Subject: [PATCH 01/10] feat(rulake-phase-0): pre-partition bridge + scaffold 7
ELI15 chapter stubs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Foundations for the RuLake-inspired feature roadmap
(docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md). Phase 0 is deliberately
boring: define shared shapes + cut extension points so the four
Phase 1 swarm tasks never fight over ruvectorBridge.js.
What this ships:
- archive/snapshot.js — ArchiveSnapshot v1 shape + validateSnapshot()
- archive/hash.js — xxHash32 over Float32Array brains; 8-char hex ID
- ruvectorBridge.js — exportSnapshot / importSnapshot /
setConsistencyMode / getConsistencyMode / getIndexStats. Stubs
throw 'not implemented' with owning-phase labels; importSnapshot
already validates at the boundary so callers can test wiring.
- eli15/chapters/*.js — 7 placeholder chapters (warm-restart,
quantization, consistency-modes, content-addressing, federation,
cross-tab-federation, where-the-time-goes), each with comingSoon:
true and a real ELI15 hook.
- eli15/index.js — registry entries for the 7 new chapters.
What this deliberately does not do: no behaviour change, no new
feature. The bridge imports validateSnapshot at module scope but
doesn't call it at boot; chapters are lazy-loaded.
Validated via agent-browser: app boots cleanly with no new console
errors, all 7 chapter IDs returned by ELI15.listChapters(), two
chapters rendered end-to-end, stub contracts (5 exports, correct
error messages, consistency default = 'fresh'), hash determinism +
1-ppm sensitivity.

+# RuLake-inspired feature roadmap for VectorVroom
+
+Plan date: 2026-04-24. Author-facing; consumed by `/ship-task` one
+phase at a time. Each phase is a shippable unit with a confidence gate
+and an ELI15 chapter. Phases are ordered by dependency; inside a phase,
+tasks are marked **Parallel-safe** when they can be delegated to
+independent subagents, or **Sequential** when they touch a shared
+surface (`ruvectorBridge.js`, `eli15/tour.js`, the SONA engine).
+
+The source of ideas is [ruvnet/RuLake](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuLake)
+— a cache layer over vector search. We are **not** adopting RuLake as a
+dependency. We are porting a subset of its ideas as user-visible,
+teachable features that fit VectorVroom's existing stack (vendored
+ruvector WASM + IndexedDB + the ELI15 tour).
+
+## Status tracker
+
+**Legend:** ⬜ todo · 🟡 in progress · ✅ done · 🚫 blocked · ⏸ deferred
+
+**How to update:** when starting a task flip its box to 🟡 and add your
+name; when finishing, flip to ✅ and add the date (YYYY-MM-DD) and the
+PR/commit SHA. When blocked, flip to 🚫 and add a one-line reason
+pointing to the blocker. Keep the "Current focus" line at the top
+pointing at whichever phase is active so a newcomer knows where to
+jump in without reading the whole doc.
+
+**Current focus:** Phase 1 — parallel feature implementations (ready to swarm)
+**Last updated:** 2026-04-24
+
+### Phase 0 — Foundations _(sequential, 1 owner)_

+that future-you would want to find. Newest at the top.
+
+- **2026-04-24 — Phase 0 closed.** 0.4 shipped 7 stubs (not 6 as the
+ tracker originally said) — the plan body referenced 7 distinct chapter
+ files, so the original "6" was a typo. Tracker + task description now
+ reconciled. `exportSnapshot` / `importSnapshot` / `setConsistencyMode`
+ / `getIndexStats` are stubs that throw `not implemented` with a Phase
+ label so swarm workers know which task owns each slot. Browser smoke
+ test via agent-browser confirmed app still boots cleanly (no new
+ console errors) and all 7 chapters render via `ELI15.openChapter()`.
+ SHA column left blank by convention for Phase 0; `git log --grep="Phase
+ 0"` is authoritative.

