Not one byte of a note was lost. Every failure traces back to a single sentence: two sync systems each believed they owned the same tree, and each interpreted the other&rsquo;s behaviour as changes to sync.</p> <p>I have written this shape of post before. <a href="https://wjmaritz.dev/posts/zimaboard-raid1-rebuild/">RAID1 saved my data but not the state around it</a>, and <a href="https://wjmaritz.dev/posts/sqlite-trap-epilogue/">a trap I had published a warning about caught my own app the same day</a>. This one belongs to both families: the data was never in danger, the state lied about it, and the limit that made it all worse was documented in a workbook I had read and dismissed as something that happens to other people.</p>
