Fixed critical bug where COW storage initialization was creating the 'main'
branch with a tree hash (0000...0) instead of creating an actual commit object.
This caused getHistory() to fail with "Blob not found: 0000...0" on fresh
Brainy instances.
Changes:
- src/storage/baseStorage.ts: Create initial commit object during initialization
- tests/integration/empty-tree-bug.test.ts: Add regression tests
The 'main' branch now properly points to an initial commit with an empty tree,
allowing commit history to be traversed correctly.

Fixed three critical bugs in v5.3.0:
1. COW ref resolution bug (lines 2354, 2856, 2895 in src/brainy.ts):
- getHistory(), commit(), deleteBranch() were prepending 'heads/' to branch names
- This caused RefManager to resolve 'heads/main' to 'refs/heads/heads/main'
- Actual ref file at 'refs/heads/main' could not be found
- Result: "Ref not found: heads/main" error breaking all COW operations
2. VersionManager commitHash bug (lines 212, 222 in src/versioning/VersionManager.ts):
- save() was assigning entire Ref object to commitHash instead of ref.commitHash
- Expected string, got object causing type mismatches in version metadata
3. Test mock improvements (tests/unit/versioning/VersionManager.test.ts):
- Fixed searchByMetadata to skip metadata check for 'type' property
- Added glob pattern support for tag filtering (e.g. 'v1.*')
- Added deleteNounMetadata mock
- Fixed getNounMetadata to return null for missing version entities
Fixes:
- src/brainy.ts (3 lines): Remove 'heads/' prefix from ref resolution calls
- src/versioning/VersionManager.ts (2 lines): Use ref.commitHash instead of ref
- tests/unit/versioning/VersionManager.test.ts: Fix test mocks
- tests/integration/history-ref-resolution-bug.test.ts: Add regression tests
Test Results:
- Before: 16 test failures
- After: 0 failures in VersionManager tests, 1183/1208 total tests passing (98%)
- Fix commit() call signature (takes single options object, not two args)
- Fix disableAutoRebuild comparison to avoid TypeScript 5.4+ type narrowing issue

## Bug Fix
**Issue**: When using `brain.import(filePath, { preserveSource: true })`,
binary files (PDFs, images, Excel) were NOT being preserved in VFS, causing
Z_DATA_ERROR when trying to read them back.
**Root Cause**: ImportCoordinator line 444 checked for `type === 'buffer'`,
but normalizeSource() returns `type: 'path'` for file paths (the most common
case). This caused `sourceBuffer = undefined`, silently failing to preserve
the source file.
**Fix**: Changed condition to `Buffer.isBuffer(normalizedSource.data)` to
handle both Buffer objects and file paths correctly.
## Code Changes
**src/import/ImportCoordinator.ts:445**
```typescript
// BEFORE (v5.1.1)
sourceBuffer: normalizedSource.type === 'buffer' ? normalizedSource.data as Buffer : undefined
// AFTER (v5.1.2)
sourceBuffer: Buffer.isBuffer(normalizedSource.data) ? normalizedSource.data as Buffer : undefined
```
## Testing
Added comprehensive tests in `tests/unit/import/preserve-source-fix.test.ts`:
- ✅ File path import with preserveSource: true (main fix)
- ✅ Verify preserveSource: false works correctly
- ✅ Binary file integrity (no corruption)
## Impact
**Before**: Workshop team experienced Z_DATA_ERROR reading imported PDFs
**After**: Binary files correctly preserved and readable from VFS

CRITICAL BUG FIX: TypeAwareStorage metadata race condition
Problem:
- saveNoun() called before saveNounMetadata()
- TypeAwareStorage couldn't determine entity type (not cached yet)
- Defaulted to 'thing' and saved to wrong storage path
- Later saveNounMetadata() saved to correct path
- Noun and metadata in different locations = entity not found
Impact:
- Broke VFS file operations completely
- Broke brain.get(), brain.relate(), brain.find()
- All metadata-dependent features failed
- Workshop team completely blocked
Solution:
- Reversed save order: saveNounMetadata() FIRST, then saveNoun()
- Type now cached before saveNoun() needs it
- Both saved to correct type-aware paths
Additional Fixes:
- Make baseStorage.initializeCOW() public (was protected)
- Remove enableCOW config option (cleanup)
- COW auto-init temporarily disabled (deadlock issue)
Known Limitations (v5.0.1):
- Fork API exists but COW requires manual init
- Will be zero-config in v5.1.0

Previous versions had complete data loss bug where restore() only wrote to memory cache without updating indexes or persisting to disk/cloud. Data disappeared on restart.
Root cause: restore() called storage.saveNoun() directly, bypassing proper persistence path through brain.add().
Fix: Now uses brain.addMany() and brain.relateMany() which:
- Updates all 5 indexes (HNSW, metadata, adjacency, sparse, type-aware)
- Properly persists to disk/cloud storage
- Uses storage-aware batching for optimal performance
- Prevents circuit breaker activation
- Data survives instance restart
Added features:
- Progress reporting via onProgress callback
- Detailed error tracking and reporting
- Cross-storage restore support (backup from GCS, restore to filesystem, etc.)
- Automatic verification after restore
Breaking change: Return type changed from Promise<void> to detailed result object. Impact is minimal as most code doesn't use return value.

