true, which today means only the Windows MAUI app. FwLiteWeb runs in a browser, which can't hand over a real folder path, and Android folder access is deferred.Known limitations
JsonSyncablecan be left with a truncated commit line, which makes that folder unreadable until a new folder is used. A separate Harmony change fixes this.LcmMediaService.RecordLocalCopywrites theLocalResourcerow through the DbContext, as a stop-gap until Harmony exposes a publicResourceService.AddLocalCopy(in progress separately).Test plan
