12 months ago ENG-305 Block Tracking
Our platform doesn't know when we can discard old blocks. We need a way to trim out data that has gone outside of our versioning and storage window. The only place that has this information is inside Tomb during delta generation. We need to track if any blocks (identified by CID) are no longer directly referenced by the WNFS filesystem after changes has occurred. I would expect to see one or more entries for each file that was deleted (I believe folders only change the metadata content and wouldn't require a re-upload). This data should be included in the metadata upload payload to the metadata service. Why: Trash collection mgmt bc we can't view metadata itself NB: written in Tomb