Storage-aware batching system prevents rate limiting issues on cloud storage (GCS, S3, R2, Azure). Replaces entity-by-entity creation with addMany()/relateMany() batch operations in ImportCoordinator. Separate read/write circuit breakers prevent read lockouts during write throttling. Each storage adapter auto-configures optimal batch sizes and delays. Fixes silent data loss and 30+ second lockouts on 1000+ row imports.

CRITICAL FIX v4.10.3: The v4.10.2 release only fixed VFS initialization but missed the
underlying file corruption bug. During concurrent bulk imports, files were being truncated
because writes were not atomic.
Changes:
1. saveNode() - Added atomic temp+rename pattern for HNSW JSON files (line 252)
2. writeObjectToPath() - Added atomic temp+rename for compressed/uncompressed metadata (line 654)
3. saveEdge() - Added atomic temp+rename for verb JSON files (line 461)
This prevents the Workshop team's reported errors:
- SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input (HNSW files truncated)
- Error: unexpected end of file (compressed metadata truncated)
All file write operations now use atomic temp file + rename sequence:
1. Write to temp file with unique timestamp + random suffix
2. Atomic rename temp → final (OS-level atomicity guarantee)
3. Clean up temp file on error
This matches the atomic pattern already added to saveHNSWData() in v4.10.1,
but now applied consistently across ALL file write operations.
The VFSStructureGenerator.init() method tried to check if VFS was initialized
by calling stat('/'), which would throw if uninitialized. However, this
approach was unreliable. Changed to always call vfs.init() explicitly,
which is safe since vfs.init() is idempotent.
This fixes the critical bug where Excel imports completed successfully but
no VFS files were accessible afterwards. Users would see 'VFS not initialized'
errors when trying to query imported files.
Tested with 567-row Excel file - VFS now properly shows imported directory
structure with Characters/, Places/, Concepts/ subdirectories and metadata files.
CRITICAL FIX for Entity_* placeholder names in multi-sheet Excel imports
Root Cause:
- Column detection ran globally on first row of all combined sheets
- Different sheets have different column structures (Term vs Name, etc.)
- Concepts sheet: [Term, Definition] → detected 'Term' column ✅
- Characters sheet: [Name, Description] → looked for 'Term' column ❌
- Result: Characters/Places/Other fell back to Entity_* placeholders
Fix:
- Group rows by sheet (_sheet field)
- Detect columns per-sheet, not globally
- Each sheet now uses its own column mapping
- Characters/Places sheets now correctly find 'Name' column
Impact:
- Concepts: Still work (no change)
- Characters/Places/Other: NOW USE ACTUAL NAMES! 🎉
Also removed debug logging from v4.8.5 (performance overhead)
Fixes: Workshop File Explorer showing Entity_* instead of real names
Ref: BRAINY_V4.8.4_VFS_UNDEFINED_NAMES_BUG.md
- Add debug logging to VFS readdir() to show children and VFSDirent structure

Overall: 98.3% test pass rate (988/997 tests)
v4.8.0 caused metadata filters to fail because custom fields were indexed
with 'metadata.' prefix but queries used flat field names.
Root cause:
- extractIndexableFields() indexed custom fields as 'metadata.category'
- Queries used { category: 'B' } looking for 'category' field
- Result: 0 matches despite entities existing
Solution:
- Flatten custom metadata fields to top-level in index (no prefix)
- Standard fields (type, createdAt, etc.) already at top-level
- Custom fields won't conflict with standard field names
- Now queries work: { category: 'B' } finds 'category' field
Results:
- Fixed 4 more tests (25 → 21 failures)
- All find.test.ts tests passing (17/17)
- Test pass rate: 97.1% (976/1005)

CRITICAL FIX: VFS bug that persisted through v4.5.1-v4.7.4 is NOW FIXED.
Root Cause:
- Storage adapters were not properly extracting standard fields from metadata
- This caused getVerbsBySource_internal() to return 0 relationships despite relationships existing
- VFS PathResolver couldn't navigate directory structure
Solution - Metadata Architecture Refactoring:
1. Move standard fields to top-level of HNSWNounWithMetadata and HNSWVerbWithMetadata
- type, createdAt, updatedAt, confidence, weight, service, data, createdBy
2. Update all 9 storage adapters to extract standard fields from metadata on load
3. Maintain backward compatibility at storage layer (metadata files unchanged)
Changes:
- src/coreTypes.ts: Update HNSWNounWithMetadata and HNSWVerbWithMetadata interfaces
- Add top-level standard fields
- Change data type from unknown to Record<string, any>
- Add confidence field to GraphVerb
- src/storage/baseStorage.ts: Add type cast pattern for standard field extraction
- src/storage/adapters/*.ts: Fix all 9 adapters (memoryStorage, fileSystemStorage, gcsStorage,
s3CompatibleStorage, r2Storage, opfsStorage, azureBlobStorage, typeAwareStorageAdapter)
- Extract standard fields from metadata on load
- Place at top-level of returned entities
- src/api/DataAPI.ts: Read fields from top-level instead of metadata
- src/graph/graphAdjacencyIndex.ts: Convert HNSWVerbWithMetadata to GraphVerb format
- src/utils/metadataIndex.ts: Fix typo (metadata → entityOrMetadata)
- src/types/brainy.types.ts: Add createdBy field to AddParams
- src/types/graphTypes.ts: Add service field to GraphVerb
Test Results:
✅ VFS bug FIXED - vfs.readdir('/') now returns files (was returning empty array)
✅ getVerbsBySource_internal() now returns relationships correctly
✅ Build succeeds with ZERO compilation errors
✅ 95.7% of tests pass (954/997)

