Research direction

Read #77 and #78 first, then inspect wavedoc/, internal/document/repository.go, and internal/web/handler/documents.go. Prototype the snapshot contract with a synthetic fixture covering interrupted downloads, revision changes, removed paths, and corrupt content. Done means a wire-format decision, documented consistency and retention rules, and small follow-up implementation tasks.

Description

android difficulty: expert enhancement help wanted needs testing

Roadmap: #76

Problem

The public API provides locale lists and individual documents, with no atomic offline-package contract. A client downloading multiple files across a server redeploy can otherwise mix revisions.

Scope

Specify and prototype a public documentation snapshot/export contract: stable revision identity, a manifest of paths/locales and content digests, retrieval consistency, size limits, and a clear response when a referenced snapshot is no longer available. Reuse embedded documentation; do not invent document bodies.

Done

  • Define how one manifest binds all files to a single published revision.
  • Specify translation/English fallback membership and Wave/Whale separation.
  • Demonstrate interrupted downloads, changed deployment revisions, removed paths, and corrupt content using a synthetic fixture/prototype.
  • Define retention, cache validation, and bounded generation costs; compare an export artifact with live API retrieval.
  • Produce the wire-format decision and small follow-up implementation tasks before shipping a new endpoint.

Start: wavedoc/, internal/document/repository.go, internal/web/handler/documents.go. This issue owns the consistency protocol; device cache implementation is a separate roadmap task.

Prerequisites: #77, #78.
