Fixed critical bug where getRelations() returned empty array despite relationships existing. The bug affected ALL 8 storage adapters when called without filters.
Root Cause:
- getVerbs() called getVerbsWithPagination() without passing offset parameter
- offset was undefined → targetCount = undefined + limit = NaN
- Loop condition (collectedVerbs.length < NaN) = false → loop never ran
The Fix:
- Default offset to 0 in getNounsWithPagination() and getVerbsWithPagination()
- Add conditional optimization: only skip empty types if counts are reliable
- Preserves all billion-scale optimizations (type skipping, early termination, bounded memory)
Impact:
- Fixes Workshop bug report: 1,141 relationships exist but getRelations() returned []
- Fixes all fresh Brainy instances (MemoryStorage, FileSystemStorage, etc.)
- No performance degradation - optimizations now work as designed
Test Results:
- MemoryStorage: getRelations() returns correct results ✅
- FileSystemStorage: getRelations() returns correct results ✅
- Type skipping verified: checked 1 type, skipped 126 empty types ✅
- Early termination verified: stopped at limit ✅
Closes: Workshop team bug report (getRelations returns empty array)
