Watch nested dirs: recursively add watchers for subdirs on create

2026-07-06T20:30:55+00:00

When mkdir -p creates multiple nested dirs at once, only the first
level got a watcher. Now syncCreate walks all subdirectories and
adds watchers for them. The event handler already filters ignored paths.

Fix event debouncing: merge ops instead of overwriting

2026-07-06T20:24:18+00:00

- touch fires CREATE then CHMOD, the CHMOD was overwriting CREATE
  in the debounce map, and CHMOD is not handled, so file was never synced
- Now debounce merges event ops (CREATE|CHMOD → treated as CREATE)
- Added sync/remove debug logging
- Tested in Docker: create, modify, delete all working

Add log level system and sync logging

2026-07-06T20:16:37+00:00

- log.go: log level system (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, NONE)
- CLI: -log-level flag (default info), -verbose as shorthand for debug
- Watcher: logs sync/remove actions at INFO level
- Watcher: logs events at DEBUG level
- Errors: structured error messages (DISK FULL, PERMISSION DENIED, etc.)
- Updated README with -log-level flag

Add build instructions to README

2026-07-06T20:07:18+00:00

Add Podman to README

2026-07-06T20:06:46+00:00

Add progress logging for initial sync

2026-07-06T20:03:47+00:00

- Log start of sync with source directory
- Print progress every 1000 files during sync
- Log completion with stats (files, dirs, skipped, errors) and elapsed time
- Print 'watcher: ready' when monitoring begins
- Exit cleanly on dry-run

Add structured error handling with retry logic

2026-07-06T19:58:06+00:00

- errors.go: retry wrapper for transient errors (ENOENT),
  structured error logging (disk full, permission denied, symlink loops)
- sync.go: continue on individual file errors, log clearly, skip broken
  symlinks instead of failing entire sync
- watcher.go: log all errors with context, handle readlink failures
- Added 11 tests for error handling scenarios
- 50 tests passing

Add symlink watcher support with tests

2026-07-06T19:54:00+00:00

- syncCreate: remove existing file before creating symlink
- syncWrite: handle symlink target changes (remove + recreate)
- Added 4 new tests:
  - CreateSymlink: new symlink synced to /data
  - UpdateSymlinkTarget: symlink target change updates /data
  - RemoveSymlink: symlink removal synced
  - ModifySymlinkTargetFile: target file change preserves symlink
- 39 tests passing

Add README with usage, flags, and .gitignore support docs

2026-07-06T19:50:36+00:00

Docker test fixes: directory pattern matching, mtime-based sync, Go version

2026-07-06T19:47:30+00:00

- Fixed directory pattern matching: go-gitignore doesn't match 'build/'
  against bare 'build', now checks with trailing slash appended
- Added ModTime to FileMeta for reliable change detection (same-size
  file modifications now sync correctly)
- Updated Dockerfile to golang:1.24-alpine (was 1.22)
- Downgraded go.mod to Go 1.24 (system has custom 1.26.4 build)

Docker tested with podman:
- Initial sync correctly excludes ignored dirs/files
- Nested .gitignore works (sub/ ignores *.tmp)
- Watcher syncs new/modified/deleted files
- Case-sensitive rename (Foo→foo) handled correctly
- Same-size file modifications sync correctly
