fix(engine): scalar index coverage + filter literal coercion (query latency) (#216) * fix(engine): lower date/datetime filter literals as typed Arrow scalars `literal_to_expr` lowered `Date`/`DateTime` query literals as Utf8 strings, relying on DataFusion implicit casts. Against a physical `Date32`/`Date64` column that can coerce the column side (`CAST(col AS Utf8)`), which defeats a scalar BTREE and degrades the scan to a full filtered read. Lower to typed `Date32`/`Date64` scalars instead (reusing the loader's `parse_date32_literal`/`parse_date64_literal`, already used by the in-memory comparison arm), so the predicate stays a direct column comparison and the index is used. Malformed literals fall back to the Utf8 string so pushdown behavior never regresses. Tests: unit goldens asserting the lowered literal is typed (red before, green after) + inline-binding pushdown equality in literal_filters confirming the epoch conversion selects the right rows. * fix(engine): build scalar BTREE for enum and orderable-scalar @index columns `build_indices_on_dataset_for_catalog` only handled `String` (-> FTS) and `Vector` (-> vector). Enums are physically `String`, so an enum `@index` column (e.g. `status`) got an FTS inverted index, which Lance never consults for `=`; and `DateTime`/`Date`/numeric/`Bool` `@index` columns fell through and built nothing. Both meant equality/range filters degraded to full scans with `indices_loaded=0`. Dispatch index kind by property type via a shared `node_prop_index_kind`: enum + orderable scalar -> BTREE, free-text String -> FTS, Vector -> vector, list/Blob -> none. The helper is shared by the builder and `needs_index_work_node` so they cannot drift — the latter decides recovery- sidecar pinning, and under-reporting would leave a HEAD-advancing index build uncovered (invariant 5). Tests: scalar_indexes.rs asserts enum/DateTime/numeric @index columns report `IndexCoverage::Indexed` while free-text String/un-annotated columns stay `Degraded` (negative control). Docs: docs/user/indexes.md. * feat(engine): reindex in optimize to keep index coverage current A scalar/FTS/vector index only covers the fragments it was built over. Rows appended after the build (e.g. `ingest --mode merge`, whose commit does not rebuild an existing index) are scanned unindexed, and `compact_files` rewrites fragments out of coverage. Nothing folded them back in, so coverage decayed as the graph grew — even the id/src/dst BTREEs that power traversal. `optimize_one_table` now runs Lance `optimize_indices` after `compact_files` (incremental merge, not retrain — the same compact->optimize_indices sequence LanceDB's `optimize()` uses) and enters the publish path on compaction work OR stale index coverage (new `TableStore::has_unindexed_fragments`, reusing the fragment_bitmap logic). `optimize_indices` is a committing call with no uncommitted variant in lance-6.0.1, so it is an inline-commit residual covered by the existing `SidecarKind::Optimize` recovery sidecar spanning both ops. Blob-bearing tables are still skipped (the Lance blob-compaction bug is compaction-specific; reindex-for-blob deferred as a noted follow-up). Tests: maintenance.rs asserts an appended fragment is uncovered before and covered after optimize, and idempotency holds (second pass is a no-op). lance_surface_guards pins the `optimize_indices` signature and its incremental- coverage behavior. The existing optimize Phase-B recovery failpoint now also exercises a crash after reindex. Docs: maintenance.md, writes.md, invariants.md, lance.md, AGENTS.md. * fix(engine): coerce pushdown filter literals to the column type Filter literals were pushed to Lance in their natural Arrow type (every integer Int64, every float Float64). Against a narrower indexed column DataFusion widens to the literal's type and casts the COLUMN (`CAST(n32 AS Int64)`), which defeats the scalar BTREE and degrades to a full filtered read. A physical-plan probe confirms it: an Int32 column filtered by an i32 literal uses `ScalarIndexQuery`; by an i64 literal it does not. Thread the scan's `arrow_schema` through `build_lance_filter_expr` -> `ir_filter_to_expr` and coerce each literal operand to the opposite column's exact Arrow type, reusing `projection::literal_to_array` + `arrow_cast` (the same path the in-memory arm uses, so the two arms agree). Coercion never demotes a filter to None: on failure it falls back to the natural literal, because a node scan has no in-memory fallback for inline filters. Supersedes the date-specific change in e4ef67b (PR1): the probe shows dates were never index-defeated — temporal coercion casts the LITERAL, not the column — so PR1's index-use rationale was wrong though harmless. The generic coercion subsumes it; `literal_to_expr`'s date arms revert to the natural Utf8 fallback, and its unit tests now assert the live coerced