A delta downloader reuses matching local blocks and fetches the rest with batched ranges: the digest manifest must describe exactly the remote block count · case 02
A delta downloader reuses matching local blocks and fetches the rest with batched ranges: the digest manifest must describe exactly the remote block count.
Case contract
x has remote total length, block size, one remote digest per block (the last block may be short), local digests per local block with the local file length, and a per-request range limit R>=1. Reject nonpositive block size, negative total, or a manifest whose count is not ceil(total/block). Only complete local blocks may be copied; a full remote block whose digest occurs at any local position is copied from the first such complete local block as [dest-offset,source-offset,length]. The short final remote block is always fetched. Missing bytes form maximal adjacent inclusive runs, sent in consecutive batches of at most R ranges. Return [copies,Range values].
Why this case matters
Range responses combine representation identity, conditional requests, framing, and partial-object state.
