feat: ID-first storage architecture + remove memory-unsafe APIs (v6.0.0)
BREAKING CHANGES:
**ID-First Storage Paths**
- Direct O(1) entity access without type lookups
- Before: entities/nouns/{TYPE}/metadata/{SHARD}/{ID}.json
- After: entities/nouns/{SHARD}/{ID}/metadata.json
- Migration handled automatically on first init()
**Removed Memory-Unsafe APIs**
- Removed brain.merge() - loaded all entities into memory
- Removed brain.diff() - loaded all entities into memory
- Removed brain.data().backup() - loaded all entities into memory
- Removed brain.data().restore() - depended on backup()
- Removed CLI commands: backup, restore, cow merge
**Migration Paths**
- merge() → Use checkout() or manually copy entities with pagination
- diff() → Use asOf() with manual paginated comparison
- backup() → Use fork() for instant COW snapshots
- restore() → Use checkout() to switch to snapshot branch
Core Improvements:
- ✅ All 8 storage adapters properly call super.init()
- ✅ GraphAdjacencyIndex integration in BaseStorage.init()
- ✅ Fixed ID-first path bugs (vector.json → vectors.json)
- ✅ Fixed MemoryStorage.initializeCounts() for ID-first paths
- ✅ New VFS APIs: du(), access(), find()
- ✅ Comprehensive documentation with migration guides
Storage Adapters Fixed:
- MemoryStorage, FileSystemStorage, AzureBlobStorage
- GCSStorage, R2Storage, S3CompatibleStorage
- OPFSStorage, HistoricalStorageAdapter

### Problem Solved
|
||||
|
||||
**Before v5.12.0:**
|
||||
- VFS `readFile()` on cloud storage: **18-21 seconds** per file (cold cache)
|
||||
- Directory with 12 files: **12.7 seconds** (22 sequential calls × 580ms latency)
|
||||
- N+1 query pattern: 1 directory query + N individual file queries
|
||||
- VFS `getTreeStructure()` on cloud storage: **12.7 seconds** for directory with 12 files
|
||||
- N+1 query pattern: 1 directory query + N individual file queries (22 sequential calls × 580ms latency)
|
||||
|
||||
**After v5.12.0:**
|
||||
- VFS operations: **<1 second** for 12 files (90%+ improvement)
|
||||
- VFS `getTreeStructure()`: **<1 second** for 12 files (90%+ improvement)
|
||||
- 2-3 batched calls instead of 22 sequential calls
|
||||
- Native cloud storage batch APIs for maximum throughput
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT:** The v5.12.0 batch optimizations apply **ONLY to `getTreeStructure()`**, not to `readFile()` or individual `get()` operations. See v6.0.0 changes for comprehensive storage path optimizations.

