Recover from missing commits - Refactor

[myieye]

[Claude, autonomous]

Proposal for #119, meant to be read commit by commit:

• Merge the two send-decision helpers into one plan — PlanFor replaces SendCommitsAfterTimestamp + ShouldSendAllCommits, which each only answered half the question. No behaviour change.
• Fall back to timestamps when a peer sends no commit counts — an older peer sends only ClientHeads, so there is no hash or count to compare against. With Recover from missing commits #119 as is, syncing with such a peer that is already at the same head still returns all of that client's commits, on every sync. This treats a heads-only state the way sync worked before Recover from missing commits #119: timestamps only.
• Build the sync state from a single query — GetSyncState read the commits table twice with nothing holding the reads to one snapshot. Possible because the hash is now order-independent (XOR), which also drops the ORDER BY over the whole table and lets JsonSyncable stop buffering each file to sort it.
• Rename GetMissingCommits to GetCommitsMissingFromRemote — breaking for external callers.
• Compare whole client states before calling two clients in sync — the flip side of XOR: a commit id stored twice cancels out of the hash, so a hash match alone can hide a commit the other side is missing. ClientState is a record, so local == remote covers hash and count in one go. The test builds both states from real commits and checks the plan pushes them.
• Stream commits into the sync state builder — the single query still buffered every row before hashing; the builder only needs one at a time.
• Benchmark GetSyncState end to end — the query is ~99% of what GetSyncState costs; BuildSyncStateBenchmarks only covers the loop.

The hash change alters a value that goes over the wire, so it needs to land before #119 ships, not after.

GetSyncState at 100k commits on in-memory SQLite, same machine:

	Mean	Allocated
#119 (two queries, sorted)	186–200 ms	47.7 MB
single query, buffered	110–113 ms	59.3 MB
single query, streamed	102–103 ms	42.7 MB

The remaining allocation is the SQLite provider storing Guid and DateTime as TEXT, so every row parses three strings; every version pays that.

Nothing in CI runs the Benchmarks project (the benchmark step runs DataModelPerformanceBenchmarks from the Tests project). BuildSyncStateBenchmarks is in-memory and low-noise, so it's a good candidate to add there if the hot loop should be guarded.

Walkthrough

Sync-state construction now aggregates timestamped commits asynchronously. Client states track commit count, maximum timestamp, and an order-independent hash. Missing-commit selection uses client-state comparisons and timestamp filtering in both queryable and enumerable paths. The JSON-backed implementation uses the updated state construction and selection methods. Tests cover commit ordering, duplicate commits, and timestamp-only states. Benchmarks cover building and retrieving sync state.

Document the rename of the public GetMissingCommits API.

GetMissingCommits is a public extension method in both its IQueryable and IEnumerable overloads. The rename to GetCommitsMissingFromRemote breaks compilation for external callers. The PR description already calls this change breaking. You can either add a changelog entry with a migration note, or keep an [Obsolete] forwarding overload for one release.

Based on learnings: "flag modifications that break backward compatibility ... require it to be clearly documented (changelog, deprecation notice) along with a migration path".

♻️ Optional compatibility shim

[Obsolete("Use GetCommitsMissingFromRemote")]
public static IAsyncEnumerable<TCommit> GetMissingCommits<TCommit, TChange>(
    this IQueryable<TCommit> commits, SyncState localState, SyncState remoteState,
    bool includeChangeEntities = true) where TCommit : CommitBase<TChange> =>
    commits.GetCommitsMissingFromRemote<TCommit, TChange>(localState, remoteState, includeChangeEntities);
