Julien Calixte ce3204a350 docs(sync): record fast-seek root cause and splice bench trail
Splice bench (6.5 s, O(depth) shape confirmed), FatFS cluster-chain
root cause with elm-chan/ESP-IDF references, on-device fast-seek
verification, second localization round (strict-creation refuted,
read_header 470 ms), esp_map v2 design, and the two firmware plumbing
gaps (mwindow opts + 16-FD mount).

Tradeoff curves

Where a design knob has a cost that bends — energy, latency, memory — against an interval or size, the curve and its knee live here, so the chosen default is traceable to a shape rather than a guess.

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

Curve What it decides
wifi-auto-sync.md auto_sync interval vs Wi-Fi energy (a 1/T hyperbola) — why the default is 10 min and opportunistic, not a wall-clock timer.
epd-refresh-latency.md E-ink refresh latency vs rows driven — the full / full-area-partial / windowed-Y cost model behind typing responsiveness and the boot splash→editor swap.
sync-commit-staging.md Commit-staging strategy vs working-tree size — add_all(["*"]) (O(tree) FAT walk) vs explicit-path (O(churn)); the walk-vs-writes split that decides whether explicit staging is worth it.
