entangle-sync 0.1.0

Real-time collaborative text file sync via CRDT

entangle — Real-Time Collaborative File Sync via CRDT

2026-04-23T02:38:53Z by Showboat 0.6.1

entangle makes a single local text file collaboratively editable across machines in real time. Run one command to share a file; anyone with the link syncs it to their filesystem and edits it with any program — vim, VS Code, sed. Changes merge automatically via CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type).

Architecture layers built in this session:

• differ — character-level text diff → positional insert/delete ops
• crdt — yrs (Yjs-compatible) CRDT engine wrapping a Y.Text
• protocol — lib0 varint encoding for the y-websocket sync wire format
• watcher — notify v6 filesystem watcher bridged to tokio async channels
• writer — atomic file writes with a suppress flag to break echo loops
• session — async event loop tying all layers together with debounce and reconnect
• room — random room ID generation and share-link formatting

Layer 1 — Differ

compute_diff(old, new) produces a sequence of positional insert/delete ops that transform old into new when applied left-to-right to a Y.Text. Positions are tracked in the current CRDT state frame: deletes do not advance the cursor (they remove chars at that position), while inserts advance it by the number of chars inserted.

A quick inline demonstration: computing the diff between two strings and printing the ops.

    return ops

pairs = [
    ('hello world', 'hello beautiful world'),
    ('hello world', 'hi world'),

Layer 2 — CRDT Engine

CrdtEngine wraps a yrs::Doc with a single Y.Text named "content". Key methods:

• seed(content) — populate the doc with initial text (share command startup)
• apply_local_edit(new_content) — diff snapshot → new, apply ops, return encoded delta bytes
• apply_remote_update(bytes) — decode and apply a remote delta, return new text if changed
• state_vector_bytes() — encode our state vector for SyncStep1
• encode_state_as_update(peer_sv) — encode what the peer is missing for SyncStep2

cargo test --lib crdt:: 2>&1 | grep -E 'test |result:'

test crdt::tests::identical_edit_produces_no_update ... ok

test result: ok. 7 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 32 filtered out; finished in 0.00s

The concurrent_edits_converge test verifies the core CRDT guarantee: two peers making independent edits to the same base text will always arrive at the same final state after exchanging updates, regardless of edit order.

Layer 3 — y-websocket Protocol

protocol.rs implements the y-sync wire format using lib0 variable-length integer encoding. Each WebSocket binary frame is: [msg_type:varint][sync_type:varint][payload_len:varint][payload bytes].

Message types:

• encode_sync_step1(sv) → sent on connect, announces our state to the relay
• encode_sync_step2(update) → reply to a peer's SyncStep1, sends what they're missing
• encode_update(update) → incremental update after each local edit
• decode_message(bytes) → parses any incoming frame into a SyncMessage enum

cargo test --lib protocol:: 2>&1 | grep -E 'test |result:'

test protocol::tests::round_trip_sync_step1 ... ok
test protocol::tests::truncated_message_returns_none ... ok
test protocol::tests::round_trip_sync_step2 ... ok

test result: ok. 6 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 33 filtered out; finished in 0.00s

A concrete look at the wire format — encoding a SyncStep1 and inspecting the bytes:

def write_varint(n):
    buf = []
    while True:
        b = n & 0x7F
        n >>= 7
        if n == 0:
            buf.append(b)
            break
        buf.append(b | 0x80)
    return bytes(buf)

def write_var_bytes(data):
    return write_varint(len(data)) + data

def encode_sync_step1(sv: bytes) -> bytes:
    return write_varint(0) + write_varint(0) + write_var_bytes(sv)

def encode_update(update: bytes) -> bytes:
    return write_varint(0) + write_varint(2) + write_var_bytes(update)

sv = bytes([1, 0, 1, 5])          # example state vector bytes
frame = encode_sync_step1(sv)
print(f'SyncStep1 frame : {list(frame)}')
print(f'  byte 0 = {frame[0]} (msg_type=sync)')
print(f'  byte 1 = {frame[1]} (sync_type=step1)')
print(f'  byte 2 = {frame[2]} (payload length={frame[2]})')
print(f'  rest   = {list(frame[3:])} (state vector)')

update = bytes([0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xef])
frame2 = encode_update(update)
print()
print(f'Update frame    : {list(frame2)}')
print(f'  byte 0 = {frame2[0]} (msg_type=sync)')
print(f'  byte 1 = {frame2[1]} (sync_type=update)')
print(f'  byte 2 = {frame2[2]} (payload length={frame2[2]})')

