ruvector-hailo backend v0.2.0 (iter 227)

Choose a tag to compare

Branch hailo-backend snapshot at iter 227. NPU acceleration is the production default since iter 163.

Performance (cognitum-v0, Pi 5 + AI HAT+, c=4 b=1)

Metric Value
Throughput ~70 embeds/sec/worker
p50 latency 55-57 ms
p99 latency 86-90 ms (best clean runs)
vs cpu-fallback 9.6×
NPU-bound ceiling confirmed at ~70.6/sec (iter-179 saturation sweep)

Two arcs since v0.1.0-iter156b

Arc 1 — Security / hardening (iters 174-213)

Eight-layer DoS gate stack on the gRPC worker, all env-tunable:

Iter Gate Default
180 RUVECTOR_MAX_REQUEST_BYTES 64 KB
181 RUVECTOR_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS 256
182 RUVECTOR_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_SECS 30
183 CVE-2023-44487 rapid-reset cap 32
184 RUVECTOR_HTTP2_KEEPALIVE_SECS 60
190 RUVECTOR_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES 16 KB
199 RUVECTOR_MAX_BATCH_SIZE 256
200 Per-item rate-limit debit on streams per-item

Plus iter-174 HEF sha256 pin, iter-185 shutdown SEGV fix (5/5 SEGV → 10/10 clean), iter-191 HailoRT FFI 2s timeout, iter-209 retry short-circuit on terminal errors, iters 210-213 OOM-bounded operator-path file reads, iters 187-189 client TLS flag plumbing.

Arc 2 — ADR-178 integration gap analysis (iters 215-227)

Goal-planner agent produced ADR-178 (459 lines) identifying 8 gaps; 6 closed:

Gap Severity Iter Status
A HIGH 215 ✅ ruvllm-bridge deploy artifacts
B HIGH 218 + 219 EmbeddingProvider impl + workspace rejoin
C MEDIUM 220 ✅ short-term (csi-bridge docs disambiguation)
D MEDIUM 221 ✅ short-term (hailo-cluster-as-provider example)
E MEDIUM 219 ✅ folded into B
F MEDIUM 217 ✅ ADR-167 stale stratigraphy collapsed
G LOW hardware-bound (Pi 4)
H LOW 216 ✅ install-bridge.sh → install-mmwave-bridge.sh

Plus three iter-219 follow-up side effects all caught + fixed (iters 224, 226, 227).

Verification

  • cargo build --workspace --release: clean (3m49s)
  • cargo check --workspace: clean
  • Cluster lib + integration tests --features tls --test-threads=1: 23 suites, all green; 120 lib tests
  • hailo lib tests: 21 default + 22 cpu-fallback + 7 tokenizer pass
  • cargo deny check on both hailo crates: advisories/bans/licenses/sources OK
  • cargo audit --deny warnings with iter-224 ignores: exit 0
  • Pi cognitum-v0 deployed + bit-identical embed verified
    (vec_head=0.0181,-0.0220,0.0451,0.0159 unchanged)
