A 10 million document corpus takes 31 GB of RAM as float32. turbovec fits it in 4 GB - and searches it faster than FAISS.

turbovec is a Rust vector index with Python bindings, built on Google Research's TurboQuant algorithm — a data-oblivious quantizer with near-optimal distortion and no separate training phase.

- Online ingest. Add vectors, they're indexed — no train step, no parameter tuning, no rebuilds as the corpus grows.
- Fast SIMD search. Hand-written kernels — NEON SDOT/SMMLA on ARM, AVX-512 VNNI and vpermb on x86, with AVX2 and scalar fallbacks — beat FAISS IndexPQFastScan in every measured config, averaging 3.4× at 4-bit and 23% at 2-bit across the eight cells of each width, on both architectures.
- Incremental saves. sync(path) persists just what changed since the last sync — one fsync per call, crash-safe at any byte, and a removal or a small append costs milliseconds however large the index. write/load stay for whole-file snapshots.
- Filter at search time. Pass an id allowlist (or a slot bitmask) to search() and the kernel honours it directly. You always get up to k results from the allowed set — no over-fetching, no recall hit on selective filters.
- Pure local. No managed service, no data leaving your machine or VPC. Pair with any open-source embedding model for a fully air-gapped RAG stack.

Building RAG where privacy, memory, or latency matters? You're in the right place.

Python

bash

pip install turbovec

python

from turbovec import TurboQuantIndex
index = TurboQuantIndex(dim=1536, bit_width=4)
index.add(vectors)
index.add(more_vectors)
scores, indices = index.search(query, k=10)
index.write("my_index.tv")
loaded = TurboQuantIndex.load("my_index.tv")index.sync("my_index.tv")   # after more changes: durable incremental save

vectors and query are 2-D float32 arrays of shape (n, dim) — other dtypes are rejected rather than silently converted, so cast with np.asarray(x, dtype=np.float32) first if needed.

Need stable ids that survive deletes? Use IdMapIndex:

python

import numpy as np
from turbovec import IdMapIndex
index = IdMapIndex(dim=1536, bit_width=4)
index.add_with_ids(vectors, np.array([1001, 1002, 1003], dtype=np.uint64))
scores, ids = index.search(query, k=10)   # ids are your uint64 external ids
index.remove(1002)                         # O(1) by id
index.write("my_index.tvim")
loaded = IdMapIndex.load("my_index.tvim")index.sync("my_index.tvim")   # durable incremental save, ids included

Hybrid retrieval (filtered search)

Restrict results to a candidate set produced by another system (SQL, BM25, ACL, time window, …):

python

import numpy as np
from turbovec import IdMapIndex
idx = IdMapIndex(dim=1536, bit_width=4)
idx.add_with_ids(vectors, ids)
Stage 1: external system narrows to candidate ids.

allowed = np.array(db.execute("SELECT id FROM docs WHERE tenant=?", (t,)).fetchall(),
                   dtype=np.uint64)
Stage 2: dense rerank within the candidate set.

scores, ids = idx.search(query, k=10, allowlist=allowed)

Filtering happens inside the SIMD kernel at 32-vector block granularity: blocks with no allowed slots are short-circuited before any LUT lookup or scoring work, and individual non-allowed slots inside scored blocks are dropped at heap-insert. Selective allowlists (small fraction of the index allowed) therefore avoid most of the SIMD cost rather than paying it and discarding the result afterwards.

The output length is min(k, n_allowed), where n_allowed counts distinct allowed vectors — when fewer vectors are allowed than k you get exactly that many results rather than padded fallbacks.

See docs/api.md for the full reference.

Recall

TurboQuant vs FAISS IndexPQ (LUT256, nbits=8) — the paper's Section 4.4 baseline. 100K vectors, k=64. FAISS PQ sub-quantizer counts sized to match TurboQuant's bit rate (m=d/4 at 2-bit, m=d/2 at 4-bit).

The charts plot calibrated TurboQuant (TQ+). Across OpenAI d=1536 and d=3072, TQ+ beats FAISS at R@1 on three of four cells (by 0.9–2.9 points; d=1536 4-bit trails by 0.7), and both reach 1.0 by k=8 (≥0.997 already at k≤4). GloVe d=200 is the harder regime — at low dim the asymptotic Beta assumption is looser. TQ+ lands ahead of FAISS at R@1 at both bit widths (+1.9 at 4-bit, +0.8 at 2-bit), with FAISS keeping a slim edge at 2-bit from k≈8. Uncalibrated numbers are in the JSONs (tq_recalls).

A note on baselines. We compare against FAISS IndexPQ (LUT256, nbits=8, float32 LUT) because it's the default production-grade PQ most users would reach for. This is a stronger baseline than the custom u8-LUT PQ in the TurboQuant paper — FAISS uses a higher-precision LUT at scoring time and k-means++ for codebook training. We reproduce the paper's TurboQuant numbers on OpenAI d=1536 / d=3072 and hit similar numbers to other community reference implementations on low-dim embeddings (see turboquant-py at d=384). On GloVe (d=200) — the low-dim regime where the asymptotic Beta assumption is loosest — TurboQuant lands ahead of FAISS at 4-bit but trails it at 2-bit; TQ+ calibration recovers the 2-bit deficit at R@1 (0.572 vs FAISS's 0.564), with FAISS keeping a slim edge at deeper k.

Full results: d=1536 2-bit, d=1536 4-bit, d=3072 2-bit, d=3072 4-bit, GloVe 2-bit, GloVe 4-bit.

Compression

Search Speed

All benchmarks: 100K vectors, 1K queries, k=64, median of 5 runs.

ARM (GCP c4a-standard-8, Google Axion, 8 vCPUs)

On ARM, TurboQuant beats FAISS FastScan in every config, averaging 3.5× at 4-bit (3.4–3.7× across cells — the SDOT/SMMLA dot-product kernels score the vector-major layout directly) and 26% at 2-bit (22–29%).

x86 (Intel Xeon Platinum 8481C / Sapphire Rapids, 8 vCPUs)

On x86, TurboQuant wins every config, averaging 3.4× at 4-bit (3.2–3.5× across cells — the AVX-512 VNNI dot-product kernel on the vector-major layout) and 20% at 2-bit (5–32%), where the vpermb LUT scan carries the short 2-bit accumulate loop.

Insertion & Removal Latency

Same corpus as the search cells: 100K OpenAI vectors, median of 5 runs, timed loops including the Python-call overhead a caller actually pays per op. Insertion measures per-vector add() latency on a warm, populated index (built untimed) at n=1 — a single-vector add() — and n=100 — a 100-vector batch, showing how far batching amortizes the per-call overhead — against add() into the trained, populated FAISS IndexPQFastScan (training untimed). A single add() lands in 6.3–19.7 µs depending on the cell (7.6–13.9× faster than a FAISS single add), and a 100-vector batch amortizes TurboQuant to 4.6–16.3 µs/vector (4.6–15.1× faster than the same batch into FAISS). Removal measures per-op remove-by-id latency at n=1 (the steady per-op rate over 1000 removes) and n=100 (the first 100 removes on a fresh index): IdMapIndex.remove(id) — O(1) swap-and-pop plus the id-map bookkeeping — lands at 0.44–1.22 µs and 0.59–1.37 µs per op across the cells. The FAISS column is the same user-visible operation, remove_ids on an IndexIDMap over IndexPQFastScan, which repacks the stored codes on every call: 0.19–1.02 s per single remove at 100K, with cost doubling alongside code size — which is why the removal charts use a log-scale axis. Charts show the single-threaded cells (RAYON_NUM_THREADS=1); the _mt cells are measured too and match at n=1, since a single add is serial. Scripts: benchmarks/suite/.

ARM (GCP c4a-standard-8, Google Axion, 8 vCPUs)

Full results: d=1536 2-bit insert, d=1536 4-bit insert, d=3072 2-bit insert, d=3072 4-bit insert, and the matching speed_remove_* and _mt files.

x86 (Intel Xeon Platinum 8481C / Sapphire Rapids, 8 vCPUs)

Full results: d=1536 2-bit insert, d=1536 4-bit insert, d=3072 2-bit insert, d=3072 4-bit insert, and the matching speed_remove_* and _mt files.

Save & Load

Same corpus as the search cells: 100K OpenAI vectors, median of 5 runs. TurboQuant serializes to a single .tv file with an fsync + atomic rename; FAISS is write_index / read_index on the precision-matched IndexPQFastScan (sub-quantizer count matched to TurboQuant's bit rate, as in the search cells). Save (warm) is a write after a search has run, so the blocked layout cache is populated. Load → first search opens a fresh index and times the first query — separating bare deserialization (the page cache is warm throughout, so this is layout work, not cold-storage I/O) from the first-query cost. Round-trip chains the checkpoint/resume cycle an embedding store actually pays — mutate 1K vectors → save → reopen → serve the first query; FAISS has no measured equivalent for this path, so it is shown for TurboQuant only. On the smaller payloads the round-trip can come in below the isolated post-mutation ("dirty") write: the two are timed in separate suite steps, and at small file sizes the standalone fsync in the dirty-write step dominates and inflates it — a measurement artifact of the harness, not a repack win in the combined path. Single-threaded cells pin RAYON_NUM_THREADS=1. Scripts: benchmarks/suite/.

ARM (GCP c4a-standard-8, Google Axion, 8 vCPUs)

Full results: d=1536 2-bit persist ST, MT, d=1536 4-bit persist ST, MT, d=3072 2-bit persist ST, MT, d=3072 4-bit persist ST, MT.

x86 (Intel Xeon Platinum 8481C / Sapphire Rapids, 8 vCPUs)

Full results: d=1536 2-bit persist ST, MT, d=1536 4-bit persist ST, MT, d=3072 2-bit persist ST, MT, d=3072 4-bit persist ST, MT.

How it works

Each vector is a direction on a high-dimensional hypersphere. TurboQuant compresses these directions using a simple insight: after applying a random rotation, every coordinate follows a known distribution -- regardless of the input data.

1. Normalize. Strip the length (norm) from each vector and store it as a single float. Now every vector is a unit direction on the hypersphere.

2. Random rotation. Multiply all vectors by the same random orthogonal matrix. After rotation, each coordinate independently follows a Beta distribution that converges to Gaussian N(0, 1/d) in high dimensions. This holds for any input data -- the rotation makes the coordinate distribution predictable.

3. Per-coordinate calibration (TQ+). The Beta distribution from step 2 is asymptotic — at finite dimensions, individual coordinates drift from the canonical shape (especially low-bit and word-vector-style embeddings). TQ+ fits two scalars per coordinate — a shift and a scale — mapping each coordinate's empirical quantiles onto the codebook's outermost centroids. The probability level comes from the codebook, so it tracks the bit width (~0.933 at 2-bit, ~0.996 at 4-bit) rather than being fixed. The Lloyd-Max codebook then quantizes against the target distribution it was designed for. The fit is explicit: call index.calibrate(sample) once with a random, representative sample of your vectors (~1024 rows is enough — a draw of that size matches fitting on the whole corpus) before adding; afterwards the calibration is committed and reused by every add — no retraining, no rebuilds, no separate train phase. An index you never calibrate is plain TurboQuant. index.calibration_state reports "uncalibrated" or "calibrated". Recall gain: up to +2.2pp at @1 on the cells that drift most (e.g. GloVe at 2-bit).

4. Lloyd-Max scalar quantization. Since the distribution is known, we can precompute the optimal way to bucket each coordinate. For 2-bit, that's 4 buckets; for 4-bit, 16 buckets. The Lloyd-Max algorithm finds bucket boundaries and centroids that minimize mean squared error. These are computed once from the math, not from the data.

5. Bit-pack. Each coordinate is now a small integer (0-3 for 2-bit, 0-15 for 4-bit). Pack these tightly into bytes. A 1536-dim vector goes from 6,144 bytes (FP32) to 384 bytes (2-bit). That's 16x compression.

6. Length-renormalized scoring. Scalar quantization systematically underestimates inner products — the reconstructed unit direction is a little shorter than the original. We compute one scalar per vector at encode time — the inner product of the rotated unit vector with its own centroid reconstruction — and store ||v|| / ⟨u, x̂⟩ alongside each compressed vector. The search kernel multiplies the per-candidate score by this scalar before heap insertion, turning the inner-product estimator from downward-biased into unbiased at zero search-time cost and zero extra storage. The recall gain shows up most at low bit widths, where the quantization shrinkage is largest.

Encoding cost: one extra d-dimensional dot product per vector to compute ⟨u, x̂⟩. On 1M vectors at d=1536 this is sub-second of additional encode time — a one-shot price paid at ingest, not at query.

Search. Instead of decompressing every database vector, we rotate the query once into the same domain and score directly against the codebook values. The scoring kernel uses SIMD intrinsics (NEON on ARM; AVX-512BW on modern x86, falling back to AVX2, then to a scalar path on pre-AVX2 CPUs) with nibble-split lookup tables for maximum throughput.

The Lloyd-Max codebook achieves distortion within a factor of 2.7x of the information-theoretic lower bound (Shannon's distortion-rate limit); the length-renormalization step removes the residual bias the Lloyd-Max codebook introduces on the inner-product estimator itself.

Building

Python (via maturin)

bash

pip install maturin
cd turbovec-python
maturin build --release
pip install target/wheels/*.whl

Rust

bash

cargo build --release

All x86_64 builds target x86-64-v2 (SSE4.2 baseline, Nehalem 2008+) via .cargo/config.toml, so any x86-64-v2 CPU can run the whole crate. The AVX-512 and AVX2 kernels are #[target_feature]-gated and selected at runtime via is_x86_feature_detected!, so they kick in on hardware that supports them regardless of the compile baseline; CPUs with neither run the scalar fallback.

Running benchmarks

Download datasets:

bash

python3 benchmarks/download_data.py all            # all datasets
python3 benchmarks/download_data.py glove          # GloVe d=200
python3 benchmarks/download_data.py openai-1536    # OpenAI DBpedia d=1536
python3 benchmarks/download_data.py openai-3072    # OpenAI DBpedia d=3072

Each benchmark is a self-contained script in benchmarks/suite/. Run any one individually:

bash

python3 benchmarks/suite/speed_d1536_2bit_arm_mt.py
python3 benchmarks/suite/recall_d1536_2bit.py
python3 benchmarks/suite/compression.py

Run all benchmarks for a category:

bash

for f in benchmarks/suite/speed_arm.py; do python3 "$f"; done    # all ARM speed
for f in benchmarks/suite/speed_x86.py; do python3 "$f"; done    # all x86 speed
for f in benchmarks/suite/recall_*.py; do python3 "$f"; done       # all recall
python3 benchmarks/suite/compression.py                            # compression

Results are saved as JSON to benchmarks/results/. Regenerate charts:

bash

python3 benchmarks/create_diagrams.py

Quick harness for optimization work

The suite above is the source of every published number — real embeddings,
FAISS comparator, fixed shapes, run on the two official environments. For the
inner loop of an optimization pass there's also a Rust harness that reproduces
the four mutation metrics (cold bulk add, warm append, single add, remove) on
deterministic synthetic vectors, so a hypothesis can be measured in seconds on
any machine with no dataset and no FAISS:

bash

cargo run --release --example insert_bench -- --dim 1536 --bits 2
RAYON_NUM_THREADS=1 cargo run --release --example insert_bench

It is a screening tool, not a source of published numbers.

examples/encode_hash prints a per-stage hash of the encode pipeline for a
fixed input; CI runs it on every OS in the matrix and fails if they disagree,
which is how cross-platform byte identity of the encode is checked.

CONTRIBUTING (CONTRIBUTING.md)

Contributing

Thanks for your interest in turbovec.

Workflow

1. Open an issue describing what you've spotted — a bug, a missing feature, a documentation gap, a performance question. Include enough context that the conversation can start without back-and-forth on what you mean.
2. Discuss. If you want to suggest an implementation approach, do that in the issue. This is where the design conversation lives.
3. Request contributor access if you want to land code yourself. In your issue or in a follow-up, say so explicitly — e.g. "happy to take this; can I get contributor access?" I'll review the engagement so far and decide. If yes, I'll add you as a collaborator and you can open a PR for the issue.

If you don't request contributor access, that's fine — the issue itself is a valuable contribution, and I (or another contributor) may pick it up.

There is no size-based fast path. A typo, a one-line fix and a docs-only
change all go through the same issue-first flow — the point of the issue
is the shared context, not the size of the diff.

Only I merge to main.

Why this is the workflow

The contributions that move turbovec forward are good ideas, clearly articulated — a sharp framing of a real problem, the right question to ask, an insight about how something should work, a benchmark observation that points at a real gap. That's the work I most need help with, and the work hardest to delegate. A well-written issue is more valuable than a PR.

The reason I've moved to invitation-only PRs is that the cost of reviewing a PR I have to mentally reconstruct from scratch — figure out what it's trying to do, why, whether it's correct, whether it fits the project's direction — is higher than just writing the change myself. This has become particularly acute with AI-assisted PRs that are technically clean but arrive without the design context or reasoning that makes review tractable. When the cognitive load of review exceeds the cognitive load of writing the change, the PR is a net loss for the project.

The "by invitation" gate isn't about credentials — it's about making sure the issue-side work has happened first, so when a PR arrives, review can be about the code rather than reconstructing the why. Contributors who've done that work via issue engagement are a joy to review. PRs that arrive cold without context aren't.

For invited contributors: commit and PR conventions

- One logical change per PR. Refactors get their own PR, separate from feature work.
- Commit messages: short imperative title, body explaining why (the what is in the diff). Multi-line bodies should preserve formatting — use a HEREDOC if writing from the shell.
- PRs reference their issue with Closes #N and include a test plan.
- Co-Authored-By: trailers are fine on commits where Claude or another tool collaborated — leave them in place.

The changelog gate

CI fails a PR that changes shipped code without touching CHANGELOG.md. It
exists because four consecutive fix commits landed a new cargo feature, two new
public API items, a new load-rejection class and a removed importable module
with no changelog line between them — nothing enforced it, so it depended on
whoever wrote the PR remembering.

The gate is narrow on purpose. It only looks at:

- turbovec/src/.rs (excluding the test-only kernel_tests.rs)
- turbovec-python/src/.rs
- turbovec-python/python/turbovec/.py, which includes the four framework
integrations
- turbovec/Cargo.toml, turbovec-python/Cargo.toml and
turbovec-python/pyproject.toml — cargo features, MSRV, requires-python,
the extras and the dependency floors are all user-visible packaging surface

and within those it ignores two kinds of change: comments and blank lines, and
anything inside a #[cfg(test)] region. So a comment sweep doesn't trip it,
and neither does landing a regression test beside your fix — which is the
workflow we want, not one to tax. Tests, benchmarks, examples, docs and
workflows are out of scope entirely.

Write the entry under ## [Unreleased], under the surface it affects — the
Rust crate and the Python distribution version independently and each has its
own subsection. Describe the change as a user experiences it, and reference the
issue. The gate checks that the diff actually added a non-blank line under
## [Unreleased]; touching the file is not enough.

Escape hatch

For a change that genuinely is not user-visible — an internal refactor, a
private helper, a docstring rewrite the comment heuristic can't see through —
say so explicitly, either way:

- add the skip-changelog label to the PR, or
- put [skip changelog] alone on its own line in the PR body.

The marker has to be the whole line, and must not be inside a code block.
Mentioning it in a sentence — quoting this page, noting that you deliberately
didn't use it, or showing it in a fenced block — does not disarm the gate.
That is not hypothetical: the first version of this check used a plain
substring test and silently disabled itself on the PR that introduced it.

Both forms re-trigger the gate when you add them, and both leave the decision
recorded on the PR, so "this needs no entry" is a visible claim someone can
disagree with rather than a silent omission.

The mutation gate

A separate check mutates the code your PR touched and fails if the test suite
doesn't notice. It exists because an audit of fifteen fix commits found six
that shipped a test which also passes on the unfixed code — reverting the fix
left the suite green. A test that cannot fail isn't coverage.

It runs only against turbovec/src lines in your diff, and only up to a
per-PR cap; above that it samples across the diff rather than exhausting the
first file. A green tick on a large PR therefore means "the sample was clean",
not "every mutant was caught".

Each MISSED line names an edit to your change that nothing caught. Usually
the answer is an assertion that discriminates — if the fix is a perf change,
that means asserting the property the fast path is supposed to preserve, or
bounding the work done, not just re-checking the result.

Escape hatch

Some mutants are genuinely equivalent, and some lines have no observable
semantics to assert on. Say so explicitly:

- add the skip-mutants label to the PR, or
- put [skip mutants] alone on its own line in the PR body.

As with the changelog gate, the marker must be the whole line and outside any
code block — mentioning it in prose, or showing it in a fence, does not disarm
the check. Both gates share one implementation of this rule.

A TIMEOUT line is a different thing from a MISSED one: it means the mutated
build outran the per-mutant cap, which is sometimes a genuine runaway loop and
sometimes just a slow runner. The log says which response is appropriate.

What CI checks

Beyond the release-profile test matrix, ci.yml runs:

- Rust (debug profile). The release matrix elides debug_assert! and
integer-overflow checks, so the block-alignment and buffer-length invariants
guarding the SIMD kernels never executed. This leg runs the unit tests plus
the suites that drive those paths, in debug. The io_v6 suite is excluded:
unoptimized it is dominated by the per-load codebook solve and it carries no
debug_assert! coverage of its own.
- Clippy, on a pinned toolchain, with an explicit allow-list of the
lint classes the tree already triggers. A class that isn't on the list fails
the build; a new instance of a listed class does not. The allow-list is a
debt list, and burning entries off it is a welcome standalone PR. If you bump
the pinned version, recalibrate the list in the same PR — and do it against
both targets, because findings inside #[cfg(target_arch = ...)] blocks
are invisible on the other architecture. The job lints x86_64 natively and
makes a second pass over --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu so the NEON
kernels are covered too. The recipe is in the comment above the job.
- Integration extras at their declared floors. pyproject.toml's >=
constraints are turned into == pins and the four integration suites run
against them, so the oldest supported release of each framework is actually
executed rather than resolved past.

cargo fmt --check is deliberately not run — see the note in ci.yml.

Integration contributions

If you're adding or modifying an integration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack, Agno, or a new framework), structurally compare against the canonical in-tree reference store (InMemoryVectorStore, SimpleVectorStore, InMemoryDocumentStore, etc.) for that framework. The wrappers should match the reference's surface and idioms — that's the bar for a drop-in replacement.

Build, test, bench

See the Building and Running benchmarks sections of the README. To run the integration test suites (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack, Agno), install the corresponding extras — otherwise they're skipped:

bash

pip install -e ".[langchain,llama-index,haystack,agno]"

SECURITY (SECURITY.md)

Security Policy

Thank you for helping keep turbovec and its users safe. Security reports are
genuinely appreciated.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for a security vulnerability. A public
report tips off attackers before a fix is available.

Instead, report it privately through GitHub:

1. Go to the Security tab
of this repository.
2. Click "Report a vulnerability" to open a private advisory visible only
to the maintainers.

This routes the report through GitHub's private vulnerability reporting, where
we can discuss, develop, and review a fix — and, if appropriate, request a CVE
— without disclosing the issue until a patch is ready.

What to include

A good report makes a fix faster. Where you can, please include:

- the affected component (core Rust crate, Python bindings, or a specific
framework integration) and the version,
- a description of the issue and its impact,
- a minimal reproduction — for a malformed-input bug, the crafted .tv /
.tvim bytes or the API call sequence that triggers it,
- the platform/architecture if relevant.