## Advanced Features Compatibility

|
||||
### ✅ Type-Aware Storage
|
||||
### ✅ ID-First Storage Architecture (v6.0.0+)
|
||||
|
||||
All batch operations preserve type-first paths:
|
||||
All batch operations use direct ID-first paths - no type lookup needed!
|
||||
|
||||
**NEW v6.0.0 Path Structure:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
entities/nouns/{TYPE}/metadata/{SHARD}/{ID}.json
|
||||
entities/nouns/{SHARD}/{ID}/metadata.json
|
||||
entities/verbs/{SHARD}/{ID}/metadata.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Batch APIs consult the `nounTypeCache` for O(1) path resolution:
|
||||
|
||||
**Direct O(1) Path Construction:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Cached IDs: Direct path construction
|
||||
// Every ID maps directly to exactly ONE path - 40x faster!
|
||||
const id = 'abc-123'
|
||||
const type = nounTypeCache.get(id) // → 'document'
|
||||
const path = `entities/nouns/document/metadata/${shard}/${id}.json`
|
||||
const shard = getShardIdFromUuid(id) // → 'ab' (first 2 hex chars)
|
||||
const path = `entities/nouns/${shard}/${id}/metadata.json`
|
||||
|
||||
// Uncached IDs: Try multiple types (automatically)
|
||||
// Batch API tries all types in search order:
|
||||
// 1. Common types (document, thing, person, file)
|
||||
// 2. All other types (alphabetically)
|
||||
// No type cache needed!
|
||||
// No type search needed!
|
||||
// No multi-type fallback needed!
|
||||
// Just pure O(1) lookup!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- **40x faster** on GCS/S3 (eliminates 42-type sequential search)
|
||||
- **Simpler code** - removed 500+ lines of type cache complexity
|
||||
- **Scalable** - works at billion-scale without type tracking overhead

```typescript
|

// Given:

||||
const entityId = "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"
|
||||
const entityType = "Character"

// Step 1: Extract shard from UUID (first 2 hex characters)
|
||||
const shard = entityId.substring(0, 2) // "3f"

||||
|
||||
// Step 2: Construct vector path
|
||||
const vectorPath = `branches/${branch}/entities/nouns/${entityType}/vectors/${shard}/${entityId}.json`
|
||||
// Result: "branches/main/entities/nouns/Character/vectors/3f/3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6.json"

1. **Shard Extraction**: Always use first 2 hex characters of UUID/SHA-256
|
||||
2. **Type-First**: Type comes before shard in entity paths
|
||||
2. **ID-First**: Shard + ID come BEFORE type (type is in metadata)
|
||||
3. **Branch Isolation**: Only entity data uses branches/
|
||||
4. **System Isolation**: System files never use sharding or branching (except HNSW nodes)
|
||||
5. **Content-Addressable**: COW uses SHA-256 hash as filename

### 3.2 Type-Aware Index (Path-Based)
|
||||
### 3.2 Type Index (Metadata-Based, v6.0.0+)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Fast type filtering and organization
|
||||
**Location**: Derived from filesystem paths (no separate storage)
|
||||
**Data Structure**: Directory tree organized by type
|
||||
**Purpose**: Fast type filtering via metadata index
|
||||
**Location**: MetadataIndexManager index on `noun` field
|
||||
**Data Structure**: RoaringBitmap32 per type value
|
||||
|
||||
**How It Works**:
|
||||
**How It Works** (v6.0.0+):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Find all Characters
|
||||
const characters = await brain.getNouns({ type: 'Character' })
|
||||
// Scans only: branches/main/entities/nouns/Character/**/*.json
|
||||
// Skips: all other type directories
|
||||
// Find all Person entities
|
||||
const people = await brain.getNouns({ type: 'person' })
|
||||
|
||||
// Under the hood:
|
||||
// 1. MetadataIndexManager.getFieldIndex('noun')
|
||||
// 2. Returns RoaringBitmap32 of IDs where metadata.noun === 'person'
|
||||
// 3. Batch fetch those IDs using ID-first paths
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance**:
|
||||
- Type filtering: O(type_count) instead of O(total_entities)
|
||||
- 42x faster for queries filtered by type (42 noun types total)
|
||||
- Zero storage overhead (uses filesystem structure)
|
||||
- Type filtering: O(person_count) via metadata index (not O(total_entities))
|
||||
- Index lookup: O(1) bitmap intersection
|
||||
- No filesystem scanning needed
|
||||
- Works at billion-scale with compressed bitmaps

## 6. ID-First Storage Architecture (v6.0.0+)
|

|
||||
### 6.1 What is Type-First?
|
||||
### 6.1 What is ID-First?
|
||||
|
||||
**Type-first storage** organizes entities by their **semantic type** before sharding by UUID.
|
||||
**ID-first storage** organizes entities by **ID shard only** - no type directories! This eliminates 42-type sequential searches that caused 20-21 second delays on cloud storage.
|
||||
|
||||
**Old structure** (pre-v5.4.0):
|
||||
**Old type-first structure** (v5.4.0-v5.12.0):
|
||||
```
|
||||
entities/nouns/vectors/00/001234...uuid.json # What type? Unknown until you read it!
|
||||
branches/main/entities/nouns/{TYPE}/metadata/00/001234...uuid.json
|
||||
# Problem: Requires knowing type OR searching 42 type directories!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Type-first structure** (v5.4.0+):
|
||||
**NEW ID-first structure** (v6.0.0+):
|
||||
```
|
||||
branches/main/entities/nouns/Character/vectors/00/001234...uuid.json # Type visible in path!
|
||||
branches/main/entities/nouns/00/001234...uuid/metadata.json
|
||||
# Direct O(1) lookup - no type needed!
|
||||
```

||||

### 6.2 Benefits of Type-First
|
||||
### 6.2 Benefits of ID-First
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Fast Type Filtering**
|
||||
**1. 40x Faster Lookups**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Find all Characters
|
||||
const characters = await brain.getNouns({ type: 'Character' })
|
||||
// Scans only: branches/main/entities/nouns/Character/**
|
||||
// Skips: Place, Concept, Organization, etc. (41 other types)
|
||||
// v5.x: Had to search 42 types if type unknown
|
||||
// Result: 21 seconds on GCS (42 types × 500ms)
|
||||
|
||||
// v6.0.0: Direct path from ID
|
||||
const id = '001234...'
|
||||
const shard = id.substring(0, 2) // '00'
|
||||
const path = `branches/main/entities/nouns/${shard}/${id}/metadata.json`
|
||||
// Result: <500ms on GCS - 40x faster!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Efficient Storage Scans**
|
||||
- List all Characters: O(character_count) instead of O(total_entities)
|
||||
- 42x faster for type-filtered queries (42 noun types total)
|
||||
**2. Simpler Code**
|
||||
- **Removed 500+ lines** of type cache management
|
||||
- **No more** nounTypeCache Map tracking
|
||||
- **No more** persistent type index complexity
|
||||
- **No more** 42-type fallback search logic
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Clear Data Organization**
|
||||
- Each type has dedicated directory
|
||||
- Easy to backup/restore specific types
|
||||
- Clear separation of concerns
|
||||
**3. Billion-Scale Ready**
|
||||
- Type information stored in **metadata** field (indexed by MetadataIndexManager)
|
||||
- Type queries still fast via metadata index
|
||||
- No type cache sync issues in distributed systems
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Clean Architecture**
|
||||
- One path per ID - no ambiguity
|
||||
- Predictable storage layout
|
||||
- Easier to debug and reason about

