a99b1e83c4 chore: rename to @soulcraftlabs/brainy for Open Brainy on The Source
Prepares the repo for its new home at soulcraftlabs/open-brainy ahead
of the Forgejo transfer: package name, publish registry, release
script, and every install/import reference across docs, src, tests,
examples, and integrations now point at @soulcraftlabs/brainy on
The Source. The npmjs storefront leg and byte-identity pair
verification are stripped from the release script — The Source is
now the only publish target. README gains an Open Brainy explainer
and a registry note for consumers.

@soulcraft/brainy 10.4.2 was the last release under the old name.

96624f408c feat(open-path): init never gates on the embedding model; open goes concurrent; slow opens narrate
A production restart storm measured 90,017ms for a single brain init vs
1,117ms quiet (~80x contention multiplier), traced to performInit() eagerly
awaiting the process-global WASM embedding engine before the VFS root even
existed. Every writer's open() queued on the one throttled model compile
(90-140s on throttled CPUs).

- VirtualFileSystem.doInitializeRoot() no longer embeds '/'. The root is
  system-tier plumbing nothing ever searches; when the default WASM engine
  is active it now gets an explicit all-zero placeholder vector
  (cosineDistance returns max distance for a zero vector, so it never ranks
  ahead of real content). deferEmbedding was considered and rejected: its
  landing path kicks the embed worker synchronously right after commit,
  which would still force the cold compile within milliseconds — just off
  the awaited path, not avoided. A registered native 'embeddings' provider
  (no cold-start cost, possibly a different dimension) still embeds the
  root for real, via the new Brainy.usesDefaultWasmEmbedder() seam.

- performInit()'s eager-embedding step now only STARTS the WASM engine warm
  in the background instead of awaiting it inline. embed()/embeddingManager
  already serialize concurrent callers on one shared init promise, so the
  first real embed() converges correctly either way; a failed warm narrates
  loudly instead of surfacing as a silent latency spike or an unhandled
  rejection. eagerEmbeddings: false still means no warm at all.

- FileSystemStorage.init() batches its ~8 independent bootstrap mkdirs
  (each creates its own full subtree via recursive:true, so none depend on
  the others existing) into one Promise.all. The restore-completion step
  and initializeCounts() stay strictly sequential — they have real order
  dependencies on rootDir and systemDir respectively.

- performInit() now times five phases (storage init / generation-store
  open+fold / index init+gate / VFS bootstrap / embedding-warm-started) and
  logs one warning with the per-phase breakdown when total open exceeds
  2000ms; silent otherwise.

f8f64780b1 feat(health): the gate reads the named report — reads refuse loudly, never rebuild; open serves before it returns; the ceremony door

The read gate stops consulting the unnamed isReady() boolean: every provider
may expose healthReport() (sync, O(1), composed from exact ledgers —
HealthReport with a monotonic generation, per-invariant source
ledger|deep|unledgered, missing {count, sample}), and one readiness
authority (assessProviderHealth) derives the verdict. Unledgered families
are UNKNOWN — never healthy, never broken; a report that throws is a loud
not-ready, never a shrug. Reads at the four index choke points refuse with
the typed NotReady errors, narrated once per (provider, generation) — a
read NEVER starts a store walk:

- the first-read lazy build retires (open builds instead, regardless of
  size — the ≥10k deferral and the "lazy loading on first query" branch go;
  disableAutoRebuild is re-meant honestly in its docs);
- the verify*Live read-path rebuild triggers retire (refuse-or-serve);
- the read-time consistency probe that could launch a dark rebuild from an
  ordinary find() retires;
- repairIndex({ rebuild: ['metadata'|'graph'|'vector'] | 'all' }) is the
  one explicit door: rebuilds the named leg unconditionally and reports
  rebuilt per family; bare repairIndex() stays report-driven.

test(lifecycle): the biography lane — a store's whole life, refereed

tests/lifecycle/: an independent shadow model referees every read after
every chapter (founding, a working day, clean restart, crash, repair,
second life). Chapters 1-3 green. Chapters 4-6 assert the true contract and
are marked .fails as a release-blocking finding (the kill-matrix
convention): after a crash + adopt reopen the metadata index computes its
'catchup' watermark verdict and nothing consumes it — find() serves the
pre-crash index while canonical and counts recover. The catchup wiring is
the cure; a passing .fails will force the marker's removal. The lane runs
in the integration gate (config + coverage guard).

116550eb16 fix(health): one contract for a throwing probe — heal is none, serving is not withheld; repair report gains missing/rebuilt/reason
Some checks are pending
CI / Node 22 (push) Waiting to run
CI / Node 24 (push) Waiting to run
CI / Integration + conformance (Node 22) (push) Waiting to run
CI / Bun (latest) (push) Waiting to run
A validateInvariants() that threw was re-synthesized by the host's catch as
heal:'rebuild' with serving:false — a rebuild lever one transient exception
away, while the native provider's own composer reports the same event as
heal:'none'. Two components disagreeing on what a thrown check means is how
a flaky probe becomes an outage. Both now agree: the report is named
('validate-invariants-threw'), loud (healthy:false, the error in detail),
unverified — and it never buys a rebuild and never withholds serving; the
provider's serving verdict is the provider's to compose, not inferred from a
probe that failed to run. The synthesized report also carries the provider's
name instead of 'unknown'.

RepairFamilyReport gains `missing: {count, sample}` (an exact count plus a
capped id sample — a verdict, not a dump), `rebuilt` (a full generational
rebuild ran, as opposed to an incremental heal) and `reason`, aligning the
receipt's shape with the provider-side health report.

Pinned in tests/unit/validate-invariants-delegation.test.ts.

repairIndex() now returns a RepairReport: one row per repair family
(orphaned containers, count rollups, VFS containment, metadata corruption,
write quarantine, each provider's invariant pass, degraded-read state) with
checked / healed counts and an explicit skip reason for anything not run —
no silent rows. A summary line narrates families checked and heals applied.

This is the receipts half of the graph-trust program's ask: a repair that
cannot show its work per store is a repair nobody can audit. Pinned: a
healthy store yields a complete zero-heal receipt with every family
accounted; a manufactured pre-8.3.1 ghost container appears in the receipt
as a counted heal. Additive: void-callers are unaffected.

214c98b4d5 feat(log): log authority is the fleet default — adopt-at-open, oracle-gated; plus the power-cut throw-site cures and the loud torn-record contract

THE DEFAULT FLIP (ruled on proven evidence — at-ack survived 301/301
acked-writes-through-power-cut in block-layer fault injection; deferred
tree authority demonstrably loses flush-covered acks): a brain with NO
stored authority artifact now ADOPTS LOG AUTHORITY AT OPEN. The oracle
gates the flip exactly as the guarded adoption path always did — curable
divergences baseline-backfilled, the flip lands ONLY on a green verdict —
and a brain that cannot verify STAYS tree-authoritative loudly, with the
refusal recorded on the switch artifact so subsequent opens are cheap.
config logAuthority: 'defer' is the explicit documented opt-out (no
automatic adoption; declared flush-window loss; adoptLogAuthority() flips
later). A stored artifact always wins. RELEASES.md carries the posture.

Two standing .fails debt pins FLIP TO HOLDING under the default: the
at-ack crash-survival gap and the ack-at-log durability target — both now
permanent asserted truths, not aspirations.

POWER-CUT THROW SITES (fault-injection findings, brainy-alone config):
- A manifest-listed-but-unloadable column segment QUARANTINES at
  discovery (loud once, counted always, quarantinedSegments() exposed for
  the heal) and the field serves its remaining segments DEGRADED — never
  a raw throw killing every query on the field. Real storage faults still
  propagate untouched.
- Torn generation artifacts (NaN/garbage in manifest or counter) DISCARD
  with narration at the store's open and recovery re-derives — plus a
  defensive finite-integer guard at the init consumer. Never a RangeError
  killing an open.

THE LOUD TORN-RECORD CONTRACT: an existing-but-unparseable stored record
now surfaces as a typed, counted TornRecordError on every entity-read
surface (including fifteen previously-blind per-item batch catches);
ENOENT stays clean-absent; artifact readers with designed absent-recovery
keep null-tolerance behind the loud floor. Disk corruption can no longer
read as silent data invisibility.

Suite migration: the default's pins inverted deliberately, generation
baselines made relative, quarantine-contract pins rewritten to the ruled
behavior.

- Watermark stamping fans out at flush: all three projections stamped
  with the committed generation before their flushes persist.
- waitForIndexed(path?, {generation, timeoutMs}) — the one honest read
  barrier for write-then-recall consumers; typed timeout error carries
  the pending count and names the gauge; getIndexStatus() gains
  per-projection gauges. awaitPendingEmbeds() unchanged underneath.
- adoptLogAuthority() self-backfills curable divergences (pre-log
  records, witness drift) by identity re-commit before flipping — a
  fresh brain flips clean; log-ahead divergences still refuse loudly.
- The verification oracle gains VERB legs (all four divergence classes;
  unwired = honest verbsChecked: 0, never a scope claim).
- find({where: {}}) match-all serves (was silent-empty, warm AND cold;
  same fix in count/streaming/subgraph seeding); removeMany({where:{}})
  refuses typed — a match-all bulk delete must be explicit.
- Aggregation native envelope stamped via noteSourceGeneration before
  serializeState; the native-blob restore gates through the same
  adoption verdict as caller-side state (the unconditional adopt dies).
- LC8 pinned: a wholesale directory move opens and serves identically
  across all three intelligences, with history traveling.