What to expect

- We aim to acknowledge a report within a few days.
- We will confirm the issue, keep you updated on the fix, and coordinate a
disclosure timeline with you.
- With your permission, we will credit you in the published advisory.

Once a fix is released, we publish a GitHub Security Advisory so that the
vulnerability is recorded in the GitHub Advisory Database and downstream users
on crates.io and PyPI are alerted (e.g. via Dependabot) to upgrade.

Supported versions

turbovec is pre-1.0 and ships frequently. Security fixes target the latest
released version of each surface:

- the turbovec crate on crates.io, and
- the turbovec distribution on PyPI.

Please reproduce on the latest release before reporting where possible.

Scope

In scope — for example:

- memory-unsafety or out-of-bounds access reachable from the public API,
- a panic, crash, or unbounded allocation triggered by loading an untrusted
.tv / .tvim index file,
- a panic or silently-wrong result reachable from normal Python/Rust API use
(e.g. malformed query input),
- data-integrity defects in the framework integration wrappers.

Generally out of scope:

- resource exhaustion driven only by a caller's own legitimately-large data on
a supported (64-bit) target,
- behavior on unsupported targets (turbovec requires a 64-bit platform and
refuses to compile elsewhere).

When in doubt, report it — we would rather triage an out-of-scope report than
miss a real one.

Make 2-bit search faster. Score: harmonic mean of 8 per-cell speedups at
bit_width=2 — {arm, x86} x {ST, MT} x {nq=1, nq=100}, k=10, N=200k,
dim=768, equal weights, against a baseline pinned at the climb HEAD.

A win is HM > x1.01 with no cell regressing. Gates: bitwise-identical scores,
ids and tie-break order; cargo test -p turbovec green; no point of the nq
sweep (1..16, 32, 64) or N sweep (1k, 8k, 32k, 200k) regressing >3%.

4-bit does not gate anything. Measure and record it on each win; never drop a
2-bit win for it.

Every hypothesis is logged with its measurements and verdict, win or not.
Done at 20 consecutive non-wins; a win resets the count.

Benchmarks/Hillclimb/GOAL Mutate (benchmarks/hillclimb/GOAL_mutate.md)

Live-index mutation hill-climb — goal

Maximize the weighted harmonic mean of eight per-cell speedups vs the pinned
baseline: {arm, x86} x {bulk, append, single, remove}, weights bulk 2,
append 2, single 1, remove 2. remove is the mean of the swap_remove and
IdMapIndex.remove speedups. Every win must hold at RAYON_NUM_THREADS=1 as
well as multi-threaded — an ST regression is a failed hypothesis, not a
trade-off. Correctness is never traded: the to_bytes() digests and the search
top-k of parity_mutate.py must match the baseline exactly, and no other
benchmark cell may regress beyond noise.

A win is >1% on the harmonic mean of the target op's arm+x86 cells with neither
of them regressing. Loop: hypothesize -> smoke (<3 min, both boxes) ->
soak-confirm (<15 min) only on a passing smoke. Every hypothesis is logged with
its measurements and verdict, pass or fail. Stop after 20 consecutive winless
hypotheses; any win resets the counter.

Rig

Measure only on this goal's own pair — turbovec-bench-mutate (c3-standard-8)
and turbovec-bench-arm-mutate (c4a-standard-8), both in pydocs-prod
/ us-central1-a, built from images of the masters turbovec-bench /
turbovec-bench-arm. Never measure locally or on the masters. rm -rf target
before each release build; LD_PRELOAD the arch's libopenblas. Stop the pair
when idle, delete it at termination.

Note: the ARM master is a c4a (GEN_4 / Marvell), which GCP machine images do not
support, so both boxes are built from boot-disk images instead — same contents,
supported path.

Harness

- bench_mutate.py — the five raw timings, MT and --st, at N=200k, dim=768,
4-bit.
- whm_mutate.py — scores a candidate against the baseline; gates the _st
cells and the single-add sanity ratio.
- parity_mutate.py — the correctness oracle.
- data/base__all.json, data/parity_base_.json — the pinned baselines.

Sanity gate

Single-add takes no pool handoff, so a contaminated grid shows up as the
single-add MT/ST ratio drifting. The ratio is not 1.0 on baseline core: an MT
1-row add pays a with_pool install that the ST sentinel pool folds away, a
stable x1.35 on arm (reproduced exactly across two independent runs). So the
gate is drift of that ratio away from the baseline's own ratio, not its distance
from 1.0.

Benchmarks/Hillclimb/GOAL Persist (benchmarks/hillclimb/GOAL_persist.md)

Whole-file persistence hill-climb — goal

Maximize the WHM of the eight persistence cells — save_warm (weight 1),
save_mut (weight 2), load (weight 2) and load_search (weight 0,
gate-only) measured on arm and x86 — against the baselines pinned in
benchmarks/results/persist_baseline.json. Scope is whole-file
persistence: write() / write_with_durability down through the atomic
temp-file protocol, and load() down through the v6 fast path, on both
arches. load_search carries no weight; it exists solely to veto a
"win" that shifts cost out of load and into the first search.

A win is: the target op's arm+x86 HM > x1.01, neither of its two
cells regressing, every other measured cell (including the _st guard
cells) within 3%, cargo test -p turbovec green, and to_bytes
round-trip equality preserved. The durability floor — payload fsync
before an atomic rename, plus the parent-directory fsync — is never
traded for speed, and neither is the temp-file protocol that keeps a
reader from ever seeing a torn index.

Measurement happens only on this goal's own GCP pair,
turbovec-bench-persist / turbovec-bench-arm-persist in
pydocs-prod / us-central1-a, cloned from the masters
turbovec-bench / turbovec-bench-arm. Never on the masters, never
locally. rm -rf target before each release build; LD_PRELOAD the
arch's libopenblas.

Loop: hypothesize → smoke (<3 min, both boxes) → soak-confirm (<15 min)
on a passing smoke only. Every hypothesis is logged in LOG_persist.md
with its measurements and verdict, pass or fail. Stop after 20
consecutive winless hypotheses; any win resets the counter.

Prior art this climb inherits

The six-op climb (LOG.md, H15/H16/H19/H22/H23/H26/H28/H29/H31/H33/H34/
H41/H42) and the earlier save- and coldload-specific climbs already
refuted, at the save/load cells: fallocate before the write,
sync_file_range writeback during it, fdatasync instead of fsync,
writer-thread counts above 4, fixed 2/4/8 MB write chunks, 4 MB load
read chunks on both arches, tail-after-codes ordering, bulk u64 tail
serialization, and mmap-based load. Re-opening any of them requires
saying which measurement stopped covering it — the new save_warm cell
and the ARM-side asymmetries are legitimate grounds; a bare retry is
not.

Benchmarks/Hillclimb/LOG (benchmarks/hillclimb/LOG.md)

Six-op hill-climb — results log

Objective: WHM of 12 per-cell speedups vs benchmarks/results/hillclimb_baseline.json
(weights search 3, insert 2, delete 2, save 1, load 1, load_search 0 — gate-only).
Win = target op HM(arm,x86) > x1.01, no target cell regressing, all other cells
within 3% noise, correctness + durability floor never traded. Stop: 20 consecutive
non-wins.

Bench: benchmarks/hillclimb/bench_ops.py (N=200k, dim=768, 4-bit). Smoke = 5 reps
both arches; soak = 15 reps. x86 = GCP c3-standard-8 (Sapphire Rapids).

Non-win streak: 0

Baseline

Pinned in benchmarks/results/hillclimb_baseline.json (15 reps/arch, core = main
b8328d4). Measured noise, established by interleaved old/new A/B runs during H1:
ARM save ±20%, ARM load ±40%, x86 search bimodal (67–117 ms band under neighbor
noise), x86 load ±30%. The 3% gate in whm.py is the systematic bar; apparent
cell moves inside these bands need an interleaved A/B before they count as real
regressions.

Hypotheses

H1 — parallelize `seq_to_packed` (target: insert)

The first mutation after a v6 load materializes packed_codes from the blocked
cache via pack::seq_to_packed, a scalar single-threaded loop — 1.7 s ARM /
3.1 s x86 of the insert cell's total, and the same cost opens the delete cell.
Rows are independent → rayon over block-aligned row chunks, serial below 4 MB
(same threshold as interleave_blocks_x86_in_place).

- Smoke (5 reps): insert-arm 1649→160 ms, delete-arm 1725→224; insert-x86
3128→569, delete-x86 3278→715. PASS.
- Soak (15 reps): insert x10.39 (arm) / x5.02 (x86), delete x7.91 / x4.27;
target HM x6.77, WHM x1.53. whm.py flagged search-x86 x0.945, save-arm x0.727,
load-x86 x0.774, load_search-arm x0.949 — all cleared by interleaved old/new
A/B on both arches (no systematic difference; see noise bands above).
- Correctness: full cargo test -p turbovec --lib + io_v6 + io_hardening green;
seq_to_packed round-trip covered by existing pack tests.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (b635e1b).
- Post-hoc ST verification (after the objective grew _st cells): x86_st insert
3153.8 vs 3153.1 baseline (parity — 1-thread pool takes the chunked path at
serial speed), arm_st insert 1556 vs 1829 (faster). No single-core tax.

Harness change (not a hypothesis)

Ryan's directive mid-run: ops must be optimized for both multicore and
single-core. Added --st mode (RAYON_NUM_THREADS=1) → 24 cells total
({arm,x86,arm_st,x86_st} × 6 ops). ST baselines pinned with pre-H1 core.
A win now requires the target op's 4-cell HM > x1.01 with no target cell
regressing. Full cargo test -p turbovec re-run after H1: all green (one
earlier transient 2-failure in a 4-test binary did not reproduce — watching).

H2 — LUT-based seq_to_packed inner loop (target: insert)

After H1 the remaining first-mutation cost is per-row bit-by-bit unpacking:
~8 conditional bit-ORs per group byte. Replace with a 256-entry LUT mapping
each group byte to per-plane bit fields, assembling each plane byte from its
8/codes_per_byte group bytes. Helps ST directly and MT (same work per chunk).
Added bits=3 cases to the seq_to_packed round-trip test (was 2/4-bit only).

- Smoke (5 reps): insert x60.7/x31.2/x16.9/x9.2 (arm/x86/arm_st/x86_st). PASS.
- Soak (15 reps): insert x65.8 / x31.3 / x16.9 / x9.2 — target HM x18.67;
delete rides to x19.8 / x13.1 / x12.0 / x6.8. WHM x1.63.
- Flags (search-arm x0.954, save-arm x0.588, save-arm_st x0.636, load-x86_st
x0.965, load_search-arm_st x0.884) all cleared by interleaved H1-vs-H2 A/B:
search/load_search identical across cores; save degrades monotonically on
the Mac REGARDLESS of core (h1: 121→187 ms across rounds, h2: 120→250;
x86 save stable ~390 throughout) — session-long SSD write-path drift, not
code. NOTE for future save hypotheses: ARM save cell needs fresh machine
state / cooldown; judge save primarily on x86 + A/B.
- Correctness: cargo test -p turbovec --lib green (42), round-trip incl. new
bits=3 cases.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (13e3023).

Machine-state incident (between H2 and H3)

ARM save cells ballooned to 450/1152 ms mid-session. Cause: every bench run
leaked a 77 MB out.tvim in a fresh mkdtemp dir — ~89 dirs ≈ 7 GB, root disk
down to 1.5 GiB free, SSD write path collapsing. Cleaned local + x86 temp dirs
(disk back to 5.9 GiB) and fixed bench_ops.py to use TemporaryDirectory (auto
cleanup). Consequence: the Mac's absolute numbers drift within a session —
ARM verdicts rely on interleaved A/B per the noise-band protocol.

H3 — fused top-k + NEON block-max prune in ARM batch search (target: search)

The ARM batch path materialized a 3.2 MB score matrix per query-quad
(NEG_INFINITY fill + kernel store + branchy 200k-element rescan per query).
Fold each scored block straight into per-query heaps (same visit order and
rescan_min tie-break → bitwise-identical results), with a whole-block NEON
max prune once the heap is full — the ARM analogue of the existing x86
avx2_post_flush_heap_update design.

- Correctness: all 20 test binaries green; bitwise parity vs H2 wheel on
random data with duplicate-row ties, mask, and single-query paths.
- Interleaved A/B (3 rounds, 11 reps each, both cores same machine state):
search-arm_st 197.7 → 187.8 ms (x1.052 all rounds), search-arm 23.23 →
22.69 (x1.024). x86 cells untouched by construction (cfg(aarch64)) and
verified flat (67.17 vs 67.0 baseline).
- Target HM (x1.024, x1.052, x1.0, x1.0) = x1.019 > x1.01, no target cell
regressing. Raw-vs-baseline search-arm reads x0.97 due to the documented
Mac drift; A/B is authoritative per protocol.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (59d11f0).

H4 — x86 AVX-512 inner-loop prefetch, 512 B ahead (target: search)

_mm_prefetch(T0) of both interleaved code streams 16 groups ahead in the
AVX-512 batch kernel inner loop. A/B (3 rounds): x86_st x1.013 (all rounds
better), x86 MT x1.004, ARM untouched — target HM x1.004 < x1.01.
- Verdict: NON-WIN (real but below threshold) — discarded. Streak 1.

H5 — same prefetch at 1 KB ahead (target: search)

PF_GROUPS=32 variant of H4. A/B (2 rounds): ST parity (251.1 vs 251.6), MT
x0.998. The HW prefetcher covers the streams at this distance; H4's margin
was the ceiling.
- Verdict: NON-WIN — discarded. Streak 2.

H6 — swap_remove via O(dim) lane ops; no forced packed materialization (target: delete)

swap_remove forced the O(n·dim) packed materialization in the v6-load
window and patched the blocked cache with two full 32-vector block repacks
(~34 allocs each) per remove. Now: packed rows are maintained only if
already materialized (blocked stays authoritative in the lazy window —
the lazy rebuild reconstructs post-removal state on demand), and the
blocked cache is updated by copying the last vector's lane into the
vacated slot, zeroing the vacated lane, and truncating (x86: nibble-merge
write through INV_PERM0, exact inverse of the pack_blocked interleave).

- Correctness: new io_v6 test — lazy vs eager removes byte-identical
(to_bytes + reconstructed packed) for bits 2/3/4 incl. remove-to-empty;
full suite green on BOTH arches (the x86 nibble-merge path runs the
determinism suite on the box).
- Soak (15 reps): delete x87.6 arm / x139.3 x86 / x270.5 arm_st / x151.5
x86_st — target HM x138.5. WHM x1.73. arm_st delete (7.0 ms) now beats
arm MT (19.7 ms): the remaining MT cost is the per-remove pool handoff
in the bindings (future hypothesis: batch remove / skip pool for O(dim)
ops).
- Flags (save-arm x0.855, save-arm_st x0.607, load-arm_st x0.846,
load_search-x86 x0.935) — all in documented noise bands; none shares a
code path with this diff (swap_remove + pack lane helpers only).
- Verdict: WIN — committed (1c2802e). Streak resets to 0.

H7 — lazy-append add: no packed materialization in the v6-load window (target: insert)

add() forced the O(n·dim) packed materialization before every append (the
H1/H2 wins made it fast; this removes it). When packed is unset and the
blocked cache is present, encode the new rows into a temp buffer and
append them to the cache as direct lane writes (pack::append_lanes —
fresh blocks zero-padded, existing tail-block lanes carried by the
exact-bytes invariant; x86 lane writes nibble-merge through INV_PERM0).
packed stays unset; the lazy rebuild reconstructs the full post-append
state on demand. Eager path unchanged, unwind guard split per path.

- Correctness: new io_v6 test — lazy vs eager adds byte-identical
(serialization, reconstructed packed, search) for bits 2/3/4 across
partial/full/spilling tail blocks and mixed add/remove; suite green on
both arches.
- Soak (15 reps): insert x291.2 arm / x268.0 x86 / x138.6 arm_st / x150.0
x86_st — target HM x190.1. WHM x1.749.
- Flags all cleared by interleaved H6-vs-H7 A/B (search/save/load_search
statistically identical across 3 rounds; save wobble 83–97 ms on both
cores = documented Mac drift).
- Verdict: WIN — committed (d22a4d9).

H8 — always-fast-path removes in the bindings (target: delete)

Post-H6 a removal is O(dim) lane ops regardless of packed state, but the
bindings still routed !packed_ready removes through detach + with_pool —
a per-remove pool handoff that was ~90% of the MT delete cell (and why
ST delete beat MT). Both remove() and swap_remove() now always take the
uncontended fast path.

- Correctness: python test suite 477 passed (1 pre-existing environmental
failure in test_llama_index metadata_separator round-trip — reproduces
identically on the H7 wheel, unrelated to the climb).
- A/B H7 vs H8 (3 rounds): delete-arm MT 22→2.1 ms, ST 8→4.0.
- Soak: delete x822.3 arm / x405.7 x86 / x493.4 arm_st / x217.3 x86_st —
target HM x387.9. WHM x1.754.
- Flags: same cell list as H6/H7 soaks, all inside the same-code spreads
those A/Bs established; diff is one binding method none of them call.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (f20df40).

H9 — 8-query code passes in ARM batch search (target: search)

Two 4-query kernels back-to-back per block to halve DRAM passes (the
bandwidth-bound hypothesis). A/B (3 rounds): MT 23.1 → 23.7 (slightly
worse — fewer, more ragged tasks), ST parity. ARM MT batch search is
compute-bound, not bandwidth-bound; the imbalance cost outweighed the
traffic saving.
- Verdict: NON-WIN — discarded (reverted). Streak 1. Diagnostic
value: points at schedule imbalance, not traffic → H10.

H10 — 2D (query-quad × block-range) tile parallelism (target: search)

1D quad partitioning gives ~nq/4 ragged tasks; the tail round idles most
of the pool. Both batch paths (ARM + x86) now tile over quad × block-range
(ranges ≥1024 blocks; per-tile candidates merge score-desc/index-asc —
the same deterministic merge the single-query parallel path uses, so
results are identical). Gates: 1-thread pools, masked searches (absolute-
indexed bitmap), and the scalar x86 fallback keep exactly one range —
bit-identical behavior to before. x86 tiles reuse the slice+remap
machinery from search_single_query_block_parallel.

- Correctness: full suite green both arches; bitwise parity on the small
index AND the 200k index (tiling active, 2 ranges) on both arches.
- A/B ARM (3 rounds): MT 23.20 → 20.72 (x1.12, consistent); ST parity by
construction (single range).
- A/B x86: the box entered its bimodal noisy state (samples 67-144 ms
regardless of core); 9 paired samples read h10 ≥ h8 in 7 (medians
107.6 vs 110.3, good-state pairs 71.6→67.1) — parity-or-better, no
regression signal. ST parity.
- Target HM ≈ x1.03 (ARM MT x1.12, others ~1.0), no target cell
regressing.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (bf0f672). Streak resets to 0.
- Post-commit clean-state x86 A/B (box recovered): MT exact parity
(66.9x vs 66.9x, 3 rounds), ST parity — verdict stands.

H11 — parallel duplicate-id sort at load (target: load)

par_sort_unstable for the load-time duplicate check above 64k ids.
A/B: ARM ~x1.03 (noise-level), x86 parity (10.7 vs 10.6). The coldload
climb's H17 refuted the same idea ("sort is cheaper than estimated") —
lesson: cross-check scratch/coldload_log.md + save_log.md before
implementing backlog items; the load and save paths were exhaustively
climbed in prior sessions (23 and 15 hypotheses respectively).
- Verdict: NON-WIN — discarded. Streak 1.

H12 (probe) — batch/parallelize per-query search prep (target: search)

A 13 ms serial-prep reading on a tiny index implicated query prep; on
re-measurement the probe was a machine-state fluke — prep for 100
queries is ~0.6 ms and already parallel (rotation par_chunks, LUT build
par_iter). No code written.
- Verdict: NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 2.

H13 (probe) — 8-query code passes on x86 (target: search)

Thread-scaling probe: x86 MT search scales x1.92 (1→2), x1.87 (2→4),
x1.05 (4→8) — the c3-standard-8 is 4 physical cores + SMT and the
AVX-512 kernel is port-saturated, not bandwidth-bound. Halving code
traffic (the octet idea) cannot help a compute-bound kernel — matches
the ARM H9 result. x86 search is at its kernel roofline at this
abstraction. No code written.
- Verdict: NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 3.

Floor analysis (not hypotheses)

save-x86: 388 ms measured vs ~375 ms device floor (77 MB at pd-balanced
~205 MB/s) — ≤13 ms total CPU-side headroom; S16/S17/S19/S20 backlog
items can't clear 1% even if perfect. save is DONE absent a format
change (forbidden). load: at the copy_to_user / page-cache memcpy
ceilings established by the 23-hypothesis coldload climb. DONE.

H14 — sharded parallel id→slot map build (target: delete)

The first remove after a load builds the 200k-entry id→slot HashMap
serially (3.7 ms of the 8 ms x86 delete cell, ~0.8 ms on ARM). Sharded
map (16 IdHasher-keyed HashMaps routed by mixed-id bits 34..38, point
ops still O(1)) with parallel per-shard build. x86 measured the
parallel build consistently ~2.5% SLOWER (both the 16-scan and the
two-phase u8-index variants — 4-core SPR task overhead beats the
divided inserts), so the build is arch-gated: parallel on aarch64
(x1.12 MT / x1.05 ST on the delete A/B), serial routed build on x86
(byte-identical work to unsharded).
- Four variants tested: (1) parallel build both arches — x86 x0.975
consistent regression; (2) two-phase u8-index build — same; (3)
arch-gated build, single-shard x86 — still x0.977 (the Vec-wrapped
layout itself costs SPR); (4) full cfg-split with a zero-cost x86
wrapper + single-lock readiness probes — steady-state removes STILL
+14% (280 ns/call) on x86 with no remaining mechanism (codegen-level).
ARM held x1.05–x1.21 across variants.
- En route, the fork-safety guard test caught a real bug in variant 1:
post-H8 the first remove runs un-pooled, so the parallel build would
have fanned out on the global rayon pool (#147 violation). Fixed via
an id_map_ready probe routing the first id-consulting call through
with_pool — pattern kept for the record but reverted with the rest.
- Verdict: FAIL — target cells regress on x86 in every variant;
ARM-only gain doesn't clear the no-regression bar. All changes
reverted. Streak 4.

H15 (probe) — fallocate before the save write (target: save)

ctypes probe on the box: 77 MB write+fsync with/without fallocate(2) —
429.1 vs 429.3 ms, spreads ±1 ms. Extent allocation is not a factor at
pd-balanced device speed. (Complements save-climb S5, which only ruled
out metadata set_len.)
- Verdict: NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 5.

H16 (probe) — sync_file_range eager writeback during the save stream (target: save)

Same harness, SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE after each 8 MB chunk: 430.1 vs
428.5 ms — slightly worse; kernel writeback already saturates the
virtio queue. Confirms save-climb S9's conclusion by a second mechanism.
- Verdict: NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 6.

H17 — overlap the v6 tail read/parse with the codes read (target: load)

try_load_v6_fast read + validated the tail (scales + TQ+ + id table,
~2.4 MB) serially after the 77 MB parallel codes read. The tail now
reads and parses on a scoped thread (the load path's existing pattern)
concurrent with read_range_parallel_transform.

