Found via a real-world integration audit against omni-cortex (a JEPA-based
cognitive architecture built on clawhdf5 as its tiered Working/Episodic/
Semantic memory store).
- Add DatasetBuilder::with_u64_data (crates/clawhdf5-format/type_builders.rs).
The read side already has read_u64/read_as_u64, but there was no
symmetric write-side builder — only signed with_i32_data/with_i64_data
existed. Every consumer needing full-range u64 (timestamps, IDs) had to
bit-cast through i64 via `i64::from_ne_bytes(v.to_ne_bytes())` on write
and reverse it on read. omni-cortex does this in at least 6 places
across its writer/reader/mmap-reader/consolidate crates. Confirmed the
new builder round-trips full-range u64 (including values with the high
bit set) end-to-end in a standalone sanity check mirroring their usage.
- Fix Dataset::read_selection(&Selection::All) to route through the same
per-file chunk cache read_raw()/read_f64() etc. already use, instead of
the uncached read_chunked_data path. Selection::All is semantically a
full read; there's no reason two ways of asking for "everything" should
have different caching behavior. Also gains read_raw()'s virtual-dataset
resolver support for free. omni-cortex's Reader/mmap-reader/consolidate
crates all call read_selection(&Selection::All) for their chunked/
compressed dataset reads, so this was a real, if currently low-traffic
(single-pass read pattern), inconsistency in the public API's behavior.
- README: fix a stale crate-map claim that clawhdf5-filters supports
"blosc" compression — it never did (the crate only ever held
fast_deflate.rs; lz4/zstd/pcodec/szip filters live in clawhdf5-format).
New tests: u64_data_roundtrip, read_selection_all_matches_read_raw_on_chunked_dataset.
README.md:
- Fix badly stale LongMemEval numbers (badge said Hit@5 46%, table showed
fabricated ~46%/~0.34/~72% figures that never matched BENCHMARKS.md's
actual results of Hit@5 100% session / 84.4% turn-level, MRR 1.0/0.6597)
- Remove clawhdf5-types from the Crate Map — that crate was removed in an
earlier cleanup pass but the README diagram was never updated; fix the
crate count (16, not 17) and stale line-of-code figures (72,087/84K -> ~92K)
- Fix a dead #benchmarks badge anchor (no such heading exists) -> #performance
- Document the new clawhdf5-ann `parallel` feature (had no Feature Flags entry)
- Note WAL's CRC32 per-entry check, link the new tank LongMemEval/SIMD/
vector-search reproduction section, update stale test-count comment
(417+ -> 1,650+) and Phase 2 roadmap blurb (LongMemEval is now done)
ROADMAP.md:
- Check off "Academic benchmark cross-validation" (done via the tank
LongMemEval re-run) and add a new "Recently closed out" section
summarizing the Tier 3-4 hardening pass (Android JNI validation, pyo3
bump, WAL CRC32, bounds-check audit + fuzz harness that found 3 real
bugs, HNSW optional parallel feature, workspace.dependencies)
- Update stale test count (1,546 -> 1,650+) and last-updated date
CLAUDE.md: mention WAL's per-entry CRC32 check
CHANGELOG.md: add Security/Performance/Architecture/Documentation entries
under Unreleased summarizing all of Tiers 1-4 (this had not been touched
since 2026-06-04, predating the entire hardening pass)
- Fix version skew: clawhdf5-py (pyproject.toml 1.93.0 -> 2.1.0) and
packages/clawhdf5-node (package.json 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0) were both behind
the actual crate version.
- Correct stale ROADMAP.md claims: the TypeScript bridge already has a
complete napi-rs package (not "no package.json"); CI/CD is now wired
up via .gitea/workflows/ci.yml.
- Fix CLAUDE.md: clawhdf5-gpu uses wgpu with hand-written WGSL compute
shaders, not CubeCL.
- chunked_read.rs: drop 12 unnecessary chunk_dimensions[..rank].to_vec()
allocations — all three callees already accept &[u32].
- btree_v1.rs: add an overflow-safe ensure_len(data, offset, needed)
helper (checked_add) and use it at the two plain-arithmetic bounds
guards, closing a usize-overflow edge case reachable from a crafted
near-usize::MAX B-tree offset. Add a regression test.
- Clarify that the integrity hashes in clawhdf5-agent/provenance.rs
(FNV-1a) and clawhdf5-format/provenance.rs (SHA-256) are unkeyed and
only detect accidental corruption, not tampering — doc-only change.
- README.md: document that the mpi-io feature's read/write paths are
root-read+broadcast / gather-to-rank-0, not true collective I/O.
- README's "HDF5 Core I/O" table claimed 19ns/2,080µs labeled 308× (real ratio
~109,000×) and a 313ns zero-copy mmap figure — neither traced to any dated
benchmark in BENCHMARKS.md. Replaced the table wholesale with the existing
"vs libhdf5 Summary" figures, relabeled from "h5py/C HDF5" to "libhdf5"
(BENCHMARKS.md never benchmarks against h5py, only libhdf5 directly).
- Added two new Criterion benchmarks to close the coverage gaps that produced
the untraceable numbers: metadata_open_from_disk (I/O-inclusive, fair
clawhdf5-vs-libhdf5 file-open comparison) and metadata_parse_in_memory
(clawhdf5-only, explicitly labeled as excluding I/O) in h5bench_meta.rs;
read_zerocopy_mmap in h5bench_read.rs (forces real page-ins by summing
elements rather than just returning a slice length — the mmap path turns
out to be slower than a plain copy at these sizes, an honest, unflattering
but real result now documented instead of a fabricated 313ns).
- Re-ran the full existing benchmark suite plus the two new ones on a second,
independently administered machine (tank: Ryzen 7 7800X3D) to validate the
numbers before publishing them. 5 of 6 rows landed within ~15% of the
original i7-12650H figures; recorded both in BENCHMARKS.md's new
"Independent Validation" section. README now cites the tank numbers.
- Added a short top-of-file README callout naming both halves of the project
(general-purpose HDF5 library vs. agent memory layer) with links to
BENCHMARKS.md and the Crate Map, so a data-infra reader isn't 60% through
a memory-store pitch before finding the part relevant to them.
- Added one factual, no-names line noting benchmark numbers are being
validated in collaboration with HDF5 Group engineers.
- Fixed the same untraceable "2-300x faster than h5py/C HDF5" / "313 ns"
claims in docs/QUICKSTART.md, one click from the README's own "New here?"
link.

