makiolaj b1189a4884 sync(chunk 3): the sync engine
Full bidirectional sync, correct but not yet clever: calendar-query with no
time-range, calendar-multiget in batches matched against what was asked for,
conditional writes, and per-resource quarantine so one bad task cannot stop a
collection.

- :caldav gains CalendarCollection (list/fetch/create/update/delete + the
  three-way 412 triage), ETag with its weak flag, vdirsyncer-style resource
  names, and the RemoteCalendar seam.
- CalDavHttp now sends Accept-Encoding: identity and Prefer: handling=strict,
  the two headers that keep ETags strong and our bytes unrepaired.
- :app gains CollectionSyncer (the reconciliation), SyncEngine, SyncStore,
  QuarantineStore, SyncReport and a working SyncWorker, plus an in-app sync
  trigger since ContentResolver.requestSync is gated at our targetSdk.
- VTimeZones closes a chunk-1 gap: the mapper emitted TZID with no VTIMEZONE
  to resolve it, which handling=strict turns from a repair into a rejection.

/code-review high raised 11 findings, all fixed. The three that mattered:
an empty listing swept the whole list (a VTODO comp-filter some servers
mishandle is not proof of deletion, so an empty listing now never sweeps);
quarantine never covered creates, so a permanently rejected new task was
re-PUT forever; and a RELATED-TO deleted on the server was re-uploaded on the
next edit. Reasoning recorded in docs/SYNC-PLAN.md.

Chunk 2's on-device review is still outstanding; nothing here has been run on
a device or against a real server.

Agendula — documentation

Agendula is a Material 3 Expressive task app for Android. It carries its own task store — the dmfs task provider vendored under our own authority — so it is complete and local-first with nothing else installed; an external provider (OpenTasks / tasks.org, synced by DAVx5 / SmoothSync / DecSync) is a user choice rather than a requirement, and our own CalDAV sync is the 1.x arc. Sibling to Calendula. See the top-level ../README.md for the project pitch.

Doc What it covers
ARCHITECTURE.md How Agendula is built today — layers, the data seam, provider resolution, the reminder engine, DI, build/tooling, manifest. Start here to work on the code.
ROADMAP.md Status and what's next — milestones (M0–M6 + Posture B), what's done, open decisions, how to build/verify.
STORAGE-AND-SYNC.md Where task data lives — the decision to ship our own provider, the storage modes, permissions, distribution, and the dead ends. Supersedes PLAN.md on storage.
SYNC.md How data reaches a server — the CalDAV sync adapter: the VTODO ↔ TaskContract mapper, Nextcloud sign-in, the engine, libraries and their licenses. Step 5 of STORAGE-AND-SYNC.md.
STORAGE-DECISION.md Keep the vendored provider, or build our own? The measured cost of both. Decided: build our own.
OWN-STORE.md Agendula's own Room store — the schema, recurrence design, migration off the vendored provider, and the six-phase plan that deletes :provider. Supersedes the "keep the provider" position in STORAGE-AND-SYNC.md.
PLAN.md The original implementation plan and design rationale — the A-now-B-later thesis, what transfers from Calendula, the locked decisions. The "why".
RELEASING.md How to cut a release — the git-tag-as-source-of-truth flow, CI jobs, F-Droid repo, required secrets.
../provider/PROVENANCE.md What the vendored :provider module is, where it came from, and every deviation from upstream dmfs.

Also: ../CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog format; tag sections feed the release notes).

How the docs relate

  • PLAN is the original design decisions (the "why"), left as the historical record. On storage it is superseded by STORAGE-AND-SYNC.
  • STORAGE-AND-SYNC and SYNC are the standing decision documents: the first settles where data lives, the second how it syncs. Both record rejected alternatives on purpose, so decisions don't get relitigated.
  • ARCHITECTURE is the current shape of the code (kept in sync with the source as it grows).
  • ROADMAP is the moving status layer (update as milestones land).
  • RELEASING is the operational runbook.