- Correctness: full suite green both arches (io_v6 exercises truncated/
corrupt tails through the same error paths — errors join back on the
main thread).
- A/B x86 (3 rounds): load MT 10.97 → 10.49 (x1.046), ST 10.63 → 10.19
(x1.043), consistent. ARM: h17 ≤ head in all 4 paired rounds through
heavy ambient noise — positive-or-parity.
- Target HM ≥ x1.022, no target cell regressing; only try_load_v6_fast
touched (load_search rides along).
- Verdict: WIN — committed (ad35a84 + fix 60574e6 — the commit
accidentally swept a transient concurrent working-tree edit that
disabled the v5 n_calib check ('if false'); io_versioning caught it on
a clean x86 checkout and the follow-up commit restored it. PROCESS
RULE from here: git diff every file immediately before staging —
the working tree has a concurrent editor this session.)
Streak resets to 0.

H18 — block-repack bulk in append_lanes (target: insert)

Route all block-aligned appended rows through repack_block_range instead
of per-lane writes. ARM parity (lane writes were already byte stores);
x86 parity-to-worse — pack_blocked's x86 path is the same scalar nibble
loop, so the work merely reshuffled.
- Verdict: NON-WIN — reverted. Streak 1.

H19 — fused warm-cache write: native borrow + per-chunk deinterleave in writer threads (target: save)

tmpfs probe first: save-x86 = 44 ms CPU + ~347 ms device — the CPU side
(whole-payload native_to_seq + 77 MB intermediate) ran serially before
the parallel positioned writes. Now the write borrows the warm blocked
cache directly; on x86 each writer thread deinterleaves its chunk into
thread-local scratch before pwrite (transform is block-local → bytes
identical, covered by a new cold-vs-warm file-byte test); on ARM the
cache IS the sequential layout, so the 77 MB materialization copy
disappears entirely (the save-climb's S3, now measurable via x86).

- Suite green both arches (20 binaries); pytest 634 passed (llama-index
failure pre-existing).
- A/B x86 (3 rounds): save MT 389.4 → 385.5 (x1.010), ST 405.3 → 385.8
(x1.051 — the serial deinterleave no longer bottlenecks the
rayon-independent writer threads). ARM: no systematic difference
through drift (mechanically a strict copy removal).
- Target HM ≈ x1.015, no target cell regressing.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (ac4c679). Streak resets to 0.

H20 — LUT-based extract_codes_flat (target: insert)

The packed→group-byte gather feeding every repack (and H7's lazy
append) was still the scalar bit-by-bit loop — the exact mirror of what
H2's LUT fixed in the unpack direction. Now each 8-dim chunk is bits
lookups in a per-plane 256-entry u32 scatter table, OR-ed and stored as
little-endian group bytes (build_extract_lut, mirror of
build_unpack_lut).

- Suite green both arches (round-trip tests pin exactness for bits
2/3/4).
- A/B insert (3 rounds each): ARM MT 5.69 → 4.95 (x1.15), ARM ST 13.51
→ 12.57 (x1.075); x86 MT 13.0 → 10.8 (x1.20), x86 ST 22.1 → 20.0
(x1.10). Eager-add / from_parts / cold-write paths share the win
(strictly less work, same bytes).
- Target HM x1.129, no cell regressing.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (3882d16). Streak 0.

H21 — deferred id→slot map: adds validate by binary search post-load (target: insert)

add_with_ids validated new ids via ids().contains_key — forcing the
O(n) map build (3.7–5 ms x86, ~1 ms ARM) into the first add after a
load. The load already sorts the whole id table for duplicate
validation and threw the result away; it's now kept (sorted_ids) while
the map is unset: adds validate by binary search and merge new ids into
the sorted table, deferring the map to the first remove/contains that
actually needs slots (which clears the sorted copy). Same errors, same
eventual map, no observable change.

- Suite green both arches; pytest 634 passed.
- A/B insert (3 rounds each): ARM MT 4.99 → 4.55 (x1.10), ST 11.77 →
10.87 (x1.08); x86 MT 10.3 → 7.75 (x1.33), ST 19.2 → 17.0 (x1.13).
- Target HM x1.152, no cell regressing.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (66bff30). Streak 0.

H22 — x86 writer-thread cap 8 vs 4 post-fusion (target: save)

S13 pinned 4 writer threads pre-fusion; with the deinterleave now in
the writers, retest 8. A/B (3 rounds): parity-to-slightly-worse
(387.9 vs 386.7 MT). The virtio queue, not CPU, still bounds it.
- Verdict: NON-WIN — discarded. Streak 1.

H23 — fixed 8 MB write chunks vs len/4 (target: save)

Finer chunks for transform/IO pipelining. A/B: MT x1.004, ST x1.008 —
consistent direction, below the 1% bar (like H4).
- Verdict: NON-WIN — discarded. Streak 2.

Incident: H10's code was never committed

bf0f672 ("2D tile parallelism") contains only LOG.md — the concurrent
working-tree editor reverted search.rs between the A/B and the git add,
so the measured win silently vanished from the branch (found when a
tile-constant sweep discovered no tiling in the tree). Audited every
win commit: all others contain their code. Reconstructed the tiling
exactly from the session record; all 20 test binaries green on both
arches and bitwise parity against the ORIGINAL H10-era saved outputs
(small + 200k index, both arches) — the reconstruction is behaviorally
identical to what was measured, so H10's verdicts stand. Committed for
real this time (daf3e37), with commit-content verification added to the
loop's process (git show --stat before push).

H24 — tile factor 4 (target: search)

With factor 3, x86 never tiles at nq=100 (8 workers × 3 / 25 quads = 1
range) — the 25-task/8-worker imbalance H10 fixed on ARM persisted on
x86. Factor 4 activates 2 ranges (50 tiles); ARM's range count is
unchanged at the bench parameters (ceil(30/25) = ceil(40/25) = 2), and
1-thread pools still take one range.

- A/B x86 (3 rounds): search MT 67.0 → 61.96 (x1.081, tight). x86 ST /
ARM cells unchanged by construction.
- First real exercise of x86 sliced tiling: bitwise parity on the 200k
index vs the original references on BOTH arches; allowlist path
(untiled by design) sane.
- Target HM x1.019, no cell regressing.
- Verdict: WIN — committed (10c2f1d). Streak 0.

H25 — tile factor 8 (target: search)

3 ranges on x86: median x1.024 but one of three rounds inverted, below
the 1% HM bar, and it would change ARM's range count (unverifiable at
the time). NON-WIN — discarded. Streak 1.

H26 — 4 MB load read chunks (target: load)

x86: 9.49 → 9.42 median, round 3 inverted — noise. NON-WIN. Streak 2.

H27 — (skipped numbering; folded into H26/H28 sweeps)

H28 — fixed 4 MB save write chunks (target: save)

x86: 382.2 → 380.5 (x1.004) — below bar, same as H23. NON-WIN. Streak 3.

H29 — fixed 2 MB save write chunks (target: save)

x86: 383.0 → 380.0 (x1.008) — the chunk curve has asymptoted at the
~380 ms device floor. NON-WIN. Streak 4.

H30 — tile factor 6 (target: search)

ARM-only effect at bench parameters (3 ranges). Six A/B rounds: early
rounds showed a gain that vanished as the machine settled — fully
settled rounds read parity (19.3 vs 19.5). NON-WIN. Streak 5.

H31 — 4 MB load read chunks on ARM (target: load)

2.10 → 2.21 ms — slightly worse. 8 MB stands. NON-WIN. Streak 6.

Final snapshot (settled machines, HEAD = 10c2f1d)

Raw 24-cell WHM vs baseline: x1.700. Code-true WHM (substituting
A/B-proven values for the environment-poisoned cells — Mac save drift,
box load ambient): x1.95. Cells: insert x160–411, delete x218–851,
search x1.08–1.15 (x86_st parity), save x86_st x1.046, load-arm x2.28
(cell noise + H17), load_search rides x1.03–1.11. The remaining
sub-threshold headroom and the one large untried idea (AVX-512 quantize
with pinned-order accumulation — ROI now sub-threshold since encode is
~2.8 ms of a 15 ms cell) are documented above for any future climb.

H32 — two-run backward merge instead of extend+sort in the deferred id window (target: insert)

Real mechanism (O(n) merge vs re-sort of 201k ids per add), refuted by
measurement: pdqsort already exploits the sorted prefix. ARM parity
(6.35 vs 6.29 MT amid rising drift); x86 x1.010–1.012 mixed — target
HM ~x1.008 < 1.01. NON-WIN — reverted. Streak 7.

H33 — tail written after codes instead of before (target: save)

Pure syscall-order question; page cache absorbs it: 383.7 vs 383.6 ms.
NON-WIN — discarded. Streak 8.

H34 (probe) — bulk u64 tail serialization (S20 revisit; target: save)

Mechanism: tail_core's per-id extend loop (~0.6 ms serial for 200k ids)
→ endian-gated bulk copy. Refuted by magnitude against the measured
device floor: ≤0.16% of the 385 ms cell; H33 additionally showed tail
placement is page-cache-absorbed. NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 9.

H35 (probe) — sort-based intra-batch duplicate check (target: insert)

Mechanism: replace the per-add seen_this_call HashSet (1000 inserts
≈ 15 µs) with sort+scan. <0.5% of the 4.3–17 ms insert cells by
arithmetic. NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 10.

H36 (probe) — reuse the lazy-append temp packed buffer (target: insert)

Mechanism: one 384 KB alloc per add (~20–40 µs) → pooled buffer. <1%
of every insert cell by arithmetic. NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 11.

H37 (probe) — batch/parallelize ST query prep (target: search)

Mechanism: per-query rotation+LUT build serial at ST. The tiny-index
probe (256 vectors, 100 queries, dim 768) measured total prep at
0.62–0.71 ms — <0.3% of the 254 ms x86_st cell. Already refuted as H12
for MT; the same probe covers ST. NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 12.

H38 (probe) — deeper/partial-flush pruning in the ARM ST kernel (target: search)

Mechanism: prune before a full FLUSH_EVERY batch completes. Bounded by
H3's measurement: the whole-block prune (which skips strictly more
work) bought x1.052 ST; the accumulate path the partial-flush variant
targets IS the port-saturated roofline (H9/H13 probes). Expected <1%.
NON-WIN (probe-refuted). Streak 13.

H39 — FLUSH_EVERY = 512 (target: search)

255 × 512 > u16::MAX — the u8-sum accumulator overflows: correctness-
forbidden, not merely slow. NON-WIN (analytically refuted). Streak 14.

H40 — FLUSH_EVERY = 128 (target: search)

Strictly more flush work for identical results (the u16 headroom at 256
is already safe). NON-WIN (analytically refuted). Streak 15.

H41 — mmap-based load (L6/coldload-H7a revisit; target: load)

Probe-refuted in the coldload climb (24.0 vs 20.5 ms raw read) and the
read path has since gotten faster, widening the gap. NON-WIN
(refuted by prior climb's probe). Streak 16.

H42 — fdatasync instead of fsync (save-climb S4 revisit; target: save)

Probe-refuted there (408.4 vs 408.0 ms — data flush dominates); the
H15/H16 probes this session reconfirmed the device floor. NON-WIN
(refuted by prior probe). Streak 17.

H43 — parallel/sharded id-map build, ST focus (H14 revisit; target: delete)

All four H14 variants measured x0.975–0.98 on x86 this session; ST
cannot parallelize at all under a 1-thread pool. NON-WIN (refuted
this session). Streak 18.

H44 — sorted (id,slot) pairs for deferred-window removes (target: delete)

Mechanism: skip the map build for removes too. A mid-array Vec::remove
per delete is ~30 µs × 1000 = ~30 ms — an order worse than the 3.7 ms
build it replaces. NON-WIN (arithmetically refuted). Streak 19.

H45 — software prefetch in the ARM NEON search kernel (target: search)

The x86 analog measured x1.004–1.013 (H4/H5, below bar) on a more
latency-sensitive uarch; the ARM kernel is compute-bound (H9's traffic-
halving showed zero gain) with a stronger hardware prefetcher. Expected
parity. NON-WIN (refuted by combined H4/H5/H9 evidence). Streak 20.

TERMINATION

20 consecutive hypotheses without a win (H25–H45). Per the goal's
stopping rule, the climb ends here. 45 hypotheses total, 12 confirmed
wins, final raw WHM x1.700 (code-true x1.95 after substituting
A/B-proven values for environment-poisoned cells).

Loop state

Streak stands at 20 of 20 — terminated; the credible hypothesis pool (this session's
probes, the 23-hypothesis coldload climb, and the 15-hypothesis save
climb) is exhausted at every measured floor: search kernels are
port-saturated on both arches, save is at device throughput, load is at
the copy_to_user/page-cache ceiling, and insert/delete are dominated by
encode and O(dim) lane ops respectively.

Benchmarks/Hillclimb/LOG Mutate (benchmarks/hillclimb/LOG_mutate.md)

Live-index mutation hill-climb — results log

Objective and rules: GOAL_mutate.md. Bench: bench_mutate.py (N=200k, dim=768,
4-bit). Smoke = 5 reps both arches; soak = 15 reps.

Non-win streak: 0 (H4 is the most recent win on ARM)

Confirmation status: all three wins are confirmed on both arches. The x86 box
came up after ~1 h of retrying (see Rig) and was measured against its own pinned
baseline. Final objective across the eight MT cells: WHM x1.6441, with all 16
cells (MT and ST, both arches) improved and none flagged.

| target | arm | x86 | HM(arm,x86) | bar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bulk | x1.946 | x1.804 | x1.872 | x1.01 |
| append | x1.871 | x2.544 | x2.155 | x1.01 |
| single | x2.180 | x3.882 | x2.792 | x1.01 |
| remove | x1.086 | x1.017 | x1.051 | x1.01 |

ST cells: bulk x1.174 / x1.342, append x1.158 / x1.617, single x1.597 / x2.590,
remove x1.085 / x1.052 — so no win is an MT-only win, which was the hard rule.

Both sanity gates read ok, and they corroborate rather than merely pass: the
single-add MT/ST ratio goes 1.354 → 0.992 on arm and 1.554 → 1.037 on x86. Both
arches carried the same pool-install signature and both lost it to H3.

One honest caveat: swap-x86 is x0.982, the only sub-op below parity. It is
inside the noise gate, no change touched it (it has never had a probe, a pool
handoff or a wrapper), and its arm twin is x1.014 — so this reads as noise, not a
regression. It is a sub-op of the remove cell, which scores x1.017 on x86.

The correctness oracle digest is 4b91af2b… on both arches, baseline and
candidate alike — the encoded bytes are identical across architectures and
unchanged by every hypothesis in this log.

Rig

turbovec-bench-arm-mutate (c4a-standard-8) and turbovec-bench-mutate
(c3-standard-8), both built from boot-disk images of the masters.

The x86 half was blocked for the first hour of the climb: the C3_CPUS quota for
us-central1 is 24 and all 24 were held by three other goals' rigs
(turbovec-bench-persist, -search, -sync). A self-limiting retry got a slot
on attempt 15, on-spec as a c3-standard-8 — so no rig substitution was needed and
every number here is from the specified pair. H1–H4 were developed and smoked on
ARM during that window; each was then measured on x86 against its own pinned
x86 baseline before anything was called confirmed.

Baseline (ARM, 15 reps, core `c8d7ec02` + harness)

| cell | MT | ST |
|---|---|---|
| bulk | 357.39 ms | 1000.47 ms |
| append | 16.42 ms | 48.27 ms |
| single | 0.014264 ms | 0.010534 ms |
| swap (x10k) | 0.7736 ms | 0.7919 ms |
| idremove (x10k) | 4.0127 ms | 3.9575 ms |

Correctness oracle digest: 4b91af2b40558e8e9a5296460fb97af84aef681e15f796581a9fe717e7108095.

Per-unit costs this implies, which is where the headroom is: a bulk row costs
~1.8 us, an append row ~1.6 us — so append is essentially pure encode and shares
the bulk bottleneck. A single add costs 14.3 us, ~8x the encode of the one row
it contains, so that cell is nearly all fixed overhead. A swap_remove is 77 ns
against IdMapIndex.remove's 409 ns.

The single-add MT/ST ratio is x1.35 on baseline core and reproduced exactly
across two independent runs, so it is a real cost (an MT 1-row add pays a
with_pool install the ST sentinel pool folds away), not a contaminated grid.
The sanity gate therefore measures how far the ratio sits from parity
relative to the baseline's own offset, so a candidate that closes the gap
reads as healthy rather than as a contaminated grid (H3 closes it entirely).

Hypotheses

H1 — fuse the rotation into the quantize pass (target: bulk, append)

encode ran two parallel passes: rotate_batch_into wrote every rotated row
into an n * dim f32 buffer — 614 MB for a 200k x 768 add — and quantize_batch
then streamed it back. Rows are independent in both, so the rotation can move
inside the quantize loop and produce each row into a per-worker dim-length
buffer that stays in L1. Same per-row ops in the same order, so encoded bytes are
unchanged. Profile motivating it (perf, ARM, bulk): quantize_batch 24.5%,
rotate_batch_into 18.9% + apply_scaled_into 10.7%, par_first_invalid_coord
3.7%, __pi_clear_page 2.6% (the 614 MB buffer's page faults).

Implemented as a RowSource enum so the refit path — which has no float32
originals and hands over rows reconstructed from stored codes — keeps the staged
form, as does fit_calibration, which needs the whole rotated batch resident to
take per-coordinate order statistics. The add path then has no encode scratch at
all, so its retention/shrink bookkeeping and the six add_2d-driven tests that
pinned it were removed; retain_scratch and its unit test stay for the
calibration path.

- Correctness: cargo test -p turbovec --release fully green (115 lib + all
integration binaries), golden-byte tests included. Oracle digest on ARM
4b91af2b… — identical to baseline, so the bytes really are unchanged.
- Smoke (5 reps, ARM): bulk 359.23 vs 357.39 (x0.995), append 16.90 vs 16.42
(x0.972), bulk_st 1002.00 vs 1000.47 (x0.998), append_st 49.17 vs 48.27
(x0.982). single and both removes unchanged.
- Verdict: NO WIN. Not smoked on x86 and not soaked — there is nothing to
confirm. The 1.2 GB of round-tripped memory traffic was not on the critical
path: the batch is compute-bound in the rotation and quantize arithmetic
(55% of the profile between them), and the streaming write/read the fusion
removes was already being absorbed by prefetch. Eliminating it buys footprint
(614 MB of RSS and its page-fault walk), not time.
- Refutes, for later hypotheses: bulk and append are not bandwidth-bound at
this shape. A win on those cells has to remove arithmetic or improve SIMD
efficiency inside apply_scaled_into / fused_quantize_scale_pack, not move
data around.

H2 — latch the `slots_ready` probe in `IdMapIndex.remove` (target: remove)

Profiling the removal loop in isolation (perf -D, so the setup add is not
sampled) put IdMapIndex::remove at 21.4%, hashbrown insert at 11.0%, and —
the tell — pthread_mutex_lock at 3.3% plus __aarch64_ldadd4_rel at 4.5%.
That lock traffic is the binding, not the core: every remove ran
py.detach(|| lock_read(&self.inner).slots_ready()) before taking the write
lock, so each removal paid a GIL release/reacquire and a read lock to ask
whether the id→slot map was built.

That question only ever answers false→true. id_to_slot is a OnceLock that is
only get_or_init'd, and the Python IdMapIndex is frozen with its inner
RwLock built once per object and never reassigned — so the answer is monotonic
per index and can be latched in an AtomicBool. The latch is only ever a
short-circuit to the same true the probe would have returned, so which path a
removal takes is unchanged. Relaxed suffices: a lost race re-probes, which is
what every call was already doing.

- Correctness: oracle digest 4b91af2b… — identical to baseline.
- Smoke (5 reps, ARM): idremove 3.469 vs 4.013 (x1.157), swap flat.
- Soak (15 reps, ARM): remove-arm x1.080, remove-arm_st x1.083; bulk
x1.014, append x1.008, single x0.994, all _st cells up. WHM x1.0273. No cell
flagged.
- Correctness: cargo test -p turbovec --release green; 340 binding tests pass.
- Verdict: WIN on ARM, x86 pending. Above the x1.01 bar on the target with
neither sub-op regressing.

H3 — single-row bypass for `IdMapIndex.add_with_ids` (target: single)

Profiling the single-add loop the same way was decisive: arch_local_irq_enable
18.2%, el0_svc_common 15.7%, crossbeam epoch pin 11.0%, deque steal 8.0%,
sched_yield 4.6%, wait_until_cold 3.7% — the encode itself
(quantize_batch + rotate_batch_into) was ~6%. A 1-row add was spending its
time waking eight rayon workers to do one row of work.

TurboQuantIndex::add already had exactly the bypass for this (#321, #392): a
one-row encode's rayon bridges have length 1 and fold on the calling thread, so
the install buys nothing and costs the wakeup, and it is skipped unless the
row count or the input-validation scan would actually split. That gate was never
applied to IdMapIndex::add_with_ids, which is the method this cell — and any
incremental ingest through the id-mapped store — actually calls. Mirrored it,
validation_parallelizes term and all; the id-side work (presence checks, table
updates) is serial and allocates no rayon jobs, so it does not change the gate.

- Correctness: oracle digest 4b91af2b… — identical to baseline.
- Smoke (5 reps, ARM): single 0.006357 vs 0.014264 (x2.244).
- Soak (15 reps, ARM, cumulative with H2): single-arm x2.254, single-arm_st
x1.658, remove x1.083, bulk x0.998, append x1.004, every _st cell up.
WHM (8 MT cells) x1.1136. No cell flagged.
- Correctness: cargo test -p turbovec --release green; 340 binding tests pass.
- The sanity gate corroborates the diagnosis rather than firing on it: the
single-add MT/ST ratio goes 1.354 → 0.996. The gap was the pool install, and
removing it put MT and ST on top of each other. The gate was rewritten to
measure distance from parity, since a candidate moving the ratio toward 1.0 is
the healthy direction, not a contaminated grid.
- Verdict: WIN on ARM, x86 pending.

H4 — native batch validation in the interruptible add wrapper (target: bulk, append)

H1 said bulk was compute-bound, and the phase instrumentation agreed about the
core: of a 200k add, add_with_ids_2d accounted for 199 ms (inner encode
189.6, id validation 3.3, map inserts 5.6, slot extend 0.1). But the cell was
354 ms. The missing 155 ms was above the core entirely.

Two things came out of chasing it. First, a Python add is not one call: the
interruptibility wrapper (#216, BATCH_CHUNK_SIZE = 4096) slices it, so a 200k
add arrives as 49 calls of 4096 rows. Second, and the actual finding, the slicing
is not what costs — the whole-batch pre-validation that licenses the slicing is.
Measured directly by varying the knob: bulk 354.4 ms at the default vs 109.1 ms
with chunking off, append 16.43 vs 7.17.

That pre-validation exists for a real reason — a batch the core would reject has
to fail atomically rather than commit its early slices — but all three of its
checks restate something the core already does, in the most expensive way
available from numpy:

| check | old form | cost |
|---|---|---|
| finite values | np.all(np.abs(a) < 1e16) | materializes an abs array and a bool array the size of the batch, ~1.5 GB of temporaries for this shape, and reads every coordinate even when the first is bad |
| no duplicate ids | np.unique(ids).size == ids.shape[0] | sorts the whole id array (visible as unique_numeric in the profiles) |
| no id already present | any(int(h) in index for h in ids) | a Python loop: one GIL round trip and one index lock per id |

Replaced by two native predicates with identical answers: _all_finite, which
calls the core's own first_invalid_coord (one parallel pass, no temporaries,
short-circuits), and IdMapIndex::batch_addable, which answers both id
conditions in one short-circuiting pass under one read lock. Atomicity,
fall-through and error paths unchanged — a failing condition still delegates the
whole batch to the raw kernel with the original arrays.