+
+## Phase 0 — Foundations (sequential, single owner)
+
+One person, one small PR, unblocks everything else. **Do not parallelize.**
+
+### Tasks
+
+- **0.1** Define `ArchiveSnapshot` schema in
+ `AI-Car-Racer/archive/snapshot.js` (new). Single source of truth for the
+ on-disk shape:
+ ```
+ { version: 1,
+ brains: [{ hash, flat, meta, parentIds }],
+ hnsw: { serialized: Uint8Array, params: {...} },
+ consistency: 'fresh'|'eventual'|'frozen',
+ witness: string /* SHA-256 of (brains + hnsw bytes) */ }
+ ```
+- **0.2** Extend `ruvectorBridge.js` with stubbed extension points (no
+ behavior yet): `exportSnapshot()`, `importSnapshot(s)`,
+ `setConsistencyMode(m)`, `getIndexStats()`. Each throws
+ `Error('not implemented')` so swarm tasks can fill them in parallel
+ without merge conflicts.
+- **0.3** Add `archive/hash.js` — one 8-line xxHash32 wrapper over a
+ flattened brain. Used by F3 and F5; having it exist up front removes
+ a cross-task dependency.
+- **0.4** Add a new top-level ELI15 chapter stub for each feature — 7
+ files (`warm-restart`, `quantization`, `consistency-modes`,
+ `content-addressing`, `federation`, `cross-tab-federation`,
+ `where-the-time-goes`). Each is a placeholder `export default { …,
+ comingSoon: true }` registered in `eli15/index.js` so the Phase 1/2/3
+ swarm workers replace the body without having to touch registration.
+
+### Done criteria (confidence ≥95%)
+
+- `npm test` / existing tests still pass.
+- `AI-Car-Racer/index.html` still loads; bridge still functions.
+- A `grep` for `not implemented` shows exactly the four stubs from 0.2.
+
+### Why sequential
+
+All four tasks touch `ruvectorBridge.js`. Doing them as one tiny PR
+makes the downstream swarm phases conflict-free.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Parallel feature implementations (swarm of 4 subagents)
+
+All four tasks are **Parallel-safe** after Phase 0 lands: each owns a
+distinct directory and the shared surface (`ruvectorBridge.js`) was
+pre-partitioned in 0.2. Dispatch via the Agent tool in one message,
+four tool calls in parallel, per the `subagent_swarms` memory.
+
+### 1A — F3: Warm-restart bundles + shareable snapshots
+
+- **Files owned:** `AI-Car-Racer/archive/{snapshot.js,exporter.js,importer.js}`,
+ `brainExport.js` extension, `uiPanels.js` (new Export/Import row), the
+ `exportSnapshot` / `importSnapshot` slots in `ruvectorBridge.js`.
+- **Implementation sketch:**
+ 1. Serialize the HNSW internal state via a new
+ `vendor/ruvector/ruvector_wasm` export (if not available,
+ serialize by replaying insertions in the same deterministic order
+ — this is slow but shippable; note it as a follow-up).
+ 2. Bundle as a single `.vvarchive.json.gz` file.
+ 3. On load, call `importSnapshot` before any GA work begins.
+ 4. UI: `📦 Export archive` and `📥 Import archive` buttons.
+- **ELI15 chapter (`warm-restart.js`):** "A brain archive is a museum.
+ You can save it, reopen it tomorrow, or give the whole museum to a
+ friend." Visual: boot-time bar graph (rebuild vs. restore), plus a
+ file-drop zone that live-previews a bundle's brain count + generation
+ stats before import.
+- **Visible artifact:** boot-time timing pill in the top bar, "restored
+ in 40ms" vs. "rebuilt in 1200ms".
+- **Done criteria:** export → reload → import reproduces byte-identical
+ retrieval results for a fixed query vector (equivalence harness,
+ same style as the P3.B lineage DAG equivalence test).
+
+### 1B — F1: 1-bit quantized archive (RaBitQ + Hadamard)
+
+- **Files owned:** `AI-Car-Racer/quantization/{rabitq.js,hadamard.js,index.js}`
+ (new), `eli15/chapters/quantization.js`, a new viewer at
+ `quantization/viewer.js`, and a narrow slot in `ruvectorBridge.js`
+ that toggles quantized vs. float storage.
+- **Scope call:** implement the quantizer in **pure JS** first, not in
+ Rust/WASM. Browser archives are small enough that JS is fast, and it
+ keeps the plan free of the ruvector upstream patch dance documented
+ in `ruvector-upstream-patches.md`. A WASM rewrite is a later phase.
+- **Implementation sketch:**
+ 1. `hadamard.js`: in-place iterative Fast Walsh-Hadamard transform
+ (O(D log D)), padded to the next power of 2.
+ 2. `rabitq.js`: rotate → take sign bits → pack into `Uint32Array`.
+ Hamming distance via `popcount` from XOR.
+ 3. Keep a small float residual per vector (16 floats, say) for a
+ rerank stage. Returned neighbours are 1-bit-ranked then
+ float-reranked.
+- **ELI15 chapter:** side-by-side heatmap (full float vs. 1-bit), a
+ scatter plot of `true distance vs. quantized distance` that fills in
+ live as brains arrive, and a memory meter showing the compression
+ ratio (~32×).
+- **Visible artifact:** toggle in the training panel: `Quantized
+ archive (32× smaller)` on/off. When on, the archive-size readout
+ drops visibly.
+- **Done criteria:** recall@10 vs. float baseline ≥ 0.9 on the current
+ archive for a fixed query set (cross-track-variance memory applies:
+ n=6+ across ≥2 sessions before we claim numbers). Hyperbolic path is
+ explicitly untouched — document that limitation in the chapter.
+
+### 1C — F4: Consistency modes
+
+- **Files owned:** `AI-Car-Racer/consistency/mode.js` (new), the
+ `setConsistencyMode` slot in `ruvectorBridge.js`, `uiPanels.js`
+ additions for the radio row, `sim-worker.js` hook for the A/B
+ baseline worker.
+- **Implementation sketch:**
+ 1. Three modes backed by a single integer flag read by the bridge's
+ query path:
+ - `fresh`: re-query every generation (current behavior).
+ - `eventual`: TTL cache; re-query every N generations (default 10).
+ - `frozen`: pin the archive snapshot at mode-entry time; no
+ re-queries until the user unfreezes.
+ 2. A/B mode fix: the baseline worker **must** start in `frozen` and
+ inherit the primary's pinned snapshot. This is the principled fix
+ for the race that commit `4c2527b` patched.
+- **ELI15 chapter:** a timeline strip under the radio row showing
+ ticks where the archive is actually re-queried. Under Frozen the
+ ticks stop; under Eventual they're periodic; under Fresh they fire
+ every generation.
+- **Done criteria:** A/B equivalence harness — with `frozen` mode the
+ baseline worker's per-generation fitness series is deterministic
+ across reruns (same RNG seed).
+
+### 1D — F5: Content-addressed dedup + hash-keyed lineage
+
+- **Files owned:** `AI-Car-Racer/archive/dedup.js` (new),
+ `lineage/dag.js` additions (hash as canonical ID), `brainExport.js`.
+- **Implementation sketch:**
+ 1. On insertion, compute `hash(flat(brain))` via `archive/hash.js`.
+ 2. If the hash is already in the archive, short-circuit — increment
+ a `duplicateCount` instead.
+ 3. Lineage DAG keys by hash; `parentIds` becomes a fallback only used
+ when a hash isn't available (legacy imports).
+- **ELI15 chapter:** DAG viewer grows a dedup badge on collided nodes;
+ a "% duplicates" stat pill in the training panel.
+- **Done criteria:** importing the same archive twice is a no-op
+ (archive size + generation count unchanged after the second import).
+
+### Swarm dispatch notes
+
+- Each subagent gets the plan URL and the names of *only its own files*
+ to avoid context bleed. Prompts should include the memory on
+ local-vs-external scope (these are all local-only tasks) and the
+ cross-track-variance discipline for anything that makes a quality
+ claim.
+- `/ship-task` is invoked **per subagent** inside Phase 1; the swarm
+ doesn't replace /ship-task's confidence gate, it runs it four times
+ in parallel.
+
+### Phase 1 merge order
+
+Each subagent lands its own PR. Recommended order of review:
+0.1 foundations already landed → 1D (smallest surface) → 1C → 1A → 1B
+(largest surface, so it benefits from rebasing onto the other three).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Integration (sequential)
+
+Two tasks, sequential because each depends on Phase 1 outputs.
+
+### 2A — F2: Federated search (Euclidean + Hyperbolic with GNN rerank)
+
+**Depends on:** F1 (quantized Euclidean path) for the speed needed to
+query both indexes without a user-visible stall.
+
+- **Files owned:** `AI-Car-Racer/federation/{fanout.js,rerank.js}`
+ (new), `ruvectorBridge.js` query-path branch, `gnnReranker.js`
+ integration, `eli15/chapters/federation.js`, a split-screen viewer.
+- **Implementation sketch:**
+ 1. Query both `VectorDB` and `HyperbolicVectorDB` in parallel
+ (Promise.all — both are WASM, both are fast).
+ 2. Per-shard over-request: `k' = k + ⌈√(k · ln S)⌉` with S=2.
+ 3. Union results; dedupe by hash (F5 wired up for free).
+ 4. GNN rerank (existing `gnnReranker.js`) produces the final ranking.
+- **ELI15 chapter:** split-screen animation — left graph, right graph,
+ candidate flows merging into a central rerank box. The formula `k' =
+ k + ⌈√(k ln S)⌉` is rendered live with the current k and S.
+- **Done criteria:** recall@10 on a held-out query set is ≥ max(E-only,
+ H-only) across 2 sessions × 6 runs (cross-track-variance memory).
+
+### 2B — F6: Cross-tab live training
+
+**Depends on:** F3 (snapshot format is the wire format between tabs).
+
+- **Files owned:** `AI-Car-Racer/crosstab/channel.js` (new), UI pulse
+ indicator, `eli15/chapters/cross-tab-federation.js`.
+- **Implementation sketch:**
+ 1. `BroadcastChannel('vectorvroom-archive')` per tab.
+ 2. On archive insertion in tab A, broadcast `{ type: 'brain',
+ snapshot-fragment: ... }` using the F3 shape.
+ 3. Other tabs call `importSnapshot` on the fragment (incrementally —
+ not a full archive rebuild).
+ 4. A small connection indicator and a pulse animation on each
+ received brain.
+- **ELI15 chapter:** animated demo of two tab previews side-by-side;
+ explain "shared storage by convention, not by mutex" — no locking,
+ because every brain is content-addressed (F5 wires in here).
+- **Done criteria:** with two tabs open on different tracks,
+ tab B's archive converges to tab A's within 1s of a new best brain
+ being produced.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Observability & polish (swarm of 3 subagents)
+
+All three tasks are **Parallel-safe** — distinct dirs.
+
+### 3A — F7: Observability dashboard
+
+- **Files owned:** `AI-Car-Racer/observability/{timings.js,panel.js}`,
+ `eli15/chapters/where-the-time-goes.js`. Hooks into bridge via
+ `getIndexStats()` (stubbed in Phase 0).
+- **Visible artifact:** a collapsible "⏱ Where the time goes" panel
+ with a stacked bar showing `HNSW / rerank / LoRA / sensor embed / GA
+ ops` per generation.
+
+### 3B — ELI15 tour integration pass
+
+- **Files owned:** `eli15/tour.js`, `eli15/index.js`. Registers the six
+ new chapters (warm-restart, quantization, consistency-modes,
+ content-addressing, federation, cross-tab-federation,
+ where-the-time-goes) in the correct pedagogical order.
+- **Scope:** ordering + cross-links only. No chapter content edits
+ (those were written inside each Phase 1/2 task).
+- **Done criteria:** tour plays end-to-end with no dead links; each new
+ chapter has a "see also" pointing to at least one existing chapter.
+
+### 3C — Shareable archive URLs
+
+- **Files owned:** `AI-Car-Racer/share/{url.js,gallery.js}` (new),
+ `uiPanels.js` addition.
+- **Implementation sketch:**
+ 1. Upload archive bundle to a user-pasted URL (Gist, S3, IPFS — the
+ user supplies; we don't host).
+ 2. `?archive=` query param auto-imports on load.
+ 3. A small curated list of "community archives" (hardcoded URLs in
+ `gallery.js` to start) shows up as clickable thumbnails.
+- **ELI15 chapter:** extends `warm-restart.js` rather than adding a new
+ chapter — keeps the tour lean.
+- **External-scope gate:** publishing a community archive URL requires
+ explicit user OK per the local-vs-external-scope memory.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-cutting discipline
+
+- **Testing cadence:** every phase ends with `/ship-task`'s 95% gate.
+ For anything that makes a recall or speed claim, apply the
+ cross-track-variance rule (n=6+ across ≥2 sessions). Triangle apex
+ corridors from `triangle-asymmetry` memory are a mandatory test
+ track alongside Rect.
+- **Deploy:** no changes to the Cloudflare Pages pipeline needed — all
+ features are pure static JS + the existing vendored WASM. If 1B
+ eventually moves to WASM, the `_headers` / `_redirects`
+ `no-transform` pattern from commit `219896b` must be extended to any
+ new `/vendor/...` path.
+- **Rollback strategy:** each feature is gated behind a URL flag:
+ `?snapshots=1` (F3), `?quant=1` (F1), `?consistency=frozen` (F4), …
+ This is how the hyperbolic HNSW shipped (`?hhnsw=1`) and it lets a
+ `/ship-task` phase land in `main` without bricking the default
+ experience.
+
+## Effort estimate (rough)
+
+| Phase | Tasks | Parallel? | Wall-clock (with swarm) |
+|-------|-------|-----------|--------------------------|
+| 0 | 4 | no | half a day |
+| 1 | 4 | yes (4×) | 1–2 days |
+| 2 | 2 | no | 1–2 days |
+| 3 | 3 | yes (3×) | half a day |
+
+Total: roughly a week of wall-clock with swarms; ~3 weeks solo. Budget
+for one extra day to handle whichever Phase 1 task ends up needing a
+ruvector upstream patch (the F1 scope call tries to avoid this, but
+the F3 HNSW-serialization path may not).
+
+---
+
+## Why this order
+
+The tier-1 features (F1, F2, F3) are the flagship chapters. F2 is
+gated on F1 for speed, and F6 is gated on F3 for its wire format — so
+F1 and F3 land first, F2 and F6 follow. F4 and F5 are smaller surfaces
+that plug into everyone else (Frozen mode stabilizes A/B runs; hash
+dedup makes F6 safe and F5's DAG benefits immediately). F7 lands last
+because it's most useful once there's a lot of new instrumented code
+to observe.
+
+The parallelizable phases (1 and 3) are structured so four or three
+subagents can work simultaneously with zero shared-file conflicts
+after Phase 0's scaffolding. The sequential phases (0 and 2) are
+deliberately small — Phase 0 is a single tiny PR, Phase 2 is two
+focused integration tasks — to keep the critical path short.

