rUv c7a5f228c9 feat(rvf): RuVector Format — Universal Cognitive Container SDK (#166)
* feat(rvf): add RuVector Format universal substrate specification

Research and design for RVF — a streaming, progressive, adaptive, quantum-secure
binary format for vector intelligence. Covers append-only segment model, two-level
tail manifests, temperature tiering, progressive HNSW indexing, epoch-based overlay
system, SIMD-optimized query paths, WASM microkernel for Cognitum tiles, domain
profiles (RVDNA, RVText, RVGraph, RVVision), and post-quantum cryptography.

* feat(rvf): add deletion, filtered search, concurrency, and operations specs

Fill four specification gaps in the RVF format design:
- spec/07: Vector deletion lifecycle, JOURNAL_SEG wire format, deletion bitmaps
- spec/08: Filtered search with META_SEG, METAIDX_SEG, filter expression language
- spec/09: Writer locking, reader-writer coordination, versioning, space reclamation
- spec/10: Batch operations API, error codes, network streaming protocol

Also fixes the segment header field conflict between spec/01 and wire/binary-layout.md
(checksum_algo/compression now u8, adds uncompressed_len at 0x38).

https://claude.ai/code/session_01DDqjGE51JpsRE3DgUjFyjW

* feat(rvf): add RuVector Format SDK, 40 examples, MCP server, and documentation

Complete RVF implementation including:
- 12 Rust crates (rvf-types, rvf-wire, rvf-manifest, rvf-index, rvf-quant,
  rvf-crypto, rvf-runtime, rvf-import, rvf-wasm, rvf-node, rvf-server,
  plus integration tests)
- 40 runnable examples covering core storage, agentic AI, production
  patterns, vertical domains, exotic capabilities, runtime targets,
  network/security, POSIX/systems, and network operations
- TypeScript SDK (npm/packages/rvf) with RvfDatabase class
- MCP server (npm/packages/rvf-mcp-server) with stdio and SSE transports
- Node.js N-API bindings (npm/packages/rvf-node)
- WASM package (npm/packages/rvf-wasm)
- ADR-029 (canonical format), ADR-030 (computational container),
  ADR-031 (example repository)
- DNA-style lineage provenance, computational containers (KERNEL_SEG,
  EBPF_SEG), witness chains, TEE attestation, domain profiles
- Superseded ADR annotations for ADR-001, ADR-005, ADR-006, ADR-018-021

* feat(rvf): add CLI, WASM store, generate_all, and 46 output .rvf files

- Add rvf-cli crate (665 lines, 9 subcommands: create/ingest/query/delete/status/inspect/compact/derive/serve)
- Add WASM control plane store (alloc_setup, segment, store modules) for ~46 KB binary
- Add generate_all.rs example producing 46 persistent .rvf files in output/
- Add Node.js N-API bindings for lineage, kernel/eBPF, and inspection
- Add npm TypeScript backend/database/types for RVF integration
- Update READMEs with CLI sections, MCP server docs, and crate map (13 crates)
- All 40 examples verified passing

Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net>

* feat(rvf): add Claude Code appliance, improve Quick Start, fix API docs

- Add claude_code_appliance.rs: self-booting RVF with SSH + Claude Code
  install (curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash), 3 SSH users,
  eBPF filter, 20-package manifest, witness chain, lineage snapshot
- Improve Quick Start: Install section (crate/CLI/npm/WASM/MCP), WASM
  browser example, generate_all reference, expanded Rust crate deps
- Fix embed_kernel/embed_ebpf API docs to match actual signatures
  (u8 params with `as u8` cast, 6-param kernel, Option<&[u8]> btf)
- Update generate_all.rs: add claude_code_appliance generator (47 files)
- Regenerate all 47 output .rvf files

* feat(rvf): add RVCOW branching, real kernel/eBPF/launcher, 795 tests

Vector-native copy-on-write branching (ADR-031) with four new segment
types (COW_MAP 0x20, REFCOUNT 0x21, MEMBERSHIP 0x22, DELTA 0x23),
real Linux microkernel builder, QEMU microVM launcher, real eBPF
programs, and 128-byte KernelBinding for tamper-evident kernel-manifest
linkage.

New crates:
- rvf-kernel: Docker-based kernel build, real cpio/newc initramfs builder,
  SHA3-256 verification, prebuilt kernel support (37 tests)
- rvf-launch: QEMU microVM launcher with QMP shutdown, KVM/TCG detection,
  virtio-blk/net port forwarding, kernel extraction (8 tests)
- rvf-ebpf: 3 real BPF C programs (xdp_distance, socket_filter,
  tc_query_route) with clang compilation support (17 tests)

RVCOW runtime:
- CowEngine with read/write paths, write coalescing, snapshot-freeze
- CowMap (flat-array), MembershipFilter (bitmap), CowCompactor
- 3x read performance via pread optimization (1.3us/vector)
- Branch creation: 2.6ms for 10K vectors, child = 162 bytes

Security: 20-finding audit, 7 fixes applied including division-by-zero
guards, integer overflow checks, and KernelBinding::from_bytes_validated().

CLI: 8 new commands (launch, embed-kernel, embed-ebpf, filter, freeze,
verify-witness, verify-attestation, rebuild-refcounts), serve wired to
real rvf-server.

* feat(rvf): update README, add crate/npm READMEs, publish to crates.io and npm

- Rewrite README with cognitive container terminology, grouped features,
  4 comparison tables (vs Docker, Vector DBs, Git LFS, SQLite), updated
  benchmarks, architecture diagram, and 45 examples
- Add READMEs for rvf-kernel, rvf-launch, rvf-ebpf, rvf-import crates
- Add READMEs for @ruvector/rvf, rvf-node, rvf-wasm, rvf-mcp-server npm packages
