Reported as "the folder arrives empty". It was not empty. The folder was 0700
and owned by the account that wrote it, so the account that COLLECTS — an rsync
over ssh, a backup agent, anything that is not the writer — could not enter it,
and an unreadable directory looks exactly like an empty one. The invoice had
been sitting in it the whole time.

The cause is that the default follows the process umask, so under a restrictive
one 0755 quietly becomes 0700. The permissions are declared on the disk now
rather than left to inherit, and a test writes under umask 0077 and asserts the
mode — the ordinary umask hides this completely, which is why it was found on a
server and not here.

Two mistakes of mine on the way to it, both worth recording. I read the folder
as the wrong user, got no entries back, and concluded the file had been deleted
— it was a permission failure reading as an unprivileged account, not a missing
file. And the first fix was a chmod on a variable that does not exist in that
method, silenced by an @ so it failed without a word. Flysystem takes its
permissions from configuration; a chmod afterwards was the wrong layer even
before it was the wrong variable.

nexxo d8ff717cb5 Let a destination say how it is laid out and how long anything stays
tests / pest (push) Failing after 7m29s Details

Two destinations doing two jobs. A handover directory a NAS collects from wants
a folder per day and wants emptying — thirty days is enough to notice a NAS that
stopped collecting, and keeping more only hides it. An archive on the NAS itself
wants a folder per year and wants nothing deleted, ever. So both are per
destination rather than global.

Deleting is safe here in a way it usually is not, and that is worth saying
plainly: the invoice is a frozen document in the database and its PDF is
rendered from that on demand. Nothing is moved anywhere — it is copied, and
anything removed from a directory can be produced again and re-exported. The
directory is a handover point, not the record.

keep_days is null by default and stays null unless somebody sets it: a retention
rule nobody asked for is a deletion nobody expected. The prune only touches
folders whose NAME is one of the two shapes this application writes, and leaves
everything else alone — a prune that deletes what it does not recognise is how
an archive loses something nobody was watching. It also skips a destination
whose path is missing rather than acting on whatever is underneath an absent
mountpoint.

The shape is matched with a pattern before parsing rather than by handing
nonsense to Carbon: under strict mode createFromFormat throws instead of
returning false, so one folder somebody made by hand would have ended the whole
prune instead of being skipped. The test with a foreign folder in it found that.

nexxo b3081a544b Let the export have as many destinations as somebody wants

One path and one exported_at could not say "on the office NAS, not yet on the
off-site box" — which is the only interesting question once there is more than
one destination, and the reason for a second is precisely that any single one
can fail. A row per destination now, and a row per (invoice, destination) pair.

Two kinds, and the difference is where the protocol lives. 'local' is a
directory this machine can already write to: a NAS mounted over NFS 4.1, a bind
mount, a disk. The application knows nothing about the protocol, the target
changes without code changing with it, and the whole thing stays testable
against a temporary directory. 'sftp' is for something reachable with
credentials — a Hetzner Storage Box being the obvious one — and the password
goes into the secret vault with only its key on the row, because a credential
in a settings table is a credential in every database dump. An empty password
field on an existing target means unchanged, not cleared: the field cannot show
what is stored, so blank-means-delete would wipe it on every unrelated edit.

One job per pair rather than one per invoice. A job writing to both would retry
the one that worked every time the other did not, and report one outcome for
two different things.

The ordering fix the tests found: Laravel's local adapter creates its root when
it is CONSTRUCTED, so the "never create the root" guard was checking a
directory the disk had just made for it. It runs before the disk is built now.
That guard is the difference between an archive and a hole in the ground — mkdir
on an absent mountpoint succeeds, writes onto the container's own disk and
reports success, and an archive that silently is not the archive is worse than
none.

The single path from the previous commit is migrated into a destination called
"Archiv" rather than dropped.

nexxo ab4b0311d4 Copy every invoice to the archive when it is issued, and notice when that fails
tests / pest (push) Failing after 11m24s Details

tests / release (push) Has been skipped Details
The application knows nothing about NFS and should not. It writes to a
directory; whether that is a local disk, a bind mount or a NAS over NFS 4.1
belongs to the mount. No protocol library, the target changes without code
changing with it, and the whole thing is testable against a temp directory.

The finding that shaped it: mkdir -p on a path whose mount is NOT there
succeeds. It creates the empty directory beneath the mountpoint, writes the
invoice onto the container's own disk and reports success — so an unmounted NAS
would quietly collect invoices locally while every check said it worked. An
archive that silently is not the archive is worse than none. The root is
therefore never created, only used: a missing root means a missing mount, and
that is a failure. Only the year subdirectory is created, inside a root already
proven to exist.

Written to a .part and renamed. A rename within one filesystem is atomic, so
whatever watches that folder never sees a truncated PDF and takes it for a
finished invoice. The size is read back afterwards rather than the write being
trusted: over a network mount a short write can report success, and an archive
of truncated files looks exactly like one that worked.

Queued, not done during the request. A network mount can block for its whole
timeout, and an invoice must not fail to be issued because a NAS is rebooting.
Dispatched after the commit, or a worker could look for an invoice that has not
landed yet.

And copy-on-issue is not enough on its own: an invoice issued while the office
connection was down never arrives, the queue eventually gives up, and nobody
opens an archive to check whether last Tuesday is in it. An hourly sweep
re-queues whatever is still missing, the failure is recorded on the invoice
rather than only in a log, and the Finance page says how many are outstanding.
