The sync guard could not read the repository database because bsdtar was not
installed on the host, and the first fix was to parse around its absence. The
better answer is for the host to have what the tooling needs: libarchive ships
the library pacman links against without necessarily installing the binary, so
bsdtar being present was an assumption, not a fact.
bin/setup installs the dependencies, enables Docker, creates the state
directory, and installs and enables the release timers -- the steps the README
previously listed by hand. It is idempotent and takes --check to report without
changing anything. Signing credentials and the rclone remote hold secrets, so
it reports on those rather than creating them.
sync-repo goes back to reading the database with bsdtar alone, and says to run
bin/setup when it is missing.

The partial-tree guard parsed omarchy.db with bsdtar, which is not installed on
the repository host. Every sync there aborted with "the remote database exists
but could not be read" -- a guard meant to catch a partial tree instead blocked
a complete one, stopping a publish after sign, promote and update had already
succeeded.
GNU tar reads the database fine when it is a seekable file; the pipe was what
defeated it originally, and that is already downloaded to a temp file. tar now
leads, with bsdtar as a fallback for a tar too old to detect zstd.

The worst was fatal: push passed --skip-prod-check to upload-prebuilt, which
forwards every argument to sign, promote and update as well, and sign rejects
unknown options. Every non-dry-run push and deploy would have uploaded and
verified its artifacts and then failed before signing. upload-prebuilt now
routes publishing flags to sync alone.
The partial-tree guard was weaker than it looked:
- it counted archive files locally against package names in the remote
database, and this tree keeps two versions per package, so a checkout with
a spare version of half the repository could pass while still hiding
hundreds of packages. It now compares package-name sets and lists what
would be hidden.
- it treated any unreadable remote as an empty one, so an auth failure or a
corrupt database disabled it. Only rclone's "directory not found" now
counts as a fresh mirror; every other failure aborts.
Also:
- sync had no set -e, so a failed package upload fell through to publishing
the database, advertising packages that were never uploaded. Each transfer
is now checked before the next step.
- --package with no names silently meant "every package", which under --yes
could publish everything from one unset variable in a script.
- push now refuses to run when the host has packages staged from an earlier
failure, since publishing would sign and promote those too.
- epoch versions contain a colon, which rsync reads as host:path, so no
package with an epoch could be transferred. Sources are ./-prefixed.
- remote paths are quoted for the remote shell.
- sync spun forever on a missing option value.

Heavy packages build faster on a local machine, but there was no way to get
the artifacts to the server: bin/upload-prebuilt publishes to the rclone
remote from whatever tree it runs in, so the local -> host hop was manual.
bin/repo push rsyncs build-output artifacts to the host, verifies checksums,
and runs upload-prebuilt over ssh. Signing stays on the host, which is the
only machine with the key and the only one holding a complete repository.
Publishing from a local checkout was worse than merely unsupported. sync ran
rclone sync --delete-after against a tree that pkgs.omarchy.org/ gitignores,
so on any machine that had not run a full release it would have deleted the
production repository -- guarded only by a y/N prompt that --skip-prod-check
turns off. Package uploads are now additive, deletion moves behind --prune,
and sync refuses to publish a database built from a tree holding fewer
packages than the remote already lists.