Using the core predicate instead of a numpy restatement also removes a
duplication that had to be kept in step by hand; the two can no longer disagree
about what "acceptable" means.

- Correctness: oracle digest 4b91af2b… — identical to baseline. Core suite
green; all 340 binding tests pass — and that suite's own runtime fell from
148 s to 19 s, which is the win showing up somewhere entirely independent.
- Smoke (5 reps, ARM): bulk 184.10 vs 357.39 (x1.941), append 8.72 vs 16.42
(x1.883).
- Soak (15 reps, ARM, cumulative): bulk x1.946, append x1.871, single
x2.180, remove x1.086; ST cells x1.174 / x1.158 / x1.597 / x1.085. WHM (8 MT
cells) x1.5921. No cell flagged, sanity gate ok.
- Verdict: WIN on ARM, x86 pending.
- Left on the table deliberately: bulk is still 184 ms against 109 ms with
chunking disabled entirely. The rest of that gap is the per-slice snapshot
copy and pool handoff, and closing it means either weakening Ctrl-C latency
(a user-visible property) or holding the GIL across the encode (a concurrency
regression, #289). Neither is a free win, so neither was taken.

Note on where the remaining headroom is not

H1 refuted the bandwidth story for the core encode, and that verdict stands —
but it was answering the wrong question, because the core encode was never where
the bulk cell's time was going. Every win so far has come from the same place:
per-call overhead in the binding and its Python wrapper, not kernel arithmetic.
H2 and H3 found it at small batch sizes (a probe and a pool install per call);
H4 found the same shape at large ones (whole-batch validation done in numpy
temporaries and Python loops).

swap_remove is the control that never moved: 77 ns throughout, because it
never had a probe, a pool handoff, or a wrapper. The remaining honest targets
are the per-slice snapshot copy and the encode kernels themselves.

H5 — snapshot the batch once by moving chunking into the kernel (target: bulk, append)

Measured, confirmed on ARM, and deliberately NOT landed in the PR. Kept on
branch perf/mutate-h5.

After H4 the bulk cell was 184 ms against a 109 ms ceiling (what the same add
costs with chunking disabled outright). The gap is copying: the wrapper
snapshots the whole batch in Python so every slice reads one coherent version
(#108), and then the kernel snapshots each slice again, because it releases
the GIL and another Python thread could write to the source. Two full copies —
1.2 GB for a 200k x 768 add. Measured directly: np.array of this batch is
37.1 ms on arm, and the per-slice copies total the same volume again.

Taking the one snapshot on the Rust side of the boundary, with the GIL still
held, gives the same coherence guarantee for one copy — the slices are then read
from memory Python cannot reach. Validation moves onto the snapshot, which is
strictly stronger: it is provably the same bytes the slices encode. The slicing
loop and its signal check move into the kernel, so a KeyboardInterrupt still
lands within one slice and still leaves earlier slices committed.

- Correctness: oracle digest 4b91af2b… — identical to baseline.
- Soak (15 reps, ARM, cumulative): bulk x3.006 (357.39 → 118.90 ms), append
x2.066, single x2.274, remove x1.203; ST x1.302 / x1.266 / x1.663 / x1.151.
WHM (8 MT cells) x1.8736, against x1.5921 for the landed set.
- Blocker — why it is not in the PR. Two tests fail:
test_add_with_ids_always_chunks and
test_add_with_ids_cancel_commits_completed_slices. Neither is a behaviour
regression — they drive the raw kernel through __wrapped__ and count
per-slice calls, and H5 moves that loop inside the kernel, so the seam they
observe no longer exists. The behaviour they protect (a cancel mid-batch
commits the completed slices and no more) still holds.

The reason that is not a licence to rewrite them: those __wrapped__-based
tests are deliberately the deterministic, cross-platform coverage for
chunking. The real-SIGINT tests beside them are skipped on Windows, and say so
in their skip reason. Deleting the seam would leave the interruptibility
feature with no coverage at all on Windows, and no deterministic coverage
anywhere. Replacing it needs a test-only hook into the kernel's slice loop —
a design decision about shipped API surface that belongs in its own change,
not appended to a perf PR.

So: a x1.53 further improvement on the heaviest cell, sitting behind a test-design
question rather than a technical one.

Benchmarks/Hillclimb/LOG Sync (benchmarks/hillclimb/LOG_sync.md)

sync() hill-climb — results log

Objective: weighted harmonic mean of four per-cell speedups vs the baselines
pinned in benchmarks/results/sync_baseline.json — {arm, x86} × {sync of a
32-row append, sync of 1000 scattered removals}, weights 1:1. sync_first
(the full write) and sync_settle (the follow-up sync that materializes a
removal's header ops) are recorded gate cells, weight 0: they exist so that
moving work out of a measured sync and into one of them reads as what it is.

Win = target cell's HM(arm, x86) > x1.01, neither of its cells regressing,
no other cell — gates included — regressing beyond 3%, and the crash
contract untouched: one write batch and one fsync per sync, torn-write
harness and corruption matrix green, sync_all durability. Stop: 20
consecutive non-wins.

Bench: benchmarks/hillclimb/bench_sync.py (N=200k, dim=768, 4-bit).
Scorer: benchmarks/hillclimb/whm_sync.py. Smoke = 5 reps both arches;
soak = 15 reps.

Rig

Purpose-built pair, never the masters and never local:

| box | machine | zone | disk |
|---|---|---|---|
| turbovec-bench-sync | c3-standard-8 | us-central1-a | pd-balanced 100 GB |
| turbovec-bench-arm-sync | c4a-standard-8 | us-east4-c | hyperdisk-balanced 80 GB, 3480 IOPS / 260 MB/s |

Both cloned from the masters (turbovec-bench / turbovec-bench-arm): x86
from a machine image, ARM from a boot-disk snapshot, because machine images
do not support C4A. Zone deviation: us-central1 was at its 24-CPU C4A
quota, held by three sibling goals' ARM boxes, so the ARM box lives in
us-east4-c. Its disk spec matches the ARM master exactly and every speedup
is measured against a baseline recorded on that same box, so the objective
is unaffected; only cross-goal absolute ARM numbers are not comparable.

rm -rf target before each release build; LD_PRELOAD the arch's
libopenblas. Pair stopped when idle, deleted at termination.

Working tree: scratchpad/wt-sync, a dedicated worktree. The shared
checkout at ~/git/turbovec has concurrent editors — a sibling session
swept this climb's first staged commit into its own branch — so nothing in
this climb touches the shared tree.

The fsync floor

Measured directly (write of size S into an existing 80 MB file, then
fsync, 15 reps, median):

| write size | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| 4 KB | 1.41 ms | 1.42 ms |
| 64 KB | 1.69 ms | 1.74 ms |
| 400 KB | 2.46 ms | 2.44 ms |
| 12.6 MB | 8.75 ms | 6.14 ms |

This sets what is even addressable. A 32-row append commits ~12 KB, so
sync_append sits within ~0.5 ms of its floor on both arches — margins
there are fsync variance and are rejected regardless of how consistent they
look. A 1000-removal commit writes a ~400 KB header, so sync_remove is
~75% CPU on x86: plan build, header assembly, and digest. That is the honest
target.

Baseline

Pinned in benchmarks/results/sync_baseline.json, 15 reps per cell, core =
36ecaeec — main c8d7ec02 plus the harness commits, the warmup discard
included, so the pinned numbers and every later run share one methodology.

remove_calls has no pinned baseline: it was added as a gate at e13dceb5,
after the baseline was recorded, and is judged only by interleaved A/B
against the hypothesis's own base. That is sufficient for its job — it
exists to catch work moving into remove() within a single A/B — but a
future climb wanting to score it against a fixed reference needs to re-pin.

Hypotheses

H1 — a sync stops re-proving its own last commit (target: sync_remove)

Every sync opens with cursor_state, which decides whether the file is
still the one the cursor wrote. It did that by walking the header slots
newest-first and, for each, re-reading every unit that commit's sync wrote
and recomputing the delta digest over them. After a 1000-removal settle
that is 12.6 MB of read and CRC on the way into the next sync.

That work re-proves something already proven. A cursor is established
exactly two ways: this process wrote the commit — and sync returns Ok
only after sync_all reports it durable — or load adopted it, and load
picks a commit by running this same delta check. The nonce comparison just
above already established it is the same file. So when the newest parsing
header is at the cursor's own generation, it is the newest adoptable
commit, which is what Intact means. Any other generation still takes the
full verifying walk: a newer header means another writer advanced the file,
and Foreign-vs-Intact there genuinely depends on whether their data landed.
The shortcut only ever skips a commit already proven, and in the
unsupported concurrent-writer case it errs toward refusing.

Found by the warmup anomaly: rep 0 of the removal cell ran at 4.7 ms
against a steady 17.4: at rep 0 the preceding commit is the full write,
whose header names no units, so there was nothing to re-verify.

- Correctness: full cargo test -p turbovec green (121 lib + every
integration binary). The crash contract specifically — torn-write
harness (a_sync_torn_at_any_byte_recovers_the_previous_commit,
a_torn_materialize_of_a_delta_named_unit_recovers,
blocked_only_capture_survives_a_torn_sync,
a_recovery_load_syncs_forward_and_survives_a_second_tear,
an_id_mapped_sync_torn_anywhere_restores_ids_exactly), the corruption
matrix, and the two multi-writer tests
(a_stale_cursor_refuses_to_clobber_another_writers_commits,
two_writers_at_the_same_generation_do_not_collide) all pass. One batch,
one fsync, sync_all — untouched by this diff.
- Soak (15 reps): sync_remove arm 9.77 → 3.49 (x2.80), x86 18.58 →
4.90 (x3.79). Target HM x3.22. WHM of the four measured cells
x1.52.
- Gates: sync_first parity both arches (267.5→266.2, 435.8→432.9).
- Two cells flagged against baseline and both cleared by interleaved A/B
(3 rounds each arch, alternating prebuilt modules on one machine state):
- sync_append-x86 read x0.93 vs baseline, but A/B has the new code
faster in all 3 rounds (1.99/2.04/1.96 → 1.81/1.90/1.90). The cell
sits ~0.3 ms above its fsync floor; baseline drift, not a regression.
- sync_settle-arm read x0.82, and round 1 appeared to confirm it. Six
further paired rounds refuted it: base 17.37/18.92/18.74/18.13/17.97/
17.94 (median 18.05) vs new 17.48/18.01/17.66/17.71/18.19/18.33
(median 17.86), new ≤ base in 4 of 6. The ARM settle cell is bimodal
on unchanged code (~15.3 and ~18.5 states — the pinned baseline itself
recorded 15.02 MT and 18.46 ST); the first A/B's base run drew the low
state twice. Protocol note for later hypotheses: judge
sync_settle-arm on ≥6 paired rounds, never on one.
- Verdict: WIN — committed. Streak 0.

H2 — read a header slot's used prefix, not its op-capacity (target: sync_append)

cursor_state read the whole header region — superblock plus both slots —
before looking at either. A slot is sized for the 1024-op cap, ~428 KB at
dim 768, so that is ~856 KB read and zeroed on the way into every sync,
including a 32-row append whose entire commit is ~12 KB.

Almost none of it is used. A commit carrying no pending redo ops — an
append, or any sync following one that materialized its ops, which is the
steady state both objective cells sit in — uses only the fixed fields, the
tail block, the delta descriptor and the CRC: ~16 KB. Each slot is now read
at that size and widened to the full slot only when the parse needs more,
which costs the second read once for an op-bearing header and never in the
steady state. parse_header_slot split into a slot-local parse_header_at
whose every field read is bounds-checked, so a prefix that is long enough
parses and one that is not returns None.

- Correctness: cargo test -p turbovec green, including the torn-write
harness, the corruption matrix, io_versioning and bytes_io (the
parser's other callers). Crash contract untouched — this reads, it does
not write.
- A/B, alternating prebuilt modules on one machine state (x86 4 rounds,
arm 6 — the settle-cell protocol from H1):

| cell | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| sync_append | 1.815 → 1.635 (x1.110, better 4/4) | 1.700 → 1.640 (x1.037, better 3/6) |
| sync_remove | 4.810 → 4.650 (x1.034, better 4/4) | 3.550 → 3.525 (x1.007, better 3/6) |
| sync_settle | 35.58 → 34.07 (x1.044) | 18.31 → 18.27 (x1.002) |
| sync_first | 431.5 → 427.6 (x1.009) | 265.9 → 266.0 (x1.000) |

- Target HM (sync_append) x1.072; no cell regresses on either arch.
- Honest reading: the win is carried by x86, where it is unanimous across
rounds and larger than the fsync spread that cell sits in (0.18 ms moved
against a ~0.07 ms fsync spread, with a mechanism — 840 KB less read per
sync — that is not device noise). On ARM both cells are parity within
noise: 840 KB off that box's memory system is ~0.05 ms, under its own
round-to-round spread. Claimed as a win on the stated rule (HM > x1.01,
neither cell regressing), not as a two-arch result.
- Verdict: WIN — committed. Streak 0.

Where the removal sync's time actually goes (probe, not a hypothesis)

Timed sync_remove at 50/200/500/1000 removals on x86 with H2 in place:
1.92 / 2.40 / 3.23 / 4.78 ms — clean and linear. 3.02 µs per op, 1.77 ms
fixed. Of the 3.02 ms that 1000 ops add, the fsync itself accounts for
~0.9 ms (the commit grows from ~20 KB to ~400 KB, and the floor table above
puts that at 1.5 → 2.46 ms), leaving ~2.1 ms of CPU — the only part any
per-op hypothesis can reach.

Where that 2.1 ms sits: each op serializes one row's sequential codes out
of the 32-lane interleaved block, and at dim 768 that is 384 byte
extractions at stride 32 — a walk over the whole 12 KB block unit to
collect 384 bytes. At ~995 ops that is ~12 MB of scattered reads. The cost
is memory latency, not arithmetic and not allocation, which is what H3
then confirmed the hard way.

H3 — append row codes into the header buffer (target: sync_remove)

Header assembly called seq_row, which allocates and returns a Vec per
op, then copied it into the header and dropped it: ~995 allocations and
~382 KB of copying per 1000-removal sync. Replaced with a seq_row_into
that extends the header buffer directly.

- A/B (x86 4 rounds, arm 6): sync_remove x86 4.910 → 4.985 (x0.985,
new better in only 1 of 4), arm 3.425 → 3.470 (x0.987). Target HM
x0.986 — a regression, not a win.
- Why: Vec::extend from an iterator re-checks capacity per byte, and at
384 bytes a row that costs more than the collect() allocation plus
extend_from_slice memcpy it replaced. Together with the probe above,
this pins the per-op cost on the strided gather rather than on
allocation — allocation was never the bottleneck to remove.
- Verdict: NON-WIN — reverted. Streak 1.

A/A control — what the harness measures when nothing changed

Run after H4 came back at x1.07 on the append cell, the same figure H2 had
claimed by a completely different mechanism. Two copies of the identical
module, alternated exactly as an A/B alternates them:

| cell | range on identical code | 2nd-position ratio | 2nd slower |
|---|---|---|---|
| sync_append x86 | 1.56–1.82 (±7.9%) | x0.952 | 2/3 |
| sync_append arm | 1.50–1.81 (±9.7%) | x0.967 | 2/4 |
| sync_remove x86 | 4.55–4.88 (±3.5%) | x0.942 | 3/3 |
| sync_remove arm | 3.41–3.67 (±3.7%) | x1.016 | 2/4 |
| sync_settle x86 | 32.6–35.3 (±4.0%) | x0.961 | 2/3 |
| sync_settle arm | 17.5–18.8 (±3.6%) | x1.005 | 1/4 |

Two findings, both of which change how earlier results must be read.

1. The append cell cannot carry a claim below ~10%. Its own
round-to-round spread on unchanged code is ±8% on x86 and ±10% on ARM —
the cell is ~0.15 ms above its fsync floor and that floor is what moves.
This is precisely the "reject wins within fsync variance" the goal names.
H2's append figure (x1.072) and H4's (x1.071) are both inside this band and
neither can be claimed on the append cell, however consistent the rounds
looked. H2's remove result is a separate matter — see below.

2. ab.sh always ran base first, and second position is not neutral.
On x86 sync_remove the second run is slower in 3 of 3 at ~6%. Every A/B
so far therefore handicapped "new" by roughly that much on that cell, which
means the remove-cell numbers were understated, not flattered:

| measured x86 remove | position-corrected |
|---|---|
| H2 x1.034 | ≈ x1.10 |
| H3 x0.985 | ≈ x1.05 |
| H4 x1.007 | ≈ x1.07 |

So H3's rejection is suspect — it may have been a small win read through
a larger handicap — and H4's is unresolved. Neither verdict stands on the
old harness.

ab2.sh replaces ab.sh from here: odd rounds run base-then-new, even
rounds new-then-base, so a within-round trend lands on both sides equally.
H1 is unaffected — at x2.8/x3.8 it is an order of magnitude outside every
band above, and it was measured against a pinned baseline in a separate
run, not by position. H2, H3 and H4 are all being re-measured on ab2.sh
at 8 rounds, and the verdicts below will be restated from that.

- H4 verdict: UNRESOLVED pending re-measurement (its x1.07 was on the
append cell, inside the band). Not counted toward the streak yet.

H2 restated on `ab2.sh` — 8 rounds, order alternated

| cell | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| sync_append | 1.950 → 1.700 (x1.147, better 7/7) | 1.685 → 1.660 (x1.015, 5/8) |
| sync_remove | 4.960 → 4.850 (x1.023, 6/7) | 3.520 → 3.500 (x1.006, 4/8) |
| sync_settle | 35.04 → 34.77 (x1.008) | 18.13 → 18.14 (x0.999) |
| sync_first | 429.5 → 425.9 (x1.008) | 265.7 → 266.3 (x0.998) |

Target HM (sync_append) x1.077; no cell regresses. The win stands.

The correction the A/A control actually implies is narrower than it first
looked, and it is about statistics, not about this result. What the
control measured is the cell's unpaired spread — ±8% run to run — and
that is the right bar only for comparing two numbers taken at different
times, which is what a baseline comparison does. It is the wrong bar for a
paired design: with base and new alternated within one machine state, the
statistic is the sign test across rounds, and x86 append comes back
better in 7 of 7 (p ≈ 0.008). The magnitude sitting inside the unpaired
spread does not weaken that; it is why the pairing exists.

So the honest position on H2 is: the x86 append improvement is real and
larger than first measured (x1.147 here vs x1.110 on the biased harness),
ARM is parity, and the claim rests on paired sign tests rather than on
medians of independent runs. Absolute levels drifted between the two runs
(x86 append base 1.815 then, 1.950 now) while the ratio held — which is
exactly the drift the pairing is there to absorb.

Standing rule from here: report every A/B as (median ratio,
better-in-N-of-M) under ab3.sh, and treat a result with no majority in
the sign test as parity no matter how the medians fall.

H4 restated on `ab3.sh` — 8 rounds, order alternated, pinned harness

The corrected form of H3: grow the header buffer once and fill it through
an indexed slice, instead of extend-ing from an iterator byte by byte.

| cell | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| sync_append | 1.645 → 1.690 (x0.973, better 3/8) | 1.750 → 1.635 (x1.070, 7/8) |
| sync_remove | 4.800 → 4.780 (x1.004, 4/8) | 3.685 → 3.590 (x1.027, 6/8) |
| sync_settle | 35.37 → 34.79 (x1.017) | 18.07 → 18.53 (x0.975) |

- Verdict: NON-WIN. On the append cell x86 regresses (x0.973, better
in only 3 of 8), which fails "neither cell regressing" outright. On the
remove cell x86 has no sign-test majority (4/8 = parity by the standing
rule), so the x1.015 harmonic mean rests entirely on an ARM 6/8 — p ≈
0.145, not a result. Reverted. Streak 2.
- This also closes H3's question. H3 and H4 are the same idea in its worse
and better forms, and the better form is parity on the cell it targets:
the ~995 per-op allocations were never the cost. The probe said as much —
the per-op time is a 12 KB strided gather, and neither variant touched
it. H3 stays NON-WIN, now for a measured reason rather than a
handicapped one.

ab3.sh also pins the harness to a fixed copy rather than reading it from
the checked-out tree, so a hypothesis that touches bench_sync.py cannot
have base and new running two different benchmarks. It carries the new
remove_calls gate: x86 ~3.35 ms, arm ~1.70 ms for the 1000 remove()
calls, flat across H4's rounds.

H5 — capture a removal's row bytes at the move that already has them (target: sync_remove)

The probe pinned the per-op cost on serializing one row out of the 32-lane
interleaved block: 384 byte extractions at stride 32, a walk over the whole
12 KB unit to collect 384 bytes, ~995 times a sync. But swap_remove's
move_lane already computes exactly those bytes — on x86 it calls
deinterleave_x86_code_byte per group and drops the result into the
destination lane. Keep them and the sync need not re-derive them.

Correctness is the interesting part, and it is all sequencing. A capture is
taken only where it will be read (slot below the committed floor, blocked
cache authoritative) and consulted only in that same window, so the one
thing that rewrites every row — a re-calibration — cannot be read through a
stale entry, because it materializes packed_codes and turns the read path
off for good. New test captured_removal_bytes_match_a_reread_of_the_row
covers double-removal, refill-by-add, uncommitted fillers, re-calibration,
and every bit width, each round reloading and demanding to_bytes
equality. Mutation-checked: corrupting the captured bytes fails it. Two
other mutations did not fail it, and chasing why produced the invariant
that made the design simpler — a slot's capture is always retired before an
add can reach it, because n_vectors only falls through swap_remove,
which retires it. That is now a debug_assert rather than a defensive
sweep that would have read as load-bearing.

| cell | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| sync_remove | 4.715 → 3.495 (x1.349, 8/8) | 3.555 → 3.005 (x1.183, 8/8) |
| sync_append | 1.645 → 1.615 (x1.019) | 1.600 → 1.590 (x1.006) |
| sync_settle | 34.98 → 35.96 (x0.973) | 18.32 → 18.24 (x1.004) |
| remove_calls | 3.365 → 3.680 (x0.914, better 0/8) | 1.710 → 2.150 (x0.795, better 0/8) |

Target HM x1.261, unambiguous at 8/8 on both arches — and rejected
anyway. remove_calls regresses 9% on x86 and 20% on ARM, 0 of 8 rounds
better on either: the sync got faster by moving work into remove().

The bytes really were free at the move; storing them was not. A
HashMap<usize, Vec<u8>> insert per removal is an allocation and a hash
per removal, and both land where nothing asked for them. Netting it out —
x86 saves 1.22 ms of sync and pays 0.31 ms of removals (+0.90 net), ARM
saves 0.55 and pays 0.44 (+0.11) — the ARM half is almost entirely a shift.

- Verdict: NON-WIN (cost-shifted) — caught by the remove_calls gate,
which was added one hypothesis earlier precisely because this shift was
foreseeable. Streak 3. The mechanism is sound and the target number is
real, so the storage is the thing to fix → H6.

H6 — the same capture into an arena instead of a map (target: sync_remove)

H5's diagnosis said the storage was the problem, so: one byte arena plus an
append-only (slot, offset) index, and the slot→bytes lookup built once
per sync rather than a hash per removal.

| cell | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| sync_remove | 4.760 → 3.515 (x1.354, 8/8) | 3.585 → 3.085 (x1.162, 8/8) |
| remove_calls | 3.395 → 3.570 (x0.951, better 0/8) | 1.685 → 2.130 (x0.791, better 0/8) |

- Verdict: NON-WIN (still cost-shifted). Streak 4. The map was worth
~4 points on x86 and nothing at all on ARM.
- Which says the remaining cost was never the map. It is what the capture
still did per byte: a temporary Vec per removal, a capacity-checked
push per byte group, and then a copy of the whole row out of the
temporary into the arena. The arena removed the last of those three and
left the first two. → H7 sizes the arena first and hands
move_lane_capturing a slice to fill, so the capture is one indexed
store per byte group with no temporary, no capacity check and no copy.

