January 2026 (kamu-cli): Delivered a foundational Elasticsearch-based full-text and hybrid search system with account/dataset indexing, a basic search API with pagination and filtering, and security controls (ReBAC). Implemented a robust indexing pipeline with versioned indices, outbox-driven updates, and connectivity to a self-hosted ES cluster. Integrated ReBAC-based visibility filtering into search and dataset/account relationship updates. Resolved critical bugs to improve data integrity and safety: avoid indexing empty dataset documents during reindexing, ensure search index resets use the system catalog to prevent transaction duplication, and guard against deleting indices when the list is empty. Refactored modules to reduce circular dependencies and improve maintainability, including decoupling core and ReBAC concerns. Prepared groundwork for vector search, TLS-enabled ES testing, and improved testability with ES context harness.