287384cf1e feat(embedding): MT5 — deferred embedding with durable markers; write acks never wait on a neural net
Some checks failed
CI / Node 22 (push) Has been cancelled
CI / Node 24 (push) Has been cancelled
CI / Bun (latest) (push) Has been cancelled
A3 of the service-class pair (BRAINY-PROD-LATENCY-TRIAD): a VFS file write
ran the embedder synchronously while the caller waited — 5.6s p50 / 21.4s
p95 per small file on a production deployment, the dominant stage of every
capture write.

- add()/update() gain deferEmbedding: the write acks at durability (data +
  metadata persisted, a DURABLE pending marker under
  _system/pending_embeds/<id> written BEFORE the commit — orphan-safe
  direction); the single-flight background worker embeds the CURRENT data
  and swaps the vector in ATOMICALLY (ReplaceInVectorIndex — the row is
  never absent from search; a deferred UPDATE keeps serving the OLD vector,
  stale-beats-absent per the flicker law). Typed refusals: defer+vector,
  defer-without-data.
- CRASH-SAFE: markers are recovered at open by a BOUNDED prefix listing
  (never a store walk) and the worker resumes in the background — a crash
  can delay a vector, never lose one. A wedged embedder trips a LOUD 60s
  hang guard and the worker moves on (marker retained for retry).
- The honest gauges: getIndexStatus().pendingEmbeds + pendingEmbedCount();
  awaitPendingEmbeds() is the eventual-vector-index BARRIER for callers
  and tests that need searchability before proceeding.
- VFS adopts it everywhere a write path could wait on the embedder:
  writeFile (both branches) and directory creation. Pinned in the
  strongest form: writeFile resolves while the embedder HANGS FOREVER.

Pins: deferred-embedding 5/5 (ack law · stale-beats-absent · crash
recovery across sessions · VFS hung-embedder ack · typed refusals).

A4 of the service-class pair (SELF-ENGINE-LIFECYCLE-SPRINT, David-directed:
'why do we need manual flushes at all?'). The production disease: 829
caller-scheduled per-write flushes convoying into 45-66s write walls —
cadence hand-rolled a layer above the only layer that can see dirty-node
counts and IO pressure.

- BrainyConfig.persistence: policy 'auto' (DEFAULT) | 'manual', with
  flushEveryWrites (512) / flushIntervalMs (30s) / flushOnIdleMs (2s)
  triggers. Auto = the engine kicks ONE single-flight BACKGROUND flush at
  a threshold or when the store goes quiet; write acks NEVER await it (a
  hung flush cannot block a write — pinned); a failed background flush is
  LOUD and re-arms the trigger. 'manual' restores caller-owned cadence.
- Triggers wired at both write chokepoints (single-op post-commit +
  transact post-commit); idle timer unref'd; close() tears the timer down
  and drains the flight before its own final flush.
- RECOVERY SEMANTICS documented on the config: canonical records are
  durable per-write regardless of policy — a crash between background
  flushes loses derived state only, which converges at next open (epoch
  machinery + the new incremental aggregation catch-up), bounded by the
  un-flushed window. Never data loss.

Pins: write-count trigger fires one background flush with zero caller
calls · idle trigger · manual never self-flushes · THE ACK LAW (writes
acknowledge under a never-resolving flush). Gates: unit 1917/1917 ·

CI / Bun (latest) (push) Successful in 12m52s
The write side of the law, ruled 2026-08-03: data is either in main space
where developers can use anything, or it is in system.*.

- The reserved-name write door DIES: add/update/relate/updateRelation
  metadata bags accept EVERY name (confidence, type, id, data, level,
  content, ...) as ordinary user fields — indexed, filterable, sortable,
  aggregatable, identical to any other field. The remap/enforce/warn
  machinery, the reservedFieldPolicy config (now a typed init refusal),
  and the compile-time metadata key bans are all removed. The one write
  refusal left: keys spelled 'system.*' (namespace forgery), now enforced
  on all four write doors.
- STORED RECORDS GO NESTED (v2): engine fields top-level, the user bag
  nested verbatim under 'metadata', sealed by a format stamp — by-name
  storage discrimination is unsound once colliders are admitted. Legacy
  flat records stay readable forever through the shape-aware splitters
  (sound for them: the old door refused colliders). Time travel rides the
  same split (generation store snapshots whole records).
- Name-based index exclusions DIE: user frame indexes every name; the
  excludeFields/indexedFields knobs and their silent-[] holes are gone;
  bulk-payload protection is value-shape only, uniform across names.
- Consumer-sweep findings fixed in the same wave: per-type counts read
  the frozen 'system.type' column (addToIndex sort, affinity tracking,
  cold-count rehydration, VFS type bitmaps — legacy 'noun' fallback for
  pre-rebuild reads); resolveHiddenIds addresses 'system.visibility'
  (bare 'visibility' was a silent no-op under the law — VFS/system
  entities leaked into default reads).
- Fidelity fallout fixed in the owning layers: readEntityFieldAddress
  reads the bag first (colliders were absent-shadowed by its own guard)
  and never serves system addresses from the bag; blob history refs read
  the bag shape-aware; migration transforms now receive ONE normalized
  view (engine fields + nested bag) regardless of stored era, and stray
  flat-habit keys refuse with the fix in the message.
- THE REOPEN-COLLIDER CONFORMANCE CASE (required before any RC counts as
  gates-green): all ten collider names + plumbing names written as user
  fields, verified verbatim + queryable across live reads, flush+reopen,
  a forced epoch rebuild, and asOf time travel; relation mirror; forgery
  refusals; legacy flat-record compat. 8/8 green.

003e2a74ea fix: transaction timeouts are a typed no-hot-retry contract; engine-side non-retry pinned; dead transaction path removed
A production incident: a native-provider op ground 38-40s inside a transaction,
blew the apply-phase budget, rolled back, and a downstream pipeline hot-retried
the identical operation into a 6-minute CPU storm. Brainy itself never
auto-retried the timeout; the gap was that TransactionTimeoutError only said
"retryable" in prose, with nothing machine-readable for a caller to branch on.

- TransactionTimeoutError gains two typed, always-true fields: retryable
  (a later attempt may succeed once the slowness resolves or the budget is
  raised) and hotRetryUnsafe (an immediate identical retry re-pays the full
  cost that just timed out and can cascade into a CPU storm -- callers must
  latch and back off, never loop). context's existing telemetry fields
  (timeoutMs, operationIndex, elapsedMs, totalOperations, operationName) are
  now documented as the caller's backoff inputs.
- Updated the "retryable" doc-prose sites (transact()'s timeoutMs option,
  transactionBudgetFloorMs, Transaction.execute()'s contract) to point at
  the new fields instead of bare prose.
- Regression pin (tests/unit/transaction/timeout-never-internally-retried.test.ts):
  an execution counter proves the engine never re-drives a timed-out
  operation, through both the single-op engine TransactionManager/Transaction
  drives for every single-record write, and add()'s upsert-race retry loop
  (which must exit on the first TransactionTimeoutError, never treat it like
  the lost-insert-race signal it retries on).
- Removed TransactionManager.executeTransactionWithResult -- zero callers
  anywhere in the codebase.

55b867c998 feat: warm contract (warm/warmOnOpen/provider warm hook), configurable transact budget floor, backend-neutral vector index op names
Three pieces addressing the cold-restart-write incident where a production
deployment's first writes after every restart (33-35s each on a cold page
cache) blew the op-count-scaled transact budget mid-batch: every write is
itself a multi-op transaction, so one cold operation consumed the whole
budget, the gate before the next operation tripped, and the write rolled
back atomically - refused, retried, and refused again until the page cache
warmed passively.

- The budget's start-gating contract is now explicit and pinned: it gates
  STARTING the next operation, never rolling back completed work for
  elapsed time (the shipped schedule since 8.7.0, now stated in contract
  JSDoc, guarded by code for operation 0, and enforced by regression
  tests). The 30s floor is configurable via transactionBudgetFloorMs for
  stores whose cold operations legitimately run long.
- New brain.warm() eagerly loads the vector index, metadata index, and
  graph adjacency so first operations after a cold restart run at
  steady-state cost. Returns a WarmReport with an honest per-surface
  outcome (warmed / probed / unavailable) - never reports a probe as a
  warm. warmOnOpen: true runs it during init(). New optional provider hook
  warm() on the vector and graph plugin contracts.
- Vector-index transaction op classes renamed from the backend-specific
  AddToHNSWOperation / RemoveFromHNSWOperation to backend-neutral
  AddToVectorIndexOperation / RemoveFromVectorIndexOperation, stamping the
  active backend into the emitted op-name string (AddToVectorIndex(js-hnsw)
  vs a native provider's own identity) so journals never misdirect an
  operator toward an index that isn't running.

300d9f2a16 feat: flush() never compacts — history maintenance moves to close() with bounded passes
flush() is durability work: it must cost what the current window's
deltas cost, never what the history backlog costs. Under adaptive
retention the byte budget derives from free memory, so bulk-load
pressure shrank the budget exactly at peak write volume and flush paid
actual reclaim inline — a production deployment measured single writes
blocked 25-191s behind reclaim-on-flush.

- flush() no longer calls autoCompactHistory(); close() is THE
  auto-compaction site (already ran there; now alone).
- Every auto pass is time-bounded (CLOSE_COMPACTION_BUDGET_MS = 5s):
  reclamation is oldest-first, so an early stop is a consistent prefix
  and the next pass resumes. Explicit compactHistory() gains an
  optional timeBudgetMs for caller-chosen maintenance windows.
- Documented trade stated where operators read: a long-lived writer
  that never closes accumulates history until its next explicit
  compactHistory() — predictable writes, explicit maintenance.

Pins: flush-never-reclaims + close-reclaims-durably (db-mvcc), bounded
pass stops-then-resumes as a consistent prefix (generationStore unit).

