Description

@ruvnet

📋 Overview

This issue tracks the implementation of comprehensive fixes identified in ADR-0010 (docs/adrs/0010fixes.md). The analysis was conducted using a self-learning swarm with 6 specialized agents and covers security, performance, code quality, and API improvements.

Overall Grade: A- (86/100) - Ready for production with recommended enhancements.


🏛️ Domain-Driven Design Structure

This issue is organized following DDD principles with distinct Bounded Contexts:

Bounded Context Priority Impact Related ADR
Security Domain P1 - Critical High ADR-0011
Performance Domain P1 - Critical High ADR-0012
Code Quality Domain P2 - High Medium ADR-0013
API/Bindings Domain P3 - Medium Medium ADR-0014

🔐 Security Domain (Priority 1 - Critical)

S-1: MCP Endpoint Authentication [CRITICAL]

  • Current: No authentication implemented
  • Fix: Implement token-based auth or mTLS
  • Location: ruvector-mcp/src/transport.rs

S-2: Path Traversal Prevention [CRITICAL]

  • Current: User paths accepted without sanitization
  • Fix: Canonical path resolution + whitelist validation
  • Location: ruvector-mcp/src/handlers.rs

S-3: FFI Pointer Validation [MODERATE]

  • Current: No pointer validity checks
  • Fix: Add null checks, alignment validation, SAFETY comments
  • Location: ruvector-fpga-transformer/src/ffi/c_abi.rs

S-4: CORS Restriction [MODERATE]

  • Current: CorsLayer::permissive()
  • Fix: Configurable whitelist, restrictive by default

S-5: Rate Limiting [MODERATE]

  • Current: No rate limiting
  • Fix: Token bucket rate limiter for MCP endpoints

⚡ Performance Domain (Priority 1)

P-1: O(N²) Index Deserialization [CRITICAL]

  • Current: Nested iter().find() causing O(N²)
  • Fix: Pre-index with HashMap for O(N log N)
  • Expected Gain: 60-90% startup improvement
  • Location: ruvector-core/src/hnsw/serialization.rs

P-2: Parallel HNSW Batch Insert [HIGH]

  • Current: Sequential batch insertions
  • Fix: Parallel insert with rayon
  • Expected Gain: 75-150% throughput

P-3: Arc Instead of Clone [MEDIUM]

  • Expected Gain: 30-50% memory reduction

P-4: SIMD Manhattan Distance [LOW]

  • Expected Gain: 10-20% for L1 workloads

🧪 Code Quality Domain (Priority 2)

Q-1: SAFETY Comments [HIGH]

  • 25+ unsafe blocks need documentation

Q-2: Reduce unwrap()/expect() [MEDIUM]

  • 119 calls in ruvector-core need audit

Q-3: Add cargo-audit to CI [MEDIUM]

  • No security vulnerability scanning

Q-4: Code Coverage Tracking [MEDIUM]

  • 4,014 test functions, no coverage metrics

Q-5: Performance Regression Detection [LOW]

  • 60+ benchmark suites, no regression tracking

🔌 API/Bindings Domain (Priority 3)

A-1: Complete Transaction Support [HIGH]

  • Expose transactions to Node.js, MCP

A-2: Async WASM APIs [MEDIUM]

  • Convert sync WASM to async/await

A-3: Cypher Bindings [MEDIUM]

  • Expose Cypher to all platforms

A-4: Collections WASM Support [LOW]

  • Full Collection API in WASM

📈 Success Metrics

Metric Current Target
Security Score 82/100 95/100
Performance Score 85/100 92/100
Code Quality Score 85/100 90/100
Overall 86/100 92/100
