# Changelog ## Unreleased ### Search - `clawhdf5-ann`: **HNSW recall fix.** Neighbours were chosen as the plain closest-M, which on clustered data (what embeddings look like) turns each cluster into an island: recall@10 was 0.87 / 0.67 / 0.31 at 1K / 10K / 100K vectors and did not improve with `ef`. The index now uses the HNSW paper's diversity heuristic (Algorithm 4 with kept pruned connections) when linking a new node and when pruning back-links: recall@10 at `ef = 64` is 1.00 / 1.00 / 0.98 and responds to `ef`. Builds are slower (~3.5x at 10K). Existing persisted indexes keep their old graph until rebuilt; the agent rebuilds its index from the cache, so stores pick this up automatically. - `clawhdf5-agent`: **`hybrid_search` is 23-39x faster in steady state** (p50 5.5 -> 0.24 ms at 1K records, 49 -> 2.1 ms at 10K, 884 -> 23 ms at 100K). Every query used to rebuild the BM25 index from scratch and rewrite the whole `.h5` file. The keyword index now lives for the life of the store and is updated incrementally (add / remove / in-place update, exactly equivalent to a fresh build - property-tested), and a query no longer writes the store. **Behaviour change:** Hebbian activation boosts are persisted by the next checkpoint (any flushing write, `flush_wal`, or drop) rather than immediately; a crash in between forgets only the boosts since the last checkpoint. Activation weights are now capped (16.0) - they grew without bound. - `clawhdf5-agent`: **the vector index is persisted**, so `open()` no longer rebuilds it on the first search (first query after open: 2627 -> 15 ms at 10K records, 36 s -> 159 ms at 100K). The HNSW graph — not the vectors, which the store already holds — is written to `.h5.ann` at each checkpoint and tied to it by a generation id in `/meta`; a missing, stale, damaged or structurally invalid sidecar is ignored and the index rebuilt. Records replayed from the WAL join the loaded index incrementally; a replayed update or delete invalidates it. `snapshot()` copies it. Batch saves no longer force a full index rebuild. - `clawhdf5-ann`: `HnswIndex::graph_to_bytes` / `from_graph_bytes` — graph-only serialization (checksummed, every neighbour id and level validated on load). - `clawhdf5-agent`: BM25 results are deterministic (ties break by record id), top-k uses a bounded heap, and the "WAND early termination" that computed a bound and then ignored it is gone. IDF is computed per query. - `clawhdf5-bench`: new `search_harness` binary — HNSW recall@10 / QPS / latency per `ef` against an exact scan, and end-to-end `hybrid_search` timings, on deterministic clustered (or `--uniform`) data. Baseline in `BENCHMARKS.md`. ## v2.3.0 (2026-09-19) ### Upgrade Notes - **A memory store now has a single writer.** `HDF5Memory::create`/`open` take an exclusive lock (`.h5.lock`); a second open of the same store — in the same or another process — returns `MemoryError::Locked`. Code that opened a second handle just to read should use `HDF5Memory::open_read_only`. - **Unsigned array attributes arrive as `AttrValue::U64Array`**, not `I64Array`, and `attrs()` may now return `AttrValue::Raw`. Exhaustive matches on `AttrValue` need the two new arms. - **WAL header version 3 → 4.** v3 files are read and upgraded in place, but a store written by 2.3.0 with a pending WAL cannot be opened by 2.2.0 or earlier (it is refused, not corrupted). Checkpoint first (`flush_wal`) if you need to downgrade. - `MemoryConfig::compression` now uses deflate unless the agent's new `zstd` feature is enabled; it previously failed outright in a default build. - `MemoryError` gained `Locked`; `FormatError` gained `UnresolvedSharedMessage`, `ExternalDataFilesUnsupported` and `ExternalLinkUnsupported`; `MessageType` gained `ExternalDataFiles`. ### Bug Fixes - `clawhdf5-format`: compound datatypes written with **default libver bounds** (datatype message version 1 — what plain `h5py.File(path, 'w')` produces) were mis-parsed. The v1 member layout carries 28 bytes of legacy array fields after the byte offset (the parser skipped 24), and v2 pads member names to 8 bytes and has no array fields at all (the parser did neither), so every member after the first byte offset was read from the wrong position — typically surfacing as `Overflow("compound member ...")