588267be7f feat: guarded plugin auto-detection — installing @soulcraft/cor is the opt-in
With plugins unset (the default), init() probes for the first-party
accelerator: not installed means plain brainy with zero noise; installed and
healthy means it loads and announces itself; installed but broken (import
failure, invalid shape, failed activation, version mismatch) makes init()
THROW. An installed accelerator never silently vanishes behind the JS engines
- the anti-drift posture of the explicit list, applied to detection.

plugins: []/false stays a true opt-out (no probe); an explicit list keeps its
required-and-loud semantics. The import runs through an importPluginPackage
seam (variable specifier - bundlers cannot static-resolve the optional
package; tests simulate all outcomes without it installed).

Also: when a plugin activates but registers zero native providers (e.g. a
licensing gate declining to engage), the provider summary now warns loudly
instead of leaving every query silently on the JS engines.

Supersedes 8.0.8's explicit-opt-in wording; README/PLUGINS/types now document
the guarded contract. 7 new tests (tests/unit/plugin-autodetect.test.ts).

e420369850 docs: plugins are explicit opt-in — correct the README scale section and plugins config comment
A clean-room install smoke of the published GA pair caught the README telling
scale-up users the native provider is auto-detected. It is not, by design: the
loader (loadPlugins) does no auto-detection — undefined means no plugins, and
only an explicit plugins: ['@soulcraft/cor'] loads the native engine (loud
failure if it can't). The stale comment on the plugins config field in the
public types claimed auto-detection and is corrected to match the loader; one
phrase in the plugin-author guide likewise.

bf4a333f9b docs: rename the native provider to @soulcraft/cor across public docs and JSDoc
The 3.0 native engine ships as @soulcraft/cor (brainy 8.x <-> cor 3.x are a
version-matched pair); the old @soulcraft/cortex package stays on the 2.x/7.x
line. Public docs and .d.ts-visible comments now name the correct package.
Historical 2.x contract references (e.g. the 2.3.1 read-side fallback) keep
the old name deliberately.

1aad1f67de feat(8.0): auto pre-upgrade backup — hard-link snapshot before the 7.x→8.0 migration
David's ask: back up the brain before the one-time upgrade, drop it after. On
open, when the on-disk format is stale (a 7.x→8.0 rebuild will run) and the store
holds data, brainy hard-link-snapshots the brain dir to a sibling
`<brainDir>.migration-backup` BEFORE any provider rebuilds — near-zero cost/space
(shared inodes; the store is immutable-by-rename), instant even at scale. Removed
automatically once the upgrade verifies + stamps the marker; retained on failure
for rollback. Default-on; opt out with `migrationBackup: false`.

- Reuses the existing snapshotToDirectory() hard-link farm via new optional
  adapter methods createMigrationBackup()/removeMigrationBackup() (filesystem
  only — feature-detected; memory + non-fs are a graceful no-op).
- Taken before the native provider inits, so it captures true pre-migration
  state; a prior failed upgrade's backup is reused, not overwritten.
- Best-effort: a backup failure never blocks the upgrade (the migration is itself
  safe — reads canonical, reconstructable, self-heals). Catastrophe-insurance
  against a migration bug, not a data-loss guard or an off-device backup.

4 lifecycle tests (adapter hard-link / reuse / remove-without-touching-live /
empty→null; stale-epoch reopen create+remove; opt-out; memory no-op). Gates:

67bbf69a5c feat(8.0): #18 coordinated migration LOCK — block-and-queue the 7.x→8.0 auto-upgrade
Replaces rc.8's no-freeze deference with an automatic, observable, coordinated
migration LOCK (David's reversal: "unknown/halfway states are more dangerous
than blocking"). While a native provider runs its one-time 7.x→8.0
rebuild-from-canonical (`isMigrating()===true`), brainy blocks/queues data-plane
reads AND writes so no operation ever touches a half-built index — closing the
three seam-map gaps (lost mid-rebuild writes, degraded reads, read-time rebuild).

Mechanism (one choke point):
- awaitMigrationLock() at ensureInitialized() covers all ~40 data-plane methods;
  a non-migrating brain pays one boolean check. Polls isMigrating() at 250ms;
  after migrationWaitTimeoutMs (default 30s) throws a retryable, exported
  MigrationInProgressError. The timeout bounds the CALLER'S WAIT, not the
  migration — the rebuild is unbounded and never interrupted.
- init() awaits the lock before VFS bootstrap + before serving ("not ready until
  upgraded"); a rebuild past the budget surfaces MigrationInProgressError at init
  (raise the budget, or run the offline migrator).

Observability (readiness-probe correct — never gated):
- getIndexStatus() gains `migrating` + `migration` (MigrationProgress); a probe
  maps migrating→HTTP 503+Retry-After, not 500. health()/checkHealth() lock-exempt
  (health() reports a `warn` migration check). stampBrainFormat()/close() are
  ungated so cor can clear the lock — no deadlock.
- Optional provider migrationStatus() is relayed verbatim for a live %.

verifyGraphAdjacencyLive() honors the lock (no self-rebuild mid-migration); the
stamp is still withheld while any provider migrates (cor stamps after verify).

Adversarially verified: fixed a critical init/VFS-bootstrap deadlock, a mixed-
provider busy-spin (dropped the event-driven signal → pure poll), a not-yet-
initialized getIndexStatus crash, and once-per-window log/clock resets. 10 lock
tests (incl. the init-during-migration regression). Gates: typecheck 0, build 0,
test:unit 1753/1753.

a52dba2168 refactor(8.0): API-surface + quality polish from the readiness audit
- find() search-mode: collapsed the two overlapping options to one canonical
  `searchMode: SearchMode` (the redundant `mode` alias was silently ignored on
  the primary find() path while honored on the historical path — a footgun) and
  removed the unwired `explain?` FindParams field (never read by find()).
- Documentation accuracy on the public type surface: entity ids documented as
  UUID v7 (auto) / v5 (natural key), not v4; dropped the stale "Brainy 3.0"
  banners and "backward compatibility" hedging on the fresh-8.0 Result type;
  documented the via/type alias; removed the dead GraphConstraints.bidirectional;
  fixed the no-op `EmbeddedGraphVerb = Omit<GraphVerb,'source'>` to omit the real
  sourceId; corrected the GraphIndexProvider.isInitialized JSDoc; documented
  removeMany's per-chunk generation granularity; JSDoc'd the public VFS surface.
- Honest perf comments in source: removed unmeasured billion-scale figures from
  the LSMTree / graphAdjacencyIndex headers (the JS fallback is in-memory after
  open; native is the scale path).
- Robustness: getVerbMetadata propagates read errors symmetrically with
  getNounMetadata; the find() egress integrity-guard keeps a row when the JS
  matcher doesn't implement an operator the provider already matched on; hardened
  the boundary-no-native CI guard to catch side-effect imports + re-exports.
- Tests: de-theatricalized a relateMany test to assert the real contract; fixed
  a stale Model-B header.

bf0afe8563 refactor(8.0): remove dead, unreachable, and unwired modules
Pre-GA dead-code sweep. A deterministic import-reachability walk from the
package's real entry points (the exports map, the CLI bin, the conversation
surface) found 34 source modules that nothing reachable imports — they
compile and ship as dist output that no consumer or internal path can ever
reach. All were superseded duplicates, abandoned parallel implementations,
or built-but-never-wired features:

  - superseded duplicates of live modules: an older "unified" entry, a
    standalone neural-import variant, a static NLP processor + its matcher,
    a parallel API-types module, a duplicate progress-types module
  - an abandoned import path (orchestrator + entity deduplicator + barrels)
    left behind when ingestion moved to the coordinator
  - unwired feature modules (instance pool, import presets, cached
    embeddings, relationship-confidence scorer) reachable only from tests
  - dead leaf utilities (write buffer, deleted-items index, bounded
    registry, two crypto shims, a cache manager, a structured logger, a
    stale v5 type-migration helper, a browser-only FS type shim) and
    several dead re-export barrels
  - a CLI catalog command wired into no command

Also removed two tests that only exercised deleted modules, repointed two
VFS tests off a deleted barrel onto the implementation module, and deleted
one example that demoed removed features.

Verified: clean build (both tsc passes), unit 1505 + integration 607 green,
and a re-run of the reachability walk reports zero remaining orphans.

82dde92077 feat(8.0): brain.graph.subgraph(query) query→expand fusion (#61)
The subgraph seed selector now accepts not just entity id(s) but a find() result
or a FindParams query — brain.graph.subgraph({ where: { team: 'platform' } },
{ depth: 1 }) runs the query and expands the neighborhood of every match in one
call. Existing id-seeded calls are unchanged.

The win is the native query→expand path: for a metadata-only query, the matched
universe is forwarded to traverse() as an OpaqueIdSet (a roaring Buffer) with NO
id materialization in TypeScript — the find() result never leaves the engine's
representation (the O(1)-crossing the cor 3.0 contract is built around). The
pure-JS path (or any query carrying vector/text/proximity criteria) materializes
the matched ids via find() and seeds the traversal from them, capped at a bounded
default when the caller pins no limit.

- New public `SubgraphSelector<T>` union (id | id[] | Result[] | FindParams).
- find()'s metadata filter-builder extracted to a shared `buildMetadataFilter`
  (reused by the opaque universe producer); behavior unchanged.
- graphSubgraphNative generalized to accept `bigint[] | OpaqueIdSet` seeds.

Tested: JS query→expand + Result[] selector + empty-match in graph-subgraph, and
the native opaque pass-through (Buffer reaches traverse unmaterialized) vs the
find()-materialized bigint[] seeds via the mock provider in graph-native-routing.

