+### Rsync diagnostics (2026.09.27.r002)
+
+Run logs start collapsed and retain your open/closed selection during refresh.
+New Rsync runs log the source paths, target, dry-run mode, overwrite/delete and
+comparison options, exclusions, execution phases, up to 20 itemized change
+examples, and final file/byte/deletion totals. Deletion counts include directories
+and symlinks. Byte totals describe the contents of transferred files, not protocol
+traffic. A dry run reports planned changes and records zero bytes actually copied;
+its notification explicitly states that no changes were made. Historical logs
+cannot be reconstructed with these additional details.
+
+For an integration test against Rsync 3.x, run
+`URBM_TEST_RSYNC=/path/to/rsync go test ./internal/rsync -run TestRealRsync -v`.
+The test uses temporary directories only and checks that a dry run changes nothing,
+that a subsequent copy matches the planned counts, and that another comparison
+then finds no changes.
