* refactor(tuning): prune dormant runtime knobs
Remove unused tuning controls and adaptive search budget state. Extract testable ONNX slot reconciliation and search telemetry hydration seams, and correct the Apple Silicon sysctl value width.
* refactor(vector): retire dormant backends
Remove unused FAISS, model-infrastructure, VectorIndexManager, and TurboQuant paths while keeping Simeon PQ and float-vector storage.
Migrate unused V2.2 quantized schemas transactionally to V2.3. Databases containing non-default quantized formats or packed-code blobs fail closed with recovery guidance and no mutation.
* refactor(plugins): remove legacy SDK tooling
Remove the Ghidra and SDK submodules, their bespoke tests, and stale scan exclusions. Retain generic PluginProcess coverage against the repository mock fixture.
* build(vector): remove stale FAISS overrides
* refactor(ipc): remove dormant FSM snapshots
* refactor(ingest): unify bounded KG enqueue
* fix(plugins): harden allocation contracts
Keep ABI outputs null or fully initialized when allocations fail, and represent empty object payloads without relying on malloc(0).
* fix(storage): define empty object reads
Return a null buffer with zero length for successful empty-object reads instead of treating malloc(0) as an allocation contract.
* refactor(storage): trim through string views
* test: prune dormant harness helpers
Remove unused readiness and fixture helpers, and keep benchmark client-count doubling in a wide integer domain.
* chore(cpp): initialize analyzer-facing locals
* build(simeon): advance analyzer cleanup
* refactor(config): drop dead daemon client keys
* refactor(ipc): inject daemon client transport
Socket and in-process execution now share DaemonClient request dispatch, so CLI fallbacks do not need alternate service paths.
* refactor(retrieval): route CLI through daemon
Search and grep now use the same daemon handlers over socket or in-process transport. Live grep remains an explicit freshness inspection.
* refactor(graph): move CLI scope into daemon
Graph CLI requests now share daemon handlers across socket and in-process transports. CWD filtering occurs before pagination so scoped totals and pages stay correct.
* build: isolate test-only runtime controls
* refactor(metadata): decouple lock telemetry
* fix(services): return on request timeout
* fix(retrieval): enforce workspace scope
* fix(graph): scope nodes before pagination
* fix(grep): drop binary result lines
* fix(daemon): bound checkpoint wait
* fix(repair): use KG health checks
* fix(storage): always verify compressed CRC
* perf(vector): skip unchanged PQ snapshots
* build(zyp): exclude bench from default build
* build: protect Meson files from formatter
* refactor: remove unreachable production APIs
* refactor(daemon): remove dormant runtime state
* fix(vector): harden daemon provider calls
Timed-out coroutines must own their client and requests. Provider discovery must also fail instead of returning synthetic embeddings in production.
* refactor(storage): remove unusable adapters
* fix(cli): unify in-process add requests
* fix(tsan): preserve async worker progress
* test(cli): isolate daemon-dependent suites
* fix(repair): expose queue backoff progress
