I've corrected some obvious issues, and we can fix others over time.
Mypy tests are currently broken, as adding the type hints has increased
mypy's testing surface.
- media syncing no longer locks the account, so it can be done
in the background in the future, and multiple clients can safely
sync media at the same time
- all operations are now idempotent, so they can be repeatedly safely
in the event of a connection error
- whether it's a normal incremental sync, an initial sync,
or the media database has been deleted, no files will be uploaded
or downloaded if they already exist on the other side
- file removals are now chunked like additions & updates, preventing
timeouts due to large requests
- if the server can't process a chunk in time, it will return a count
of what it did process, so the client can retry the rest
Notes for AnkiDroid:
- when porting this, recommend you pick a different name for the
.media.db2 file, so users don't accidentally copy the AD version to
the desktop or vice versa
- please make sure filenames are added to the zip in NFC form
- /sync/meta now returns a dictionary
- it includes the following extra fields
- msg: if non-empty, show this message at the end of the sync
- cont: if false, show above message and abort sync
- uname: the user's email address, so it can be stored by the local client to
show users who have forgotten which email address they used. in the future
this will be saved only when logging in, so do a conditional access on it
