The main search endpoint took `limit: params.limit.unwrap_or(100)` with no
ceiling, and that value flows straight into the SQL LIMIT of
search_files_paginated / search_files_in_subtree. A client passing
?limit=<huge> would make Postgres return that many rows into memory and into
the result cache. The suggestions endpoint already clamps (.min(20)); search
did not.
Cap at MAX_SEARCH_LIMIT (500). total_count still reflects the full match set
(COUNT(*) OVER()), so deeper results stay reachable via offset.

store_chunks bumped storage.blobs.ref_count once per chunk *occurrence* (it
looped over the full chunk list, duplicates included), but
remove_manifest_reference decrements once per *distinct* chunk
(WHERE hash = ANY(chunk_hashes) matches each row a single time). For any file
that repeats a chunk -- zero-filled regions in disk/VM images, repeated
document structures, concatenated archives -- storing added +N while deleting
removed -1, so the blob's ref_count never returned to 0 and the chunk was
never garbage-collected: a permanent storage leak.
Count per distinct chunk on the store side too, matching deletion. This also
makes it faster:
- existing chunks: one batched `UPDATE ... WHERE hash = ANY($1)` instead of
one UPDATE per occurrence;
- a brand-new chunk repeated within a file is read, uploaded and INSERTed
once instead of once per occurrence.
The manifest still stores the full per-occurrence chunk sequence (needed to
reassemble the file). Forward fix: blobs already over-counted by the old path
stay over-counted (a reconcile/verify pass could recompute them), but the
bias is upward (leak), so no data is ever deleted early.
CDC tests pass (12); fmt + clippy clean.

The /api router added its own predicate-less CompressionLayer (routes.rs),
nested inside the global predicate-aware one in main.rs. As the inner layer it
compressed responses first, so the global predicate that skips already-
compressed media was bypassed for every /api response: video/audio/image/zip
downloads got Brotli-compressed (CPU + first-byte latency for ~0 bytes saved)
and lost their Content-Length (forced to chunked -> no client progress bar).
- Remove the redundant /api CompressionLayer; /api now flows through the
single global layer in main.rs.
- Make that predicate smarter: compress by default so nothing shrinkable is
missed, and skip ONLY already-compressed types. It no longer blanket-excludes
image/*, so image/svg+xml (text, ~70% shrink) now compresses; raster formats
are listed individually. Added the previously-missed already-compressed
types: Office (docx/xlsx/pptx), ODF, epub, jar, apk, 7z/rar/bzip2/zstd/xz,
woff/woff2 fonts, icons.
Net: media downloads keep Content-Length and skip pointless compression, while
text/JSON/JS/CSS/SVG/XML/ttf/otf/wasm still compress. fmt + clippy clean.

StoragePath::join deep-cloned the whole Vec<String> (every segment String)
just to append one element. Take self by value and push in place. All callers
pass owned values except PathService::create_file_path, which holds a borrow
and now clones explicitly — the same copy the old &self join already made.
File::with_name / with_folder / with_size took &self and rebuilt the struct,
cloning every carried-over field (id, mime_type, folder_id, blob_hash, ...).
Consume self and mutate only the fields that change. Behaviour is identical;
the fallible builders now drop the input on Err, which is fine for these
rename/move/resize transforms (all current callers replace the file).
Impact is small in practice — with_folder/with_size have no callers and
with_name is test-only, while the one hot join caller (create_file_path)
must copy segments regardless — but the consuming form is the idiomatic one.
Verified: cargo fmt + clippy --all-features --all-targets -D warnings clean;
domain tests (path_service::, entities::file::) pass — 30 + 6.

webdav encode_uri_path runs on every PROPFIND href and did
.map(...).collect::<Vec<_>>().join("/"), allocating a String per segment plus
a joined Vec. Write each utf8_percent_encode Display adapter straight into a
single preallocated String. Behavior is identical (split on '/', encode each
segment, join with '/'), including leading/trailing-slash edge cases.
subject_group list / list_with_counts each issued a second SELECT COUNT(*)
round-trip for the total. Fold it into the page query via COUNT(*) OVER() —
the pattern folder_db_repository already uses — halving the round-trips.
total_count is read from the first row and is 0 on an empty page, matching
folder_db_repository's documented convention.

