Julien Calixte 60c9aef9dc docs(sync): record the images-off-card decision — skip-media-in-apply
Repo stays untouched (remanso reads images as git blobs); the device
half landed as media-invisible apply_tree_diff. Documents the accepted
trade: stale card media, phantom git-status noise, never hand-commit
from the card.

Notes

Longer-form essays on the thinking behind specific Typoena choices — the arguments too big for an ADR and too durable for a commit message.

Docs index: ../README.md. Project overview: ../../README.md.

Note What it argues
ctrl-g-perceived-latency.md Durability before delivery — surfacing "commit landed" at ~0.2 s makes the 510 s Ctrl-G push feel instant.
git-sync-images-and-repo-size.md Why we don't shrink the notes repo — its 153 MB of media is remanso's image CDN, so rewriting history to slim the on-device clone breaks the web app.
boot-time-budget.md Where the ~4.3 s to cursor goes — and why the ≤ 3 s v1.0 target is hard: one ~1.9 s full refresh is unavoidable at cold boot, so the splash is nearly free.
sync-latency.md Where the ~16 s cold :sync goes — Wi-Fi + SNTP + one TLS push; why optimistic-retry cut a whole handshake, and why the rest is close to the protocol floor.
