A case-only rename on Windows or macOS keeps size and mtime_ns, so the
rescan skipped the file and the item kept the old spelling. Its target was
then formatted from a name the directory no longer lists, the capture
refused it, and the item stayed pending with no way to apply it. The skip
path and a duplicate insert now record the current spelling for every item
at the locator and move the review index revision; item revisions do not
change, so an open decision stays valid. Tested under case-folding
semantics on every platform.
Apply now finds the legacy rows of the same physical file however its root
is reached. The roots are real paths while the monitor links under the
directory it watches, so a symlinked or junctioned root, subst or a mapped
drive used to hide the monitor's row and Apply added a second, differently
linked row. Same-name rows are resolved to their physical identity
(normcase(realpath), else samefile); the dependency fingerprint covers all
of them, two rows refuse the choice, one row is enriched under the
ingester's compatible-only rules, and a same-name row the request did not
classify is a changed association.
Apply re-verifies only what the decision depends on: the bytes are still
ambiguous and still offer the chosen candidate. A resolver change that
rewords the reason or reorders candidates leaves pending items applicable.
The resolver version is one constant in prompt_pair_resolver, shared by
ingestion provenance and Needs review.
The transaction's byte check receives the re-hashed digest (or the body's
for Leave unresolved), every Apply refusal branch is tested with zero
writes, and the root listing and realpath calls run on a worker thread.
Needs review gains its queue reads and decisions:
- GET /prompt_manager/review/items lists pending items oldest first with
the exact pending total and an HMAC keyset cursor bound to the storage
epoch and the review index revision.
- GET /prompt_manager/review/items/{id} adds the candidates (role texts,
label, selectability), the dependency fingerprint and the digest.
- POST /prompt_manager/review/items/{id}/decision applies a candidate only
for a capture of the item's bytes that the current file still hashes to
and whose evidence is unchanged, through the ingester's compatible-only
rules in the same transaction as the decision row; a conflict writes
nothing. Leave unresolved records the decision and links nothing.
ingest_resolved_pair keeps its contract; its body moves into
_ingest_resolved_pair_in, which runs in the caller's transaction.
Items keep the file's recorded spelling so targets keep their case on
Windows, and a rescan skips the copy and hash of a file whose size and
mtime match the bytes an item already cites.
The output scan and the live monitor now queue every file the ingestion
resolver finds ambiguous for Needs review. The file is captured, its metadata
is read again from the capture and resolved with the default profile, and only
an ambiguous result is stored, bound to the capture's annotation byte record
and fenced by its storage epoch. Evidence holds one hashed projection per
selectable candidate; none, more than 16 or over 8 MiB is a limited item.
Recording is idempotent per bytes and evidence and never touches a decision.
Scan statuses, counters, outcome rows and legacy SSE events are unchanged; the
job scope gains review_items/review_errors and the log a Needs review line.
The monitor records after its fallback link, best effort.
