[1.0.0] — 2026-03-08

First stable release. Complete ground-up rewrite with a new architecture, new config format, desktop app, and background watch support.

Added

Core library (hard-sync-core)

• Config system — named pairs stored in ~/.config/hard-sync/config.json
• Two pair types: cross-drive (identified by UUID + volume label) and same-drive (drive_id: null)
• Drive detection — identifies drives by UUID and volume label, never by mount path
• Windows fix: strip \\?\ UNC prefix from canonicalized paths before mount-point comparison
• Sync engine — mtime+size comparison by default; SHA256 opt-in via --verify
• Delete behaviors: trash (default), delete, ignore — configurable per pair
• Trash system — orphaned files moved to .hard-sync-trash/<timestamp>_<filename> on target
• Ignore patterns — built-in defaults + per-pair config list + .hardsyncignore file (gitignore-style)
• File watcher — notify-based, 500ms debounce for same-drive pairs
• Drive poller — 3s interval for cross-drive pairs in watch mode
• Notification sounds — rodio-based; built-in synthesized tones play by default (no setup required), custom WAV/MP3/OGG/FLAC paths configurable per event per pair
• list_connected_drives() — enumerate all mounted drives with removable flag and space info
• get_config_path() and reset_config() — config introspection and reset
• All public types implement serde::Serialize + serde::Deserialize for use across IPC boundaries

CLI (hsync)

• hsync init — set up a named pair; auto-detects drive type from paths
• hsync sync — one-shot sync with --dry-run and --verify flags
• hsync watch — blocking foreground watch mode
• hsync watch --detach — spawn watcher as a background daemon (PID + logs in ~/.local/share/hsync/)
• hsync watch list — show all running background watchers
• hsync watch attach — tail the log of a background watcher (Ctrl+C to detach, watcher keeps running)
• hsync watch stop — stop a specific background watcher or all (--all)
• hsync autostart enable/disable/list — register watchers to start on login via OS-native mechanism
• hsync list — show all configured pairs
• hsync drives — list connected drives, annotated with pair matches
• hsync set-source — flip which side is the source of truth
• hsync remove — remove a pair from config (no files deleted)
• hsync trash list — inspect trash for a pair
• hsync trash clear — delete trash for one pair or all pairs
• hsync config path — print config file location
• hsync config reset — delete config file and remove all pairs

Desktop app (Tauri + Svelte)

• System tray icon — left-click to open window, right-click for Show/Quit menu
• Pair list with status badges (watching / idle), drive pair indicator
• Sync now button — one-shot sync with result summary
• Watch / Stop toggle — spawns or stops the background hsync daemon
• Add pair form — name, base path, target path (with native OS folder picker), source side toggle
• Remove pair button
• Refresh button

CI/CD

• release.yml — builds CLI binaries (hsync-windows-x86_64.exe, hsync-linux-x86_64, hsync-macos-x86_64) and Tauri desktop installers for all three platforms on every GitHub Release
• publish.yml — publishes hard-sync-core and hard-sync-cli to crates.io on release

Changed

• Replaced single-command hard-sync-cli with named-pair model — set up once, run by name forever
• Replaced per-directory .hard_sync_cli/ state files with a single global config
• Replaced path-based drive identification with UUID/label-based identification

Removed

• Old --src / --dest / --reverse / --exclude flags (replaced by named pair config)
• Per-directory state tracking (.hard_sync_cli/ directories)
• Docker setup (incompatible with native OS audio, drive detection, and autostart features)
