get_sync_file — Group 14, Code 10
Fetch an integrity sync artifact from a peer.
Purpose
get_sync_file retrieves the file used for integrity synchronization. Treat it as infrastructure-level replication data rather than an end-user content API.
Request forms
| Request type | Body size | Developer note |
|---|---|---|
| Legacy client request | 19 bytes | Backward-compatible request form still accepted by the live implementation. |
| Type 7 inter-RAIDA request | 3 bytes | Compact sync request used for modern inter-RAIDA integrity traffic. |
Implementation notes
The live handler includes a loopback test path keyed by the test denomination constant. Do not rely on that diagnostic mode for production synchronization logic.
