What changed

Starting over while a scan's archive was still being assembled could delete its folder before scan.zip existed. Cleanup now waits for the packet-writer chain before deleting its original list of old folders. Start over itself stays immediate.

The writer also rejects packet inputs from a previous scan before changing the current scan's sharing state.

This follows #210 and targets its frozen codex/candidate-20261003 branch. The branch starts from main, so it also preserves #194's push-review configuration. Neither main nor #210 has been advanced.

Why

The existing check protects a partial ZIP, but packet assembly happens before the ZIP is created. Waiting only in cleanup protects that earlier stage without adding a saving screen, a persistent marker or an age-based deletion rule. Keeping the original folder listing prevents a delayed cleanup from deleting a newer scan.

Verification

  • Added deterministic package regressions for an active writer, successful completion, failed assembly, partial ZIP retention, launch with no writer and repeated resets. The tests acknowledge that cleanup reached its wait before asserting that files remain.
  • Local package and app-build jobs were refused by the shared resource queue. Neither suite ran locally. Hosted package tests and the app build are pending on this PR.
  • A separate standalone driver exercised the production cleanup and archive helpers, including a no-wait mutation. That is supporting evidence, not execution of the Swift Testing file or app target.
  • Source review confirms that reset still has no suspension and the generation guard suppresses publication of an old scan's archive.

Risk

This protects active packet writes from this app's cleanup. It does not guarantee completion if the app is killed or storage fails. A queued write superseded before it starts is still skipped. Raw recorder-byte immutability and physical-device behavior are not established by these tests. Existing partial-archive retention is unchanged.

Two accepted trade-offs, from Codex's P2 review of a76ba4d4. Both follow from making deletion wait for the write chain, so a folder is never deleted while its packet is being written:

  • More than two completed archives can stay on disk for a while. If a write that was still assembling its packet finishes during the wait, the recheck keeps its folder, but nothing evicts the oldest completed scan the listing had kept. The extra archives are tied to writes that complete during a wait, and remain until the next store is created (the next Start over or launch), which lists again and trims to the two newest. Saved scans shows only the newest two throughout. Nobody has measured how large the archives are. Re-ranking after the wait, limited to the folders in the original listing, would be a separate change to the retention policy and is not needed for this fix.
  • Reclaiming space waits for the write. The cleanup deletes nothing until the write chain ends, including old folders no write can touch. On a nearly full phone, the save can therefore fail for lack of space where freeing that old data first might have let it succeed. Deleting some folders early would rely on an undocumented ordering between writes and retention, and would still leave photo-only folders waiting, so this PR adds no second deletion mode. The existing error handling stays, and the app still promises no saved file before the zip is complete.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Saved scans now retain completed scans until two newer completed scans are available. Cleanup waits for an in-progress bundle write before deciding which folders to keep.
    • Greptile reviews are triggered when pull requests are opened and when commits are pushed.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented scan bundles from being saved to a store other than the current scan’s store.
    • Scan folders with failed bundle writes remain eligible for cleanup; incomplete bundles are not listed as saved scans.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified how starting over interacts with active bundle writes and scan cleanup.

chore(review): run Greptile again when PR commits change
Preserve main's push-review configuration while carrying the unchanged
tested 485f1a6 app into a separate continuation branch.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
Start over makes a new store, whose cleanup lists the previous scan's folder at once. While
that scan's packet is still being assembled there is no scan.zip yet, so the folder was listed
as never packaged and deleted from under the write, and the scan never reached Saved scans.

Start over still doesn't wait. The new store's deferred deletion waits for the bundle write
chain as it stood at reset (ScanFolderCleanup.run(after:)), then rechecks as before: a bundle
that landed keeps its folder, a write that failed before zipping leaves it to be deleted, and a
partial zip stays protected. Launch passes no writer and deletes at once.

saveBundle also refuses inputs read from an earlier store before it touches the serial or the
offered bundle, so the folder ownership holds locally rather than through its callers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR enables Greptile reviews on pushes and updates contributor guidance. In iOS, scan-folder cleanup can wait for known bundle writes before deleting candidates. The scan engine passes the current write task to cleanup and rejects bundle inputs from a different store directory.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to a76ba

The change protects archives being assembled and strengthens checks that prevent an earlier scan from changing the current scan’s sharing state. The affected data remains in on-device scan storage. Limited uncertainty remains around interruption recovery and validation that has not yet been executed.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected storage transition affects scan folders and archive-sharing state within one app instance. Its deletion targets come from the app’s scan-cache root, and reset creates a new UUID-named folder. The repository review trigger is a separate control change; its configuration does not establish wider service or environment authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Scan identity is enforced at the transition from captured packet inputs to mutable sharing state. Inputs naming another store are rejected before state mutation, and generation and attempt-serial checks prevent an old or superseded writer from publishing into the current scan. Reset also clears the current shareable URL.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The bundle dependency survives repeated resets because reset does not clear it, and each replacement bundle task captures and awaits its predecessor. Separate keyframe saves retain their old store reference and check generation before writing and before updating current state; they are not all awaited by cleanup. That separate-save limitation predates the new bundle wait.