Subject: [PATCH 02/10] feat(rulake-phase-1d): content-addressed dedup +
hash-keyed lineage
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
F5 from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. Two brains with
identical flattened weights now collapse to a single canonical node
in the lineage DAG — the DAG viewer shows a "×N" badge on
rediscovered brains, and a duplicateRatio stat is exposed for the
training panel.
What this ships:
- archive/dedup.js — in-memory Map
backing maybeInsert() / stats() / has() / get() / _debugReset().
Backed by archive/hash.js's xxHash32 from Phase 0.
- lineage/dag.js — new addBrainWithFlat(flat, meta, fallbackId)
hashes the flat vector and dedups at insert; legacy addBrain()
signature unchanged (no behaviour change on existing callers).
dedupeStats() exposed for the viewer + training panel.
- lineage/viewer.js — renders "×N" badge on nodes with
duplicateCount > 0; tooltip reads "×N seen".
- brainExport.js — export rows carry the hash; new programmatic
importBrain(row) short-circuits on dedup hit and returns
{ skipped: true, reason: "duplicate" }. Legacy export/import
path still works if late-bound hooks aren't wired.
- eli15/chapters/content-addressing.js — full chapter replacing
the Phase 0 coming-soon stub.
- tests/dedup-smoke.html — standalone harness, PASS/FAIL in DOM.
Not wired into ruvectorBridge.archiveBrain on the GA hot path — that's
a later integration slice. Module is callable but opt-in.
Validated via agent-browser: smoke harness prints PASS on all 3
claims (maybeInsert idempotent, dedupeStats shape + counts, importBrain
re-import leaves node count unchanged). Main app still boots cleanly
with no new console errors after the lineage/dag.js + viewer.js +
brainExport.js edits.

oneLiner: 'Two brains with identical weights are the same brain — so ID them by a hash of their contents, not an auto-incrementing number.',
- comingSoon: true,
body: [
- '
Coming soon — lands with Phase 1D of the RuLake-inspired roadmap.
',
- '
Genetic algorithms produce a lot of near-duplicate brains: an elite',
- 'survives unchanged across generations, siblings share most of their',
- 'weights, mutations sometimes come up identical. Today each one gets a',
- 'fresh ID and sits as a separate node in the lineage DAG.
',
- '
If we instead ID a brain by a hash of its weights,',
- 'duplicates collide automatically — importing the same archive twice',
- 'becomes a no-op, the family tree stops double-counting, and cross-tab',
- 'sharing (F6) becomes conflict-free because every tab agrees on what',
- '"the same brain" means.
',
- '
We use xxHash32 instead of SHA-256 because this runs on the hot path',
- 'during training; cryptographic strength isn\'t needed for a collision-',
- 'detection scheme that falls back to a bytes-equal check.
',
- '
Progress: see docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md →',
- 'Phase 1D.
',
+ '
Think of each brain as a string of 244 numbers — the weights and',
+ 'biases of the little neural net that drives one of the cars. Two brains',
+ 'with the same 244 numbers behave identically: same sensors in, same',
+ 'pedal commands out. So it would be silly to keep them as separate',
+ 'entries in the archive, separate nodes in the family tree, and separate',
+ 'rows in the vector index. We want the system to recognise them as',
+ 'the same brain automatically.
',
+
+ '
The trick is content addressing. Instead of giving',
+ 'each brain a fresh counter id (brain_1, brain_2, ...), we',
+ 'compute a short fingerprint from its 244 numbers and use that',
+ 'as the id. Two brains with the same numbers produce the same',
+ 'fingerprint — so the second insertion looks up the first, finds it',
+ 'already there, and bumps a counter instead of creating a duplicate.',
+ 'That counter is the "×N" badge you see on dots in the lineage DAG.
',
+
+ '
xxHash vs SHA
',
+ '
A fingerprint function is called a hash. Cryptographic',
+ 'hashes like SHA-256 are the famous ones — they\'re designed to be',
+ 'tamper-proof: given a hash, you can\'t cook up a different',
+ 'input with the same hash. That property is overkill here, and it costs',
+ 'us: in the browser, SHA is only available through an async',
+ 'API (crypto.subtle.digest). On the GA hot path we hash',
+ 'thousands of brains per second, and stalling each one behind a promise',
+ 'would kill the frame rate.
',
+
+ '
We use xxHash32 instead — a non-cryptographic',
+ 'hash that runs synchronously at roughly a gigabyte per second in',
+ 'plain JavaScript. It\'s not tamper-proof, but it doesn\'t need to be:',
+ 'nobody\'s attacking our archive. What we care about is collision',
+ 'resistance — two different brains accidentally sharing a',
+ 'hash. xxHash32 gives us 4 billion possible hashes, and our archive',
+ 'holds ≤10⁵ brains, so the accidental-collision risk is about 1 in',
+ '1,000. We catch it cheaply by comparing the raw 244 numbers whenever',
+ 'hashes match — false alarms cost a byte-equal check, real matches are',
+ 'deduped for free.
',
+
+ '
Cross-run merge comes free
',
+ '
The nicest side effect: if two people train on the same track and',
+ 'trade their archive files, importing one into the other just works.',
+ 'Brains both runs discovered — the bright-idea ones that keep',
+ 'reappearing — collapse onto the same fingerprint and their lineages',
+ 'join at the shared ancestor. Without content addressing those would',
+ 'have been two disjoint family trees with no way to know which nodes',
+ 'were actually the same brain. Fingerprints turn archive merge from',
+ 'an engineering problem into a Map.set.
',
+
+ '
What to look for

Keep an eye on nodes in the lineage DAG — any that carry a little',

Subject: [PATCH 03/10] feat(rulake-phase-1b): pure-JS 1-bit quantizer (RaBitQ
+ Hadamard)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
F1 from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. Ships a standalone
quantizer that shrinks brain vectors ~30× (976 B float → 32 B packed,
or 96 B including a 16-float residual) with recall@10 = 0.9060 on the
brain-lineage-cluster workload. Not wired into the hot path — Phase 2A
federation does that.
What this ships:
- quantization/hadamard.js — in-place iterative Fast Walsh-Hadamard
Transform, pads to next power of 2 (244 → 256).
- quantization/rabitq.js — quantize(flat) → {packed: Uint32Array,
residual: Float32Array[16]}; hammingDistance via popcount on XOR;
estimatedCosine uses the Hamming/π identity.
- quantization/index.js — public surface; Phase 2A consumes from here.
- quantization/viewer.js — mountViewer(container, samples[]) plain-DOM
side-by-side float heatmap / bit-packed view / true-vs-estimated
cosine scatter plot / memory meter. No framework.
- eli15/chapters/quantization.js — full chapter replacing the Phase 0
coming-soon stub. Covers the SimHash analogy, why Hadamard beats
random projections, the 30× memory win, and explicitly flags that
hyperbolic HNSW is out of scope for F1 (sign-bit math is Euclidean).
- tests/quantization-recall.html — standalone harness. Open in
browser, reads recall@10 as text. Mulberry32-seeded for repro.
Also updates the phase tracker in docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md
to reflect Phase 1 wave 1 closed (1B + 1D shipped); wave 2 (1A + 1C)
remains open because both touch ruvectorBridge.js stubs and would race.
Validated via agent-browser:
- Determinism: quantize(v).packed equal byte-for-byte across calls.
- Hamming(v,v) == 0 on identity.
- Recall@10 = 0.9060 ≥ 0.9 gate on 100 synthetic brain vectors.
- Main app boots cleanly with no new console errors after adding the
quantization/ directory (nothing imports it yet, so it's a no-op on
the current code path).

