Bug #2: Early return blocks recovery when count=0 ✅ FIXED * - Bug #4: HNSW index has no rebuild mechanism ✅ FIXED + * - Bug #5: disableAutoRebuild leaves indexes empty forever ✅ FIXED (v5.7.7) * * Production-grade rebuild with: - * - Handles millions of entities via pagination + * - Handles BILLIONS of entities via streaming pagination * - Smart threshold-based decisions (auto-rebuild < 1000 items) + * - Lazy loading on first query (when disableAutoRebuild: true) * - Progress reporting for large datasets * - Parallel index rebuilds for performance * - Robust error recovery (continues on partial failures) + * - Concurrency-safe (multiple queries wait for same rebuild) + * + * @param force -
