The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). +## [0.2.4] - 2026-06-24 + +### Added + +- **Restore audit.** Full restore subsystem audit at Docs/Restore/V0_2_4_RESTORE_AUDIT.md covering entry points, validation flow, Nix operations, mutation flow, event recording, rollback/recovery, drift detection, 13 failure modes, and 10 gaps. (Phase 1) +- **Dry-run support.** `root restore root.lock --dry-run` reports the restore plan (will install, remove, keep, update) without mutating the Rootfile, root.lock, Nix profile, or event ledger. Supports human and JSON output. (Phase 2) +- **Pre-restore validation.** Lockfile schema, store paths, platform compatibility, Nix availability, experimental features (nix-command, flakes), and Root profile existence are all validated before any mutation. `.drv` paths in outputs are rejected with clear errors. (Phase 3) +- **Partial failure recovery.** If restore fails mid-operation, Root captures a pre-restore snapshot, preserves previous Rootfile/root.lock, and automatically rolls back the Nix profile. If recovery fails, clear instructions are provided for manual rollback. (Phase 4) +- **Strengthened drift detection.** `root status` now detects missing output paths per package, `.drv` paths in lockfiles, and platform mismatches in addition to existing name-based drift checks. (Phase 5) +- **Restore event ledger.** New `RestorePlanned` and `RestoreRecovered` event types, new `Planned` event status, and event fields for `failure_phase`, `installed_count`, `removed_count`, `kept_count`. Restore operations record detailed events at every stage. (Phase 6) +- **Restore error normalization.** Clear, actionable error messages for all restore failure modes: invalid lockfile, incompatible platform, missing Nix, missing experimental features, `.drv` output paths, profile validation failure, partial restore failure, failed recovery, stale mutation lock, and permission denied. (Phase 7) +- **Restore smoke tests.** New smoke test document at Docs/Release/V0_2_4_RESTORE_SMOKE_TEST.md covering clean restore, dry-run, invalid lockfile, partial failure, and drift detection scenarios. (Phase 8) +- **Restore documentation.** New reference document at Docs/Restore/V0_2_4_RESTORE_NOTES.md.

Known Failure Modes + +### 8.1 Invalid lockfile + +**What happens:** `validate_store_paths()` is called before any mutation. +**Code path:** `restore()` → `lib.rs:2827-2830` → `root-lockfile/src/lib.rs:629-703` +**Error messages:** +- `"Invalid Root lockfile: package X.Y has a derivation path where an output path was expected"` +- `"Lockfile at {} failed validation before restore"` +**Test:** `test_restore_rejects_invalid_lockfile_before_mutation` (lib.rs:5333-5353) +**Exit code:** 1 (generic failure) + +### 8.2 `.drv` path in output path + +**What happens:** Caught at two layers: +1. At resolution time: `deterministic_package_from_resolution()` (lib.rs:1165-1172) rejects `.drv` outputs +2. At validation time: `validate_store_paths()` (root-lockfile/src/lib.rs:667-669) rejects `.drv` in `store_paths` + +**Error:** +- `"Root resolved a derivation path but no realized output path for {}. Expected an output store path, got: {}"` +- `"Invalid Root lockfile: package {}.out has a derivation path where an output path was expected"` +**Recovery:** User must fix the lockfile or provide a valid one. The restore is gated. + +### 8.3 Missing package metadata (unsupported package) + +**What happens:** Restore from an externally-created lockfile can contain packages Root doesn't know about via `resolve_package()`. +**Code path:** `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` does NOT call `resolve_package()` to gate installation — it installs whatever packages are in the lockfile. `resolve_package()` is only used for `binaries` in `validate_mutation_result()` (lib.rs:2634), returning `&[]` for unknown packages. +**Impact:** Binary validation is skipped for unknown packages. Install and verify still run. Minimal risk. + +### 8.4 Missing Nix + +**What happens:** `NixAdapter` methods return `NixError::NotInstalled` (exit code 7). +**Code path:** Any Nix call from `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` → adapter method → `run_command()` → `Command::new("nix")` fails. +**Error:** `"Failed to install '{}': Nix is not installed or not available on PATH."` +**Exit code:** 7 +**Test:** `test_diagnostics_no_nix` (root-doctor/tests) + +### 8.5 Missing experimental features + +**What happens:** Nix commands like `nix profile` and `nix eval` fail with experimental feature errors. +**Code path:** `doctor()` detects this via `probe_experimental_features()`. For restore: the first Nix subcommand will fail. +**Error:** Varies by Nix version — `"experimental feature 'nix-command' is not enabled"` or similar. +**Recovery:** Follow doctor suggestion to add `experimental-features = nix-command flakes` to `nix.conf`. + +### 8.6 Package resolution failure + +**What happens:** Not applicable to restore — restore does NOT call `resolve_locked_package()`. It uses the installable string already stored in the lockfile (`package.installable`). +**Potential failure:** If the installable references a