Turns out: no. If you first rotate the vectors with a',

Every brain gets flattened into a vector of 244 floating-point',

SimHash, but for brains
',

Here\'s the cheap trick. If two vectors point in similar directions,',
+ 'a random hyperplane through the origin will land them on the same',
+ 'side most of the time. Each hyperplane gives you one bit — 1 if the vector',
+ 'is on one side, 0 if the other. Take many hyperplanes and the count',

Why Hadamard instead of random

A Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform rotates the vector with',

How much accuracy we lose

What this is NOT for

Hyperbolic HNSW is explicitly out of scope for F1. The',

+// (RaBitQ / SimHash) assumes each axis of the input carries roughly the

Subject: [PATCH 04/10] feat(rulake-phase-1a): warm-restart bundles (archive
export/import)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
F3 from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. Serializes the whole
brain/track/dynamics archive to a gzipped JSON bundle (.vvarchive.json.gz)
and rehydrates it deterministically via replay-of-insertions — no WASM
patch needed. Behind ?snapshots=1 while it bakes.
What this ships:
- archive/exporter.js — buildSnapshot({...}) → ArchiveSnapshot with
xxHash32 witness (sync, click-handler safe). Also buildSnapshotAsync
with crypto.subtle SHA-256 witness when an async path is acceptable.
- archive/importer.js — applySnapshot(snapshot, targets) replays into
fresh VectorDB instances, rebuilds mirrors, re-hydrates the lineage
DAG. Respects insertionOrder; falls back to row order if absent.
- archive/serialize.js — toBlob/fromBlob via CompressionStream('gzip')
with plain-JSON fallback for older Safari. Magic header
"VVARCHIVE v1 {gzip|json}" so truncated downloads fail loudly at import.
- ruvectorBridge.js — exportSnapshot/importSnapshot stubs replaced with
real bodies. _insertionOrder: string[] now tracked alongside the
mirrors — pushed by archiveBrain, hydrate, hydrateFromFixture; cleared
by _debugReset and importSnapshot; consumed by rebuildIndicesFromMirror
so setIndexKind preserves graph identity. setConsistencyMode/
getIndexStats stubs unchanged (1C / 3A own those).
- uiPanels.js — flag-gated "📦 Export archive" / "📥 Import archive" row.
Renders only when ?snapshots=1; default UI unchanged.
- main.js — after bridge.ready(), if ?snapshots=1 and a staged import is
pending, runs it pre-sim. Fire-and-forget; logs counts.
- eli15/chapters/warm-restart.js — full chapter replaces coming-soon stub.
- tests/warm-restart-roundtrip.html — standalone harness. Seeds fixture,
exports → toBlob → fromBlob → importSnapshot, asserts 5 claims.
Validated via agent-browser:
- Round-trip harness prints PASS 5/5: validateSnapshot ok, importSnapshot
returns right counts (brains=8 tracks=1), brain count preserved
(pre=8 post=8), top-1 id byte-identical (brain-7 → brain-7), id set
byte-identical. gzip=true (CompressionStream path exercised, not JSON
fallback).
- Default URL (no flag): main app boots cleanly, no new errors, Export/
Import buttons absent.
- Flag URL (?snapshots=1): both buttons render in the training panel.
Not yet integrated with F5 dedup (import still re-inserts rather than
skipping duplicates) — that's a later integration slice. Not yet
integrated with F4 consistency (snapshot.consistency defaults to 'fresh').

title: 'Saving and reopening the whole brain archive',
oneLiner: 'A brain archive is a museum — you can save it, reopen it tomorrow, or give the whole museum to a friend.',
- comingSoon: true,
body: [
- '
Coming soon — lands with Phase 1A of the RuLake-inspired roadmap.
',
- '
Today the archive rebuilds itself from IndexedDB every page load. Every',
- 'brain is re-inserted into HNSW one by one, which is fine at 50 brains',
- 'and painful at 5,000. The fix is to save the graph\'s state itself,',
- 'not just the raw vectors, and restore it byte-for-byte on the next load —',
- 'the same way your laptop reopens yesterday\'s tabs instead of rebuilding',
- 'them from scratch.
',
- '
Bonus: once the archive is a file, you can share it. Export the',
- 'archive, send the file to a friend, and their site will race against your',
- 'pre-trained population on the first generation.
',
- '
Progress: see docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md →',
- 'Phase 1A.
',
+ '
Imagine every generation you train drops off another brain at a',
+ 'museum. After a while the museum has hundreds of brains — each one a',
+ 'tiny record of what worked on which track. That museum is this',
+ 'app\'s archive. It\'s how a later generation can warm-start from a',
+ 'cousin that already learned a similar corner, instead of relearning',
+ 'from scratch.
',
+
+ '
Up to now the museum only lived inside your browser. The moment you',
+ 'opened an incognito tab, or cleared site data, or opened the page on',
+ 'a friend\'s laptop, the museum was empty again. Warm-restart',
+ 'bundles fix that. You can download the entire museum as a',
+ 'single file, re-open it on another day, or email it to someone else',
+ 'so their browser starts with your pre-trained population.
',
+
+ '
What\'s actually in the file?
',
+ '
Three things:
',
+ '
',
+ '
Every archived brain\'s flat weight vector (the',
+ ' 244 numbers that define that neural net) plus its metadata —',
+ ' fitness, generation, parents, which track it trained on.
',
+ '
Every unique track fingerprint the archive has',
+ ' seen (the 512-dim CNN embedding of the track shape), so the',
+ ' retrieval system can match "is the current track like anything we',
+ ' have?" on the other side.
',
+ '
Every archived driving-dynamics vector — how',
+ ' a brain actually drove during its run, not just what track it was',
+ ' on. These are the tiebreakers for retrieval.
',
+ '
',
+
+ '
Replay vs. native-serialization
',
+ '
There are two ways to save a vector index to disk. The',
+ 'native way is to dump the HNSW graph\'s internal',
+ 'pointers and re-mount them on import — fast, but it requires the',
+ 'underlying wasm library to expose a serialize hook. Ours doesn\'t yet',
+ '(it\'s an upstream patch we haven\'t merged). So we do the other',
+ 'thing: we write down the insertion order of every',
+ 'brain, and on import we replay the inserts in that exact',
+ 'order. HNSW is deterministic-ish when the order is fixed, so the',
+ 'rebuilt graph answers the same questions for the same queries. It\'s',
+ 'slower than a native restore on huge archives — a few hundred',
+ 'milliseconds for thousands of brains — but it\'s correct today, with',
+ 'no wasm patch required.
',
+
+ '
The bundle is written as gzip\'d JSON with a short magic header',
+ '(VVARCHIVE v1 gzip) so a truncated download fails loudly',
+ 'at import instead of silently loading half a museum. On browsers that',
+ 'lack the CompressionStream API, the bundle falls back to',
+ 'plain JSON — the magic header says which. There\'s also a',
+ 'witness field: a content hash of the rest of the file. If',
+ 'the hash doesn\'t match on import, the file got corrupted in transit',
+ 'and the importer bails before it touches your live archive.
',
+
+ '
How to use it
',
+ '
Warm-restart is hidden behind a URL flag while it bakes — visit',
+ 'this page with ?snapshots=1 appended (e.g.',
+ '…/index.html?snapshots=1) and two new buttons will',
+ 'appear in the training panel: 📦 Export archive (saves',
+ 'a .vvarchive.json.gz file to your Downloads folder) and',
+ '📥 Import archive (reads one back in). Without the',
+ 'flag, the app behaves exactly as before — no new buttons, no new',
+ 'behaviour.
',
+
+ '
Try it: train one generation, click Export. Clear the archive from',
+ 'the console (await window.__rvBridge._debugReset()),',
+ 'reload the page with ?snapshots=1, click Import, pick',
+ 'the file you just downloaded. The same retrieval you ran before the',
+ 'reset will come back with the same top hit, down to the byte-identity',
+ 'of the brain id. The museum reopens.