632d90aac5 feat(8.0): graph analytics — brain.graph.rank / communities / path
Adds three intent-level graph reads to the `brain.graph` namespace, each
native-dispatched to the optional `@soulcraft/cor` 3.0 graph engine when present
and served from pure-TS kernels otherwise (identical public shapes, default
visibility filter respected on both paths):

- `rank(opts?)` → `{ id, score }[]` descending — importance / centrality.
  TS fallback: PageRank power-iteration with dangling-mass redistribution.
- `communities(opts?)` → `{ groups, count }` — connected grouping. TS fallback:
  union-find weakly-connected components, or iterative Tarjan SCC when
  `{ directed: true }`.
- `path(from, to, opts?)` → `{ nodes, relationships, cost } | null` — best route.
  TS fallback: BFS for fewest hops, Dijkstra (min-heap) for least summed edge
  weight (`by: 'weight'`); on-demand frontier expansion so short paths terminate
  early. `direction` / `type` / `maxDepth` filters apply.

These are intent contracts, not algorithm contracts — the question is the
promise, the algorithm is the engine's choice.

Pure kernels live in src/graph/analyticsFallback.ts (PageRank, connected
components, Tarjan SCC, MinHeap) — unit-tested in isolation. The full surface is
tested end-to-end through the TS fallback, and the native dispatch + int↔uuid
hydration paths are covered by a mock provider in graph-native-routing.

5c3bb2c864 feat(8.0): Model-B per-write generation-stamping + adaptive retention knob
Every write — transact() AND single-op add/update/remove/relate — is now its
own immutable generation (Model-B), so a now() pin always freezes and
asOf/since/diff/history/transactionLog reflect single-ops exactly like
transacts. Closes the Model-A hole where pins did not freeze against single-op
writes.

Generation-stamping:
- GenerationStore.commitSingleOp: a one-operation commitTransaction with
  deferred durability. Wired into add/update/remove/relate/updateRelation/
  unrelate + removeMany (the *Many and VFS paths delegate to these).
- Async group-commit (flushPendingSingleOps): the live write is acknowledged
  immediately; its before-image is buffered in an in-memory pending tier that
  resolveAt/chains/changedBetween/tx-log read like on-disk generations, so the
  synchronous now() freezes with no forced flush. One fsync per window
  (triggers: size / 50ms timer / flush / close / transact / compactHistory).
- Crash recovery is drop-without-restore for group-commit generations (marked
  groupCommit:true): a crash mid-flush discards the partial generation and
  never restores its before-images, which would otherwise revert the
  already-acknowledged live write.
- Init-time infrastructure (the VFS root) is the un-versioned generation-0
  baseline: a fresh brain reports generation()===0 and an empty
  transactionLog(); the first user write is generation 1.
- Historical find()/related() overlay bound is the full reserved watermark
  (generation()), so un-flushed single-op writes are overlaid too.

Retention knob:
- config `history` -> `retention`: 'all' | 'adaptive' |
  { maxGenerations?, maxAge?, maxBytes?, budgetBytes?, autoCompact? }; unset ->
  adaptive (disk/RAM pressure, zero-config). CompactHistoryOptions floors ->
  caps (retainGenerations->maxGenerations, retainMs->maxAge, +maxBytes):
  reclaim oldest-unpinned while ANY cap is exceeded; pins always exempt.
- brain.setRetentionBudget(bytes) drives the adaptive byte budget at runtime
  (a coordinator's fair-share input). Per-generation bytes recorded in each
  delta enable historyBytes() introspection without a storage size API.

Tests: per-write generation resolution, pin freeze vs add/update/remove,
drop-without-restore corruption-trap (fault injector), clean-reopen replay,
maxBytes/maxAge/no-cap reclamation, retention-then-reopen. 107 db/generation/
temporal tests green, tsc clean. Docs (ADR-001, consistency-model, snapshots
guide, api reference, RELEASES) updated to per-write granularity + retention.

c2a84c9d1f feat(8.0): brain.graph.export() + noun-walk cursor + noun visibility hydration
brain.graph.export() streams the WHOLE graph in one O(N+E) pass — node chunks
then edge chunks, async-iterable — the right primitive for visualizing all data
(vs. paging per node). Native snapshot-consistent graphCursor when present, else
a TS cursor walk over nouns + verbs. Building it surfaced two latent noun bugs,
both fixed here (each a correctness win beyond export):

- getNounsWithPagination IGNORED its cursor ('offset-based, cursor planned') —
  the noun mirror of the verb bug fixed in the cursor-pagination commit. Latent
  because the only multi-page consumer (aggregate backfill) uses one big page; a
  small chunkSize needed page 2 and, trusting the returned-but-ignored nextCursor,
  re-fetched page 0 forever (infinite loop). Ported the proven verb cursor:
  opaque cn1:<shard>:<id> token, stable within-shard id order, resume-after,
  O(N) at any chunk size. (Generalized verbIdFromVectorPath → idFromVectorPath.)
- hydrateNounWithMetadata DROPPED 'visibility' (noun mirror of the Fix #1 verb
  hydration bug) — so getNouns-fed visibility filters saw nothing and leaked
  system (VFS root) / internal nodes. Now hydrated.

- New: GraphApi.export + GraphExportOptions (chunkSize, includeInternal/System,
  includeNodes/Edges). hydrateNativeSubgraph extracted + shared by subgraph+export.

Test: graph-export.test.ts — full-graph completeness incl. isolated nodes,
default-hides-internal, node/edge include toggles, chunkSize chunking (the
case that exposed the cursor hang). Full gate green.

8c2b57a488 feat(8.0): brain.graph.subgraph() + native-provider routing
Introduces the brain.graph namespace and its first op, subgraph() — bounded
multi-hop neighborhood extraction returning a hydrated GraphView (nodes with hop
depth + type/subtype, edges as Relations, a truncated flag). The one-call answer
to 'show me everything around this node, N hops out' the graph-viz path needs.

- brain.graph.subgraph(seeds, { depth, direction, type, subtype, includeInternal,
  includeSystem, maxNodes, maxEdges, hydrateNodes }). seeds: id or id[].
- Feature-detect routing: when a GraphAccelerationProvider is registered
  (isGraphAccelerationProvider on the 'graphAcceleration' provider) it routes to
  native traverse() and hydrates the columnar Subgraph (node ints↔ids paired with
  depth position-preserving, edge verb ints → Relations); otherwise a pure-TS BFS
  fallback expands each frontier through the O(degree) related() adjacency.
- Both paths produce the identical GraphView, so CI exercises the shape via the
  fallback; the native path is cross-layer-tested against cor's provider.
- New public types: GraphView, GraphNode, SubgraphOptions, GraphApi (the surface
  grows: export/rank/path/communities follow). isGraphAccelerationProvider guard
  added to plugin.ts.

Test: graph-subgraph.test.ts — depth tracking, direction, type filter, default-
hides-internal, node hydration on/off, maxNodes truncation, multi-seed.

d4de48d004 feat(8.0): related({ node }) — one-call both-direction incident edges
related({ from }) / related({ to }) each return one direction; related({ node })
unions both (every edge where the node is source OR target), deduped, in a single
O(degree) call — the indexed equivalent of merging two related() calls by hand.
The 'all edges on a noun' query the graph-viz path needs.

- RelatedParams.node: mutually exclusive with from/to (throws if combined);
  composes with type/subtype/visibility filters; natural-key ids resolved.
- Implemented as a parallel out-edge (sourceId) + in-edge (targetId) fetch through
  the O(degree) graph-index fast paths, merged + deduped by id (a self-loop appears
  once), sorted for a stable page. Full incidence is the intended O(degree) cost;
  deep offset paging of a very-high-degree node is best-effort (use the native
  edgesForNode / a graph cursor for exhaustive paging).
- db.related() parity: node resolved + honored in relationMatchesParams (matches an
  edge incident in either direction) for the historical/overlay paths.

Test: related-node-bidirectional.test.ts — both directions, equals from∪to, self-loop
dedupe, type-filter composition, default-hides-internal, node+from/to throws.

4cc2088aed feat(8.0): upsert + FindParams.includeVectors + removeMany adaptive chunking
Three additive ergonomics from the API-simplification audit (no behavior change
to existing call sites):

- AddParams.upsert: create-or-update in one call. With a custom id, an existing
  entity is MERGED via the update path (merges metadata, re-embeds changed data,
  bumps _rev, PRESERVES createdAt) instead of the destructive full overwrite a
  plain add() does. Mutually exclusive with ifAbsent (throws if both set);
  ignored when no id is supplied. Wired into add(), addMany (per-item flag
  propagation), and the transact add op (routes to planTxUpdate). Kills the
  get()-then-add() round-trip for idempotent writes.
- FindParams.includeVectors: mirror of GetOptions.includeVectors — find() returns
  stored vectors when set; default stays empty (the perf contract is preserved).
  Honored on both the query and metadata-only where paths, and in db.find().
- removeMany adaptive chunking: replaced the hardcoded chunkSize=10 with
  params.chunkSize ?? storageConfig.maxBatchSize, matching addMany/relateMany —
  one storage-adaptive batch policy across all *Many methods (no thrash on
  high-latency backends).

Tests: tests/unit/brainy/upsert.test.ts (insert/merge/createdAt-preserved/
re-embed/ifAbsent-conflict/no-id/addMany/transact), find-include-vectors.test.ts
(true/default/where-path), batch-operations.test.ts (removeMany >10 items).

54c7c39669 feat(8.0): reserved-field enforcement — reservedFieldPolicy defaults to throw
An untyped (JS) caller that smuggles a Brainy-reserved field (confidence,
weight, subtype, visibility, service, createdBy, noun/verb, data, createdAt,
updatedAt, _rev) inside a write-path metadata bag previously got a silent
remap-or-drop — a class of bug where confidence-evolution writes no-oped for
weeks before being caught on read-back. 8.0 closes this with no silent failures.

