…nchanged DocumentIndexWriter.updateIndexEntry treated an index as affected whenever the update document carried the indexed field, and then removed and rewrote the entry. An update that writes the whole document back, the common upsert shape, carries every indexed field with its old value, so every index was rewritten on every update for nothing. On the pre-4.4.0 list layout that was a copy of the whole per-key id list twice per index per write. The writer now compares the old and new values of each affected index, deeply so arrays and embedded values count as equal when their contents are, and skips the index when they match. A dirty index is not skipped: its rebuild still has to happen on the first write, so that path is unchanged. Tests cover the unchanged value, an array with equal contents, a changed value, and the dirty-index rebuild with an unchanged value. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change avoids redundant index rewrites for unchanged values while retaining dirty-index rebuilds. Embedded document values are part of the new comparison behavior but are not directly covered by a regression test, leaving a bounded merge-readiness risk. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Add a test for equal-content embedded values.
sameIndexedValues now handles embedded values, but the new tests cover only scalar and array values. Add an embedded Document case that asserts index removal and writing are skipped when its contents are equal.
As per coding guidelines, **/*Test.java: Write unit tests for new features.

* fix: port three index and catalog fixes from nitrite-java - A unique index no longer rejects a document over a key that document already holds. addNitriteIds treated any existing id under the key as a violation, so it counted the writer's own id against it: a unique index over an array field with a repeated element (['a', 'b', 'a']) collided with the entry it had just written, and so did an index rebuild or a replayed write. Another document under the key is still a violation. (nitrite/nitrite-java#1295) - An update that leaves an indexed value unchanged no longer rewrites the index. "Affected" only meant the update carried the field, and an upsert that writes the whole document back carries every indexed field with its old value, so every index was rebuilt on every update for nothing. A dirty index is still rebuilt. (nitrite/nitrite-java#1297) - MapMetaData copies the stored name set instead of adopting it. cast<String>() returns a view onto the set held in the catalog document, so mapNames.add() edited the stored set in place, before the write meant to record it. (nitrite/nitrite-java#1296) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: getById hands out a copy, not the stored instance The in-memory store returns the very Document it holds, so a caller's doc.put(...) on a getById result edited the store directly and bypassed every index. find() already copied, through ProcessedDocumentStream. getById now clones as the cursor does, and returns null for an unknown id instead of putting null through the processor chain.

DocumentIndexWriter.updateIndexEntry treated an index as affected whenever the update document carried the indexed field, and then removed and rewrote the entry. An update that writes the whole document back, the common upsert shape, carries every indexed field with its old value, so every index was rewritten on every update for nothing. On the pre-4.4.0 list layout that was a copy of the whole per-key id list twice per index per write.
The writer now compares the old and new values of each affected index, deeply so arrays and embedded values count as equal when their contents are, and skips the index when they match. A dirty index is not skipped: its rebuild still has to happen on the first write, so that path is unchanged.
Tests cover the unchanged value, an array with equal contents, a changed value, and the dirty-index rebuild with an unchanged value.