Add features = ["zstd"] to clawhdf5-bench dev-dependency so the
write_2d_chunked_zstd benchmark no longer panics with UnsupportedFilter(32015).
Update BENCHMARKS.md and README.md with measured results from the full
h5bench write suite (2026-06-30, post write-performance improvements):
- Zstd-3 hits 593 MiB/s at 512×512 vs deflate-6's 280 MiB/s (2.12×)
- Zstd-3 hits 330 MiB/s at 128×128 vs deflate-6's 132 MiB/s (2.51×)
- Sequential f64 batch write improved ~8-11% from owned-Vec IO path

- Add the `hnsw` flag (default-on) to the agent feature table and the
fast-deflate/system-zlib/fast-checksum/lz4/zstd/blake3 flags to the format
table.
- Add entity_extract and async_memory to the agent module overview.

Sweep of the docs after the v2.0.0 rename and recent changes:
- Per-crate READMEs (13 files): rename leftover rustyhdf5-*/edgehdf5-*
package names and badges to clawhdf5-*, bump usage versions to 2.1.0.
- README: update stale test badge (417 -> 1500+), workspace stats
(15 crates/72K -> 17 crates/84K), agent crate stats (20.7K/32 modules),
and add the missing clawhdf5-napi and clawhdf5-bench crates to the tree.
- CLAUDE.md: correct the CLI subcommand list (inspect/dump/index/search ->
the actual create/save/search/recall/stats/flush-wal/agents-md/export/snapshot).
No code changes. Verified there are zero todo!()/unimplemented!() macros and
no TODO/FIXME comments in the tree.
