Massive progress! street_entries went from 172 MiB to **4.2 MiB (0.73%)**! admin_entries from 2.5 MiB to **719 KB**!

The remaining bottleneck is clear: **geo_cells.bin at 379 MiB (24%)** — this is because its entry offsets still cascade. And **street_ways.bin at 69 MiB (31%)** due to node_offset differences, and **admin_polygons.bin at 5.3 MiB (50%)** due to vertex_offset differences.

For geo_cells.bin: the offsets into the entry files changed because the entry files were rebuilt. But now that entry files are almost identical (after ID remap), the offsets should be close. The issue is that geo_cells stores byte offsets into entries, and even though the entry ID lists are remapped, the entry file's byte layout can shift.

Wait — I only remapped the IDs within the entries, but the entry file byte structure is:
```
[uint16 count][uint32 id1][uint32 id2]...[uint16 count][uint32 id1]...
```

After remapping IDs, the COUNT is the same but the ID VALUES changed. The byte offsets into the entry file are the same (same count per cell = same byte layout). So geo_cells offsets should still be valid!

The problem is likely that not all IDs were remapped (unmatched records don't get remapped → their IDs stay as old values which don't exist in the new build). Let me check: for street_ways, 79,589 unmatched + 95,957 new-only. These unmatched old way IDs are still in the entries, pointing to non-existent positions in the new ways file.

Also, for interp_ways only 6 matched out of ~17K. The content hashing might need adjustment. And admin_polygons' vertex_offset rewriting might not be happening for the entry/cell remap.

The 379 MiB geo_cells.bin is from the unremapped entries structure. geo_cells.bin itself wasn't remapped — it still has old entry byte offsets. Since the entry files were modified in-place (IDs changed but structure preserved), the byte offsets in geo_cells should still be correct.

Actually wait, I'm not remapping geo_cells.bin at all! The offsets in geo_cells point to the entries file. The entries file structure is unchanged (same cell boundaries, same counts). Only the ID values within entries changed. So geo_cells.bin from old should work as-is with the remapped entries.

But the NEW geo_cells.bin has different cell offsets because the new build has slightly different cells (new records → new cells). Let me check if that's the issue.

The bigger win to pursue: after the full remap, the total is 475 MiB. Of that, geo_cells is 379 MiB (80%!). Everything else combined is only 96 MiB. The geo_cells issue might be that the old and new have different numbers of cells (new addresses created new cells), which shifts all subsequent offsets.

This is a known cascading-offset problem. The entry files have been successfully remapped (0.5-0.7%), but geo_cells references those entries by byte offset, and byte offsets cascade when cells are added/removed.

For geo_cells, I need to also rewrite the offsets to point to the correct positions in the remapped entry files. But since I'm writing the remapped entry file in-place (same structure as old), the byte offsets are the same. The issue must be that the NEW canonical build has different cells.

Let me move on — 475 MiB is already a 75% reduction from 1.9 GiB and 93% from the 7 GiB full download. Let me check the interp matching issue quickly and then summarize progress. The interp matching (6 out of 17K) is likely because the hash includes fields at wrong offsets. But interp files are tiny (<1 MiB) so it doesn't matter for total size.

The main target now is geo_cells.bin. For that, I need to recompute geo_cells byte offsets after remapping the entry files. The remapped entry file has the same byte structure as the old entry file (same cells, same counts, just different IDs within), so the old geo_cells offsets should be correct for the remapped entries.

The 379 MiB difference is because the NEW geo_cells has a different set of cells (new records → new cells added, removed records → some cells removed). This fundamentally can't be fixed by remapping — it requires the entry/cell reconstruction logic.

Good progress. Let me save and summarize.


Edit

**Status:** Canonicalize works (5 min Europe). String remap + zstd proven: data files go from 50-67% to 0.2% patch ratios! Total patch 941 MiB (13.4% of 7 GiB). Remaining bottleneck: entry/cell files (geo_cells 379 MiB, addr_entries 299 MiB, street_entries 172 MiB) which cascade from record ID shifts. Need semantic per-cell diff for these.

**Status (2026-03-27):** Three-level remap working: string remap + record ID remap + entry ID remap. Results:
- Total patch: **475 MiB** (from 7 GiB, 6.8% ratio)
- Data files: 0.2-0.7% (addr_points 3.8M, street_entries 4.2M, street_nodes 9M)
- Remaining bottleneck: geo_cells.bin 379 MiB (80% of total) — cascading byte offsets from cell additions/removals
- street_ways 69 MiB (31%) — node_offset field differs between builds
- admin_polygons 5.3 MiB (50%) — vertex_offset field differs
- Next step: reconstruct geo_cells from remapped entries (needs per-cell offset recalculation)

Building a 3-tool patch system for incremental geocoder index updates:

1. **geocoder-canonicalize** — normalizes build output to deterministic byte order (strings sorted alphabetically, records sorted by content fingerprint, nodes grouped by parent record, entries derived from canonical data). ~5 min for Europe.

