 ### Weight sweep — full haystack, n=500
 `0.7/0.3` was a documented default, never a searched one. Sweeping
 `vector_weight` from 0.0 to 1.0 (`--sweep`, reusing the one-time embedding
 table) shows it is not merely suboptimal but **strictly dominated**:
 | vector / keyword | Hit@1 | Hit@5 | Hit@10 | MRR | session Hit@5 |
 |---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 0.0 / 1.0 (BM25) | **53.8%** | 75.0% | 81.6% | 0.6320 | 93.6% |
 | 0.1 / 0.9 | 53.2% | 77.4% | 83.8% | 0.6374 | 95.0% |
 | 0.2 / 0.8 | 53.6% | 78.2% | 85.6% | 0.6440 | 95.4% |
 | 0.3 / 0.7 | 53.2% | 78.8% | 87.2% | **0.6463** | 96.0% |
 | **0.4 / 0.6** | 51.6% | **81.4%** | 87.8% | 0.6429 | 96.8% |
 | 0.5 / 0.5 | 48.2% | **81.4%** | **88.2%** | 0.6234 | **97.4%** |
 | 0.6 / 0.4 | 46.6% | 79.8% | 87.4% | 0.6069 | 96.6% |
 | 0.7 / 0.3 *(old default)* | 44.4% | 79.2% | 86.0% | 0.5868 | 95.8% |
 | 0.8 / 0.2 | 40.6% | 76.2% | 85.4% | 0.5571 | 95.2% |
 | 0.9 / 0.1 | 37.8% | 73.4% | 84.6% | 0.5289 | 94.2% |
 | 1.0 / 0.0 (vector) | 36.0% | 71.8% | 81.6% | 0.5027 | 94.2% |
 **`0.4/0.6` beats `0.7/0.3` on every metric at both granularities** — Hit@1
 +7.2pp, Hit@5 +2.2, Hit@10 +1.8, MRR +0.056. There is no trade being made; the
 old default was simply on the wrong side of the peak. **`0.4/0.6` is the
 recommended setting**, with `0.3/0.7` preferable if rank-1 precision matters
 most (it takes the best MRR in the sweep and gives up only 0.6pp of Hit@1
 against pure BM25).
 **Correction.** An earlier revision of this section, measuring only `0.7/0.3`,
 concluded that fusion "buys deeper recall and pays for it at rank 1" and advised
 callers taking a single top hit to prefer BM25. That was an artifact of the
 badly-chosen weight, not a property of fusion. At `0.3/0.7` hybrid *beats* BM25
 on MRR (0.6463 vs 0.6320) and on Hit@5 (78.8% vs 75.0%) while costing 0.6pp of
 Hit@1. The advice below is corrected accordingly.
 **Hybrid wins, once the weights are right.** At the old `0.7/0.3` the picture
 looked like a trade: best at Hit@5 and Hit@10, worse than BM25 at Hit@1 and MRR.
 The sweep above shows that was the weight, not fusion. At `0.4/0.6` hybrid leads
 Hit@5 and Hit@10 outright; at `0.3/0.7` it also leads MRR and is within 0.6pp of
 BM25 at Hit@1. Both dominate `0.7/0.3`.
 The rows below are kept at the three original settings because they are what the
 mode ablation measured — read them as "the shape of each stage in isolation",
 and take the operating point from the sweep.
 The same pattern shows up independently in omni-cortex's four-signal RRF ablation,
 where adding BM25 to a dense retriever raised nDCG@5 while lowering Hit@1 and MRR.
 Two different codebases, two different fusion schemes, same direction.
 Vector-only being *worse* than BM25 at every turn-level cutoff except Hit@10 is
 worth stating plainly rather than hiding: LongMemEval questions share substantial
 vocabulary with their evidence turns, which is close to the best case for lexical
 matching, and MiniLM at 384 dimensions is a small embedding model.

 ### Oracle variant — `longmemeval_oracle`, n=500 (easier corpus, kept for continuity)
 | Metric | ClawhDF5 (BM25-only, oracle variant) |
 |--------|--------------------------------------|
 | Hit@1 | 52.6% |
 | Hit@5 | **84.4%** |
 | Hit@10 | 90.4% |
 | MRR | 0.6597 |
 Turn-level. The 9.4-point gap between this and the full haystack's 75.0% is the
 price of the harder corpus, and is the reason oracle-only numbers should not be
 presented as LongMemEval results. Session-level figures on this variant are
 degenerate — see below.
 With real embeddings the same oracle corpus gives BM25-only 84.2% / vector-only
 80.4% / hybrid **85.2%** Hit@5 turn-level — hybrid ahead at Hit@5 and Hit@10 and
 behind at Hit@1, matching the full-haystack pattern above. (BM25-only reads 84.2%
 here against 84.4% with zero embedding vectors: one question of 500 changes rank,
 with MRR identical at 0.6597. On the full haystack the two agree exactly.)
 ### Retracted: session-level recall and the MemX comparison
 Earlier revisions of this file reported session-level Hit@1/5/10 of **100.0%** with
 MRR **1.0000**, uniform across all six question types, and claimed clawhdf5
 "outperforms MemX at turn-level retrieval (84.4% vs 51.6%)". **Both are withdrawn.**
 **The session-level numbers are a degenerate artifact.** On the `longmemeval_oracle`
 variant, the ingested haystack for a question consists essentially only of that
 question's evidence sessions. Every returned document therefore belongs to an answer
 session, so session-level hit rate is ≈1.0 at rank 0 *by construction* — which is
 exactly why the result was a uniform 100.0% across every question type. It measured
 the shape of the corpus, not the retriever.
 **The MemX comparison was not like-for-like on two independent axes.** MemX
 ([arxiv:2603.16171](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.16171)) reports Hit@5 = 51.6% /
 MRR = 0.380 at **fact-level granularity over 220,349 fact-level records drawn from
 19,195 sessions**, and explicitly notes that fact-level "doubl[es] session-level
 performance." Our 84.4% is **turn-level, on the oracle subset**. Different retrieval
 granularity, and a corpus smaller by orders of magnitude. A higher number on an
 easier corpus at a different granularity is not an outperformance claim, and it
 should not have been presented as one.
 The full-haystack half of that gap is now closed: the section above reports
 `longmemeval_s` over all 500 questions. The **granularity** mismatch remains — MemX
 measures fact-level, we measure turn-level and session-level — so no cross-system
 claim is made here even now. Matching granularity would require fact-level
 extraction over the haystack, which this harness does not do.

 ## World-Model Sample Loading (vs h5py / stable-worldmodel shape)
 Reproduces the access pattern of `stable-worldmodel`'s HDF5 dataloader
 ([arXiv 2605.21800](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.21800), LeCun/Balestriero
 group), which supports HDF5 as one of three native formats and measures
 generic HDF5 at **1,416-1,474 samples/s** (vs Lance 4,815) for per-frame
 sample loading. This benchmark measures **clawhdf5 vs h5py on the same
 machine and the same file**, so the comparison is hardware-controlled.
 **Absolute numbers are not comparable to the paper's** - different hardware
 (AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, local NVMe, warm page cache), smaller frames, and no
 torch-tensor / transform step. Only the clawhdf5-vs-h5py ratio *here* is a
 controlled result. The workload is the dataloader shape: a `(N, H, W, C)`
 uint8 observation dataset (20,000 x 64x64x3 = 246 MB), each frame read once
 per pass in a fixed shuffled (random-access) order, 10 passes.
 Both read a **file written by h5py** - clawhdf5 parsing an
 externally-produced HDF5 file is itself the interop result. h5py opens SWMR
 with a 256 MB chunk cache, exactly `stable-worldmodel`'s `HDF5Dataset`; it
 materialises each frame as a numpy array (`d[i]`) and sums it. clawhdf5
 mmaps once, takes a zero-copy `&[u8]` over the contiguous dataset, and
 indexes frame `i` as a subslice.
 | Reader | samples/sec (median of 3) | vs h5py |
 |--------|---------------------------|---------|
 | **clawhdf5** (zero-copy view) | **593,000** | **8.1x** |
 | **clawhdf5** (materialised copy per frame) | **518,000** | **7.1x** |
 | h5py (swmr, 256 MB cache) | 73,000 | 1.0x |
 The **materialised-copy row is the fair, equal-work comparison** - it
 `to_vec()`s every frame so clawhdf5 pays the same per-frame allocation h5py
 does, and it is still **7.1x faster**. That the copy costs almost nothing
 (518k vs 593k) shows the h5py gap is **per-frame call overhead** (Python +
 library dispatch), not data movement. This is an in-page-cache measurement:
 it isolates the read-path overhead both libraries add on top of the OS,
 which is the thing that differs - not disk bandwidth, which is shared.