path. Tests: surface guard `scalar_index_use_requires_matched_literal_type` pins the substrate behavior (matched -> index, widened -> column-cast full scan); unit tests cover Int32/UInt32/Float32 coercion, range op, reversed operand order, and the natural fallback; `literal_filters` adds an I32 column with equality + range and an F32 pushdown case. * fix(engine): only coerce filter literals when the cast is lossless The literal coercion in f064121 narrowed unconditionally. typecheck permits numeric cross-type comparisons (`types_compatible`), so an out-of-domain literal reaches `literal_to_typed_expr` and casts lossily: a fractional float vs an integer column truncates (`{ count: 2.7 }` -> `count = 2`, wrongly matching the count=2 row) and an out-of-range integer overflows to null (`count < 3e9` on I32 -> `count < NULL` -> empty). Both silently change results, and a node scan has no in-memory fallback for inline filters. Add a lossless guard for integer targets: round-trip the cast back to the natural type and, on mismatch, return None so the caller keeps the natural literal (correct via DataFusion coercion; the index is just unused for that out-of-domain predicate). Float targets stay coerced -- narrowing F64 -> F32 is the column's own precision domain, not a value error. Resolves the two valid review findings on PR #216 (Codex float truncation, Greptile out-of-range). Tests: unit cases for fractional/out-of-range fallback vs whole-float/in-range coerce vs F32 exemption; e2e `{ count: 2.7 }` returns no rows.

The per-property index a column gets is decided by `node_prop_index_kind` (shared
by the builder and the sidecar-pinning coverage check so they cannot drift):
enums and orderable scalars → BTREE, free-text Strings → FTS, `Vector` → vector,
list/`Blob` columns → none.

docs(user): coherence cleanup aligned with 0.7.1 (#293) * docs(cli): fix cluster apply semantics — converges graphs+schema, not config-only `cluster apply` creates graphs, applies schema updates (soft drops), writes stored-query/policy catalog resources, and executes approved graph deletes in one ordered run. Both the user docs and the shipped CLI help text still described it as a "Stage 3A" config-only (query/policy) subset that defers graph/schema changes "to a later stage" — wrong since the graph/schema executor landed. - docs/user/cli/reference.md: rewrite the cluster paragraph to describe apply's actual converge behavior; keep deferred for the genuinely-unsupported case (standalone schema deletes); drop the stale "Stage 3A" / "reserved for later stages" framing. - crates/omnigraph-cli/src/cli.rs: fix the `cluster apply` help text to match. Part of the docs/user coherence cleanup (docs/dev/docs-issues.md, P1). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FQ1Hf4eXLsJmeLUkTYBEw7 * docs(server): align stored-query exposure with cluster-only behavior server.md documented a per-query expose knob ("`mcp.expose` defaults to true; set `mcp: { expose: false }` to hide from the catalog") that does not exist in the only deployment mode. Cluster-only serving lists every stored query: the cluster registry has no expose field (`QueryConfig { file }`) and the boot bridge hardcodes `expose: true` for all cluster queries (omnigraph-server settings), and there is no GQ-level expose annotation. This contradicted clusters/config.md, which already states the correct behavior. Replace the knob bullet with the cluster truth (every applied query is listed; per-query exposure may become a Cedar-policy decision later) and drop the "`mcp.expose` stored queries" phrasing from the catalog description, the endpoint table, and the intro. The `mcp_expose` JSON catalog field is unchanged (still emitted, always true in cluster mode). Part of the docs/user coherence cleanup (docs/dev/docs-issues.md, P1).

But that route is 409-disabled for cluster-backed serving (already documented in server.md), and cluster-managed graphs evolve only through `cluster apply` with soft drops — there is no cluster HTTP data-loss path. Scope the data-loss flag to the direct/embedded path (`schema apply --store`, SDK), and add a paragraph: cluster-managed graphs use `cluster apply` (soft drops only); HTTP `POST /schema/apply` is 409 for cluster serving; direct apply against a cluster-managed path is refused.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FQ1Hf4eXLsJmeLUkTYBEw7 * docs(server): document /load as canonical in limits + admission prose The endpoint table already listed both `/load` (canonical) and `/ingest` (deprecated alias) at 32 MB, but the admission-control, body-limit, rate-limit, and manifest-conflict prose named only `/ingest` — and the constants page called the limit "Ingest body limit". Add `/load` alongside (or ahead of) `/ingest` everywhere, and rename the constant to "Load (bulk-write) body limit" noting the `/ingest` alias shares it.