- New BrainyConfig.reservedFieldPolicy: 'throw' | 'warn' | 'remap' (default 'throw').
  'throw' rejects the write naming every offending key + its correct write path;
  'warn' remaps with a one-shot per-key warning; 'remap' is the legacy silent path.
- Central enforceReservedPolicy gate wired into all four remap methods (add,
  update, relate, updateRelation) so live calls AND their transact()/with()
  mirrors honor it. Single-source reservedWritePath guidance shared by throw+warn.
- 'warn' now warns for EVERY reserved key (closes the gap where only
  system-managed fields warned). Dead warnDropped* helpers removed.
- Import pipeline migrated to route reserved values (confidence/weight/subtype)
  through dedicated params and strip reserved keys from extractor/customMetadata
  bags via the canonical split*MetadataRecord helpers — imports no longer trip
  the default throw.
- Tests: new reservedFieldPolicy matrix (throw/warn/remap across every write
  path + transact); remap-correctness suite reframed as opt-in 'remap'; shared
  test-factory no longer emits reserved keys in custom metadata.

d02e522a3e feat(8.0): id-normalization (#18) + aggregation min/max delete-safety + RC-safe release
- id-normalization (#18): `brain.newId()` (UUID v7) + v7 default ids; non-UUID string ids are
  transparently normalized to a stable UUID v5 on creation AND every lookup — get/update/remove,
  relate(from,to), related, find({connected}), getMany, removeMany, the transact op-handler, and
  db.with() overlays — with the caller's original key preserved under `_originalId`. The engine only
  ever sees a UUID; real UUIDs pass through untouched. universal/uuid.ts gains v5/v7/isUUID +
  BRAINY_ID_NAMESPACE; new utils/idNormalization.ts (coerceNewEntityId / resolveEntityId).
- aggregation min/max delete-safety: `queryAggregate` no longer leaves a stale min/max after
  deleting the current extreme — min/max now track a value multiset and recompute in-memory (no
  entity scan; that scan was the prior delete-then-hang a consumer reported). Other metrics were
  already exact across deletes. Regression test proves resolve-after-delete + correct new min/max.
- release.sh RC-safe: explicit version arg, prerelease detection (npm `--tag rc` + GitHub
  `--prerelease`), full `test:ci` gate (unit + integration), current-branch push, npm-access
  verification after publish.
- native-engine references point at `@soulcraft/cor` (8.0's partner) in user-facing strings/docs.

606445cd61 feat(8.0): API simplification — remove neural()/Db.search, one storage path key, integration→0
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.

f4dea80176 feat(8.0): visibility field (public/internal/system) on nouns + verbs
Adds a reserved, top-level `visibility` field (mirrors the subtype rollout):
'public' (default, surfaced) | 'internal' (developer app-internal — hidden from
default find/count/stats, opt-in via includeInternal) | 'system' (Brainy
plumbing, library-set only).

Fixes a real leak: the VFS root entity counted in getNounCount() and appeared in
find() (a fresh brain reported 1 entity). It is now visibility:'system' →
excluded from every user-facing surface. Developers also get a first-class
hidden-unless-asked tier (e.g. learned internals vs user-exposed data).

- Reserved (RESERVED_ENTITY_FIELDS / RESERVED_RELATION_FIELDS) — spoof-proof from metadata.
- Threaded through add/relate/update/transact; surfaced top-level on reads.
- Default exclusion in counts (baseStorage), find()/related() (hard candidate
  filter via excludeVisibility — keeps topK/limit correct), and stats;
  includeInternal/includeSystem opt-ins.
- VFS root marked 'system'.

Tests: visibility.test.ts 17/17 (fresh-brain getNounCount()===0, internal hidden
+ opt-in, verb symmetry, top-level surfacing, metadata-spoof rejection). Unit
1431 green; count-synchronization integration now passes (off-by-one fixed).

5096f90fbc fix(8.0): honor top-level storage.path as a rootDirectory alias
`storage: { type: 'filesystem', path: '…' }` is a widely-used, doc-promoted
config shape, but the 8.0 storage refactor dropped top-level `path` from the
root-directory resolution chain — so it was silently ignored and every such
brain wrote to the default `./brainy-data` instead. A consumer upgrading with
`storage: { path: './my-data' }` would have had their data quietly relocated.

Restores `path` as a first-class alias for `rootDirectory` (it already worked
nested under `options.path`; now it works top-level too), adds it to the
StorageOptions / BrainyConfig.storage types, and pins every accepted spelling
(rootDirectory, path, options.rootDirectory, options.path, default) in a unit
test of the resolution chain.

35b9d7ef43 refactor(8.0)!: remove orphaned zero-config subsystem + dead cloud/progressive-init storage vestige
The old config-generation subsystem (src/config/ + autoConfiguration.ts) was
superseded during the 8.0 rework and never wired into init(): it emitted settings
for a partitioning subsystem that no longer exists and probed deleted cloud env
vars. The live zero-config path is inline — recall preset → HNSW knobs, storage
auto-detect, auto persistMode, container-memory-aware cache sizing.

The storage progressive-init / cloud-detection cluster was equally dead after the
cloud adapters were dropped: isCloudStorage() is permanently false (no overriders),
scheduleBackgroundInit/runBackgroundInit were never called (the latter an empty
body), initMode was never assigned, and Brainy.isFullyInitialized()/
awaitBackgroundInit() were always-trivial with zero callers. scheduleCountPersist()
collapses to its only-ever-taken immediate write-through path.

Removed:
- src/config/{index,zeroConfig,storageAutoConfig,modelAutoConfig,sharedConfigManager}.ts
- src/utils/autoConfiguration.ts + the inert BrainyZeroConfig export
- Brainy.isFullyInitialized()/awaitBackgroundInit() (+ BrainyInterface decls)
- InitMode type, isCloudStorage/detectCloudEnvironment/resolveInitMode,
  scheduleBackgroundInit/runBackgroundInit/ensureValidatedForWrite and their state
- Dead cloud env-var probes (K_SERVICE/K_REVISION/AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME/
  FUNCTIONS_TARGET/AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ENVIRONMENT)

Kept (verified live): production-detection logging (environment.ts), container-
memory cache sizing (memoryDetection/paramValidation), on-disk hash bucketing
(sharding.ts).

Docs: scrubbed deleted-subsystem references (JS quantization knobs, cloud/OPFS
adapters, partitioning, old zero-config API) across 14 files; deleted two wholly-
obsolete feature docs (complete-feature-list, v3-features); rewrote
architecture/zero-config for 8.0.

~3,700 LOC removed. Build clean; 1392 unit + 24 db-mvcc green.

00d3203d68 refactor(8.0)!: remove distributed clustering subsystem — inert/orphaned, scale is single-process + native provider
The distributed-clustering subsystem never ran in production: it was inert,
orphaned dead code (faked consensus, stub replication, no live wiring, and it
did not interoperate with the 8.0 Db API). Brainy 8.0 is a single-process
library. Scale is single-process + the optional native provider
(@soulcraft/cortex, on-disk DiskANN to 10B+ vectors) + per-tenant pools +
horizontal read scaling (many reader processes, one writer).

Removed:
- src/distributed/ entirely (coordinator, shardManager, cacheSync,
  readWriteSeparation, queryPlanner, healthMonitor, configManager,
  hashPartitioner, shardMigration, domainDetector, storageDiscovery, http/network
  transports). ReaderMode/HybridMode relocated to src/storage/operationalModes.ts
  (slimmed to the live surface).
- src/types/distributedTypes.ts; config.distributed field + JSDoc;
  coreTypes distributedConfig; memoryStorage distributedConfig persistence.
- DistributedRole enum + src/config/distributedPresets.ts and the orphaned
  src/config/extensibleConfig.ts (config/augmentation registry built on removed
  cloud adapters + distributed presets), plus their src/index.ts re-exports.
- 13 BRAINY_* cluster env vars; the storage setDistributedComponents hook;
  enableDistributedSearch (dead config flag); the metadata partition field;
  the distributed_ reserved key prefix.
- Orphaned src/storage/readOnlyOptimizations.ts (zero importers).
- Tests targeting the subsystem: distributed-demo, distributed-cluster helper,
  distributed-transactions, sharding-transactions.
- Docs: EXTENDING_STORAGE.md (deleted); scrubbed distributed/cluster/Raft/
  shard-manager/multi-node prose from v3-features, enterprise-for-everyone,
  augmentations-actual, complete-feature-list, vfs/README, vfs/ROADMAP,
  vfs/VFS_CORE, capacity-planning, transactions, MIGRATION-V3-TO-V4,
  storage-architecture; reframed scale prose to the 8.0 model.

Kept: src/storage/sharding.ts (local-disk 256-bucket directory sharding via
getShardIdFromUuid — used live by baseStorage, unrelated to clustering);
the multi-process mode: 'reader' | 'writer' roles; semantic/HNSW clustering.

RELEASES.md: added a removed-surfaces row documenting the cut and the 8.0

f8e0079d3f feat(8.0): zero-config finalize + cut JS quantization (config.vector = recall + persistMode) 2026-06-15 10:08:51 -07:00

970e08c466 feat(8.0): reserved-field contract — one canonical location, typed prevention, unified read/write
Brainy-owned field names (noun/verb, subtype, createdAt, updatedAt,
confidence, weight, service, data, createdBy, _rev) now have exactly one
home — top level — enforced by three layers driven from a single source of
truth, src/types/reservedFields.ts (RESERVED_ENTITY_FIELDS /
RESERVED_RELATION_FIELDS, exported):

1. Compile time — AddParams/UpdateParams/RelateParams/UpdateRelationParams
   metadata (and the transact() ops that extend them) reject a literal
   reserved key as a TypeScript error while keeping generic T ergonomics
   (typed bags, untyped brains, index-signature shapes, and a documented
   exemption for T-declared reserved keys). Pinned by @ts-expect-error
   type tests run under vitest typecheck mode on every unit run.

