🎯 THE GREAT CLEANUP - Making Brainy Beautiful
BREAKING CHANGES:
- Removed addSmart() method (use add() - it's smart by default)

- Consolidated into ONE Cortex class (the orchestrator)
- Pipeline class now delegates to Cortex (backward compatibility)
- Clean CLI: add, import, search, status, help (ONE way to do everything)
- Interactive mode for beginners

## Major Architecture Improvements
### Cortex Refactoring
- Renamed AugmentationPipeline → Cortex for clarity
- Cortex is now the central orchestrator (not an augmentation)
- NeuralImport remains as the AI-powered SENSE augmentation
- Clean brain metaphor: BrainyData → Cortex → Augmentations
### Four-Tier Augmentation System
1. **Built-in** (Free, MIT): Neural Import, basic storage, search
2. **Community** (Free, npm): Community-created augmentations
3. **Premium** ($49-299/mo): AI Memory, Agent Coordinator, Enterprise connectors
4. **Brain Cloud** ($19-99/mo): Managed service with all features
### Zero Configuration Philosophy
- Everything works out of the box - no config needed
- Automatic model detection and loading
- Seamless integration between tiers
- Brain Cloud connects with one command: `brainy cloud`
### Documentation Updates
- Added PHILOSOPHY.md outlining design principles
- Created AUGMENTATION_ARCHITECTURE.md with tier system
- Added CLI_AUGMENTATION_GUIDE.md for augmentation management
- Updated README to "sell first" with concrete use cases
- Improved documentation organization in /docs
### Developer Experience
- Backward compatibility maintained with exports
- Clean, simple API surface
- Interactive-by-default approach
- Premium features integrate seamlessly
### Removed
- Deleted demo directory and deploy workflow (moved to website)
- Removed test wrapper scripts (bash 2>&1 bug workaround)
This refactor makes Brainy incredibly powerful yet easy to use, with everything automated and no configuration required. The Brain Cloud augmentations (AI memory, sync, coordination) integrate seamlessly as our killer features.
- Updated all soulcraftlabs.com references to soulcraft.com
- Updated all soulcraft-research.com references to soulcraft.com
- Updated CLI and documentation to use new domain
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed getAllNouns() and getAllVerbs() from StorageAdapter interface
These methods could cause expensive full scans on cloud storage (S3/R2) leading to
high costs and performance issues. Replaced with safe paginated methods.
Changes:
- Remove getAllNouns/getAllVerbs from StorageAdapter interface and implementations
- Add internal optimization methods for intelligent preloading when safe
- Fix OPFS storage file naming consistency (.json extension)
- Fix S3 high-volume mode detection thresholds (was too aggressive)
- Fix TypeScript compilation errors with async methods
- Update all tests to use paginated methods
Performance:
- Add smart dataset size detection for automatic optimization
- Maintain all internal performance optimizations through safe preloading
- Only preload data in read-only mode or when dataset is small (<10k entities)
Fixes:
- Fix intelligent verb scoring tests metadata structure
- Fix S3 storage getVerbsBySource/Target/Type methods
- Fix memory usage in search operations using pagination
Docs:
- Add comprehensive storage architecture documentation
- Document known bash redirection issue
- Update README with architecture doc link
All affected tests passing
Major improvements to build process, package optimization, and test infrastructure:
## Package Size Optimization (3.4MB → 2.2MB)
- Remove source maps from npm package (reduce size by 35%)
- Update package.json files field to exclude *.js.map and *.d.ts.map
- Enhanced .npmignore for better exclusion patterns
- Preserve all browser compatibility and universal shims
## Test Infrastructure Fixes
- Increase test timeouts to 120s for TensorFlow operations
- Improve memory management with garbage collection hooks
- Add proper cleanup between tests to prevent file accumulation
- Configure single-fork test execution to reduce memory usage
- Fix test parameter issues in intelligent verb scoring tests
## Bug Fixes
- Fix lock directory creation in FileSystemStorage
- Remove deprecated node-fetch import from api-integration tests
- Fix addVerb() and db.add() parameter usage throughout test suite
- Ensure proper vector dimensions (384) in all test vectors
- Add directory existence checks before lock file operations
## Build & Development
- Update vitest configuration for better concurrency and reliability
- Add comprehensive test cleanup in setup.ts
- Preserve all browser JavaScript functionality and universal compatibility layer
The package now meets size requirements while maintaining full functionality
for both browser and Node.js environments.
- Fixed issue with mysterious "2" appearing in test commands
- Cleaned up prototyping changes from brain-cloud/MCP experiments
- Tests passing (with some timeouts on long-running tests)
- Build successful