### 6.3 Type-First Path Structure
|
||||
### 6.3 ID-First Path Structure
|
||||
|
||||
**v6.0.0 Path Structure:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
branches/{branch}/entities/nouns/{type}/vectors/{shard}/{uuid}.json
|
||||
branches/{branch}/entities/nouns/{type}/metadata/{shard}/{uuid}.json
|
||||
branches/{branch}/entities/verbs/{type}/vectors/{shard}/{uuid}.json
|
||||
branches/{branch}/entities/verbs/{type}/metadata/{shard}/{uuid}.json
|
||||
branches/{branch}/entities/nouns/{shard}/{id}/metadata.json
|
||||
branches/{branch}/entities/nouns/{shard}/{id}/vector.json
|
||||
branches/{branch}/entities/verbs/{shard}/{id}/metadata.json
|
||||
branches/{branch}/entities/verbs/{shard}/{id}/vector.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Breakdown**:
|
||||
- `branches/{branch}`: Branch isolation (main, feature branches, user workspaces)
|
||||
- `entities/nouns` or `entities/verbs`: Entity vs. relationship
|
||||
- `{type}`: Semantic type (Character, Place, Knows, LocatedIn, etc.)
|
||||
- `vectors` or `metadata`: Vector vs. metadata split
|
||||
- `{shard}`: UUID-based shard (00-ff, 256 total)
|
||||
- `{uuid}.json`: Individual entity file
|
||||
- `{shard}`: UUID-based shard (00-ff, 256 total) - **comes FIRST now!**
|
||||
- `{id}`: Full entity UUID
|
||||
- `metadata.json` or `vector.json`: Separate files for metadata vs vectors
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Change:** Shard + ID come **before** type, not after!
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 6.4 Supported Types
|
||||
### 6.4 Type Queries Still Work!
|
||||
|
||||
**42 Noun Types**:
|
||||
- Person, Organization, Location, Thing, Concept, Event, Agent, Organism, Substance, Quality, TimeInterval, Function, Proposition, Document, Media, File, Message, Collection, Dataset, Product, Service, Task, Project, Process, State, Role, Language, Currency, Measurement, Hypothesis, Experiment, Contract, Regulation, Interface, Resource, Custom, SocialGroup, Institution, Norm, InformationContent, InformationBearer, Relationship
|
||||
**How do we filter by type without type directories?**
|
||||
|
||||
**127 Verb Types**:
|
||||
- Knows, LocatedIn, WorksFor, HasProperty, Contains, PartOf, CausedBy, PrecededBy, FollowedBy, etc.
|
||||
The `metadata.noun` field is **indexed by MetadataIndexManager**:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Find all Person entities - still fast!
|
||||
const people = await brain.getNouns({ type: 'person' })
|
||||
|
||||
// Under the hood:
|
||||
// 1. MetadataIndexManager has index on 'noun' field
|
||||
// 2. Returns all IDs where metadata.noun === 'person'
|
||||
// 3. Batch fetch those IDs using ID-first paths
|
||||
// Result: Still O(person_count), not O(total_entities)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Supported Types (unchanged):**
|
||||
- **42 Noun Types**: Person, Organization, Location, Thing, Concept, Event, Agent, etc.
|
||||
- **127 Verb Types**: Knows, LocatedIn, WorksFor, HasProperty, etc.
|
||||

**A: Yes! (NEW in v5.0.0)** Use `brain.merge(sourceBranch, targetBranch, options)` to merge branches with automatic conflict resolution. Supports multiple merge strategies: last-write-wins, first-write-wins, and custom.
|
||||
**A: Use the "experimental branching" paradigm.** Instead of merging, either (1) make your experimental branch the new main with `checkout()`, or (2) manually copy specific entities you want. See CHANGELOG v6.0.0 for migration patterns.

- Automatic conflict detection for relationships
|
||||
- Merge preview mode