 Higher than the i7-12650H figures at the top of this file (avg 1,004 µs) despite
 tank's faster single-core performance elsewhere in this document — BM25 search
 latency here scales with per-question haystack size and this run's variance is
 wider (p99 is ~5x the mean), suggesting this metric is more sensitive to
 momentary scheduling/cache effects than the flat-array vector-search benchmarks.
 Recorded as-is rather than smoothed.
 ### SIMD & Parallelism (reproduction, with a correction)
 ```bash
 cargo bench -p clawhdf5-agent --bench bench -- "^(strategy_scalar_10k|strategy_simd_10k|strategy_rayon_10k|adaptive_search_10k|simd_cosine_100k|rayon_cosine_100k)$"
 ```
 The original 10K table above compares named benchmarks (`vector_search`,
 `rayon`, `strategy`) that, on inspection, don't all exercise the same
 scalar-vs-SIMD-vs-parallel axis the table implies — several of the
 `simd_cosine_10k`/`sequential_cosine_10k`-style benchmarks actually call the
 same underlying function under different names. The `adaptive_benches` group's
 `strategy_scalar_10k` / `strategy_simd_10k` / `strategy_rayon_10k` benchmarks
 are the ones that genuinely hold the dataset fixed and vary only the
 `SearchStrategy` enum, so they're the correct apples-to-apples comparison —
 used here instead.
 | Strategy | Latency (tank) | vs Sequential |
 |----------|-----------------|----------------|
 | Sequential (scalar) | 502 µs | 1.0x |
 | SIMD (auto-vectorized) | 327 µs | **1.53x** |
 | Rayon (parallel) | 323 µs | **1.55x** |
 | Adaptive (auto-select) | 339 µs | **1.48x** |
 Honest finding: the speedup from SIMD/parallelism over scalar is real but
 smaller here (~1.5x) than the i7-12650H figures above (~2.0x). The Ryzen 7
 7800X3D's large L3 cache (96MB 3D V-Cache) measurably narrows the gap versus a
 naive scalar loop compared to the i7 — this is a genuine hardware-dependent
 result, not a regression or measurement error, and is recorded rather than
 reconciled away.
 At 100K, no `strategy_*` benchmark exists in the current suite (`adaptive_benches`
 only covers n=10,000), so this row uses the same `simd_cosine_100k`/
 `rayon_cosine_100k` benchmarks as the original table — not a true scalar
 baseline, so no "vs Sequential" multiple is reported for it:

 in the current suite — not re-verified, left blank rather than guessed.)
 Same not-like-for-like caveat as the "Comparison to MemX" section at the top of this
 file applies — MemX's figure is end-to-end, these are a single component. Ratios are
 an order-of-magnitude indication, not a benchmark result.

 single-core throughput and larger cache observed in the vs-libhdf5 validation

 # Changelog
-## Unreleased
+## v2.2.0 (2026-09-18)
 ### Security
 - `clawhdf5-format`: bounded decompression output (`MAX_DECOMPRESS_SIZE`) for
  deflate/lz4/zstd/pcodec so a crafted compressed chunk can't drive an
  unbounded allocation (memory-exhaustion DoS).
 - `clawhdf5-format`: `chunked_read.rs`/`data_read.rs`/`local_heap.rs` bounds
  audit — added `ensure_len` overflow guards at every plain-arithmetic
  offset+size check, a recursion-depth guard against a crafted
  self-referencing/cyclic B-tree chunk index, a fix for an unguarded
  compound-datatype `byte_offset` overrun in `read_compound_fields`, and an
  `ndims - 1` underflow guard for degenerate zero-dimension chunked layouts.
  Added a new `fuzz_dataset_read` cargo-fuzz target (walks every dataset in a
  parsed file and exercises the contiguous/chunked/compact raw-data read
  paths) which found and fixed 3 real crash bugs — an integer-multiply
  overflow in `copy_chunk_to_output`'s N-D assembly path, the `ndims - 1`
  underflow above, and an overflow in `local_heap.rs` — within the first few
  fuzzing runs.
 - `clawhdf5-format`: `btree_v1.rs` overflow-safe bounds checks via a local
  `ensure_len` helper, closing a `usize`-overflow panic reachable from a
  crafted near-`usize::MAX` B-tree offset.
 - `clawhdf5-agent`: WAL length-prefix caps (`MAX_WAL_FIELD_LEN`, 64 MiB) reject
  a corrupted/truncated length claim before allocating. Followed by a full
  per-entry CRC32 trailer (`WAL_VERSION` bumped to 2) — a bit-flip inside an
  entry now stops replay cleanly instead of silently accepting corrupted
  data. Old-format WAL files are still read correctly and migrated to the new
  format on next open.
 - `clawhdf5-android`: validate `embedding_len`/`query_embedding_len` against
  the handle's configured `embedding_dim` (and reject null pointers) before
  constructing a slice from a raw pointer in `edgehdf5_save` /
  `edgehdf5_hybrid_search`.
 - `clawhdf5-py`: bump pyo3/numpy `0.28` → `0.29`, clearing two RUSTSEC
  advisories (OOB read in `PyList`/`PyTuple` iterator; missing `Sync` bound on
  `PyCFunction::new_closure`).
 - Clarified that the integrity hashes in `clawhdf5-agent::provenance`
  (FNV-1a) and `clawhdf5-format::provenance` (SHA-256) are unkeyed and detect
  only accidental corruption, not tampering — doc-only change, no behavior
  change.
 ### Performance
 - `clawhdf5-format`: chunk cache lookup is now O(1) (`slot_index: HashMap`)
  instead of a linear scan, and cache hits return a shared `Arc` instead of
  cloning the decompressed buffer — the hottest path in chunked reads.
 - `clawhdf5-ann`: optional `parallel` feature (rayon) parallelizes HNSW's
  `prune_connections` neighbor-distance computation. The outer build/insert
  loop is deliberately left sequential — it has genuine cross-iteration data
  dependencies and needs its own correctness-focused design pass.
 - `clawhdf5-format/chunked_read.rs`: removed 12 unnecessary
  `chunk_dimensions[..rank].to_vec()` allocations where callees already
  accept `&[u32]`.
 ### Architecture
 - Added `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, actually wiring the long-existing
  `scripts/ci-test.sh` (fmt, clippy, tests, no_std check) into CI on every
  push/PR to `main`. Fixed stale package names in `ci-test.sh`/
  `check-nostd.sh` that had been silently no-op'ing the `clawhdf5-py`
  exclusion and the no_std check.
 - Fixed a genuine no_std build break in `clawhdf5-format` (uncovered once the
  no_std CI check actually started running): `core::sync::atomic::AtomicU64`
  doesn't exist on `thumbv7em-none-eabihf` (switched to `portable-atomic`),
  missing `alloc` imports for `Box`/`Vec`/`format!` on a few no_std paths, and
  `f64::powi` (std/libm-only) replaced with a local exponentiation-by-squaring
  helper in the scale-offset filter.
 - Added `[workspace.dependencies]` for `tempfile`/`criterion`/`half`/`serde`,
  fixing a real version skew on `half` (`2` vs `2.7` across crates).
 - Fixed version skew: `clawhdf5-py` (`pyproject.toml`) and
  `packages/clawhdf5-node` (`package.json`) were both behind the actual crate
  version (2.1.0).
 - Documented that the `mpi-io` feature's read/write paths are root-read
  +broadcast / gather-to-rank-0, not true collective I/O.
 ### Documentation
 - BENCHMARKS.md: re-ran the previously-undated "LongMemEval Results", "SIMD &
  Parallelism", and "Vector Search Latency"/"Comparison to MemX" sections on
  a second machine (tank, Ryzen 7 7800X3D) with explicit dates and reproduce
  commands. Found and corrected a methodology issue in the SIMD/Parallelism
  benchmark selection (several originally-compared benchmarks didn't actually
  isolate the scalar/SIMD/parallel axis).
 - README.md / ROADMAP.md / CLAUDE.md: corrected several stale facts —
  the `clawhdf5-types` crate (removed earlier) was still listed in the
  README crate map; the LongMemEval numbers in the README badge and table
  didn't match the actual (much better) benchmark results in BENCHMARKS.md;
  total line-of-code and test-count figures were stale; `clawhdf5-gpu`'s
  CubeCL→wgpu correction; documented the new `clawhdf5-ann` `parallel`
  feature flag, which had no entry in the Feature Flags table.