2. Write time — the 7.x update() remap is ported to 8.0 and extended to
   every write path: add/update/relate/updateRelation, their transact()
   mirrors, and db.with() overlays. User-settable fields lift to their
   dedicated param (top-level wins when both are supplied — closes the 7.x
   trap where update({metadata:{confidence}}) silently no-oped), and
   system-managed fields drop with a one-shot warning naming the right
   path. A remapped subtype satisfies subtype-pairing enforcement exactly
   like a top-level one.

3. Read time — every storage combine goes through one canonical hydration
   helper (hydrateNounWithMetadata / hydrateVerbWithMetadata over
   splitNoun/VerbMetadataRecord), so reserved fields surface ONLY top-level
   and entity/relation.metadata carry ONLY custom fields on live reads,
   batch reads, paginated listings, getRelations by source/target, streamed
   verbs, and historical asOf() materialization alike.

Read-path echoes found and fixed (previously the full stored record —
including the verb type key — leaked inside metadata): noun pagination,
verb pagination, getVerbsBySource/ByTarget (adjacency + shard fallback),
getVerbsBySourceBatch (which also dropped subtype/data), and the
filesystem verb stream. getRelations() results now surface
confidence/updatedAt top-level via verbsToRelations, updateRelation() no
longer erases service/createdBy, relate() persists its top-level
confidence/service params, and the dead convertHNSWVerbToGraphVerb echo
path is deleted. Import paths (CLI extract, deduplicator, coordinators,
neural import) write confidence through the dedicated param instead of the
bag. UpdateRelationParams is now exported from the package root.

Documented for consumers in docs/concepts/consistency-model.md ("Reserved
fields") and RELEASES.md. Regression tests ported from the 7.x fix and
extended to the full 8.0 contract (17 runtime tests + 41 type-level
assertions); full unit suite 1427/1427, db-mvcc integration 24/24.

c44678390e feat(8.0): brain.fillSubtypes migration helper + pre-RC1 gap closure
- brain.fillSubtypes(rules): idempotent subtype back-fill for pre-8.0 data.
  One rule per NounType/VerbType (literal default or per-entry function);
  fills only entries still missing a subtype through the public update()/
  updateRelation() paths; returns { scanned, filled, skipped, errors, byType }.
  Full unit suite in tests/unit/brainy/fill-subtypes.test.ts.
- Fix getNouns/getVerbs pagination hasMore (peek one past the window) —
  was permanently false, silently truncating every multi-page walk.
- find({ near }) without near.id now throws a teaching error instead of an
  opaque storage sharding failure; CLI --threshold without --near applies a
  plain score floor.
- CLI init/close audit: every one-shot command init()s, close()s, and exits
  explicitly; delete the unmaintained interactive REPL; replace the cloud-era
  storage subcommands with status/batch-delete; new types/validate commands.
- requireSubtype JSDoc now documents the 8.0 default-on contract; audit()
  recommendation points at fillSubtypes.
- Docs: data-storage-architecture rewritten to the real 8.0 on-disk layout;
  README storage section reflects filesystem+memory and snapshots; eli5 and
  SEMANTIC_VFS /as-of/ semantics corrected; internal tracker IDs and
  .strategy references scrubbed from published files.

e5feae4104 feat(8.0): full query surface at historical generations via ephemeral index materialization
Historical Db values (now()/asOf() pins that history has moved past) now
serve the COMPLETE query surface - vector/hybrid search, graph traversal,
cursor pagination, and aggregation - by materializing ephemeral in-memory
indexes over the exact at-generation record set. The historical-query
throw is gone; NotYetSupportedAtHistoricalGenerationError is deleted.

Materializer (Brainy.materializeAtGeneration):
- Copies the at-G record set (live bytes for ids untouched since the pin,
  immutable before-images otherwise) into a fresh MemoryStorage; a final
  reconciliation pass under the commit mutex makes the copy exact even
  when transactions commit mid-build.
- Opens a read-only Brainy over the copy: init rebuilds the metadata and
  graph-adjacency indexes from the records; the vector index is built by
  inserting every at-G vector (the at-G HNSW graph never existed on disk,
  so there is nothing to restore). Host embedder and aggregate definitions
  are shared - no second model load, aggregates backfill at-G values.
- Cost is the documented contract: O(n at G) time and memory, ONCE per Db
  (handle cached; freed by release(), with a FinalizationRegistry backstop
  that also closes leaked readers). A native VersionedIndexProvider serves
  the same reads from retained segments with no rebuild.

Db routing (src/db/db.ts): metadata-level find()/related() keep the free
record path; index-only dimensions (query/vector/near/connected/cursor/
aggregate/includeRelations/non-metadata modes) route to the cached
materialization; unsupported where-operators on the record path re-route
there too instead of erroring. Speculative with() overlays keep the one
honest boundary - SpeculativeOverlayError (overlay entities carry no
embeddings, so index reads over them would be silently incomplete);
metadata find()/get()/filter related() work on overlays.

UpdateParams.vector contract now honored: an explicit pre-computed vector
applies directly (with dimension validation) in update() and transact
update ops, re-indexing HNSW - previously it was silently ignored unless
data also changed.

GraphAdjacencyIndex: adjacency now derives from the two verb-id LSM trees
filtered through the live-verb tombstone set (entity->entity edge trees
deleted - they carried no verb ids, so removeVerb could never tombstone
them and traversal served stale neighbors forever). Neighbor reads batch-
load live verbs via the unified cache; addVerb seeds the cache.

Proofs (tests/integration/db-mvcc.test.ts, 24 green): historical vector
search finds old vector placement including since-deleted entities;
historical graph traversal walks the old wiring after a rewire; historical
aggregation computes at-G group values; asOf() pins get the same surface;
the materialization builds once per Db and release() closes the ephemeral
reader (it refuses reads afterwards); overlays throw the documented error.
ADR-001 updated to the no-throws historical model.

8f93add705 feat(8.0)!: delete fork/branch/commit/history/versions — superseded by the Db API
The COW version-control surface (fork, branches, checkout, commit,
getHistory/streamHistory, asOfCommit, brain.versions) is gone, along with
its subsystems: src/versioning/, the COW object store (CommitLog,
CommitObject, RefManager, TreeObject), HistoricalStorageAdapter, and the
TypeAwareHNSWIndex path it kept alive. The Db API (now/transact/asOf/
with/persist/restore) is the one versioning model in 8.0.

Survivors and replacements:
- BlobStorage survives (the VFS stores file content through it), relocated
  to src/storage/blobStorage.ts with binaryDataCodec.ts; its adapter
  interface is now BlobStoreAdapter, slimmed to the consumed surface
  (write/read/has/delete/getMetadata + MIME-aware compression policy).
- brain.migrate() backup branches are replaced by persist-before-migrate:
  MigrateOptions.backupTo persists a hard-link snapshot of the current
  generation before any transform runs; MigrationResult.backupPath reports
  it, and brain.restore(path) brings it back wholesale.
- CLI: cow.ts (fork/branch/checkout/history/migrate) is replaced by
  snapshot.ts — snapshot <path>, restore <path>, history (tx-log),
  generation.
- New public read API: brain.transactionLog({limit}) exposes the reified
  tx-log (generation/timestamp/meta, newest first) that backs the CLI
  history command; TxLogEntry is exported.

Tests: superseded suites deleted; fork/commit blocks excised from shared
suites; BlobStorage tests relocated + reworked against the slimmed store;
migration tests now prove the backupTo snapshot/restore round trip; new
transactionLog coverage in db-mvcc.

2427bb7960 feat(8.0): u64 BigInt graph provider contract — punch list a-d,g,h
GraphIndexProvider now speaks BigInt at the boundary (D.2 mirror):
- getNeighbors/getVerbIdsBySource/getVerbIdsByTarget take entity ints and
  return entity/verb ints as bigint[]
- new REQUIRED verbIntsToIds(bigint[]) batch reverse resolver (L.7
  identity-fingerprint design — verb ids are UUIDs by contract, so the
  provider-side interning is losslessly reversible)
- addVerb(verb, sourceInt, targetInt) returns the interned verb int;
  removeVerb(verbId) joins the contract

Coordinator (brainy.ts) owns ALL UUID <-> int conversion: getOrAssign on
writes, getInt on reads (unmapped UUID -> empty result without calling the
provider), getUuid / verbIntsToIds on returns, plus a bounded ~100k-entry
insertion-order warm cache for verb-int -> verb-id pairs fed by addVerb
returns and resolver results. GraphVerb gains derived sourceInt/targetInt
(populated at add time, never persisted). findConnectedSubtype gains a
native fast path that routes single-type single-subtype outgoing BFS
through the provider when available.

JS GraphAdjacencyIndex satisfies the contract while staying string/u32-keyed
internally: entity ints resolve through the shared entity-id mapper (threaded
in by the coordinator on init/fork/checkout), verb ints come from an
in-process append-only interning map re-derived from storage on
rebuild/cold-start. ColumnStoreProvider widens the same way: addEntity/
removeEntity take bigint, sortTopK/filteredSortTopK return bigint[].

relate() now rejects a caller-supplied id with a teaching error — verb ids
are brainy-generated UUIDs by contract in 8.0 (previously a passed id was
silently ignored). No Roaring64 provider-boundary decode site exists yet;
the JS-internal column store stays Roaring32 and the Treemap decoder lands
with the first consumer of provider-returned filter buffers.

