WIP / request for feedback

This is an early, desktop-only implementation of a local workspace Markdown mirror. It is intentionally opened as a draft: the synchronization and safety model is in place, but the generated Markdown format still needs design work before this should be considered ready.

The main unresolved issue is the shape of the Markdown itself. To support safe synchronization back into AFFiNE, generated files currently contain strict frontmatter and stable HTML block markers. Those controls preserve document and block identity, but they also make the files less natural to read and edit than ordinary hand-written Markdown. I would especially value feedback on how to retain reliable round trips while making the files cleaner.

Motivation

I want workspace documents to be natively available as files on disk instead of being visible only through the application or a specialized API.

My primary use case is AI-agent visibility: filesystem-native documents can be discovered, searched, indexed, referenced, and included in agent context with ordinary file tools. The same representation can also help command-line workflows, local search, backup inspection, and other integrations.

AFFiNE remains the canonical source of truth. The mirror is a readable, managed projection of the workspace rather than a replacement storage engine.

What this adds

  • An experimental Electron-only Local workspace mirror feature flag and workspace storage settings panel.
  • A selected project directory containing a managed .affine mirror.
  • Human-readable workspace navigation in index.md and document files under docs/.
  • Managed metadata, snapshots, baselines, assets, and a versioned manifest under .affine/.metadata/.
  • Debounced filesystem watching and rescans after startup, resume, and visibility changes.
  • Controlled synchronization of supported Markdown edits back into existing AFFiNE documents.
  • Explicit conflict, permission, ownership, unsupported-content, and migration states in the UI.

How it works

  1. The user selects a project directory and enables the experimental mirror.
  2. AFFiNE serializes the workspace into a new generation under .affine.
  3. The Electron helper stages files transactionally, validates paths and ownership, checks hashes, and publishes the manifest last.
  4. A watcher coalesces filesystem changes and asks the renderer to rescan manifest-owned files.
  5. For supported document edits, AFFiNE compares the generated baseline, the edited local Markdown, and the current AFFiNE document.
  6. Non-conflicting operations are prepared and validated before the document is mutated. Concurrent or unsupported changes fail closed instead of silently overwriting data.

The helper also validates symlink/path boundaries, uses compare-and-swap style live hashes during finalization, preserves unrelated files, and can recover interrupted mirror transactions.

Current limitations

  • The generated frontmatter and affine-mirror:block comments are functional synchronization controls, but they make the Markdown visually noisy.
  • Round-trip editing is intentionally limited to supported direct leaf blocks in existing page documents, currently paragraphs, lists, code blocks, and dividers.
  • Rich or structural AFFiNE content may be read-only or permit text-only edits; edgeless documents remain protected.
  • Creating, restoring, or freely restructuring AFFiNE documents from arbitrary local Markdown is not supported.
  • Unknown files are preserved but are not imported automatically.
  • The feature is disabled by default and should be treated as experimental.

Validation

  • Focused Vitest suite: 7 files passed, 61 tests passed, 1 benchmark-style test skipped by default.
  • Final service regression run: 13 tests passed.
  • Prettier, ESLint, Oxlint, and git diff --check passed for the changed scope.
  • Scoped TypeScript builds report no diagnostics in changed files. The checkout still reports unrelated diagnostics outside this PR, including the repository hook failure in packages/backend/server/src/__tests__/workspace/blobs.e2e.ts.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ed5fc

The PR introduces a desktop workspace mirror, but the current implementation can partially apply failed document edits and omit attachment content from generated Markdown. It also has bounded synchronization, watcher, and large-workspace performance issues, so the current head is not merge-ready until the data-integrity paths are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Both mirror suites drive the 750 ms debounce with real wall-clock sleeps. The shared root cause is the use of setTimeout waits to cross debounce and quiet-window boundaries. The waits add several seconds to the suites and can flake when CI scheduling delays the timer. Use vi.useFakeTimers() with vi.advanceTimersByTimeAsync so the boundaries are exact.

Add coverage for the inbound apply path.

The scanTarget mock always returns hashes that equal the manifest hashes, so changedPaths in reconcileInbound is always empty. Every inbound test therefore exercises only the early-return branch on lines 688-695 of service.ts. The apply, merge-conflict, unsupported-change, and permission-denied branches carry the highest risk in this feature and have no service-level coverage.

Add at least one case where a markdown hash differs from the manifest hash, and assert the resulting status$ value.

Close a handle that reported an error.