` on read. Found by adding a default-libver axis to the h5py interop tests; byte-level regression tests for v1 and v2 added. - `clawhdf5-gpu`: `gpu_tests` could hang forever under the default parallel test runner — every test created its own wgpu instance and device at once. Tests now serialise GPU access, and GPU→CPU readback waits are bounded (30 s) so a wedged driver returns `GpuError::BufferMap` instead of blocking. - `clawhdf5-agent`: `benches/bench.rs` and `benches/memory_bench.rs` no longer compiled against the current `strategy`/`consolidation` APIs. ### HDF5 Compatibility - `clawhdf5-format`/`clawhdf5`: datasets and attributes that use a **committed (named) datatype** now read correctly. They store a shared-message reference; the facade parsed the reference bytes as the datatype (`Time { size: 0 }`, unreadable data) and silently dropped such attributes. The shared-reference parser itself was wrong for real files: version 2 has no reserved bytes, and the version 3 types were inverted (1 = SOHM heap, 2 = committed). - **Fill values are applied on read.** There was no Fill Value message parser: the holes of a sparse chunked dataset read as zeros even when the fill value was not zero (silently wrong data), and a dataset that was created but never written failed with `NoDataAllocated` where h5py returns a filled array. Messages v1–v3 and the old 0x0004 form are parsed; the fill value is written into exactly the chunk-grid cells missing from the chunk index. - **Soft links are followed** during path resolution, in old- and new-style groups (absolute/relative targets, links to groups, links through links), with a depth limit so a link cycle is an error rather than a hang. A dangling link reports the target it could not find. - Things the reader does not follow are now explicit errors instead of wrong answers: an external link is `ExternalLinkUnsupported { filename, object_path }` (was `PathNotFound`), and a dataset whose raw data lives in external files (message 0x0007, now a known `MessageType`) is `ExternalDataFilesUnsupported` (it would otherwise read as fill values). - **`attrs()` no longer drops attributes.** Any attribute whose datatype had no `AttrValue` variant was omitted with no error — including every Python `bool` (h5py stores `attrs["flag"] = True` as an enum), complex numbers, compound values and object references. Now: - numpy/h5py-style booleans (an enum of exactly `FALSE`=0 / `TRUE`=1) decode as `I64` / `I64Array` of 0/1; - new `AttrValue::U64Array` keeps unsigned arrays unsigned (they were cast to `I64Array`, so values above `i64::MAX` came back negative). **Behaviour change:** code matching `I64Array` for an unsigned attribute must also match `U64Array` (the netCDF-4 CF helpers and Python bindings do); - new `AttrValue::Raw { datatype, shape, data }` carries everything else verbatim, decodable with `clawhdf5_format::data_read` against `datatype`. Both new variants are writable, so an attribute can be copied between files unchanged. Python receives `Raw` as `{"dtype", "shape", "data"}`. - All of the above are covered by h5py interop tests under both default and `libver='latest'` bounds, compared against h5py's own readback. ### Security - `clawhdf5`: virtual-dataset source file names are untrusted input but were joined straight onto the opened file's directory, so a crafted file could make the reader open any path the process can reach (absolute path, or `..` components). Only plain relative paths inside that directory are accepted. ### Durability & Integrity - `clawhdf5-agent`: a crash between writing a checkpoint and truncating the WAL no longer **duplicates every pending entry** on the next open. Each checkpoint records a `WalMark` (byte length + chained CRC of the WAL prefix it folded in) in `/meta`; `open()` skips exactly that prefix when it is still present. No WAL format change for this; older files behave as before. - `clawhdf5-agent`: checkpoints and snapshots are durable as a unit — the temp file is synced before the rename and the directory after it. Individual WAL appends remain unsynced by design (documented in `CLAUDE.md`). - `clawhdf5-agent`: `save_or_update` hits are logged as a new `Update` WAL record, so replay updates in place instead of appending a duplicate. WAL header version 3 → 4 (so older builds refuse the file rather than truncating a record they can't parse); v3 files are read and upgraded in