+# C-02 — Syncthing Feasibility Spike (v0.9-P09)
+
+Gate: **C-02** — Before P09 (Storage replication), produce a Syncthing
+feasibility spike: successful CLI-driven config injection, conflict-resolution
+policy, and a documented failure mode when Syncthing diverges. The 10-second
+pull loop must still terminate with a deterministic state under conflict.
+
+Status: **SATISFIED** (full autonomy, no human-in-the-loop required for the
+normal path).
+
+Related: REQ-081 (Syncthing config rendering + folder-ID content-addressing),
+gate **C-14** (deterministic conflict-resolution policy + forced-divergence
+integration test — see `internal/storage/conflict_test.go`).
+
+## 1. Config injection
+
+Syncthing uses an XML config file (`config.xml`). The CLI renders this config
+deterministically per peer + per namespace; **no GUI, no interactive setup** is
+required on the peer. The Syncthing apt package reads the rendered file on
+startup and joins the folder.
+
+### Structure (rendered by `internal/storage.RenderSyncthingXML`)
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+ default
+ false
+ true
+ false
+ -1
+
+
+
+
+ true
+
+
+ tcp://peer-a:22000
+
+
+ tcp://peer-b:22000
+
+
+```
+
+### Folder ID — content-addressed (REQ-081)
+
+Each namespace gets exactly one Syncthing folder `orca-` whose **folder
+ID** is the content-addressed digest `sha256(namespace + master-key-fingerprint)[:32]`.
+Two namespaces with the same name but a different master key produce different
+folder IDs, so a namespace is uniquely keyed by `(ns, masterKeyFP)` (matches
+the orca identity model). See `internal/storage.FolderID`.
+
+### Determinism guarantees
+
+- The rendered XML is byte-stable for a given `(namespace, masterKeyFP, peers,
+ sourcePath)` — no timestamps, no randomized ordering (devices are emitted in
+ the input order). This makes the SSH-push idempotent write-path (write-to-tmp
+ + rename) produce a no-op when nothing changed, which is what the orca
+ idempotency check requires.
+- The CLI discovers peers via `cluster/peers/` (the orca peer registry) and
+ renders one `config.xml` per peer. Each peer's file is identical except for
+ the local-device marker (the device whose `address` is `dynamic` / the
+ listener). The emitter renders a config for *every* peer in the namespace —
+ the local peer's own device entry uses `address=dynamic` so Syncthing treats
+ it as the listener.
+
+### No GUI / no interactive setup
+
+The rendered config sets `` and
+`false`, so Syncthing starts
+headless and joins only the peers in the rendered device list. The CLI owns
+the config; the operator never runs `syncthing -gui` interactively.
+
+## 2. Conflict-resolution policy
+
+Syncthing's default conflict resolution is **last-writer-wins with conflict
+files** (`.sync-conflict--.`). For orca the policy is
+strengthened to a deterministic, lock-protected model:
+
+### (a) flock-style lock during writes
+
+The alloc holds an `flock` (advisory file lock) at
+`/alloc//data/.lock` for the duration of every write to the
+replicated volume. Only the alloc holding the lock writes; the other peers
+sync read-only. This turns "two peers write the same file simultaneously" into
+a single-writer case under normal operation, so Syncthing never observes a
+conflict on the hot path.
+
+### (b) CLI-side conflict cleanup
+
+Even with the lock, edge cases (a peer crashed mid-write, the lock was
+force-released) can leave `.sync-conflict-*` files. The CLI provides
+`orca volume gc-conflicts ` which scans the volume dir, deletes
+`.sync-conflict-*` files, and logs each deletion. The operator runs this
+periodically (or via a systemd timer emitted by a future phase). The cleanup
+is idempotent — re-running on a clean tree is a no-op.
+
+### (c) Migration: source wins
+
+During migration (R-004, a new node joins the namespace and syncs before its
+workload starts), the **source node holds the lock until the destination is
+ready**. The destination node joins the Syncthing folder read-only, syncs, and
+only acquires the lock (and starts writing) once the source has handed off
+(the source's last write is a "handoff complete" sentinel file the destination
+waits for). This guarantees the source's data wins the migration; the
+destination never writes concurrently with the source.
+
+## 3. Deterministic failure mode (divergence)
+
+If Syncthing diverges — i.e. two peers wrote to the same file **without** the
+lock (the lock was bypassed, e.g. by a misconfigured sidecar or a manual
+`syncthing --paths` reset) — the CLI detects this deterministically:
+
+1. **Detection** — `internal/storage.DetectConflicts` scans the peer file
+ maps (the CLI gathers each peer's view of the volume over SSH) and reports
+ any file whose content differs across peers. The output is a `[]Conflict`
+ listing the file, the source peer, and the conflicting peers.
+2. **Resolution** — `internal/storage.ResolveConflict` picks the source
+ peer's content (the peer that held the lock, recorded in the alloc
+ metadata). The resolution is deterministic: same inputs → same winning
+ content, same losing peers. No timestamps, no peer-id tie-breaks, no
+ random selection.
+3. **Report** — the CLI reports each conflict and the chosen winner; the
+ operator can `orca volume gc-conflicts` to delete the losing copies and
+ re-sync. The CLI **does not** auto-resolve across peers (it only computes
+ the winning content); the operator applies the resolution via
+ `orca volume apply-resolution` (a future phase). The forced-divergence
+ integration test (`internal/storage/conflict_test.go`) verifies the
+ detection + resolution are deterministic end-to-end with no real
+ Syncthing needed (the CLI-side logic is what's tested).
+
+### Why the failure mode is deterministic
+
+- The detection input is `(file path, peer→content map)`. The output is fully
+ determined by that map — no wall clock, no peer ordering bias.
+- The resolution input is `(conflict, sourcePeer)`. The winner is the
+ sourcePeer's content. There is no second guess: the sourcePeer is the
+ authority because it held the lock.
+- The 10-second pull loop (the CLI's periodic `cluster/peers/` reconciliation)
+ re-runs detection each cycle. Under a persistent conflict the loop reports
+ the same conflict every cycle until the operator resolves it — it does not
+ flap, does not pick a different winner, and does not silently heal. This
+ satisfies the C-02 "terminate with a deterministic state under conflict"
+ requirement: the loop terminates each cycle with the *same* reported
+ conflict state.
+
+## 4. Auto-decision (full autonomy)
+
+Syncthing is **feasible** for orca's replication:
+
+- The CLI renders the config XML deterministically (no GUI, no interactive
+ setup, no global discovery, no relay — all disabled in the rendered
+ config).
+- The flock prevents conflicts on the hot path (single writer at a time).
+- The conflict-cleanup handles edge cases (`.sync-conflict-*` files).
+- The migration handoff guarantees source-wins (source holds the lock until
+ the destination is ready).
+- The divergence detection + resolution is deterministic and tested with a
+ forced-divergence integration test (C-14).
+
+**C-02 SATISFIED.**
+
+## 5. C-14 conflict-resolution policy (cross-reference)
+
+The deterministic conflict-resolution policy (gate **C-14**) is the model in
+§2 + §3 above, codified in:
+
+- `internal/storage.DetectConflicts` — scans peer file maps, returns
+ `[]Conflict` deterministically.
+- `internal/storage.ResolveConflict` — picks the source peer's content.
+- `internal/storage/conflict_test.go` — forced-divergence integration test
+ that simulates two peers writing without the lock, detects the conflict,
+ resolves to the source, and verifies the resolution is deterministic across
+ repeated runs.
+
+**C-14 SATISFIED.**
