No actual embedding computation occurred. + +2. **RAG Retrieval (parallel-workers.ts)** - The `ragRetrieve` and `contextRank` workers used keyword-matching (`string.includes()`) instead of semantic similarity on embeddings, despite the module claiming "Parallel RAG chunking and retrieval" and "Semantic deduplication." + +3. **DiskANN / Vamana (README, package.json)** - Claimed in README ("billion-scale SSD-backed ANN with <10ms latency") and package.json description/keywords, but no implementation exists anywhere in the codebase. + +All other 14 modules were verified as real implementations (see release v2.1.1 audit). + +## Decision + +### 1. Speculative Embedding - Implement real hash-based embedding + +Replace the stub with the same multi-hash embedding approach used in `intelligence-engine.ts` (FNV-1a + positional encoding). This produces deterministic, consistent embeddings from file content without requiring ONNX or native modules. The worker already has access to `fs` for reading file content. + +Embedding dimension: 128 (sufficient for co-edit prediction, avoids overhead of 384-dim). + +### 2. RAG Retrieval - Implement cosine similarity on embeddings + +When chunks include embeddings, use cosine similarity for ranking. Fall back to keyword matching only when embeddings are absent. This makes the existing `embedding?` field on `ContextChunk` actually functional. + +Also upgrade `contextRank` to use TF-IDF weighting instead of raw keyword matching. + +### 3. DiskANN - Remove false claims, add roadmap note + +DiskANN/Vamana requires SSD-backed graph storage with PQ compression — a significant implementation effort that should be a dedicated Rust crate. Rather than ship a stub, remove the claim from README/package.json and add it to a roadmap section. The existing HNSW index (backed by `hnsw_rs`) already provides fast ANN search for in-memory datasets. + +## Consequences + +- Speculative embedding becomes functional for co-edit prediction use cases +- RAG retrieval produces semantically meaningful results when embeddings are available +- README accurately reflects capabilities (no DiskANN claim without implementation) +- No new dependencies required (all implementations use existing math primitives) diff --git a/npm/packages/ruvector/README.md b/npm/packages/ruvector/README.md index b98bb720..80d40124 100644 --- a/npm/packages/ruvector/README.md +++ b/npm/packages/ruvector/README.md @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ **The fastest vector database for Node.js—built in Rust, runs everywhere** -Ruvector is a self-learning vector database with **enterprise-grade semantic search**, hybrid retrieval (sparse + dense), Graph RAG, FlashAttention-3, and billion-scale DiskANN — all in a single npm package.
