 The complete client record (database, settings, queued logical notifications and
 server history checkpoint) is saved atomically in `.vaultlink/sync-data.json`.
-Existing database-only files migrate on the next save. Invalid or unreadable
-metadata is reported instead of silently starting with empty state.
+Only this complete-record format is supported; database-only files are not
+converted. Invalid or unreadable JSON is reported instead of silently starting
+with empty state.
 
 File moves use an exclusive copy followed by deletion of the source. An
 interruption may leave both files; the next scan reconciles the visible files.