place. - `clawhdf5-agent`: loading validates every per-record dataset length (a truncated store is now `MemoryError::Schema`, not a later panic), fixes the `n.len() == n.len()` tautology that trusted a norms dataset of any length, and rejects `embedding_dim == 0` with records present. - `clawhdf5-agent`: eight behavioural `MemoryConfig` fields are now persisted in `/meta`. Previously they reset to defaults on every open — a compressed store was rewritten uncompressed, `wal_enabled = false` flipped back to `true`. - `clawhdf5-agent`: `compression = true` never worked in a default build (it requested Zstd without enabling the feature, so every checkpoint failed with `unsupported filter: 32015`). Default builds now use deflate; Zstd is the new opt-in `zstd` feature. - `clawhdf5-agent`: **single-writer lock** (`.h5.lock`, `MemoryError::Locked`) — two handles on one store used to silently destroy each other's data. New `HDF5Memory::open_read_only` gives a lock-free, never-writing view; the CLI's read-only subcommands use it. - `clawhdf5-agent`: an unreadable WAL (torn header / bad magic) is quarantined (`HDF5Memory::quarantined_wal()`) instead of blocking `open()` of a healthy store. A WAL from an unknown newer version still fails and is left intact. - `clawhdf5-agent`: provenance records are renumbered on compaction (they weren't, so every later `save_or_update` raised a false High integrity alert); pending anomaly alerts and tracked sessions are bounded; `snapshot()` includes entries still in the WAL. - `clawhdf5-agent`: hybrid ranking is deterministic (index tie-breaks instead of `HashMap` order); a set of identical positive scores — including a single candidate — normalises to 1.0 rather than 0.0; the Hebbian boost no longer reinforces zero-score filler results. - `clawhdf5-format`: chunked/VDS/hyperslab reads size their buffers with overflow-checked arithmetic and fallible allocation, so crafted dimensions are `FormatError::Overflow` instead of a wrapped size or a process abort; `parallel_read` bounds checks use `checked_add`. - `clawhdf5`: a malformed filter-pipeline message is an error instead of being treated as "no filters" (which returned compressed bytes as data); `FileBuilder::write` is atomic and synced instead of truncating the destination first. ### CI / Testing - CI now lints every target (`cargo clippy --all-targets`) plus `clawhdf5-format`'s optional features, compiles all benches, and tests the format feature matrix. Previously test/bench code and feature-gated modules were never linted; the accumulated clippy backlog is fixed. - CI installs python3 + h5py/numpy/netCDF4/xarray and sets `CLAWHDF5_REQUIRE_INTEROP=1`, which turns a missing interop dependency into a test **failure**. Until now every h5py/netCDF4 interop test silently skipped in CI, which is how the HDF5 2.0 compound bug fixed in v2.2.0 reached a user. The `#[ignore]`d `writer_h5py_tests` suite is run explicitly. - h5py-generated-file tests now cover default libver bounds as well as `libver='latest'` (HDF5 2.0 raised the default low bound to 1.8). - `clawhdf5-agent`: WAL property tests (round trip; after any corruption the entries read back are an exact prefix of what was written — 1500 seeded cases), a crash-recovery matrix (an on-disk image after every operation, the checkpoint window, and the WAL torn at every byte length, each reopened and checked against a model), and a WAL fuzz target. - Optional fuzz smoke run (`CLAWHDF5_FUZZ_SECONDS=N scripts/ci-test.sh`); new datatype corpus seeds for v1 compound and native complex messages. ## 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. ### New Features - `clawhdf5-migrate`: substantial engine improvements: - **Real content validation** — the post-migration check now reads the written HDF5 back and compares actual content (chunk text, embeddings, and every session/entity/relation field) against the source, not just row counts. A representative sample of chunk rows is verified by default; `--validate-full` checks every row. A corrupt migration that preserves counts no longer passes. - **Configurable schema** — table names are no longer hardcoded; queries are built from a `SchemaConfig` (table + ordered column names, defaulting to the ZeroClaw layout) with `--chunks-table` / `--sessions-table` / `--entities-table` / `--relations-table` overrides. - **Streaming