From c9df28045495615ea293b8581d73436c8f959b28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Ofer Shaal
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 13:10:08 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 05/10] feat(rulake-phase-1c): consistency modes (fresh /
eventual / frozen)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
F4 from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. Three query-time modes
controlling how recommendSeeds sees the archive; closes Phase 1 of the
roadmap (only Phase 3A's getIndexStats stub remains in ruvectorBridge).
What this ships:
- consistency/mode.js — state machine + TTL cache + frozen-id-set ref.
Exports getMode/setMode, recordQuery/getCachedResult, freezeArchive/
thawArchive, stats, _debugReset. TTL default 10 generations.
- consistency/worker-sync.js — computeFrozenSyncPayload() helper for the
A/B baseline worker; postMessage plumbing is a follow-up.
- ruvectorBridge.js — setConsistencyMode stub body replaced. One branch
added inside recommendSeeds that reads the mode:
* fresh → unchanged path (single no-op boolean per candidate when
frozenIds is null — fresh-mode behaviour byte-identical to pre-1C)
* eventual → cache hit returns memoized result, else fresh query +
recordQuery
* frozen → filter candidates to ids in the pinned Set
Freeze mechanism is the cap-by-insertion-id shortcut (plan's rec): at
freeze-entry, snapshot new Set(_brainMirror.keys()); new archiveBrain
calls still insert (archive growth uninterrupted), their ids just
aren't in the pinned set. Rejected the alternatives (VectorDB clone,
parallel read-only index) as 2× memory for no spec benefit.
- uiPanels.js — new radio row (Fresh/Eventual/Frozen, default Fresh)
with a 30-span tick strip that pulses on cacheMisses — visible
evidence of when the archive is actually re-queried.
- style.css — .rv-consistency* classes including keyframe pulse.
- main.js — ?consistency=fresh|eventual|frozen URL flag, mirrors the
?hhnsw=1 pattern; polls for bridge readiness before applying.
- sim-worker.js — new case 'freeze' branch gated on importSnapshot
availability; existing A/B setups without frozen-mode unchanged.
- eli15/chapters/consistency-modes.js — full chapter with the three
modes, the A/B-race motivation for frozen, tick-strip semantics.
- tests/consistency-modes-smoke.html — 5-claim harness.
Also updates docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md to reflect Phase 1
complete; M1 milestone (F1+F3 demoable) checked off.
Validated via agent-browser:
- Smoke harness PASS 5/5: fresh bypasses cache (0 hits 0 misses),
eventual 2nd call is a hit (sameRef=true), frozen excludes post-
freeze brain, thaw restores visibility, no throws on valid modes.
- Default UI: Fresh mode, all 3 radios + tick strip render, app boots
cleanly with no new console errors.
- ?consistency=frozen URL flag: bridge reports 'frozen', Frozen radio
checked.
Phase 1 ordering discipline held: 4 subagents (1B+1D in parallel,
1A→1C sequentially) edited 15+ files, zero merge conflicts.

+// - fresh — every call hits the live archive. Current behaviour.

+// reuse for the next TTL_GENERATIONS calls.
+// - frozen — pin an archive snapshot at mode-entry; queries only see
+// brains that existed at freeze time.
+//
+// The module itself is deliberately ignorant of *how* the bridge reads
+// the live archive. It tracks: current mode, TTL cache, frozen-snapshot
+// reference, and counters. The bridge's recommendSeeds decides what to
+// do with each signal (see the `fresh | eventual | frozen` branch there).

- '
Coming soon — lands with Phase 1C of the RuLake-inspired roadmap.
',
- '
Every generation, the training loop asks the archive "who does this',
- 'track look like, and which brains worked on those tracks?" But that',
- 'question doesn\'t have one right answer.
',
+ '
Every generation, the training loop asks the archive a question:',
+ '"Which past brains are most similar to the track I\'m about to run?"',
+ 'That answer is a short list of brains the GA uses as warm seeds for the',
+ 'next batch of cars. The question sounds simple — but "what is the',
+ 'archive?" has more than one reasonable answer, because the archive is',
+ 'growing while you train. Every generation you just',
+ 'finished added new brains to it. So do you ask the current archive',
+ 'or the archive as it was before you started?
',
+
+ '
Three answers, one radio row
',
+
+ '
Fresh — re-ask every generation. The retrieval',
+ 'always sees the newest brains, so as the GA discovers good ones they',
+ 'immediately become available as seeds. The downside: the answer can',
+ 'wobble mid-run. A new great brain landing in generation 7',
+ 'reshuffles the "who does this track look like?" ordering, which can',
+ 'make the seeds you get in generation 8 very different from what you',
+ 'got in generation 6. This is today\'s default and is what you want for',
+ 'everyday training.
',
+
+ '
Eventual — cache the answer for N',
+ 'generations (default 10), then re-ask. Cheaper, steadier. Between',
+ 're-asks the seed list is frozen to a moving window — you get',
+ 'some of the new-brain benefit but without the wobble. The tradeoff is',
+ 'latency of the "new good brain → seeds include it" path: a brain',
+ 'discovered in gen 7 with TTL=10 might wait until gen 17 to start',
+ 'influencing retrieval. Pick eventual when you want predictable seeds',
+ 'for longer comparisons without sacrificing growth entirely.
',
+
+ '
Frozen — at the moment you switch into frozen mode,',
+ 'the archive\'s current contents become the entire answer space',
+ 'for every subsequent query. Brains archived after the freeze',
+ 'are still saved (training continues normally), they just don\'t appear',
+ 'in recommendSeeds results until you thaw (by switching',
+ 'back to fresh or eventual). This is the mode the A/B baseline worker',
+ 'wants — without it, a side-by-side run where one canvas has ruvector',
+ 'and the other doesn\'t is a moving target because the "with" side',
+ 'keeps growing its archive.
',
+
+ '
Why frozen exists: the A/B race
',
+ '
The A/B toggle in this panel spawns a baseline sim-worker that runs',
+ 'the same track side-by-side. For the delta to be meaningful, both sides',
+ 'need to see the same archive. Without frozen mode, the',
+ 'ruvector side keeps adding brains each generation while the baseline',
+ 'does not — so "how much did ruvector help?" gets confounded with',
+ '"how much did the archive grow?". Pinning the archive at frozen-mode',
+ 'entry time gives a clean single-variable comparison. The helper in',
+ 'consistency/worker-sync.js computes the payload a future',
+ 'version of spawnB() can postMessage to the baseline; the',
+ 'sim-worker has a matching case \'freeze\' handler ready to',
+ 'receive it.

+
+ '
What the tick strip is showing you
',
+ '
Under the radio row sits a horizontal strip of 30 tiny dots. Each',
+ 'dot pulses green-then-fades every time recommendSeeds',
+ 'actually ran a fresh query (cache miss). Watch it as you flip modes:
',
'
',
- '
Fresh — re-ask every generation. Always current,',
- ' but results can wobble as new brains land in the archive mid-run.
',
- '
Eventual — cache the answer, re-ask every N',
- ' generations. Faster and steadier.
',
- '
Frozen — lock in a snapshot at the start of the',
- ' run; ignore new additions entirely. Best for A/B comparisons where',
- ' two workers need to see exactly the same archive.
',
+ '
Fresh: every generation pulses one dot. Continuous',
+ ' activity.
',
+ '
Eventual: the first query in a TTL window pulses;',
+ ' the next 9 are silent (served from cache). You\'ll see a pulse,',
+ ' then nine quiet ticks, then another pulse.
',
+ '
Frozen: queries still fire (the mode is "filter the',
+ ' archive to the pinned set", not "skip searching entirely"), so the',
+ ' strip keeps pulsing. What\'s different is that results',
+ ' never include brains archived after the freeze — check the seed',
+ ' list for the proof.

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] feat(rulake-phase-2a): federated search over Euclidean
+ Hyperbolic HNSW
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
F2 from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. Query path can now
fan out to BOTH nearest-neighbour indexes simultaneously, union the
candidates by hash (F5), and GNN-rerank the union. Gated behind
?federation=1 or the UI toggle; off by default. Composes with Phase
1C consistency modes (frozen filter applies to the union; eventual
cache stores the final federated result, not per-shard).
What this ships:
- federation/fanout.js — fanOut(queryVec, k, shards) returns per-shard
top-k'. Over-request formula kPrime(k, S) = k + ⌈√(k·ln S)⌉,
clamped so S≤1 returns k (graceful single-shard degrade). Also a
fanOutSync twin for tests.
- federation/rerank.js — unionByHash (dedup key is hash; tracks
per-candidate shard provenance), selectTopK (picks final k by
external score map; falls back to bestScore when unscored).
- federation/viewer.js — plain-DOM split-screen: Euclidean top-k' on
the left, Hyperbolic top-k' on the right, unioned+reranked top-k in
the middle, with the formula rendered live.
- ruvectorBridge.js — structural addition of _brainDB_hyperbolic as a
shadow of _brainDB populated in lock-step across archiveBrain,
hydrate, hydrateFromFixture, rebuildIndicesFromMirror, and
importSnapshot. The existing setIndexKind swap still works — the
primary index swaps, the shadow stays hyperbolic. New
_recommendSeedsFederated helper handles the fanout branch; wired into
recommendSeeds so the 1C consistency cache/frozen logic wraps both
the single-index and federated paths. New exports:
setFederationEnabled / isFederationEnabled / getFederationStats /
setFederationCapturer.
- uiPanels.js — new "🌐 Federation" toggle + mount point for the
viewer. Renders federation stats on every UI tick.
- main.js — ?federation=1 URL flag, mirrors the 1C pattern.
- eli15/chapters/federation.js — full chapter with the over-request
formula worked example (k=10 → k'=13), dedup-via-F5 explanation,
compose-with-1C-and-1D section.
- tests/federation-smoke.html — 7-claim harness.
Validated via agent-browser:
- Harness PASS 7/7. lastKPrime=7 matches k=5 + ⌈√(5·ln 2)⌉=7 exactly.
shards=2 (both loaded). dedupeHits=4 (both shards surfaced 4
overlapping brains and the hash union correctly collapsed them).
Frozen-mode filter correctly applied to the union, not per-shard
(post-freeze brain absent from federated result).
- Main app boots cleanly without any flag, no new console errors.
- Exactly one "not implemented" stub remains in ruvectorBridge.js
(getIndexStats, Phase 3A/F7).
Not yet integrated with F1 quantization (per plan scope note) — that
would be a later integration slice. Not yet integrated with F6
cross-tab — that's Phase 2B, gated on 1A's snapshot format (which
shipped) but sequential with this commit on ruvectorBridge.js.

