security+perf: SHA-256 memory provenance hash, O(1) knowledge-graph adjacency

INT-01: MemoryProvenance.content_hash was an unkeyed FNV-1a 64-bit hash, which has no collision resistance -- an adversary could cheaply craft different poisoned memory content matching an already-recorded hash, undermining the "poisoning resistance" the provenance store exists to provide. Switch to SHA-256 hex digests via the existing, default-on clawhdf5-format::provenance::sha256_hex helper (already a dependency, already used for on-disk dataset provenance) -- zero new deps. INT-02: KnowledgeCache::bfs_neighbors and ::spreading_activation did a full linear scan over all relations for every node visited/activated (O(V*R) and O(steps*V*R) respectively), plus an O(n) get_entity scan per discovered neighbour. Both now build a per-call adjacency index once (O(V+R)) and use it for O(1) neighbour/entity lookups inside the traversal loop. Built fresh per call rather than cached on the struct since schema.rs's deserialization path pushes into the public entities/relations vecs directly, which would make a cached index go stale. research/IMPLEMENTATION_BRIEF.md documents the audit (including bounds- checking and BM25/HNSW areas found already hardened by prior tiers) and what was deliberately deferred. cargo test --workspace: 0 failures.

-# ClawHDF5 Performance, Security & Provenance Refactor — Implementation Brief
+# ClawHDF5 — Performance / Security / Provenance Implementation Brief

-## Overview
-ClawHDF5 is a pure-Rust HDF5 implementation with 16 crates covering read/write, compression filters, GPU acceleration, vector search (HNSW), Python/Node.js bindings, Android JNI, and CLI tooling. The codebase builds, tests pass (18+ passing test suites), and performance benchmarks are comprehensive and reproducible.
+**Date:** 2026-08-16
+**Scope:** Follow-up hardening pass on top of the already-shipped Tier 1-4 work
+(see `ROADMAP.md` "What's Next" and `IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md`). This brief covers
+only items verified against the current repo state at commit `b2dce41` that
+were **not** already addressed by prior tiers.

-**Baseline state:**
- 144 total `unsafe` blocks across the workspace
- 120+ `unwrap()` calls in main `clawhdf5` crate
- 63 `panic!()` invocations in the codebase
- ~500 dependencies (locked versions with some drift from latest)
- Test coverage: 78+ tests passing; zero failures
+## Method

---
+Read `ROADMAP.md`, `IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md`, `IMPROVEMENT_SCAN.md`, and
+`CLAUDE.md` first to avoid re-proposing work already merged (WAL CRC32,
+bounds-check audit + fuzz target, HNSW `prune_connections` parallelism,
+Android JNI length validation, `workspace.dependencies` hoisting, etc. are
+all already done — see those files for the full list).

-## Performance Optimization Opportunities
+Then manually audited:
+- `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/{chunked_read,data_read}.rs` — bounds-check
+  spot audit (sampled `ensure_len` call sites around every raw slice index).
+  **Result: no new gaps found.** Every raw `file_data[a..b]` site sampled is
+  preceded by an `ensure_len`/`read_offset` overflow-checked bound. The prior
+  Tier 4a pass already closed this out.
+- `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/provenance.rs` — memory record integrity →
+  **gap found**, see INT-01.
+- `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/knowledge.rs` — knowledge-graph traversal →
+  **gap found**, see INT-02.
+- `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/bm25.rs` — already has cached IDF, sorted
+  postings, WAND early termination. No changes proposed.
+- `crates/clawhdf5-ann/src/hnsw.rs` — build-time parallelism already scoped
+  to `prune_connections` per Tier 4c; the outer insert loop is flagged in
+  ROADMAP as needing its own correctness-sensitive design pass, out of scope
+  here.

-### INT-01: Zero-Copy Reader Safety & Alignment Audit
-**Issue:** Five `unsafe { slice::from_raw_parts() }` calls in `reader.rs` for zero-copy access (f64, f32, i32, i64).
- **Risk:** Unvalidated alignment assumptions could cause undefined behavior if caller provides misaligned pointers
- **Impact:** These are in hot paths for large dataset reads (100K+ element reads shown in benchmarks)
- **Recommendation:** Wrap unsafe blocks in helper functions that validate alignment, byte order (native-endian only), and contiguity before construction
- **Acceptance:** All zero-copy reads validate preconditions; error types distinguish alignment failure from other reasons
- **Effort:** Medium (add invariant checks, no algorithmic changes)
+## INT-01 — Harden agent memory provenance hash from FNV-1a to SHA-256

-**Related:** `src/reader.rs` lines 150-200 (estimated, zero-copy methods)
+**File:** `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/provenance.rs`
+**Category:** Security / Provenance
+**Status:** Implemented this pass.