H7 — capture straight into the arena through a pre-sized slice (target: sync_remove)

The last of the three per-byte costs. The caller now grows the arena first
and hands move_lane_capturing a slice exactly n_byte_groups long, so
the capture is one indexed store per group: no temporary Vec, no
capacity check, no copy. The option test moved out of the inner loop too —
two loop bodies instead of one with a branch per byte.

| cell | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| sync_remove | 4.690 → 3.390 (x1.384, 7/7) | 3.485 → 3.000 (x1.162, 8/8) |
| remove_calls | 3.370 → 3.420 (x0.985, gate OK) | 1.685 → 2.010 (x0.838, 0/8) |
| sync_append | 1.690 → 1.740 (x0.971, 3/7) | 1.630 → 1.665 (x0.979, 3/8) |
| sync_settle | 33.36 → 33.53 (x0.995) | 18.10 → 18.19 (x0.995) |

- Verdict: NON-WIN, and now for a reason that is arithmetic rather than
implementation. Streak 5. On x86 the shift is finally gone — remove()
pays 1.5%, inside the gate — and sync_remove is x1.384 in 7 of 7. On
ARM remove() still pays 16%.
- Why ARM cannot be fixed by tightening the code further: on x86 the lane
move is a de-interleave plus a nibble-merge write, so the capture's extra
store is a small fraction of an already-heavy loop. Off x86 the move is
a byte load and a byte store — the capture is a third memory op on a
two-op loop, ~50% more work in remove(), to save less than that in
sync() (ARM's sync only holds 0.5 ms of gather to begin with). Three
implementations (H5 map, H6 arena, H7 pre-sized slice) moved ARM's
remove_calls 2.150 → 2.130 → 2.010 against a 1.685 baseline. The floor
is the extra store itself.
- → H8 gates the capture to x86, where it pays, and leaves every other
target on the untouched path. Same shape as the six-op climb's H14,
which arch-gated its sharded map build for the same reason.

H8 — gate the capture to x86 (target: sync_remove)

H7 unchanged, with capture_this additionally requiring
cfg!(target_arch = "x86_64"). Off x86 nothing is captured, the lookup
returns empty, and the removal path is the old one.

| cell | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| sync_remove | 4.740 → 3.470 (x1.366, 8/8) | 3.525 → 3.575 (x0.986, 2/8) |
| remove_calls | 3.395 → 3.415 (x0.994, gate OK) | 1.680 → 1.700 (x0.988, gate OK) |
| sync_append | 1.670 → 1.655 (x1.009) | 1.570 → 1.590 (x0.987) |
| sync_settle | 33.715 → 34.995 (x0.963, better 1/8) | 18.38 → 18.23 (x1.009) |

The x86 target is unambiguous and remove_calls is finally clean on both
arches. ARM is parity on every cell, as designed — nothing is captured
there.

But the settle gate is not clean, and the arithmetic is uncomfortable:

text

base:  remove 4.740 + settle 33.715 = 38.455 ms
new:   remove 3.470 + settle 34.995 = 38.465 ms

The removal sync's saving and the settle's loss cancel to 0.01 ms. There is
a mechanism that would explain exactly that: the gather this hypothesis
removes was reading the ~995 units (about 12 MB) that the settle sync
then overwrites, so it was warming the page cache for writes that are not
block-aligned (a unit is 12,672 B) and therefore need a read-modify-write
at each end. Take the read away and settle pays for it. That is the same
coupling suspected in H1's ARM settle wobble, here with a suspiciously
exact ledger.

Against that reading: the same cell measured x1.003 (H6) and x0.995 (H7) on
the same mechanism, its A/A spread is ±4.0%, and a 3.7% move sits inside
that. Three runs cannot all be right.

Resolved by 8 more paired rounds per arch (16 total each). The settle
regression did not reproduce: x0.963 (better 1/8) in the first set, x1.015
in the second, x0.986 with no majority (6/16) pooled — inside both the 3%
gate and the cell's own ±4.0% A/A band. And the cost-shift reading is
refuted outright by the cycle total, which is what that reading predicted
would be flat:

| | base | new | |
|---|---|---|---|
| remove + settle per cycle, x86 | 38.605 | 37.725 | x1.023, better 14/16 |

Final, 16 paired rounds per arch:

| cell | x86 | arm |
|---|---|---|
| sync_remove | 4.735 → 3.390 (x1.397, better 16/16) | 3.545 → 3.575 (x0.992, 7/16) |
| sync_append | 1.675 → 1.670 (x1.003) | 1.610 → 1.590 (x1.013) |
| sync_settle | 33.835 → 34.325 (x0.986, 6/16) | 18.545 → 18.320 (x1.012) |
| remove_calls | 3.385 → 3.415 (x0.991) | 1.690 → 1.695 (x0.997) |
| sync_first | 432.6 → 436.0 (x0.992) | 266.5 → 266.2 (x1.001) |

Target HM x1.160. Every gate inside 3%.

- Verdict: WIN — committed. Streak resets to 0.
- On the ARM target cell reading x0.992: stated plainly, that is nominally
below 1.0, and the win rule asks for neither target cell regressing. It
is parity, and the case for saying so is not "it's small": the capture is
#[cfg]-ed out on aarch64, so the removal path there is the same code as
base; the sign test is 7/16, no majority in either direction; the cell's
A/A spread on unchanged code is ±3.7%; and doubling the sample moved it
0.986 → 0.992, toward 1.0, as regression to the mean predicts. The win is
carried entirely by x86, which is where the mechanism applies.

Floor analysis (probe, not a hypothesis) — the removal sync is now ~87% fsync

Slope probe re-run on the H8 core: per-op cost is 1.89 µs on x86 (was
3.02 before H8) and 1.86 on ARM, on fixed intercepts of 2.42 / 1.81 ms.

Then a throwaway instrumented build (wip/sync-prof, never merged) split
the sync itself, 28 samples on x86:

| phase | removal sync | settle sync |
|---|---|---|
| cursor_state | ~210 µs | ~220 µs |
| plan_incremental (header assembly + digest) | ~300 µs | ~14,600 µs |
| run_sync (seek + write + fsync) | ~3,500 µs | ~21,000 µs |

So of a 4.0 ms removal sync, ~3.5 ms is the one write batch and one fsync
the crash contract fixes, and the entire addressable remainder is ~510 µs
— 300 in the plan build, 210 in the identity check. Nothing above 13% of
that cell is reachable without trading the contract, which is not on the
table.

(The 3.5 ms is above the 2.46 ms the floor table gives for a 400 KB write
because that table let the device drain for 150 ms before fsyncing. A sync
fsyncs its 100 freshly-dirtied pages immediately, which is the real shape.)

The other number worth recording: a settle sync spends 14.6 ms of CPU
building its plan — 995 units materialized, ~12.6 MB assembled and digested.
That is by far the largest CPU cost left anywhere in the sync path, but it
belongs to a gate cell (weight 0), so it is out of this objective's scope
and noted here for whoever picks it up.

H9 — borrow the op-group slices instead of a `Vec` per unit (target: sync_remove)

plan_incremental built Vec<(usize, Vec<usize>)> — one heap allocation
per op-bearing unit, up to 1024 a sync. carried is already sorted, so each
unit's ops are a contiguous run of it and the groups can borrow slices.
Aimed at the ~230 µs of the 300 µs plan build that is allocation rather than
bytes (the memcpy and CRC together account for only ~70 µs).

Expected ceiling ~5% of the cell, against an A/A band of ±3.5% — marginal by
construction, and measured for that reason rather than assumed either way.

| cell | x86 (7 rounds) | arm (8 rounds) |
|---|---|---|
| sync_remove | 4.140 → 4.060 (x1.020, 4/7 — no majority) | 3.695 → 3.655 (x1.011, 7/8) |
| sync_append | 2.320 → 2.280 (x1.018, 4/7) | 1.700 → 1.725 (x0.986, 2/8) |
| sync_settle | 34.56 → 35.28 (x0.980, 3/7) | 19.07 → 19.11 (x0.998) |
| remove_calls | 3.380 → 3.380 (x1.000) | 1.750 → 1.795 (x0.975, 1/8) |

Target HM x1.015 — which clears the x1.01 bar on paper, with neither target
cell regressing and every gate inside 3%.

- Verdict: NON-WIN. Streak 1. Three reasons, in order of weight:
1. remove_calls on ARM moved x0.975 with base better in 7 of 8 — and
this diff cannot touch remove(). It is confined to
plan_incremental. A gate cell moving 2.5% in a direction the code
cannot cause is direct evidence that this run carries drift the
pairing did not absorb, which disqualifies a 1.5% reading taken from
the same rounds.
2. x86, the arch where the plan build is largest, has no sign-test
majority (4/7). By the standing rule that is parity, and the
harmonic mean then rests on an ARM x1.011.
3. The whole effect is at or under the cells' A/A bands (±3.5% remove,
±10% append). The goal's instruction is to reject exactly this.
The change itself is a genuine improvement — up to 1024 fewer allocations
a sync, and strictly less work — but "genuine and unmeasurable" is not a
win, and shipping it on a x1.015 claim would misrepresent the evidence.
Reverted.

Where this leaves the climb

Three wins (H1, H2, H8), six rejections (H3–H7, H9), and the objective's
main cell is now at its floor:

| | baseline | now | fsync share |
|---|---|---|---|
| sync_remove x86 | 18.58 ms | 3.39 ms (x5.5) | ~87% |
| sync_remove arm | 9.77 ms | 3.58 ms (x2.7) | — |
| sync_append x86 | 1.82 ms | 1.67 ms | at the floor |
| sync_append arm | 1.77 ms | 1.59 ms | at the floor |

The measured addressable remainder on the x86 removal cell is ~510 µs of
4.0 ms, and this rig resolves ~3.5% (±140 µs) on that cell. So the
resolution of the apparatus is now the same order as the *entire
remaining opportunity*. H9 is what that looks like in practice: a change
that is certainly an improvement, measuring 1.5% against a 3.5% band.

Further hypotheses on this objective would be proposing sub-noise work.
The honest recommendation is that the climb has converged, not that 19 more
paper rejections should be logged to reach the formal stop rule.

Loop state

Non-win streak: 1 (H9). Climb converged — see above; the objective's cells
are at the fsync floor and remaining headroom is below the rig's resolution.

Api (docs/api.md)

API Reference

turbovec exposes two index types and one serialization format per type.

- TurboQuantIndex — positional index, O(1) swap_remove delete.
- IdMapIndex — stable external u64 ids on top of TurboQuantIndex.
- TQ+ calibration — the per-coordinate calibration lifecycle.
- File formats — .tv and .tvim, plus incremental saves.

All examples below are Python. The Rust API mirrors it closely (exceptions noted below) — see each type's rustdoc for the exact signatures.

---

`TurboQuantIndex`

Positional index. Each vector is identified by its insertion slot (0..n). Fast and small, but external references to slots are invalidated by swap_remove. If you need stable ids, use IdMapIndex.

python

from turbovec import TurboQuantIndex
idx = TurboQuantIndex(dim=1536, bit_width=4)
idx.add(vectors)                        # np.ndarray of shape (n, dim), float32
scores, indices = idx.search(queries, k=10)
idx.swap_remove(5)                      # O(1); the previously-last vector moves into slot 5idx.write("index.tv")                   # .tv format
loaded = TurboQuantIndex.load("index.tv")

dim is optional. Omit it to let the index pick up the dimensionality from the first batch of vectors:

python

idx = TurboQuantIndex(bit_width=4)      # dim inferred on first add
idx.add(vectors)                         # locks dim to vectors.shape[1]

Before the first add, idx.dim is None, len(idx) is 0, and search() returns empty results. Adding a zero-row batch is a no-op: dim is still checked against the batch, but a lazy index stays lazy and its serialized bytes are unchanged. (On the Rust API, dim_opt() is the equivalent of idx.dim and returns Option<usize>; dim() is deprecated — it returns usize with 0 for a lazy index, which is unsafe to do arithmetic with, so use dim_opt() on any path that can see one.)

Methods

| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| TurboQuantIndex(dim=None, bit_width=4) | bit_width ∈ {2, 3, 4}. dim must be a positive multiple of 8 and ≤ 16384 (MAX_DIM). dim is optional; when omitted it is inferred from the first add call. |
| add(vectors) | vectors is a contiguous float32 array of shape (n, dim). On a lazy index the first call locks dim; subsequent calls must match. Raises ValueError on dim mismatch, a zero-width (0-column) batch, or any coordinate that is non-finite (NaN/Inf) or \|value\| ≥ 1e16. A vector whose L2 norm is at or below 1e-10 has no representable direction and is stored with scale 0, scoring 0 against every query. On the Rust API, a lazy index's first add must use add_2d(vectors, dim) — the flat add(&[f32]) requires an already-committed dim and panics otherwise. (Python arrays carry their shape, so this applies to Rust only.) |
| search(queries, k, *, mask=None) | Returns (scores, indices), both shape (nq, effective_k). Indices are int64 slot positions. mask is an optional bool array of length len(idx); when given, only slots with mask[i] == True contribute. effective_k = min(k, mask.sum()). Raises ValueError on a non-finite or \|value\| ≥ 1e16 query coordinate. The returned ids are invariant to multiplying a query by any positive constant, for as long as the scaled coordinates stay within float32's normal range (smallest normal 1.18e-38). Scale a query far enough that its coordinates go subnormal and they lose relative precision before scoring, so the ranking can change — measured at query magnitude ~1e-36 for dim=256 and ~1e-35 for dim=768, well below any realistic embedding. The scores are inner products, so they scale with the query. |
| swap_remove(idx) | O(1). Moves the last vector into idx; returns the previous position of that moved vector (so external refs can be updated if needed). |
| prepare() | Optional. Eagerly builds the rotation matrix, Lloyd-Max centroids and SIMD-blocked layout so the first search call doesn't pay the one-time cost. No-op on a lazy index that hasn't seen its first add. |
| sync(path) | Incremental save: writes only what changed since the last sync to the same path. See Incremental saves. load(path) reads both formats. |
| write(path, *, durable=True) / load(path) | .tv format. durable=False skips the fsync before the atomic rename — faster, but a power loss can lose the file. A durable=True save whose post-rename directory fsync fails still succeeds (the file is committed and visible) and raises a RuntimeWarning saying the rename may not survive power loss. On the Rust API this is not a flag: use write_with_durability(path, io::Durability::Fast \| Durable). |
| to_bytes() / from_bytes(data) | In-memory .tv serialization — see In-memory serialization. |
| pickle / copy.copy / copy.deepcopy | Supported on both index types via __reduce__; see In-memory serialization. Indexes are also weakly referenceable, so one can be cached in a weakref.WeakValueDictionary. |
| len(idx) / idx.dim / idx.bit_width | Introspection. idx.dim returns int once committed, or None on a lazy index that hasn't seen its first add. |
| idx.calibration_state | TQ+ calibration state: "uncalibrated" or "calibrated" — see TQ+ calibration. |

`swap_remove` semantics

swap_remove(i) is named to match Rust's Vec::swap_remove: the last element moves into slot i, and the vector is truncated by one. It is not a shift — the slots after i do not move down by one. Order is not preserved; slot indices of vectors you didn't delete may now point at different vectors than before.

Use IdMapIndex if external references have to stay stable across deletes. Search masks are external references too — see A mask is invalidated by any mutation.

Low-level construction from raw parts (Rust)

Rust embedders that hold an index payload already in memory — e.g. read out of a database page instead of a .tv file — can construct an index directly from its decoded fields with TurboQuantIndex::from_parts, skipping the file round-trip:

rust

let index = TurboQuantIndex::from_parts(
    dim_opt,        // Option<usize>: Some(dim) committed, or None for lazy
    bit_width,      // 2, 3, or 4
    n_vectors,
    packed_codes,   // Vec<u8>
    scales,         // Vec<f32>
    tqplus_shift,   // Vec<f32> (length dim, or empty = identity)
    tqplus_scale,   // Vec<f32> (length dim, or empty = identity)
)?;

It is the single validated entry point for raw-part construction: every structural invariant is checked once and any violation returns a named FromPartsError (bit_width range, dim a positive multiple of 8 and ≤ 16384, packed_codes / scales / TQ+ lengths with overflow-checked size math, the lazy-state constraints, and the same value-level validation as the file loader — finite non-negative per-vector scales, finite TQ+ shifts, finite positive TQ+ scales) rather than panicking or reading out of bounds. An index accepted by from_parts therefore always survives its own write → load round-trip. The paired accessors packed_codes(), scales(), tqplus_shift(), tqplus_scale(), bit_width(), dim_opt() and len() return the fields it consumes, so an index round-trips through your own storage format. The per-coordinate encode / pack / search / codebook kernels are crate-internal — from_parts is the supported low-level API. (Rust only; the Python binding uses write / load.)

---

`IdMapIndex`

Stable-id wrapper around TurboQuantIndex: a hash-table-backed u64 id ↔ slot mapping, with O(1) remove(id). Slot indices still move when a vector is removed, but ids do not.

python

import numpy as np
from turbovec import IdMapIndex
idx = IdMapIndex(dim=1536, bit_width=4)
idx.add_with_ids(vectors, np.array([1001, 1002, 1003], dtype=np.uint64))
scores, ids = idx.search(queries, k=10)   # ids are uint64 external ids
idx.remove(1002)                           # O(1) by id
assert 1003 in idx                         # __contains__ sugaridx.write("index.tvim")                    # .tvim format
loaded = IdMapIndex.load("index.tvim")

As with TurboQuantIndex, dim is optional and gets inferred from the first add_with_ids call:

python

idx = IdMapIndex(bit_width=4)            # dim inferred on first add
idx.add_with_ids(vectors, ids)           # locks dim to vectors.shape[1]

Methods

| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| IdMapIndex(dim=None, bit_width=4) | bit_width ∈ {2, 3, 4}; dim must be a positive multiple of 8 and ≤ 16384. dim is optional; when omitted it is inferred from the first add_with_ids call. |
| add_with_ids(vectors, ids) | ids is a uint64 array with length vectors.shape[0]. On a lazy index the first call locks dim. Raises ValueError on dim mismatch, duplicate ids, len(ids) != vectors.shape[0], a zero-width batch, or a non-finite / \|value\| ≥ 1e16 coordinate. On the Rust API, a lazy index's first add must use add_with_ids_2d(vectors, dim, ids) — the flat add_with_ids requires an already-committed dim and panics otherwise. (Rust only; Python arrays carry their shape.) |
| remove(id) -> bool | True if the id was present and removed, False otherwise. O(1). |
| search(queries, k, , allowlist=None) | Returns (scores, ids) — ids are uint64 external ids. allowlist is an optional uint64 array of ids; when given, results are restricted to those ids and effective_k = min(k, number of unique ids in allowlist) (the allowlist is deduplicated; repeated ids don't widen the result). Raises ValueError on an empty allowlist or a non-finite / \|value\| ≥ 1e16 query coordinate, and KeyError on unknown ids. On the Rust API search_with_allowlist returns Result<(Vec<f32>, Vec<u64>), SearchError> and reports every one of those conditions as Err: AllowlistEmpty, UnknownId(id), and the query-shape pair QueryBufferNotMultipleOfDim / InvalidQueryValue. The allowlist-free search returns the tuple directly and is the panicking form — it re-panics with the same message on the two query-shape conditions. Rust callers who want the row count and the effective* k rather than a bare tuple use try_search / try_search_with_allowlist, which return Result<IdSearchResults, SearchError> — the id-space counterpart of SearchResults, with scores, ids, nq, k and scores_for_query / ids_for_query row accessors. |
| contains(id) / id in idx | Membership. |
| sync(path) | Incremental save: writes only what changed since the last sync to the same path. See Incremental saves. load(path) reads both formats. |
| write(path, *, durable=True) / load(path) | .tvim format. durable=False skips the fsync before the atomic rename — faster, but a power loss can lose the file. A durable=True save whose post-rename directory fsync fails still succeeds (the file is committed and visible) and raises a RuntimeWarning saying the rename may not survive power loss. On the Rust API this is not a flag: use write_with_durability(path, io::Durability::Fast \| Durable). |
| to_bytes() / from_bytes(data) | In-memory .tvim serialization — see In-memory serialization. |
| pickle / copy.copy / copy.deepcopy | Same as TurboQuantIndex. |
| len(idx) / idx.dim / idx.bit_width / idx.calibration_state | Same as TurboQuantIndex. |
| prepare() | As TurboQuantIndex.prepare(), and additionally warms the lazy id -> slot map, so the first search(..., allowlist=), contains() or remove() after a load doesn't pay the one-time O(n) build either. |

When to use which

- TurboQuantIndex — you never delete, or you're fine with positional ids.
- IdMapIndex — you need stable external ids (e.g. string-id → vector mapping maintained by the caller).

All the framework integrations (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack) use IdMapIndex internally for exactly this reason.

TQ+ calibration

TQ+ fits a per-coordinate (shift, scale) pair from the empirical quantiles of a sample of your vectors, and every stored vector is encoded in that one calibrated coordinate system. It is worth roughly +2.5 points of R@10 on average, and up to ~8.7 on the most anisotropic data measured.

The calibration comes from exactly one place: an explicit idx.calibrate(sample) call (calibrate / calibrate_2d in Rust). The index never fits one on its own — an index that is never calibrated is plain TurboQuant, with no fitted state anywhere, and its encoded bytes are independent of how adds were batched or ordered. idx.calibration_state reports which of the two states an index is in:

| state | meaning |
|---|---|
| "uncalibrated" | No calibration committed. Fully functional, just without the TQ+ recall gain. |
| "calibrated" | A calibration is committed, and every stored row is encoded under it — including rows added before the calibrate call, which that call re-encoded. |

The sample is your responsibility. calibrate uses every row you give it. Around 1024 rows gets within half a point of R@10 of a fit on the entire corpus on most corpora measured, and 2048 does so everywhere — but it must be a representative, random sample of the vectors the index will hold. A sorted or clustered prefix of the same size fits quantiles that are shifted and far too narrow, and actively destroys recall. Passing the whole corpus is always safe.

calibrate may be called at any time and repeatedly. On a populated index it re-encodes every stored row from its stored codes — no original vectors needed. Know what that re-encode can and cannot do:

- Refitting with the same or a nearby pair is free: the codes reach an exact fixed point.
- Calibrating after a large uncalibrated ingest costs several points of recall versus calibrating first (the re-encode is a second quantization). Calibrate before adding when you can.
- A badly biased earlier calibration cannot be repaired by refitting: its too-narrow fit clipped coordinates to the outer centroids at encode time, and no later pair recovers what clipping destroyed. Rebuild from the source vectors.

The calibration round-trips exactly through write/load, to_bytes/from_bytes, pickling and copying, on both index types. Draining an index to zero vectors keeps its committed calibration.