Replace it with a pointer to the keyed-credential model documented above (`OMNIGRAPH_TOKEN_<NAME>` → `~/.omnigraph/credentials` → `OMNIGRAPH_BEARER_TOKEN`). Also fix the `version` row: the CLI prints 0.7.x, not 0.3.x. Part of the docs/user coherence cleanup (docs/dev/docs-issues.md, P2 + smaller). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FQ1Hf4eXLsJmeLUkTYBEw7 * docs: route-spelling note + drop stale stage/deferred crumbs - server.md: add a one-line note that the per-graph subsections name routes in shorthand (`GET /queries`, `POST /query`, `POST /mutate`, `POST /queries/{name}`) but every one is served under `/graphs/{id}/…` — the endpoint table is already fully-qualified. - clusters/config.md: redefine the `deferred` plan disposition as an unsupported change (e.g. a standalone schema delete) instead of "graph/schema change, later phase" (graph creates and schema updates apply now); drop the "Stage 2C" label from the lock-recovery note. - search/indexes.md: `ingest --mode merge` → canonical `load --mode merge`.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FQ1Hf4eXLsJmeLUkTYBEw7 * docs(dev): track user-docs coherence ledger; mark 2026-06-20 findings resolved Convert the scratch review notes into a tracked living ledger and link it from the dev index. All ten findings from the 2026-06-20 docs/user sweep are validated and fixed in this branch (P1 cluster-apply semantics + stored-query exposure; P2 schema-apply paths, /load canonical, bearer-token keys, route shorthand; plus version/ingest/deferred/stage crumbs). The verification grep checklist is retained for future audits. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FQ1Hf4eXLsJmeLUkTYBEw7 * docs(api): align GET /queries OpenAPI contract with cluster-only behavior Greptile P1 on #293: the prose fix in server.md left the OpenAPI surface stale. The utoipa annotations (handlers.rs, omnigraph-api-types QueriesCatalogOutput) still described the catalog as "the `mcp.expose == true` subset", and those drive the checked-in openapi.json — so SDK consumers read a contract the cluster-only server does not honor (it lists every stored query). Update the three Rust doc-comment/annotation strings to "every stored query" and regenerate openapi.json (OMNIGRAPH_UPDATE_OPENAPI=1; drift test green) in the same change, per AGENTS.md rule 4. Ledger updated: this finding resolved, plus the cross-repo drift it surfaced (omnigraph-ts generated spec/types and omnigraph-cookbooks best-practices bearer_token_env) tracked as open follow-ups.

feat(cli)!: remove legacy data-plane addressing (--target, positional http→remote, --as-on-served) (#238) * feat(cli): --server accepts a literal URL (RFC-011 Decision 2) `resolve_server_flag` now treats a `--server` value containing `://` as a literal base URL (trailing slash trimmed; `--graph` appends `/graphs/<id>`), bypassing the operator-config `servers:` registry; a bare name still resolves through the registry. This is the replacement the upcoming `--uri http(s)://` deprecation points at, and a small ergonomic win on its own (`--server https://host` with no config entry). Token resolution for a literal-URL server falls to the legacy OMNIGRAPH_BEARER_TOKEN chain, same as a positional URL today. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(cli): address the parity-matrix arms with global --store/--server flags Prep for removing the positional-http→remote dispatch. The parity harness addressed both arms with a positional graph right after the verb (`omnigraph <verb> <addr> <args…>`), which only parses for top-level verbs — for nested subcommands (`schema show`, `branch list`, …) the address landed in the subcommand slot and BOTH arms failed identically, so the test passed vacuously (matching exit codes, never comparing output). Address both arms with the global flags instead — local `--store <graph>` (embedded), remote `--server <url>` (served) — appended after the verb + args, valid regardless of nesting. The previously-vacuous nested-verb parity checks now actually compare embedded vs remote (and pass — parity holds), and the remote arm no longer relies on the positional-URL dispatch that's about to be removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(cli)!: --as on a served write is a hard error (was a silent no-op) A served write resolves the actor server-side from the bearer token, so `--as` could never set identity there — it was silently ignored. It now errors (in the remote write factory, before any HTTP call), pointing the user at removing `--as` or writing directly with `--store`. Reads don't carry `--as`, so this is write-path only. BREAKING for any script that passed `--as` to a remote write (it was a no-op, so behavior is unchanged except the now-explicit error). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(cli)!: a positional/--uri http(s):// URL no longer dispatches to a server Remote graphs must be addressed with `--server <url>` (or a named server / a profile binding one). A positional or `--uri` `http(s)://` URL on a data verb now errors instead of silently routing to the remote HTTP client — the scheme no longer carries transport semantics. The discriminator is `via_server`: a remote URL produced by a server scope is fine; a remote URL from a positional/`--uri` source is rejected (`reject_positional_remote` in both GraphClient factories). Storage verbs are unaffected — they already reject remote URIs through `resolve_local_graph` with the existing "direct (storage-native)" error. Migrated the gh-host keyed-credential system test to `--server <url>` (the literal URL still prefix-matches the operator server for token resolution). BREAKING: scripts addressing a server by a bare URL must switch to `--server <url>`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(cli)!: remove the --target flag (use --store / --profile / --server) Removes the legacy named-graph flag and threads its parameter out of the whole resolver chain. `--target` resolved a graph name through `omnigraph.yaml`'s `graphs:` map; its replacements (`--store <uri>`, `--profile <name>`, `--server <name>`) all ship. - Drops the 22 `target` clap fields + the `--cluster` exclusion that named it. - Threads `target`/`cli_target` out of `resolve_uri`/`resolve_cli_graph`/ `resolve_local_graph`/`resolve_local_uri`/`resolve_storage_uri`/ `resolve_remote_bearer_token`/`apply_server_flag`/`execute_query_lint`/ `resolve_selected_graph`/`resolve_registry_selection_for_list`/ `execute_queries_{validate,list}`, the two `GraphClient` factories, and `ScopeFlags`/`ResolvedScope`. - Keeps the shared `OmnigraphConfig::resolve_target_uri` 3-arg (server boot uses it); the CLI passes None for the explicit-target arm. The `cli.graph` default (omnigraph.yaml bare-command fallback) is unchanged — its removal belongs to the omnigraph.yaml excision. - Operator/file aliases that bind a `graph` name still work: the name is now resolved to a URI inline (a positional URI wins). - Error messages and `--graph`/`--server`/`--store` help text no longer name `--target`; the queries-list selection hint points at `cli.graph`. BREAKING. Tests updated (named-target resolution rewritten onto `cli.graph`; positional-URI tests unchanged). Full omnigraph-cli suite green (228). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(cli): drop --target and positional-http addressing; --as-on-served is an error Update the user docs for the legacy data-plane addressing removals: - the CLI `--target` flag is gone — address graphs with a positional URI, `--store`, `--profile`, or `--server <name|url>`; - a positional `http(s)://` URI no longer dispatches to a server (use `--server`); - `--as` on a served write is now rejected (was a silent no-op). Touches cli/reference.md (addressing intro, capability table, error examples, scopes), cli/index.md (the remote-read example → --server), operations/maintenance + policy, and the cluster docs' data-plane load guidance. The server's own `--target` boot flag is unchanged (server.md untouched). Also fixes a pre-existing broken maintenance link in search/indexes.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(cli): --store is loudly exclusive with a positional URI / --server; test graphs→Served Address two Greptile findings on the RFC-011 slices: - Slice A (P1): `--store` combined with a positional URI silently dropped the URI (`scope.rs` did `store.or(uri)`); `--store` + `--server` errored with a misleading "positional URI" message. Now both combinations fail loudly with a declared `--store is exclusive with a positional URI and --server` error. - Slice B (P2): the `command_capability` unit test never exercised the one Data→Served refinement (`graphs`); added the assertion so deleting that guard can't pass silently.

