 |------|-------------|
 | **Initial** | Compares the max entity ID on the server against the local database and downloads all records with IDs greater than the local maximum. Designed for first-time bulk population. |
 | **Ongoing** | Walks through all server records page by page, comparing `UpdateDate` timestamps. Creates missing records locally and updates records whose server timestamp is newer than the local copy. |
+| **OngoingEventualConsistency** | Time-budgeted variant of Ongoing: bisects the id range newest-first within `BackSyncTimeLimit`, then pulls new tail records. Reconciles deleted records separately (see below). |
+| **TrueUp** | Forward keyset walk of the whole server range to repair gaps/drift. |
+
+### Deleted-record reconciliation
+
+When `SyncDeletedRecords` is enabled, `OngoingEventualConsistency` reconciles server-side deletions into the local clone. Each deleted server row is matched to the local row by **identity only** — never by GUID, because GUIDs are not guaranteed unique in cloned data and a GUID match could soft-delete the wrong record — and flagged via `doDelete`. Rows whose id is not present locally are counted and skipped (not created). Processing is newest-first by the indexed id, within `BackSyncTimeLimit`.
+
+#### Resumable cursor options
+
+By default each run sweeps the deleted set newest-first from the top, which on a large backlog never reaches older records within the time budget. These options make the sweep resumable:
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `DeleteCursorStatePath` | (Optional) Path to a JSON file persisting per-table head/tail id marks so each run resumes the deleted-record sweep instead of re-walking from the newest record. Unset = disabled. The file must persist between runs to be useful; a missing/corrupt file degrades safely to a full sweep. Holds only a few integers per table — no record data. |
+| `DeleteResweepIntervalHours` | (Optional, default `168`) Once the backlog is drained, hours between full re-sweeps that catch deletions of older records landing in already-swept id ranges. |
+
+With the cursor enabled, each run runs a cheap **head pass** (`id > headID`, new deletions since last run) then continues the **tail** (`id < tailID`) within budget, using keyset paging (no growing `OFFSET`). Options propagate via `MeadowSync` options / per-entity `SyncEntityOptions`, and the strategy also reads matching keys from `fable.settings`.

+Per-entity overrides, keyed by entity name. Values are merged on top of the global `Sync.*` defaults at entity construction (any key accepted by the entity constructor).
+
+When the config is consumed via the data-cloner headless pipeline (`retold-data-service-clone --config`, or the `/clone/sync/start` POST route), the following keys also take effect as **runtime overrides per entity** and win over the global runtime values: `BackSyncTimeLimit`, `MaxRecordsPerEntity`, `DateTimePrecisionMS`, `TrueUpPageSize`, `UseAdvancedIDPagination`, `SyncDeletedRecords`.
 
 ```json
 {
     "Sync": {
+        "BackSyncTimeLimit": 30000,
         "SyncEntityOptions": {
             "AuditLog": {
                 "PageSize": 500
+            },
+            "Document": {
+                "BackSyncTimeLimit": 600000
             }
         }
     }
 }
 ```
 
+In the example above, `Document` gets a 600s bisection budget while every other entity uses the global 30s. Unknown entity names in `SyncEntityOptions` are logged as a warning and ignored.

 ## CLI Flag Overrides
 
 All configuration values can be overridden via CLI flags. CLI flags take precedence over values from `.meadow.config.json`.