  Independently reported (with a patch) against the v2.1.0 tag by
  M. Scot Breitenfeld (The HDF Group) — v2.1.0 predates this fix.
 - `clawhdf5-format`: parse HDF5 2.0 native complex datatypes (class 11,
  datatype version 5, e.g. `H5T_COMPLEX_IEEE_F64LE`). The properties are a
  single base floating-point datatype, not a compound-style member list; the
  old parser read the base type's bytes as member names, producing a garbage
  datatype, and failed with `UnexpectedEof` when a complex type was nested in
  a compound. It is now surfaced as the equivalent `{r, i}` compound (the
  shape h5py writes for numpy complex dtypes), with a size check against the
  base type. Validated end-to-end against an HDF5 2.0-written file.

  reachable through the one-time migration path in `HDF5Memory::open`, not
  through the public `WalFile::read_entries`.
 - `Dataset::verify_provenance()` (clawhdf5 facade, `provenance` feature, on by
  default) recomputes a dataset's SHA-256 and compares it against the
  `_provenance_sha256` attribute written automatically on save when
  `DatasetBuilder::with_provenance` is used. It's opt-in per call, not run
  automatically on open — it decodes and hashes the whole dataset. The hash
  is unkeyed (tamper-*evident*, not tamper-*proof*): it detects accidental
  corruption, not a deliberate actor able to modify both the data and the
  stored hash.
 - `clawhdf5-agent`'s `HDF5Memory::save`/`save_batch`/`save_or_update` run every
  write through an in-memory (session-scoped, not persisted to disk)
  provenance ledger and write-anomaly detector: a content hash per record
  (`provenance.rs`) for detecting accidental mid-session corruption, plus
  rate-limit/injection-pattern/source-distribution checks (`anomaly.rs`).
  Alerts never block a save — drain them with `HDF5Memory::take_anomaly_alerts`.
  `MemorySource` for this bookkeeping is inferred from the caller-supplied
  `source_channel` string (a heuristic, not an authenticated trust boundary).

-> ¹ Enable embeddings via `hybrid_search(query_emb, text, 0.7, 0.3, k)` for substantially higher recall. The vector stage is served by the HNSW index by default (the `hnsw` feature is on by default); build with `--no-default-features --features float16` to fall back to an exact linear cosine scan.
+Hybrid is the strongest configuration, which is what running two retrieval stages
 is for. The weights matter more than the stages: a sweep of `vector_weight` from
 0.0 to 1.0 found the long-standing `0.7/0.3` default is **strictly dominated** by
 `0.4/0.6` — better on Hit@1, Hit@5, Hit@10 and MRR at both granularities. Use
 `0.4/0.6`, or `0.3/0.7` if rank-1 precision matters most. See
 [BENCHMARKS.md § Weight sweep](BENCHMARKS.md#longmemeval-results).
 Vector embeddings require `--features embeddings`; without it the vector stage is
 inert and only the BM25 row is produced, which is what every previously published
 number here measured.
 On the easier `longmemeval_oracle` variant (evidence sessions only) the same
 harness scores 84.4% turn-level Hit@5 / MRR 0.6597, reproduced identically on a
 second machine. The 9.4-point gap is the cost of the real haystack, and is why the
 full-haystack number is the one quoted here.
 This is **retrieval recall** (did the gold memory appear in the top-k), not the
 official LongMemEval QA-accuracy metric — the two are not comparable, and
 retrieval recall reported as QA accuracy typically overstates by 20–30 points.

 - [x] Academic benchmark cross-validation — LongMemEval reproduced against MemX on tank (Ryzen 7 7800X3D): turn-level Hit@5 84.4% vs MemX's 51.6%; recall numbers are deterministic and reproduce exactly across machines. SIMD/Parallelism and Vector Search sections also re-run and dated. See [BENCHMARKS.md § Independent Validation: tank — LongMemEval & Vector Search](BENCHMARKS.md#independent-validation-tank--longmemeval--vector-search-ryzen-7-7800x3d-2026-08-05)
 - [x] Android JNI (`clawhdf5-android`): validate `embedding_len`/`query_embedding_len` against the handle's configured `embedding_dim` before constructing a slice from a raw pointer
 - [x] `clawhdf5-py`: bumped pyo3/numpy 0.28 → 0.29, clearing two RUSTSEC advisories
 - [x] WAL (`clawhdf5-agent`): length-prefix caps (`MAX_WAL_FIELD_LEN`) to reject a corrupted length claim before allocating, then a full per-entry CRC32 trailer (`WAL_VERSION` 2) so a bit-flip stops replay cleanly instead of loading corrupted data; old-format WAL files still read correctly and are migrated on next open
 - [x] `chunked_read.rs`/`data_read.rs`/`local_heap.rs` bounds-check audit: added `ensure_len` overflow guards, a recursion-depth guard against cyclic B-trees, and a fix for an unguarded compound-datatype byte-offset overrun. Added a new `fuzz_dataset_read` cargo-fuzz target exercising the contiguous/chunked/compact read paths — it found and we fixed 3 real crash bugs (integer-overflow panics) within the first few runs
 - [x] `clawhdf5-ann`: optional `parallel` feature (rayon) for HNSW's `prune_connections` neighbor-distance computation
 - [x] `[workspace.dependencies]` added for `tempfile`/`criterion`/`half`/`serde`, fixing a real version skew on `half` (2 vs 2.7)
 ### Recently closed out (2026-08-05 hardening pass)
 - [x] CI/CD pipeline — `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` now runs `scripts/ci-test.sh` (fmt, clippy, tests, no_std check) on push/PR to `main`
 - [x] Fixed no_std build breakage in `clawhdf5-format` (missing alloc imports, `AtomicU64` unsupported on thumbv7em, `f64::powi` requiring std/libm)
 - [x] Fixed version skew: `clawhdf5-py` (pyproject.toml) and `packages/clawhdf5-node` (package.json) were both behind the actual crate version

 //! World-model sample-loading benchmark — clawhdf5 vs the h5py counterpart.
 //!
 //! Reproduces the access pattern of `stable-worldmodel`'s HDF5 dataloader
 //! (arXiv 2605.21800): a dataset of `(N, H, W, C)` uint8 observation frames,
 //! read one frame at a time in shuffled (dataloader) order. That paper
 //! reports generic HDF5 at 1,416–1,474 samples/s (vs Lance 4,815); this
 //! measures clawhdf5 and h5py on the **same machine and file**, so the
 //! comparison is hardware-controlled. Absolute numbers are not comparable to
 //! the paper's (different box, smaller frames, no torch/transform) — only
 //! clawhdf5-vs-h5py *here* is.
 //!
 //! clawhdf5 mmaps the file once and takes a zero-copy `&[u8]` over the
 //! contiguous observation dataset; frame `i` is a subslice, and the OS pages
 //! it in on access. Two modes, because fairness demands both:
 //!   * default: sum the frame bytes through the zero-copy view — clawhdf5's
 //!     real advantage, no per-frame allocation;
 //!   * `--copy`: `to_vec()` each frame first, matching h5py's unavoidable
 //!     per-frame numpy materialization, so the two do equal work.
 //!
 //! Usage: `... --example worldmodel_sampling -- <file.h5> [passes] [--copy]`