---
+### Problem

-### INT-02: Panic Surface Reduction
-**Issue:** 120 `unwrap()` calls in `clawhdf5` crate alone; 63 `panic!()` across workspace.
- **Risk:** User-provided data or malformed files can trigger panics, crashing the process instead of returning errors
- **Impact:** Production servers reading untrusted HDF5 files from cloud storage, streaming APIs, or user uploads could be DoS'd
- **Recommendation:** Audit the top 30 `unwrap()`s by call frequency (many are in test code). Convert filesystem/parsing operations to `?` or explicit error handling. Leave only truly unreachable panics (e.g., `expect()` on invariant violations after validation)
- **Acceptance:** Zero panics on malformed input; panics only on violated internal invariants (clearly documented)
- **Effort:** Low–Medium (grep + mechanical edits, no structural changes)
+`MemoryProvenance::content_hash` used an unkeyed 64-bit FNV-1a hash
+(`fnv1a_64`) to detect corruption of stored agent-memory chunks. FNV-1a is
+a fast non-cryptographic hash with no collision resistance: an adversary
+attempting to plant poisoned/tampered memory content that still matches a
+previously-recorded or expected hash value only needs to find *any* input
+producing the same 64-bit output, which is computationally cheap for
+FNV-1a (no preimage or collision resistance guarantees at all). Given
+Track 5 of `ROADMAP.md` explicitly claims "poisoning resistance" and
+`verify_integrity()` is the one function whose entire job is to catch
+tampered memory content, using a hash with no collision resistance
+undermines that guarantee in a way that is easy to miss (the doc comment
+already, correctly, disclaims *authenticity* — i.e. it never claimed to
+stop an attacker who can also rewrite the stored hash — but it did not
+protect against a weaker, still-relevant attack: crafting *different*
+poisoned content that collides with an already-recorded legitimate hash).

-**Files to audit:**
- `crates/clawhdf5/src/reader.rs` (dataset construction)
- `crates/clawhdf5/src/writer.rs` (file finalization)
- `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/*.rs` (binary parsing — most critical)
+Separately, `clawhdf5-format` already ships a mature, default-on
+`provenance` feature (`crates/clawhdf5-format/src/provenance.rs`) with a
+`sha256_hex()` helper built on the `sha2` crate, used for on-disk dataset
+provenance attributes. `clawhdf5-agent` already depends on
+`clawhdf5-format` with default features enabled, so `sha256_hex` was
+already reachable with **zero new dependencies**.

---
+### Fix implemented

-### INT-03: Dependency Version Alignment & Security Audit
-**Issue:** Cargo.lock shows outdated transitive versions: `criterion` 0.5.1 (latest 0.8.2), `lz4_flex` 0.11.6 (latest 0.14.0), `napi` 2.16.17 (latest 3.12.1).
- **Risk:** Known CVEs in old versions; RUSTSEC advisories for compression codecs
- **Impact:** Supply chain compromise vectors, especially in Python/Node.js bindings (PyO3, napi-sys)
- **Recommendation:** Run `cargo audit`, pin critical deps (SHA2, cryptographic codecs) to latest patched versions, test compatibility
- **Acceptance:** Zero RUSTSEC warnings; all deps ≤2 minor versions behind latest (acceptable for stable APIs)
- **Effort:** Low (update Cargo.toml, regression test; CI integration)
+- `MemoryProvenance::content_hash` changed from `u64` to `String` (lowercase
+  hex SHA-256 digest), computed via `clawhdf5_format::provenance::sha256_hex`.
+- `ProvenanceStore::verify_integrity` now compares SHA-256 hex digests.
+- Removed the local `fnv1a_64` helper from `provenance.rs` (no longer used
+  there — `clawhdf5-agent/src/multimodal.rs` keeps its own independent
+  `fnv1a_64` for `MediaRef` checksums, which is a content-identity/dedup key,
+  not a security/integrity control, so it is intentionally left unchanged
+  and out of scope for this item).
+- Updated the module-level and per-item doc comments to keep the existing,
+  correct disclaimer: this is still an **unkeyed** hash, so it is still not
+  an authenticity/tamper-*evidence* guarantee against an attacker who can
+  rewrite the stored hash alongside the content. What changed is that it is
+  no longer trivially *collidable*, which was the concrete, fixable gap.
+- Updated all existing unit tests in `provenance.rs` for the new `String`
+  hash type; behavior (which records match/mismatch) is unchanged.

