The GA-readiness audit found the public docs had drifted from the shipped
surface and presented uncited performance numbers as measured fact.
- quick-start: `FindResult`→`Result`, `VerbType.BuiltOn`→`DependsOn` (the
canonical getting-started example now compiles).
- noun-verb-taxonomy: rewrote every sample off removed/fictional APIs
(`augment`/`connectModel`/`getVerbs`/two-arg `add`/`like`/`$gte`) onto the
real single-object `add`/`find`/`relate`/`related`; replaced the stale
31-noun/40-verb catalogs with accurate, complete tables (42 nouns, 127 verbs).
- triple-intelligence: `like:`→`query:`, dollar-operators→bare operators, and
several other fictional keys swept to the real `FindParams`.
- FIND_SYSTEM / PERFORMANCE / index-architecture / BATCHING: replaced
fabricated, mutually-inconsistent latency tables and uncited speedup
multipliers with Big-O characterizations, qualitative mechanism descriptions,
and the one genuinely-measured benchmark (graph O(1) neighbor lookup), per the
evidence-based-claims rule.

8.0 RC cleanup toward "one place per thing, zero-config, no deprecation":
- Remove the `brain.neural()` clustering namespace (ImprovedNeuralAPI + the dead
legacy NeuralAPI + the neural CLI + neural-only types). Similarity is `find({vector})`
/ `similar({to})`; attribute grouping is the aggregation `GROUP BY` engine. The separate
entity-extraction / smart-import feature (NeuralImport, NeuralEntityExtractor, SmartExtractor,
NaturalLanguageProcessor, `brain.extract()`/`brain.nlp()`) is kept.
- Remove `Db.search()`; `find()` is the one query verb (accepts a bare string or FindParams).
Fix the bundled MCP client, which called a non-existent `brain.search(query, limit)` →
now `find({ query, limit })`.
- Storage config: collapse to one canonical top-level `path` key. The pre-8.0 aliases
(`rootDirectory`, `options.*`, `fileSystemStorage.*`) are removed and now THROW with the
exact rename instead of silently defaulting to `./brainy-data` on upgrade. A single resolver
feeds createStorage, the 7.x→8.0 migration probe, and the plugin-factory handoff, so a native
storage provider resolves the identical root (no split-brain).
- Fix `similar({ threshold })`: the min-similarity filter was silently dropped; it is now
applied as a post-filter on `result.score` (the documented way to bound semantic results).
- Fix `vfs.rename()` on a directory: child path updates spread the entity vector into `update()`
and failed dimension validation; they are metadata-only updates now.
- Fix `vfs.move()`: copy+delete orphaned the content-addressed content blob (the destination
shared the source hash, then unlink removed it). `move()` now delegates to `rename()` — an
in-place path change that preserves the blob and the entity id, for files and directories.
- Fix streaming import: the bulk fast path never flushed mid-import nor signalled queryability.
Entity writes are now chunked by a progressive flush interval (100 → 1000 → 5000); each chunk
flushes and emits `progress.queryable`, so imported data is queryable during the import.
- Sweep all docs, comments, and JSDoc for the removed/changed APIs.
Integration suite: 49 files / 588 passed / 0 failed. Unit: 80 files / 1456 passed, no type errors.
Add YAML frontmatter (slug, public, category, template, order) to 8
existing docs and 2 new getting-started guides (installation, quick-start).
Include docs/**/*.md in npm package files so the portal sync-docs script
can read them from node_modules after publish.
Update CLAUDE.md with docs pipeline trigger phrases and release checklist.
