Migrate to FUSE 3.x API (#350)
* Migrate to FUSE 3.x API

- Update FUSE_USE_VERSION from 26 to 30
- Replace fuse_mount/fuse_unmount with fuse_session_mount/fuse_session_unmount
- Update fuse_new() to take args first, remove channel parameter
- Add flags parameter to readdir handler (enum fuse_readdir_flags)
- Add flags parameter to rename handler (for renameat2 support)
- Update filler function calls to include FUSE_FILL_DIR_PLUS flag
- Merge ftruncate into truncate handler (FUSE 3 combines them)
- Update fuse_loop_mt to fuse_loop_mt_31 with loop config
- Link against libfuse3 instead of libfuse
- Remove fuse_chan usage (deprecated in FUSE 3)

Addresses #342

* Remove deprecated FUSE options nonempty and hard_remove

- nonempty: Removed in FUSE 3.0, mounting on non-empty directories is now default behavior
- hard_remove: High-level API option not available in FUSE 3, immediate unlink is standard

These options are no longer recognized by FUSE 3 and cause mount errors.

* Fix init handler signature for FUSE 3

FUSE 3 init handler requires struct fuse_config* parameter.
This parameter provides access to high-level API configuration
options that can be modified during initialization.

Without this parameter, the init handler signature is incompatible
with FUSE 3, causing filesystem operations to fail.

* Add FUSE 2/3 backward compatibility

Automatically detects and builds against either FUSE 2 or FUSE 3:
- detect_fuse.sh script checks for fuse3 or fuse pkg-config
- Makefile dynamically sets FUSE_USE_VERSION, CFLAGS, and LDFLAGS
- Conditional compilation (#if FUSE_USE_VERSION >= 30) for API differences:
  * init handler signature (fuse_config parameter)
  * readdir handler signature (flags parameter)
  * rename handler signature (flags parameter)
  * truncate handler signature (fuse_file_info parameter)
  * filler function calls (flags parameter)
  * fuse_loop_mt vs fuse_loop_mt_31
  * mount/unmount sequence (fuse_session_mount vs fuse_mount)
  * ftruncate operations struct member

Maintains full compatibility with both FUSE 2.x (Debian Bookworm) and
FUSE 3.x (Debian Testing+) without requiring separate code branches.

* Add FORCE_FUSE build option and fix hardcoded version

- Remove hardcoded FUSE_USE_VERSION defines from source files
- Add FORCE_FUSE=2 or FORCE_FUSE=3 Makefile option to override detection
- Fix FUSE 2 channel tracking (psync_fuse_channel variable)
- Properly store and use channel in mount/unmount for FUSE 2

Usage:
  make                  # Auto-detect (prefers FUSE 3)
  make FORCE_FUSE=2     # Force FUSE 2 build
  make FORCE_FUSE=3     # Force FUSE 3 build

Verified both FUSE 2 and FUSE 3 builds work correctly.

* Fix CI/CD: Add fallback for systems without pkg-config

- detect_fuse.sh now checks for pkg-config availability first
- Falls back to checking for header files in standard locations
- Makefile provides default CFLAGS when pkg-config unavailable
- Fixes build on minimal CI/CD environments

Fallback locations checked:
- /usr/include/fuse3/fuse.h (FUSE 3)
- /usr/local/include/fuse3/fuse.h (FUSE 3)
- /usr/include/fuse/fuse.h (FUSE 2)
- /usr/local/include/fuse/fuse.h (FUSE 2)

* Enhance FUSE detection for non-standard locations

Multi-stage detection strategy:
1. Try pkg-config (fastest, most reliable)
2. Search common header locations:
   - /usr/include, /usr/local/include
   - /opt/local/include, /opt/include
3. Compiler test as last resort:
   - Attempts to preprocess #include <fuse.h>
   - Tests both FUSE 3 and FUSE 2 versions

This handles:
- Minimal CI/CD environments (no pkg-config)
- Non-standard install locations (Homebrew, custom builds)
- Distro-specific paths (BSD, macOS, custom Linux)

The compiler test ensures detection works even when headers
are in unusual locations that gcc can find via its search paths.

* Support FUSE 3.12+ API

- Use fuse_loop_mt_312 for FUSE 3.12+, fuse_loop_mt_31 for 3.0-3.11
- Conditionally add fuse_file_info param to getattr/chmod/chown/utimens
- Replace fuse_session_mount/unmount with fuse_mount/unmount
- Tested with FUSE 3.18 on Debian forky

* Fix pcl-1ib: correct FUSE 3.x handler signatures and loop_mt call

- Replace FUSE_MINOR_VERSION >= 12 checks with FUSE_USE_VERSION >= 30
  for getattr/chmod/chown/utimens handler signatures; FUSE 3.x always
  requires the extra struct fuse_file_info* parameter — the wrong
  signature caused type mismatches and "Transport endpoint is not
  connected" failures
- Replace non-existent fuse_loop_mt_312 extern with correct conditional:
  FUSE_USE_VERSION >= 32 uses fuse_loop_mt(f, &config), else
  fuse_loop_mt_31(f, clone_fd)
- Fix inverted return logic in is_fuse3_installed_on_system(): was
  returning 0 on success (when fusermount3 found), now correctly
  returns non-zero

* Remove unused is_fuse3_installed_on_system() from pfs.c

The function was static and had no remaining call sites after the
-ononempty/-ohard_remove args block was cleaned up, producing a
-Wunused-function warning.