fix(engine): scalar index coverage + filter literal coercion (query latency) (#216) * fix(engine): lower date/datetime filter literals as typed Arrow scalars `literal_to_expr` lowered `Date`/`DateTime` query literals as Utf8 strings, relying on DataFusion implicit casts. Against a physical `Date32`/`Date64` column that can coerce the column side (`CAST(col AS Utf8)`), which defeats a scalar BTREE and degrades the scan to a full filtered read. Lower to typed `Date32`/`Date64` scalars instead (reusing the loader's `parse_date32_literal`/`parse_date64_literal`, already used by the in-memory comparison arm), so the predicate stays a direct column comparison and the index is used. Malformed literals fall back to the Utf8 string so pushdown behavior never regresses. Tests: unit goldens asserting the lowered literal is typed (red before, green after) + inline-binding pushdown equality in literal_filters confirming the epoch conversion selects the right rows. * fix(engine): build scalar BTREE for enum and orderable-scalar @index columns `build_indices_on_dataset_for_catalog` only handled `String` (-> FTS) and `Vector` (-> vector). Enums are physically `String`, so an enum `@index` column (e.g. `status`) got an FTS inverted index, which Lance never consults for `=`; and `DateTime`/`Date`/numeric/`Bool` `@index` columns fell through and built nothing. Both meant equality/range filters degraded to full scans with `indices_loaded=0`. Dispatch index kind by property type via a shared `node_prop_index_kind`: enum + orderable scalar -> BTREE, free-text String -> FTS, Vector -> vector, list/Blob -> none. The helper is shared by the builder and `needs_index_work_node` so they cannot drift — the latter decides recovery- sidecar pinning, and under-reporting would leave a HEAD-advancing index build uncovered (invariant 5). Tests: scalar_indexes.rs asserts enum/DateTime/numeric @index columns report `IndexCoverage::Indexed` while free-text String/un-annotated columns stay `Degraded` (negative control). Docs: docs/user/indexes.md. * feat(engine): reindex in optimize to keep index coverage current A scalar/FTS/vector index only covers the fragments it was built over. Rows appended after the build (e.g. `ingest --mode merge`, whose commit does not rebuild an existing index) are scanned unindexed, and `compact_files` rewrites fragments out of coverage. Nothing folded them back in, so coverage decayed as the graph grew — even the id/src/dst BTREEs that power traversal. `optimize_one_table` now runs Lance `optimize_indices` after `compact_files` (incremental merge, not retrain — the same compact->optimize_indices sequence LanceDB's `optimize()` uses) and enters the publish path on compaction work OR stale index coverage (new `TableStore::has_unindexed_fragments`, reusing the fragment_bitmap logic). `optimize_indices` is a committing call with no uncommitted variant in lance-6.0.1, so it is an inline-commit residual covered by the existing `SidecarKind::Optimize` recovery sidecar spanning both ops. Blob-bearing tables are still skipped (the Lance blob-compaction bug is compaction-specific; reindex-for-blob deferred as a noted follow-up). Tests: maintenance.rs asserts an appended fragment is uncovered before and covered after optimize, and idempotency holds (second pass is a no-op). lance_surface_guards pins the `optimize_indices` signature and its incremental- coverage behavior. The existing optimize Phase-B recovery failpoint now also exercises a crash after reindex. Docs: maintenance.md, writes.md, invariants.md, lance.md, AGENTS.md. * fix(engine): coerce pushdown filter literals to the column type Filter literals were pushed to Lance in their natural Arrow type (every integer Int64, every float Float64). Against a narrower indexed column DataFusion widens to the literal's type and casts the COLUMN (`CAST(n32 AS Int64)`), which defeats the scalar BTREE and degrades to a full filtered read. A physical-plan probe confirms it: an Int32 column filtered by an i32 literal uses `ScalarIndexQuery`; by an i64 literal it does not. Thread the scan's `arrow_schema` through `build_lance_filter_expr` -> `ir_filter_to_expr` and coerce each literal operand to the opposite column's exact Arrow type, reusing `projection::literal_to_array` + `arrow_cast` (the same path the in-memory arm uses, so the two arms agree). Coercion never demotes a filter to None: on failure it falls back to the natural literal, because a node scan has no in-memory fallback for inline filters. Supersedes the date-specific change in e4ef67b (PR1): the probe shows dates were never index-defeated — temporal coercion casts the LITERAL, not the column — so PR1's index-use rationale was wrong though harmless. The generic coercion subsumes it; `literal_to_expr`'s date arms revert to the natural Utf8 fallback, and its unit tests now assert the live coerced path. Tests: surface guard `scalar_index_use_requires_matched_literal_type` pins the substrate behavior (matched -> index, widened -> column-cast full scan); unit tests cover Int32/UInt32/Float32 coercion, range op, reversed operand order, and the natural fallback; `literal_filters` adds an I32 column with equality + range and an F32 pushdown case. * fix(engine): only coerce filter literals when the cast is lossless The literal coercion in f064121 narrowed unconditionally. typecheck permits numeric cross-type comparisons (`types_compatible`), so an out-of-domain literal reaches `literal_to_typed_expr` and casts lossily: a fractional float vs an integer column truncates (`{ count: 2.7 }` -> `count = 2`, wrongly matching the count=2 row) and an out-of-range integer overflows to null (`count < 3e9` on I32 -> `count < NULL` -> empty). Both silently change results, and a node scan has no in-memory fallback for inline filters. Add a lossless guard for integer targets: round-trip the cast back to the natural type and, on mismatch, return None so the caller keeps the natural literal (correct via DataFusion coercion; the index is just unused for that out-of-domain predicate). Float targets stay coerced -- narrowing F64 -> F32 is the column's own precision domain, not a value error. Resolves the two valid review findings on PR #216 (Codex float truncation, Greptile out-of-range). Tests: unit cases for fractional/out-of-range fallback vs whole-float/in-range coerce vs F32 exemption; e2e `{ count: 2.7 }` returns no rows.

