Implements the llms3.com "AI-safe views" pattern: a named projection
that exposes only whitelisted columns, with optional row filter and
per-column redactions. AI agents (or Phase 13 roles) bind to the view;
they can never accidentally see PII even if they write raw SQL.
Schema (shared::types):
- AiView { name, base_dataset, columns: Vec<String>, row_filter,
column_redactions: HashMap<String, Redaction>, ... }
- Redaction enum: Null | Hash | Mask { keep_prefix, keep_suffix }
Catalog (catalogd::registry):
- put_view validates base dataset exists + columns non-empty
- Persists JSON at _catalog/views/{name}.json (sanitized name)
- rebuild() loads views alongside dataset manifests on startup
Query layer (queryd::context):
- build_context registers every AiView as a DataFusion view object
- Constructed SELECT applies whitelist projection, WHERE filter, and
redaction expressions per column
- Mask: substr(prefix) + repeat('*', mid_len) + substr(suffix)
- Hash: digest(value, 'sha256')
- Null: CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR) AS col
- DataFusion handles JOINs/aggregates over the view natively — it's a
real view, not a query rewrite
HTTP (catalogd::service):
- POST /catalog/views (create)
- GET /catalog/views (list)
- GET /catalog/views/{name} (full def)
- DELETE /catalog/views/{name}
End-to-end test on candidates (100K rows, 15 columns):
candidates_safe view:
columns: candidate_id, first_name, city, state, vertical,
skills, years_experience, status
row_filter: status != 'blocked'
redaction: candidate_id mask(prefix=3, suffix=2)
SELECT * FROM candidates_safe LIMIT 5
-> 8 columns only, candidate_id shown as "CAN******01"
(PII fields email/phone/last_name absent from result)
SELECT email FROM candidates_safe
-> fails (column not in projection)
SELECT email FROM candidates
-> succeeds (raw table still accessible by name —
Phase 13 access control is the gate, not the view itself)
Survives restart — view definitions reload from object storage.
Limits / not in MVP:
- View CANNOT shadow base table by name (DataFusion treats them as
separate identifiers; access control must restrict raw-table access)
- row_filter is treated as trusted SQL — operators must validate
before persisting; only authenticated admin path should call put_view
- Redaction expressions assume column is castable to VARCHAR; numeric
redactions could be misleading (a Hash on Int64 returns a hex string
that won't equi-join with another hash on the same value type)

Three pieces of the multi-bucket federation made real:
1. Catalog migration (POST /catalog/migrate-buckets)
- One-shot normalizer for ObjectRef.bucket field
- Empty -> "primary"; legacy "data"/"local" -> "primary"
- Idempotent; re-running on canonical state is no-op
- Ran on existing catalog: 12 refs renamed from "data", 2 already
"primary", all 14 now canonical
2. X-Lakehouse-Bucket header middleware on ingest
- resolve_bucket() helper extracts header, returns
(bucket_name, store) or 404 with valid bucket list
- ingest_file and ingest_db_stream now route writes per-request
- Defaults to "primary" when header absent
- pipeline::ingest_file_to_bucket records the actual bucket on the
ObjectRef so catalog stays the source of truth for "where does this
data live"
- Verified: ingest with X-Lakehouse-Bucket: testing lands in
data/_testing/, ingest without header lands in data/, bad header
returns 404 with hint
3. queryd registers every bucket with DataFusion
- QueryEngine now holds Arc<BucketRegistry> instead of single store
- build_context iterates all buckets, registers each as a separate
ObjectStore under URL scheme "lakehouse-{bucket}://"
- ListingTable URLs include the per-object bucket scheme so
DataFusion routes scans automatically based on ObjectRef.bucket
- Profile bucket names like "profile:user" sanitized to
"lakehouse-profile-user" since URL host segments can't contain ":"
- Tolerant of duplicate manifest entries (pre-existing
pipeline::ingest_file behavior creates a fresh dataset id per
ingest); duplicates skipped with debug log
- Backward compat: legacy "lakehouse://data/" URL still registered
pointing at primary
Success gate: cross-bucket CROSS JOIN
SELECT p.name, p.role, a.species
FROM people_test p (bucket: testing)
CROSS JOIN animals a (bucket: primary)
LIMIT 5
returns rows correctly. DataFusion routed each scan to its bucket's
ObjectStore based on the URL scheme.
No regressions: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM candidates still returns 100000
from the primary bucket.
Deferred to Phase 17:
- POST /profile/{user}/activate (HNSW hot-load on profile switch)
- vectord storage paths becoming bucket-scoped (trial journals,
eval sets per-profile)