CRITICAL VFS BUG FIX - Root Cause Analysis:
The issue was that baseStorage.getVerbs() had optimizations for:
- sourceId only
- targetId only
- verbType only
But VFS PathResolver.getChildren() queries with BOTH sourceId AND verbType:
getRelations({ from: dirId, type: VerbType.Contains })
This combination wasn't optimized, so it fell through to the
getVerbsWithPagination() path, which MemoryStorage doesn't implement,
causing it to return empty results.
Fix: Added optimization for sourceId + verbType combination
- Uses O(1) graph index lookup for sourceId
- Filters results by verbType in O(n)
- Enables VFS readdir() to work correctly
This was the real bug preventing Workshop team from seeing their
567 markdown files in vfs.readdir('/').

- Works in both metadata-only and vector+metadata query paths
- O(k) memory complexity where k = filtered results
Fix timestamp sorting precision issue:
- Load actual timestamp values from entity metadata for sorting
- Avoids 1-minute bucketing precision loss
- Maintains bucketing for efficient range queries
Fix range query operators:
- Normalize min/max bounds before comparison with bucketed index
- Ensures gte, lte, gt, lt work correctly with timestamps
Standardize operator syntax:
- Canonical: eq, ne, gt, gte, lt, lte, in, between, contains, exists
- Deprecate: is, isNot, greaterEqual, lessEqual (remove in v5.0.0)
- Maintain backward compatibility with aliases
Test results: All sorting and range query tests pass, no regressions
- v4.5.3: Fix root selection when multiple roots exist
- brain.find() returns Result[] which has entity.createdAt, not top-level createdAt
- Changed from (a as any).createdAt to a.entity?.createdAt
- Ensures oldest root is selected (most likely to have VFS files)
- Fixes Workshop team bug where VFS files exist but readdir('/') returns empty
Related: v4.5.2 tried to fix field name but accessed wrong object level
When multiple root directory entities exist, initializeRoot() was using
the wrong field name to sort by creation time, causing it to select the
NEWER root (no children) instead of the OLDER root (with children).
Changed from metadata.createdAt (doesn't exist) to entity.createdAt
(correct field). This ensures VFS correctly uses the root with all the
Contains relationships.

CRITICAL BUG FIX - VFS Files Were Completely Invisible
Workshop Team Issue:
- Import created 569 VFS files
- vfs.readdir('/') returned 0 items
- VFS was 100% unusable
Root Cause:
v4.4.0 added includeVFS to brain.find() but FORGOT brain.getRelations().
PathResolver.getChildren() calls getRelations() to find VFS relationships,
but those were being excluded by default - making ALL VFS files invisible!
Fix:
1. Add includeVFS parameter to GetRelationsParams interface
2. Wire includeVFS filtering in brain.getRelations()
- Excludes VFS relationships by default (metadata.isVFS != true)
- Include them when includeVFS: true
3. Update VFS to mark all relationships with metadata: { isVFS: true }
- 7 relate() calls updated in VirtualFileSystem.ts
4. Update PathResolver to use includeVFS: true
- resolveChild() line 200
- getChildren() line 229

CRITICAL BUG FIX: VFS.initializeRoot() was calling brain.find() without
includeVFS: true, causing it to exclude VFS entities. This meant it could
never find an existing VFS root, and would create a new one on every init.
This directly caused the Workshop team's issue with ~10 duplicate roots!
All VFS internal methods that call brain.find() or brain.similar() now
correctly use includeVFS: true:
- ✅ initializeRoot() (line 171) - JUST FIXED
- ✅ search() (line 958)
- ✅ findSimilar() (line 1009)
- ✅ searchEntities() (line 2327)
- Added 'vfsType: file' filter to vfs.search() to exclude knowledge documents
- Added 'vfsType: file' filter to vfs.findSimilar() for consistency
- Fixed test failures caused by knowledge entities lacking .path property
- All 8 VFS API wiring tests now passing
This ensures API consistency - VFS search methods only return VFS entities
with proper path metadata, never knowledge documents.
