mutate_as and load now write directly to target tables and call the
publisher once at the end with per-table expected versions; the Run
state machine, _graph_runs.lance writers, __run__ staging branches,
and server /runs/* endpoints are removed. Multi-statement mutations
remain atomic at the manifest level via an in-memory MutationStaging
accumulator that gives read-your-writes within a query and a single
publish at the end. Concurrent-writer conflicts surface as
ExpectedVersionMismatch (HTTP 409 manifest_conflict) instead of the
old DivergentUpdate merge shape. Documents one known limitation in
docs/runs.md: a multi-statement mid-query failure where op-N writes
a Lance fragment and op-N+1 fails leaves Lance HEAD ahead of the
manifest until a follow-up introduces per-table Lance branches.

Two factual mismatches caught during code-grounded re-review:
- docs/architecture.md: "13 cmd families" was stale — the CLI has 17
Command variants (Version, Embed, Init, Load, Ingest, Branch, Schema,
Query, Snapshot, Export, Run, Commit, Read, Change, Policy, Optimize,
Cleanup). Replaced the count with "command families" so the diagram
doesn't drift again.
- docs/execution.md: the mutation prose said "every mutation runs on a
fresh __run__<id> branch", which over-claims. mutation.rs:555 short-
circuits when the target is already a __run__ branch — the assumption
there is the caller is managing the surrounding run lifecycle. Added a
one-paragraph caveat noting the exception with the file:line citation.
Both diagrams unchanged; only annotations / counts adjusted.
The mutation flow diagram and prose previously claimed multi-statement
mutations publish through a single ManifestRepo::commit. That's wrong:
each statement commits independently to a __run__<id> branch via
commit_updates; atomicity comes from the publish_run step that promotes
the run-branch into the target (fast path) or three-way merges it
(merge path).
Diagram now shows:
- begin_run forks __run__<id> from target head
- per-statement commit_updates on the run-branch (loop)
- OCC pre-check on target head
- publish_run with fast-path / merge-path branches
- terminate_run(Published)
Prose now points at runs.md for the full run lifecycle and cites the
correct entry points: mutate_with_current_actor (mutation.rs:539),
publish_run (omnigraph.rs:858).
Addresses Codex review comment on PR #64.
Replace the single ASCII stack in docs/architecture.md with a hierarchy of
Mermaid diagrams that show the system from external context down to the
component level. Add an on-disk layout diagram in docs/storage.md and two
sequence diagrams (read query, mutation) in docs/execution.md so readers
can navigate from "what is OmniGraph" to "how does a query run" without
opening source.
Static structure (docs/architecture.md):
- System context — agents/clients, embedding providers, Cedar, object store.
- Layer view — eight-layer stack with L1 (Lance) / L2 (OmniGraph) styling
via classDef, replacing the pre-existing ASCII art.
- Component zoom-ins — compiler, engine, storage trait, index lifecycle,
server/CLI. Each zoom-in cites file:line entry points.
Aspirational shapes (storage trait, full reconciler) are visually marked
and pointed at the relevant invariants.md section so readers see the
intended seam without thinking it's already implemented.
On-disk layout (docs/storage.md):
- Tree from repo URI through __manifest, nodes/, edges/, _graph_commits.lance,
_graph_runs.lance, _refs/branches/ down into Lance's per-dataset
internals (_versions/, data/, _indices/, _refs/, _transactions/).
- Annotated with the actual filenames so readers can `ls` the same paths.
- Slots in below the existing __manifest CAS / OCC / migration prose; does
not move or rewrite that content.
Runtime flows (docs/execution.md):
- Read flow sequence: client → Omnigraph::query → typecheck → lower →
execute_query → table_store → Lance scanner → RecordBatch stream.
- Mutation flow sequence: Omnigraph::mutate → resolve literals →
Lance write op (Append / merge_insert) → ManifestRepo::commit →
__manifest upsert.
- Both diagrams are followed by a "Code paths" block with verified
file:line citations so readers can navigate from diagram element to
source in one step.
Conventions established (this is the first Mermaid in the repo):
- L1 = orange (#fef3e8), L2 = blue (#e8f4fd), aspirational = dashed.
- Diagram size cap ~9 elements; more detail goes in a sub-diagram.
- Diagrams paired with prose; code-path citations follow each diagram.
- Consistent vocabulary across diagrams: frontend / compiler / engine /
storage trait / Lance / object store. No accidental synonyms.
Subsequent PRs will add flow diagrams for schema apply, branch + merge,
run isolation, index reconcile, and the embedding pipeline in the same
conventions.
The on-disk shape of `__manifest` is reconciled with the binary via a single
stamp + dispatcher in `db/manifest/migrations.rs`:
- `INTERNAL_MANIFEST_SCHEMA_VERSION = 2` declares the shape this binary writes.
- The on-disk stamp `omnigraph:internal_schema_version` lives in the manifest