 ## Compound datatype message version 5 is not parsed (HDF5 2.0)
 **Status:** fixed on `main` in `a13ff51` (2026-06-03); **not in the v2.1.0
 tag**, which was cut five commits earlier. Ships in the next release.
 **Reported by:** M. Scot Breitenfeld (The HDF Group), 2026-09-08, against v2.1.0.
 **Summary:** `clawhdf5-format` v2.1.0 rejects any dataset with a compound
 (struct) datatype written by an HDF5 2.0 library in `libver='latest'` mode:
 `InvalidDatatypeVersion { class: 6, version: 5 }`.
 **Reproduction** (h5py 3.16.0 / HDF5 2.0.0):
 ```python
 import h5py, numpy as np
 dt = np.dtype([('x', 'f8'), ('y', 'f8'), ('id', 'i4')])
 data = np.array([(1.0, 2.0, 10), (3.0, 4.0, 20)], dtype=dt)
 f = h5py.File('compound.h5', 'w', libver='latest')
 f.create_dataset('particles', data=data)
 f.close()
 ```
 Committed as `crates/clawhdf5-format/tests/writer_h5py_tests.rs::read_h5py_generated_compound`
 (`#[ignore]`d; needs `python3` with h5py on `PATH`). Run with
 `cargo test -p clawhdf5-format --test writer_h5py_tests -- --include-ignored`:
 v2.1.0 gives 25 passed / 1 failed; `main` passes everything.
 **Root cause:** the compound (class 6) branch of `Datatype::parse`
 (`crates/clawhdf5-format/src/datatype.rs`) accepted only versions 1–4. Datatype
 message versions 4 and 5 changed only the Reference and Complex classes, so a
 v5-tagged compound uses the unchanged v3 member-list layout.
 **Fix:** versions 3–5 are accepted for compound (class 6) and array (class 10)
 datatypes, and data layout message version 5 is accepted too (needed for every
 chunked dataset written by HDF5 2.0). Byte-level regression tests:
 `test_compound_v5_from_hdf5_2_0`, `test_array_v5_from_hdf5_2_0`.
 ## Native complex datatype (class 11) is mis-parsed (HDF5 2.0)
 **Status:** fixed 2026-09-18. Found while validating the report above.
 **Summary:** HDF5 2.0 native complex types (`H5T_COMPLEX_IEEE_F64LE` etc.)
 were parsed as if they carried a compound-style member list. The properties are
 actually a single base floating-point datatype, so the parser produced a garbage
 datatype, or `UnexpectedEof` when the complex type was a compound member. h5py's
 default numpy-complex mapping is unaffected (it writes a `{r, i}` compound);
 only files using the native type through the C API / h5py low-level API hit this.
 **Fix:** class 11 parses its base type and is surfaced as the equivalent
 `{r, i}` compound. Tests: `test_complex_v5_from_hdf5_2_0`,
 `test_compound_with_complex_member_from_hdf5_2_0`,
 `writer_h5py_tests.rs::read_h5py_generated_native_complex`.
 ## Revised reference datatype (class 7, version 4) is not parsed
 **Status:** open, unconfirmed against a real file.
 **Summary:** HDF5 1.12+ `H5T_STD_REF` references use datatype version 4 with
 reference types 2–4 (object2 / region2 / attribute), which `Datatype::parse`
 rejects with `InvalidReferenceType`. h5py still writes the legacy v1
 object/region references, which read correctly, so no reproducing file has been
 generated yet; one written with the C API (`H5T_STD_REF`) is needed.
 ## `clawhdf5-gpu` `gpu_tests` can hang under the default parallel test runner
 **Status:** open. Observed 2026-09-18 (RTX 5060 Ti, Linux).
 **Summary:** during `cargo test --workspace`, the `gpu_tests` binary sat idle
 (~1% CPU) for 25+ minutes and had to be killed. Run single-threaded it passes
 in seconds (20/20): `cargo test -p clawhdf5-gpu --test gpu_tests -- --test-threads=1`.
 Suspected cause: several tests creating wgpu devices concurrently (possibly
 compounded by the rest of the workspace's tests loading the machine). Not yet
 root-caused; workaround is `--test-threads=1` for that crate.

 # Research: Performance — clawhdf5
 Scope: opportunities not already covered by the Tier 1-4 hardening passes
 recorded in `ROADMAP.md`/`CHANGELOG.md`/`IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md` (O(1) chunk
 cache, rayon-parallel `prune_connections`, workspace-hoisted deps, etc).
 ## Finding P1 — HNSW's hot distance loop is scalar despite an existing SIMD crate
 **Location:** `crates/clawhdf5-ann/src/hnsw.rs:47-74` (`compute_distance`), called
 from `greedy_closest` and `search_layer` — the innermost loop of both index
 build and every `hybrid_search` query.
 **Problem:** `compute_distance` is a plain per-component `for i in 0..a.len()`
 scalar loop for both the `L2` and `Cosine` metrics. The workspace already ships
 `clawhdf5-accel` with runtime-dispatched AVX2/NEON/scalar-fallback
 `l2_distance`/`cosine_similarity` (`crates/clawhdf5-accel/src/lib.rs:125,148`),
 and `clawhdf5-agent` already depends on and uses it for its own linear cosine
 scan. `clawhdf5-ann/Cargo.toml` simply never lists `clawhdf5-accel` as a
 dependency, so the ANN crate — the one place with the tightest, most-called
 distance loop in the whole codebase — is the one place not using it.
 **Fix implemented (INT-01):** Added `clawhdf5-accel` as a dependency of
 `clawhdf5-ann` and rewired `compute_distance` to call
 `clawhdf5_accel::l2_distance` / `clawhdf5_accel::cosine_similarity` (mapping
 `1.0 - similarity` for the cosine-distance semantics the rest of the file
 expects). The accel crate already carries its own scalar fallback for
 platforms without AVX2/NEON, so no separate fallback branch is needed here.
 Existing `hnsw.rs` unit tests (build/search/serialize round-trip) validate
 behavior is unchanged; no format or public-API change.
 ## Finding P2 — `AsyncFileReader::read_at` reopens and re-stats the file on every call
 **Location:** `crates/clawhdf5-io/src/async_read.rs:90-104`.
 **Problem:** Each `read_at` call does `tokio::fs::File::open` +
 `.metadata()` + `seek` + `read_exact` — two extra syscalls (open + stat) on
 every single granular read, with no persistent handle and no buffering. This
 directly defeats the purpose of the "chunked/granular async access" this type
 is documented for; callers doing many small reads (e.g. chunked dataset
 iteration) pay file-open overhead per chunk.
 **Fix implemented (INT-02):** `AsyncFileReader` now lazily opens the file
 once and caches the open handle (plus its length) behind a `tokio::sync::Mutex`,
 so subsequent `read_at`/`len` calls reuse the already-open descriptor instead
 of reopening. First call pays one open+stat; every call after is just a
 seek+read (or a length lookup with no syscall at all, since length is cached
 at open time). Behavior (including short-read truncation semantics) is
 unchanged and covered by the existing `async_file_reader_*` tests.
 ## Not implemented — flagged for follow-up
 - **HNSW build-loop parallelism** (`hnsw.rs` insert loop) — ROADMAP already
  notes this needs its own correctness-sensitive design pass (insert order
  affects the graph, unlike `prune_connections`'s embarrassingly-parallel
  per-node distance computation). Left as-is; out of scope for this pass.

 # Research: Security — clawhdf5
 Scope: opportunities not already covered by the shipped hardening (WAL CRC32
 trailer / `WAL_VERSION` 2, `MAX_WAL_FIELD_LEN` field caps, Android JNI length
 validation, `chunked_read.rs`/`data_read.rs` bounds-check + fuzz pass,
 decompression-bomb output bound, etc — see `ROADMAP.md`).
 ## Finding S1 — WAL v2 still allocates untrusted field buffers before the CRC32 check runs
 **Location:** `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/wal.rs`, entry read path
 (`read_len_prefixed_str`/`read_embedding` helpers feeding into the `Save`
 entry parser around lines 340-380; CRC verification happens afterward at
 ~lines 246-255).
 **Problem:** Each `Save` entry currently contains three independent
 length-prefixed strings plus one length-prefixed embedding buffer. Each field
 is capped individually at `MAX_WAL_FIELD_LEN` (64 MiB) — but that cap is
 checked and then the buffer is **allocated immediately** as each field's
 length prefix is read, before the entry's trailing CRC32 is ever checked. A
 single corrupted entry (bit-flipped length prefixes) can therefore force up
 to ~4 allocations near 64 MiB each (~256 MB) before the CRC finally rejects
 it. This is exactly what `ROADMAP.md`'s "What's Next" section already flags
 as open: *"a stronger per-entry format (explicit length prefix, avoiding the
 read-then-verify restructuring) could still be revisited."*
 **Why not implemented in this pass:** Fixing this properly means a WAL format
 version bump (`WAL_VERSION` 3): frame each entry as one outer
 `[total_len: u32][entry_bytes][crc32: u32]`, read+CRC-check the whole raw
 entry buffer *first*, and only then parse the individual fields out of the
 already-verified buffer — mirroring the v1→v2 migration this file already
 does on open. That's a real, self-contained, well-testable change (the file
 already has a legacy-format migration test harness and corruption-detection
 tests to extend), but it touches the on-disk framing and the read/write pair
 needs to stay in lock-step, so it deserves its own dedicated
 implement-and-test pass rather than being bundled in alongside unrelated
 performance/provenance changes. Tracked as **INT-04** below for follow-up.
 ## Finding S2 — no dataset-level integrity check on the agent memory read path
 See `research/03_provenance.md` finding PR2 (`INT-06`) — closely related to
 security (corruption detection on read), tracked there since the mechanism
 (`ProvenanceStore::verify_integrity`) is a provenance primitive.

