Consumer-invisible modernization pass — no public API or runtime-behavior
change; dist for the override-only files is byte-identical.
Toolchain:
- CI: GitHub Actions matrix — Node 22/24 (test:unit) + Bun latest (test:bun).
- engines: node ">=22" (was "22.x"), bun ">=1.1.0".
- tsconfig: isolatedModules + noImplicitOverride; add the 33 `override`
modifiers the flag requires across storage/integrations/vfs/transaction.
- deps: @types/node ^22; add prettier; drop dead standard-version,
@rollup/plugin-* and the redundant embedded eslintConfig (flat
eslint.config.js is the active config — verified identical lint output).
paramValidation: replace the top-level `await import('node:os'/'node:fs')`
with static ESM imports. The top-level-await form poisoned the module graph;
static imports also drop the browser/edge fallback branches no supported
runtime reaches (8.0 is Node/Bun/Deno-only).
Bun positioning: recommend Bun as a runtime (`bun add` / `bun run`), which is
green (test:bun 8/8). Drop single-binary `bun build --compile` as a target —
native addons cannot embed into it, and Bun 1.3.10 has a `--compile` codegen
regression around top-level await. Rename the Bun test to bun-runtime-test.ts
and correct docs that overclaimed single-binary support.
Gates: typecheck 0, build 0, test:unit 1743/1743, test:bun 8/8.

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
})
