DanConwayDev 08d38fdeae fix(sync): retry related policy orphans
Repository comments, reactions, zap requests, and other related events can arrive before the event or repository address that makes them admissible. Sync previously discarded these restricted policy orphans, making arrival order a permanent coverage gap.

Persist full dependency-sensitive related events in a bounded seven-day index, match later accepted references in both directions, and reprocess an iterative bounded closure. Keep cached dependency failures pending in exact-ID hydration and expose retained count through the fixed-cardinality state metric.

The index is capped at 1,024 events, 8 MiB total, 128 KiB per event, and 512 attempts per trigger. Recursive remote discovery and participant mailbox probing remain separate stacked changes.

Validated with 754 library tests, focused forward/backward/persistence/eviction and policy reprocessing tests, formatting, and clippy across all targets with warnings denied.

ngit-grasp Documentation

Welcome to the ngit-grasp documentation! We use the Diátaxis framework to organize our documentation into four types, each serving a different purpose.

DEPRECATED - Being migrated to Diátaxis structure:

  • Gotchas → How-To Guides
  • Patterns → Reference or Explanation
  • Notes → Appropriate category

🤝 Contributing to Documentation

When adding documentation, ask yourself:

Is it a tutorial?

  • Does it teach a beginner?
  • Is it a complete lesson with guaranteed outcome?
  • → Add to tutorials/

Is it a how-to guide?

  • Does it solve a specific problem?
  • Is it a recipe for accomplishing a task?
  • → Add to how-to/

Is it reference material?

  • Is it technical information?
  • Will people look it up when needed?
  • → Add to reference/

Is it explanation?

  • Does it explain "why"?
  • Does it discuss alternatives or design?
  • → Add to explanation/

See Diátaxis documentation for more guidance.
