Handshake
Peers negotiate identity, features, and the initial trust posture.
Protocol And Replication
Intent first, payload second.
NexusFS synchronizes signed operation knowledge before bulk data. That makes the system more resilient to partial connectivity, delayed blob availability, and audit-oriented verification.
Clock Summary
Each side advertises the highest observed operation counters by device.
Ops Batch
Missing operations move first so replicas can understand intended state.
Blob Fetch
Referenced chunk data is requested only when the receiving side needs it.
Verification pipeline
- Verify the operation signature.
- Check referenced object and blob hashes.
- Apply policy checks before accepting state.
- Validate the configured proof mode when enabled.
- Store and apply the operation idempotently.
