Make note/resource moves all-or-nothing (GH #230) - #245
Conversation
A move rewrote inbound link text before renaming, with no undo, so a move refused at the rename (a destination beneath a regular file) left backlinks pointing at a path that never came to exist. Reindexing couldn't repair it: it projects whatever the Markdown says. The vault half of every move (note, resource, folder) is now all or nothing: - the destination is refused up front when an ancestor is a regular file; - every inbound rewrite is read and computed before the first write; - the writes, the destination folders the move creates and the rename run as one commit that undoes itself, in reverse, if a later step fails. An undo step that itself fails surfaces as Error::MoveIncomplete naming the files still holding a rewrite, with messages in the CLI and the desktop app. The docs now say what the guarantee actually is: all or nothing on the vault, index repaired by reindex after the rename, and a crash between rewrite and rename finished by re-running the same move.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Note, resource, and directory moves now plan link rewrites first and undo their changes if a later step fails, which lowers the chance of a half-applied move. Two small follow-ups remain. One documentation sentence sits under the wrong bullet. When a move fails and B2 cannot fully undo it, the error that caused the failure may be missing from the logs. Neither issue affects vault contents, and the change is mergeable with these follow-ups noted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Summary
Implements an all-or-nothing contract for move operations: if a move fails after inbound link rewrites have been written, those rewrites are rolled back and the vault is left byte-identical to its pre-move state. This fixes GH #230, where a failed move could leave the vault with rewritten links pointing to a destination that was never created, and reindexing cannot repair such broken links.
Key Changes
New
refuse_file_ancestor()check: Validates that no ancestor of the destination path is a regular file before any writes happen. This catches the GH Failed move rewrites backlinks before rejecting the destination, leaving broken links #230 scenario (moving under a file) before touching inbound files.Refactored move workflow into two phases:
plan_inbound(): Reads all inbound files and computes rewrites in memory without writing anything. Fails fast if any file can't be read, while the vault is still untouched.commit(): Applies all planned rewrites, creates destination folders, and performs the rename as one atomic unit. If any step fails,undo()reverses earlier steps in reverse order.Transactional undo on failure:
Donevectorundo()restores original file contents and removes created foldersMoveIncompleteerror naming the files that couldn't be restored, so the user can check them manuallyNew
MoveIncompleteerror type: Carries the vault-relative paths of files still holding a rewrite after a failed undo, allowing users to identify and fix broken links by hand.Applied to all three move operations:
move_note(),move_resource(), andmove_dir()all use the sameplan_inbound()+commit()pattern.Recovery path for interrupted moves: If a move crashes between rewrites and rename (the one unguarded window), re-running the same move detects that rewrites are already done and completes just the rename, finishing the operation.
Implementation Details
Rewritestruct holds a file's original and rewritten bytes, soundo()can restore them.Planstruct collects all rewrites before any writes, enabling the all-or-nothing property.undo()removes only folders the move created, not pre-existing ones.apply(), so once it succeeds the vault is final; any later failure (re-keying or re-projecting the index) leaves correct Markdown thatb2 reindexcan project.Tests
