PHASE A — every @deprecated marker resolved (~25 removed)
src/coreTypes.ts
- GraphVerb: dropped the "@deprecated Will be replaced by HNSWVerbWithMetadata"
note. GraphVerb IS the canonical contract — every public API path speaks
it. Removed the `source` and `target` legacy alias fields (renamed `from`
/ `to` callers years ago; no consumers remain).
- StorageAdapter: dropped the "@deprecated Use getNouns() with filter" notes
from `getNounsByNounType`, `getVerbsBySource`, `getVerbsByTarget`,
`getVerbsByType`. They were never deprecated in spirit — they're useful
non-paginated convenience wrappers over the paginated `getNouns()` /
`getVerbs()` surface. Refreshed JSDoc to explain the role.
src/types/graphTypes.ts
- Mirrored the GraphVerb cleanup: dropped `source` + `target` legacy aliases.
sourceId + targetId are the canonical fields.
src/import/ImportCoordinator.ts
- Deleted the entire DeprecatedImportOptions interface block (130 LOC). It
was a v3 → v4 migration tool using the `?: never` trick to force
compile errors on dropped options. Five major versions in, the
forced-error gate is no longer pulling its weight.
src/triple/TripleIntelligence.ts
- Deleted `TripleIntelligenceEngine = any` alias. No consumers; superseded
by `TripleIntelligenceSystem`.
src/storage/cow/binaryDataCodec.ts
- Deleted `wrapBinaryData()`. The COW dispatch layer in `baseStorage.ts`
routes by key-prefix convention; the old guess-by-JSON-parse codec was
fragile (compressed bytes can accidentally parse as JSON) and unused.
src/storage/baseStorage.ts
- Refreshed JSDoc on `convertHNSWVerbToGraphVerb()` — the method is alive
and used internally; the deprecation note was stale.
src/embeddings/wasm/AssetLoader.ts → DELETED
- File was @deprecated since model weights moved into the Candle WASM
bundle. No consumers. Removed from `embeddings/wasm/index.ts` exports.
src/embeddings/wasm/types.ts
- Dropped @deprecated tags on `TokenizerConfig` + `TokenizedInput` — still
used by `WordPieceTokenizer` (auxiliary tokenization). Deleted
`InferenceConfig` (truly dead). Updated `embeddings/wasm/index.ts`
exports.
src/utils/metadataIndex.ts
- Deleted `getIdsForCriteria()` — pure alias for `getIdsForFilter()`, no
consumers.
src/interfaces/IIndex.ts
- Removed RebuildOptions.lazy (deprecated and unused; lazy mode is auto-
selected by available-memory detection).
src/hnsw/hnswIndex.ts
- Removed `getNouns()` (returned a full Map; deprecated in favor of
pagination years ago and no consumers in src/ or tests/).
PHASE B — cacheManager dead StorageType branches
src/storage/cacheManager.ts
- Collapsed the `isRemoteStorage` flag and its 15 dead conditional branches
spanning calculateOptimalCacheSize() and calculateOptimalBatchSize().
After dropping cloud adapters in step 7, `coldStorageType` is never S3
or REMOTE_API; the branches were dead. Cache sizing and batch sizing now
honor the filesystem-only reality with simpler heuristics.
- Collapsed `detectWarmStorageType()` + `detectColdStorageType()` from
~40 LOC of environment-+-availability branching to 2-line returns of
`StorageType.FILESYSTEM`. Brainy 8.0 ships filesystem + memory only.
NOT YET — Phases C-G in follow-up commits
C: storageAutoConfig.ts + zeroConfig + extensibleConfig + sharedConfigManager
D: TODO/FIXME sweep across src/
E: skipped tests + the parallel-test race condition
F: docs deep clean (BATCHING, augmentations, READMEs)
G: browser support drop (the last 2 @deprecated)
VERIFICATION
- npx tsc --noEmit: clean
- npm test: 1408 / 1409 (same pre-existing race-condition outstanding)
Step 3 of the brainy 8.0 rename scaffolding. The class name now matches
its role: the JS HNSW implementation of the VectorIndexProvider contract.
Per planning § 2.3: this is NOT cosmetic — leaving HNSWIndex when the
public contract is VectorIndexProvider creates a confusing read at the
implementation layer.
CHANGES
Repo-wide mechanical rename: HNSWIndex → JsHnswVectorIndex across 52
references in src/ + 5 references in tests/ via sed. Class declaration,
imports, JSDoc, comments, and identifiers all updated.
src/index.ts
- Primary public export: JsHnswVectorIndex (the new name).
- Backwards-compat alias: `export const HNSWIndex = JsHnswVectorIndex`
with @deprecated note. Removed in the final 8.0 cleanup commit.
NO-OP scope
No behavioural change. The class is exactly the same; only the name
moved. Tests + build green.
VERIFICATION
- npx tsc --noEmit: clean
- npm test: 1468 / 1468 unit
Shutdown/close/flush now properly flushes all 4 components in parallel:
metadataIndex, graphIndex, HNSW dirty nodes, and storage counts. Previously
only counts were flushed, causing native provider data loss on restart.
Also:
- Wire roaring, msgpack, entityIdMapper provider consumption from plugins
- Fix allOf filter O(n²) intersection → O(n) Set-based
- Fix ne/exists negation filter to use Set-based exclusion
- Add setMsgpackImplementation() swap in SSTable for native msgpack
- Add setRoaringImplementation() swap for native CRoaring bitmaps
- Add getAllIntIds() to EntityIdMapper for bitmap operations
- Remove TypeAwareHNSWIndex from default index creation path
- Export memory detection utilities from internals
- Clean up 26 permanently-skipped dead tests
Delete dead code island that was never instantiated in production:
- OptimizedHNSWIndex (430 LOC)
- PartitionedHNSWIndex (412 LOC)
- DistributedSearchSystem (635 LOC)
- ScaledHNSWSystem (744 LOC)
- HNSWIndexOptimized (585 LOC)
- brainy-backup.ts stale example (903 LOC)
Also upgrades entry point recovery from O(n) to O(1) using existing
highLevelNodes index structure.
Production uses only: HNSWIndex (memory) and TypeAwareHNSWIndex (persistent)
BREAKING CHANGE: Remove hard delete option from deleteVerb() for consistent API
- Add complete metadata namespace architecture with O(1) soft delete performance
- Implement periodic cleanup system for old soft-deleted items
- Add restore methods for both nouns and verbs
- Require metadata contracts for all augmentations
- Eliminate namespace collisions with clean separation (_brainy, _augmentations, _audit)
- Optimize index performance using flattened dot-notation for O(1) lookups
- Add comprehensive augmentation safety system with type-safe access control
- Maintain full backward compatibility for existing data
- Add enterprise-grade cleanup with configurable age thresholds and batch processing
