A canonical row persisted with vector: [] (a system row, a deferred embed
not yet landed, or any other legitimately-unvectored record) is a normal,
enumerable row -- but rebuild()'s storage walk had no guard against it.
storage.getVectorIndexData() derives its answer from the row's own record,
so it returns non-null for any existing noun whether or not that noun was
ever actually indexed -- rebuild() admitted such rows into the live graph
with a length-0 vector. A vector-less node could become the entry point (or
occupy any graph position); the next real insert then ran a distance
calculation against it and blew up with a dimension mismatch.
Fix at two layers in src/hnsw/hnswIndex.ts:
- rebuild() now skips any row whose vector.length === 0 before it ever
becomes a graph node (one summary count line, never per-row spam), and
restores the pinned dimension from the first real vector it loads --
previously the pin stayed null across a restart, since addItem/updateItem
are the only sites that set it and rebuild() never goes through either.
- addItem/updateItem now refuse a length-0 vector with a typed
EmptyVectorIndexError instead of ever pinning dimension to 0 or storing a
vector-less node, so no future fill/rebuild/load path can poison the index
silently. getVectorSafe's lazy-load "not found" check also missed that an
empty array is truthy -- tightened to catch it.
IndexOperations.ts's ReplaceInVectorIndexOperation rollback paths now skip
re-adding an oldVector of length 0 (never a legal index member) instead of
attempting an illegal empty re-insert on rollback.
biography.test.ts's final ledger-exactness assertion assumed every noun the
lane creates is vectored, including the VFS root counted in
vfsBaselineNouns -- but the root is deliberately persisted unvectored.
Corrected the expected formula to exclude it.
Adds tests/integration/index-skips-unvectored.test.ts pinning: rebuild()
indexes only vectored rows with the dimension pinned correctly; clear()
then real adds never trip a dimension mismatch; addItem/updateItem refuse a
length-0 vector; and a crash/repair cycle stays dimension-consistent.