count pass** — `--dry-run` now does a `COUNT(*)`-only pass per table instead of loading every row into memory. - **Incremental migration** — `--incremental` reads the existing output, reads only source chunks newer than the last migrated id, and appends them (refreshing the metadata groups), instead of re-migrating everything. - `clawhdf5-format`: read **IEEE-754 half-precision (f16)** floats. `read_as_f32` / `read_as_f64` previously only handled 4- and 8-byte floats; 2-byte floats (e.g. float16-stored embeddings) now decode via a no_std-safe bit conversion. - `clawhdf5-format`: **write multi-block fractal heaps** (root indirect block). Dense attribute and dense link storage previously capped at a single direct block (~64 KiB of heap data — a few thousand attributes/links). When the objects exceed one direct block, the heap now lays out a root indirect block (FHIB) over multiple direct blocks sized by the doubling table, distributing objects across blocks with correct per-block heap offsets. Validated end-to-end: a 2,500-attribute object and a 2,500-link group round-trip through our reader and are read correctly by h5py. (Objects still may not span a block — no huge-object path.) - `clawhdf5-format`: **write dense group link storage** (fractal heap + v2 B-tree). A group with more than 8 links (libhdf5's compact `max_compact` default) is now written densely — its links live in a fractal heap indexed by a v2 B-tree of type 5 (link-name index) referenced from the group's LinkInfo message — instead of as inline Link messages. This matches libhdf5's compact→dense switchover and keeps large groups out of the object header. Reverse-engineered against libhdf5: link heaps use `heap_id_length` 7 / `max_heap_size` 32 (vs 8 / 40 for attributes). The shared single-direct-block fractal-heap builder is now parameterized and used by both dense attributes and dense links. Validated end-to-end: our reader round-trips, and h5py reads the dense groups we write. (Single direct block — up to ~a couple thousand links per group; beyond that needs indirect blocks, still unsupported.) ### Robustness - `clawhdf5-format`: harden the readers added this cycle against malformed / hostile input — they parse untrusted bytes and must return errors, never panic, OOM, or recurse without bound. Fixed concrete vectors found by audit and locked in with adversarial tests: - **Paged Fixed Array**: `1 << max_nelmts_bits` shift overflow (a `u8` ≥ 64); element/page offset multiplications now checked; element count bounded by file size. - **H5S selection decoder**: `ALL`/`NONE` no longer claim 16 bytes they don't have; hyperslab `rank` capped at 32 (`H5S_MAX_RANK`) to stop a giant allocation; `iter_linear` coordinate/stride/product arithmetic is checked. - **VDS mapping parser**: no pre-allocation from the untrusted `nused`; all selection slicing is bounds-checked. - **scale-offset / N-Bit filters**: `1 << minbits` overflow at `minbits == 64`; N-Bit `bit_offset + precision` overflow; N-Bit type-tree recursion depth capped (no stack overflow from a crafted nested tree); element counts bounded by the chunk's expected decompressed size so a bogus count can't drive a huge allocation. - **Virtual Dataset assembly**: a virtual dataset whose source is itself virtual (a cycle) now errors instead of recursing into a stack overflow. ### New Features - `clawhdf5-agent`: **compress fixed-length string datasets** (memory text chunks, session summaries, ids, tags, entity/relation names, …). These were always stored uncompressed with a "chunked compound not yet supported" note that was simply stale — chunked writes work for fixed-size string/compound datatypes like any other. `write_string_dataset` now chunks + deflates a string dataset once its payload reaches 4 KiB, so large, highly-redundant NullPad content shrinks substantially while tiny metadata stays contiguous (no chunk-overhead bloat). - `clawhdf5-format`: decode the **scale-offset filter** (id 6) — both the integer variant (`H5Z_SO_INT`) and the floating-point **D-scale** variant (`H5Z_SO_FLOAT_DSCALE`). Handles signed/unsigned int sizes, f32/f64, negative minima, decimal scale factors and fill values; reverse-engineered against HDF5 2.0 and validated end-to-end. The float E-scale variant remains unsupported. - `clawhdf5-format`: decode the **N-Bit filter** (id 