Implements the llms3.com-inspired pattern: embeddings refresh
asynchronously, decoupled from transactional row writes. New rows arrive,
ingest marks the vector index stale, a later refresh embeds only the
delta (doc_ids not already in the index).
Schema additions (DatasetManifest):
- last_embedded_at: Option<DateTime> - when the index was last refreshed
- embedding_stale_since: Option<DateTime> - set when data written, cleared on refresh
- embedding_refresh_policy: Option<RefreshPolicy> - Manual | OnAppend | Scheduled
Ingest paths (pipeline::ingest_file + pg_stream) call
registry.mark_embeddings_stale after writing. No-op if the dataset has
never been embedded — stale semantics only kick in once last_embedded_at
is set.
Refresh pipeline (vectord::refresh::refresh_index):
- Reads the dataset Parquet, extracts (doc_id, text) pairs
- Accepts Utf8 / Int32 / Int64 id columns (covers both CSV and pg schemas)
- Loads existing embeddings via EmbeddingCache (empty on first-time build)
- Filters to rows whose doc_id is NOT in the existing set
- Chunks (chunker::chunk_column), embeds via Ollama (batches of 32),
writes combined index, clears stale flag
Endpoints:
- POST /vectors/refresh/{dataset_name} - body {index_name, id_column,
text_column, chunk_size?, overlap?}
- GET /vectors/stale - lists datasets whose embedding_stale_since is set
End-to-end verified on threat_intel (knowledge_base.threat_intel):
- Initial refresh: 20 rows -> 20 chunks -> embedded in 2.1s,
last_embedded_at set
- Idempotent second refresh: 0 new docs -> 1.8ms (pure delta check)
- Re-ingest to 54 rows: mark_embeddings_stale fires -> stale_since set
- /vectors/stale surfaces threat_intel with timestamps + policy
- Delta refresh: 34 new docs embedded in 970ms (6x faster than full
re-embed); stale_cleared = true
Not in MVP scope:
- UPDATE semantics (same doc_id, different content) - would need
per-row content hashing
- OnAppend policy auto-trigger - just declares intent; actual scheduler
deferred
- Scheduler runtime - the Scheduled(cron) variant declares the intent so
operators can see which datasets expect what, but the cron itself is
separate
Per ADR-019: when a profile switches to vector_backend=Lance, this
refresh path benefits — Lance's native append replaces our "read all +
rewrite" Parquet rebuild pattern. Current MVP works well enough at
~500-5K rows to validate the architecture; Lance unblocks the 5M+ case.

Standalone benchmark crate `crates/lance-bench` running Lance 4.0 against
our Parquet+HNSW at 100K × 768d (resumes_100k_v2) measured 8 dimensions.
Results (see docs/ADR-019-vector-storage.md for full scorecard):
Cold load: Parquet 0.17s vs Lance 0.13s (tie — not ≥2× threshold)
Disk size: 330.3 MB vs 330.4 MB (tie)
Search p50: 873us vs 2229us (Parquet 2.55× faster)
Search p95: 1413us vs 4998us (Parquet 3.54× faster)
Index build: 230s (ec=80) vs 16s (IVF_PQ) (Lance 14× faster)
Random access: 35ms (scan) vs 311us (Lance 112× faster)
Append 10K rows: full rewrite vs 0.08s/+31MB (Lance structural win)
Decision (ADR-019): hybrid, not migrate-or-reject.
- Parquet+HNSW stays primary — our HNSW at ec=80 es=30 recall=1.00 is
2.55× faster than Lance IVF_PQ at 100K in-RAM scale
- Lance joins as second backend per-profile for workloads where it wins
architecturally: random row access (RAG text fetch), append-heavy
pipelines (Phase C), hot-swap generations (Phase 16, 14× faster
builds), and indexes past the ~5M RAM ceiling
- Phase 17 ModelProfile gets vector_backend: Parquet | Lance field
- Ceiling table in PRD updated — 5M ceiling now says "switch to Lance"
instead of "migrate" since Lance runs alongside, not instead of
Isolation: lance-bench is a standalone workspace crate with its own dep
tree (Lance pulls DataFusion 52 + Arrow 57 incompatible with main stack
DataFusion 47 + Arrow 55). Kept off the critical path until API is
stable enough to promote into vectord::lance_store.
