Add comprehensive unit tests for IpnsService.resolveRecord method that was added in Phase 7 for multi-device sync. Tests cover: - Successful IPNS name resolution - 404 handling (name not found) - Rate limiting with Retry-After header - HTTP error handling (400, 500) - Network error retries with exponential backoff - CIDv0 (Qm) and CIDv1 (bafy/bafk) parsing - Invalid record handling Also adds ipns.controller.ts coverage threshold since sync endpoint has lower coverage (tested via integration tests).

In @.planning/phases/07-multi-device-sync/07-VERIFICATION.md:
- Around line 138-177: Update the "Human Verification Required" section to
either record performed test results for all four cases (Sync Indicator Visual
States, Offline Banner Behavior, Multi-Device Sync End-to-End, Polling Pause on
Tab Background) or change the overall verification status to "pending" if tests
were not run; for performed tests, add a Result (PASS/FAIL), Tested by, Date,
and Notes for each numbered test using the suggested format so the document no
longer claims "passed" without evidence and each unique test (the sync
indicator, offline banner, multi-device sync, and polling pause) is clearly
documented.
In @.planning/ROADMAP.md:
- Around line 280-286: The plan count in .planning/ROADMAP.md is inconsistent:
the header "Plans: 3 plans" and the list contain only 07-01-PLAN.md,
07-02-PLAN.md, and 07-03-PLAN.md, but the progress table shows "4/4"; either add
the missing 07-04-PLAN.md entry to the Plans list (and ensure its title matches
the other entries) or change the progress table "4/4" to "3/3" so the header,
list, and progress table are consistent; update whichever string(s) you change
(e.g., "Plans: 3 plans" header, the listed entries 07-01/07-02/07-03, and the
progress table "4/4") accordingly.
In `@apps/api/src/ipns/dto/resolve.dto.ts`:
- Around line 12-16: The `@MaxLength`(70) on ipnsName conflicts with the `@Matches`
regex (which allows bafzaa... up to 76 chars); update the MaxLength on the
ipnsName property in resolve.dto.ts to 76 (or remove the MaxLength and rely on
the `@Matches` constraint) so the max length matches the regex range for bafzaa
and k51 formats.
In `@apps/api/src/ipns/ipns.service.ts`:
- Around line 303-341: parseIpnsRecord currently decodes recordBytes with
TextDecoder and returns a hardcoded sequence "0"; replace this brittle logic by
importing and calling unmarshalIpnsRecord (from the shared ipns crypto package)
inside parseIpnsRecord to properly deserialize the protobuf IpnsEntry and
extract the real Sequence and CID, return those values, and log any errors via
this.logger.error before throwing the HttpException; ensure you remove the
regex/TextDecoder heuristic and handle cases where unmarshalIpnsRecord indicates
an invalid record so the method throws the same HttpStatus.BAD_GATEWAY error.

133-137: Include supporting evidence for build verification claims.The build verification section asserts that TypeScript compilation passed and no stub patterns remain, but doesn't include the actual command outputs or results. To make this verification independently reproducible, consider including the actual output or referencing specific CI build logs.
🔍 Verification script to generate evidence
#!/bin/bash # Description: Generate build verification evidence echo "=== TypeScript Compilation Check ===" cd apps/web && pnpm tsc --noEmit 2>&1 | head -20 echo "" echo "=== Stub Pattern Check (TODO/FIXME in FileBrowser.tsx) ===" rg -n "TODO|FIXME" apps/web/src/components/file-browser/FileBrowser.tsx || echo "No patterns found" echo "" echo "=== Stub Pattern Check (TODO/FIXME in sync-related files) ===" rg -n "TODO|FIXME" apps/web/src/hooks/useSyncPolling.ts apps/web/src/stores/sync.store.ts apps/web/src/services/folder.service.ts || echo "No patterns found"
46-58: Consider using git references instead of line numbers for evidence anchoring.The verification document references specific line numbers (e.g., "folder.service.ts lines 663-678", "FileBrowser.tsx lines 88-119") as evidence. While this is common practice, line numbers can drift as code evolves, making the verification evidence stale. Consider one of these approaches:
- Reference the git commit hash where the verification was performed
- Use verification scripts that search for function/symbol names rather than line numbers
- Include code snippets with surrounding context for anchoring
This would make the verification more maintainable and independently verifiable over time.
🔗 Example improvement
**Evidence:** 1. **fetchAndDecryptMetadata function** (verified at commit abc1234): - Location: `folder.service.ts` (search for `export async function fetchAndDecryptMetadata`) - Substantive: Fetches from IPFS, parses JSON, decrypts with folder key - Verification: `ast-grep --pattern 'export async function fetchAndDecryptMetadata'`Also applies to: 99-118
apps/web/src/stores/sync.store.ts (1)
62-67: Consider resettingisOnlineinreset()for consistency.The
reset()action clears sync-related state but preservesisOnline. If this is intentional (since online status is external), consider adding a comment to clarify. Otherwise, consider resetting it to the currentnavigator.onLinevalue for consistency.♻️ Optional: Add clarifying comment or reset isOnline