---

Filtering

Both index types support restricting the returned top-k to a caller-supplied subset of vectors. Unlike post-filtering (search then drop), the kernel never inserts disallowed vectors into the per-query heap, so you always get up to k results from the allowed set rather than fewer.

python

IdMapIndex — allowlist of external ids (typical use)

allowed = np.array([1003, 1010, 1042], dtype=np.uint64)
scores, ids = idx.search(queries, k=10, allowlist=allowed)
scores.shape == (nq, min(k, n_allowed)) == (nq, 3)   # 3 unique allowed ids
TurboQuantIndex — bool mask over slots

mask = np.ones(len(idx), dtype=bool)
mask[disabled_slots] = False
scores, slots = idx.search(queries, k=10, mask=mask)

The output shape is (nq, min(k, n_allowed)), where n_allowed is the number of distinct allowed vectors — unique ids in the allowlist, or mask.sum() for a mask — the same shrinking behaviour you already see when k > len(idx). No -1 / NaN padding; pad on the caller side if you need a fixed-width batch.

A mask is invalidated by any mutation, not just a length-changing one

A mask names slots, and swap_remove renumbers slots — so any mutation invalidates a mask, including one that leaves len(idx) unchanged. Rebuild the mask after every mutation.

The length check is not what protects you. It catches only a size difference (ValueError: mask length 100 does not match index size 99); a swap_remove(i) + add(...) pair restores the original length while leaving a different vector in slot i, so a mask built before that pair passes validation and then silently selects a different set of vectors than you intended. Nothing outside the index leaks and no error is raised — the selected set is simply the wrong one.

Allowlists on IdMapIndex do not have this failure mode, because they name external ids and the index never renumbers an id. An allowlist entry for an id that has since been removed raises KeyError (Rust: SearchError::UnknownId) instead of quietly resolving to some other vector. The one way an allowlist entry can come to name a different vector is if you re-add that same id yourself with different data.

Common use cases:

- Hybrid retrieval where a SQL/BM25 stage produces a candidate id set.
- Access control or multi-tenant queries (only return ids the caller can see).
- Time-windowed search (e.g. only documents from the last 7 days).

The code payload is grouped into 32-vector blocks and padded up to a
whole block, so it is ceil(n_vectors / 32) * 32 vectors wide on disk.
At bit_width = 3 a byte holds only two codes rather than 8/3, making
the payload ~33% larger than dim * bit_width / 8 per vector would
suggest.

python

payload = idx.to_bytes()                  # bytes, byte-identical to write(path)'s file
restored = IdMapIndex.from_bytes(payload) # same validation as load(path) on a write() file

to_bytes() returns exactly the bytes write(path) would put in the file (.tv for TurboQuantIndex, .tvim for IdMapIndex). from_bytes(data) accepts bytes or bytearray and applies exactly the same validation load applies to a write() file — version handling, structural and value-level checks, the embedded codebook check (a v6 file carries the Lloyd-Max codebook, and a file whose codebook is not a valid one for its (bit_width, dim) is rejected — the relevant case for anyone hand-writing files through the raw io::* writers), and the .tvim duplicate-id check — raising ValueError on a corrupt payload (there is no file to blame, so it is not an OSError). Both release the GIL. This is the path to use for caches and database columns, and it is what both index types' own pickle / copy support and the integration stores' are built on.

pickle.dumps(idx), copy.copy(idx) and copy.deepcopy(idx) work on both index types — they reduce to from_bytes(to_bytes()), so an index can cross a multiprocessing spawn boundary (the default start method on macOS and Windows) and a container holding one can be deep-copied. The copy is fully independent of the original. Everything true of to_bytes is therefore true of a pickle — in particular the calibration state round-trips exactly.

Equality and hashing stay identity-based, so idx == pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(idx)) is False even though the two hold the same vectors. Compare to_bytes() payloads to check that a saved and a loaded index agree.

An index defines no __bool__, so truthiness falls back to __len__: an index holding no vectors is falsy, and idx = idx or build_index() therefore discards a perfectly good empty index. Test for an index with idx is None, and for its contents with len(idx).

An index also takes no user attributes (idx.tag = "x" raises AttributeError) and is not subclassable (class Sub(IdMapIndex): ... raises TypeError). Both are deliberate. A per-instance __dict__ is not traversed by the garbage collector, so a reference cycle running through an attribute would leak the whole index rather than being collected, and the attributes would be silently dropped by pickle / copy, which reduce through from_bytes(to_bytes()) and carry the payload only. A subclass instance would likewise pickle and copy back to the base class, silently changing type. Attach per-index state by holding the index in an object of your own instead. Re-invoking idx.__init__(dim=...) on a built index does nothing at all — it neither resets nor re-shapes it — so build a new index instead of trying to reconfigure one in place.

On the Rust API the same pair exists as to_bytes() / from_bytes(&[u8]), alongside generic-sink forms write_to_writer<W: Write> / load_from_reader<R: Read> on both types and the raw module-level entry points io::write_to, io::load_from, io::write_id_map_to, io::load_id_map_from (whose code-payload parameter is the v6 sequential blocked layout plus the codebook arrays — see codes_blocked_seq() / codebook_for_write()). Every io::write* entry point validates the lengths of the buffers it is handed against the header it writes them under — one scale per vector, and a code buffer of exactly the blocked-layout size (bit_width, dim, n_vectors) implies, alongside the codebook, TQ+-calibration and slot_to_id length invariants. A mismatch panics before anything is written, so a hand-built buffer cannot produce a file that loads clean and silently mis-scores; the code checks the buffers, so its # Panics section is the authority on the exact conditions.

On the Rust API TurboQuantIndex::serialized_len() returns the exact byte count to_bytes() will return and write(path) will put in the file, computed from the index's geometry without serializing anything — for sizing a buffer, a database column or a quota check ahead of time. It is exact rather than an upper bound, and to_bytes() uses it to allocate its buffer once.

Incremental saves — `sync()`

write(path) rewrites the whole file. sync(path) writes only what changed since the last sync to the same path, in a second container format (.tv / .tvim magic TV7\0) built for repeated small commits:

python

idx.sync("index.tv")     # first sync to a fresh path: writes the whole container
idx.add(more_vectors)
idx.swap_remove(3)
idx.sync("index.tv")     # writes the delta and commits
reloaded = TurboQuantIndex.load("index.tv")   # load() recognises both formats

A loaded index stays bound to the path it came from, so it keeps syncing forward incrementally rather than rewriting.

What it costs. An append writes the new 32-row blocks plus a commit header. A removal writes no block at all — it rides the commit header as a redo op, and a later sync folds it into its block. The whole-file events are an explicit calibrate() (a refit re-encodes every stored code) and enough accumulated removals to exceed the header's op capacity; both compact the file by rewriting it whole, through the same temp-file-and-rename path write() uses.

Durability. Every sync is durable when it returns — there is no fast mode, and the fsync is sync_all, not a data-only variant. A crash at any byte leaves the previous commit intact: the file carries two alternating commit headers, so a torn header fails its checksum and the other one is adopted, and each header names the blocks its own sync wrote along with their digest, so a commit that reached disk ahead of its data is detected rather than served. See Versioning and limits for what this does not cover — damage arriving after the write.

One writer per path. Each full write stamps the file with a random nonce, so if another process replaces the file underneath a bound index, the next sync reports it rather than writing over their commits. Two processes syncing one path concurrently is not supported; the check makes the unsupported case loud, not safe.

sync() files are path-only. from_bytes and load_from_reader read the write() format. A v7 container needs random access — two header slots, fixed-stride block units, redo ops — which a byte stream cannot serve, and to_bytes() only ever emits the write() format. Handing v7 bytes to from_bytes raises an error saying so and pointing at load(path).

Load performance

The file stores the codes in the arch-neutral sequential blocked layout the search kernels consume, plus the Lloyd-Max codebook, so a load seeds the search caches directly: there is no O(n·dim) repack and no codebook solve on first search. Non-x86 uses the stored layout as-is; x86 applies one cheap in-block nibble interleave at load (a threaded SIMD pass, ~2 ms for a 77 MB index). The rotation is deterministic and rebuilt from dim in well under a millisecond. A stored index survives cross-platform load → re-save byte-identically; the format itself adds no platform dependence.

Versioning and limits

Both .tv and .tvim loads validate the header before allocating: bit_width must be 2/3/4, dim a positive multiple of 8 and ≤ 16384 (MAX_DIM — the same cap enforced at construction, so any index this build can create it can also load back), and every payload size is computed with checked arithmetic and read through a length-capped reader. A malformed or untrusted file therefore raises a clean error rather than panicking, dividing by zero, or driving an oversized allocation. Codebook, scale, and calibration values are additionally validated at the value level (finite, in-support), so a structurally valid file carrying out-of-range values in those fields is rejected rather than loaded.

What that validation does not give you is integrity checking of the payload. Neither format checksums its stored codes, and the value-level checks only reject values that leave the valid range — a flipped mantissa bit in a scale is still a finite positive float, and a flipped code byte is indistinguishable from a legitimate one. Damage arriving from outside the writer (a failing disk, a truncated copy, a bad transfer) therefore loads clean and changes search results silently.

Measured by flipping every one of the 32,912 bits of a 4114-byte .tv file in turn and loading each result: 1460 flips (4%) are rejected and 31,452 (96%) load and return a different index. By section, rejections are 144 of 144 header bits, 988 of 992 codebook bits, 169 of 3072 scale bits, 159 of 4128 calibration-trailer bits, and 0 of 24,576 code bits. The scale and trailer figures are the value-level checks doing exactly what they claim and no more: a flip that drives a float non-finite, negative, or out of support is caught, and every mantissa flip is not. The codes carry no validation of any kind, which is why that column is zero and why it is also the largest section.

This is a deliberate scope choice, not an oversight. A save is atomic and a crash mid-write leaves the previous file intact, so the writer cannot leave a torn index behind; what is out of scope is damage that arrives afterwards. If you need to detect that, checksum the file yourself or store it on a filesystem that does.

n_calib = 0 in the TQ+ trailer means an uncalibrated index; otherwise it equals dim. Loading a version-5 file (packed bit-plane payload, same rotation) is supported transparently and converts on load; versions 1 through 4 predate the v5 rotation break and are rejected with a rebuild hint.

dim = 0 in the core header signals a lazy uncommitted index. It is only valid alongside n_vectors = 0; on load it produces an index whose dim is None until the first add / add_with_ids call.

Both formats carry a magic + version byte and are stable across minor versions. Breaking changes bump the version byte. write() and to_bytes() emit version 6; sync() writes the separate v7 container described in Incremental saves. Version-6 files are not readable by earlier turbovec releases (their loaders reject the version byte with an "unsupported format version" error — no silent misparse).

Integrations/Agno (docs/integrations/agno.md)

Agno integration

turbovec.agno.TurboQuantVectorDb is an Agno VectorDb backed by an IdMapIndex. It implements the same public surface as agno.vectordb.lancedb.LanceDb (the closest in-tree single-machine backend) so this can be swapped in wherever LanceDb is used.

Install

bash

pip install turbovec[agno]

Basic usage

python

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.knowledge import Knowledge
from agno.knowledge.embedder.openai import OpenAIEmbedder
from turbovec.agno import TurboQuantVectorDb
vector_db = TurboQuantVectorDb(embedder=OpenAIEmbedder())
knowledge = Knowledge(vector_db=vector_db)
knowledge.add_content(text_content="Turbovec compresses vectors to 4 bits per dimension.")agent = Agent(knowledge=knowledge)
agent.print_response("What does turbovec do?")

Constructor

python

TurboQuantVectorDb(
    *,
    id: Optional[str] = None,
    name: Optional[str] = None,
    description: Optional[str] = None,
    similarity_threshold: Optional[float] = None,
    embedder: Embedder,                              # required
    bit_width: int = 4,
    search_type: SearchType = SearchType.vector,
    distance: Distance = Distance.cosine,
    reranker: Optional[Reranker] = None,
    path: Optional[str] = None,
)

| Parameter | Notes |
|---|---|
| embedder | Required. Source of truth for the embedding dimension — embedder.dimensions sizes the underlying quantized index. |
| bit_width | Quantization width per coordinate; one of {2, 3, 4}. |
| search_type | Only SearchType.vector is supported. Constructing with keyword or hybrid raises ValueError (keyword/hybrid would require an external BM25/lexical index that turbovec doesn't ship). |
| distance | Distance.cosine (default) or Distance.max_inner_product — see Similarity modes. Distance.l2 raises ValueError. |
| similarity_threshold | Optional. Results scoring below the threshold are dropped. Under Distance.cosine the score is the raw cosine, clamped to [0, 1] — the same definition agno's normalize_cosine and the pgvector backend use. Under Distance.max_inner_product the raw inner product is mapped via (ip + 1) / 2 and thresholds are dataset-relative (see below). |
| reranker | Optional Agno reranker applied to the result set after vector retrieval. |
| path | Optional directory for save/load persistence. When given, create() loads existing data from this path if present. |

Similarity modes

The distance parameter selects how scores are computed. It is fixed for the lifetime of the store:

- Distance.cosine (default). Document embeddings are L2-normalized at insert time and query embeddings at search time, so the kernel's raw score is cosine similarity in [-1, 1] for embeddings of any magnitude, and similarity_threshold compares against that cosine directly, so it behaves as a true [0, 1] relevance cutoff. A negative cosine clamps to 0, so any positive threshold drops it. Zero vectors are kept as-is and score 0 against everything.
- Distance.max_inner_product. Vectors are stored and queried raw: ranking is by raw inner product (magnitude-aware). The (ip + 1) / 2 mapping agno defines for this mode saturates at 0/1 once raw scores leave [-1, 1], so similarity_threshold values are dataset-relative here — calibrate against your embedder, or leave the threshold unset.

Insert / upsert

insert and upsert follow the same (content_hash, documents, filters) signature as LanceDb. The internal doc_id is derived as md5(f"{base_id}_{content_hash}") where base_id is doc.id (or md5(content) when missing). The contract: the same (base_id, content_hash) pair always produces the same internal id, and the same base_id with a different content_hash is treated as a new entry — letting you keep content versions side-by-side.

Because doc_id is derived from base_id + content_hash (not from name, content_id, or metadata), two documents can collide on the same doc_id — a repeated explicit doc.id, or two documents with identical content and no id. When that happens both are stored and both remain individually deletable — keep-all, matching LanceDb's append-only behavior. (This differs from the LangChain store, which keeps the last write per id.) At query time, duplicate-content hits collapse to a single search result — see Filtered search.

python

from agno.knowledge.document import Document
docs = [Document(id="doc-1", name="paper.pdf", content="...", meta_data={"source": "arxiv"})]
vector_db.insert(content_hash="v1", documents=docs)
Same doc with a new content_hash → new stored entry.

vector_db.insert(content_hash="v2", documents=docs)

Documents without embeddings are embedded via self.embedder before insertion. If embedding fails (get_embedding returns None) the call raises ValueError rather than silently dropping the document.

Filtered search

Filters are resolved to an allowlist before scoring — the kernel only ever inserts allowed candidates into the per-query heap. You always get up to limit results from the filtered set; no over-fetching, no recall hit on selective filters.

python

results = vector_db.search(
    "quantum computing applications",
    limit=5,
    filters={"source": "arxiv", "year": 2024},      # AND of exact equality
)

Dict filters use AND-of-exact-equality on Document.meta_data. List-style FilterExpr filters (Agno's structured filter type) are silently ignored, matching LanceDb's behaviour.

Search results are deduplicated by content: after filtering (and reranking, when a reranker is set), hits with identical content (keyed by md5 of the text) collapse to the first occurrence, matching LanceDb.search. When duplicate-content documents are stored — e.g. the same text inserted under two content_hashes — a search can therefore return fewer than limit results; there is no over-fetch to refill the list.

Existence checks

python

vector_db.name_exists("paper.pdf")          # bool — by Document.name
vector_db.id_exists("derived-md5-id")        # bool — by the internally-derived id
vector_db.content_hash_exists("v1")          # O(1) — set lookup, not a scan

Delete

python

vector_db.delete_by_id(derived_id)               # by internal id
vector_db.delete_by_name("paper.pdf")             # by Document.name
vector_db.delete_by_metadata({"source": "web"})   # AND-of-equality on meta_data
vector_db.delete_by_content_id("cid-42")          # by Document.content_id
vector_db.drop()                                  # clear all
vector_db.delete()                                # returns False, deletes nothing — use drop()

Each delete_by_* returns True iff at least one document was removed. delete_by_name / delete_by_content_id / delete_by_metadata remove only the documents matching that exact predicate, even when other stored documents share the same derived doc_id. delete_by_id removes every document under that internal id.

update_metadata

python

vector_db.update_metadata("cid-42", {"reviewed": True})

Merges the given metadata into meta_data of every document with the matching content_id. Overrides the base class's no-op warning.

Save / load

python

vector_db = TurboQuantVectorDb(embedder=embedder, path="./my-store")
vector_db.create()                          # loads from path if existing
... insert documents ...
vector_db.save()                            # persists to path

Writes two files under the given folder path:
- index.tvim — the IdMapIndex payload.
- docstore.json — JSON-encoded document text, metadata, and id maps.

create() starts a fresh empty index only when the folder holds neither file. A folder holding just one of them is a partial save, and create() raises FileNotFoundError rather than starting empty — starting empty there would let the next save() overwrite the surviving file.

Document metadata must be JSON-serializable — same constraint Agno's LanceDb imposes on its payload column. The side-car carries a schema_version field; loaders refuse to deserialize unknown versions, and validate that the side-car's id maps are consistent with the loaded index.tvim (a mismatched or out-of-sync pair raises at load rather than failing later at query time).

The similarity mode is recorded in docstore.json. Because the store is constructed (with a distance) before create() loads the files, a recorded mode that conflicts with the constructor's raises ValueError — construct with the matching distance to load. A save written before the mode field existed holds raw, unnormalized vectors: it loads as Distance.max_inner_product — exactly the scoring it was written under — and self.distance is updated to reflect that.

save is atomic with respect to the destination: both files are written to sibling temp files and moved into place, so a failed save (e.g. non-JSON-serializable metadata) leaves a store previously saved at the same path intact.

The store also supports pickle (e.g. for multiprocessing workers, provided the embedder/reranker are picklable) and copy.copy / copy.deepcopy — both copies return a fully independent store (there is no shallow copy that shares the underlying index).

Async

The lifecycle, write, and read methods have async counterparts: async_create, async_drop, async_exists, async_name_exists, async_get_count, async_insert, async_upsert, async_search. The remaining methods (the delete_by_* family, update_metadata, save, id_exists, content_hash_exists, optimize) are sync-only. The async paths call the embedder's async_get_embedding / async_get_embeddings_batch_and_usage for genuine async embedding generation. Agno's Embedder base class always defines both, so an embedder that inherits them without implementing them raises NotImplementedError on the async paths — use the sync methods with such an embedder.

async_create, async_drop, async_insert, async_upsert, and async_search run the index work on a worker thread (asyncio.to_thread) so the event loop stays responsive while a large insert or search is in flight. That is the shape Agno's own sync-backed vector DBs use (chromadb, pgvector, cassandra, pineconedb all wrap their sync bodies in asyncio.to_thread). async_exists, async_name_exists, and async_get_count answer inline — they are O(1) reads, and a thread hop would cost more than it saves.

Cancellation is only partial, and the distinction matters:

- asyncio.wait_for, task.cancel(), or a client disconnect returns control to the awaiting caller promptly — that part now works, where previously the coroutine ran to completion and the timeout never fired.
- It does not decide what happened to the insert. If the worker thread had already started, it runs the call to completion — work inside the Rust core is not interruptible at all — and the insert commits in full. If the executor was saturated, the call is cancelled before it ever starts and nothing is inserted. A cancelled async_insert is "outcome unknown": it may have fully committed, or may never have begun. Retry through async_upsert on the same content_hash if you need the retry to be idempotent.
- What is guaranteed: the outcome is all-or-nothing. The store is never left in a torn state.
- Timing out does not make the work go away: the loop's shutdown (asyncio.run on the way out, or loop.shutdown_default_executor()) waits for the worker thread, so a process that exits right after a short timeout can still block for the rest of the in-flight call.

Thread safety

The store is safe for concurrent multi-threaded use:

- Reads run concurrently and scale. search, the existence checks, and get_count take no lock; the underlying index releases the GIL during scoring, so independent searches from multiple threads overlap and scale.
- Writes serialize. insert, upsert, the delete_by_ family, update_metadata, drop, and save serialize on a per-store lock. The async_ variants delegate to the same locked bodies.
- A read overlapping a write sees pre- or post-write state — never a torn one. Under heavy concurrent churn a search may transiently return fewer than limit results (hits deleted mid-search are skipped).

What the contract does not cover:

- No cross-call atomicity. A caller-side check-then-act sequence (id_exists then delete_by_id) can interleave with other writers. Batch writes are not atomic with respect to readers: a search overlapping an upsert can briefly see both the old and new generation of a content_hash.
- save serializes with writes (so it always snapshots a consistent store); reads may proceed during a save.
- The embedder and reranker are invoked outside the store's lock and must be thread-safe themselves.
- Two stores writing to the same path is safe. Concurrent save calls to one destination from several threads each publish atomically and the last writer wins; a caller never sees a torn file, and never an error caused only by the other writer. Which writer wins is not defined.
- Multi-process access is not supported.

Known limitations

- Vector search only. search_type=SearchType.keyword and SearchType.hybrid are not supported (would require an external BM25 / lexical index). Constructor raises ValueError on those.
- No L2 distance. Distance.cosine and Distance.max_inner_product are the supported metrics; Distance.l2 raises ValueError (the underlying kernel scores by inner product).
- Embeddings are not retained after quantization. Stored vectors are the quantized form; the original full-precision embedding can't be recovered.
- JSON-serializable metadata only. Non-JSON-serializable values fail at save() time.

Integrations/Haystack (docs/integrations/haystack.md)

Haystack integration

turbovec.haystack.TurboQuantDocumentStore is a Haystack DocumentStore backed by an IdMapIndex. It implements the same public surface as haystack.document_stores.in_memory.InMemoryDocumentStore, so anywhere that store is written to or read from directly it can be swapped in. The query half of a RAG pipeline is not part of that surface — see Using in a Haystack Pipeline for the retriever you have to bring yourself.

Install

bash

pip install turbovec[haystack]

Basic usage

python

from haystack import Document
from turbovec.haystack import TurboQuantDocumentStore
store = TurboQuantDocumentStore()
store.write_documents([
    Document(content="...", embedding=[...], meta={"source": "a"}),
    Document(content="...", embedding=[...], meta={"source": "b"}),
])results = store.embedding_retrieval(query_embedding=[...], top_k=5)

Documents must have pre-computed embeddings — TurboQuantDocumentStore doesn't invoke an embedder. Pipe a Haystack embedder component upstream if your documents arrive without embeddings.

Constructor

python

TurboQuantDocumentStore(
    dim: Optional[int] = None,
    bit_width: int = 4,
    *,
    embedding_similarity_function: Literal["dot_product", "cosine"] = "cosine",
    async_executor: Optional[ThreadPoolExecutor] = None,
    return_embedding: bool = False,
)

| Parameter | Notes |
|---|---|
| dim | Optional. When omitted the vector dimensionality is inferred from the first write_documents call. |
| bit_width | Quantization width per coordinate; one of {2, 3, 4}. |
| embedding_similarity_function | The store's similarity mode — see Similarity modes. Selects both how vectors are stored ("cosine", the default, normalizes; "dot_product" keeps them raw) and the scale_score=True formula on retrieval. Any other value raises ValueError. |
| async_executor | Optional ThreadPoolExecutor for the *_async methods. If omitted, a single-threaded executor is created and cleaned up with the store. |
| return_embedding | Accepted for API parity with InMemoryDocumentStore. The full-precision embedding is never available (quantized away), so Document.embedding on retrieved docs is always None regardless of the flag. |

Similarity modes

embedding_similarity_function selects how scores are computed. It is fixed for the lifetime of the store:

- "cosine" (default). Document embeddings are L2-normalized at write time and query embeddings at retrieval time, so raw scores are cosine similarity in [-1, 1] for embeddings of any magnitude, ranking matches InMemoryDocumentStore's cosine branch, and scale_score=True maps scores into [0, 1] via (s + 1) / 2 preserving order. Zero vectors are kept as-is and score 0 against everything (matching the reference, which substitutes a norm of 1 for zero-norm vectors).
- "dot_product". Vectors are stored and queried raw: scores are raw inner products and ranking is magnitude-aware — matching InMemoryDocumentStore's dot-product branch. scale_score=True applies the reference's expit(s / 100) sigmoid.

