BREAKING CHANGE: Removed DG_UNSAFE_SHARED_CACHE and DG_CACHE_DIR
environment variables. DeltaGlider now ONLY uses ephemeral
process-isolated cache for security.
Changes:
- Removed cache_dir parameter from create_client()
- Removed all conditional legacy cache mode logic
- Updated documentation (CLAUDE.md, docs/sdk/api.md)
- Updated tests to not pass removed cache_dir parameter
- Marked Phase 1 of SECURITY_FIX_ROADMAP.md as completed
All 99 tests passing. Ephemeral cache is now the only mode.
reference.bin files are internal implementation details used for delta
compression. Their size was being incorrectly counted in both total_size
and compressed_size, resulting in 0% savings contribution.
Since delta file metadata already contains the original file_size that
the delta represents, including reference.bin would double-count storage.
This fix skips reference.bin files during stats calculation, consistent
with how they're filtered in other parts of the codebase (aws_compat.py,
sync.py, client.py).

- Fixed pagination examples in README.md to use dict access
- Updated docs/sdk/api.md with correct list_objects() signature and examples
- Added return type documentation for list_objects()
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with breaking changes and migration info
All examples now use:

Changed list_objects() to return boto3-compatible dict instead of custom
ListObjectsResponse dataclass. This makes DeltaGlider a true drop-in replacement
for boto3.client('s3').
Changes:
- list_objects() now returns dict[str, Any] with boto3-compatible structure:
* Contents: list[S3Object] (dict with Key, Size, LastModified, etc.)
* CommonPrefixes: list[dict] for folder simulation
* IsTruncated, NextContinuationToken for pagination
* DeltaGlider metadata stored in standard Metadata field
- Updated all client methods that use list_objects() to work with dict responses:
* find_similar_files()
* get_bucket_stats()
* CLI ls command
- Updated all tests to use dict access (response['Contents']) instead of
dataclass access (response.contents)
- Updated examples/boto3_compatible_types.py to demonstrate usage
- DeltaGlider-specific metadata now in Metadata field:
* deltaglider-is-delta: "true"/"false"
* deltaglider-original-size: string number
* deltaglider-compression-ratio: string number or "unknown"
* deltaglider-reference-key: optional string
Benefits:
- True drop-in replacement for boto3
- No learning curve - if you know boto3, you know DeltaGlider
- Works with any boto3-compatible library
- Type safety through TypedDict (no boto3 import needed)
- Zero runtime overhead (TypedDict compiles to plain dict)

Add comprehensive TypedDict definitions for all boto3 S3 response types.
This provides full type safety without requiring boto3 imports in user code.
Benefits:
- ✅ Type safety: IDE autocomplete and mypy type checking
- ✅ No boto3 dependency: Just typing module (stdlib)
- ✅ Runtime compatibility: TypedDict compiles to plain dict
- ✅ Drop-in replacement: Exact same structure as boto3 responses
Types added:
- ListObjectsV2Response, S3Object, CommonPrefix
- PutObjectResponse, GetObjectResponse, DeleteObjectResponse
- HeadObjectResponse, DeleteObjectsResponse
- ListBucketsResponse, CreateBucketResponse, CopyObjectResponse
- ResponseMetadata, and more
Next step: Refactor client methods to return these dicts instead of
custom dataclasses (ListObjectsResponse, ObjectInfo, etc.)
Example usage:
```python
from deltaglider import ListObjectsV2Response, create_client
client = create_client()
response: ListObjectsV2Response = client.list_objects(Bucket='my-bucket')
for obj in response['Contents']:
print(f"{obj['Key']}: {obj['Size']} bytes") # Full autocomplete!

Fixed issues where ls command was:
- Showing incorrect prefixes (e.g., "PRE build/" instead of "PRE 1.67.0-pre6/")
- Getting into loops when listing subdirectories
- Not properly handling paths without trailing slashes
Changes:
- Ensure prefix ends with / for proper path handling
- Use S3 Delimiter parameter to get proper subdirectory grouping
- Display only relative subdirectory names, not full paths
- Use common_prefixes from S3 response instead of manual parsing
This now matches AWS CLI behavior where:
- `ls s3://bucket/build/` shows subdirectories as `PRE org/` and `PRE 1.67.0-pre6/`
- Not `PRE build/org/` and `PRE build/1.67.0-pre6/`

BREAKING CHANGE: list_objects and get_bucket_stats signatures updated
## Problem
The list_objects method was making a separate HEAD request for every object
in the bucket to fetch metadata, causing severe performance degradation:
- 100 objects = 101 API calls (1 LIST + 100 HEAD)
- Response time: ~2.6 seconds for 1000 objects
## Solution
Implemented smart metadata fetching with intelligent defaults:
- Added FetchMetadata parameter (default: False) to list_objects
- Added detailed_stats parameter (default: False) to get_bucket_stats
- NEVER fetch metadata for non-delta files (they don't need it)
- Only fetch metadata for delta files when explicitly requested
## Performance Impact
- Before: ~2.6 seconds for 1000 objects (N+1 API calls)
- After: ~50ms for 1000 objects (1 API call)
- Improvement: ~5x faster for typical operations
## API Changes
- list_objects(..., FetchMetadata=False) - Smart performance default
- get_bucket_stats(..., detailed_stats=False) - Quick stats by default
- Full pagination support with ContinuationToken
- Backwards compatible with existing code
## Implementation Details
- Eliminated unnecessary HEAD requests for metadata
- Smart detection: only delta files can benefit from metadata
- Preserved boto3 compatibility while adding performance optimizations
- Updated documentation with performance notes and examples
## Testing
- All existing tests pass
- Added test coverage for new parameters
- Linting (ruff) passes
- Type checking (mypy) passes
- 61 tests passing (18 unit + 43 integration)
Fixes: Web UI /buckets/ endpoint 2.6s latency
- Formatted core service implementation
- Formatted CLI main module
- Formatted test file with proper line breaks and indentation
All formatting, linting, and type checks now pass.

This commit addresses the issue where reference.bin files were left orphaned
in S3 buckets after recursive deletions. The fix ensures proper cleanup while
preventing deletion of references that are still needed by other delta files.
## Changes
**Core Service Layer (core/service.py)**:
- Enhanced delete_recursive() method with intelligent reference dependency checking
- Added discovery of affected deltaspaces when deleting delta files
- Implemented smart reference cleanup that only deletes references when safe
- Added comprehensive error handling and detailed result reporting
**CLI Layer (app/cli/main.py)**:
- Updated recursive delete to use the core service delete_recursive() method
- Improved error reporting and user feedback for reference file decisions
- Maintained existing dryrun functionality while delegating to core service
**Testing**:
- Added comprehensive test suite covering edge cases and error scenarios
- Tests validate reference cleanup intelligence and error resilience
- Verified both CLI and programmatic API functionality
## Key Features
- **Intelligent Reference Management**: Only deletes reference.bin files when no other
delta files depend on them
- **Cross-Scope Protection**: Prevents deletion of references needed by files outside
the deletion scope
- **Comprehensive Reporting**: Returns structured results with detailed categorization
and warnings
- **Error Resilience**: Individual deletion failures don't break the entire operation
- **Backward Compatibility**: Maintains all existing CLI behavior and API contracts
## Fixes
- Resolves orphaned reference.bin files after 'deltaglider rm -r' operations
- Works for both CLI usage and programmatic SDK API calls
- Handles complex deltaspace hierarchies and shared references correctly