dataset's schema-level metadata (Lance `update_schema_metadata`).
- `migrate_internal_schema(&mut dataset)` walks `match`-arm steps forward from
the on-disk stamp until it matches the binary, then returns. Idempotent.
- `init_manifest_repo` stamps the current version at creation; the publisher's
open-for-write path runs pending migrations before reading state. Reads
stay side-effect-free.
- Forward-version protection: a stamp higher than the binary's known version
triggers a clear "upgrade omnigraph first" error so an old binary cannot
clobber a newer schema.
Self-heals existing pre-MR-766 deployments by auto-applying the v1→v2 step:
the `lance-schema:unenforced-primary-key` annotation on `__manifest.object_id`
that engages Lance's row-level CAS at commit time. New repos created via
`init` are stamped at v2 immediately and don't need migration.
Adding a future on-disk shape change is one constant bump, one match arm in
`migrate_internal_schema`, and one test — no new branches in unrelated code
paths. Code outside the migration module never inspects the stamp.
New tests in `manifest/tests.rs`:
- `test_init_stamps_internal_schema_version`
- `test_publish_migrates_pre_stamp_manifest_to_current_version`
- `test_publish_rejects_manifest_stamped_at_future_version`
Docs: `docs/storage.md`, `docs/maintenance.md`, `docs/constants.md` updated
per the AGENTS.md maintenance contract.
- storage.md: document the row-level CAS annotation on `__manifest.object_id`
and the `expected_table_versions` OCC contract on `ManifestBatchPublisher::publish`.
- errors.md: list `ManifestConflictDetails` and its variants alongside `ManifestError`.
- constants.md: add `PUBLISHER_RETRY_BUDGET = 5`.
Per AGENTS.md "Maintenance contract": new schema construct, new constant, and
new typed error shape all need to ship with the source change.
- Removed §IX (OSS / Cloud kernel-product split) — business strategy belongs
in MR-738, not the technical invariants doc.
- Filled the §IV (Additivity / migration) placeholder with five evolution
invariants.
- Reframed §I to be substrate-agnostic: invariants are about respecting any
substrate; Lance / DataFusion are noted as the current chosen substrate
rather than as the invariant itself.
- Added §VI Database guarantees (12 invariants): atomicity, schema integrity,
isolation, durability, causal consistency, determinism, idempotency, no
silent loss, bounded operations, failure scope, crash recovery, consistency
model.
- Added §II.8 wire-protocol agnosticism (kernel transport-agnostic,
Flight/HTTP at the server boundary).
- Reframed §VII as "Current architectural patterns" — explicitly distinct
from invariants. Each pattern entry now names the underlying invariant it
realizes (reconciler / Union / mutations-wrap-reads / SIP / factorize /
stable row IDs / rank columns / policy predicates / Source).
- Pulled specific config defaults out of §VI (timeouts, memory caps);
invariant is that bounds exist, values live in docs/constants.md.
- Split §IX deny-list into "invariant violations" (high bar) and "pattern
violations" (overridable with justification).
- Added status legend: decided / open — see MR-X / aspirational. Annotated
invariants and patterns that are not yet upheld in current code.
- Updated review checklist (§X) to cover database-guarantee dimensions and
the wire-protocol / Source / patterns sections.
- Updated Living Document policy (§XI) to spell out how to revise patterns,
resolve open invariants, and lift aspirational annotations.
Source tickets: MR-737, MR-744, MR-765, MR-694 family, MR-722/MR-725.
All eight comments verified against source and applied:
- AGENTS.md: pull @docs/{invariants,lance,testing}.md imports out of
the markdown blockquote. Claude Code's @-import parser expects @ at
column 0; the leading "> " of a blockquote silently broke
recognition, so the claimed auto-include did nothing. (Cursor,
Medium severity.)
- docs/cli-reference.md: command-family count 13 → 17. The current
enum Command in crates/omnigraph-cli/src/main.rs has 17 top-level
variants. (cubic P2.)
- docs/ci.md: Homebrew tap update is a regular `git push`, not a
force-push (release.yml:117 is `git push origin HEAD:main`). (cubic
P2.)
- docs/errors.md: add the Storage variant to the NanoError list — it
exists at error.rs:88-89 but the doc enumerated only 10 of 11.
(cubic P2.)
- docs/storage.md: clarify tombstone semantics. There is no
tombstone_version column; state.rs:180 reads the tombstone version
from the table_version column on rows where object_type =
table_tombstone. (cubic P2.)
- docs/branches-commits.md: split the GraphCommit pseudo-struct from
the underlying storage. actor_id is joined in-memory from
_graph_commit_actors.lance, not a column on _graph_commits.lance.
(cubic P2.)
- docs/schema-language.md: rename IR_VERSION to SCHEMA_IR_VERSION to
match the actual constant name in catalog/schema_ir.rs:11.
(cubic P3.)
- docs/testing.md: engine integration test count 16 → 15 (matches
`ls crates/omnigraph/tests/*.rs`). (cubic P3.)

