Code Review
This pull request introduces the IncrementalReadNotReadyError to handle temporary 404 errors during incremental syncs by aborting the cycle and retrying without advancing the events cursor. However, the reviewer identified a critical liveness bug: if a file is created and quickly deleted on the remote, the initial creation event will permanently return a 404, causing an infinite retry loop that stalls the sync daemon. To resolve this, the reviewer suggests implementing a time-based fallback (e.g., 10 minutes) to safely treat persistent 404s as deletions and allow the cursor to advance.

Potential Deadlock / Liveness Bug on File Deletion
If a file is created and then quickly deleted on the remote, the event stream will contain a file.created event followed by a file.deleted event. If these events span across different pages of the event feed, the syncer will process the file.created event first.
When calling ReadFile for this file, the remote will return a 404 Not Found because the file has already been deleted. With this new implementation, the syncer will return an IncrementalReadNotReadyError and abort the sync cycle without advancing the events cursor.
On subsequent sync cycles, the syncer will resume from the same cursor and retry the same file.created event, which will repeatedly fail with a 404 Not Found. Because the cursor is never advanced, the syncer will never reach the file.deleted event in the subsequent page, resulting in a permanent deadlock/infinite retry loop that completely stalls the sync daemon.
Recommendation
Introduce a time-based fallback (e.g., 10 minutes). If the event's timestamp is older than 10 minutes, we can safely assume the 404 is permanent (either due to deletion or a ghost event) and fall back to the old behavior of treating it as a deletion and continuing, rather than stalling the daemon indefinitely.
if err != nil {
var httpErr *HTTPError
if errors.As(err, &httpErr) && httpErr.StatusCode == http.StatusNotFound {
var isOld bool
if event.Timestamp != "" {
if t, err := time.Parse(time.RFC3339, event.Timestamp); err == nil {
if time.Since(t) > 10*time.Minute {
isOld = true
}
}
}
if isOld {
s.logf("changed event for %s is still unreadable after 10 minutes; treating as deleted", remotePath)
if err := s.applyRemoteDelete(remotePath, conflicted); err != nil {
return err
}
s.markIncrementalCheckpoint(pageStartCursor, pageCursor, "changed", remotePath)
continue

🚩 Permanently-404 files will block incremental cursor advancement indefinitely
The old code at syncer.go:4156-4160 treated a 404 on a changed path as a deletion, allowing the cursor to advance. The new code at syncer.go:4174-4181 returns IncrementalReadNotReadyError, which prevents cursor advancement. If a file is permanently unreachable (e.g., created then deleted across event pages, or a transient resource that never materializes), the incremental path will retry that page every cycle forever. The periodic full pull (forceFullPull at syncer.go:2510-2553, default every 20 cycles) provides a safety net—it successfully syncs the full tree—but it explicitly does NOT advance the EventsCursor (comment at syncer.go:2544: "Intentionally leave s.state.EventsCursor unchanged"). This means 19 out of 20 cycles will fail with IncrementalReadNotReadyError, and only every 20th cycle converges via full pull. This is likely an acceptable tradeoff for the "not readable yet" use case this PR targets, but it's a meaningful behavioral change for permanently-gone files worth documenting.