 # Research: Provenance — clawhdf5
 Scope: data lineage, source attribution, and tamper-evidence for both the
 low-level HDF5 format layer and the higher-level agent-memory / migration
 tools built on top of it.
 ## Finding PR1 — SHINES provenance (SHA-256 + creator/timestamp/source) is fully built and tested, but zero production write paths use it
 **Location:** `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/provenance.rs` (the whole module —
 `Provenance::build_attrs`, `sha256_hex`, `verify_dataset`) and
 `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/type_builders.rs:671-686`
 (`DatasetBuilder::with_provenance`, feature-gated on `provenance`, which is
 **on by default** in `clawhdf5-format`).
 **Problem:** This is a complete, working, already-tested feature — it writes
 `_provenance_sha256` / `_provenance_creator` / `_provenance_timestamp` /
 `_provenance_source` attributes on a dataset and can re-verify the hash later
 via `verify_dataset`. `grep -rl with_provenance crates/` shows it is
 exercised only by `clawhdf5-format`'s own tests/benches
 (`tests/robustness_tests.rs`, `tests/writer_h5py_tests.rs`,
 `benches/bench.rs`). Neither `clawhdf5-agent` (the memory backend) nor
 `clawhdf5-migrate` (the SQLite→HDF5 migration tool — the one place data
 crosses a genuine trust/source boundary) calls it. Concretely,
 `crates/clawhdf5-migrate/src/hdf5_writer.rs:24-28` sets only a handful of
 static root attributes (`agent_id`, `embedder`, `embedding_dim`, a *constant*
 `source="sqlite-migration"`, a *constant* `version=1`) — there is no source
 file path, no content hash of the source database, no migration timestamp,
 and `--incremental` runs (`main.rs` ~122-133) overwrite these same static
 attributes on every append, so a chain of incremental merges leaves no audit
 trail: a corrupted incremental append is indistinguishable after the fact
 from a clean one.
 **Fix implemented (INT-03):** Wired the *existing* SHINES provenance
 mechanism into the migration write path instead of inventing a new one:
 - `clawhdf5-migrate/src/hdf5_writer.rs`: the `embeddings` and `text` chunk
  datasets are now built with `.with_provenance("clawhdf5-migrate", <RFC3339
  timestamp>, Some(<source sqlite path>))`, so each migrated dataset carries
  a verifiable SHA-256 of its own bytes plus who/when/where it came from.
 - `clawhdf5-migrate/src/sqlite_reader.rs`: `SqliteData` gained a
  `source_path: String` field (the SQLite path actually read), threaded
  through `read_sqlite_filtered`.
 - `clawhdf5-migrate/src/main.rs`: the incremental-merge arm now carries the
  *current* run's `source_path` forward instead of silently keeping
  whatever the previous run recorded.
 - `clawhdf5-migrate/src/validate.rs`: `validate_hdf5` now also calls
  `clawhdf5_format::provenance::verify_dataset` on the embeddings dataset and
  fails validation on a hash mismatch, so migration validation catches
  post-write corruption, not just source/dest content drift.
 This directly closes the exact gap ROADMAP's "What's Next" implicitly left
 open (migration recorded no real lineage) using code that was already
 shipped, tested, and sitting unused one crate over — no new format version,
 no new dependency, minimal blast radius (2 struct-literal sites for the new
 `SqliteData` field, both updated).
 ## Finding PR2 — agent-level `MemoryProvenance`/`AnomalyDetector` are dead code on the real save path (ROADMAP claims Track 5 "complete")
 **Location:** `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/lib.rs` (`HDF5Memory::save` /
 `save_batch`, ~lines 538-572); `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/provenance.rs`
 (`MemoryProvenance`, `ProvenanceStore::verify_integrity`/`mark_verified`);
 `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/anomaly.rs` (`AnomalyDetector::check_rate_anomaly`
 / `check_pattern_anomaly` / `check_source_anomaly`).
 **Problem:** `ROADMAP.md` Track 5 ("Memory Security & Provenance") is marked
 🟢 Complete, but `save()`/`save_batch()` push straight into the in-memory
 cache + WAL without ever constructing a `MemoryProvenance` record, without
 ever calling any `AnomalyDetector` check, and without going through
 `SourceIsolation`. A `grep` for `provenance::`/`anomaly::` usage across the
 crate turns up only each module's own `#[cfg(test)]` block. So today a
 forged- or poisoned-source memory write is stored and later retrieved with
 zero attribution and zero anomaly screening, contradicting the shipped-status
 claim in the docs.
 **Why not implemented in this pass:** This is a real fix, but it is
 core-save-path surgery — it has to interact correctly with the WAL replay
 path (a provenance record written to cache but not WAL, or vice versa, would
 silently desync memory from the durable log on crash-recovery) and with
 `save_batch`'s different code path from `save`. That needs its own focused
 implement-and-test pass with the existing `provenance.rs`/`anomaly.rs` unit
 tests as a base, rather than being bundled in under time pressure alongside
 unrelated changes. Tracked as **INT-05** below.
 ## Finding PR3 — nothing on the retrieval path ever calls `verify_integrity`
 **Location:** `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/provenance.rs:128`
 (`ProvenanceStore::verify_integrity`), vs. `search.rs`/`hybrid.rs` (no
 callers).
 **Problem:** Even independent of PR2, nothing in the retrieval pipeline
 calls `verify_integrity` before returning a chunk to the caller, so
 corruption of stored chunk text is retrievable and usable without any check
 ever running.
 **Why not implemented in this pass:** Blocked on PR2/INT-05 landing first —
 `verify_integrity` needs a `MemoryProvenance` record to check *against*, and
 none are currently produced. Tracked as **INT-06**, sequenced after INT-05.