5) — atomic, **compound** and **array** layouts (the full recursive type tree, nestable to any depth), previously unsupported. Signed and unsigned reduced-precision integers and float members all read end-to-end, validated against HDF5 2.0. ### New Features - `clawhdf5` / `clawhdf5-format`: read **external-file Virtual Datasets (VDS)**. The format layer gains `read_raw_data_full_with_resolver` and a `VdsSourceResolver` callback (`Fn(&str) -> Option>`) that maps a stored source file name to its bytes, so the pure-byte reader can pull in external sources without a filesystem of its own. The `clawhdf5` `File` API wires a default resolver that reads sibling source files relative to the opened file's directory, so `File::open(...).dataset(...).read_*()` now transparently assembles cross-file VDS. A source file the resolver cannot supply leaves its region at the fill value (matching HDF5); an external source with no resolver at all is a clean error. In-memory files (`File::from_bytes`) have no directory, so only same-file VDS resolves there. - `clawhdf5-format`: assemble **same-file Virtual Datasets (VDS)** of any rank. Previously a virtual layout returned `UnsupportedVersion`. The reader now decodes the global-heap mapping block (reverse-engineered against HDF5 2.0: `version · nused · [source-file · source-dataset · source-selection · virtual-selection]* · checksum`, including the block-version-1 same-file marker), decodes the `H5S` source/virtual dataspace **selections** (ALL, NONE, and version-3 regular hyperslabs), reads each same-file source dataset, and scatters its selected elements into the virtual buffer in row-major order (so multi-dimensional block mappings land correctly); unmapped regions are left at the zero fill value. External-file sources return a clean unsupported error. The previous `parse_vds_mappings` used a guessed layout that did not match real files and is replaced. ### Tests - `clawhdf5-format`: regression test for **scale-offset float E-scale** datasets. The HDF5 library does not implement E-scale encoding — when asked for it (`cd_values[0] = 1`) it stores the chunk raw and sets the chunk filter mask to skip the filter — so these files read back verbatim purely by honoring the per-chunk filter mask. The test locks in that behavior against a fixture produced via the HDF5 low-level API; no E-scale decoder is needed. ### Bug Fixes - `clawhdf5-format`: **read multi-direct-block fractal heaps**. The reader split direct vs indirect block rows using the FRHP "Starting # of Rows in Root Indirect Block" field (a constant, typically 1), so any heap whose data spans more than one direct block — common in libhdf5 files with a large group or many dense attributes — was misread as having indirect blocks and failed with `InvalidFractalHeapSignature`. The split is now derived from the heap geometry (`max_direct_rows = log2(max_direct / start) + 2`). Validated against an h5py-written 400-dense-attribute group (root indirect block, 4 rows, 13 direct blocks). - `clawhdf5-format`: scope the per-file **chunk cache by dataset**. The shared `ChunkCache` built its chunk index once and reused it for every chunked dataset in the file, keyed only by chunk coordinate with no dataset discrimination. With a single chunked dataset per file this was latent; once a file holds two chunked datasets of different rank (e.g. a 1-D compressed string array and the 2-D embeddings matrix), the first dataset's index was reused for the second, panicking with an out-of-bounds chunk coordinate. The cache now rebinds (dropping its index, chunk-index map, layout, and decompressed slots) whenever the dataset being read changes, while still caching repeated/sequential access to the same dataset. - `clawhdf5-format`: read **paged Fixed Array** chunk indexes. A filtered, fixed-dimension dataset with more than one data-block page (>1024 chunks by default) previously failed with "paged Fixed Array data blocks not yet supported". The reader now walks the page-init bitmap (MSB-first), skips uninitialized pages, and resolves each page's fixed full-size slot (including the short final page). Reverse-engineered and validated end-to-end against an HDF5 2.0 file. - `clawhdf5-format`: read **array-typed datatypes** (e.g. an array-typed compound member) via `read_as_i32/i64/u64/f32/f64` — previously a `TypeMismatch`. The array