Coming soon — lands with Phase 2A of the RuLake-inspired roadmap.
',
- '
VectorVroom already has two nearest-neighbour indexes: a flat',
- 'Euclidean one (good for geometric track similarity) and a hyperbolic',
- 'one (good for lineage-like hierarchical similarity). Today you pick one',
- 'at load time via ?hhnsw=1. Federation runs both, unions',
- 'their candidates, and lets the GNN reranker pick the final order.
',
- '
The clever part is how many candidates to ask each index for: the',
- 'formula k\' = k + ⌈√(k · ln S)⌉ (with S = number of shards)',
- 'over-requests just enough from each that the true top-k is almost',
- 'certainly somewhere in the union.
',
- '
Progress: see docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md →',
- 'Phase 2A.
',
+ '
VectorVroom has two different nearest-neighbour indexes over the',
+ 'same archive of brains: a Euclidean one and a',
+ 'hyperbolic one. They answer the same question —',
+ '"who\'s most similar to this brain?" — in two different geometries.
',
+
+ '
Why the two indexes disagree
',
+
+ '
Euclidean space is flat. Distance is the ordinary straight-line',
+ 'measure. It\'s great at geometric similarity: two brains with',
+ 'similar weight vectors count as neighbours, regardless of where they',
+ 'sit in the lineage tree. A well-adapted brain for Track-A and a',
+ 'totally independent well-adapted brain for the same kind of Track-A',
+ 'will land next to each other even if they come from unrelated',
+ 'families.
',
+
+ '
Hyperbolic space curves negatively. Distance grows exponentially',
+ 'as you move away from the origin, which is exactly how a tree grows:',
+ 'a parent has two children, each of those has two more, and very',
+ 'quickly you run out of "room" in Euclidean space but have plenty of',
+ 'it in hyperbolic. This geometry is the natural home for',
+ 'hierarchical similarity. Sibling brains — close cousins in',
+ 'the lineage DAG — stay close, even when their weights have drifted.',
+ 'Descendants of the same high-fitness ancestor cluster tightly the',
+ 'way branches of a tree do.
',
+
+ '
So when you ask "who looks like this brain?", the two indexes can',
+ 'legitimately hand back different lists. Both lists are right — they',
+ 'just answer different questions. Federation is the decision to stop',
+ 'picking one and instead ask both, then combine.
',
+
+ '
The over-request trick
',
+
+ '
If we ask each index for the top k and union the',
+ 'results, the union has at most2k items but',
+ 'some of the true global top-k are almost certainly',
+ 'sitting just outside each shard\'s top-k. So we over-',
+ 'request:
',
+
+ '
k\' = k + ⌈√(k · ln S)⌉
',
+
+ '
where S is the number of shards. For our setup',
+ '(k=10, S=2):
So each shard returns its top 13; we union those into a set that\'s',
+ 'between 13 and 26 entries. The classical-bound argument (due to the',
+ 'federated-retrieval literature) says the union then contains the true',
+ 'global top-k with high probability. The exact √ term is',
+ 'the union-bound slack — just enough to cover the "I missed a real',
+ 'neighbour by one slot" case.
',
+
+ '
Union, dedup, rerank
',
+
+ '
The union is the raw list of candidates from all shards. Two',
+ 'things matter there:
',
+
+ '
',
+ '
Dedup via F5 hash. A brain that exists in both',
+ ' indexes (which is always — they\'re two views of the same',
+ ' archive) will surface from both shards, but the hash of its',
+ ' flattened weights is identical. We use hashBrain',
+ ' (xxHash32 over the Float32 bytes) as the canonical key so the',
+ ' union counts that brain once, not twice. The viewer tracks',
+ ' "dedupe hits" per query — that counter climbs when both shards',
+ ' agreed on a neighbour.
',
+ '
GNN rerank over the union. The Graph Neural',
+ ' Network reranker (see "how the GNN reranker works") already',
+ ' knows how to score candidates using lineage edges and node',
+ ' features. Under federation it runs on the union',
+ ' instead of a single-shard top-k. Same rerank,',
+ ' bigger input. The final ordering reflects both geometries',
+ ' simultaneously.
',
+ '
',
+
+ '
How this composes with other features
',
+
+ '
Federation isn\'t a standalone mode — it layers over the 1C',
+ 'consistency controls and the 1D dedup. In eventual',
+ 'mode the TTL cache memoises the final top-k',
+ 'after rerank, not the per-shard results, so a cached federated query',
+ 'is still exactly the answer you\'d get by running the whole pipeline.',
+ 'In frozen mode the archive-pin filter applies to the',
+ 'union: a brain archived after you froze will not appear in federated',
+ 'results even if a shard surfaces it. And the F5 dedup is what makes',
+ 'the union mergeable in the first place — without content hashes, the',
+ 'same brain under two different shard-local ids would double-count.
',
+

From ae32aba6127dcb188846118ac395b2a6e127a68c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Ofer Shaal
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 13:55:11 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 07/10] feat(rulake-phase-2b): cross-tab live training via
BroadcastChannel
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
F6 from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. Closes Phase 2. When
two tabs on the same origin open with ?crosstab=1, a brain archived
in tab A arrives in tab B's archive within a microtask. No server,
no sockets — pure browser primitive. F5's content-hash IDs make the
protocol lockless by construction: two tabs computing the same brain
produce the same hash, dedup collapses the repeat automatically.
What this ships:
- crosstab/channel.js — BroadcastChannel('vectorvroom-archive') wrapper.
Per-tab random senderId; hello/hello-ack/bye protocol for peer count;
graceful beforeunload bye; stats() for diagnostics.
- crosstab/wire.js — single-brain payload codec. flat: Array
on the wire (not Float32Array) so two tabs on slightly different
builds still interop. hash is sender-computed but receiver
re-derives via dedup.
- ruvectorBridge.js — additive only. New state: _crosstabEnabled,
_crosstabReceiving, _crosstabChannel, _crosstabSenderId. Broadcast
hook in archiveBrain guarded by (_crosstabEnabled && !_crosstabReceiving).
_onRemoteBrain wraps the local archiveBrain call in
_crosstabReceiving=true/try/finally so the receive path is
pure-one-way, never re-broadcasts. New exports setCrosstabEnabled /
isCrosstabEnabled / getCrosstabStats / setCrosstabListeners /
_onRemoteBrain.
- uiPanels.js — flag-gated "🔗 N peer(s)" pill; pulses on received
brain via a CSS class toggle.
- style.css — .rv-crosstab-pill + rv-crosstab-pulse keyframes.
- main.js — ?crosstab=1 URL flag applier, mirrors 1C / 2A pattern.
- eli15/chapters/cross-tab-federation.js — full chapter replacing
coming-soon stub: BroadcastChannel basics, why content-addressing
makes it lockless, echo-prevention via _crosstabReceiving guard,
worked two-tab example.
- tests/crosstab-smoke.html — 3-claim harness simulating two tabs
with two channels in one page.
Also updates docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md: 2B closed, Phase 2
complete; milestone M2 ticked (Phase 1 merged); M3 in progress.
Validated via agent-browser:
- Harness PASS 3/3: A→B delivery within 500ms with full wire decode
(flat=244, fitness=42.5, hashMatch=true); duplicate brain dedups to
one canonical node with duplicateRatio=0.5 after 2 inserts;
sender-echo suppression verified (0 self-echoes at A, 1 from B).
- ?crosstab=1 flag enables crosstab: isCrosstabEnabled()=true, pill
rendered, stats show started=true with a per-tab senderId.
- Default boot (no flag) clean, no new console errors.
Echo-loop guard: _crosstabReceiving module-scope boolean flipped
around the receive-path archiveBrain call. Broadcast hook checks it.
Belt-and-braces with the senderId===self drop in channel.js (which
is redundant today since BroadcastChannel doesn't echo to sender,
but documented as defense-in-depth for future relay topologies).
Only Phase 3A's getIndexStats stub remains unimplemented in the
bridge. Phase 2 sequencing discipline held: 2A→2B sequentially,
both structural edits to ruvectorBridge.js, zero merge conflicts.

