## [v0.7.11] - Unreleased
### Breaking
- **Vector database migration required**: sqlite-vec-cpp HNSW rewrite invalidates existing vector indices. After upgrading, run:
```bash
yams doctor repair --embeddings # Regenerate all embeddings
yams doctor repair --graph # Rebuild knowledge graph (optional)
```
Without this, search will fall back to FTS5-only (no semantic search).
- sqlite-vec-cpp submodule: HNSW API changes and third-party library removal (soft deletion, multi-threading, fp16 quantization, incremental persistence, pre-filtering).
### Added
- MCP `graph` tool for knowledge graph queries (parity with CLI `yams graph`).
- Graph: snapshot-scoped version nodes, `contains` edges for file→symbol, `--dead-code-report`.
- Graph prune policy (`daemon.graph_prune`) to keep latest snapshot versions.
- Download CLI: progress streaming (human/json) via DownloadService callbacks.
- Symbol-aware search ranking: definitions rank higher than usages (`YAMS_SYMBOL_WEIGHT`).
- Zig language support: functions, structs, enums, unions, fields, imports, calls.
- **WEIGHTED_MAX fusion strategy**: Takes maximum weighted score per document instead of sum.
Prevents "hub" documents from dominating via multi-component consensus boost. Used by
SCIENTIFIC tuning profile for benchmark corpora.
### Performance
#### IPC & Daemon
- IPC latency reduced from ~8-28ms to ~2-5ms (connection pooling, async timers, cached config).
- Daemon startup throttling: PathTreeRepair via RepairCoordinator, Fts5Job startup delay (2s), reduced batch sizes (1000→100).
#### Ingestion & Storage
- Post-ingest throughput: dedicated worker pool, adaptive backoff, batched directory ingests.
- In-memory chunking for `storeBytes()` - avoids temp file I/O for large documents.
#### Database & Metadata
- **KGWriteQueue**: Batched, serialized writes to KnowledgeGraphStore via async writer coroutine.
Eliminates "database is locked" errors during high-throughput ingestion by queueing KG operations
(nodes, edges, aliases, doc entities) and committing in batches. Both symbol extraction and NL
entity extraction now use deferred batching with nodeKey→nodeId resolution at commit time.
- Prepared statement caching for SQLite queries - reduces SQL compilation overhead on repeated operations. Cached methods: `setMetadata`, `setMetadataBatch`, `getMetadata`, `getAllMetadata`, `getContent`, `getDocument`, `getDocumentByHash`, `updateDocument`, `deleteDocument`, `insertContent`.
- `setMetadataBatch()` API for bulk metadata updates - 4x faster than individual calls.
#### Search & Retrieval
- Batch vector/KG lookups, flat_map for cache-friendly access, branch hints, memory pre-allocation.
#### Throughput Benchmarks (Debug, macOS M3 Max)
| Benchmark | Oct 2025 | Jan 2026 | Change |
|-----------|----------|----------|--------|
| Ingestion_SmallDocument | 2,771 ops/s | 2,821 ops/s | ~same |
| Ingestion_MediumDocument | 56 ops/s | 57 ops/s | ~same |
| Ingestion_E2E (100 docs) | - | 9.2 docs/s | new (KGWriteQueue) |
| Metadata_SingleUpdate | 10,537 ops/s | 17,794 ops/s | **+69%** |
| Metadata_BulkUpdate(500) | 7,823 ops/s | 50,473 ops/s | **+6.5x** |
| IPC_StreamingFramer | - | 3,732 ops/s | new |
| IPC_UnaryFramer | - | 10,088 ops/s | new |
### Experimental
- **libSQL backend**: Default database backend with concurrent write support via MVCC.
Enables up to 4x write throughput during heavy indexing. Configure with meson option
`database-backend` (choices: `libsql` [default], `sqlite`).
**Installation**: If Rust toolchain is available, libsql builds automatically from source
via the meson subproject. Otherwise falls back to SQLite.
```bash
# Ensure Rust is installed (for automatic build)
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
# Or disable libsql to use standard SQLite
meson configure -Ddatabase-backend=sqlite
```
See [libSQL](https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql) for details.
### Documentation
- **Embedding model recommendations**: Added model comparison table to README. 384-dim models
(e.g., `all-MiniLM-L6-v2`) recommended for best speed/quality tradeoff.
### Changed
- **Reranking**: Score-based reranking is now the default. Uses geometric mean of text and
vector scores to boost documents with multi-component consensus. No external model needed.
Cross-encoder model reranking is opt-in via `enableModelReranking` config option.
### Fixed
- **FTS5 natural language queries**: OR fallback now correctly triggers when AND query returns
zero results. Previously, long queries like scientific abstracts would fail because the AND
query returned nothing and the OR fallback condition was never met.
- **ONNX multi-threading on Linux/macOS**: Removed forced single-threaded execution that was
only needed for Windows. Non-Windows platforms now use `intra_op_threads=4` by default,
improving inference speed for 768-dim and larger models by 2-4x.
- Hybrid search fusion: fallback to non-empty `filePath` when vector results have empty paths
(hash→path lookup failures no longer cause result mismatches).
- TSAN race in `daemon_search()`: pass `DaemonSearchOptions` by value to avoid stack reference
escaping to coroutine thread.
- TSAN race in `handle_streaming_request()`: check `connection_closing_` before `socket.is_open()`
to avoid race with `handle_connection` closing the socket.
- Compression stats now persist across daemon restarts (`Storage Logical Bytes` vs
`CAS Unique Raw Bytes` now show correct values).
- CLI rejects ambiguous subcommands (e.g., `yams search graph` → use `--query`).
- `--paths-only` search now returns results correctly.
- `yams watch` waits for daemon ready; always ignores `.git` contents.
- Expanded prune patterns for build artifacts and language caches.
- Fixed ONNX model loading deadlock on Windows (single-flight pattern, recursive mutex).
- Streaming: 30s chunk timeout, backpressure stops producer on queue overflow.
- `yams add` returns immediately; hash computed async during ingestion.
- Replaced experimental Boost.Asio APIs with stable `async_initiate` (fixes TSAN races).