 # Implementation Brief — Performance, Security & Provenance
 **Phase:** Research
 **Date:** 2026-08-17
 **Scope:** `clawhdf5` Rust workspace (`/mission/repo`)
 ## Method
 Read `ROADMAP.md`, `IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, and recent
 `git log` before scoping this brief, to avoid re-proposing work already merged.
 The repo has already been through several hardening passes (Tier 1–4, see
 `CHANGELOG.md` "Unreleased" section and the `git log` entries tagged
 `security:`/`perf:`): bounds-check audits on `chunked_read.rs`/`data_read.rs`/
 `local_heap.rs`/`btree_v1.rs`, `MAX_DECOMPRESS_SIZE` output caps, WAL v2
 per-entry CRC32, Android JNI length validation, pyo3 bump, O(1) chunk-cache
 lookup with `Arc`-shared buffers, and optional rayon parallelism for HNSW
 `prune_connections`. None of that is re-proposed here.
 Four focused audits were run against the areas those passes did **not**
 cover: (1) the HDF5 binary parser files outside the already-audited set, plus
 `clawhdf5-accel`/`clawhdf5-gpu` unsafe code; (2) `clawhdf5-agent`'s
 query-time hot paths (search/rerank/consolidation/knowledge graph); (3) the
 provenance/anomaly-detection subsystem end-to-end; (4) error handling in
 `clawhdf5-io`, `clawhdf5-migrate`, `clawhdf5-py`, and the `clawhdf5` facade.
 `clawhdf5-accel` (SIMD dispatch), `clawhdf5-gpu` (no unsafe code, wgpu-mediated),
 `clawhdf5-io`, `clawhdf5-py`, and the `clawhdf5` facade crate were all found
 already sound for the failure modes investigated — no items proposed for
 those beyond what's listed below. Say so once here rather than padding the
 list with manufactured items.
 ---
 ## Section A — Parser crash safety (crafted-file DoS)
 These three files use raw `offset + N > file_data.len()` arithmetic instead
 of the `checked_add`-based `ensure_len` helper that every other parser in
 `clawhdf5-format` already uses (established pattern: `btree_v2.rs`,
 `global_heap.rs`, `fractal_heap.rs`, `shared_message.rs`, `local_heap.rs`'s
 own `ensure_len`, etc.). On a crafted file with an address field close to
 `u64::MAX`, the addition overflows — panicking in debug builds, silently
 wrapping in the release profile (no `overflow-checks` set anywhere in the
 workspace `Cargo.toml`), after which the bounds check passes falsely and the
 next slice operation panics anyway. Net effect either way: a crafted file
 crashes the parser instead of returning `Err`.
 ### INT-01 — `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/fixed_array.rs`, `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/extensible_array.rs`
 **Problem:** Six unguarded-addition bounds checks: `FixedArrayHeader::parse`
 (fixed_array.rs:69), the data-block header check in
 `read_fixed_array_chunks` (fixed_array.rs:129), `ExtensibleArrayHeader::parse`
 (extensible_array.rs:101), `read_extensible_array_data_block`
 (extensible_array.rs:278), the index-block parse (extensible_array.rs:429),
 and the super-block parse (extensible_array.rs:630). The offending offsets
 (`data_block_address`/`index_block_address`) come from `DataLayout::parse`
 (`data_layout.rs`, chunk_index_type 3/4 branches, ~lines 460–470), which only
 special-cases the exact all-`0xFF` sentinel via `is_undefined` — any other
 near-max value passes through unchanged.
 **Change:** Replace every raw `offset + N > file_data.len()` in both files
 with the `checked_add`-based `ensure_len` pattern already used elsewhere in
 the crate (e.g. mirror `local_heap.rs`'s `ensure_len`).
 ### INT-02 — `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/symbol_table.rs`
 **Problem:** `SymbolTableNode::parse` (line 83) uses raw
 `offset + 8 > file_data.len()`, unlike `read_offset` in the same file which
 already uses `checked_add`. `offset` is a SNOD address taken verbatim from a
 v1 B-tree leaf entry and passed straight through by `group_v1.rs:49` with no
 sentinel/range check — a crafted v1-group B-tree leaf with a near-`u64::MAX`
 child pointer overflows the check the same way as INT-01.
 **Change:** Use `offset.checked_add(8)` (`ensure_len` pattern) at line 83.
 Note: the `entries_start + num_symbols * entry_size` addition at line 106 has
 the same raw-arithmetic style, but `num_symbols` is `u16` so the multiply
 itself can't overflow — lower priority, but worth fixing for consistency in
 the same pass.
 ### INT-03 — `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/datatype.rs`
 **Problem:** `Datatype::parse` recurses into itself with no depth counter
 (`grep -n "depth" datatype.rs` — zero hits) for Compound members (lines 361,
 387), Enumeration base type (line 418), VariableLength base type (line 471),
 and Array base type (lines 497, 518). A message data size is capped at
 `u16::MAX` (65535 bytes; see `object_header.rs:141` v1, `object_header.rs:411`
 v2), so a crafted Compound-of-Compound-of-Compound... datatype message can
 nest ~8000 levels deep — enough to blow the stack, and materially worse on
 the project's documented no_std/embedded targets (`thumbv7em-none-eabihf`,
 per `CHANGELOG.md`) where available stack is a few KB. The changelog records
 this exact class of bug already fixed for the N-Bit filter's type tree, but
 that fix was never applied to the general `Datatype::parse` reader used for
 every Dataspace/Attribute/Dataset datatype message.
 **Change:** Thread a `depth: u16` counter through `Datatype::parse`'s
 recursive call sites (mirror `object_header.rs`'s continuation-depth guards)
 and return a new `FormatError::NestingDepthExceeded` past a fixed limit
 (suggest 64).
 ---
 ## Section B — Provenance & anomaly detection
 The most significant finding of this brief: **the provenance/anomaly
 subsystem exists and is tested, but is never invoked from the real save/load
 path.** It's a fully-built, unused API surface, not an active control.
 ### INT-04 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/provenance.rs`, `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/anomaly.rs`, `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/lib.rs`
 **Problem:** `ProvenanceStore`, `MemoryProvenance::new`, `verify_integrity`,
 `mark_verified`, `WriteAnomalyDetector`, `record_write`,
 `check_pattern_anomaly`, `check_rate_anomaly`, `check_source_anomaly` have
 zero callers outside their own module/tests. `lib.rs` only declares
 `pub mod provenance;` / `pub mod anomaly;` (lines 22, 33) — neither is
 referenced from `HDF5Memory::save_or_update` (~line 495) or the WAL replay
 path (`wal.rs::replay_into_cache`, line 311). Concretely: the 15
 injection-pattern checks, rate limiting, and content-hash integrity
 verification described as shipped in `ROADMAP.md` Track 5 never execute
 during normal library usage today.
 **Change:** Call `ProvenanceStore::add` and
 `WriteAnomalyDetector::record_write` + the `check_*` methods from
 `HDF5Memory::save_or_update`, and call `verify_integrity` from the
 open/load path (surfacing a mismatch to the caller, not panicking). If the
 intent is genuinely opt-in-only, that's a legitimate design choice, but it
 must be documented prominently at the crate root / in `CLAUDE.md` — right
 now it reads as an active control and isn't one.
 ### INT-05 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/lib.rs` (`MemoryEntry.source_channel`, ~line 167), `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/consolidation.rs` (`ConsolidationEngine::add_memory`, ~line 205)
 **Problem:** `source_channel: String` is free text set entirely by the
 caller of `save`/`save_or_update` — nothing validates it against an
 allowlist, so a write can claim `source_channel = "system"` or any other
 privileged-looking label. Separately, `add_memory` takes `source:
 MemorySource` (User/System/Tool/Retrieval/Correction) as a plain parameter;
 `MemorySource::Correction`/`System` get elevated importance weighting in
 `score_correction` (~line 133), so any caller can claim a trust level the
 content doesn't warrant.
 **Change:** Derive `MemorySource`/`source_channel` at the actual trust
 boundary (the ingestion layer that knows the true origin), not as a
 caller-supplied argument to the storage API. At minimum, gate
 `MemorySource::System`/`Correction` construction behind a distinct
 constructor not exposed to the same call path as untrusted content.
 ### INT-06 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/anomaly.rs` (`check_pattern_anomaly`, ~lines 192–195)
 **Problem:** Matching is `chunk.to_lowercase().contains(pattern.as_str())` —
 plain literal-substring test after case folding only. Inserting any
 character inside a pattern (extra whitespace, a zero-width character, `.`
 between letters) or substituting a homoglyph for one Latin letter defeats
 every one of the 15 injection patterns; there's no Unicode
 confusable-normalization or punctuation/whitespace stripping.
 **Change:** Normalize input before matching (strip zero-width characters and
 punctuation, apply NFKC + confusable-folding) or switch to fuzzy/token-based
 detection instead of raw `contains`.
 ### INT-07 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/anomaly.rs` (`check_rate_anomaly`, ~lines 149–151)
 **Problem:** The per-minute rate check uses a single global sliding window
 (`self.window.len()`) across all sessions/sources combined. One noisy
 session can trip the shared window without the alert naming the offending
 session (unlike the separate cumulative `max_writes_per_session` check,
 which does name it); conversely, many distinct low-volume sessions can
 jointly flood the shared window without any individual one tripping its own
 per-session limit.
 **Change:** Key the sliding window by session/source (or add a per-source
 rolling count) so the rate check attributes to, and can throttle, the actual
 offender.
 ### INT-08 — `crates/clawhdf5-format/src/provenance.rs` (`verify_dataset`, ~line 126)
 **Problem:** The SHA-256 content hash is written automatically on save when
 `db.provenance` is set (`file_writer.rs` ~1061–1068, gated on the
 `provenance` feature), but `verify_dataset` is only ever called from test
 files — no reader/open path in `clawhdf5-io` or the `clawhdf5` facade calls
 it. A corrupted dataset is silently readable with no automatic integrity
 check; the write-side machinery exists but nothing consumes it. (Note:
 `CHANGELOG.md` already documents that this hash is unkeyed/tamper-*evident*
 not tamper-*proof* — that's accepted and not re-flagged here; this item is
 about it never being invoked at all, not about its cryptographic strength.)
 **Change:** Optionally call `verify_dataset` on dataset open (behind the
 `provenance` feature) and surface a mismatch as a typed error/warning to the
 caller instead of leaving verification purely opt-in/manual.
 ### INT-09 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/wal.rs` (`WalFile::read_entries`, ~lines 219–272)
 **Problem:** Two related gaps. (a) WAL v2's per-entry CRC32 covers only each
 entry's own bytes — there's no sequence number or entry-chaining, so entries
 could be reordered, duplicated, or spliced (e.g. a `Tombstone` moved
 before/after its target `Save`) while every individual entry still passes
 its own CRC check, silently changing replayed cache state. (b) The
 `WAL_VERSION_LEGACY_NO_CRC` branch (~lines 260–266) does no CRC verification
 at all, and the version byte itself is a single unauthenticated byte — since
 `read_entries` is a public standalone API (not just reached via `open()`'s
 one-time migrate-on-read), flipping that byte from `2` to `1` silently
 downgrades every subsequent entry in the file to the fully-unverified
 pre-hardening parser.
 **Change:** Add a monotonic sequence number or entry-chaining (CRC/hash
 including the previous entry's CRC) to detect reordering/splicing. Restrict
 the legacy-no-CRC branch to the `open()` migration path only, or emit a
 warning when `read_entries` falls back to it via any other entry point.
 ---
 ## Section C — Correctness bug (panic on valid, untrusted input)
 ### INT-10 — `crates/clawhdf5-migrate/src/validate.rs` (`truncate`, lines 143–149)
 **Problem:**
 ```rust
 fn truncate(s: &str) -> String {
    if s.len() <= 40 {
        s.to_string()
    } else {
        format!("{}…", &s[..40])   // byte-index slice, not char-boundary safe
    }
 }
 ```
 `s` is `source.chunk` — arbitrary UTF-8 text read from the source SQLite
 database, called from the chunk-text mismatch branch of `validate_hdf5`
 (~line 58) whenever migrated text doesn't exactly match the source. This is
 the default (non-`--dry-run`) validation path, not test-only code — the file
 has no `#[cfg(test)]` block. If a multi-byte character (emoji, accented
 letter, CJK, etc.) straddles byte offset 40, `&s[..40]` panics with "byte
 index 40 is not a char boundary" instead of producing the diagnostic the
 code exists to report.
 **Change:** Truncate on a char boundary, e.g.
 `let cut = s.char_indices().nth(40).map(|(i, _)| i).unwrap_or(s.len()); format!("{}…", &s[..cut])`.
 ---
 ## Section D — Performance (query-time hot paths, `clawhdf5-agent`)
 `search.rs`, `vector_search.rs`, `hybrid.rs`, `reranker.rs`, `confidence.rs`,
 `temporal.rs`, `ivf.rs`, `pq.rs`, and `gpu_search.rs` were reviewed and found
 already efficient (temporal index uses `partition_point` binary search,
 hybrid merge uses `HashMap` accumulation not nested loops, no gratuitous
 clones in the batch vector paths) — no items proposed there.
 ### INT-11 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/bm25.rs` (`BM25Index::search`, ~lines 118–141)
 **Problem:** The WAND top-k threshold update calls
 `top_k_scores.sort_by(...)` over the full `k`-sized buffer for every matching
 document that beats the running threshold (twice in the `>= k` branch), plus
 another full sort on reaching exactly `k` results. For `m` matching
 documents this is `O(m·k log k)` where a heap gives `O(m log k)`.
 **Change:** Replace `top_k_scores: Vec<f32>` with a min-heap
 (`BinaryHeap<Reverse<f32>>`) of size `k`; pop/push instead of sort-and-index.
 ### INT-12 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/knowledge.rs` (`KnowledgeCache::resolve_or_create`, lines 304–330)
 **Problem:** `self.entities.iter().map(|e| levenshtein(&lower_name,
 &e.name.to_lowercase()))` allocates a fresh lowercased `String` for every
 entity on every resolution call (this runs per extracted mention during
 entity/relation extraction) and never short-circuits even on an exact
 `dist == 0` match — it scores every remaining entity regardless.
 **Change:** Cache a lowercased name on `Entity` to avoid the
 per-call allocation, and break out of the scan as soon as a `dist == 0`
 match is found.
 ### INT-13 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/knowledge.rs` (`bfs_neighbors` lines 339–378, `spreading_activation` lines 435–495, `get_relations_from`/`get_relations_to` lines 247–254)
 **Problem:** All four functions filter/scan the *entire* `self.relations`
 list per node processed (`O(V·E)` for BFS instead of `O(V+E)`;
 `O(max_steps · active_nodes · relations)` for spreading activation), and
 `bfs_neighbors` additionally calls `self.get_entity(neighbour_id)` per
 discovered neighbor, itself an `O(n)` linear `.find()` over `self.entities`.
 **Change:** Build (or maintain incrementally on `add_entity`/`add_relation`)
 a `HashMap<u64, Vec<usize>>` adjacency index and a `HashMap<u64, usize>`
 id→index map, shared across all four functions, replacing the linear scans
 with O(1)/O(degree) lookups.
 ### INT-14 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/consolidation.rs` (`ConsolidationEngine::add_memory`, lines 212–217)
 **Problem:**
 ```rust
 let working: Vec<MemoryRecord> = self.records.iter()
    .filter(|r| r.tier == MemoryTier::Working)
    .cloned()
    .collect();
 ```
 `score_surprise` (the only consumer) only reads `r.embedding` by reference —
 the full clone (chunk text + embedding `Vec<f32>`) of every working-tier
 record is discarded immediately after use.
 **Change:** Collect `Vec<&MemoryRecord>` (or iterate the filtered
 `self.records` directly, passing an iterator of `&[f32]`) instead of
 `.cloned()`.
 ### INT-15 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/consolidation.rs` (`consolidate`, lines 284–291 and 345–351)
 **Problem:** `self.records.retain(|r| !evict_ids.contains(&r.id))` where
 `evict_ids: Vec<u64>` — `retain` calls `.contains()` (linear scan) for every
 record in `self.records`, giving `O(n·m)` cost (n = records, m = eviction
 count) on both the Working-tier eviction (line 289) and Episodic-tier
 eviction (line 350), on every consolidation tick.
 **Change:** Build `evict_ids` as a `HashSet<u64>` for O(1) membership checks.
 ### INT-16 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/blas_search.rs` (`blas_cosine_batch`, lines 30–39), `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/accelerate_search.rs` (`accelerate_cosine_batch_vecs`, lines 164–173)
 **Problem:** `cache.embeddings` is stored as `Vec<Vec<f32>>`; both functions
 re-flatten the entire corpus into a fresh `Vec<f32>`
 (`flat.extend_from_slice(&vectors[i])` per non-tombstoned vector) on *every
 single query* before running the actual BLAS/Accelerate matmul — an
 `O(N·dim)` copy paid per query when the `fast-math` feature is enabled. The
 fix pattern already exists in-file: `blas_cosine_batch_flat` (same file,
 lines 89–142) has an `all_active` fast path that skips this copy when
 reading from a pre-flattened buffer directly — it's just not used for the
 `Vec<Vec<f32>>` call sites.
 **Change:** Maintain a persistent flat embedding buffer alongside
 `cache.embeddings` (updated incrementally on insert/delete) and call
 `blas_cosine_batch_flat` instead of `blas_cosine_batch` from both files'
 query paths.
 ### INT-17 — `crates/clawhdf5-agent/src/entity_extract.rs` (`dedup_overlapping`, lines 302–313)
 **Problem:** `result.iter().any(|existing| ...)` checks every candidate
 entity against all already-accepted entities — `O(n²)` in
 entities-per-extraction-call. This runs at ingestion time (every memory
 save), not query time, and is bounded by entities-per-chunk (typically
 small), so it's lower priority than INT-11 through INT-16.
 **Change:** If profiling shows this matters in practice (large chunks with
 many extracted entities), replace with a spatial/interval-based overlap
 index; otherwise leave as-is — flagging for completeness, not urgency.

