docs: flip the 2.5.0 DRAFT sections live and correct the versioning story (#225)
Pass 2 of the 2.5.0 docs refresh (pass 1 was #209, which left DRAFT blocks commented out for features still in flight). Everything in those blocks has now merged, so this flips them live - verified against the merged code, not restated from PR descriptions. ## What flipped from DRAFT to live - **README.md** Features list + **site-landing/index.html** feature grid: S3-compatible backend (#207), local/removable-folder backend (#212), scheduled integrity scrub (#203), rclone config importer (#213). Guided macOS Full Disk Access onboarding (#216) gets its landing-page card (it was already live in README prose from an earlier pass). - **Restore drill (#215) stays commented out**: the core engine landed but the PR is DRAFT/unmerged with no UI surface a user can click yet. ## Corrections to reality, not just restated PR text - **Footnote 6** no longer says "Google Drive is Driven's only backend today" - flagged stale by two prior agents and left for this pass. - **Versioning does not work on S3 or local-folder destinations** (issue #220): a versioned change forces the create path, and both backends derive a deterministic remote key, so the re-upload overwrites the previous bytes. Nothing on `main` currently gates the per-source versioning toggle to prevent turning it on there (verified in `SourceTable.vue` and `executor.rs`); a fix is open in PR #224 but unmerged as of this writing. The comparison table drops "point-in-time restore" to partial for Driven with a footnote, and the docs now say exactly what the in-app copy already says instead of promising more. - **The integrity scrub's checksum coverage is backend-dependent**, not uniform: full on Drive and `driven-localfs` (which always re-hashes its own committed bytes), but size-only for an S3 object uploaded via multipart, because S3's ETag for one is a digest of part digests, not a plain content digest (`driven-s3`'s own `metadata()` doc comment says as much). The scrub's `classify()` correctly reports these as `Unverifiable` rather than a false pass - the docs now say so too, instead of implying uniform checksum verification. - **APFS snapshots are not a Full Disk Access substitute**, restated everywhere the feature is described (they were already careful about this pre-existing README prose; carried the same discipline into the ROADMAP/DESIGN updates). - Dropped a false "no code change needed to add the next backend" claim and an unconditional "Driven uses your own Google OAuth credentials" line that doesn't hold for the two non-OAuth backends. - Added a compact "Local / removable-folder caveats" note: no trash, FAT32's 4 GiB per-file ceiling (fatal, with a clear message), and Windows' classic 260-character path limit being a real, still-open caveat (`driven-localfs` has no `\\?\` long-path prefixing yet - per PR #212's own "not verified / known caveats" section). ## design/ROADMAP.md and design/DESIGN.md - ROADMAP's "Beyond V1" section is checked off for everything that shipped, including two things that were previously false even after the code landed: the APFS broker being wired into `driven-vss`'s `map_for_volume` seam (confirmed at the actual `assembly::build_vss` macOS call site, not just crate-doc claims - this exact class of gap is what pass 1 caught before), and the FDA onboarding UI existing. - DESIGN.md's crate table (s4.2) and non-goals (s2) now describe three destinations (`driven-drive`, `driven-s3`, `driven-localfs`) behind the `driven-remote::RemoteStore` trait plus the `driven-backend` factory, instead of Drive plus "maybe someday." The point-in-time-versioning section (s5.5.1) gets a note explaining why its Drive-trash-based design does not carry over to a backend with a deterministic key. ## Verification Every claim above was checked against the actual code on `main` (`crates/driven-s3`, `crates/driven-localfs`, `crates/driven-rclone`, `crates/driven-remote`, `crates/driven-apfs`, `crates/driven-vss`, `crates/driven-core/src/scrub.rs`, `ui/src/components/SourceTable.vue`, `ui/src/locales/en-US.json`, `src-tauri/src/assembly.rs`), not restated from PR descriptions. `git diff --check` is clean and the diff introduces no em/en-dashes or other non-ASCII beyond the file's existing superscript footnote / `§` conventions. CHANGELOG.md and version numbers are untouched (release-please's territory). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01Qu8GxMwkuxF7JBzwRjtcw7 Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- ⁴¹ Driven's checkmark is scoped to Windows, where a VSS snapshot lets a locked file (Outlook PST, running DB, VM disk) back up while it is held open. macOS has an equivalent behind an opt-in setting (Settings > Rules): a small privileged helper mounts a read-only APFS local snapshot so a *busy* file can be read: it is off by default, and it does nothing for a Full Disk Access denial. On both macOS and Linux, a file Driven cannot open is in any case classified precisely as a transient lock (`local.file_locked`) versus a macOS Full Disk Access denial (`local.permission_denied`) and skipped with a clear reason in the activity log, rather than misreported as a disk error. Linux has no snapshot equivalent and none is planned. See `design/DESIGN.md` §5.3 and §5.3.2.
103105
- ⁴² Driven's checkmark is scoped to the Google Drive destination. Keeping previous versions relies on a changed file's re-upload landing on a NEW remote object, which is true of a Drive create but not of a destination whose object key is derived from the file name: on S3-compatible stores and local folders the re-upload overwrites the previous copy. Driven therefore does not offer per-source versioning or a restore-by-date on those destinations at all, rather than reporting a point-in-time restore it cannot perform. For recoverability on S3, enable the provider's own bucket versioning. See [issue #220](https://github.com/pmaxhogan/driven/issues/220).

OneDrive and other non-S3-compatible cloud APIs are not implemented.

- ⁴⁴ Driven runs three independent periodic checks, not one: a weekly local re-hash (deep-verify) that catches local bit-rot, a startup / deep-verify remote-existence audit that catches an object deleted at the destination outside Driven, and, added in v2.5.0, a weekly rolling integrity scrub that re-checks each already-backed-up object's size against the destination and, where the destination can supply one, its content checksum too - catching remote-side corruption or tampering that neither of the other two checks can see. On by default; a source's population is swept in bounded slices (500 objects per run by default) rather than all at once. Checksum coverage depends on the destination: full on Google Drive and on a local-folder destination (which always re-hashes the bytes it just wrote); size-only for an S3 object uploaded via multipart, because S3 stores no plain content digest for one, only an ETag that digests the individual parts - the scrub reports those as unverifiable rather than guessing, never as falsely clean.

your whole backup onto the boot disk underneath the mount point). Beyond that:
