root dbe00d018f Federation foundation + HNSW trial system + Postgres streaming + PRD reframe
Four shipped features and a PRD realignment, all measured end-to-end:

HNSW trial system (Phase 15 horizon item → complete)
- vectord: EmbeddingCache, harness (eval sets + brute-force ground truth),
  TrialJournal, parameterized HnswConfig on build_index_with_config
- /vectors/hnsw/trial, /hnsw/trials/{idx}, /hnsw/trials/{idx}/best,
  /hnsw/evals/{name}/autogen, /hnsw/cache/stats
- Measured on resumes_100k_v2 (100K × 768d): brute-force 44ms -> HNSW 873us
  at 100% recall@10. ec=80 es=30 locked as HnswConfig::default()
- Lower ec values trade recall for build time: 20/30 = 0.96 recall in 8s,
  80/30 = 1.00 recall in 230s

Catalog manifest repair
- catalogd: resync_from_parquet reads parquet footers to restore row_count
  and columns on drifted manifests
- POST /catalog/datasets/{name}/resync + POST /catalog/resync-missing
- All 7 staffing tables recovered to PRD-matching 2,469,278 rows

Federation foundation (ADR-017)
- shared::secrets: SecretsProvider trait + FileSecretsProvider (reads
  /etc/lakehouse/secrets.toml, enforces 0600 perms)
- storaged::registry::BucketRegistry — multi-bucket resolution with
  rescue_bucket read fallback and reachability probing
- storaged::error_journal — bucket op failures visible in one HTTP call
- storaged::append_log — write-once batched append pattern (fixes the RMW
  anti-pattern llms3.com calls out; errors and trial journals both use it)
- /storage/buckets, /storage/errors, /storage/bucket-health,
  /storage/errors/{flush,compact}
- Bucket-aware I/O at /storage/buckets/{bucket}/objects/{*key} with
  X-Lakehouse-Rescue-Used observability headers on fallback

Postgres streaming ingest
- ingestd::pg_stream: DSN parser, batched ORDER BY + LIMIT/OFFSET pagination
  into ArrowWriter, lineage redacts password
- POST /ingest/db — verified against live knowledge_base.team_runs
  (586 rows × 13 cols, 6 batches, 196ms end-to-end)

PRD realignment (2026-04-16)
- Dual use case: staffing analytics + local LLM knowledge substrate
- Removed "multi-tenancy (single-owner system)" from non-goals
- Added invariants 8-11: indexes hot-swappable, per-reader profiles,
  trials-as-data, operational failures findable in one HTTP call
- New phases 16 (hot-swap generations), 17 (model profiles + dataset
  bindings), 18 (Lance vs Parquet+sidecar evaluation)
- Known ceilings table documents the 5M vector wall and escape hatches
- ADR-017 (federation), ADR-018 (append-log pattern) added
- EXECUTION_PLAN.md sequences phases B-E with success gates and
  decision rules
