Closes the self-iteration loop from the PRD reframe: an agent can
tune HNSW configs autonomously and the winner flows through to the
next profile activation without human intervention.
Three primitives:
1. PromotionRegistry (vectord::promotion)
- Per-index current + history at _hnsw_promotions/{index}.json
- promote(index, entry) atomically swaps current, pushes prior
onto history (capped at 50)
- rollback() pops history back onto current; clears current if
history exhausted
- config_or(index, default) — the read side used at build time,
returns promoted config if set else caller's default
- Full cache + persistence; writes are durable on return
2. Autotune (vectord::autotune)
- run_autotune(request, ...) — synchronous agent loop
- Default grid: 5 configs covering the practical range
(ec=20/40/80/80/160, es=30/30/30/60/30) with seed=42 for
reproducibility
- Every trial goes through the existing trial-journal pipeline
so autotune runs land alongside manual trials in the
"trials are data" log
- Winner: max recall first, then min p50 latency; must clear
min_recall gate (default 0.9) or no promotion happens
- Config bounds (ec ∈ [10,400], es ∈ [10,200]) reject absurd
values from the request's optional custom grid
- On winner: promote with note "autotune winner: recall=X p50=Y"
3. Wiring
- VectorState gains promotion_registry
- activate_profile now calls promotion_registry.config_or(...)
so newly-promoted configs are picked up on next activation —
the "hot-swap" is: autotune promotes -> profile activates ->
HNSW rebuilt with new config
- New endpoints:
POST /vectors/hnsw/promote/{index}/{trial_id}
?promoted_by=...¬e=...
POST /vectors/hnsw/rollback/{index}
GET /vectors/hnsw/promoted/{index}
POST /vectors/hnsw/autotune { index_name, harness,
min_recall?, grid? }
End-to-end verified on threat_intel_v1 (54 vectors):
- autogen harness 'threat_intel_smoke' (10 queries)
- POST /autotune -> 5 trials in 620ms, winner ec=20 es=30
recall=1.00 p50=64us auto-promoted
- Manual promote of ec=80 es=30 -> history depth 1
- Rollback -> back to ec=20 es=30 autotune winner
- Second rollback -> current cleared
- Re-promote + restart -> persistence verified
- Profile activation after promotion logged:
"building HNSW ef_construction=80 ef_search=30 seed=Some(42)"
proving the hot-swap loop is closed.
Deferred:
- Bayesian optimization (random-grid is fine at this config-space size)
- Append-triggered autotune (Phase 17.5 — refresh OnAppend policy
can schedule autotune after appending sufficient new rows)
- Concurrent autotune per index guard (JobTracker integration)
PRD invariants satisfied: invariant 8 (hot-swappable indexes) is now
real code — promote is atomic, rollback is always available, the
active generation is a persistent pointer not a runtime convention.

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.

- journald crate: immutable event log for every data mutation
- Events: entity_type, entity_id, field, action, old_value, new_value,
actor, source, workspace_id, timestamp
- In-memory buffer with configurable flush threshold (default 100 events)
- Flush writes events as Parquet to journal/ directory
- Query: GET /journal/history/{entity_id} — full history of any record
- Query: GET /journal/recent?limit=50 — latest events across all entities
- Convenience methods: record_insert, record_update, record_ingest
- Stats: GET /journal/stats — buffer size, persisted file count
- Manual flush: POST /journal/flush
- Per ADR-012: events are never modified or deleted
This is the single most important future-proofing decision.
Once history is lost, it's gone forever.