* Restore shutdown_requested definition removed during rebase conflict resolution

The variable is declared extern in pfs.h and referenced in both
pfs.c (psync_signal_handler) and control_tools.cpp; the definition
must exist in pfs.c.

* Fix pfs_creat: missing canmodify assignment causes EACCES on write

pfs_creat called pfs_create_file() but never set of->canmodify, leaving
it zero-initialized. pfs_write and pfs_ftruncate both check canmodify
and return -EACCES if false, making all writes to newly created files
fail with Permission denied.

All five open paths in pfs_open set canmodify correctly (added in #326),
but pfs_creat was missed. Fix by applying the same pattern immediately
after psql_unlock(), while fpath is still in scope.

Caught during FUSE 2/3 regression testing (Phase 2 write test).

* Extend CI matrix: add FUSE 2, FUSE 3 legacy/current/forky build jobs

Replaces single build job with four jobs covering all tested FUSE configs:
- fuse2: debian:trixie + libfuse-dev (FUSE_USE_VERSION=26)
- fuse3-legacy: ubuntu:20.04 + libfuse3-dev 3.9.x (fuse_loop_mt_31 path)
- fuse3-current: ubuntu:22.04 + libfuse3-dev 3.12.x
- fuse3-forky: debian:forky + libfuse3-dev 3.18.1

Each job verifies correct symbol linkage after build. Runtime mount tests
are outside CI scope (require privileged containers with /dev/fuse).

* CI: replace Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 with ubuntu:24.04 for FUSE3 job

ubuntu:20.04 has old compiler (g++-9) and mbedTLS 2.x.
ubuntu:22.04 ships mbedTLS 2.28.x; incompatible with our mbedTLS 3.x-only code.
ubuntu:24.04 has mbedTLS 3.x and libfuse3 3.16.x, covering the 3.12-3.17 range.
FUSE3 < 3.12 is verified locally but not representable in CI without fighting
old toolchains.

* CI: add archlinux:latest job for rolling-release compatibility

Arch Linux is a rolling distro shipping latest fuse3, mbedtls 3.x, and
gcc — useful as an early-warning canary for future API breakage. Also
directly covers the maintained Arch package.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* CI: add fedora:41 and fedora:latest jobs with mbedtls3-devel

Fedora ships both mbedtls 2.x and 3.x; explicitly install mbedtls3-devel
to match our mbedTLS 3.x-only requirement. fedora:41 pins a known-good
release; fedora:latest tracks current as a rolling canary alongside Arch.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* README: add compatibility matrix with CI badge references

Documents the 6-distro build matrix tested in CI, mbedTLS 3.x requirement,
and notes on manual runtime mount testing coverage.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix CI package names; clean up README compatibility matrix

- Fedora 41: mbedtls3-devel -> mbedtls3.6-devel (correct versioned name)
- Fedora latest (43): mbedtls3-devel -> mbedtls-devel (now ships 3.6.5)
- Ubuntu 24.04: replaced with debian:trixie FORCE_FUSE=3 (Ubuntu has no
  mbedTLS 3.x in standard repos; trixie has both libfuse3-dev and mbedTLS 3.x)
- README: remove CI badge links from compatibility matrix

README.md

Introduction

pcloudcc is simple linux console client for pCloud cloud storage derived from the console-client developed by pCloud. This version is independently maintained by me, whose only affiliation with pCloud is as a user of their services. Due credit goes to Anton Titov, Ivan Stoev, and pCloud.

Supported Platforms & Distributions

The target operating system and platform for this program is linux/amd64, and has been reported to work on linux/aarch64. Program behavior on 32-bit architectures is considered undefined.

I aim to support as many distributions as possible. I maintain a package for AUR and Nix. I do not plan on providing or maintaining any other packages, but encourage anyone interested in doing so for their own distributions.

Compatibility Matrix

Distribution FUSE
Debian trixie 2.x
Debian trixie 3.x
Arch Linux (rolling) 3.x latest
Fedora 41 3.x
Fedora (latest) 3.x latest
Debian forky 3.18+

All configurations require mbedTLS 3.x. Runtime mount testing was performed manually on FUSE 2 (libfuse 2.9.x), FUSE 3 (libfuse3 3.10.5), and FUSE 3.18+ (Debian forky container).

Notices

Security Notice

My code audits are best-effort, and I make security enhancements as I identify problems. However, I do not promise that this program is free of even older and well-known security vulnerabilities. Therefore, I recommend using this program only on a trusted single-user system. Security-related code audits and contributions are most welcome!