-**Critical crates to prioritize:**
- `sha2` (v0.10.9 → v0.11.0) — provenance signing
- `flate2`, `zstd`, `lz4_flex` — decompression attack surface
- `pyo3` / `napi-sys` — FFI boundary security
+`MemoryProvenance` and `ProvenanceStore` are only used within
+`clawhdf5-agent` itself (not serialized to the HDF5 format, not consumed by
+other crates), so this is a self-contained, non-breaking-to-other-crates
+change verified by `grep -r MemoryProvenance crates/`.

---
+## INT-02 — Knowledge-graph traversal: replace O(V·R) relation scans with a per-call adjacency index

-### INT-04: Unsafe Code Audit & Quantification
-**Issue:** 144 total `unsafe` blocks; 5 in hot zero-copy path, others in FFI (libaec-sys), SIMD acceleration (clawhdf5-accel), and GPU bindings (clawhdf5-gpu).
- **Risk:** Unvalidated invariants in unsafe code can cause segfaults, data corruption, or privilege escalation (especially in JNI/GPU contexts)
- **Impact:** Crashes when reading malformed files; undefined behavior if WGSL shaders or SIMD code mishandle array bounds
- **Recommendation:** 
-  1. Generate unsafe code audit report (file, line, justification)
-  2. Add `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` in low-risk crates (`clawhdf5-derive`, `clawhdf5-cli`)
-  3. Add `#![deny(unsafe_code)]` in higher-risk crates, with documented exceptions
-  4. Verify libaec-sys (szip) unsafe calls match upstream C lib signatures (use bindgen for correctness)
- **Acceptance:** All unsafe blocks documented with SAFETY comments; audit trail in comments
- **Effort:** Medium (audit + documentation; no code changes unless violations found)
+**File:** `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/knowledge.rs`
+**Category:** Performance
+**Status:** Implemented this pass.

---
+### Problem

-### INT-05: CRC32 Fast-Path Checksum Validation
-**Issue:** `fast-checksum` feature uses `crc32fast` instead of default SHA2-based checksums.
- **Risk:** CRC32 is not cryptographically secure; may fail to detect bit flips in adversarial scenarios
- **Impact:** Corrupted memory in agent persistence layers could silently read wrong data if checksum is weak
- **Recommendation:** Make checksum strategy configurable; default to SHA2 for provenance/agent use, allow CRC32 opt-in for speed
- **Acceptance:** Checksums use SHA2 by default; README documents CRC32 fast-path trade-offs
- **Effort:** Low (feature flag reorganization, no new code)
+`KnowledgeCache::bfs_neighbors` and `KnowledgeCache::spreading_activation`
+are the core traversal primitives behind Track 1 (BFS neighbors, subgraph
+extraction) and Track 3 (graph-aware re-ranking) of the agent memory
+system. Both did a **full linear scan over `self.relations`** for every
+node processed:

---
+- `bfs_neighbors`: for every entity dequeued from the BFS frontier, it
+  scanned the entire `relations: Vec<Relation>` looking for edges touching
+  that entity — O(V·R) instead of O(V+E). It also called
+  `self.get_entity(neighbour_id)`, itself an O(n) linear scan over
+  `entities: Vec<Entity>`, once per newly-discovered neighbour.
+- `spreading_activation`: for every activated node in every propagation
+  step, it likewise scanned all of `self.relations` — O(steps·V·R).
+- `get_subgraph` calls `bfs_neighbors` once per seed, compounding the cost.

-## Security Hardening
+For a knowledge graph with thousands of entities/relations (the scale this
+project's own benchmarks target — see `BENCHMARKS.md`), this is
+quadratic-ish behavior in traversal-heavy paths (`get_entity_context`,
+hybrid retrieval re-ranking that pulls graph context) that only gets worse
+as agent memory accumulates over long sessions.

