- Established standards for round-trip identity and CLI syncback parity to ensure consistent behavior across the system.
These changes enhance the clarity and accountability of the auditing process, paving the way for improved feature reliability and maintainability.
- Updated the `encodeInstance.stress.spec.lua` tests to eliminate checks for skipped counts, as duplicates are now included alongside unique children.
- Adjusted expectations in the tests to reflect the new behavior of the encoding process, ensuring accurate validation of encoded instances.
- Removed legacy assertions related to skipped counts, streamlining the test cases for better clarity and maintainability.
- Finalized the transition from a duplicate-name blacklist system to a comprehensive 3-pass matching algorithm for both syncback and forward operations, enhancing the handling of ambiguous paths.
- Integrated a new `matching.lua` module to facilitate instance matching during hydration, utilizing unique name matching, class name narrowing, and structural fingerprinting.
- Updated various components, including `ChangeBatcher`, `Reconciler`, and `snapshot` modules, to leverage the new matching logic, ensuring robust file management and improved performance.
- Removed legacy duplicate handling code and streamlined the encoding process for instances with duplicate names.
These changes significantly enhance the clarity and efficiency of file operations, paving the way for improved project management and user experience.
- Introduced a comprehensive audit guide for the production-grade sync feature, detailing the evaluation criteria for round-trip identity and code quality.
- Added a new plan for auditing the two-way sync Ref property feature, outlining specific tasks and expected behaviors.
- Updated `ServeSession.lua` to include the instance map in patch updates, ensuring accurate property encoding.
- Enhanced `encodeInstance.lua` to prevent encoding Ref properties during instance addition, delegating this to the patch update process.
- Implemented regression tests to highlight known limitations in Ref handling, ensuring better coverage and identification of existing bugs.
These changes improve the clarity of the sync feature's audit process and strengthen the handling of Ref properties in the system.
- Added support for encoding the RunContext property in the Script class to determine file suffixes (.server.luau, .client.luau, .plugin.luau, .legacy.luau).
- Updated the Confirming.lua file to improve UI consistency in the confirmation message display.
- Modified snapshot middleware and syncback logic to accommodate new file extensions and ensure proper handling of plugin scripts.
- Refactored tests to align with the new naming conventions for script suffixes and improved path uniqueness checks.
- Introduced a new configuration option `ignore_hidden_services` in `SyncbackRules` to allow filtering of internal services during syncback.