The original docs/testing.md mentioned finding existing tests as step 1
of the checklist but never explicitly said "if existing coverage
already addresses your case, extend it; don't duplicate." Adds a
prominent "First principle" section that names extend-vs-new as the
preferred outcome and lists three duplicated init_and_load blocks as
the most common form of test rot.
Adds an extra checklist item: verify your change makes an *existing*
test fail before it makes a new one pass — if you can break the code
without breaking a test, that coverage gap is the bug to fix first.
Strengthens the AGENTS.md callout so the principle ("always check what
already covers it") is in scope from the top of every session.

Maps the test surface (engine integration tests by area, CLI/server
tests, helpers harness, fixtures, failpoints feature, RustFS S3
integration, OpenAPI drift) and gives a before-every-task checklist:
find existing tests for the area, run them as a clean baseline, plan
the new test up front, reuse helpers, mind the layer boundary per
invariants §VII.33.
Notes that there's no coverage tooling today — coverage knowledge
comes from reading and running the relevant integration tests, not a
tarpaulin/codecov report.
Threaded into AGENTS.md as the third required-reading file alongside
invariants.md and lance.md, with a Claude-Code @-import so agents
load it on every turn.

Curates the Lance documentation site (lance.org) into a problem-domain
index so agents fetch the right page when working on Lance-touching
code instead of guessing or grepping our codebase. Organized by topic:
storage format & file layout, branching/tags/time travel, indexes
(scalar + system + vector), reads/writes, schema evolution, object
store, data types, performance, compaction, DataFusion integration,
SDK reference, plus quick-starts and the upstream AGENTS.md.
Skips ~200 irrelevant URLs from the upstream sitemap (Namespace REST
API model surface, Spark/Trino/Databricks/etc. integrations,
Python/Ray/HuggingFace docs, community pages) since omnigraph is
Rust-only and doesn't run a Lance Namespace catalog.
AGENTS.md surfaces it in the topic index and adds a directive: "when
you hit a Lance-shaped problem, consult docs/lance.md and fetch the
upstream URL before guessing."

A standing reference for invariants that hold across storage, engine,
server, schema, indexing, observability, and the OSS/Cloud split. Used
to check RFCs and PRs against the substrate boundaries (don't rebuild
what Lance gives us), layering rules (one trait boundary per layer),
distributability constraints (Send+Sync, location-neutral IR), honesty
expectations (estimate-vs-actual, bounded failure modes), unified
patterns (reconciler, Union polymorphism, SIP, factorize), the §IX
deny-list, and the §X review checklist.
§IV (additivity / migration) and §VIII (OSS/Cloud kernel-product split)
are referenced but not yet drafted — flagged as placeholders pending
upstream fill-in.
AGENTS.md surfaces it from the topic index, the always-on rules
section, and the maintenance contract; the deny-list is also inlined
there as a fast-pass review filter so it stays in scope every turn.

Splits the 990-line AGENTS.md into a 184-line map (architecture,
where-to-find index, always-on invariants, capability matrix,
maintenance contract) plus 18 new docs/*.md files holding the deep
content per topic (storage, schema and query languages, indexes,
embeddings, branches/commits, runs, merge, changes, execution, policy,
server, CLI reference, audit, errors, CI, constants, v0.3.1 notes).
Adds scripts/check-agents-md.sh and a check_agents_md CI job that
verifies every docs/ link in AGENTS.md resolves and every doc in the
canonical set is linked. CLAUDE.md remains a symlink to AGENTS.md.

- docs/deployment.md: new "Token sources" section listing the three
bearer-token source precedences (AWS SM, JSON file/env, single token).
New "Build Variants" section explaining default vs aws builds and
their release-artifact naming. New "AWS Secrets Manager" section
covering env var, secret payload format, IAM role credential
discovery, and the hard error for feature-less builds.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: documents the `aws` feature and the two test
commands contributors should run when touching auth code.