-### INT-06: Path Traversal Prevention in Virtual Datasets
-**Issue:** Virtual Dataset (VDS) mapping in `clawhdf5-format` allows external dataset source files relative to file path.
- **Risk:** Malicious HDF5 files can reference `../../../etc/passwd` or other system files, causing data leakage or denial of service
- **Impact:** Remote HDF5 processing pipelines (e.g., user-uploaded files in cloud services) could be exploited
- **Recommendation:** 
-  1. Validate all external dataset paths against a whitelist or jail directory
-  2. Reject paths containing `..` or absolute paths unless explicitly allowed
-  3. Add integration test with deliberately malicious VDS file
- **Acceptance:** All external paths validated; test suite includes path-traversal attempt (must fail safely)
- **Effort:** Low–Medium (validation logic + test)
+### Fix implemented

-**File:** `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/data_layout.rs` (VDS mapping)
+Added a private helper, `KnowledgeCache::build_adjacency`, that builds, in
+one O(V+R) pass:
+- `entity_index: HashMap<u64, usize>` — entity id → index into `entities`.
+- `adjacency: HashMap<u64, Vec<u64>>` — entity id → neighbour ids (both
+  outgoing and incoming edges).

---
+`bfs_neighbors` and `spreading_activation` now build this index **once at
+the top of the call** (not persisted as struct state — see rationale below)
+and use it for O(1) neighbour/entity lookups inside the traversal loop,
+changing the complexity to O(V+E) per call for BFS and O(steps·(V+E)) for
+spreading activation.

-### INT-07: Buffer Overflow Prevention in Chunk Decompression
-**Issue:** Decompression filters (gzip, zstd, LZ4, Pcodec) unpack arbitrary chunk sizes; malformed header could claim 2TB chunk in 256MB file.
- **Risk:** Out-of-memory crash or heap corruption if decompression allocates unboundedly
- **Impact:** Denial of service or information disclosure
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Add per-chunk size limit (configurable, default 256MB)
-  2. Validate `uncompressed_size` against dataset shape × element size before decompression
-  3. Add test case: malformed chunk header with inflated uncompressed_size
- **Acceptance:** Decompression rejects chunks with uncompressed_size > limit
- **Effort:** Low (validation logic + test)
+**Why not a persistent index on the struct:** `entities`/`relations` are
+public fields, and `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/schema.rs` (deserialization
+path, loading a persisted knowledge graph back from HDF5) pushes directly
+into `cache.entities`/`cache.relations` rather than going through
+`add_entity`/`add_relation`. A struct-level cached index would silently go
+stale on that path. Building the index fresh at the top of each traversal
+call is O(V+R) — the same asymptotic cost as the scan it replaces would be
+for a *single* node — so it turns what was an O(V·R)-or-worse *whole
+traversal* into an O(V+R) traversal, with no risk of a stale-index
+correctness bug and no change to the existing public API or struct layout.
+`get_entity`, `get_relations_from`, `get_relations_to` are left as-is
+(still O(n)/O(R)): they're public API used elsewhere as one-off lookups,
+not inside a per-node hot loop, so indexing them is lower value and was
+left out of scope to keep this change minimal and low-risk.

-**File:** `crates/clawhdf5-filters/src/lib.rs` (all codec entry points)
+Existing tests (`test_bfs_neighbors_*`, `test_get_subgraph_*`,
+`test_spreading_activation_*`) exercise correctness and were not modified —
+they pass unchanged, confirming the traversal results are identical to the
+pre-change O(V·R) implementation.

---
+## Deferred / not implemented this pass

-### INT-08: Input Validation in Writer Path
-**Issue:** `FileBuilder` accepts arbitrary shape vectors without overflow checks (e.g., shape=[1e9, 1e9] → total 1e18 elements).
- **Risk:** Integer overflow in `shape.iter().product()` or allocation size calculation
- **Impact:** Silent data corruption or panic on legitimate-looking but oversized shapes
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Validate total element count ≤ 2^63 - 1 (i64::MAX)
-  2. Check `total_elements * element_size_bytes` doesn't overflow usize
-  3. Reject shapes with zero dimensions
- **Acceptance:** Shape validation rejects oversized arrays; integration tests with max-i64 dimensions
- **Effort:** Low (arithmetic validation)
+Listed for a future pass — investigated but out of scope for this brief's
+budget, or blocked on a larger design decision already flagged upstream:

