brain.data() now serializes part or all of a brain to a versioned, portable
JSON document (BackupData) and restores it — the path for partial backups,
cross-environment moves, and 7.x→8.0 migration.
- export(selector?, options?): select by ids, collection (+transitive Contains),
connected neighbourhood, vfsPath subtree, predicate, or whole brain; structural
and predicate selectors compose. Options: includeVectors, includeContent (VFS
blobs), includeSystem, edges ('induced'|'incident'|'none').
- import(backup, options?): onConflict 'merge' (dedup-by-id) | 'replace' | 'skip';
reembed 'auto' (re-embed from data when no vector carried) | 'never'; remapIds
to clone a subgraph under fresh ids.
- BackupData v1: format/formatVersion/brainyVersion/createdAt/embedding/entities/
relations/blobs?/danglingIds?/stats. Reserved fields (subtype, data, confidence,
weight, service) top-level; metadata custom-only. Current-state, no generations.
- Replaces the prior flat-entity export() (dropped relations) with a graph-complete
document. Distinct from brain.import(file) ingestion, which is unchanged.
- Export BackupData/BackupEntity/BackupRelation/ExportSelector/ExportOptions/
ImportOptions/ImportResult/DataAPI from the package root. CLI `brainy export`
now writes a BackupData document.

Implements Phase 1.5 (Comprehensive MIME Type Detection) and adds built-in image processing support to IntelligentImportAugmentation.
**New Features:**
- ImageHandler: Extracts image metadata (dimensions, format, color space) using sharp
- EXIF extraction: Camera data, GPS, timestamps using exifr library
- Support for JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, SVG, HEIC, AVIF formats
- MimeTypeDetector: Unified MIME type detection with magic byte support
- FormatDetector: Enhanced with image format detection via MIME + magic bytes
**Architecture Fixes:**
- Fixed brain.import() augmentation pipeline integration (src/brainy.ts:3140-3154)
- Added parameter spreading for ImportSource objects to enable augmentation access
- Fixed metadata propagation through ImportCoordinator to final results
- Added augmentation data check in ImportCoordinator.extract()
**Integration:**
- ImageHandler registered as built-in handler alongside CSV, Excel, PDF
- Images import as 'media' entities with 'image' subtype
- Full metadata preserved in knowledge graph entities
- Configuration options: enableImage, extractEXIF, imageDefaults
**Test Coverage:**
- 15 integration tests (image-import.test.ts) - 100% passing
- 27 unit tests (image-handler.test.ts) - 100% passing
- Format detection tests for all supported image types
- Error handling and resilience tests
**Breaking Changes:** None - backward compatible