is read as a flat sequence of its base elements (recursing for nested arrays), applying base-type precision rules. - `clawhdf5-format`: **sign-extend reduced-precision fixed-point integers** on read. A signed integer whose datatype precision is smaller than its storage size is stored zero-filled, so e.g. a 16-bit-precision `-1` previously read as `65535`. The integer read paths now extract the precision field and sign-extend (full-width types are unchanged). Completes signed N-Bit reads and also fixes un-filtered reduced-precision integer datasets. - `clawhdf5-format`: read datasets written by modern HDF5 (1.14+/2.0, i.e. `libver=latest`). Compound (class 6) and array (class 10) datatype **version 5** messages and data layout **version 5** messages were rejected as invalid; they reuse the v3/v4 binary structure, so they are now accepted. This unblocks reading compound types and — critically — every chunked/compressed dataset written by HDF5 2.0. Found by running the h5py interop tests against h5py 3.16 / HDF5 2.0. 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. ### Performance - `clawhdf5-format`: chunked writes now compress all chunks up front via `compress_all_chunks`, running across rayon threads under the `parallel` feature when there are more than 4 filtered chunks. On-disk layout is unchanged. Speeds up compressed embedding writes in `clawhdf5-agent` (which enables `parallel`). ### Documentation - Fix stale package names across all 13 per-crate READMEs (`rustyhdf5-*` / `edgehdf5-*` → `clawhdf5-*`, usage versions → 2.1.0). - Correct README workspace/test/crate stats and the CLAUDE.md CLI subcommand list; document the `hnsw` and format compression/checksum feature flags and the `entity_extract` / `async_memory` modules. ## v2.1.0 (2026-06-03) ### New Features - `clawhdf5-agent`: HNSW now backs the vector stage of `hybrid_search`. The `hnsw` feature is **on by default**, so semantic search uses the approximate `clawhdf5-ann` index instead of a linear cosine scan. The index mirrors the memory cache (node id == cache index) and self-heals — it rebuilds whenever it drifts from the cache length, so no mutation path can desync it. Non-indexable stores (no/zero-dim/mixed embeddings) and dimension-mismatched queries fall back to the exact linear scan. Disable with `--no-default-features --features float16` for exact search. - `clawhdf5-ann`: HNSW is now a live, mutable index — added `insert`, `mark_deleted` (soft-delete bitset; deleted nodes are traversed for connectivity but never returned), `compact` (drops deleted vectors and renumbers survivors), and `new` (empty index). Serialization gains a format version tag (`HNSW_FORMAT_VERSION` = 2) and persists the deleted bitset; pre-existing v1 files still load. - `clawhdf5-agent`: `hybrid::merge_vector_keyword` exposes the shared normalize-and-fuse step used by both the linear and HNSW vector paths. - Expose `max_dimensions()` API on Dataset, MmapDataset, and LazyDataset - NetCDF-4 unlimited dimension detection now works correctly - Python bindings (`clawhdf5-py`) build and link on macOS with system Python ### Bug Fixes - `clawhdf5-py`: upgrade PyO3 and numpy `0.23` → `0.28` so the bindings build on Python 3.14 (PyO3 0.23 capped at 3.13 and hard-failed `cargo build --workspace`). Updated for the removed `PyObject` alias (`Py`) and the `Python::allow_threads` → `Python::detach` rename. - Fix GPU L2 distance test (squared vs actual L2 mismatch in test helper) - Mark Android JNI functions as `unsafe` for Rust 2024 edition compliance - Add `# Safety` documentation to all public unsafe extern functions - Fix all clippy warnings: needless_range_loop, manual_strip, ptr_arg, etc. - Rename `RelationType::from_str` to `from_label` to avoid trait confusion - Isolate h5py interop tests with `#[ignore]` when h5py unavailable ### Code Quality - Full rustfmt pass across workspace (61 files) - Refine inner unsafe blocks for Rust 2024 edition style - Zero clippy warnings, zero clippy errors across entire workspace - 1,546 tests passing, 0 failures ## v2.0.0 (2026-03-19) - Unified rustyhdf5 (11 crates) and edgehdf5 (4 crates) into a single workspace - All crates renamed to clawhdf5-* prefix - Version bumped to 2.0.0 across all crates - Git dependencies replaced with in-workspace path dependencies - Added `agent` feature flag to clawhdf5-agent
