August 2025: Implemented text-index Bloom Filter Layer with parameterizable false positive rate, enabling faster, more scalable text queries. Expanded test coverage for text index searchAny/searchAll and added detailed logging for segment I/O to improve diagnostics. Strengthened concurrency safety with per-thread initialization of FastPfor-based codecs and stronger locking, plus fixes to indexing calculations and CODECFactory initialization for reliability. Shaped business value through documentation, config improvements, and maintainability work (Flake/Nix, code style, and missing-files fixes) that reduce runtime risk and streamline future deployments.
