{R"(6.2.1

Synchronise the client's state with the latest state on the server. Clients
use this API when they first log in to get an initial snapshot of the state
on the server, and then continue to call this API to get incremental deltas
to the state, and to receive new messages.
)"};

const auto linear_delta_max_help
{R"(

Maximum number of events to scan sequentially for a /sync. This determines
whether linear-sync or polylog-sync mode is used to satisfy the request. If
the difference between the since token (lower-bound) and the upper-bound of
the sync is within this value, the linear-sync mode is used. If it is more
than this value a polylog-sync mode is used. The latter is used because at
some threshold it becomes too expensive to scan a huge number of events to
grab only those that the client requires; it is cheaper to conduct a series
of random-access queries with polylog-sync instead. Note the exclusive
upper-bound of a sync is determined either by a non-spec query parameter
'next_batch' or the vm::sequence::retired+1.

)"};

const auto linear_buffer_size_help
{R"(

The size of the coalescing buffer used when conducting a linear-sync. During
the sequential scan of events, when an event is marked as required for the
client's sync it is stringified and appended to this buffer. The buffer has
the format of a json::vector of individual events. At the end of the linear
sync, the objects in this buffer are merged into a single spec /sync response.

When this buffer is full the linear sync must finish and respond to the client
with whatever it has. The event::idx of the last event that fit into the buffer
forms the basis for the next_batch so the client can continue with another linear
/sync to complete the range.
