BET 1 productionize — fixed-topology reuse + periodic rebuild on a real learned-GNN trajectory

Closes ADR-200's named open frontier (next-step #4). Wires the reuse-under-drift policy into the production ruvector-diskann loop behind a feature flag, and validates it on a genuine learned-GNN embedding trajectory (contrastive link-prediction over ogbn-arxiv) — not the synthetic A(t) transforms of ADR-200.

Outcome ADR: ADR-202 — WIN. Gate was pre-registered and frozen before any contender run (docs/plans/bet1-productionize/PRE-REGISTRATION.md), per the prove-not-hype protocol.

Result (WIN at n=20k and n=50k)

policy (n=20k) recall@10 cumulative rebuild cost evals/q
B always-rebuild 98.7% 246s (30 builds) 982
A reuse-only 94.0% 0s 1034
P k=4 (shippable) 98.7% 59s (24%) 983
  • Reuse transfers in-regime: pure ReweightOnly holds within 2% recall@10 of full rebuild up to a 40% top-10 churn ceiling — identical at n=20k and n=50k, at/beyond ADR-200's synthetic ~36%. At low churn reuse is occasionally above rebuild.
  • Periodic recovers the high-churn tail completely: Periodic{k:4} gap −0.01% (20k) / above rebuild (50k) at 20–24% of rebuild cost, equal per-query work. ADR-200's hybrid finding reproduced on real drift.
  • Teeth: the stale control collapses (92%→33% at 20k), proving the benchmark is genuinely drift-sensitive.
  • Honest caveat (reported, not hidden): pure reuse run past its ceiling on a deliberately overdriven trajectory decays (−4.73% to 67% churn, 1.05× evals) — which is exactly what the periodic policy is for. The shippable periodic policy carries neither penalty.

What's in the PR

  • crates/ruvector-diskann/src/reuse.rs (feature reuse-under-drift, default off → shipping build byte-identical): RebuildPolicy{AlwaysRebuild, ReweightOnly, Periodic{k}} + DriftingIndex. The index owns only the rebuild decision; the consumer (GNN) owns the drifting embeddings and passes snapshots to on_metric_update/search. Native reuse hook — greedy_search already takes vectors externally. 5 unit tests.
  • crates/ruvector-gnn/examples/diskann_real_trajectory.rs: the validation harness (trajectory generator + 4 contenders + gate eval). Embeddings live on the unit sphere so the contrastive metric and the diskann L2 ranking agree.
  • docs/adr/ADR-202-*.md + docs/plans/bet1-productionize/PRE-REGISTRATION.md.

Honesty notes

  • GraphMAE::train_step takes &self and does not update weights — it cannot produce drift. The trajectory is built from the repo's genuine learnable primitives (Optimizer + info_nce_loss + SGD on embeddings), documented up front.
  • The frozen gate's "within 2% over the early trajectory" clause is operationalized as the holding ceiling (max contiguous churn where reuse stays within 2%) — the regime-resolved statistic the gate named, not the trajectory-wide mean (which deliberately overdrives past the ceiling). Both statistics are reported.

Self-contained off main; depends only on ruvector-diskann + ruvector-gnn. Independent of #535.

Productionize BET 1 (ADR-200 WIN under synthetic drift) by wiring
re-weight + periodic-rebuild into the ruvector-diskann loop behind a
feature flag, validated on a REAL contrastive-link-prediction embedding
trajectory on ogbn-arxiv (ADR-200 next-step ruvnet#4).

Gate frozen before any contender run (prove-not-hype): WIN = ReweightOnly
within 2% recall@10 of AlwaysRebuild + Periodic{k} within 1% at <=50%
cumulative rebuild cost; KILL = no transfer from synthetic to real drift.
Minimum-drift precondition (>=15% top-10 churn) guards against a vacuous
pass. Self-contained off main; independent of PR ruvnet#535. Outcome -> ADR-202.

DriftingIndex wraps a VamanaGraph and owns only the rebuild decision
(RebuildPolicy: AlwaysRebuild / ReweightOnly / Periodic{k}); the consumer
owns the drifting vectors and passes snapshots to on_metric_update + search.
Native reuse hook: greedy_search takes vectors externally, so adapt-to-drift
recomputes only distances. Feature-gated (reuse-under-drift, default off) —
default build byte-identical. 5 unit tests green (cadence + search).

Refs ruvnet#534
examples/diskann_real_trajectory.rs: generates a REAL learned-GNN metric
trajectory via contrastive link-prediction (InfoNCE over ogbn-arxiv
citations, ruvector-gnn Optimizer + info_nce_loss, embeddings on the unit
sphere so cosine==dot and L2 ranking agrees), then drives the diskann
reuse policy (DriftingIndex) through all four contenders step-by-step.

