@ruvector/router 0.1.28 was found to have four serious bugs that
together broke production code-intelligence semantic search and
forced the v3.9.5 hotfix to disable native HNSW entirely:
1. HNSW search returned essentially random results — recall@10 was
0% on the project's FNV fixture and 10% on textbook unit-Gaussian
random vectors. The graph walk could not even find self-vectors
when querying with a stored vector. Reproduced deterministically
on linux-arm64; matches the linux-x64 GitHub Actions failures
reported in #399.
2. The VectorDb constructor unconditionally wrote a `vectors.db`
redb file to the current working directory, polluting users'
project roots with multi-MB files outside .agentic-qe/, in a
non-SQLite format that no AQE migration or backup tooling knew
about. Direct violation of the unified memory architecture.
3. The redb file held a process-wide exclusive lock — only ONE
VectorDb instance could exist per process. Subsequent constructors
threw "Database error: Database already open. Cannot acquire lock."
4. NAPI dispose did not synchronously release the redb lock (NAPI GC
is not synchronous). The lock outlived dispose() and caused the
v3.9.5 futex deadlock when the indexer tried to recreate after
reset.
NativeHnswBackend is rewritten to wrap hnswlib-node@^3.0.0 — the
canonical Node.js binding for Yury Malkov's reference C++ Hnswlib
implementation, used by Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, LangChain, and
ChromaDB. Empirical verification on the same fixture
(`scripts/diagnose-issue-399*.mjs`):
- hnswlib-node: recall@10 = 100%, top-1 = id 42 ✓
- @ruvector/router: recall@10 = 10%, top-1 = id 999 (random)
Insert is also faster (~324ms vs ~430ms for 1k vectors) and search
is comparable (0.35ms vs 0.21ms with correct vs wrong results).
No new dependency was added — `hnswlib-node` was already a direct
dependency in `package.json` from the legacy code path in
`src/integrations/embeddings/index/HNSWIndex.ts`.
Implementation notes:
- Drops the local `vectorStore` mirror that the previous backend
needed to re-score wrong native results — hnswlib-node returns
correct distances directly.
- Drops the `bruteForceSearch` private fallback — there is no
fallback path because hnswlib-node always returns correct results.
- `clear()` now recreates the underlying HierarchicalNSW from
scratch instead of just markDelete-ing every label. The
tombstone-only approach leaks state across long test runs that
share the singleton HnswAdapter registry, producing duplicate
labels from `searchKnn` after many cycles.
- `search()` overshoots k by 2x and dedups by id as a defensive
measure against any future hnswlib-node duplicate-label edge
case, then truncates back to k.
- `add()` doubles maxElements via `resizeIndex()` when the live id
count fills the current capacity, so callers don't need to know
the final index size at construction time.
- `useNativeHNSW` default flipped back to `true`. Users with large
codebases get sublinear HNSW search by default again.
- All four `@ruvector/router` failure modes have explicit regression
guards in the unit and integration test suites.
The two #399-skipped tests in `phase1-integration.test.ts`
(line 222 and 1185) are un-skipped and now pass green against the
new backend. The three flag-default tests that asserted
`useNativeHNSW: false` (broken by v3.9.5's hotfix) are updated to
assert `true` again.
Stale comments referencing `@ruvector/router`'s lock behavior are
updated in `src/kernel/unified-memory.ts`, `src/init/phases/06-code-intelligence.ts`,
`src/init/phases/10-workers.ts`, and `src/cli/index.ts`. The CLI
status output (`aqe ruvector status`) and the `useNativeHNSW` flag
description are updated to mention `hnswlib-node` instead of
`@ruvector/router`.

The full `npx vitest run tests/unit/` suite was hanging >22 minutes
since v3.9.1 due to a futex deadlock in `@ruvector/router` native NAPI
calls during HNSW VectorDb operations. v3.9.5 already addressed the
root cause by flipping `useNativeHNSW` default from true to false
(commit 3a1d9636). This commit closes the loop by:
1. Fixing the one fallout test introduced by that flag flip:
`tests/unit/cli/commands/ruvector-commands.test.ts:110` was setting
`useNativeHNSW: false` to test the (modified) marker, but false is
now the default, so the marker never appeared. Flipped to `true`.
2. Removing the `tests/setup-worker.ts` `process.exit(0)` force-exit
hack. It was added as a band-aid when fork workers hung on lingering
native handles. Since v3.9.3 added the `dispose()` contract on HNSW
backends and v3.9.5 disabled native HNSW by default, workers now
exit cleanly on their own. The 5-second main-process safety net in
`tests/global-teardown.ts` is intentionally kept as a last resort.
Verification (full `tests/unit/`, 505 files):
- Before this PR (with hack): 7m26s, 1 failed, 16308 passed
- After this PR (no hack): 6m21s, 0 failed, 16309 passed
The 1m05s saved comes from the per-file 2s force-exit delays the hack
was adding, even though the timer was unref'd.
Closes#396

All new RuVector capabilities (native HNSW, neural routing, coherence
gates, transfer learning, etc.) now ship enabled so users get immediate
value on upgrade. Users can disable individual features via CLI or
setRuVectorFeatureFlags() for opt-out.
Update 11 test files to match new defaults.
