Five threads of work landing as one milestone — all individually
verified end-to-end against real data, full release build clean,
46 unit tests pass.
## Phase 16.2 / 16.5 — autotune agent + ingest triggers
`vectord::agent` is a long-running tokio task that watches the trial
journal and autonomously proposes + runs new HNSW configs. Distinct
from `autotune::run_autotune` (synchronous one-shot grid). Triggered
on POST /vectors/agent/enqueue/{idx} or by the periodic wake; ingest
paths now push DatasetAppended events when an index's source dataset
gets re-ingested. Rate-limited (max_trials_per_hour) and cooldown-
gated so it can't saturate Ollama under live load.
The proposer is ε-greedy around the current champion: with prob 0.25
sample random from full bounds, otherwise perturb champion ± small
delta on both axes. Dedup against history. Deterministic — RNG seeded
from history.len() so the same journal state proposes the same next
config (helps offline replay debugging).
`[agent]` config section in lakehouse.toml; opt-in via enabled=true.
## Federation Layer 2 — runtime bucket lifecycle + per-index scoping
`BucketRegistry.buckets` moved to `std::sync::RwLock<HashMap>` so
buckets can be added/removed after startup. POST /storage/buckets
provisions at runtime; DELETE /storage/buckets/{name} unregisters
(refuses primary/rescue with 403). Local-backend buckets get their
root directory auto-created.
`IndexMeta.bucket` (default "primary" via serde) records each index's
home bucket. `TrialJournal` and `PromotionRegistry` now hold
Arc<BucketRegistry> + IndexRegistry; they resolve target store per-
index via IndexMeta.bucket. PromotionRegistry::list_all scans every
bucket and dedups by index_name. Pre-federation indexes keep working
unchanged — they just default to primary.
`ModelProfile.bucket: Option<String>` declares per-profile artifact
home. POST /vectors/profile/{id}/activate auto-provisions the
profile's bucket under storage.profile_root if not yet registered.
EvalSets stay primary-only for now — noted gap, low-risk to extend
later with the same resolver pattern.
## Phase 17 — VRAM-aware two-profile gate
Sidecar gains POST /admin/unload (Ollama keep_alive=0 trick — forces
immediate VRAM release), POST /admin/preload (keep_alive=5m with
empty prompt, takes the slot warm), and GET /admin/vram (combines
nvidia-smi snapshot with Ollama /api/ps). Exposed via aibridge as
unload_model / preload_model / vram_snapshot.
`VectorState.active_profile` is the GPU-slot singleton —
Arc<RwLock<Option<ActiveProfileSlot>>>. activate_profile checks for
a previous profile with a different ollama_name and unloads it
before preloading the new one; same-model reactivations skip the
unload (Ollama no-ops). New routes: POST /vectors/profile/{id}/
deactivate (unload + clear slot), GET /vectors/profile/active.
Verified live: staffing-recruiter (qwen2.5) → docs-assistant
(mistral) swap freed qwen2.5 from VRAM and loaded mistral. nomic-
embed-text persists across swaps because both profiles use it —
free optimization that fell out of the design. Scoped search
correctly 403s cross-profile in both directions.
## MySQL streaming connector
`crates/ingestd/src/my_stream.rs` mirrors pg_stream.rs for MySQL.
Pure-rust `mysql_async` driver (default-features=false to avoid C
deps). Same OFFSET pagination, same Parquet-streaming write shape.
Type mapping per ADR-010: int/bigint → Int32/Int64, decimal/float
→ Float64, tinyint(1)/bool → Boolean, everything else → Utf8 with
fallback parsers for date/time/json/uuid via Display.
POST /ingest/mysql parallel to /ingest/db. Same PII auto-detection,
same lineage capture (source_system="mysql"), same agent-trigger
hook. `redact_dsn` generalized — was hardcoded to "postgresql://"
length, now works for any scheme://user:pass@host/path URL (latent
PII leak fix for MySQL DSNs).
Verified live against MariaDB on localhost: 10 rows × 9 columns of
test data round-tripped through datatypes int/varchar/decimal/
tinyint/datetime/text. PII detection auto-flagged name + email.
Aggregation queries through DataFusion match the source values
exactly.
## Phase 18 — Hybrid Parquet+HNSW ⊕ Lance backend (ADR-019)
`vectord-lance` is a new firewall crate. Lance pulls Arrow 57 and
DataFusion 52 — incompatible with the rest of the workspace's
Arrow 55 / DataFusion 47. The firewall isolates that dep tree:
public API uses only std types (Vec<f32>, Vec<String>, Hit, Row,
*Stats), so no Arrow types cross the crate boundary and nothing
propagates to vectord. The ADR-019 path that didn't ship until now.
`vectord::lance_backend::LanceRegistry` lazy-creates a
LanceVectorStore per index, resolving bucket → URI via the
conventional local-bucket layout. `IndexMeta.vector_backend` and
`ModelProfile.vector_backend` carry the choice (default Parquet so
existing indexes unchanged).
Six routes under /vectors/lance/*:
- migrate/{idx}: convert binary-blob Parquet → Lance FixedSizeList
- index/{idx}: build IVF_PQ
- search/{idx}: vector search (embed via sidecar)
- doc/{idx}/{doc_id}: random row fetch
- append/{idx}: native fragment append
- stats/{idx}: row count + index presence
Verified live on the real resumes_100k_v2 corpus (100K × 768d):
- Migrate: 0.57s
- Build IVF_PQ index: 16.2s (matches ADR-019 bench; 14× faster than
HNSW's 230s for the same data)
- Search end-to-end (Ollama embed + Lance scan): 23-53ms
- Random doc_id fetch: 5-7ms (filter scan; faster than Parquet's
~35ms full-file scan, slower than the bench's 311us positional
take — would close that gap with a scalar btree on doc_id)
- Append 100 rows: 3.3ms / +320KB on disk vs Parquet's required
full ~330MB rewrite — the structural win
- Index survives append; both backends coexist cleanly
## Known follow-ups not in this milestone
- ModelProfile.vector_backend doesn't yet auto-route /vectors/profile/
{id}/search to Lance; callers go through /vectors/lance/* directly
- Scalar btree on doc_id (closes the 5-7ms → ~300us gap)
- vectord-lance built default-features=false → no S3 yet
- IVF_PQ recall not measured (ADR-019 caveat) — needs a Lance-aware
variant of the eval harness
- Watcher-path ingest doesn't push agent triggers (HTTP paths do)
- EvalSets still primary-only (federation gap)
- No PATCH endpoint to move an existing index between buckets
- The pre-existing storaged::append_log doctest fails to compile
(malformed `{prefix}/` parses as code fence) — pre-existing bug,
left for a focused fix

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.

- 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.