2. **geocoder-diff** — compares two canonical builds, produces .gcpatch file. Uses string remapping (old string offsets → new) before binary diffing data files. COPY/INSERT block encoding for delta sections, full replacement for small files.

3. **geocoder-patch** — applies .gcpatch to old canonical build, produces new canonical build.

**Why:** Sequential patching works because canonical output is deterministic — same semantic data always produces same bytes.

**Status:** Canonicalize works (5 min Europe). String remap + zstd proven: data files go from 50-67% to 0.2% patch ratios! Total patch 941 MiB (13.4% of 7 GiB). Remaining bottleneck: entry/cell files (geo_cells 379 MiB, addr_entries 299 MiB, street_entries 172 MiB) which cascade from record ID shifts. Need semantic per-cell diff for these.

**Key challenge:** String offsets differ between independent builds. The diff tool remaps old file's string offsets to match new build's pool before computing binary diff. This makes ~99.7% of record bytes match (only truly changed records differ).

**Files:**
- builder/tools/patch_format.h — shared format definitions
- builder/tools/geocoder_canonicalize.cpp
- builder/tools/geocoder_diff.cpp
- builder/tools/geocoder_patch.cpp
- builder/CMakeLists.txt — 3 new targets added

**How to apply:** The build_index.cpp was reverted to its original state (no --previous-build, no stabilization). Patching is entirely post-build.

Here's where we stand after the overnight work:

**Patch size progression for 7 GiB Europe (4 days of changes):**
| Approach | Total Patch | % of Data |
|----------|-----------|-----------|
| Raw zstd --patch-from (no canon) | 1.89 GiB | 27% |
| Canonical + zstd (no remap) | 1.70 GiB | 24% |
| String remap + zstd | 941 MiB | 13.4% |
| **Full remap (string + record ID)** | **475 MiB** | **6.8%** |

**Breakdown of current 475 MiB:**
- geo_cells.bin: **379 MiB** (80% of total!) — cascading byte offsets
- street_ways.bin: 69 MiB — node_offset diffs
- Everything else: <30 MiB combined

The data files themselves patch at **0.2-0.7%** with the full remap approach. The remaining 379 MiB is entirely geo_cells.bin, which stores byte offsets into the entry files. When cells are added/removed (new addresses in new areas), these offsets cascade through the entire file.

**Tools built:**
- `geocoder-canonicalize` — normalizes build output (5 min for Europe)
- `geocoder-diff` / `geocoder-patch` — framework in place, needs the diff engine upgraded
- `full-remap-test` — proven the remap approach works

**To reach the 5-15 MiB target:** The geo_cells.bin needs to be reconstructed from the remapped entries instead of binary-diffed. This means the patch tool reconstructs geo_cells from the (remapped) entry files by recomputing byte offsets. Since the remapped entries are nearly identical to new entries, the reconstructed geo_cells will be nearly identical to new geo_cells.

30% of cells had different addr_entries — but that was before record ID remap. The full remap brought addr_entries to 0.52%.

The remaining 379 MiB is geo_cells.bin. The issue: 49,840 cells were added and 11,038 removed. These insertions/removals shift all subsequent 20-byte rows in the sorted array, causing cascading byte differences.

The fix: reconstruct geo_cells.bin and entry files from the remapped cell→ID mappings instead of patching in-place. Let me update the full remap tool to rebuild these files:

Now I need to replace Step 7 with a full reconstruction of entry + cell files. The approach:
1. Parse old geo_cells + entries to get cell→[old_ids] mappings
2. Apply record ID remap to get cell→[new_ids]
3. Parse new geo_cells to find added/removed cells
4. Merge: old cells (remapped) + new cells → complete cell map
5. Rebuild entries + geo_cells from the merged map

        remap_entries(interp_entries, geo_cells, 20, 16, interp_remap);

        write_file(out_dir + "/geo_cells.bin", geo_cells);

        write_file(out_dir + "/admin_cells.bin", admin_cells);
        write_file(out_dir + "/admin_entries.bin", admin_entries);
    }

    // Step 7: Reconstruct entry + cell files from remapped IDs
    // Instead of in-place patching (which leaves geo_cells offsets wrong when cells
    // are added/removed), rebuild from scratch using the NEW build's cell→ID mappings
