Add full support for tracking and analyzing data by service in multi-tenant deployments.
## Features Added
- **Service Statistics Tracking**: Track nouns, verbs, and metadata counts per service
- **Service Activity Monitoring**: Track first/last activity timestamps and operation counts
- **New API Methods**:
- `listServices()`: List all services with their statistics and status
- `getServiceStatistics(service)`: Get detailed stats for a specific service
- Enhanced `getStatistics()` with service filtering and breakdown
- **Service Filtering**: Filter search results and queries by service
- **Storage Enhancements**: BaseStorageAdapter tracks service activity with timestamps
- **Type Definitions**: Added ServiceStatistics interface and extended StatisticsData
## Implementation Details
- Services automatically tracked via defaultService config or per-operation override
- Service status detection (active/inactive/read-only) based on activity
- Memory-efficient tracking at statistics level, not per noun/verb
- Backward compatible - existing data tracked under 'default' service
## Documentation
- Comprehensive guide in docs/guides/per-service-statistics.md
- Examples for multi-tenant apps, health monitoring, and auditing
- API reference and migration guide included
## Testing
- Full test suite in tests/service-statistics.test.ts
- Coverage of all new methods and filtering capabilities
This enables better observability, debugging, and management of multi-service Brainy deployments, addressing the need to track individual service performance when multiple services share storage.
BREAKING CHANGE: System metadata location changed from 'index/' to '_system/' directory
- Rename INDEX_DIR to SYSTEM_DIR following database conventions
- Implement dual-read/write strategy for zero-downtime migration
- Add automatic migration from old to new location on first access
- Support mixed service versions sharing S3/cloud storage
- Add 30-day grace period for gradual rollout (configurable)
- Store distributed config alongside statistics in _system folder
- Add comprehensive migration guide and documentation
Migration features:
- Read from both locations (new first, fallback to old)
- Write to both during migration period
- Automatic data migration when found only in old location
- Services can update independently without coordination
- Full backward compatibility for production deployments
The change improves clarity ('_system' better represents system metadata than 'index')
and follows standard database conventions (MongoDB's _system, PostgreSQL's pg_*).