list_incoming_grants and list_grants_on_resource ran fetch_all with no
LIMIT, so a pathological number of grants on one resource (or targeting one
subject) would be pulled fully into memory. These back the grant-management
endpoints ("Manage sharing", "Shared with me"), not the hot require() path.
A blind LIMIT is unsafe here: apply_role reads the full grant set to compute
an add/remove diff, so a silently truncated list would be acted on as if
complete (stale grants never revoked). Instead fetch MAX_GRANT_ROWS + 1 and
reject with an audit line (authz.grant_list_rejected / reason=over_row_cap)
when the cap is exceeded, bounding worst-case RAM without ever returning a
partial set. The check is shared via PgAclEngine::guard_grant_row_cap. Cap is
10_000 — orders of magnitude above any realistic single-resource/subject
grant count.

CachedBlobBackend held its single tokio::Mutex<LruCache> across filesystem
syscalls, serializing every concurrent cache operation behind one lock:
- get_blob_stream / get_blob_range_stream: held across File::open()/seek()
- delete_blob: held across remove_file()
- initialize: held across the full cache-dir walk
- eviction (insert + fetch paths): held across remove_file() loops
Now the lock only guards the in-memory LRU. Presence checks bump recency
and release the guard before touching the filesystem (a vanished file falls
through to the existing fetch-and-cache path, covering the race), and
eviction selects victims under the lock then unlinks them after releasing
it. The duplicated eviction loop is extracted into
CachedRef::collect_evictions.
db: set test_before_acquire(false). With warm min_connections and a bounded
max_lifetime, the liveness ping sqlx issues on every acquire() costs more
than the rare dead connection it catches; stale sockets surface as a query
error and the pool recycles them either way.

a prefix path as been add to avoid collision if OXICLOUD_UPLOAD_TMPDIR=OXICLOUD_CHUNK_DIR
upgrade to this version will convert previous upload chunked into the prefixed version at server start
ensure files does not exeed OXICLOUD_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE, prefer to deny from header rather consuming bandwidth
add OXICLOUD_DIRECT_PUT_MAX_BYTES for direct PUT (non chunked), admins can fine tune their prefered values
explain OXICLOUD_CHUNK_DIR and OXICLOUD_UPLOAD_TMPDIR
and also the OXICLOUD_CHUNK_MAX_BYTES & OXICLOUD_UPLOAD_TMPDIR
to help administratorrs to defined correctly their storage architecture
purpose: avoid current scheme:
1. write to disk
2. reopen file to read data and digest it
now: digest is done while writing data to disk
all other implementation than Nextcloud are corrrect
add OXICLOUD_CHUNK_MAX_BYTES which correspond to the max upload chunk allowed
(differs from OXICLOUD_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE which is the max total size of a file)
hurl test validate the change
Streams the request body straight to the chunk file with peak heap of
~one HTTP frame, regardless of chunk size or the configured cap. The
`storage.chunk_max_bytes` config (env `OXICLOUD_CHUNK_MAX_BYTES`,
default 100 MB) bounds a single PUT — separate from `max_upload_size`
which governs whole-file uploads. Without this separation, a client
could submit a chunk up to the whole-file cap (10 GB default) and
monopolise server memory.
- add /ocs/v1.php/cloud/user route (same as /ocs/v2.php/cloud/user )
- add also /remote.php/dav/avatars/{user}/{size}.png route (used by Nextcloud sync)
note: webp are transcoded in png, no cache but using pragma HTTP header
PROPFIND on upload chunk is necessary for application to resume the upload
it is used at least by Nextcloud Android app
issue has been raised via #415
unable to test, so I am using a playbook in test/webdav to simulate a
PROPIND on remote.php/dav/uploads/{user}/{session}
This solve issue with 2 migrations made the same day, due to merge on pull request, DB migration is blocking
the same version prefix:

- 20260625000000_folder_tree_modified_at.sql (Ed)
They were renamed to ...0001 and ...0002 (disjoint versions) + protection like "IF NOT EXISTS"

When a new browser visits the login page, the language selector runs first.
After the user selects a language and clicks continue, the code checked
system status and correctly showed the login panel when `initialized=true`
— but did not hide the "Set up administrator" link.
That link was only hidden by `showInitialPanel()`, which returns early
(without reaching the hide logic) whenever `isFirstRun()` is true. So on
any browser that had not previously stored the locale key, the link stayed
visible and clickable, leading users back to the admin setup panel even
after an admin already existed.
Fix: hide the link in the language-continue handler's `else` branch,
mirroring the same guard already present in `showInitialPanel()`.

