Brainy's planner emits a single UpdateInMetadataIndexOperation / UpdateVerbInGraphIndexOperation when the registered provider announces the `update-op` capability (capabilities has 'update-op' AND the method exists — both halves), and the legacy remove+add pair otherwise. A provider whose capability set claims what the instance lacks is refused at registration with a typed ProviderCapabilityMismatchError — never a silent fallback. - MetadataIndexProvider.updateIndex(id, before, after, generation?) and GraphIndexProvider.updateVerb(id, before, after, generation) — optional, rollback symmetric by construction (update(a,b) undone by update(b,a)). - Emission at update(), planTxUpdate() and updateRelation()'s graph leg. - transact() gains op:'updateRelation' (TxUpdateRelationOperation), born batchable; updateRelation()'s record build is shared with the planner. - Both paths live for one overlap release; the pair path retires with the provider-side compensation layer in the following cut. Pinned in tests/integration/update-op-emission.test.ts (7 pins). |

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
})