The error listener schedules a rescan but keeps the failed handle in watcher.handles. On most platforms an FSWatcher stops delivering events after an error, so the mirror silently loses coverage for that directory while the handle stays open. Close the handle and drop it from the set, then let the rescan re-establish coverage.

🛠️ Proposed handle cleanup
-  handle.on('error', () => scheduleChanged(watcher));
+  handle.on('error', () => {

Avoid the second full read of managed files.

currentHash on line 619 already streams the whole file, and line 629 reads the same file again into memory. For markdown and baseline files this doubles the I/O on every inbound scan. Read the bytes once, then derive the hash from the buffer.

Release tracked ids even when the handler rejects.

mirrorLeases.delete and mirrorWatchers.delete run only after await handler(...args) resolves. If abortGeneration or stopWatching rejects, the id stays in the tracking set for the lifetime of the connection. The close handler then calls the helper again for an id that no longer exists. The calls are no-ops today, so the impact is limited to stale bookkeeping, but the cleanup belongs in a finally for these two operations.

Extract the mirror lifecycle policy out of the generic RPC wrapper.

handlerWithLog now contains five mirror-specific branches that inspect namespace, handler name, argument shape, and result shape. The wrapper was previously generic logging only. Moving this policy into a small dedicated module, for example createMirrorConnectionTracker() with before(name, args) and after(name, args, result) hooks, keeps the RPC layer free of feature logic and makes the ownership rules testable in isolation.

Consider z.discriminatedUnion for the manifest union.

Both branches are discriminated by the formatVersion literal. z.discriminatedUnion('formatVersion', [...]) selects one branch and reports a single precise error path. The current z.union reports the aggregated errors of both branches, which makes manifest migration failures harder to diagnose.

Export now omits unavailable assets without any signal.

createAssetsArchive skips any id that is not present in the asset map (see blocksuite/affine/widgets/linked-doc/src/transformers/utils.ts lines 195-208). serializeDoc returns every referenced id in assetsIds, even when readFromBlob fails to load the blob. The removed missing-assets error branch means exportDoc can now produce a zip that silently lacks referenced files. Report the missing ids to the user, or restore an explicit error.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Watch the managed directories even when they do not exist yet.

The directory set comes only from the current manifest paths. watchDirectory returns early when lstat fails, so a directory that is created later is never watched. ensureWatcher in service.ts returns early when watcherId is set, so the watcher is not rebuilt after the next generation. A first document created after an empty initial mirror can therefore produce a docs/ directory that no handle observes. Edits in that directory are then missed until the watcher restarts.

Add the standard managed directories to the set, and re-register handles when a watched directory appears.

Route database updates to the incremental path.

Lines 337-344 send every update for the workspace doc, db$*, and userdata$* to a full reconciliation. reconcile on lines 996-1026 then opens, loads, and re-serializes every document in the workspace, and rewrites all managed files. Database updates are frequent: tag edits, property edits, favorites, and folder moves all write to db$ documents. With a large workspace each of those edits triggers an O(number of documents) serialization pass on the renderer.

Consider limiting the full pass to changes that actually alter the document set or the readable paths, and reuse reconcileDocuments plus a projection-only rewrite for metadata-only updates. haveMirrorDocumentPathsChanged on line 1120 already provides the escalation check that reconcileDocuments needs.

Handle the rejection from the discarded watcher.

Line 391 calls stopWatching without await and without catch. The desktop API returns a promise, so a rejection becomes an unhandled promise rejection in the renderer. stopRuntime on line 377 already guards the same call with Promise.resolve(...).catch(console.error). Apply the same guard here.

     if (!this.runtimeActive || this.config.projectRoot !== projectRoot) {
-      this.desktopApi.handler.mirror.stopWatching({
-        watcherId: result.watcherId,
-      });
+      Promise.resolve(
+        this.desktopApi.handler.mirror.stopWatching({
+          watcherId: result.watcherId,
+        })
+      ).catch(console.error);
       return;
     }

Keep the import guard active until all queued document saves complete. applyMirrorReconciliation queues a save synchronously, but subscribeDocUpdate fires only after the asynchronous pushDocUpdate completes. The finally block removes the guard first, so the storage callback schedules an outbound reconciliation for the imported document. Await the relevant DocFrontend.waitForUpdated barrier, including workspace metadata updates, before removing the guard.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe the supported import direction correctly.

The mirror imports supported Markdown edits into existing documents. The phrase “one-way copy” conflicts with this behavior. State that AFFiNE remains canonical while supported edits can synchronize back.
