From 221fc4588915d8ef6c62c8e9926df89138a2af4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Snelling Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 14:54:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(8.0): implement multi-hop subtype BFS in pure JS (open-core works standalone) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Previous (post-step-12) state shipped a regression: removing the `depth > 1 + subtype` throw left the open-core JS path silently returning wrong results — the verbType walk reached depth N, but the subtype intersection only filtered at depth 1. Multi-hop subtype queries on a brainy without cortex returned all reachable entities, ignoring the subtype filter at hops 2+. That violated the open-core boundary in two ways: - Brainy MIT users got a silent-wrong-answers bug on a public API. - The "fix" of the day before suggested routing through cortex's native `findConnectedSubtype` — which would have gated a legitimate brainy API behind a paid product. That's bait-and-switch; the platform principle is that brainy MIT works standalone. THE FIX Implement multi-hop subtype-aware BFS in pure JS. Per-hop predicate checks both verbType (when supplied) and subtype at every edge crossing. Cycle guard via `visited`. Stops at `depth` or when the frontier empties. Complexity scales with branching factor × depth, not total graph size. At a typical branching factor of ~50 outgoing edges per node, depth=3 visits ~125 K edges — well under a second on the open-core JS path. That's fast enough for any reasonable production workload. If a registered graph-index provider exposes a faster native `findConnectedSubtype` (cortex's D.3 native BFS is the obvious example), brainy can detect and route through it via the existing provider-detection pattern. That's an OPTIMIZATION, not a correctness requirement. The JS path is the contract; native is a drop-in replacement. CHANGES src/brainy.ts (executeGraphSearch) - Deleted the post-throw assumption that subtype filtering only worked at depth=1. Replaced with a real BFS. - New inner function `bfsWithSubtype(anchor, walk)`: - Direction handling: 'in' walks incoming edges, 'out' outgoing, 'both' unions both at every hop. - Per-hop: getRelations({ from|to: node, type: via, subtype }) — pulls edges already filtered by verbType + subtype. Defensive re-check on edge.subtype in case a future getRelations impl widens its filter. - Cycle guard: visited set seeded with the anchor. Never re-enters the anchor; never revisits a node. - Subtype-absent path unchanged — still calls `neighbors()` for the fast verbType-only BFS. NO-OP for the subtype-absent case. Multi-hop + subtype now works correctly on the open-core JS path at any depth.