`DuplicatePolicy`

write_documents takes a policy argument controlling how id collisions are handled:

python

from haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy
store.write_documents(docs, policy=DuplicatePolicy.FAIL)      # raise if any id collides
store.write_documents(docs, policy=DuplicatePolicy.SKIP)      # silently skip colliding ids
store.write_documents(docs, policy=DuplicatePolicy.OVERWRITE) # remove-then-re-add colliding ids
DuplicatePolicy.NONE is treated as FAIL.

Returns the number of documents actually written (so SKIP may return less than len(docs)).

Under FAIL (and NONE), documents are committed one at a time in batch order and the DuplicateDocumentError is raised on the first colliding id — every non-duplicate document before the collision stays persisted, matching InMemoryDocumentStore's post-exception state exactly.

Delete

python

store.delete_documents(["id-1", "id-2"])     # by id; missing ids are silently ignored
store.delete_by_filter(filters)               # by filter; returns count
store.delete_all_documents()                  # clear everything

delete_documents and delete_by_filter are O(1) per matching document via the inner IdMapIndex.

Filters

filter_documents(filters), embedding_retrieval(..., filters=...), and the other filter-aware helpers accept the full Haystack filter DSL:

python

filters = {
    "operator": "AND",
    "conditions": [
        {"field": "meta.source", "operator": "==", "value": "manual"},
        {"field": "meta.version", "operator": ">=", "value": 2},
    ],
}
All docs matching the filter (no vector search):

docs = store.filter_documents(filters=filters)
Top-k nearest to a query, filtered:

results = store.embedding_retrieval(
    query_embedding=[...],
    top_k=5,
    filters=filters,
)

Filter evaluation is delegated to haystack.utils.filters.document_matches_filter — anything Haystack's own stores support, we support.

embedding_retrieval validates query_embedding up front and raises ValueError("query_embedding should be a non-empty list of floats.") for an empty or non-numeric vector, matching InMemoryDocumentStore. A negative top_k also raises, where the reference returns n - 1 documents.

For embedding_retrieval, filters are resolved to an allowlist before scoring rather than via post-filtering. Selective filters return up to top_k matches from the filtered set; you never get fewer than top_k results just because the filter happened to exclude the top-scoring candidates.

Metadata helpers

python

store.count_documents_by_filter(filters)                          # int
store.count_unique_metadata_by_filter(filters, ["source", "tag"]) # dict[str, int]
store.update_by_filter(filters, {"reviewed": True})               # bulk metadata update; returns count
store.get_metadata_fields_info()
{"source": {"type": "keyword"}, "version": {"type": "int"}, ...}
store.get_metadata_field_min_max("version")     # {"min": 1, "max": 5}
store.get_metadata_field_unique_values("source")
(["a", "b", "c"], 3)

update_by_filter updates metadata only — embeddings are quantized at write time and not re-encoded.

Async

Every public method has an *_async variant:

python

await store.write_documents_async(docs)
results = await store.embedding_retrieval_async(query_embedding=q, top_k=5)
await store.delete_documents_async(["id-1"])

By default they run on a single-threaded executor owned by the store. Pass an async_executor= to the constructor to share an executor across stores (or to use more workers).

Save / load

python

store.save_to_disk("./my-store")
... later ...

store = TurboQuantDocumentStore.load_from_disk("./my-store")

Writes two files under the given folder path:
- index.tvim — the IdMapIndex payload (quantized vectors + id maps).
- docstore.json — JSON-encoded document text, metadata, and id maps.

Document metadata must be JSON-serializable — the same constraint InMemoryDocumentStore.save_to_disk imposes. If the docstore.json side-car is out of sync with its index.tvim (a partial copy, a stale backup, tampering), load_from_disk raises a ValueError immediately rather than failing later with a KeyError at query time.

save_to_disk is atomic with respect to the destination: both files are written to sibling temp files and moved into place, so a failed save (e.g. non-JSON-serializable metadata) leaves a store previously saved at the same path intact.

The store also supports pickle (e.g. for multiprocessing workers; the restored store owns a fresh async executor) and copy.copy / copy.deepcopy — both copies return a fully independent store (there is no shallow copy that shares the underlying index).

Using in a Haystack Pipeline

TurboQuantDocumentStore implements to_dict / from_dict so it can be serialized as part of a Haystack Pipeline. to_dict captures the component config (dim, bit_width, embedding_similarity_function, return_embedding); persisting the stored documents is the job of save_to_disk / load_from_disk.

Plug into a standard RAG pipeline, with two differences from InMemoryDocumentStore worth knowing before you wire it up.

No paired retriever ships. In Haystack the query half of a pipeline is a store-specific @component retriever, and core's InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever hard-rejects any store that is not the in-memory one. turbovec does not ship a retriever, so supply your own thin component that calls store.embedding_retrieval(...), or query the store directly outside the pipeline.

Reloading a serialized pipeline needs an allowlist. to_dict / from_dict work, but on haystack-ai 3.x — permitted by the declared haystack-ai>=2.23.0 floor — deserializing a pipeline that references an out-of-tree store raises DeserializationError unless the module is trusted. InMemoryDocumentStore is exempt because Haystack trusts its own module:

python

Pipeline.loads(pipeline.dumps())                                    # DeserializationError
Pipeline.loads(pipeline.dumps(), allowed_modules=["turbovec.haystack"])   # OK

HAYSTACK_DESERIALIZATION_ALLOWLIST sets the same thing process-wide.

The sentence-transformers embedders live in their own integration package (pip install sentence-transformers-haystack, which requires haystack-ai 2.24 or newer):

python

from haystack import Pipeline
from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
from haystack_integrations.components.embedders.sentence_transformers import (
    SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,
)
store = TurboQuantDocumentStore()                 # dim inferred from first batch
indexing = Pipeline()
indexing.add_component("embedder", SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(
    model="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
))
indexing.add_component("writer", DocumentWriter(document_store=store))
indexing.connect("embedder.documents", "writer.documents")indexing.run({"embedder": {"documents": my_docs}})

Thread safety

The store is safe for concurrent multi-threaded use:

- Reads run concurrently and scale. embedding_retrieval, filter_documents, the count and metadata helpers, and storage take no lock; the underlying index releases the GIL during scoring, so independent retrievals from multiple threads overlap and scale.
- Writes serialize. write_documents, delete_documents / delete_all_documents / delete_by_filter, update_by_filter, and save_to_disk serialize on a per-store lock. The *_async variants delegate to the same locked bodies.
- A read overlapping a write sees pre- or post-write state — never a torn one. Under heavy concurrent churn a retrieval may transiently return fewer than top_k documents (hits deleted mid-retrieval are skipped).

What the contract does not cover:

- No cross-call atomicity. A caller-side check-then-act sequence (count_documents then filter_documents) can interleave with other writers. Batch writes are not atomic with respect to readers: a retrieval overlapping an OVERWRITE write can briefly see a document id under both its old and new entry.
- save_to_disk serializes with writes (so it always snapshots a consistent store); reads may proceed during a save.
- to_dict / from_dict and the executor lifecycle are assumed single-threaded.
- Two stores writing to the same path is safe. Concurrent save_to_disk calls to one destination from several threads each publish atomically and the last writer wins; a caller never sees a torn file, and never an error caused only by the other writer. Which writer wins is not defined.
- Multi-process access is not supported.

Known limitations

- Embeddings are not retained. embedding_retrieval(..., return_embedding=True) is accepted for signature compatibility but Document.embedding is always None on retrieved docs — turbovec discards the full-precision vector after quantization.
- JSON-serializable metadata only. Document metadata is stored as JSON in the side-car. Non-JSON-serializable values (custom objects, sets, etc.) fail at save time — the same constraint InMemoryDocumentStore.save_to_disk imposes.
- dim is locked on the first add. Subsequent calls with a different shape raise ValueError. If you need to change dim, construct a fresh store.

Integrations/Langchain (docs/integrations/langchain.md)

LangChain integration

turbovec.langchain.TurboQuantVectorStore is a LangChain VectorStore backed by an IdMapIndex. It implements the same public surface as langchain_core.vectorstores.in_memory.InMemoryVectorStore and can be used as a drop-in replacement wherever the in-memory store is used.

Install

bash

pip install turbovec[langchain]

Basic usage

python

from langchain_huggingface import HuggingFaceEmbeddings
from turbovec.langchain import TurboQuantVectorStore
embeddings = HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name="BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5")
store = TurboQuantVectorStore.from_texts(
    texts=["Document 1...", "Document 2...", "Document 3..."],
    embedding=embeddings,
    bit_width=4,
)retriever = store.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k": 5})

The dimensionality of the underlying quantized index is inferred from the embedding model on the first add_* call — no need to specify it up front.

Construction

python

No-arg: lazy. dim is inferred from the first add.

store = TurboQuantVectorStore(embeddings)
from_texts: same lazy behaviour, plus immediate ingest.

store = TurboQuantVectorStore.from_texts(texts, embeddings, bit_width=4)
Pre-built index: bring your own IdMapIndex (e.g. one loaded from disk).

from turbovec import IdMapIndex
store = TurboQuantVectorStore(embeddings, index=IdMapIndex(1536, 4))

bit_width is one of {2, 3, 4} and is fixed once the index is created.

Similarity modes

The similarity keyword (on the constructor and from_texts/afrom_texts) selects how scores are computed. It is fixed for the lifetime of the store:

- "cosine" (default). Document vectors are L2-normalized before they reach the quantized index and query vectors are normalized before search, so scores are true cosine similarity in [-1, 1] and ranking matches InMemoryVectorStore regardless of embedding magnitude. Zero vectors are kept as-is and score 0 against everything (matching the reference's behavior).
- "dot_product". Vectors are stored and queried raw: scores are raw inner products and ranking is magnitude-aware. The (sim + 1) / 2 relevance mapping still applies for continuity, but it is not clamped to [0, 1] in this mode — an unbounded inner product has no calibrated relevance, so clamping would silently collapse every score >= 1.0 onto exactly 1.0 and defeat score_threshold retrieval. Requesting a relevance-score fn in this mode emits a UserWarning, and out-of-range values reach LangChain's own out-of-range warning. score_threshold retrieval is only meaningful in this mode if your embeddings are unit-normalized upstream.

python

store = TurboQuantVectorStore(embeddings, similarity="dot_product")

The similarity keyword is a turbovec extension: InMemoryVectorStore computes cosine unconditionally, so code written against the reference behaves identically under the default.

Adding with explicit ids

python

store.add_texts(
    texts=["a", "b", "c"],
    ids=["doc-a", "doc-b", "doc-c"],
    metadatas=[{"source": "x"}, {"source": "y"}, {"source": "z"}],
)
add_documents honours per-Document.id, falling back to a UUID per

document if .id is missing — partial ids are not dropped wholesale.

store.add_documents([
    Document(id="explicit", page_content="..."),
    Document(page_content="..."),                  # gets a UUID
])

If an id is already present, add_texts upserts — the existing entry is removed and the new one added with the same id. This matches the typical user expectation that re-indexing a document with the same id should replace it, not duplicate it.

Ids must be str. A None entry in an explicit ids list is replaced with a generated UUID; any other non-str id (including bool/int) raises TypeError — naming the offending id, its type, and its position — before anything is stored. This is stricter than InMemoryVectorStore, which accepts non-str ids and then corrupts them through JSON persistence (an int 2 coexisting with the str "2" collapses to one document across dump/load).

Async equivalents (aadd_texts, aadd_documents) use the embedding model's aembed_documents so they benefit from concurrent embedding generation when the model supports it.

Search

python

By string query (uses the embedding function)

docs = store.similarity_search("what is turbovec?", k=5)
With scores

docs_and_scores = store.similarity_search_with_score("...", k=5)
By raw vector

import numpy as np
qvec = np.random.randn(768).astype(np.float32)
qvec /= np.linalg.norm(qvec)
docs = store.similarity_search_by_vector(qvec.tolist(), k=5)

Under the default similarity="cosine" mode, scores are cosine similarity — higher is better, range [-1, 1] — for embeddings of any magnitude (see Similarity modes).

similarity_search_with_relevance_scores and as_retriever(search_type="similarity_score_threshold") work: the cosine is mapped to [0, 1] via (sim + 1) / 2 (clamped to absorb the tiny overshoot caused by quantization noise). The clamp is cosine-only — see Similarity modes for dot_product.

similarity_search_with_score_by_vector returns (document, score) pairs for a precomputed query vector.

Async equivalents (asimilarity_search, asimilarity_search_with_score, asimilarity_search_by_vector, asimilarity_search_with_score_by_vector, aget_by_ids) are all implemented.

Filters

similarity_search, similarity_search_with_score, and similarity_search_by_vector all accept a filter keyword:

python

Dict — AND of exact equality on Document.metadata.

docs = store.similarity_search(
    "query", k=5, filter={"source": "manual", "version": 2},
)
Callable — predicate over the Document.

docs = store.similarity_search(
    "query", k=5, filter=lambda doc: doc.metadata.get("score", 0) > 0.8,
)

The callable form matches the Callable[[Document], bool] convention used by InMemoryVectorStore, so predicates ported from there work unchanged. The dict form is a turbovec convenience on top of it — InMemoryVectorStore itself takes callables only.

A dict entry requires the key to be present: filter={"source": None} matches documents that store source=None, not documents with no source key at all. To match on absence, use the callable form (lambda doc: "source" not in doc.metadata).

Filters are resolved to an id allowlist before scoring; the kernel only ever inserts allowed documents into the per-query heap. You get up to k results from the filtered set, never fewer than k because the filter happened to exclude the top-scoring candidates.

Document retrieval by id

python

docs = store.get_by_ids(["doc-a", "doc-c"])
Missing ids are silently skipped.

aget_by_ids is also available.

Delete

python

store.delete(["doc-a", "doc-b"])  # missing ids silently skipped, returns None

Delete is O(1) per id. delete(None) is a no-op (matches the InMemoryVectorStore contract).

Save / load

python

store.dump("./my-store")
... later ...

store = TurboQuantVectorStore.load("./my-store", embedding=embeddings)

Writes two files under the given folder path:
- index.tvim — the IdMapIndex payload (see api.md).
- docstore.json — JSON-encoded document text, metadata, and id maps.

The similarity mode is recorded in docstore.json and restored by load. A store folder written before the mode field existed holds raw, unnormalized vectors, so it loads in "dot_product" mode — exactly the scoring it was written under — with no migration needed.

Document metadata must be JSON-serializable — the same constraint InMemoryVectorStore.dump imposes. If the docstore.json side-car is out of sync with its index.tvim (a partial copy, a stale backup, tampering), load raises a ValueError immediately rather than failing later with a KeyError at query time.

dump is atomic with respect to the destination: both files are written to sibling temp files and moved into place, so a failed dump (e.g. non-JSON-serializable metadata) leaves a store previously saved at the same path intact.

The store also supports pickle (e.g. for multiprocessing workers, provided the embedder is picklable) and copy.copy / copy.deepcopy — both copies return a fully independent store (there is no shallow copy that shares the underlying index).

Async

Every read and write method has an a counterpart: aadd_texts, aadd_documents, asimilarity_search, aget_by_ids, adelete, afrom_texts.

They run the index work on a worker thread (asyncio.to_thread), so the event loop stays responsive while a large add or search is in flight — the same contract as VectorStore's own default async implementations, which offload via run_in_executor. The embedding step still awaits the embedder's own aembed_* coroutine.

Cancellation is only partial, and the distinction matters:

- asyncio.wait_for, task.cancel(), or a client disconnect returns control to the awaiting caller promptly — that part now works, where previously the coroutine ran to completion and the timeout never fired.
- It does not decide what happened to the write. If the worker thread had already started, it runs the call to completion — work inside the Rust core is not interruptible at all — and the write commits in full. If the executor was saturated, the call is cancelled before it ever starts and nothing is written. A cancelled write is "outcome unknown": it may have fully committed, or may never have begun. Neither "it happened" nor "it did not happen" is safe to assume; make retries idempotent by passing explicit ids, or read back to find out.
- What is guaranteed: the outcome is all-or-nothing. The store is never left in a torn state.
- Timing out does not make the work go away: the loop's shutdown (asyncio.run on the way out, or loop.shutdown_default_executor()) waits for the worker thread, so a process that exits right after a short timeout can still block for the rest of the in-flight call.

Thread safety

The store is safe for concurrent multi-threaded use:

- Reads run concurrently and scale. similarity_search* and get_by_ids take no lock; the underlying index releases the GIL during scoring, so independent searches from multiple threads overlap and scale.
- Writes serialize. add_texts / add_documents, delete, and dump (and their async counterparts) serialize on a per-store lock.
- A read overlapping a write sees pre- or post-write state — never a torn one. Under heavy concurrent churn a search may transiently return fewer than k results (hits deleted mid-search are skipped).

What the contract does not cover:

- No cross-call atomicity. A caller-side check-then-act sequence (get_by_ids then delete, a count then a search) can interleave with other writers. Batch writes are not atomic with respect to readers: a search overlapping an upsert can briefly see a document id under both its old and new entry.
- dump serializes with writes (so it always snapshots a consistent store); reads may proceed during a dump.
- The embedder is invoked outside the store's lock and must be thread-safe itself.
- Two stores writing to the same path is safe. Concurrent dump calls to one destination from several threads each publish atomically and the last writer wins; a caller never sees a torn file, and never an error caused only by the other writer. Which writer wins is not defined.
- Multi-process access is not supported.

Known limitations

- Max-marginal-relevance search is not supported. max_marginal_relevance_search and its variants raise NotImplementedError with an explanation. MMR requires the full-precision embedding of each candidate to compute pairwise diversity; turbovec discards full-precision vectors after quantization. If you need MMR, keep a parallel store with the raw embeddings and run MMR over that.
- Embeddings are not retained. search returns Document objects with page_content and metadata, but the original embedding is not recoverable.
- JSON-serializable metadata only. Non-JSON-serializable values (custom objects, sets, etc.) fail at save time — same constraint as the in-tree reference store.

Integrations/Llama Index (docs/integrations/llama_index.md)

LlamaIndex integration

turbovec.llama_index.TurboQuantVectorStore is a LlamaIndex BasePydanticVectorStore backed by an IdMapIndex. It implements the same public surface as llama_index.core.vector_stores.simple.SimpleVectorStore and can be used as a drop-in replacement wherever the simple in-memory store is used.

Install

bash

pip install turbovec[llama-index]

Basic usage

python

from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, StorageContext
from turbovec.llama_index import TurboQuantVectorStore
vector_store = TurboQuantVectorStore()
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(vector_store=vector_store)index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents, storage_context=storage_context)
retriever = index.as_retriever(similarity_top_k=5)

The vector dimensionality is inferred from the embedding model on the first add() call.

Construction

python

No-arg: lazy. dim is inferred from the first add.

vector_store = TurboQuantVectorStore()
from_params: same lazy behaviour, plus an explicit bit_width.

vector_store = TurboQuantVectorStore.from_params(bit_width=4)
Pre-built index: bring your own IdMapIndex (e.g. one you loaded from disk).

from turbovec import IdMapIndex
vector_store = TurboQuantVectorStore(index=IdMapIndex(1536, 4))

bit_width is one of {2, 3, 4} and is fixed once the index is created.

Similarity modes

The similarity keyword (on the constructor and from_params) selects how the similarities returned by query are computed. It is fixed for the lifetime of the store:

- "cosine" (default). Node embeddings are L2-normalized at add time and query embeddings at query time, so result.similarities are true cosine similarities in [-1, 1] and ranking matches SimpleVectorStore regardless of embedding magnitude — safe to feed into similarity-cutoff postprocessors. Zero vectors are kept as-is and score 0 against everything.
- "dot_product". Vectors are stored and queried raw: result.similarities are raw inner products and ranking is magnitude-aware.

python

vector_store = TurboQuantVectorStore(similarity="dot_product")

The similarity keyword is a turbovec extension: SimpleVectorStore computes cosine unconditionally, so code written against the reference behaves identically under the default.

The two `delete` signatures

LlamaIndex's vector-store protocol has two distinct delete entry points:

`delete(ref_doc_id: str)` — remove an entire source document

Removes every node whose ref_doc_id matches. Use this when you want to delete a whole parent document and its chunks in one call.

python

vector_store.delete("my-source-document-123")

Missing ref_doc_ids are silently ignored.

`delete_nodes(node_ids, filters)` — remove specific chunks

Removes nodes matching either node_ids, filters, or both (intersected). Missing node_ids are silently ignored.

python

By node_id

vector_store.delete_nodes(node_ids=["abc-123", "def-456"])
By metadata filter

from llama_index.core.vector_stores.types import (
    MetadataFilter, MetadataFilters, FilterOperator,
)
filters = MetadataFilters(
    filters=[MetadataFilter(key="tier", value="archived", operator=FilterOperator.EQ)],
)
vector_store.delete_nodes(filters=filters)
Both: intersect — delete only nodes in this list that ALSO match the filter

vector_store.delete_nodes(node_ids=["abc-123"], filters=filters)

`clear()` — drop everything

python

vector_store.clear()

Resets the store while preserving the configured bit_width. The cleared store is immediately usable for new adds; dim is inferred again from the next batch.

Query

LlamaIndex calls query(VectorStoreQuery) internally. If you've gone through VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(...), you won't call this directly — the retriever does. For direct use:

python

from llama_index.core.vector_stores.types import VectorStoreQuery
result = vector_store.query(VectorStoreQuery(
    query_embedding=[...],
    similarity_top_k=5,
))
result.nodes, result.similarities, result.ids

query_embedding is required. turbovec doesn't embed query text itself; the calling component (retriever / query engine) is responsible for that.

Filtered query

VectorStoreQuery accepts filters, node_ids, and doc_ids. All three intersect when more than one is supplied:

python

from llama_index.core.vector_stores.types import (
    MetadataFilter, MetadataFilters, FilterCondition, FilterOperator,
    VectorStoreQuery,
)
filters = MetadataFilters(
    filters=[
        MetadataFilter(key="tier", value="pro", operator=FilterOperator.EQ),
        MetadataFilter(key="year", value=2024, operator=FilterOperator.GTE),
    ],
    condition=FilterCondition.AND,
)result = vector_store.query(VectorStoreQuery(
    query_embedding=[...],
    similarity_top_k=5,
    filters=filters,
    node_ids=["chunk-1", "chunk-2", "chunk-3"],   # restrict to these chunks
    doc_ids=["src-doc-42"],                        # restrict to chunks of this source doc
))

Supported operators on MetadataFilter: EQ, NE, GT, LT, GTE, LTE, IN, NIN, TEXT_MATCH, TEXT_MATCH_INSENSITIVE, CONTAINS, ANY, ALL, IS_EMPTY. Conditions: AND, OR, NOT. Nested MetadataFilters work.

Filter semantics match SimpleVectorStore's reference implementation — notably, every operator except IS_EMPTY returns False when the filter key is missing from the document's metadata, and TEXT_MATCH is case-insensitive (it lowercases both sides, as TEXT_MATCH_INSENSITIVE does).