SyncStep1 frame : [0, 0, 4, 1, 0, 1, 5]
  byte 0 = 0 (msg_type=sync)
  byte 1 = 0 (sync_type=step1)
  byte 2 = 4 (payload length=4)
  rest   = [1, 0, 1, 5] (state vector)

Update frame    : [0, 2, 4, 222, 173, 190, 239]
  byte 0 = 0 (msg_type=sync)
  byte 1 = 2 (sync_type=update)
  byte 2 = 4 (payload length=4)

Layer 4 — File Watcher

watcher::spawn_watcher starts a notify v6 RecommendedWatcher on the parent directory of the target file (watching a single file directly is unreliable on some platforms when editors use atomic save-via-rename). Events are filtered to the target filename and bridged to a tokio channel via spawn_blocking. The suppress flag (an AtomicBool shared with the writer) prevents entangle from reacting to its own writes.

Layer 5 — Atomic File Writer

writer::write_file_atomic avoids partial reads by writing to a temp file in the same directory then renaming over the target. Before writing it sets the suppress flag so the watcher ignores the resulting fs event; a short-lived tokio task clears it 50 ms later.

cargo test --lib writer:: 2>&1 | grep -E 'test |result:'

test writer::tests::no_tmp_file_remains ... ok
test writer::tests::atomic_write_creates_file ... ok
test writer::tests::suppress_is_set_then_cleared ... ok
test writer::tests::overwrites_existing_file ... ok
test result: ok. 4 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 35 filtered out; finished in 0.13s

Layer 6 — Room ID & Share Links

room::generate_room_id produces 8 random bytes hex-encoded (16 chars), e.g. a3f8c2e9b1d4f067. The share link embeds the WebSocket URL and room ID in a form the joiner can paste directly into their terminal.

cargo test --lib room:: 2>&1 | grep -E 'test |result:'

test room::tests::parse_room_id_empty_room ... ok
test room::tests::parse_room_id_missing_prefix ... ok
test room::tests::parse_room_id_valid ... ok
test room::tests::share_link_format ... ok
test room::tests::room_id_is_16_hex_chars ... ok
test room::tests::room_ids_are_unique ... ok
test result: ok. 6 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 33 filtered out; finished in 0.00s

Property-Based Tests (proptest)

Four proptest properties exercise the differ + CRDT stack with randomly generated inputs:

1. diff_roundtrip_ascii — for any two ASCII strings, applying compute_diff ops to the old string always yields the new string
2. diff_roundtrip_unicode — same for arbitrary Unicode
3. crdt_roundtrip — applying a local edit to a CrdtEngine always results in the engine holding the new content
4. two_peer_convergence — two peers seeded with the same base, each making an independent edit, always converge after exchanging updates

cargo test --test differ_proptest 2>&1 | grep -E 'test |result:|FAILED'

test diff_roundtrip_unicode ... ok
test crdt_roundtrip ... ok
test two_peer_convergence ... ok
test diff_roundtrip_ascii ... ok
test result: ok. 4 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 0.59s

showboat note /home/user/entangle/demo.md '## Property-Based Tests (proptest)

Four proptest properties exercise the differ + CRDT stack with randomly generated inputs:

1. **diff_roundtrip_ascii** — for any two ASCII strings, applying `compute_diff` ops to the old string always yields the new string
2. **diff_roundtrip_unicode** — same for arbitrary Unicode
3. **crdt_roundtrip** — applying a local edit to a `CrdtEngine` always results in the engine holding the new content
4. **two_peer_convergence** — two peers seeded with the same base, each making an independent edit, always converge after exchanging updates'

pop — removes the most recent entry. Demonstrated here by adding a deliberate mistake and then removing it.

(The dummy entry above was removed by showboat pop demo.md — it no longer appears in the document.)

verify — re-runs every code block and diffs actual output against recorded output. Exits 0 if everything matches, 1 with diffs if anything changed.

The diffs above are purely non-deterministic: parallel test execution order and sub-second build timings. Every test result line reads ok, all counts match, and the Python outputs are byte-for-byte identical. The document is reproducibly correct — only scheduling noise varies.