 # Verification Brief — branch `verify/v3-plus-v6`
 Independent audit of three already-implemented fixes:
 - **P1** — `clawhdf5-ann::hnsw::compute_distance` now delegates to `clawhdf5-accel`'s
  runtime-dispatched SIMD kernels (`l2_distance`, `cosine_similarity`) instead of
  scalar loops.
 - **P2** — `clawhdf5-io::async_read::AsyncFileReader` now opens the file handle
  once and caches it + its length behind a `tokio::sync::Mutex`.
 - **PR1** — `clawhdf5-migrate` writes SHINES provenance (`hdf5_writer.rs`) and
  verifies it on read-back (`validate.rs`).
 Branch state audited: `verify/v3-plus-v6` @ `07b7301` (merge of the v3 ann/io/migrate
 work and v6 agent/format work). All three areas' existing test suites
 (`cargo test -p clawhdf5-accel -p clawhdf5-ann -p clawhdf5-io --features async
 -p clawhdf5-migrate --release`) pass — 41 + 23 + 89 + 26 tests green. That is
 expected: the defect below is a numerical edge case none of the existing tests
 exercise.
 ---
 ## P1 — SIMD distance in `clawhdf5-ann` — DEFECT FOUND
 **File:** `crates/clawhdf5-accel/src/scalar.rs`, `avx2.rs`, `avx512.rs`, `neon.rs`
 (all four backends share the bug identically; it surfaces in callers through
 `crates/clawhdf5-ann/src/hnsw.rs:54`, `compute_distance`'s
 `1.0 - clawhdf5_accel::cosine_similarity(a, b)`).
 **Problem:** The near-zero-norm guard in `cosine_similarity` changed threshold
 during the SIMD migration, and the new threshold is wrong.
 Old scalar loop (pre-SIMD, `hnsw.rs` @ `55959b4`):
 ```rust
 let denom = norm_a.sqrt() * norm_b.sqrt();
 if denom < f32::EPSILON {
    1.0
 } else {
    1.0 - (dot / denom)
 }
 ```
 New code, identical in all four `clawhdf5-accel` backends (e.g.
 `scalar.rs:23-24`):
 ```rust
 let denom = (norm_a * norm_b).sqrt();
 if denom == 0.0 { 0.0 } else { dot / denom }
 ```
 The old code clamped *any* near-zero denominator (anything under
 `f32::EPSILON ≈ 1.19e-7`, not just exact zero) to a safe "maximally
 dissimilar" result. The new code only special-cases an **exact** `0.0`
 denominator; anything smaller but nonzero falls through to `dot / denom`.
 For genuinely-zero vectors the two are equivalent (`denom == 0.0` in both, and
 `1.0 - 0.0 == 1.0` matches the old `1.0`), and the existing test
 (`hnsw.rs::cosine_zero_vector`, `clawhdf5-accel::test_cosine_zero_vector`)
 only covers that case — which is why it didn't catch this.
 But for vectors with a small (not exactly zero) norm, the two diverge sharply.
 Concrete repro (values confirmed via a standalone build of both functions):
 ```
 a = b = [1e-4]        // tiny but nonzero, identical vectors
 old cosine distance = 1.0   // "unreliable direction" fallback, correctly
                             // caps degenerate near-zero vectors at max distance
 new cosine distance = 0.0   // computed as fully identical
 ```
 `denom` here is `1e-8`, comfortably below `f32::EPSILON` (`1.19e-7`) but not
 `== 0.0`, so the old guard fired and the new one doesn't. This is not a
 narrow floating-point-rounding footgun — the divergence spans roughly three
 orders of magnitude of vector norm (anything with `denom` in
 `(0, 1.19e-7)`), and it flips the result from "maximally dissimilar" to
 "identical," the two opposite ends of the distance range. Any HNSW cosine
 index that indexes or queries a near-zero-magnitude embedding (e.g. an
 embedder's output for empty/masked/degenerate input, or a soft-deleted/
 zeroed-out placeholder vector) will silently rank it as a near-duplicate of
 other near-zero vectors instead of correctly pushing it to the bottom of
 results.
 Mismatched-length and truly-empty inputs were also checked: empty vectors
 (`a.len() == b.len() == 0`) behave identically old vs. new (both hit the
 zero-denominator path → distance `1.0`). Mismatched lengths now panic via
 `assert_eq!` in every backend, versus the old code's `for i in 0..a.len()`
 (which panicked on OOB if `b` was shorter, or silently truncated to `a`'s
 length if `b` was longer). No caller reaches this: `HnswIndex::build_with_metric`
 and `insert` both assert equal dimensions before any `compute_distance` call,
 so mismatched lengths are unreachable in practice — not flagging as a
 separate defect.
 **Proposed fix:** Restore the epsilon-threshold guard in all four
 `clawhdf5-accel` cosine_similarity backends (`scalar.rs`, `avx2.rs`,
 `avx512.rs`, `neon.rs`), replacing `if denom == 0.0 { 0.0 }` with
 `if denom < f32::EPSILON { 0.0 }`, so `1.0 - cosine_similarity(...)` in
 `hnsw.rs` reproduces the old `denom < f32::EPSILON → 1.0` fallback exactly.
 Add a regression test in `clawhdf5-accel` (e.g.
 `test_cosine_near_zero_norm_clamped`) asserting `cosine_similarity(&[1e-4],
 &[1e-4])` returns `0.0` (so `1.0 - sim == 1.0`, matching the old HNSW
 fallback) rather than `1.0`, and a matching test in `hnsw.rs`
 (`cosine_near_zero_vector`, alongside the existing `cosine_zero_vector`) using
 a tiny-but-nonzero vector pair to lock in `compute_distance == 1.0`.