GET /api/auth/me ran a synchronous O(N) SUM(size) over all the user's
files plus an unconditional UPDATE of auth.users on every call — one of
the most frequently hit endpoints — adding per-request latency, DB write
load, dead tuples and WAL even when nothing changed.
- /api/auth/me now serves the cached storage_used_bytes column instead of
recomputing it inline.
- New StorageUsageService::start_reconciliation_job runs a periodic sweep
on the maintenance pool that keeps the cached value current for every
mutation (uploads, deletes, trash), so freshness no longer depends on
hitting /me. Interval via OXICLOUD_STORAGE_USAGE_RECONCILE_SECS (default
600s, floored at 30s; first sweep deferred one interval to avoid boot load).
- update_storage_usage only writes when the value actually changes
(IS DISTINCT FROM), so the sweep produces no dead tuple / WAL on no-ops.
- New covering partial index idx_files_user_size_active makes the usage
SUM an index-only scan instead of a heap scan over all the user's files.
Also collapse the same pre-existing clippy collapsible_else_if in
carddav_handler that blocks the -D warnings gate on this base.

Large uploads (e.g. ~800 MB ISOs) could OOMKill the process, even on
dedup hits, due to three separate full-file-in-memory paths:
- NextCloud PUT (/remote.php/dav) buffered the entire body in RAM via
body::to_bytes before any dedup logic, then re-wrote and re-hashed it.
Now streams the body to a temp file with incremental BLAKE3 and goes
through update_file_streaming (shared spool helper with the native
WebDAV PUT handler); peak heap is ~one HTTP frame regardless of size.
- DedupService::store_chunks materialized every new chunk's data in a Vec
before uploading. Now reads each new chunk by positioned I/O
(read_exact_at, off the runtime via spawn_blocking) just before its
upload; peak heap bounded to ~CHUNK_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY x CDC_MAX_CHUNK.
- The upload spool used the OS temp dir, often tmpfs/RAM in containers
where its page-cache counts against the cgroup memory limit. Add
OXICLOUD_UPLOAD_TMPDIR to point the spool at real disk.
Also collapse a pre-existing clippy collapsible_else_if in carddav_handler.

TL;DR:
fix duplicate filename via:
```
docker exec <container> migrate-nfc-filenames --dry-run # preview
docker exec <container> migrate-nfc-filenames # execute
```
== issue ==
Last week I uploaded Capture d'écran 2026-06-03 à 20.04.24.png from the web. It synced down to Nextcloud on my Mac. Two minutes later, the Web UI was showing the file twice.
Both rows had:
- the same name
- the same size
- the same content hash
So why two rows? Because to PostgreSQL, the names weren't the same.
Web upload (browser → Postgres):
"é" stored as 1 codepoint (U+00E9) bytes: c3 a9 ← NFC
NiextCloud client (macOS → Postgres):
"é" stored as 2 codepoints (e + U+0301) bytes: 65 cc 81 ← NFD
macOS's APFS keeps filenames in NFD (decomposed); browsers send NFC (composed). Visually é and é are identical. To WHERE name = $1 they're two different keys. Our UNIQUE index on (folder_id, name, user_id) never fired — and the row count quietly drifted every time a Mac user touched an accented
filename.
== The fix is two halves ==
1. No new duplicates — every name-receiving boundary (file upload, NC PUT, rename, MOVE, path lookup) now NFC-normalizes before touching the database. The storage invariant becomes "every stored name is NFC".
2. Clean up existing data — one-shot migrate-nfc-filenames binary walks storage.files, NFC-normalizes any non-NFC row, and resolves the collisions we've accumulated. Same-content duplicates go to trash (recoverable); different-content collisions get renamed with a .duplicate suffix.
== use of the clean up ==