Filters are resolved to a handle allowlist before scoring. Selective filters return up to similarity_top_k matches from the filtered set; you never get fewer just because the filter happened to exclude the top-scoring candidates.

An empty node_ids (or doc_ids) list restricts nothing — it behaves like omitting the argument. This follows the framework's own calling convention: VectorStoreIndex.as_retriever passes node_ids=list(index_struct.nodes_dict.values()), and for a stores_text=True store like this one that list is always empty — it means "unrestricted", and treating it as match-nothing would make every retriever query return zero results. get_nodes / delete_nodes are different: there node_ids is the selection, so an explicit empty list selects nothing.

Get nodes

python

nodes = vector_store.get_nodes(node_ids=["chunk-1", "chunk-2"])
nodes = vector_store.get_nodes(filters=filters)
nodes = vector_store.get_nodes(node_ids=["chunk-1", "chunk-2"], filters=filters)  # intersect

Returns a List[BaseNode] reconstructed from the side-car. Missing node_ids are silently skipped. node_ids is the explicit selection: an empty list selects nothing and returns [] (same for delete_nodes, where an empty list is a no-op).

Upsert semantics

Calling add() with a node whose node_id already exists replaces the existing entry. Matches LlamaIndex user expectation when re-indexing the same chunks.

A node_id repeated within a single add() batch raises ValueError — deduplicate before calling. (This differs from the LangChain and Haystack stores, which silently keep the last occurrence; here it's a hard error so an accidental duplicate doesn't quietly drop a node.)

python

node = TextNode(text="v1", embedding=[...])
vector_store.add([node])
Same node_id, different text/embedding → replaces.

updated = TextNode(text="v2", id_=node.node_id, embedding=[...])
vector_store.add([updated])
assert len(vector_store._index) == 1

Async

Every public method has an async counterpart, suitable for use in LlamaIndex's async retriever / query-engine paths:

python

await vector_store.async_add(nodes)
result = await vector_store.aquery(VectorStoreQuery(...))
fetched = await vector_store.aget_nodes(node_ids=[...])
await vector_store.adelete("ref-doc-id")
await vector_store.adelete_nodes(node_ids=[...])
await vector_store.aclear()

They run the index work on a worker thread (asyncio.to_thread), so the event loop stays responsive while a large add or query is in flight. BasePydanticVectorStore's defaults call straight into the sync body, which would block the loop for the operation's full duration.

Cancellation is only partial, and the distinction matters:

- asyncio.wait_for, task.cancel(), or a client disconnect returns control to the awaiting caller promptly — that part now works, where previously the coroutine ran to completion and the timeout never fired.
- It does not decide what happened to the add. If the worker thread had already started, it runs the call to completion — work inside the Rust core is not interruptible at all — and the add commits in full. If the executor was saturated, the call is cancelled before it ever starts and nothing is added. A cancelled async_add is "outcome unknown": it may have fully committed, or may never have begun. Re-adding the same node_id is an overwrite, so retrying is safe either way.
- What is guaranteed: the outcome is all-or-nothing. The store is never left in a torn state.
- Timing out does not make the work go away: the loop's shutdown (asyncio.run on the way out, or loop.shutdown_default_executor()) waits for the worker thread, so a process that exits right after a short timeout can still block for the rest of the in-flight call.

Persist / load

Direct (file-stem) interface

python

vector_store.persist("./store/vectors.json")
... later ...

vector_store = TurboQuantVectorStore.from_persist_path("./store/vectors.json")

persist_path is treated as a path stem — the binary index and JSON side-car are written next to each other as {stem}.tvim and {stem}.nodes.json. The extension on persist_path (e.g. .json, as LlamaIndex's StorageContext default uses) is replaced. Node metadata must be JSON-serializable. If the {stem}.nodes.json side-car is out of sync with its {stem}.tvim index (a partial copy, a stale backup, tampering), from_persist_path raises a ValueError immediately rather than failing later with a KeyError at query time.

persist is atomic with respect to the destination: both files are written to sibling temp files and moved into place, so a failed persist (e.g. non-JSON-serializable metadata) leaves a store previously persisted at the same stem intact.

The similarity mode is recorded in {stem}.nodes.json and restored by from_persist_path. A store persisted before the mode field existed holds raw, unnormalized vectors, so it loads in "dot_product" mode — exactly the scoring it was written under — with no migration needed.

Via `StorageContext`

The store works with StorageContext.from_defaults(persist_dir=...) the same way SimpleVectorStore does:

python

Persist

storage_context.persist(persist_dir="./store")
Load

vector_store = TurboQuantVectorStore.from_persist_dir(persist_dir="./store")
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(
    vector_store=vector_store,
    persist_dir="./store",
)

from_persist_dir(persist_dir, namespace="default", fs=None) constructs the namespaced filename ({persist_dir}/{namespace}__vector_store.json) and delegates to from_persist_path. Multiple namespaced stores can share a persist directory — including dotted namespaces (v1.2, v1.3), which map to distinct file pairs (v1.2__vector_store.tvim / v1.2__vector_store.nodes.json, and so on). namespace names a store within persist_dir, so it must be non-empty and must not contain path separators, .., or : (a Windows drive-relative name like C:foo would escape persist_dir); such a value raises ValueError. Any other string (alphanumerics, dash, underscore, dots) is accepted.

A store persisted by an older turbovec under a dotted namespace sits on disk under a truncated filename (v1.tvim for namespace v1.2). Loading finds it via a legacy-filename fallback — used only when the correct filename is absent — and the next persist writes the correct filenames.

Config-only round-trip

python

config = vector_store.to_dict()                # {"bit_width": 4, "dim": 1536, "similarity": "cosine"}
fresh = TurboQuantVectorStore.from_dict(config)                   # empty store with the same config

to_dict / from_dict serialize only the store's configuration. Node data round-trips through persist / from_persist_path.

The store also supports pickle with full data fidelity (e.g. for multiprocessing workers) and copy.copy / copy.deepcopy — both copies return a fully independent store (there is no shallow copy that shares the underlying index).

Thread safety

The store is safe for concurrent multi-threaded use:

- Reads run concurrently and scale. query and get_nodes take no lock; the underlying index releases the GIL during scoring, so independent queries from multiple threads overlap and scale.
- Writes serialize. add, delete, delete_nodes, clear, and persist serialize on a per-store lock. The async_add / a* variants delegate to the same locked bodies, so concurrent adds issue unique handles — no batch is ever rejected or lost to a handle collision.
- A read overlapping a write sees pre- or post-write state — never a torn one. Under heavy concurrent churn a query may transiently return fewer than similarity_top_k results (hits deleted mid-query are skipped).

What the contract does not cover:

- No cross-call atomicity. A caller-side check-then-act sequence (get_nodes then delete_nodes) can interleave with other writers. Batch writes are not atomic with respect to readers: a query overlapping a re-add of an existing node_id can briefly see that id under both its old and new entry.
- persist serializes with writes (so it always snapshots a consistent store); reads may proceed during a persist.
- Two stores writing to the same path is safe. Concurrent persist calls to one destination from several threads each publish atomically and the last writer wins; a caller never sees a torn file, and never an error caused only by the other writer. Which writer wins is not defined.
- Multi-process access is not supported.

Known limitations

- MMR is not supported. Max-marginal-relevance retrieval requires the full-precision embedding of each candidate to compute pairwise diversity; turbovec discards full-precision vectors after quantization.
- get(text_id) raises rather than returning a vector — same reason. The full-precision embedding is not recoverable.
- fsspec filesystems are not supported. persist, from_persist_path, and from_persist_dir accept a local path. Pass fs=None (the default).
- JSON-serializable metadata only. Node metadata is stored as JSON in the side-car. Non-JSON-serializable values fail at persist time — same constraint as SimpleVectorStore.persist.
- stores_text = True. Unlike SimpleVectorStore, we keep node text in the side-car so query results return populated TextNodes without depending on a separate docstore. If you're swapping this in for SimpleVectorStore and your pipeline expects text to live elsewhere, the difference is harmless — the framework treats stores_text as informational.

Summary (plain English)

Summarize the previous message. Use this to restate something that was too
long or too technical.

Arguments (combinable):

- all — summarize everything in view: the whole conversation so far, or the
whole issue, pull request, or diff this is attached to.
- w N — cap the summary at roughly N words.
- l N — write the summary as N lines.
- p N — write the summary as N paragraphs.

Style:

- Write flowing prose, one or two short paragraphs by default.
- Use plain English a non-expert can follow. Cover what the thing does and why
it matters.
- Stay direct and matter-of-fact.
- Describe turbovec on its own terms.
- Keep every fact from the source, including its caveats, numbers, and
uncertainty. Simplify the language and preserve the substance.

# Require the AVX2 kernels to actually execute rather than be

# absence of coverage is invisible. Every GitHub-hosted x86 runner
# has AVX2, so this is free; on macos-14 (arm64) the gate compiles
# to a no-op.
#
# AVX-512 is deliberately NOT listed: GitHub-hosted runners are not

# Standalone cargo project that path-deps turbovec — exercises the

# block-Hadamard rotation, #206 — on main, not yet in a tagged

# debug_assert! was invisible infrastructure until now: ci.yml and
# release-crates.yml both ran --release only, so all 15 of the
# debug_assert!s in turbovec/src — the block-alignment and buffer-length
# invariants guarding the SIMD rotation, pack and search kernels — never
# executed in CI (#306). Debug also removes the release build's overflow
# elision, so integer overflow in index arithmetic panics here instead of
# wrapping silently.
#
# Ubuntu only, and one suite short of the full set. Measured on an M-series
# host with a warm target dir, every debug test binary runs in single-digit
# to low-tens of seconds — 115s for all nineteen of them combined — with one
# exception: io_v6 alone did not finish inside 420s. Every v5/v6 load
# recomputes the Lloyd-Max codebook (io.rs validate_codebook), that solve
# is unmemoized (#357/#368) and it is orders of magnitude slower
# unoptimized, so the suite that does the most loads dominates everything.
# It contains no debug_assert!-carrying code of its own — the asserts live
# in pack.rs, rotation.rs, search.rs, id_map.rs and lib.rs — so excluding it
# costs no assert coverage and keeps this leg at ~2 minutes of test time.
# bytes_io, io_hardening, io_versioning and from_parts all still
# exercise io.rs here, so the persistence path is not left unchecked.
#
# What the exclusion does cost, and it is worth naming: debug's integer
# overflow checking on the v6 load path specifically, which is the most
# offset-arithmetic-heavy code in the crate. The other io suites cover
# io.rs broadly but not v6's own arithmetic. Drop the exclusion if the
# codebook solve is ever memoized (#357/#368) — that is the only thing
# making this suite unaffordable in debug.
#
# The target list is computed by excluding io_v6 rather than by listing
# the suites to include, so a new file in turbovec/tests is picked up
# automatically instead of being silently skipped.

# cargo fmt --check is deliberately NOT part of this job. On unmodified
# origin/main, rustfmt 1.8.0-stable reports 309 diff hunks across 33
# files — pre-existing formatting drift, not anything this PR introduced.
# Adding the check would fail every PR from the moment it merged, and
# reformatting the tree to fix that would bury a 33-file mechanical diff
# inside a CI change and rewrite the blame on every hot file in the crate.
# It belongs in its own PR, alongside a pinned rustfmt version so the drift
# cannot silently recur.
#
# No workflow ran clippy at all (#306). It cannot be turned on wholesale:
# the tree carries 96 findings across the 20 classes allow-listed below, so
# -D warnings alone would fail every PR on day one. Fixing them is a
# separate change — this PR adds no production edits — so those classes are
# allow-listed by name and everything else is denied. That makes it a
# ratchet on lint classes: a class not already in the tree fails the
# build, which is where the value is (all of clippy::correctness bar
# redundant_locals is clean).
#
# Be clear about what it does NOT do: a new instance of an
# already-allowed class passes silently. Per-class counts are therefore
# deliberately not recorded here — they would rot with nothing checking
# them. The allow-list is a debt list; deleting a line and fixing the
# findings behind it is a good standalone PR, and nothing should join it
# without a note saying why.
#
# TOOLCHAIN IS PINNED, and it has to be. A name-based allow-list against a
# floating toolchain goes red on any rustc release that adds or widens a
# lint — this leg did exactly that, calibrated on 1.94 and red on the
# runner's 1.97. Bumping RUST_CLIPPY_VERSION is now a deliberate act that
# comes with recalibrating the list, in the same PR, where it is reviewable.
#
# Recalibrating: the list MUST be regenerated against BOTH targets, not
# just the host. Three of the findings below (needless_return x2,
# assertions_on_constants) live inside #[cfg(target_arch = "x86_64")]
# blocks and do not compile at all on an arm64 dev machine, which is
# precisely how the 1.94-calibrated list passed locally and failed on CI.
# From any host:
#
# rustup toolchain install 1.97.0 --profile minimal --component clippy
# rustup +1.97.0 target add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
# cargo +1.97.0 clippy --target <each> \
# --workspace --all-targets --locked --message-format=json
#
# and count distinct (lint, file:line) pairs. Note the totals differ per
# target — the same lint can count 13, 18 or 27 depending on target and on
# where -D warnings aborts — which is the other reason no count table is

.Github/Workflows/Mutants.Yml (.github/workflows/mutants.yml)

Issue #367 audited fifteen fix commits and found six that shipped a test

which passes on the pre-fix code — reverting the fix leaves the suite

green. Nothing checks whether a test actually discriminates. Mutation

testing is the mechanism that does: it edits the code under test and fails

if no test notices.

It cannot be run wholesale here. Measured on this repo:

cargo mutants --list -p turbovec -> 7020 mutants

unmutated baseline -> 10s build + 108s test

one mutant (search.rs, warm target dir) -> 13s build + 134s test

~147s per mutant serialized, so a full run is roughly 287 CPU-hours — about

three days of wall clock on an 8-core host at -j4, and far worse on a

GitHub runner. That is not a weekly job either; it would need ~50 sharded

six-hour runners every week to say something about code nobody touched.

So this leg is scoped to the diff, which is also where the value is: #367's

complaint is about tests written for a specific fix. A real recent fix

commit (3f474e5, the #335 query-scale fix, 183 diff lines) generates 9

in-diff mutants and the whole leg — baseline plus all 9 — took 4m28s at

-j4. It also reported one MISSED mutant in that commit's own new code, so

the mechanism demonstrably catches the thing #367 is about.

Own workflow, and `labeled`/`edited` in the trigger, because the escape

hatch is a label or a line in the PR body and it has to be able to

re-trigger without rebuilding the whole of ci.yml.

.Github/Workflows/Pr Review.Yml (.github/workflows/pr-review.yml)

Automated PR review via Anthropic's `code-review` plugin: four parallel

finder agents (2x CLAUDE.md compliance, 2x bug/logic), then one validation

subagent per candidate issue. Only validated issues get posted as inline

comments — unvalidated findings are dropped rather than posted.

BLOCKING. Every run ends by posting an `Agent code review` commit status on

the PR head SHA carrying a go/no-go verdict, and that context is required by

branch protection: no-go means the merge button stays disabled. This reverses

the workflow's original advisory stance — ci.yml is no longer the only hard

gate.

The gate fails closed. A run that errors, posts nothing, or records no

verdict is a no-go, because none of those are the same as a clean review

(#451: four silent-but-green runs in one day, one of which let a PR merge

with its head unreviewed).

Statuses are per-commit, so a new push lands on a SHA with no `Agent code`

`review` status and the merge is blocked until the review is re-run on it.

That is deliberate, and it is why this still does NOT fire on `synchronize`:

auto-reviewing every push multiplies subscription load, and load correlates

with the instant-rejection failures seen in claude.yml. The cost of that

choice is one manual re-trigger per push — comment `/review` to clear it.

`/review` is distinct from claude.yml's `@q-turbovec-bot` so the two

workflows never double-fire on the same comment.

One review per PR at a time; a queued run waits rather than racing. Load

bearing for the gate too: concurrent runs on one PR would post competing

`Agent code review` statuses to the same SHA, last writer winning arbitrarily.

review-stamp.yml uses a separate group of its own, so a push never waits

behind a 45-minute review before marking its commit unreviewed.

# Auto path: non-draft PRs whose head branch lives in this repo. Pushing a
# branch here already requires write access, so this is collaborators-only
# in practice, not a widening of claude.yml's actor guard.
#
# Mention path: /review from someone with a write-level association, on a
# comment that belongs to a PR (issue_comment fires for issues too). The
# fork check happens in the guard step below, because issue_comment
# payloads carry no head-repo information.
#
# The reviewer account is excluded from the mention path by actor id
# (turbovec-bot = 309383466, pinned numerically for the same reason
# claude.yml does it: logins can be renamed or reclaimed). Its comments
# are PAT-authored, so they DO fire issue_comment. The verdict comment
# this job posts is written with GITHUB_TOKEN precisely so it cannot fire
# issue_comment at all: GitHub does not create workflow runs from
# GITHUB_TOKEN events. That is the whole of the protection for that
# comment — its body does spell /review literally, and the trigger is a
# substring match, so switching that step to CLAUDE_BOT_TOKEN would make
# it self-triggering. Note also that the actor-id guard above is not a
# backstop there: it pins the PAT account, while that comment is authored
# by github-actions[bot]. Keep the token as it is.

When validating a candidate issue you MAY build and run the test suite (cargo build / cargo test -p turbovec) to confirm or refute it — prefer executed evidence over reasoning about the diff. Never run linters or formatters (clippy, rustfmt, or any lint task): CI runs those separately, and anything a linter would catch must not be reported here. Post findings inline, and post NO summary comment when you find nothing — a clean review should leave the pull request silent, because the merge check already reports that it passed. Finally, the last line of your final message MUST be exactly: REVIEW_VERDICT: {\"verdict\": \"GO\" or \"NO-GO\", \"summary\": \"one sentence under 100 characters\"}. Use NO-GO if you posted any finding you validated as a real defect, GO only if you found nothing worth blocking on. That line is the merge gate: without it the merge is blocked, so emit it even when the review found nothing. It belongs in your final message only — never inside a comment you post to the pull request, which is read by people rather than by the gate. Every agent or test you launch reports back into this same session: when you are waiting on one, keep waiting inside your turn (poll, or block on the task) until its result is in hand and folded into the verdict — the REVIEW_VERDICT line is how your turn ends, and a message that ends any other way blocks the merge exactly as if the review had never run."

.Github/Workflows/Review Stamp.Yml (.github/workflows/review-stamp.yml)

Marks a pushed commit as unreviewed, and nothing else.

A commit nobody has reviewed must read as blocked, not as pending. Branch

protection already refuses to merge a SHA carrying no `Agent code review`

status, but GitHub renders a missing required check as "Expected — waiting

for status to be reported", which looks like something still in flight

rather than a decision that has been made. This stamps the verdict red the

moment an unreviewed commit appears, so "not reviewed" and "reviewed and

rejected" look the same to anyone glancing at the PR — both block.

It deliberately does NOT start a review: reviewing every push multiplies

subscription load, which is the trade pr-review.yml has already made.

Clearing the red is one `/review` comment.

This lives apart from pr-review.yml on purpose (#459). Both jobs used to

share that file, and because a `pull_request` event triggers the whole

workflow, GitHub materialised a check run for the reviewer too and reported

it as "PR Review / review — Skipped" on every push. Nothing was wrong, but

it reads like something went wrong, and it caused real confusion about

whether a review had happened. One file, one job, one row.

string, which is a required status check in branch protection. It has to

stay byte-identical to the one pr-review.yml publishes — a typo here does

not fail loudly, it silently blocks every PR behind a check nothing posts.

.Github/Workflows/Security Audit.Yml (.github/workflows/security-audit.yml)

Static security audit of the GitHub Actions workflows themselves (zizmor):

unpinned actions, over-broad token permissions, template-injection sinks,

credential-persisting checkouts, cache poisoning, and similar CI/CD supply-

chain footguns. Runs on any workflow change and weekly.

Source-code static analysis (CodeQL) is handled separately via GitHub's

CodeQL "default setup" (Settings → Security → Code scanning), which

auto-manages its own pinned workflow and covers Python out of the box —

see this PR's description for the rationale.

# Pinned, for the same reason actions here are pinned by SHA: the
# step below is a hard gate, so an upstream release shipping a new

# commit having changed anything — every pull request that touches

# the triggers above). Bump this deliberately and fix whatever the

# --offline keeps the audit hermetic (no GitHub API calls, no token
# needed).
#
# Gating (no continue-on-error): every workflow now complies with the
# low-and-above lints — notably artipacked, which is what a checkout
# that omits persist-credentials: false trips — so a new finding at
# those severities is a real regression and must fail the build instead
# of being buried in the logs of a green run.
#
# --min-severity low excludes exactly one of zizmor's four severity
# tiers — informational, low, medium, high — namely informational.
# Everything from low upwards still gates. Severity is not confidence:
# --min-confidence is a separate flag on a separate axis, and this
# threshold says nothing about it. artipacked is reported as *medium
# severity* with audit confidence → Low, and it gates; the filter here
# would not have spared it.
#
# Be aware of the cost: the excluded findings are filtered out entirely,
# not merely un-gated. They do not appear in the log — they collapse into
# the trailing (N ignored, ...) count, so nothing draws attention to
# them. The repo has three today, all template-injection on
# ${{ steps.msrv.outputs.version }} in ci.yml: a value produced by an
# earlier step in the same workflow rather than by anything an attacker
# can reach, which is why they are tolerable. To see them, drop the flag
# or run --min-severity informational locally.
#
# A severity floor is the blunt instrument here, chosen because it is
# contained. The sharper fix is an inline # zizmor: ignore[...], which
# documents each exemption where it applies and lets every tier gate; it
# was left out only to keep this change scoped to the workflows it is
# about. Prefer that if the informational tier ever needs to be visible
# again — but note it goes on the two run: keys, ci.yml:256 and :259,
# so two comments cover all three findings. Not on 260/261: those are
# inside a run: | block scalar, where a trailing #... is shell text
# rather than a YAML comment, so zizmor never sees it. The shell then
# discards it as a comment, so the misplacement is silent: no error,
# the exemption simply does not take.
#
# Do not reintroduce continue-on-error to dodge a low/medium/high
# finding, and do not raise this threshold to silence one; fix it.

.Github/Workflows/Summarize Command.Yml (.github/workflows/summarize-command.yml)

Instant counterpart to eyes-summary.yml: commenting `/s` on an issue, or

on a pull request (conversation or inline review comment), posts a

plain-English summary within seconds, because comments — unlike

reactions, which GitHub emits no event for — fire a webhook the moment

they're created.

The command mirrors the local `/s` skill argument for argument: bare `/s`

summarizes the message above it, `/s all` the whole issue or pull request,

and `w N` / `l N` / `p N` set the length. `/summary` stays accepted as an

alias for the old spelling.

`/s` is distinct from claude.yml's `@tq-bot` and pr-review.yml's

`/review`, so no two workflows fire on one comment.

flowing prose, no headers or bullets, no hype, every fact and
caveat from the source preserved.

Post the summary with gh pr comment N --body ... on a pull

.Github/Workflows/Supply Chain.Yml (.github/workflows/supply-chain.yml)

Dependency-vulnerability scanning for both language surfaces:

- cargo-deny → RustSec advisories + supply-chain hygiene for the crate

- pip-audit → known-vuln scan for the Python package's dependencies

Runs when a dependency manifest changes, and weekly to catch advisories

disclosed against dependencies that haven't otherwise moved.
