+### 🐛 Critical Bug Fixes
+
+**Fixed: Metadata Explosion Bug - 69K Files Reduced to ~1K**
+
+**Issue**: Metadata indexing was creating 60+ chunk files per entity (69,429 files for 1,143 entities)
+- Root cause: Vector embeddings (384-dimensional arrays) were being indexed in metadata
+- Each vector dimension created a separate chunk file with numeric field names
+- Caused server hangs, VFS operations timing out, and Graph View UI failures
+
+**Impact**:
+- ✅ File reduction: 69,429 → ~1,200 files (58x reduction / 1,200x per entity)
+- ✅ Storage reduction: 3.3GB → ~10MB metadata (330x reduction)
+- ✅ Fixes server initialization hangs (loading 69K files)
+- ✅ Fixes metadata batch loading stalling at batch 23
+- ✅ Fixes VFS getDescendants() hanging indefinitely
+- ✅ Fixes Graph View UI not loading in Soulcraft Studio
+
+**Solution**:
+- Added `NEVER_INDEX` Set excluding vector field names: `['vector', 'embedding', 'embeddings', 'connections']`
+- Added safety check to skip arrays > 10 elements
+- Preserves small array indexing (tags, categories, roles)
+
+**Test Results**:
+- ✅ 7/7 integration tests passing
+- ✅ Verified: 6 chunk files for 10 entities (was 7,210 before fix)
+- ✅ 611/622 unit tests passing
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `src/utils/metadataIndex.ts` - Core metadata explosion fix
+- `src/coreTypes.ts` - HNSWVerb type enforcement with VerbType enum
+- `src/storage/adapters/*` - Include core relational fields (verb, sourceId, targetId)
+- `src/storage/adapters/baseStorageAdapter.ts` - Type enforcement (HNSWNoun, GraphVerb)
+- `tests/integration/metadata-vector-exclusion.test.ts` - Comprehensive test coverage
