CDC File Transfer
I did a similar thing a few years ago
https://github.com/mkmik/imsy
It's less sophisticated but it uses the same core idea and the implementation is super simple

Do you have any experience with cdc_rsync?

Is it possible, and if so, is it common, to insert arbitrary bytes in a file?
I have been reading about contend defined chunking. If you look at Google's cdc-transfer and other tools that use content-defined-chunking (e.g. restic, kopia, borg), they talk about how great CDC is for insertions that would otherwise shift the boundaries.

While I am no fan of Google or Stadia, this is wrong. They open sourced the CDC file transfer software they used for syncing files from Windows to Linux.
- CDC File Transfer: "Born from the ashes of Stadia, this repository contains tools for syncing and streaming files from Windows to Linux. They are based on Content Defined Chunking (CDC), in particular FastCDC, to split up files into chunks."

The README has pretty good explanation of why it's better than rsync, and the animations help show exactly what the difference is.
