Record the successful Linux AFP smoke-suite run for the WebSDK Backup Date/Time Set File Information field. The smoke output confirms bitmap 0x2000, the AFP backup timestamp value derived from epoch 1700000000, and the corresponding mars_nwe archive metadata xattr.
This documents the intended split between the Archive file attribute, which is mapped through the existing NetWare attribute path, and the Backup Date/Time field, which is routed through nwarchive.c and stored in org.mars-nwe.netware.archive.
Tested-by: ./afp_smoke_suite.sh ... --backup-time-only --backup-time-epoch 1700000000 (reported failures=0)
Implement the WebSDK AFP Set File Information Backup Date/Time request bitmap as a narrow metadata write that reuses mars_nwe's existing archive metadata helper instead of adding a new AFP-specific storage path.
The AFP Attributes word already maps Archive through the NetWare FILE_ATTR_A path; Backup Date/Time is a separate SetInfo field and belongs in the existing nwarchive.c archive date/time metadata. Include nwarchive.h in nwconn, fill the AFP information record's Backup Date/Time fields from mars_nwe_get_archive_info(), and accept the SetInfo 0x2000 bitmap by calling mars_nwe_set_archive_info() after the normal AFP path resolution and Modify-rights gate.
Extend the Linux Set File Information smoke helper with --backup-time-epoch/--backup-time-only, verify the returned 120-byte file information record at offsets 28/30, and have afp_smoke_suite.sh dump user.org.mars-nwe.netware.archive so reports prove that the WebSDK field is stored through the NetWare archive metadata path.
Tests: git diff --check; bash -n tests/linux/afp_smoke_suite.sh; gcc -Iinclude -I/mnt/data/stubs -fsyntax-only tests/linux/afp_set_file_info_smoke.c
The AFP Set/Get File Information attribute path now follows the WebSDK attribute word instead of the earlier low-bit smoke placeholders. Hidden, System, and Archive are mapped through the existing NetWare attribute store as FILE_ATTR_H, FILE_ATTR_S, and FILE_ATTR_A, while FinderInfo and Entry-ID remain AFP-specific metadata.
Record the runtime smoke result that verified the corrected bit layout. The suite reports failures=0, exercises Hidden, System, and Archive set/clear with the documented 0x0200, 0x0400, and 0x2000 attribute bits, and confirms the SetInfo request bitmaps 0x0100 Attributes, 0x1000 Modify Date/Time, and 0x4000 FinderInfo.
Also document that user.org.mars-nwe.afp.attributes may legitimately be absent after this mapping: the tested attribute bits are no longer stored as AFP-only xattrs, so ENODATA in the optional xattr dump is expected when no AFP-only bits remain set.
Test status: based on the provided mars-afp-smoke report from 2026-05-30 18:04:21, which completed with failures=0 and preserved the expected FinderInfo, Entry-ID, Modify timestamp, DOS-name, Open Fork, SetInfo, and rights-negative coverage.
After aligning AFP Set File Information with the WebSDK attribute word,
Hidden, System, and Archive are represented by the existing NetWare
attribute store instead of org.mars-nwe.afp.attributes. The default smoke
path can therefore legitimately have no AFP-only attribute xattr once those
bits are cleared or mapped away.
Update afp_smoke_suite.sh to treat the AFP-only attributes xattr dump as
optional while still reporting the getfattr output. FinderInfo and Entry
ID xattrs remain mandatory because they are still AFP-specific metadata
stores.
Tests: bash -n tests/linux/afp_smoke_suite.sh
The WebSDK/NCP AFP File Information records use a distinct SetInfo request bitmap and attribute word. The previous smoke-oriented implementation reused the low response-bit positions for Set Attributes, Modify Date/Time, FinderInfo, Hidden/Invisible, System, and Archive. That made the current tests pass, but it was not faithful to the documented header semantics and risked keeping AFP metadata parallel to existing NetWare attributes.
Switch Set File Information to the documented request bitmap values: 0x0100 for Attributes, 0x1000 for Modify Date/Time, and 0x4000 for FinderInfo. Switch the AFP attribute word to the documented NetWare-style bits: Hidden 0x0200, System 0x0400, Subdirectory 0x1000, and Archive 0x2000.
Map Hidden, System, and Archive through the existing NetWare attribute store via FILE_ATTR_H, FILE_ATTR_S, and FILE_ATTR_A. This keeps AFP Set/Get/Scan aligned with mars_nwe's existing attribute helper instead of maintaining duplicate AFP-only xattr state. FinderInfo remains AFP metadata and still uses the Modify-rights gate added earlier.
Update the Linux smoke helper and suite to use --hidden / --clear-hidden while keeping --invisible / --clear-invisible as compatibility aliases. Document the corrected WebSDK bit values and the convergence rule that NetWare attributes must use mars_nwe NetWare helpers.
Tests: git diff --check; bash -n tests/linux/afp_smoke_suite.sh; gcc -Iinclude -I/mnt/data/stubs -fsyntax-only tests/linux/afp_set_file_info_smoke.c
Document the verified Linux smoke-suite result for the AFP Set File Information metadata rights gate.
The suite now uses the existing ncpfs trustee utilities to grant NOPASSUSER only read/file-scan rights on the smoke file, then verifies that FinderInfo, Invisible, and System metadata writes are rejected with completion 0x8c while the SUPERVISOR positive path remains green.
This records the intended WebSDK/NWAFP adapter semantics: AFP-specific xattrs remain the storage for FinderInfo and AFP-only metadata bits, but writes to those xattrs are still file metadata changes and must pass mars_nwe's NetWare Modify trustee policy instead of bypassing it.
Tests:
- afp_smoke_suite.sh --readonly-user NOPASSUSER --readonly-no-password --prepare-readonly-rights
- FinderInfo negative Set File Information -> 0x8c
- Invisible negative Set File Information -> 0x8c
- System negative Set File Information -> 0x8c
- final nwrevoke cleanup succeeds
- suite summary failures=0