nixpkgs revision that no longer exists (e.g., a Git SHA that was garbage-collected), `adapter.install_installable()` will fail. +**Error:** From Nix — store path not found, or build failure. + +### 8.7 Install failure mid-restore + +**What happens:** `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` loops over target packages. If the third of five packages fails to install: +1. A `Failed` event is recorded for that package +2. The **entire function** returns an error +3. **No rollback** of the previously installed packages occurs +4. The mutation lock is released (via `Drop`) + +**Impact:** Partial install — some target packages may be installed, others not. +**Code path:** lib.rs:2600-2610 (install error handling) +**Error:** `"root restore failed to install '{}': {}"` +**Recovery:** User must run `root rollback --last` (pre-rollback snapshot exists). Or run `root restore` again (idempotent for already-installed packages). +**Test gap:** No test verifies mid-restore failure atomically reverts changes. + +### 8.8 Profile mutation failure + +**What happens:** After a successful `adapter.install_installable()`, `validate_mutation_result()` checks generation changed and expected paths exist. +**Code path:** lib.rs:2643-2662 +**Error:** `"root restore mutation validation failed for '{}': Profile mutation validation failed: ..."` +**Cause (non-exhaustive):** Generation didn't change (Nix profile wasn't actually updated). Missing output paths. `.drv` paths in outputs. +**Recovery:** Same as 8.7 — manual rollback or retry. + +### 8.9 Verification failure after restore + +**What happens:** `verify_profile_contains_outputs()` (lib.rs:1286-1311) checks every store path in the package's `store_paths` map appears in `nix profile list --json` output. +**Code path:** lib.rs:2612-2631 +**Error:** `"Installed profile did not contain locked Nix store path {}"` or `"Refusing to verify .drv path as an installed output"` +**Recovery:** Manual rollback or retry. + +### 8.10 Interrupted restore (crash between Nix mutations and lockfile write) + +**What happens:** If the process is killed after `save_lock_v2(target_lock)?` but before the final event record (or after some packages installed but before `save_lock_v2`): +- **Case A (installed some packages, crash before save_lock_v2):** Nix profile has packages that lockfile doesn't know about. `root sync` will detect drift (`profile-lockfile-mismatch`) and attempt to remove extra packages. +- **Case B (installed some packages, crash after save_lock_v2):** Lockfile is written but Rootfile may be in the wrong state (file ops are atomic via `atomic_write` but separated). Running `root sync` will detect rootfile-lockfile drift. +- **Case C (crash during remove loop):** Some packages removed from profile but still in lockfile. `root sync` will re-install them. + +**Safeguards:** +- Pre-mutation snapshot preserves the initial state +- `root rollback --last` can restore the snapshot +- `root sync` reconciles profile with lockfile + +**Current limitation:** No crash recovery mechanism is automatically triggered. Manual intervention required. + +### 8.11 Stale mutation lock + +**What happens:** `MutationGuard::acquire()` (lib.rs:600-637) at restore start. +- If lock file exists: checks if the PID listed in the lockfile is alive via `kill -0 ` +- If PID is alive: error — `"Another Root mutation is in progress (PID {}). If this is unexpected, delete ~/.root/root.lockfile and try again."` +- If PID is dead: removes stale lock, retries +- If lock file is unreadable: error — `"Lock file ~/.root/root.lockfile exists and could not be read. Delete it manually and try again."` +**Drop:** Lock file is removed on `MutationGuard` drop (lib.rs:674-678). + +### 8.12 Profile drift before restore + +**What happens:** `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` reads current profile via `profile_packages(adapter)` (lib.rs:2555). If the profile was manually modified (e.g., `nix profile remove` outside Root), restore will correctly handle it — extra packages are removed, missing packages installed. +**If profile is completely broken** (e.g., symlink corrupted): `profile_packages()` returns error → `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` fails fast. +**Recovery:** `root doctor` to diagnose profile issues. + +### 8.13 Profile drift after restore + +**What happens:** The restore is a point-in-time reconciliation. After restore succeeds, any subsequent manual Nix operations will cause drift. +**Detection:** `root status` or `root doctor --check` will detect `lockfile-profile-mismatch` or `profile-lockfile-mismatch`. +**Recovery:** `root sync` re-reconciles. + +--- + +## 9. Current Gaps and Limitations + +### 9.1 No automatic rollback on failure + +If `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` fails mid-way (e.g., 3 of 5 packages installed successfully then a 4th fails), the partially-applied state is not automatically rolled back. The pre-mutation snapshot makes manual rollback possible (`root rollback --last`), but recovery is not automatic. + +### 9.2 Non-atomic Nix + file writes + +The sequence in `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` is: +1. Nix installs (multiple, sequential) +2. Nix removes (multiple, sequential) +3. Write lockfile +4. Write Rootfile + +A crash between any of these steps leaves inconsistent state. The pre-mutation snapshot is the sole recovery mechanism. + +### 9.3 No atomicity between multiple Nix operations + +Each `adapter.install_installable()` and `adapter.remove()` is a separate `nix profile` invocation. If the user kills the process during the loop, some packages may be installed but not others. Nix profiles do not support transactional batch operations. + +### 9.4 Legacy v1 lockfallback can produce nondeterministic locks + +When restoring from a v1 lockfile, `to_v2()` sets `installable: Some(package.attribute)` where `attribute` is just the package name (e.g., `"ffmpeg"`). The resulting lock lacks a pinned nixpkgs revision in the installable (no `github:NixOS/nixpkgs/#ffmpeg`), meaning the resolved package depends on what `nixpkgs` currently points to. + +### 9.5 No timeout for Nix operations during restore + +Long-running Nix builds during restore have no configurable timeout. A stuck build blocks the mutation lock indefinitely. + +### 9.6 No restore from snapshot file + +Restore only accepts a lockfile path. Restoring from a snapshot (which also contains a full lock) requires manually extracting the lock from the snapshot JSON file. + +### 9.7 No `--dry-run` mode for restore + +There is no way to preview what changes a restore would make. Users must read the lockfile manually or infer from `root status`. + +### 9.8 Test coverage gaps + +| Scenario | Tested? | +|----------|---------| +| Restore from shared v2 lock | Yes | +| Restore rejects invalid lockfile pre-mutation | Yes | +| Rollback verifies store paths | Yes | +| Sync rejects invalid lockfile | Yes | +| Mid-restore failure recovery | **No** — no test verifies behavior | +| Crash between Nix ops and file writes | **No** | +| Restore with no existing lockfile | **No** | +| Restore from v1 lockfile | **No** | +| Mutation lock stale recovery | **No** | +| Concurrent restore (second process blocked) | **No** | + +### 9.9 Policy enforcement only at entry points + +`enforce_policy(PolicyAction::Restore, ...)` is called at the `restore()` top level, not within `reconcile_profile_to_lock()`. The function `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` is shared with `sync()`, which also does its own policy check at its entry point. + +### 9.10 Snapshot deduplication + +Every call to `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` creates a snapshot before any change, even if the current lock hasn't changed since the last snapshot.

For restore: the first Nix subcommand will fail. -**Error:** Varies by Nix version — `"experimental feature 'nix-command' is not enabled"` or similar. +**What happens:** `restore_validate()` probes via `adapter.probe_experimental_features()` and fails closed before mutation. +**Code path:** `restore_validate` `lib.rs:2917-2950` +**Error:** `"Restore validation failed: Nix experimental feature 'nix-command' is not enabled."` (or `flakes`, or both) **Recovery:** Follow doctor suggestion to add `experimental-features = nix-command flakes` to `nix.conf`. ### 8.6 Package resolution failure **What happens:** Not applicable to restore — restore does NOT call `resolve_locked_package()`. It uses the installable string already stored in the lockfile (`package.installable`). **Potential failure:** If the installable references a nixpkgs revision that no longer exists (e.g., a Git SHA that was garbage-collected), `adapter.install_installable()` will fail. -**Error:** From Nix — store path not found, or build failure. +**Error:** From Nix — store path not found, or build failure.

A crash that leaves a live-looking PID (or a lock the process cannot unlink) also needs manual delete. ### 8.12 Profile drift before restore -**What happens:** `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` reads current profile via `profile_packages(adapter)` (lib.rs:2555). If the profile was manually modified (e.g., `nix profile remove` outside Root), restore will correctly handle it — extra packages are removed, missing packages installed. -**If profile is completely broken** (e.g., symlink corrupted): `profile_packages()` returns error → `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` fails fast. +**What happens:** `reconcile_profile_to_lock()` reads current profile via `profile_packages(adapter)` (`lib.rs:2565`).

After restore succeeds, any subsequent manual Nix operations will cause drift. -**Detection:** `root status` or `root doctor --check` will detect `lockfile-profile-mismatch` or `profile-lockfile-mismatch`. +**Detection:** `root status` or `root doctor --check` will detect `lockfile-profile-mismatch`, `profile-lockfile-mismatch`, or `lockfile-output-missing`. **Recovery:** `root sync` re-reconciles. +### 8.14 Dry-run of an invalid lock + +**What happens:** `restore_dry_run()` calls `restore_validate()` and returns without a plan. +**Test:** `test_restore_dry_run_rejects_invalid_lockfile` (`lib.rs:6217`) +**Side effect:** no `RestorePlanned` event (recording happens after validation). + --- ## 9.
