The legacy backup/import/export/stats facade (src/api/DataAPI.ts) drifted
from the modern entity shape and every job it did now has a first-class
surface. Delete it and brain.data(), and rewire the CLI:
- data-stats → brain.stats() (full BrainyStats report: per-type breakdowns,
indexed fields, index health, storage backend, writer lock, version)
- clean → brain.clear()
- export → alias of snapshot; a db.persist() snapshot is the full-fidelity
export format (open with Brainy.load, load wholesale with brainy restore);
external data ingestion remains brainy import (UniversalImportAPI)
Rewiring clean onto brain.clear() exposed two real bugs, both fixed:
- clear() left this.graphIndex undefined forever — any graph-touching call
afterwards (relate, getNeighbors, stats) crashed. clear() now re-resolves
the graph index exactly as init() does and re-wires the shared UUID↔int
resolver, and re-resolves the metadata index with the same provider
fallback as init().
- storage.clear() reset the legacy totals but not the per-type/subtype
count rollups or id→type caches, so stats() reported phantom counts for
deleted entities. Both adapters now delegate derived-state reset to
reloadDerivedState(), the same path restore-from-snapshot uses.
One-shot CLI commands (data-stats, clean, snapshot/export, restore,
history, generation) now close the brain and exit explicitly — global
cache timers otherwise keep the process alive holding the writer lock.
Verified: build clean, 1383/1383 unit tests, 24/24 db-mvcc integration,
plus an end-to-end CLI smoke (add → data-stats → export → clean →
data-stats).
The __words__ keyword index stores 50-5000 entries per entity (one per
word), which inflated avg entries/entity well above the corruption
threshold of 100. This caused:
1. validateConsistency() to falsely detect corruption on every startup,
triggering unnecessary clearAllIndexData() + rebuild() cycles
2. getStats() to log false "Metadata index may be corrupted" warnings
and report inflated totalEntries/totalIds stats
Both methods now skip __words__ when counting, so stats and health
checks reflect metadata fields only (noun, type, createdAt, etc.).
Keyword search is unaffected since the __words__ field index itself
is not modified.
Progressive intervals adjust dynamically based on current entity count
(not total), making them work for both known and unknown totals.
**Key Features:**
- 0-999 entities: Flush every 100 (frequent early updates for UX)
- 1K-9.9K: Flush every 1000 (balanced performance)
- 10K+: Flush every 5000 (minimal overhead ~0.3%)
**Benefits:**
- Works with known totals (file imports)
- Works with unknown totals (streaming APIs, database cursors)
- Adapts automatically as import grows
- Zero configuration required
**Implementation:**
- Replaced adaptive intervals (requires total count) with progressive
- Added interval transition logging for observability
- Enhanced documentation to highlight engineering sophistication
- Final flush with statistics reporting
**Documentation:**
- Added "Engineering Insight" section showcasing advanced approach
- Updated all interval references from "adaptive" to "progressive"
- Added comprehensive examples in streaming-imports.md