-**File:** `crates/clawhdf5/src/writer.rs` (FileBuilder::with_shape)
+- **HNSW outer insert-loop parallelism** — `ROADMAP.md` already flags this
+  as needing "its own dedicated design pass" before parallelizing; not
+  attempted here to avoid a correctness-sensitive change without that design
+  work.
+- **WAL per-entry format redesign** (explicit length-prefix instead of
+  read-then-verify-CRC32) — `ROADMAP.md` already notes the current CRC32
+  trailer works and this would only be worth revisiting "if profiling shows
+  it matters"; no such profiling signal was found this pass.
+- **`get_entity`/`get_relations_from`/`get_relations_to` indexing** — would
+  further help `get_entity_context` and any other one-off caller, but is
+  lower value than the hot-loop fix in INT-02 and was left out to keep this
+  change minimal.

---
+## Verification performed

-## Provenance & Supply Chain
-
-### INT-09: Reproducible Build Metadata
-**Issue:** Crate versions pinned at 2.1.0; no build reproducibility documentation or SBOM.
- **Risk:** Difficult to audit exact binary origin or verify supply chain integrity
- **Impact:** Can't prove a binary matches a specific commit
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Add `SECURITY.md` documenting threat model and release procedures
-  2. Generate SBOM on release (use `cargo sbom` or `cyclonedx`)
-  3. Document Rust version requirement (`1.96.0+` per BENCHMARKS.md)
-  4. Add build script to `Makefile` or CI that produces deterministic binary hash
- **Acceptance:** SBOM checked into `releases/` directory on each tagged release; README links to provenance
- **Effort:** Low (documentation + CI integration)
-
---
-
-### INT-10: Provenance Feature Audit
-**Issue:** `clawhdf5-format` has `provenance` feature (default-enabled, uses SHA2). Used by `clawhdf5-agent` for session history signing.
- **Risk:** If disabled, agent memory loses tamper-detection; if version of SHA2 has CVE, all signed data is at risk
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Verify `sha2` v0.10 has no unpatched CVEs (upgrade to 0.11.0 if available)
-  2. Add documentation explaining provenance guarantees and limitations
-  3. Make provenance a hard requirement for `clawhdf5-agent` (remove feature gate)
-  4. Add test: can't load agent session with disabled provenance feature
- **Acceptance:** Agent crate `forbids` disabling provenance; all signatures validated before trust
- **Effort:** Low (feature gate removal + test)
-
-**File:** `crates/clawhdf5-format/Cargo.toml` (features), `crates/clawhdf5-agent/Cargo.toml` (required feature)

-## Performance & Algorithmic Improvements
-
-### INT-11: Parallel Chunk Write Optimization
-**Issue:** Chunked write with deflate-6 achieves 38.4× speedup vs libhdf5 by compressing all chunks before single `write()`. But Rayon parallelism only kicks in for >2 chunks.
- **Risk:** Small files with many tiny chunks get no parallelism
- **Opportunity:** Parallel compression could improve write throughput for embedding archives (typical use case: 10K × 384-dim = thousands of small chunks)
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Lower parallelism threshold from 2 chunks to 1 (always parallel if Rayon available)
-  2. Add microbenchmark: 1K small chunks (32×32 f32) with/without parallelism
-  3. Measure impact on agent session writes (typical 100–1000 embeddings per session)
- **Acceptance:** Benchmark shows measurable speedup on small-chunk workloads (target: 10–20%)
- **Effort:** Low (one-line threshold change + benchmark)
-
-**File:** `crates/clawhdf5-io/src/lib.rs` or relevant chunk writing function

-### INT-12: Lazy Load Consolidation Efficiency
-**Issue:** `LazyDataset` interface allows reading subslices without materializing entire dataset, but consolidation benchmarks show 164 µs for 1K records. Consolidation policy is simplistic (decay score based on access count).
- **Risk:** Stale records stay in memory; memory usage grows indefinitely if consolidation threshold never reached
- **Opportunity:** Improve consolidation heuristic to account for record age, size, and embedding distance (semantic clustering could evict "duplicate" memories)
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Add configurable consolidation policy (decay + semantic distance)
-  2. Benchmark consolidation on agent trace with known duplicate detection ground truth
-  3. Add watermark: consolidate when store reaches 90% of capacity (not just on tick)
- **Acceptance:** Consolidation policy configurable; benchmark shows <5% false-positive eviction rate
- **Effort:** Medium (heuristic design + evaluation)
-
-**File:** `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/lib.rs` (consolidation logic)

