Rewrite the four open-core distance functions (cosine / euclidean / manhattan /
dot-product) from object-accumulating `reduce` to single-pass allocation-free
indexed loops. cosine's per-element `{dotProduct,normA,normB}` object was the
hot-path GC lever.
MEASURED (tests/benchmarks/distance-microbench.mjs, dim=384, N=20000, median of
41): cosine 44.3ms -> 7.4ms (~6x), euclidean 9.2ms -> 6.6ms (~1.4x); the built
cosineDistance drops ~44ms -> ~9ms. Numerically identical (same ops, same order)
so recall is unchanged; full suite green (1753/1753).
Also drop the unfounded perf JSDoc ("faster than GPU", "Node.js 23.11+") and the
`new Function(distanceFn.toString())` eval in calculateDistancesBatch — with the
functions now tight loops, the batch is a thin JIT-inlined map (no worker, no
stringify/reconstruct).
Evidence-revised scope: the Float32Array resident-storage half of the original
Fork X is DROPPED. The same microbench shows Float32Array is ~1.7x SLOWER for
this compute (V8 widens f32 -> f64 on every element read), so it would regress
the hot path for a RAM win the open-core JS path does not need — billion-scale
vector RAM is the native provider's SIMD/mmap/quantized domain. The resident
representation stays number[]; no type-chain or cache changes.
Brainy 8.0 is server-only. This commit takes the consequences seriously and
removes everything that was only there to keep browser/cloud/threading
surfaces alive.
Browser support drop (per the @deprecated notes in environment.ts):
- isBrowser, isWebWorker, areWebWorkersAvailable, navigator.deviceMemory
paths, window/document/self.onmessage code.
- browser console.log in unified.ts, the 'browser' branch in
autoConfiguration.ts (env enum + scaleUp cases), 'browser-cache' model
path, MCP service environment value.
- package.json browser field.
- src/worker.ts (Web Worker entrypoint) deleted.
Cloud SDK removal (the four adapters were dropped in Phase 7; the SDKs
were the lingering tax):
- @aws-sdk/client-s3, @azure/identity, @azure/storage-blob, and
@google-cloud/storage removed from package.json. Lockfile drops the
entire @aws/@azure/@google-cloud/@smithy transitive tree.
- EnhancedS3Clear class deleted from enhancedClearOperations.ts (the
only @aws-sdk/client-s3 consumer; the dynamic import sites went with
it). EnhancedFileSystemClear stays.
- src/utils/adaptiveSocketManager.ts deleted entirely (474 LOC of HTTPS
socket-pool management for the dropped cloud HTTP handler).
performanceMonitor.ts no longer reports a socketConfig; socket
utilization is fixed at 0.
Dead threading subsystem:
- executeInThread was imported by distance.ts and hnswIndex.ts but
never called. It was scaffolding for a future "off-main-thread
distance batch" optimization that never shipped.
- src/utils/workerUtils.ts deleted (Web Worker code path + an
unreachable Node Worker Threads code path).
- environment.ts loses isThreadingAvailable, isThreadingAvailableAsync,
areWorkerThreadsAvailable, areWorkerThreadsAvailableSync. All exports
purged from index.ts and unified.ts.
- autoConfiguration.ts drops AutoConfigResult.threadingAvailable.
Legacy plugin/augmentation pipeline:
- src/pipeline.ts deleted. The whole file was a no-op stub for
backwards compat — Pipeline class had no methods, no lifecycle hooks,
no before/after callbacks. AugmentationPipeline, augmentationPipeline,
createPipeline, createStreamingPipeline, StreamlinedPipelineOptions,
StreamlinedPipelineResult, StreamlinedExecutionMode were all aliases
for the same stub.
- src/mcp/mcpAugmentationToolset.ts deleted. executePipeline always
threw "deprecated", isValidAugmentationType always returned false,
getAvailableTools always returned []. Dead surface.
- BrainyMCPService no longer instantiates a toolset. TOOL_EXECUTION
requests now return the standard UNSUPPORTED_REQUEST_TYPE error.
'availableTools' system-info returns [] (was the same in practice).
Net: 22 files changed, ~6400 LOC deleted (including legacy code +
mechanical lockfile churn). Build clean, 1409/1409 tests pass.