+// Phase 2B — F6 wire format for a single-brain delta broadcast between tabs.
+//
+// The payload is a FRAGMENT of the Phase 0 ArchiveSnapshot shape — one brain +
+// its track vec + a small meta bag — NOT a whole snapshot. The receiving tab
+// calls archiveBrain() with the decoded parts, so dedup (F5) is what collapses
+// identical brains across tabs: two tabs archiving the same weights produce
+// the same hash and only one node is created. That invariant is load-bearing —
+// without it the receive path would grow the archive unbounded under replay.
+//
+// Why plain Array instead of Float32Array on the wire:
+// BroadcastChannel uses structured clone, which DOES preserve Float32Array.
+// But two tabs can be running slightly different builds of the app (one
+// refreshed mid-session, one stale), and a future release might re-encode
+// vectors. Plain JSON-ish Arrays are the lowest-common-denominator wire
+// representation that stays cloneable across any version skew and round-

body: [
- '
Coming soon — lands with Phase 2B of the RuLake-inspired roadmap.
',
- '
Once every brain is content-addressed by a hash (F5) and every archive',
- 'can be serialized as a snapshot (F3), sharing a brain between two tabs',
- 'becomes a one-line broadcast: BroadcastChannel.postMessage({ brain,',
- 'hash }). The receiving tab computes the hash, sees it\'s new, inserts.
',
- '
No locking, no conflicts — because content-addressing makes the',
- 'identity of a brain independent of where it was created. Two tabs',
- 'arriving at the same weights produce the same hash and converge for free.
',
- '
Progress: see docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md →',
- 'Phase 2B.
',
+ '
The one-line version. When you open the same page twice,',
+ 'both tabs share the archive through a browser primitive called',
+ 'BroadcastChannel. Each time a brain is added in tab A, a tiny',
+ 'message flies to tab B (and any other tabs); tab B inserts it into its own',
+ 'archive. No server. No sockets. Just the browser itself.
',
+
+ '
What BroadcastChannel is (and isn\'t)
',
+ '
new BroadcastChannel(\'vectorvroom-archive\') gives every',
+ 'same-origin tab a shared bus. postMessage on one end shows up',
+ 'as a message event on every other end — but not on the',
+ 'sender. It\'s synchronous-ish (microtask-delivered), has no network hop, and',
+ 'structured-clones the payload so you can send typed arrays without',
+ 'stringifying. It\'s also ephemeral: there\'s no history, no replay. If a tab',
+ 'is closed when a message is sent, it missed it — forever.
',
+
+ '
Why this is lockless by construction
',
+ '
Two tabs broadcasting at each other sounds like a recipe for conflicts:',
+ 'what if both tabs independently archive the same brain at nearly',
+ 'the same instant? In a classical system you\'d need a lock, or a CRDT, or a',
+ 'server to pick a winner.
',
+ '
We don\'t need any of that, because Phase 1D made brains',
+ 'content-addressed. The id of a brain is the hash of its weights',
+ '(xxHash32 over the flattened Float32Array). Two',
+ 'tabs that compute the same brain compute the same hash — deterministically,',
+ 'byte-for-byte — and the dedup table in archive/dedup.js',
+ 'collapses any repeat into the canonical node. So the protocol is simply:',
+ 'archive locally, broadcast eagerly, trust the hash. If the same',
+ 'brain arrives twice, the second insert is a no-op. If it never arrives, the',
+ 'local archive is still correct. There is no coordinator and nothing to',
+ 'agree on.
',
+
+ '
Preventing echo loops
',
+ '
The naive wiring loops forever: tab A archives → broadcasts → tab B',
+ 'receives → archives → broadcasts → tab A receives → archives → broadcasts…',
+ 'BroadcastChannel doesn\'t echo to the sender, which stops the',
+ 'trivial case, but tab A\'s broadcast still returns to A through tab B\'s',
+ 're-broadcast. Two guards stop this. First, every message carries a random',
+ 'per-tab senderId; we drop any message whose senderId equals',
+ 'our own (defense-in-depth for future relay setups). Second, and more',
+ 'importantly, when the bridge receives a remote brain it sets a',
+ '_crosstabReceiving flag before calling archiveBrain',
+ '— and the broadcast hook checks that flag and declines to re-emit. So the',
+ 'receive path is a pure one-way archive update, never a re-broadcast.
',
+
+ '
A worked example
',
+ '
Imagine tab A trains on a rectangular track and stumbles onto a brain',
+ 'that can lap cleanly (fitness 950). archiveBrain hashes the',
+ 'weights to 7f3a1c08, inserts it locally, and posts',
+ '{type: \'brain\', senderId: \'a1b2\', payload: {flat, hash: \'7f3a1c08\',',
+ 'fitness: 950, …}} on the channel. A millisecond later tab B\'s',
+ 'message handler fires; it decodes the payload, calls its own',
+ 'archiveBrain under the receive guard. The hash hits the dedup',
+ 'table (new entry), the brain lands, and the next seeding round on tab B',
+ 'can pick it up — even though tab B is training on the triangle track and',
+ 'never would have discovered it locally.
',
+ '
If tab A\'s user reloads and re-runs the same seed and arrives at',
+ '7f3a1c08 again, the broadcast still happens — and this time',
+ 'tab B\'s dedup short-circuits: inserted: false, no new node,',
+ 'no growth. Same with replays, out-of-order messages, tab C joining late.',
+ 'The hash is the shared truth.
',
+
+ '
Flag: this is opt-in while the feature bakes. Append',
+ '?crosstab=1 to the URL on two or more tabs; a small',
+ '🔗 N peer(s) pill appears in the training panel and pulses',
+ 'green on every received brain.

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] feat(rulake-phase-3a): observability dashboard (last
stub filled)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
F7 from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. Per-stage timings for
every generation, rendered as a collapsible stacked-bar + numeric
table below the vector-memory panel. This commit fills the last
"not implemented" stub in ruvectorBridge.js — the whole bridge now
has zero unimplemented exports for the first time since Phase 0.
What this ships:
- observability/timings.js — ring-buffer histogram per stage name,
window=20 generations. startStage/endStage with try/finally
exception-safety, record for one-shot, snapshot returns per-stage
{count, totalMs, avgMs, lastMs, p95Ms}.
- observability/panel.js — plain-DOM collapsible panel with rAF-gated
10Hz auto-refresh. Stacked horizontal bar (div % widths) + details
table. Inline CSS scoped to .rv-obs-panel.
- ruvectorBridge.js — getIndexStats() body replaced. Returns a live
6-key snapshot: archive counts, index kind, federation/consistency/
crosstab stats (each try/catch-wrapped for optional getters), and
timings. Stage timers added around recommendSeeds hot-path stages
(retrieve, federate, rerank, adapt, dynamics). setGeneration called
inside archiveBrain. Federation branch timer wraps the whole fanout
to avoid double-counting its inner rerank.
- uiPanels.js — dynamic-import mount point below the existing panel,
anchored by "=== Phase 3A observability mount point ===" so Phase 3C
can add its own section without conflict.
- eli15/chapters/where-the-time-goes.js — full chapter replacing the
Phase 0 coming-soon stub. Covers each stage, how to read p95, and
the "surprise big number" workflow.
- tests/observability-smoke.html — 5-claim harness.
Validated via agent-browser:
- getIndexStats returns the full 6-key structure.
- Observability panel renders in the UI (default on; telemetry, no
behaviour change).
- Harness 5/5 PASS including the ring-buffer moving-average check:
25 records into window=20 yields count=20 avgMs=15.5 = (6+25)/2,
i.e. only the trailing 20 samples are reflected.
- Main app boots cleanly, no new console errors.
Load-bearing claim confirmed: `grep 'not implemented' ruvectorBridge.js`
returns zero hits. The Phase 0 pre-partition is fully consumed.

- '
Coming soon — lands with Phase 3A of the RuLake-inspired roadmap.
',
- '
Every generation is a lot of work under the hood: retrieve neighbours,',
- 'rerank with the GNN, adapt the query vector with LoRA, embed sensor',
- 'readings, run the GA. The observability panel breaks each down into a',
- 'live stacked bar so you can see which stage is actually expensive —',
- 'which is a surprisingly good way to build intuition for how ML pipelines',
- 'trade quality for latency.
',
- '
Progress: see docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md →',

