Previously metadataIndex.rebuild() called idMapper.clear() which reset nextId
to 1 and renumbered every UUID by re-insertion order. Any consumer that had
persisted int-keyed data against the old map was silently invalidated — and
2.4.0's vector mmap store (#20), graph link compression (#21), and column-store
JS↔native interchange all need persisted int indices that survive a rebuild.
Remove the unconditional clear() in rebuild(). The rebuild already re-iterates
every entity via idMapper.getOrAssign(uuid), which returns the existing int
unchanged for known UUIDs. Stale UUID→int entries for entities no longer in
storage persist as harmless memory overhead; a dedicated prune step can be
added if it ever matters.
clearAllIndexData() — the explicit nuclear recovery path — keeps its existing
idMapper.clear() call (renumbering is intentional there), and now logs a
prodLog.warn making it explicit that any persisted int-keyed data is invalidated
and must be rebuilt from canonical sources.
Strengthened the EntityIdMapper class JSDoc to document the stability guarantee
as a contract — append-only getOrAssign, monotonic nextId, remove() leaves
permanent holes, rebuild() never renumbers, only clear() does.
Added tests/regression/entity-id-mapper-stability.test.ts pinning down the
five-point contract: (1) single-rebuild stability; (2) many-rebuild stability;
(3) post-rebuild adds get fresh monotonic ints; (4) removes leave permanent
holes — new entities never recycle; (5) clearAllIndexData() explicitly
renumbers (the documented destructive path).
Foundation for 2.4.0 #2-#4. Full test suite (62 files, 1417 tests) green.
Three bugs caused deleted entities to persist in the metadata index:
1. idMapper never cleaned up — EntityIdMapper accumulated UUID→int mappings
permanently. idMapper.getAllIntIds() is used as the universe for ne and
exists:false operators, so deleted entities returned in those queries
indefinitely. Fix: removeFromIndex() now calls idMapper.remove(id) and
idMapper.flush() after all bitmap operations complete (must be last because
removeFromChunk() reads idMapper.getInt(id) internally).
2. Optional fields indexed as __NULL__ but never unindexed — entityForIndexing
in add() included confidence, weight, and createdBy as explicit keys even
when undefined. Object.entries() preserves undefined-valued keys so
extractIndexableFields() indexed them as '__NULL__' bitmap entries.
storageMetadata omitted those keys via conditional spreading, so
removeFromIndex() passed a structure without those keys and never cleaned
them up. Fix: entityForIndexing now uses conditional spreading for
confidence, weight, and createdBy matching storageMetadata exactly.
3. result.successful updated before transaction commits — deleteMany() pushed
ids to result.successful inside the transaction builder, before
transaction.execute() ran. A rollback would leave result.successful
containing ids that were never actually deleted. Fix: queued ids are held
in a local chunkQueued array and moved to result.successful only after
executeTransaction() resolves without throwing.
Adds regression test suite (14 tests) covering delete() and deleteMany() for
type-index cleanup, ne operator, exists:false operator, optional-field indexing,
and partial deletion correctness.

CRITICAL BUG FIX - v5.7.0 caused complete production failure
PROBLEM:
v5.7.0 introduced circular dependency deadlock during GraphAdjacencyIndex initialization:
GraphAdjacencyIndex.rebuild()
→ storage.getVerbs()
→ getVerbsBySource_internal()
→ getGraphIndex() [NEW in v5.7.0]
→ [waiting for rebuild to complete]
→ DEADLOCK
SYMPTOMS (Production Impact):
- ALL imports hung at "Reading Data Structure" for 760+ seconds
- brain.add() operations took 12+ seconds per entity (50x slower)
- Zero entities imported successfully
- 100% of Workshop users unable to import files
- No errors thrown - infinite wait
- Forced immediate rollback to v5.6.3
ROOT CAUSE:
v5.7.0 modified storage internal methods (getVerbsBySource_internal,
getVerbsByTarget_internal) to use GraphAdjacencyIndex optimization,
creating tight coupling where storage depends on index AND index depends
on storage. This violated separation of concerns and created deadlock.
SOLUTION (Architectural Fix):
Reverted storage internals to v5.6.3 implementation (lines 2320-2444):
- Storage layer simple, no index dependencies ✅
- GraphAdjacencyIndex can safely call storage.getVerbs() to rebuild ✅
- No circular dependency possible ✅
- Proper layered architecture restored ✅
LAYERS (Correct Architecture):
Layer 3 (Brainy/Queries): CAN use GraphAdjacencyIndex
Layer 2 (GraphAdjacencyIndex): Uses storage.getVerbs() to rebuild
Layer 1 (Storage Internals): NO GraphAdjacencyIndex calls
IMPACT:
- Slightly slower GraphAdjacencyIndex.rebuild() (one-time init cost)
- High-level queries still use optimized index
- Import performance unaffected (writes don't trigger init)
- NO breaking changes to public API
TESTING:
- Added 4 regression tests (tests/regression/v5.7.0-deadlock.test.ts)
- All 1146 existing tests pass ✅
- Import + relationships complete in <1 second (not 760+)
- No 12+ second delays per entity ✅
FILES CHANGED:
- src/storage/baseStorage.ts (reverted lines 2320-2444 to v5.6.3)
- tests/regression/v5.7.0-deadlock.test.ts (new regression tests)
- CHANGELOG.md (comprehensive v5.7.1 entry with upgrade instructions)
VERIFICATION:
Workshop team should upgrade immediately:
npm install @soulcraft/brainy@5.7.1