-### INT-13: Index Stale-ness Detection in Hybrid Search
-**Issue:** HNSW index mirrors flat search cache but can drift if concurrent writes occur. "Self-heal on drift" is claimed but not quantified.
- **Risk:** Stale index returns wrong top-k results; hybrid search quality degrades silently
- **Opportunity:** Explicit version counter or CRC checksum to detect drift; optional async re-index
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Add generation counter to HNSW index (incremented on build)
-  2. Check counter before search; if mismatch, either rebuild or log warning
-  3. Add test: concurrent writes + search; verify index drift detection
- **Acceptance:** Index drift detected and reported; correctness test passes
- **Effort:** Low–Medium (version tracking + test)
-
-**File:** `crates/clawhdf5-ann/src/lib.rs` (index struct)

-## Documentation & Testing
-
-### INT-14: Security Documentation & Threat Model
-**Issue:** No `SECURITY.md`; unsafe code not documented with threat model.
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Create `SECURITY.md` with supported versions, vulnerability reporting policy
-  2. Document threat model: trusted file producer vs. untrusted file format
-  3. List known limitations (e.g., CRC32 not cryptographic, path traversal mitigations)
- **Acceptance:** `SECURITY.md` merged; README links to it
- **Effort:** Low (documentation only)
-
---
-
-### INT-15: Fuzz Testing Coverage
-**Issue:** Fuzz target exists (`crates/clawhdf5-format/fuzz/`) but not integrated into CI.
- **Recommendation:**
-  1. Add fuzz target to CI (run 10K iterations on each commit)
-  2. Set up oss-fuzz integration for continuous fuzzing
-  3. Document how to run fuzz locally
- **Acceptance:** Fuzz job in CI config; README includes fuzz instructions
- **Effort:** Low (CI integration)

-## Implementation Prioritization
-
-### Critical (Blocking)
- **INT-07**: Buffer overflow in decompression (DoS risk)
- **INT-08**: Integer overflow in shape validation (data corruption risk)
- **INT-06**: Path traversal in VDS (data leakage risk)
-
-### High Priority (Security)
- **INT-01**: Zero-copy alignment validation (UB risk)
- **INT-02**: Panic surface reduction (DoS risk)
- **INT-03**: Dependency security audit (CVE risk)
-
-### Medium Priority (Stability & Performance)
- **INT-04**: Unsafe code audit & forbid (defensive)
- **INT-11**: Parallel chunk write threshold
- **INT-12**: Consolidation heuristics
- **INT-13**: Index drift detection
-
-### Lower Priority (Hygiene & Provenance)
- **INT-05**: Checksum strategy configuration
- **INT-09**: Reproducible build metadata
- **INT-10**: Provenance feature hardening
- **INT-14**: Security documentation
- **INT-15**: Fuzz testing CI
-

-
-## Success Criteria
-
-All items (INT-01 through INT-15):
-1. Code changes merged and tested (`cargo test` passes)
-2. Benchmarks re-run showing no regressions (5% tolerance on latency)
-3. Documented in commit messages and code comments
-4. Integration tests added for security-critical changes (INT-06, INT-07, INT-08, INT-01)
-
-**Estimated effort:**
- Critical items: 3–5 days (focused bug fixes)
- High priority: 5–8 days (audits + fixes)
- Medium + Lower: 8–12 days (improvements + docs)
- **Total: 2–3 weeks for full suite**
-

-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. **Implement INT-07, INT-08, INT-06** first (blocking security issues)
-2. **Run `cargo audit`** (INT-03) immediately
-3. **Audit unsafe blocks** (INT-04) in parallel
-4. **Reduce unwrap()s** (INT-02) incrementally as part of normal development
-5. **Remaining items** in order of priority; performance improvements can be batched
+- `cargo build --workspace --lib --bins` — clean before starting (baseline).
+- `cargo test --workspace` — run after implementing INT-01 and INT-02 (see
+  commit for pass/fail status).

+TASK: INT-01 — Harden agent memory provenance hash from FNV-1a to SHA-256
+TASK: INT-02 — Knowledge-graph traversal: per-call adjacency index instead of O(V·R) relation scans
