Subject: [PATCH v2 11/16] repack-geometry: prepare for incremental MIDX repacking
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:37:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f5642a46bbd1cb092c525a14b5f7e2233db3ea56.1776803827.git.me@ttaylorr.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1776803827.git.me@ttaylorr.com>
Teach `pack_geometry_init()` to optionally restrict the set of
repacking candidates to only packs in the tip MIDX layer when a
`midx_layer_threshold` is configured. If the tip layer has fewer packs
than the threshold, those packs are excluded entirely; otherwise only
packs in that layer participate in the geometric repack.
Also track whether any tip-layer packs were included in the rollup
(`midx_tip_rewritten`), which a subsequent commit will use to decide
how to update the MIDX chain after repacking.
