History

jx12n c22a3b65a6 docs: withdraw the pre-release "not ready for production" disclaimer M0-M12 are shipped and the HA cluster runs in production on k3s, so the pre-release disclaimer no longer describes the project. Removes it from the canonical doc set and corrects the readiness text that had gone stale. - README.md: replace the "Pre-release / not yet recommended for production" banner with a production-ready statement; drop "(experimental)" from the cluster status bullet; state the post-1.0 versioning posture (additive in minor releases, breaking changes get a documented migration path). - CLAUDE.md / QUICKSTART.md / docs/guides/server-deployment.md / docs/runbooks/cluster.md: same withdrawal; reframe the cluster opt-in as a guard against standing up a multi-node fabric by accident rather than a readiness warning. - CHANGELOG.md: record the stability posture under [Unreleased], superseding the historical 0.1.0 "no stability guarantees" note (left intact as history). - k8s/statefulset.yaml: the "NOT production HA, tracked as m8p10" comment was stale (m8p10 shipped); point at k8s/cluster/ for the HA deployment instead. Also corrects text that was factually wrong since m11p3/m11p4: the multi-process cluster gate, its CLI help, and the served OpenAPI description all still claimed quorum-ack writes and automatic failure detection did not exist. They do. Historical records (docs/reviews/, docs/profiling/, past CHANGELOG entries, the kubernetes.md rc7 fix note) are left unchanged. Verified against a running binary, not just the build: the opt-in gate's refusal message, the startup WARN, /health 200, and the served /openapi.json description all carry the new text. cargo fmt clean; clippy -D warnings clean on tidaldb and the tidal-server lib; 1943 engine + 155 server lib tests pass; scripts/check-docs.sh OK.

README.md

tidalDB Engineering Docs

The engineering documentation home. Top-level product docs (VISION, USE_CASES, SEQUENCE, ARCHITECTURE, API, QUICKSTART, CODING_GUIDELINES, thoughts) live at the repository root; everything below is the deeper engineering record.

This and the repo root are the two canonical doc homes. There is intentionally no per-crate doc mirror (no tidal/docs/). Edit the canonical file, never a copy.

Component specs — `specs/`

The authoritative component specifications (status: Implemented, M0–M12).

#	Spec	#	Spec
00	Architecture overview	08	Query engine
01	Storage engine	09	Ranking & scoring
02	Entity model	10	Feedback loop
03	Signal system	11	Schema
04	Relationships	12	Cold start
05	Cohorts	13	Concurrency
06	Text retrieval	14	Scale architecture
07	Vector retrieval

Planning — `planning/`

ROADMAP.md — milestones M0–M12, phase status, known gaps
roadmap-to-cluster.md — adopted M11 plan: gap analysis + phase specs taking the multi-process cluster from experimental to enterprise-grade (all nine phases m11p1–p9 ✅, 2026-06-13), grounded in the 2026-06-10 live stress-test baselines

Per-milestone phase/task archive: planning/milestone-0,1,2,3,5,7,8,9,10,11,p/

Code reviews — `reviews/`

M0–M10 code review — 2026-06-07 — seven-dimension re-review, 88 verified findings
M0–M10 code review — 2026-06-08 — seven-dimension review, 142 findings (latest pass)
M0–M10 seven-dimension review — additional pass (2 BLOCKERs: signal-checkpoint trim, 30-day window)

Guides — `guides/`

Task-oriented, build-an-app docs (complements the root QUICKSTART.md and API.md):

Build a feed app — end-to-end TikTok/Reels-style "For You" feed, embedded and over HTTP
Embedding integration — wiring a real embedding model (OpenAI / Cohere / local) into the write + query paths
Server deployment — running the tidal-server HTTP service: config, auth, the served OpenAPI spec, Docker
Ranking-profile reference: ai-lookup/services/ranking-profiles.md — all 25 built-in profiles