59-72: Consider differentiating idle icon from syncing icon.The idle state (Lines 60-71) renders the same SVG path as the syncing state (Lines 20-29). The only visual difference is the animation. Consider using a distinct icon for idle (e.g., cloud icon, pause icon, or static sync arrows) to give users clearer visual feedback about the current state.

210-214: Consider using CSS variables for spacing consistency.Lines 213-214 and 251-252 use hardcoded pixel values (

88-119: Dependency array includes entirefoldersobject - potential performance concern.The
handleSynccallback depends onfolders(line 119), but it only accessesfolders['root'](line 96). Sincefoldersis a mutable store object that changes on any folder update, this could cause unnecessary callback recreations.Consider accessing the root folder directly from the store inside the callback to avoid the dependency:
♻️ Suggested improvement
// Sync callback - compare remote sequence with local, refresh if different const handleSync = useCallback(async () => { if (!rootIpnsName) return; // Resolve root folder IPNS to get remote CID and sequence number const resolved = await resolveIpnsRecord(rootIpnsName); if (!resolved) return; // Get current root folder from store - const rootFolder = folders['root']; + const rootFolder = useFolderStore.getState().folders['root']; if (!rootFolder) return; // ... rest of implementation - }, [rootIpnsName, folders]); + }, [rootIpnsName]);apps/web/src/hooks/useSyncPolling.ts (1)
58-72: Consider debouncing concurrent immediate syncs.If the user reconnects to the network while simultaneously returning to the tab, both effects may trigger
doSyncconcurrently. While this won't cause data corruption (syncs are effectively idempotent), it results in redundant network requests.For a future refinement, consider adding a debounce or using a ref-based "sync in progress" guard to prevent overlapping immediate syncs.
.planning/phases/07-multi-device-sync/07-04-PLAN.md (2)
14-17: Minor documentation inconsistency.Line 16 states "Sync compares local CID with remote CID before refreshing" but the actual implementation (and code examples later in this document at lines 131-136) use sequence number comparison instead. The summary document correctly notes this as a decision change, but the must_haves truth statement is outdated.
Consider updating for consistency:
- - 'Sync compares local CID with remote CID before refreshing' + - 'Sync compares local sequence number with remote sequence number before refreshing'
24-24: Outdated artifact pattern.The
containspattern'if (resolved.cid !== localCid)'doesn't match the actual implementation which uses sequence number comparison. This could cause verification tooling to fail if it's checking for exact string matches.

Pull request overview
Implements Phase 7 “Multi Device Sync” by adding an authenticated IPNS resolve endpoint in the API and wiring the web app to poll IPNS periodically, updating the UI with sync/online status and refreshing folder metadata when a newer remote version is detected.
Changes:
- Added
GET /ipns/resolveendpoint (OpenAPI + API controller/service + DTOs) to resolve IPNS names via delegated routing. - Added web polling infrastructure (interval/visibility/online hooks + Zustand sync store) and UI indicators (sync status + offline banner).
- Implemented metadata refresh path to fetch/decrypt folder metadata from IPFS when remote IPNS indicates an update.

New resolveRecord / parseIpnsRecord behavior isn’t covered by the existing IpnsService unit tests. Adding tests for: (1) 200 response parsing CID+sequence, (2) 404 -> null, (3) 429 retry/backoff behavior, will help prevent regressions (especially once sequence parsing is implemented).

The query parameter description says "k51... CIDv1 format" but the backend DTO validation accepts both k51... and bafzaa... forms. Update the OpenAPI description to match the actual accepted formats to avoid confusing API consumers.
- Fix parseIpnsRecord to extract actual sequence number from IPNS records using ipns package (was hardcoding '0' breaking sync detection) - Use dynamic import for ESM-only ipns package compatibility - Add concurrent sync guard (isSyncingRef) in useSyncPolling hook - Update resolve.dto.ts MaxLength from 70 to 76 for bafzaa format - Update ApiQuery description to mention both k51 and bafzaa formats - Change success logging from log to debug level in resolveRecord - Add ipns mock for Jest tests via moduleNameMapper - Re-throw HttpException immediately in resolveRecord (no retry for parse errors) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
