The policy still described the optional diagnostics path shipped in VaultSync 2.0.0 as unreleased. Limit the correction to public documentation and a phrase-specific policy lint while preserving explicit consent, retention, and physical-device and binary-provenance evidence limits.

What & why

Component(s)

  • go (bridge / Syncthing)
  • ios (app / widget)
  • notify (relay)
  • docs / CI

Testing

  • cd go && make patch && go test -tags noassets ./bridge
  • cd notify && go test ./...
  • iOS build / xcodebuild test
  • Not applicable

Summary

  • Updates privacy documentation for VaultSync 2.0.0 and later.
  • Documents explicit pairing and checks for Controlled Diagnostics.
  • Clarifies that normal and background sync do not start diagnostics.
  • Preserves retention, physical-device evidence, and binary-provenance limits.
  • Adds a lint check for stale unreleased-status language in PRIVACY.md.
  • Propagates policy read and usage errors from the lint.
  • Updates the policy effective date and architecture references.

Verification

  • Adds focused automated privacy-policy lint coverage.
  • No test execution results are provided.

Fixes #149

The policy still described the optional diagnostics path shipped in VaultSync 2.0.0 as unreleased. Limit the
correction to public documentation and a phrase-specific policy lint while preserving explicit consent, retention,
and physical-device and binary-provenance evidence limits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates the Privacy Policy for VaultSync 2.0.0 and later, revises readiness references, records the change in the changelog, and adds a lint check for stale unreleased-status wording.

Changes

Controlled Diagnostics privacy release documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Privacy policy release wording and references
PRIVACY.md
The policy date changes to August 27, 2026. Controlled Diagnostics and the foreground upload and download check are described as available in VaultSync 2.0.0 and later. Readiness links distinguish the current architecture from historical snapshots.
Stale wording lint and release note
ios/scripts/sync-proof-privacy-lint.sh, CHANGELOG.md
The lint script scans PRIVACY.md for four stale unreleased-status phrases and fails when it finds one. The changelog records the updated Controlled Diagnostics policy.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 34956

This PR corrects public privacy documentation and adds a focused check for obsolete wording without changing diagnostics collection, consent, retention, or deployment behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Poem

The policy date turns bright and new
Diagnostics take their proper view
A stale phrase meets the lint’s sharp eye
Old readiness links now clarify
Explicit checks remain in tune

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The changes reconcile PRIVACY.md and CHANGELOG.md with the documented VaultSync 2.0.0 diagnostics behavior, preserve explicit opt-in and evidence limits, retain historical-document context, avoid product-code changes, and add a focused lint check for stale unreleased wording [#149].

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed files support the linked issue: privacy documentation, changelog documentation, and a documentation lint script. No product behavior, release metadata, legal claims, or unrelated code changes are present.

Full details: No Private Note Leakage

Explanation

PASS — The PR changes only CHANGELOG.md, PRIVACY.md, and ios/scripts/sync-proof-privacy-lint.sh. The script performs a local rg scan of PRIVACY.md and emits fixed lint messages; it adds no network request, analytics, crash reporting, or data logging. The documentation changes contain no note contents, sensitive filenames, paths, credentials, tokens, bookmarks, or receipt details.

Full details: Bounded Ios Background Work

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only CHANGELOG.md, PRIVACY.md, and ios/scripts/sync-proof-privacy-lint.sh. The diff contains no Swift changes and no background execution implementation changes. Existing BackgroundSyncService code is outside the pull-request diff, so this check has no introduced unbounded work, missed cleanup, expiration handling, or iOS constraint violation to assess.

Full details: Bridge Contract Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only CHANGELOG.md, PRIVACY.md, and ios/scripts/sync-proof-privacy-lint.sh. The diff contains no Go bridge files, Swift bridge-service files, bridge tests, or exported declarations. The lint script only reads source files and adds a documentation phrase check; it does not change bridge types, JSON shapes, empty-string conventions, or bridge behavior. Therefore this PR introduces no documented Swift-Go bridge contract break.

Comment thread ios/scripts/sync-proof-privacy-lint.sh
A missing or unreadable PRIVACY.md made ripgrep take the no-match branch, so the manual guard could report success without inspecting the policy. Accept only status 1 as a clean no-match while preserving stale-wording failures and propagating read or usage errors. This changes no policy or product behavior.
