New report APIs:
- brain.queryAggregate(name, params) returns the clean AggregateResult[] shape
({ groupKey, metrics, count }) directly, instead of the search-Result wrapper that
find({ aggregate }) returns.
- HAVING: find({ aggregate, having }) and queryAggregate filter groups by computed
metric values (e.g. revenue > 1000), complementing where (which filters group keys).
Evaluated per group: O(groups), independent of entity count.
Fixes (all reproducible on Node; surfaced under Cortex+Bun by Memory):
- Aggregate backfill-on-define: defining an aggregate over a store that already holds
matching entities returned []. It now backfills from existing entities on first query
(storage-agnostic via getNouns), so it works under durable backends that reopen
pre-populated. groupBy:['noun'] resolves to the entity type; find({ aggregate }) rows
expose groupKey/metrics/count at the top level.
- Multi-hop find({ connected: { depth, via } }) honors depth and via at every hop
(was 1-hop only, with verb filtering applied to hop 1 only); BFS bounded by limit.
- extractEntities no longer bleeds a neighbour's type indicator across candidates; each
candidate is typed by its own span. Also fixes the "Dr." title pattern.
Adds real-embedding regression tests; full unit suite green.

Brainy Documentation
The multi-dimensional AI database with Triple Intelligence — vector search, graph traversal, and metadata filtering in one unified API.
Quick Start
import { Brainy, NounType, VerbType } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
const brain = new Brainy()
await brain.init()
// Add entities — data is embedded for semantic search, metadata is indexed for filtering
const id = await brain.add({
data: 'Revolutionary AI Breakthrough',
type: NounType.Document,
metadata: { category: 'technology', rating: 4.8 }
})
// Search with Triple Intelligence
const results = await brain.find({
query: 'artificial intelligence', // Semantic search (on data)
where: { rating: { greaterThan: 4.0 } }, // Metadata filter
connected: { from: authorId, depth: 2 } // Graph traversal
})