Public brain API unchanged. 1413 tests green (+10 new BigInt contract tests).

cb16a39a0c chore(8.0): Phase A + B — purge all @deprecated APIs + cacheManager dead branches
PHASE A — every @deprecated marker resolved (~25 removed)

src/coreTypes.ts
- GraphVerb: dropped the "@deprecated Will be replaced by HNSWVerbWithMetadata"
  note. GraphVerb IS the canonical contract — every public API path speaks
  it. Removed the `source` and `target` legacy alias fields (renamed `from`
  / `to` callers years ago; no consumers remain).
- StorageAdapter: dropped the "@deprecated Use getNouns() with filter" notes
  from `getNounsByNounType`, `getVerbsBySource`, `getVerbsByTarget`,
  `getVerbsByType`. They were never deprecated in spirit — they're useful
  non-paginated convenience wrappers over the paginated `getNouns()` /
  `getVerbs()` surface. Refreshed JSDoc to explain the role.

src/types/graphTypes.ts
- Mirrored the GraphVerb cleanup: dropped `source` + `target` legacy aliases.
  sourceId + targetId are the canonical fields.

src/import/ImportCoordinator.ts
- Deleted the entire DeprecatedImportOptions interface block (130 LOC). It
  was a v3 → v4 migration tool using the `?: never` trick to force
  compile errors on dropped options. Five major versions in, the
  forced-error gate is no longer pulling its weight.

src/triple/TripleIntelligence.ts
- Deleted `TripleIntelligenceEngine = any` alias. No consumers; superseded
  by `TripleIntelligenceSystem`.

src/storage/cow/binaryDataCodec.ts
- Deleted `wrapBinaryData()`. The COW dispatch layer in `baseStorage.ts`
  routes by key-prefix convention; the old guess-by-JSON-parse codec was
  fragile (compressed bytes can accidentally parse as JSON) and unused.

src/storage/baseStorage.ts
- Refreshed JSDoc on `convertHNSWVerbToGraphVerb()` — the method is alive
  and used internally; the deprecation note was stale.

src/embeddings/wasm/AssetLoader.ts → DELETED
- File was @deprecated since model weights moved into the Candle WASM
  bundle. No consumers. Removed from `embeddings/wasm/index.ts` exports.

src/embeddings/wasm/types.ts
- Dropped @deprecated tags on `TokenizerConfig` + `TokenizedInput` — still
  used by `WordPieceTokenizer` (auxiliary tokenization). Deleted
  `InferenceConfig` (truly dead). Updated `embeddings/wasm/index.ts`
  exports.

src/utils/metadataIndex.ts
- Deleted `getIdsForCriteria()` — pure alias for `getIdsForFilter()`, no
  consumers.

src/interfaces/IIndex.ts
- Removed RebuildOptions.lazy (deprecated and unused; lazy mode is auto-
  selected by available-memory detection).

src/hnsw/hnswIndex.ts
- Removed `getNouns()` (returned a full Map; deprecated in favor of
  pagination years ago and no consumers in src/ or tests/).

PHASE B — cacheManager dead StorageType branches

src/storage/cacheManager.ts
- Collapsed the `isRemoteStorage` flag and its 15 dead conditional branches
  spanning calculateOptimalCacheSize() and calculateOptimalBatchSize().
  After dropping cloud adapters in step 7, `coldStorageType` is never S3
  or REMOTE_API; the branches were dead. Cache sizing and batch sizing now
  honor the filesystem-only reality with simpler heuristics.
- Collapsed `detectWarmStorageType()` + `detectColdStorageType()` from
  ~40 LOC of environment-+-availability branching to 2-line returns of
  `StorageType.FILESYSTEM`. Brainy 8.0 ships filesystem + memory only.

NOT YET — Phases C-G in follow-up commits

C: storageAutoConfig.ts + zeroConfig + extensibleConfig + sharedConfigManager
D: TODO/FIXME sweep across src/
E: skipped tests + the parallel-test race condition
F: docs deep clean (BATCHING, augmentations, READMEs)
G: browser support drop (the last 2 @deprecated)

VERIFICATION

- npx tsc --noEmit: clean
- npm test: 1408 / 1409 (same pre-existing race-condition outstanding)

ed75f250ec refactor(8.0): SubtypeRegistry hook + drop multi-hop subtype throw (scaffold steps 11-12)
Two small additions per BRAINY-8.0-SUBTYPE-CONTRACT § C-3 + § C-4.

STEP 11 — SubtypeRegistry declaration-merging hook (§ C-3)

src/types/brainy.types.ts
- New empty `SubtypeRegistry` interface. Consumers extend via TypeScript
  module augmentation to declare per-`(NounType, subtype)` metadata
  shapes. Brainy ships no entries; every entry is a consumer concern.
- Usage pattern documented inline:
    declare module '@soulcraft/brainy' {
      interface SubtypeRegistry {
        'person:employee': { employeeId: string; department: string }
        'document:invoice': { invoiceNumber: string; amount: number }
      }
    }
- Consumers with no entries see no type-level change (metadata stays T = any).

src/index.ts
- Public export of `SubtypeRegistry` as a type so consumers can declare-merge it.

The typed `add<NounType.Person, 'employee'>()` overloads + `brain.fillSubtypes()`
migration helper are NOT in this commit — they require the C-1 runtime
flip to land first (per step 10 deferral). The interface stub ships now
so external consumers can start the declare-merging pattern in their own
code immediately.

STEP 12 — drop the multi-hop subtype throw (§ C-4)

src/brainy.ts
- Deleted the `find({ connected: { subtype, depth > 1 } })` throw that
  7.30.x emitted ("Use depth: 1, or wait for Cortex native traversal").
- Replaced the throw block with an explanatory comment: cortex's D.3
  `findConnectedSubtype` handles the multi-hop case natively;
  open-core JS falls back to per-hop edge enumeration (correct but slow
  past ~10 K reachable edges per source).

Per BRAINY-8.0-RENAME-COORDINATION § G.3.b (cortex-confirmed): the native
graph index is ready for unbounded `depth` from brainy with no rebuild
required, and BFS-with-cycle-guard semantics hold at any depth.

694a31f499 refactor(8.0): drop strictConfig — surface too small to justify the option (scaffold step 9)
Per user direction: after the step-8 simplification reduced
`config.vector` to three knobs (`recall`, `quantization`, `persistMode`),
the `strictConfig` field's only remaining job was warning about
`quantization.bits` being silently ignored on the cortex DiskANN path —
one mismatch case across the entire public surface.

That's not enough surface to justify a declared-but-undelivered config
field. Cleaner to drop it now; if 8.x or 9.0 adds enough provider-knob
mismatch cases to warrant a general-purpose strictness flag, we can add
it back then.

CHANGES

src/types/brainy.types.ts
- Removed BrainyConfig.strictConfig field + its JSDoc block.
- Removed the `strictConfig: 'warn' flags this at init time` reference
  from quantization JSDoc; replaced with a plain "silently ignored on
  DiskANN" note (cortex's B.4 contract still applies).

src/brainy.ts
- normalizeConfig() no longer emits a strictConfig field.

NO-OP scope

Field was declared but had no enforcement logic. Removing it is a pure
type-surface change. No behaviour change.

8e767408d9 refactor(8.0): simplify config.vector to 3 knobs + fold persistMode (scaffold step 8)
Per user direction and BRAINY-8.0-RENAME-COORDINATION § G.2: the
`config.vector.advanced.{hnsw, diskann}` escape-hatch surface was
over-engineered. The 8.0 config surface collapses to **three knobs**:

```
config.vector = {
  recall?: 'fast' | 'balanced' | 'accurate'
  quantization?: { enabled?, bits?: 8 | 4 }
  persistMode?: 'immediate' | 'deferred'
}
```

The algorithm-internal HNSW knobs (`M`, `efConstruction`, `efSearch`,
`ml`) and DiskANN knobs (`pqM`, `searchListSize`, `alpha`, …) are no
longer exposed at the public surface. The `recall` preset covers the
legitimate quality/latency tradeoff; algorithm-internal tuning is
intentionally hidden. If users need it later, we can add it back —
shipping with too few knobs is easier to evolve than shipping with too
many.

CHANGES

src/types/brainy.types.ts
- BrainyConfig.hnswPersistMode (7.x top-level) → BrainyConfig.vector.persistMode.
- BrainyConfig.vector — dropped `advanced.{hnsw, diskann}` sub-block.
- BrainyConfig.vector.quantization — dropped `rerankMultiplier` (hardcoded to 3).
- BrainyConfig.vector — dropped `vectorStorage: 'memory' | 'lazy'`. Brainy
  always keeps vectors resident in 8.0; the lazy-eviction path was a
  cloud-storage optimisation that's no longer needed (cloud adapters are gone).
- JSDoc tightened to reflect the closed-form contract.

src/utils/recallPreset.ts
- resolveJsHnswConfig() signature narrowed: accepts `{ recall? }` only
  (no more `advanced` parameter).

src/brainy.ts
- normalizeConfig() — no longer carries `hnswPersistMode` on the resolved
  config. Dropped the deprecated 'gcs-native' warning, the gcsStorage
  HMAC-key warning, and the lenient storage-pairing block (dead code now
  that cloud adapters are gone).
- resolveHNSWPersistMode() — collapsed to a one-liner:
  `return this.config.vector?.persistMode ?? 'immediate'`. The cloud-vs-local
  smart-default branching is no longer relevant (filesystem is the only
  persistent backend in 8.0).
- setupIndex() — reads quantization fields from config.vector directly;
  rerankMultiplier hardcoded to 3.

NO-OP scope

The recall preset's 'balanced' = brainy 7.x DEFAULT_CONFIG byte-for-byte,
so users who don't set recall get the same behavior. Users who set
config.hnsw.* in 7.x will need to migrate to config.vector.* per the
8.0 release notes; pure 7.x defaults users see no change.

b20666e020 refactor(8.0): final cleanup — drop HnswProvider alias + config.hnsw + 'hnsw' surface (scaffold step 6)
Step 6 of the brainy 8.0 rename scaffolding. Removes every legacy 'hnsw'-
flavoured public name introduced as a compat shim in steps 1-5. The
algorithm-neutral surface is now the only surface.