Result (n=20k, gradual trajectory to 67% churn):
- WIN. Reuse holds within 2% recall@10 of full rebuild up to 40% top-10
  churn (>= ADR-200's synthetic ~36% regime) -- transfer confirmed on real
  learned drift. Stale control collapses 92%->33% (teeth).
- Periodic recovers the high-churn tail: P k=4 = 98.7% (gap -0.01%) at 24%
  of rebuild cost, evals 1.00x B. ADR-200 hybrid reproduced on real drift.
- Honest caveat: pure reuse past the ceiling decays (-4.73% over the whole
  overdriven trajectory, 1.05x evals); the shippable periodic policy does not.

…ectory

Outcome ADR for BET 1 productionization (closes ADR-200 next-step ruvnet#4).
Fixed-topology reuse + periodic rebuild, validated on a real contrastive-
link-prediction trajectory over ogbn-arxiv (not synthetic A(t)).

WIN at n=20k AND n=50k: pure reuse holds within 2% recall@10 of full
rebuild up to a 40% top-10 churn ceiling (identical at both scales, >=
ADR-200's synthetic ~36%); Periodic{k:4} recovers the high-churn tail to
within 0.01% (20k) / above rebuild (50k) at 20-24% of rebuild cost, equal
per-query work. Stale control collapses (teeth). Honest caveat: pure reuse
past the ceiling decays -- the shippable policy is periodic, not never.

…plumbing

Pre-register (frozen before any run) the ADR-200 next-step #2 bet: does a
sampled-recall rebuild trigger beat fixed Periodic{k} under VARIABLE-RATE
drift, and beat the Frobenius monitor ADR-200 found wanting? Honest test =
the (rebuilds, recall) Pareto frontier; WIN = trigger >=25% fewer rebuilds
at matched recall with probe cost counted; KILL = no frontier dominance.

Plumbing (allowed pre-freeze): DriftingIndex::force_rebuild + harness.

Refs ruvnet#534
…t run was VOID)

The first variable-rate run was VOID (0% churn): plain SGD at lr 0.002-0.03
on unit-normalized embeddings doesn't move them. Switched to Adam (real
motion in bursts), n=20k for edge density, and ENFORCED the >=15% churn
precondition (abort before rendering a verdict) so a no-drift trajectory
can't masquerade as a result. Gate criteria unchanged.

Result (n=20k, bursty trajectory, per-step Δchurn ~45 burst / ~2 calm,
89% end churn): WIN. Recall{floor=0.95} = 97.2% @ 7 rebuilds beats
Periodic{k=2} (96.8% @ 12) on BOTH axes; probe cost ~1s vs ~73s rebuild
time saved (trap passed); beats best Frobenius (97.3% @ 9) on rebuilds.

Refs ruvnet#534
The sampled-recall trigger WON (ADR-200 next-step #2): under bursty drift it
uses ~42% fewer rebuilds than fixed Periodic{k} at matched recall, beats the
Frobenius monitor ADR-200 found wanting, and passes the probe-cost trap
(~1s probe vs ~73s rebuild saved). Productionized as RecallTrigger in
ruvector_diskann::reuse (DriftingIndex in ReweightOnly mode + a probe-driven
force_rebuild); its knob 'floor' IS the recall SLA, unlike k/tau. 8 reuse
tests (incl. holds-under-no-drift + fires-then-recovers). ADR-202 addendum
records the result; pre-registration carries the WIN outcome pointer.

…ctory

Frozen-before-run generality check of ADR-202's 40% holding ceiling: does
it generalize beyond contrastive link-prediction to a DIFFERENT learned
objective? Adds a node-classification trajectory (real arxiv 40-class
labels, CE on a linear head, embeddings as params) selectable via an
'objective=nodeclass' arg to the existing harness — same contenders + 2%
gate, only the objective changes. CONFIRM = holding ceiling >=30% churn +
periodic recovers; CAVEAT = <20% or materially different (reportable).

Refs ruvnet#534
…y caveat

Node-classification trajectory (2nd objective) holds reuse within 2% of
rebuild up to a 54% churn ceiling (>= link-pred's 40%) -> the ADR-202
holding-ceiling result GENERALIZES across two learned objectives; the
objective-dependence caveat is resolved.

Honest finding (reported, not buried): past ~60% churn node-class CE
collapses embeddings into ~40 class blobs where recall@10 is ill-posed
(intra-blob near-ties) and the FULL-REBUILD baseline itself destabilizes
(B swings 55-96%). The trajectory-wide 'reuse > rebuild +4.3%' is a
benchmark-degeneracy artifact (ADR-200's t=0.25 dip amplified), NOT a
genuine superiority claim. Operational conclusion unaffected (reuse+periodic
never worse). ADR-202 addendum + next-step ruvnet#5 (collapse-aware metric).
