//! Deterministic snapshot of the document at agreed base heads. //! //! Every node builds the snapshot of a committed compaction on its own. For that to //! work, the snapshot must be byte-identical everywhere: same operations, same order, //! same actor, same timestamp. Its change hash then identifies the new epoch, and a //! node whose build produces a different hash knows it must fetch the snapshot instead. //! //! Determinism rests on: //! * the content: the merged view at the base heads (`store::materialize_into`), which //! depends only on the base, not on how a node's history got there; //! * a fixed actor derived from the compaction ID and generation; //! * commit time 0 and no message; //! * canonical (sorted) JSON for the metadata; //! * the same Automerge version on every node (encodings may differ across versions). //! //! The snapshot carries its own metadata under `_continuum/epochs/`: //! previous epoch, base heads, per-actor clock and retention policy. Later steps read it //! at the snapshot change itself, so edits made afterwards through the store API can't //! change what the protocol sees. // `Snapshot::clock` is kept for returning nodes (step 7); late nodes read the clock from // the metadata instead. #![cfg_attr(not(test), allow(dead_code))] use std::collections::BTreeMap; use automerge::{transaction::CommitOptions, ActorId, AutoCommit, ChangeHash}; use serde_json::{json, Map as JsonMap, Value as JsonValue}; use sha2::{Digest, Sha256}; use super::records::{EpochRecord, Policy}; use crate::replica::Epoch; use crate::store::{self, StoreError}; pub(crate) const META_ROOT: &str = "_continuum"; pub(crate) const COMPACTIONS: &str = "compactions"; pub(crate) const EPOCHS: &str = "epochs"; /// Everything that determines a snapshot besides the base content. pub(crate) struct SnapshotParams<'a> { /// ID of the committed compaction; seeds the snapshot actor. pub(crate) compaction_id: &'a str, /// The epoch being compacted.