## L2 — OmniGraph orchestration
- **`@index`/`@key` declares intent; the physical index is derived state.** A migration records the declaration in the catalog/IR and never fails on it — `schema apply` builds **no** indexes. Mutation/load likewise publish only their exact data effects; they do not widen the recovery plan with index commits. Reads stay correct while an index is missing or partially covered by falling back to scans (vector search to brute-force). A later `ensure_indices`/`optimize` materializes every buildable declaration; an untrainable Vector column remains pending rather than failing the logical write.
- `ensure_indices()` / `ensure_indices_on(branch)` — idempotent build of BTREE + inverted + vector indexes for the current manifest head; safe to re-run; returns the columns it had to defer as pending. Existing Lance HEAD drift is refused with `omnigraph repair` guidance rather than silently adopted. On a lazy child branch, an ancestor-owned table stays inherited when there is no index work; real index work first verifies the target ref is absent, then creates it only after recovery intent is durable. `optimize` runs the reconciler after compaction, so the maintenance cron is the convergence path for deferred indexes.
- Indexes are built on the *branch head* (not on a snapshot), so reads always see the current index state.
- **Lazy branch forking for indexes**: a branch that hasn't mutated a sub-table doesn't need its own index — the main lineage's index is reused until the first write triggers a copy-on-write fork.
- Vector index parameters (metric, nlist, nprobe, etc.) are not exposed in the schema; they default at the Lance layer and are picked up automatically when an index is asked for on a Vector column.
docs(user): de-dev polish — strip internal scaffolding from user docs (Phase 3a) (#226) Remove developer-only scaffolding that leaked into the public user/operator docs, while preserving every user-facing behavior, command, flag, endpoint, constant, and env var. No behavior changes. Removed across 18 files: - internal ticket / sequencing refs (MR-NNN, RFC-NNN, "Phase N"); - source-code paths (crates/**/*.rs, *.pest) and internal struct/function dumps (e.g. the QueryIR / GraphCommit / SchemaMigrationPlan Rust types, internal fn names like fork_branch_from_state, optimize_all_tables); - Lance-internal blocker prose (upstream issue numbers, blob-decode cause, sidecar Phase-B/C mechanics) — keeping the user-visible behavior (e.g. "optimize skips Blob-column tables; reads/writes unaffected"); - pre-v0.4.0 Run-state-machine archaeology. Internal IR/lowering/recovery-internals sections were either trimmed to a brief user-facing note (e.g. "Traversal execution", "interrupted writes recover automatically; recovery commits are recorded under actor omnigraph:recovery") or removed. Kept: all language syntax, lint codes, Cedar actions/scopes, endpoints, error taxonomy, every constant and env var (verified none dropped from the constants cheat-sheet), and the operator-facing explanations of on-disk artifacts. Residual "legacy" mentions are all user-facing (the deprecated omnigraph.yaml, the legacy token chain, old command names). Verified: zero internal-scaffolding leaks (MR/RFC/Phase/.rs/.pest = 0) across docs/user; zero broken links; check-agents-md.sh green. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- A Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) adjacency representation of edges, with both out- (CSR) and in- (CSC) directions, plus a dense per-node-type id mapping.
- Built on demand from a snapshot's edge tables, **lazily**: only when an `Expand` the planner routes to the CSR path (dense / large frontier) or an `AntiJoin` actually needs it.
- Cached per snapshot (LRU, keyed by snapshot id + edge table versions), so repeat traversals over the same snapshot reuse it.
- Selective `Expand`s resolve neighbors from the persisted `src`/`dst` BTREE instead (one indexed scan per hop) and never trigger the CSR build; see [query-language](../queries/index.md) → Traversal execution. Pure scans, and queries served entirely by the indexed traversal path, skip it.