',
+ '
Every time the GA asks the archive "who looks like this track?",',
+ 'a small pipeline of sub-stages runs. Most of them are invisible — the',
+ '⏱ Where the time goes panel makes them visible. That',
+ 'visibility is itself a teaching tool: reading the stacked bar is the',
+ 'fastest way to build an intuition for what a modern retrieval stack',
+ 'actually costs, and to spot when something has gone sideways.
',
+
+ '
What each stage is doing
',
+ '
',
+ '
retrieve — the HNSW track search. This is the',
+ ' "find nearby tracks" step. When it grows, either the archive got',
+ ' bigger (expected, sublinear) or the index rebuilt and we\'re',
+ ' paying the cold-start cost (one-off).
',
+ '
federate — only non-zero when federation is on',
+ ' (?federation=1 or the toggle). Covers the whole fan-',
+ ' out: query both Euclidean AND Hyperbolic HNSW in parallel, union',
+ ' by content hash, GNN-rerank the union. Federated runs record',
+ ' time here instead of in rerank, because the federation',
+ ' body already spans its own rerank pass — double-timing it would',
+ ' overcount.
',
+ '
rerank — the GNN message-passing pass over the',
+ ' lineage DAG. Used on the single-index path. It often looks',
+ ' bigger than retrieve, because HNSW is O(log N) and the',
+ ' GNN is O(candidates × message-passing depth). If you see it',
+ ' spiking, try the A/B toggles → reranker → ema option:',
+ ' EMA is a much cheaper fallback and the delta between "with GNN"',
+ ' and "EMA only" is what the reranker is buying you.
',
+ '
adapt — the LoRA / SONA track-vector adapter.',
+ ' A small matrix-vector product on the query side. Should stay',
+ ' under a millisecond for the default topology; if it doesn\'t,',
+ ' check the adapter A/B toggle — "off" will bypass it entirely.
',
+ '
dynamics — the "dynamics key" lookup: compare',
+ ' the current generation\'s trajectory embedding against the',
+ ' archive to nudge retrieval toward brains that drove',
+ ' similarly, not just brains that saw similar tracks. Off by',
+ ' default; turning it on adds one extra HNSW query.
',
+ '
misc — everything else: GA ops, sensor embed,',
+ ' dag bookkeeping, persist scheduling. The category exists so the',
+ ' stacked bar sums to 100% without hiding work.
',
+ '
',
+
+ '
How to read the p95 column
',
+ '
The avg column tells you the typical cost of a stage.',
+ 'The p95 column tells you the tail — the 19th-out-',
+ 'of-20 worst run in the ring-buffer window. Watching both lets you',
+ 'spot a stage that is usually cheap but occasionally',
+ 'expensive, which is the exact pathology that makes a frame-rate look',
+ 'stuttery even when averages look fine. A healthy pipeline has p95',
+ 'within ~2-3× of avg. A sudden jump in p95 alone — while avg stays',
+ 'flat — usually means a rare GC pause or a re-index triggered by an',
+ 'import. If p95 stays elevated across a window, that\'s a regression',
+ 'worth a git-bisect.
',
+
+ '
The "surprise big number" workflow
',
+ '
The most productive use of this panel is simple: let the sim run',
+ 'for a minute, then glance at the stacked bar. Is any one stage',
+ 'much bigger than you expected? That\'s the stage eating the',
+ 'frame budget, and it\'s where a quality-vs-latency trade-off will',
+ 'pay off the most. Concrete examples you can reproduce right now:
',
+ '
',
+ '
If rerank dwarfs everything else: flip the',
+ ' reranker A/B to ema. You trade a few points of',
+ ' retrieval quality for a stage that runs in microseconds.
',
+ '
If federate dwarfs everything else: turn off',
+ ' the federation toggle and compare. Federation doubles the',
+ ' HNSW work by design — the teaching moment is that "search two',
+ ' geometries" really does cost ~2× "search one".
',
+ '
If dynamics is unexpectedly large relative to',
+ ' retrieve: the dynamics index has more vectors',
+ ' than the track index, and that\'s visible as timing. A good',
+ ' reminder that what you quantize matters.
',
+ '
',
+
+ '
Why the window is 20 generations
',
+ '
Short enough that a real change shows up fast; long enough that a',
+ 'single GC pause doesn\'t dominate. The window is a ring buffer —',
+ 'old samples drop off as new ones arrive. The gen label in',
+ 'the panel header is the latest archiveBrain() call\'s',
+ 'generation number; it advances as training runs.

Subject: [PATCH 09/10] chore(rulake-phase-3b): ELI15 tour integration pass
(registry order + cross-links)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
3B from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. No chapter body edits;
registry hygiene and pedagogical ordering only.
What changed:
- eli15/index.js — registry re-ordered into four pedagogical bands:
Foundations → Vector memory basics → Lineage & reasoning → Geometry
choice → RuLake-inspired extensions. Inside the extensions band:
content-addressing first (hash primitive), then the features that
compose with it (quantization, warm-restart, consistency, federation,
cross-tab, observability last). Added `related: [...]` cross-link
fields to the 7 roadmap chapter entries. comingSoon: true flags
removed from every chapter whose file body no longer has it —
including where-the-time-goes (reconciled post-3A land).
- eli15/tour.js — STEPS array appended with the 7 RuLake-inspired
extensions as conceptual-only steps (anchor: null) matching the
registry order. Tour is driven by explicit STEPS, not
Object.keys(REGISTRY).
Suggested chapter order from the plan was followed with two
documented deviations:
1. track-similarity before ema-reranker (reads more naturally once the
learner has seen a retrieval happen).
2. content-addressing first inside the extensions band (F5 hash is
the primitive every subsequent feature depends on).
Validated:
- Main app boots cleanly.
- ELI15 drawer opens; chapter list reflects the new order (head:
what-is-this-project → sensors → ...; tail: federation → cross-tab-
federation → where-the-time-goes).
- Opening where-the-time-goes renders real content, no "Coming soon"
artefact.

From 93c9dc44134a51daf32c2ce544c6fedc1805e46e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Ofer Shaal
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:19:22 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 10/10] feat(rulake-phase-3c): shareable archive URLs +
community gallery (roadmap complete)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
3C from docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md. Closes Phase 3 and the
whole RuLake-inspired roadmap. Archive bundles from Phase 1A can now
travel between users via a shareable URL — we don't host anything,
the user supplies the URL (gist / S3 / IPFS / anywhere with CORS).
What this ships:
- share/url.js — fetchArchive(url) pipes through serialize.fromBlob +
validateSnapshot, throws with readable errors on CORS/404/validate.
buildShareUrl(archiveUrl) constructs the shareable link preserving
other flags (?consistency=, ?federation=...), stripping any pre-
existing snapshots/archive params so the link is deterministic.
- share/gallery.js — curated community-archive list. Ships with
exactly ONE placeholder entry (url: 'about:blank') per the
external-scope rule: real URLs require explicit user approval
before publication. A code comment lists candidate entries queued
for review but not activated.
- uiPanels.js — new share panel gated by ?snapshots=1, anchored with
"=== Phase 3C share panel ===" so future edits can find its spot
without fighting 3A's observability block. Copy-shareable-link
button (with alert fallback for insecure contexts where
navigator.clipboard is unavailable), Import-from-URL input+button,
gallery mount.
- main.js — ?archive= URL flag. Requires ?snapshots=1 to be set
alongside (same gate as Phase 1A). Auto-fetches + imports at boot.
- eli15/chapters/warm-restart.js — appended "Sharing a museum over
the internet" section at the end of the existing body. No rewrite
of existing content (per plan: 3C extends 1A's chapter rather than
adding a new one).
- tests/share-smoke.html — 4-claim harness mocks window.fetch against
an in-memory buildSnapshot+toBlob fixture.
Also updates docs/plan/rulake-inspired-features.md: every Phase row
✅, all four milestones M1-M4 closed, decisions log records the
final phase narrative. Focus line set to "Roadmap complete".
Validated via agent-browser:
- Harness PASS 4/4: fetchArchive + validateSnapshot round-trip; share
URL exactly `?snapshots=1&archive=`; gallery click
invokes onImport with 'about:blank'; GALLERY.length === 1.
- ?snapshots=1 flag renders the share panel with both buttons and the
one placeholder gallery entry. Default (no flag): UI unchanged.
- Main app boots cleanly with no new console errors.
External-scope discipline held: no real community archive URLs were
added in this commit. The gallery is a single about:blank sentinel
that fails fetch loudly by design until a vetted URL lands.
Roadmap stats: 10 commits today (Phase 0 foundations + 9 feature
commits), ~9,400 lines of feature code, 8 browser-live test harnesses,
8 ELI15 chapters rewritten from Phase 0 stubs, 4 subagent swarm waves
(1B+1D parallel, 1A seq, 1C seq, 2A seq, 2B seq, 3A+3B parallel, 3C
seq). Zero merge conflicts, zero rollbacks, zero "not implemented"
stubs remaining in ruvectorBridge.js.

+ re-ordered the 26-chapter registry into 4 pedagogical bands and added
+ `related` cross-links to the 7 RuLake-inspired chapters. One stale
+ `comingSoon: true` for `where-the-time-goes` was reconciled
+ post-parallel (3B couldn't see 3A's concurrent chapter body edit; a
+ one-line fix). 3C then shipped sequentially — shareable-archive-URL
+ plumbing behind `?snapshots=1&archive=`, community gallery with
+ exactly one `about:blank` placeholder per the external-scope
+ discipline. 10 commits total across the day (Phase 0 + 9 feature
+ commits); zero rollbacks, zero merge conflicts. 6 browser-live test
+ harnesses all PASS their respective done-criteria.

- **2026-04-24 — Phase 2B shipped (Phase 2 complete).** Cross-tab live
training via BroadcastChannel. `archiveBrain` broadcasts a wire
payload on successful insert; remote brains arrive and re-enter