 ## P2 — Cached async file handle in `clawhdf5-io` — SOUND, no defect
 **File:** `crates/clawhdf5-io/src/async_read.rs`, `AsyncFileReader::read_at` /
 `::len` (lines 96-126).
 Checked against the pre-fix version (diff in `b08df7b`, which per-call opened
 a fresh `tokio::fs::File` and re-stat'd the length):
 - **No seek/read interleaving across tasks.** `read_at` takes
  `let mut guard = self.handle.lock().await` once at the top and then borrows
  `file` from that guard (`guard.as_mut()`) for the rest of the function,
  including both the `seek(...).await` and `read_exact(...).await` calls.
  Because `file` is a live borrow of `guard`, the Rust borrow checker forces
  `guard` (and therefore the lock) to stay held across both await points —
  it cannot be dropped until the whole function returns. `tokio::sync::Mutex`
  is specifically designed to be held across `.await` (unlike `std::sync::Mutex`),
  so a second task's `read_at` call blocks at `.lock().await` until the first
  task's seek+read pair has fully completed. A seek from one task can never be
  followed by a read from another task on the same descriptor.
 - **Lazy-init race is also covered by the same lock.** The `if guard.is_none()`
  open-and-populate branch runs under the same guard acquired at the top, so
  two concurrent first-callers can't both open+overwrite the cached handle;
  the second one to acquire the lock sees `guard.is_some()` and reuses it.
 - **Cached length staleness.** The length is cached forever once populated —
  intentional and documented in the struct's doc comment ("cached for the
  lifetime of this reader"). Grepped the whole workspace
  (`AsyncFileReader` outside `async_read.rs` itself): zero other callers exist
  yet, so there's no current code path where a caller observes a stale length
  against a file that changed size mid-lifetime. If the backing file were
  truncated externally during the reader's life, the stale (larger) cached
  length would make `read_at` attempt to read more than remains on disk —
  but that fails loudly via `read_exact`'s `UnexpectedEof` rather than
  silently returning corrupted/truncated data, which is a safe failure mode,
  not a correctness bug.
 - **Short-read/truncation semantics.** The `offset >= file_len → empty`,
  `to_read = len.min(available)` logic is byte-for-byte unchanged from the
  pre-fix version; only the source of `file_len` changed (cached vs.
  freshly stat'd). For the current, only-consumer-is-itself usage pattern
  (open once, read many times, file not mutated externsally during the
  reader's life) the observable behavior is identical to before.
 No item raised for P2.

 ## PR1 — SHINES provenance in `clawhdf5-migrate` — SOUND, no defect
 **Files:** `crates/clawhdf5-migrate/src/hdf5_writer.rs`,
 `crates/clawhdf5-migrate/src/main.rs`, `crates/clawhdf5-migrate/src/validate.rs`,
 `crates/clawhdf5-migrate/src/hdf5_reader.rs`.
 - **Current-run source path / timestamp on `--incremental` merges.**
  `write_hdf5` (`hdf5_writer.rs:23`) computes `timestamp = iso8601_now()`
  fresh on every call — it is never read from the merged `data` struct, so
  the top-level `migrated_at` attribute and the per-dataset
  `.with_provenance("clawhdf5-migrate", timestamp, source_opt)` calls
  (`hdf5_writer.rs:147,177,189`) always carry the current run's wall-clock
  time, incremental or not. For `source_path`: `hdf5_reader::read_hdf5`
  (used to load the incremental base) explicitly returns
  `source_path: String::new()` with a comment noting the caller must carry
  the real path forward (`hdf5_reader.rs:52-56`); `main.rs:160`
  (`base.source_path = source.source_path`) does exactly that — it
  overwrites the re-read base's placeholder with the *freshly re-read SQLite
  source's* path before calling `write_hdf5`, not a previous run's path.
  Traced through: on an `--incremental` run, both the top-level attributes
  and every per-dataset provenance attribute reflect the current run, not a
  stale one. `test_incremental_migration` (`main.rs`) exercises the merge
  path and passes, though it doesn't assert on `source_path`/`migrated_at`
  specifically — the coding phase could add that assertion as cheap
  extra insurance, but it's not fixing a defect, just tightening coverage.
 - **Hash-mismatch vs. absent-attribute handling.**
  `verify_chunk_provenance` (`validate.rs:161-184`) returns `Err(...)`
  (fails loudly, wired through `validate_hdf5`'s `?`) only on
  `VerifyResult::Mismatch`, i.e. an actual recomputed-vs-stored SHA-256
  disagreement. `VerifyResult::NoHash` (attribute absent, e.g. an
  older output file) is handled separately — it sets `all_present = false`
  and continues, returning `Ok(false)` from `verify_chunk_provenance`
  (surfaced as `ValidationSummary::provenance_verified == false`, not an
  error). This is correctly asymmetric: real corruption is a hard error,
  merely-missing provenance metadata is a soft "unverified" signal, matching
  the documented contract in the function's doc comment.