REMOVED — PHASE A (type aliases)

src/plugin.ts
- Removed `export type HnswProvider = VectorIndexProvider` alias.
- Removed `export type DiskAnnProvider = VectorIndexProvider` alias.

src/index.ts
- Removed `export const HNSWIndex = JsHnswVectorIndex` alias.

src/types/brainy.types.ts
- Removed `BrainyStats.indexHealth.hnsw` field (the new `vector` field
  carries the same boolean).

src/brainy.ts
- `stats()` no longer emits the legacy `hnsw` field on `indexHealth`.

REMOVED — PHASE B (storage adapter rename, 8 adapters)

Repo-wide rename: `saveHNSWData` → `saveVectorIndexData` and
`getHNSWData` → `getVectorIndexData` across:

- src/storage/adapters/baseStorageAdapter.ts (abstract declarations)
- src/storage/adapters/fileSystemStorage.ts
- src/storage/adapters/gcsStorage.ts
- src/storage/adapters/r2Storage.ts
- src/storage/adapters/s3CompatibleStorage.ts
- src/storage/adapters/azureBlobStorage.ts
- src/storage/adapters/opfsStorage.ts
- src/storage/adapters/memoryStorage.ts
- src/storage/adapters/historicalStorageAdapter.ts
- src/brainy.ts (call sites)
- src/hnsw/hnswIndex.ts + src/hnsw/typeAwareHNSWIndex.ts (call sites)

The default-delegation wrappers added in scaffold step 4 are removed
(would have been duplicate declarations after the rename).

REMOVED — PHASE C (cache category 'hnsw')

src/utils/unifiedCache.ts
- Cache-category union narrowed from
    'hnsw' | 'vectors' | 'metadata' | 'embedding' | 'other'
  to
    'vectors' | 'metadata' | 'embedding' | 'other'
- typeAccessCounts, typeSizes, typeCounts, accessRatios, sizeRatios,
  and the fairness-check iterator all drop the 'hnsw' key.
- Per planning § 2.5: pre-8.0 'hnsw' cache entries are an in-memory
  category. Cache is rebuildable; entries naturally don't exist after
  a restart, so no migration path is needed.

src/hnsw/hnswIndex.ts
- 3 cache.set() call sites migrated from category 'hnsw' to 'vectors'.
- Cache key prefix `hnsw:vector:` → `vector:`.
- typeCounts/typeSizes/typeAccessCounts accessor renames
  `.hnsw` → `.vectors`.

tests/unit/utils/unifiedCache-eviction.test.ts
- Test fixtures updated: cache.set(..., 'hnsw', ...) → cache.set(..., 'vectors', ...).
- Stats assertion `stats.typeSizes.hnsw` → `stats.typeSizes.vectors`.

REMOVED — PHASE D (config.hnsw)

src/types/brainy.types.ts
- Removed `BrainyConfig.hnsw` field entirely. The 8.0 surface is
  `BrainyConfig.vector.{recall, quantization, vectorStorage, advanced}`.

src/brainy.ts
- normalizeConfig() no longer emits a `hnsw` field on Required<BrainyConfig>.
- setupIndex() rewired:
  - Reads from `this.config.vector` (not `this.config.hnsw`).
  - Calls `resolveJsHnswConfig(this.config.vector)` to translate the
    `recall` preset into M / efConstruction / efSearch knobs (with
    `advanced.hnsw` overrides winning when supplied).
- Imports `resolveJsHnswConfig` from './utils/recallPreset.js'.

NOT IN THIS COMMIT (deliberately)

- Persisted file path migration `_system/hnsw-*.json` →
  `_system/vector-index-*.json`. Requires dual-read logic on boot
  across 8 storage adapters. Per integration doc lines 531-539:
  "Reader accepts either spelling on load; writer emits the new spelling
  only; brains self-migrate on the next persist after upgrade." This is
  a separate body of work and lands in a follow-up commit before 8.0 GA.
- `config.hnswPersistMode` top-level field is unchanged. It's not in
  the rename inventory; a future commit can fold it into
  `config.vector.persistMode` if desired.
- strictConfig enforcement wiring. The field is accepted by
  normalizeConfig() with default 'warn'; the actual warning emission at
  knob-mismatch sites lands when the config-resolution layer is touched
  for the persisted-path migration.

VERIFICATION

- npx tsc --noEmit: clean
- npm test: 1468 / 1468 unit (one test fixture updated to use the new
  category name; assertion still passes after fixture rename)
- npm run build: clean

The 8.0 PR's user-facing surface is now algorithm-neutral end-to-end:
VectorIndexProvider, config.vector.recall, JsHnswVectorIndex,
saveVectorIndexData, 'vectors' cache category, indexHealth.vector,
strictConfig — all standalone. No legacy 'hnsw' name remains in any
public type or method signature.

3e1ef957bc refactor(8.0): strictConfig + brain.stats() vector field + wireConnectionsCodec feature-detect (scaffold step 5)
Step 5 of the brainy 8.0 rename scaffolding. Three small additions, all
honoring contracts locked in handoff thread BRAINY-8.0-RENAME-COORDINATION:

A. strictConfig: boolean | 'warn'  (§ B.6)

src/types/brainy.types.ts
- New BrainyConfig.strictConfig field. Three tiers:
  - false: no enforcement (knob mismatches silently accepted)
  - 'warn' (8.0 default): one-shot warning per call site listing
    ignored knobs + escape-valve recipe + docs link
  - true: hard error at init()
- Format matches the 7.30.1 teaching-error pattern (problem → escape
  valves → caller location → docs link).
- Applies to ALL provider knob mismatches, not just vector (e.g.
  config.aggregation.x with no aggregation provider).

src/brainy.ts
- normalizeConfig() defaults to 'warn'. Wiring into the actual
  enforcement sites lands in the final cleanup commit alongside the
  removal of legacy knob names.

B. brain.stats().indexHealth.vector  (§ planning § 2.6)

src/types/brainy.types.ts
- BrainyStats.indexHealth gains a new `vector: boolean` field. Existing
  `hnsw: boolean` field marked @deprecated; same boolean, kept as a
  compat alias until the final cleanup.

src/brainy.ts:6272
- Implementation populates both `hnsw` and `vector` from the same
  `vectorHealthy` boolean. Refactored to async IIFE so the graph-size
  await sits cleanly alongside the new field.

C. wireConnectionsCodec feature-detect  (integration doc lines 459-461)

src/brainy.ts:9469-9486
- Added `typeof this.index.setConnectionsCodec === 'function'` guard
  before invoking. Native vector-index providers (DiskANN-style) persist
  the graph as a single mmap'd file with no per-node connection lists
  and have no analogue. Pre-8.0 the wire was unconditional and relied
  on the native wrapper exposing a no-op method; 8.0 makes it
  feature-detected.

NO-OP scope

No behavioural change in scaffolding. brain.stats() now returns both
field names (callers see the new field but the old still works).
strictConfig is defaulted but not yet enforced. wireConnectionsCodec
behaves identically when called against an impl that has the codec
method (the JS HNSW path); guards cleanly against impls that don't.

8f87b35614 refactor(8.0): add config.vector path + 'vectors' cache category (scaffold step 2)
Step 2 of the brainy 8.0 rename scaffolding. Adds the new algorithm-neutral
config surface alongside the legacy config.hnsw path (which becomes a compat
shim removed in the final cleanup commit).

CHANGES

src/utils/recallPreset.ts (NEW)
- DEFAULT_RECALL = 'balanced'
- HNSW_PRESETS table — fast/balanced/accurate → (M, efConstruction, efSearch).
  'balanced' equals brainy 7.x DEFAULT_CONFIG byte-for-byte so a 7.x → 8.0
  upgrade with no explicit recall value is a no-op.
- resolveRecallHnswKnobs(preset) — preset → knobs.
- resolveJsHnswConfig(vectorConfig) — preset first, then `advanced.hnsw` overrides
  win. Explicit knobs always beat the preset.

src/types/brainy.types.ts
- New optional `vector` field on BrainyConfig:
    vector?: {
      recall?: 'fast' | 'balanced' | 'accurate'
      quantization?: { enabled?, bits?: 8 | 4, rerankMultiplier? }
      vectorStorage?: 'memory' | 'lazy'
      advanced?: {
        hnsw?: { M?, efConstruction?, efSearch?, ml? }
        diskann?: { pqM?, pqKsub?, maxDegree?, searchListSize?, alpha?, ... }
      }
    }
- `hnsw` field marked @deprecated with note that it stays as a compat shim
  during the 8.0 rename and is removed in the final cleanup commit.

src/utils/unifiedCache.ts
- Cache-category union widened from
    'hnsw' | 'metadata' | 'embedding' | 'other'
  to
    'hnsw' | 'vectors' | 'metadata' | 'embedding' | 'other'
- 5 union sites + 4 typed-counter maps (typeAccessCounts, checkFairness
  typeSizes/typeCounts/accessRatios/sizeRatios, getStats typeSizes/typeCounts,
  evictType loop) all gained the 'vectors' key with initial value 0.
- The hard-coded fairness-check loop now iterates both keys.
- Final 8.0 cleanup will narrow back to 'vectors' | 'metadata' | 'embedding' | 'other'.

src/brainy.ts (normalizeConfig)
- Adds the new `vector` field to the Required<BrainyConfig> return shape so
  TS compiles. Reads config?.vector ?? undefined as any (same pattern as
  the other optional config fields).

NO-OP scope

No behavioural change. The new config.vector path is silently ignored at
runtime in this commit — wired up in step 4 (storage + index resolution).
Pure surface plumbing. Tests + build green.