[Medium risk] Changes scan folder cleanup and bundle write sequencing.

The PR appears safe to merge based on the reviewed changes; no outstanding or new actionable finding was established.

Summary

The PR delays deletion of previously listed scan folders until the active bundle-writer chain finishes, while keeping Start over immediate. It also rejects packet inputs from an earlier scan before changing the current scan’s sharing state. The latest changes strengthen the retention tests and clarify the documented outcomes for completed, failed, and partial bundles.

Review found the test held only the first write. The second write ran unheld and rebuilt its
folder after waiting, so a cleanup waiting for the wrong write could still pass, by scheduling or
by that rebuild.

Each write's end now releases the cleanups waiting for it and records which, under a lock, so
the test checks that the first write released only the first cleanup. The second scan's inputs
are made before the second cleanup lists, its write is held before zipping and checks that its
inputs are still there instead of recreating them, and the two async tests have a one-minute
time limit.

P2 Badge Reapply retention after the awaited writer finishes

When cleanup starts while two completed scans already exist and the previous scan is still assembling its packet, the snapshot keeps the two completed folders and marks the active folder obsolete. After the wait, that folder's new completed bundle no longer matches listedAs, so run() skips it without evicting the oldest completed folder. This leaves three completed archives on disk, and repeated rapid start-overs can leave more, until another cleanup happens; SavedScanCatalog hides the extras because it still returns only two. Recalculate retention among the originally listed folders after the writer finishes while continuing to exclude folders created after the snapshot.

Confirmed. If two completed scans exist and the previous scan is still packing, the listing keeps the two and marks the packing folder obsolete. After the write lands, run() skips that folder (its entry changed from .absent to .complete) and evicts nothing, so three archives stay on disk. The extra is bounded: the next store creation (the next Start over or launch) lists again and trims back to the two newest, and Saved scans lists only those two in the meantime. Fixing it means ranking completed scans again after the wait, including folders the listing kept, so it changes the listing-time retention rule this PR builds on. I have routed it to the PR's acceptance owner and left this thread open.

Disposition: accepted as a trade-off of this fix, recorded in the PR's Risk section, with no code change here. The requirement for B44 is that no folder is deleted while its packet is being written, not that the phone holds exactly two archives at every moment. After a write completes during the wait, more completed archives can stay on disk until the next store is created; the next Start over or launch lists again and trims to the two newest. Saved scans shows only the newest two meanwhile. Correcting my earlier reply: I can't claim a fixed bound. The extra archives come from writes that complete during a wait, and nobody has measured their size. Ranking again after the wait, limited to the folders in the original listing, would be a separate retention-policy change, not part of this fix. Leaving this open for human review.

P2 Badge Delete unrelated obsolete scans before waiting

When Start over runs on a nearly full device and the snapshot contains both the active writer's folder and unrelated obsolete scans, this unconditional wait postpones every deletion until packet writing finishes. zipPacket must create scan.zip while the assembled packet still occupies disk space, so that writer can fail for lack of space even though cleanup already identified old folders that could have been removed safely; the cleanup frees them only after the archive has been lost. Delete obsolete paths that no captured writer can touch immediately, and defer only the writer-owned folders.

Confirmed. run(after:) waits before deleting anything, so obsolete folders that no in-flight write can touch also wait for the packing write. Those are older completed scans past the two kept places, abandoned folders that were never packaged, and stray files. On a nearly full phone, that space isn't freed until after the zip is written. Splitting the deletion needs a rule for which folders the write chain can touch. The cleanup doesn't know that today, because every never-packaged folder looks the same. So it's a design change, not a bounds fix. I have routed it to the PR's acceptance owner and left this thread open.

The cost is real: on a nearly full phone the save can fail for lack of space, where deleting unrelated old data first might have let it finish. The choice favors never deleting source data from under a write.
