Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Limit 0.5.0 to constrained legacy use; evaluate a maintained release for new deployments.

Why
Historical tests demonstrate working HNSW builds, but construction costs are high and later performance and correctness improvements are absent.
Next
Benchmark representative data, filtered-query recall, concurrent writes, build memory and recovery behavior before deployment.

Constraints

Blockers

  • HNSW construction can be slow and resource intensive.
  • Approximate recall and planner behavior require workload-specific testing.
  • Later performance improvements and correctness checks are absent.
  • The historical benchmarks do not establish sustained operational reliability.
