Regarding the index building/mutation race issue:

Catching in-flight vector mutations and replaying them after the build completes is the right shape. It's essentially what Postgres does with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. But catching alone won't fix this. It has to be catch and suppress.

Why capture without suppression doesn't help

The concurrent mutation isn't failing to reach the index today. It reaches it and corrupts it.

AddMutationWithIndex leaves factorySpecs nil, addIndexMutations fills it from the write context (posting/index.go:89-95), and FactoryCreateSpec prefers mutSchema (schema/schema.go:369-382). So a live mutation already knows about the new HNSW index and already writes graph edges for it, into a graph that DropIndexes just emptied. It hits if data == nil { return create_edges(inUuid) } in createEntryAndStartNodes (tok/hnsw/helper.go:411-413), installs itself as the sole entry point with an all-empty adjacency matrix, and commits at a commitTs above the rebuild's blob.

Note this is a lost update on an opaque blob, not a timestamp-ordering problem. Adjacency is read last-writer-wins, so on every key a live insert touched, the live version wins and it describes a disjoint second graph. The entry key is touched by essentially every early insert, so the surviving entry point reliably lands in a component the build never linked. That also rules out the "make the build merge-aware" family: there is no merge operation for two adjacency matrices.

If we capture the UID for replay but still let the insert happen, we keep the clobber. Suppressing the insert during the build is what actually closes it: the builder becomes the sole writer to the vector keyspace for its window, and __vector_entry stays untouched until the build establishes it.

The seam is wider than it looks

It isn't the indexer.Insert(ctx, tc, uid, inVec) line at posting/index.go:172. AddMutationWithIndex makes two addIndexMutations calls: a DEL-op at posting/index.go:619 whenever a prior posting existed, then the SET-op at :633. Both enter the vector block, and the DEL half has its own side effect on __vector_dead (see below). Capture and suppression have to wrap the whole block from posting/index.go:103, gating both branches.

There is also no way today to tell the builder's writes from live writes at that seam. Both arrive under identical context: schema.GetWriteContext(ctx) at worker/mutation.go:59 for live mutations, schema.GetWriteContext(context.Background()) at worker/mutation.go:171 for the builder, whose ctx threads unbroken to txn.addIndexMutations(ctx, ...) at posting/index.go:1455. A naive "skip if this predicate is mid-rebuild" branch suppresses the build itself.

The near-misses don't work. Pre-populated factorySpecs looks like a discriminator, but handleDeleteAll pre-populates it on a live path too (posting/index.go:396-403), and posting/index.go:89 overwrites the nil-ness before the vector block runs. Comparing mutSchema's IndexSpecs against the predicate's can't work either: GetQuerySchema does querySchema := *rb.CurrentSchema at posting/index.go:1134 and rewrites only Tokenizer, Count, and Directive, so IndexSpecs are identical throughout the build. The clean fix is a second context key stamped once at worker/mutation.go:171, which needs no signature changes. We'd also need a per-predicate signal, since IndexingInProgress() is global (schema/schema.go:518).

Two things that make this cheaper than it sounds

• Capture UIDs, not mutation payloads. A UID set bounded by the predicate's cardinality. It dedupes repeated updates for free, and replay re-reads the authoritative value from the data posting list.
• The list doesn't need to survive a crash. The new schema only reaches disk in updateSchema (worker/mutation.go:282-298) after a successful build, and there's no resume path, so a crash mid-build already abandons the whole alter.

Don't loop toward a drain

My first instinct was a converge loop with a bounded final drain. I think that's wrong. Capture is armed at apply time, but a mutation only becomes visible at commit time, and detectPendingTxns (worker/draft.go:315) is weaker than it looks: it rejects the alter only if a txn already holds a key on the predicate in the local oracle's pendingTxns (posting/oracle.go:395-405), and it explicitly refuses to wait. A txn that first touches the predicate after the alter is never caught. Its edge gets suppressed and captured at apply, but if replay reads before its commit lands, the vector is missing at replay time and never recomputed. That residue is sized by client think time, so a converge loop can't shrink it away.

Better: hold suppression armed across the entire replay, then quiesce pending txns on the predicate (the tryAbortTransactions path at worker/draft.go:328 already exists) and flip once. Record under the s.RLock() that FactoryCreateSpec already takes on every live mutation (schema/schema.go:369-372), flip under the write lock in DeleteMutSchema (schema/schema.go:212). That makes the flip atomic against the local apply goroutine, with no drain mechanism and no termination question.

Two constraints on the replay itself. It can't flush through the rebuilder's CommitToDisk at r.startTs, because posting/mvcc.go:300 skips any key whose recorded max version is at or above the commit ts, which is precisely the captured set. And a per-replica "fresh ts" makes index-key versions replica-dependent for the first time, which is what the incremental snapshot filter at worker/snapshot.go:209 assumes away. Today every replica writes the whole graph at the same Raft-deterministic r.startTs. Route the replay through the ordinary AddMutationWithIndex path under a real transaction instead.

Fix this first, whichever design we pick

RunWithoutTemp never calls writer.Flush(). It ends at the ExponentialRetry(...CommitToDisk...) at posting/index.go:786-794, while rebuilder.Run does return writer.Flush() at posting/index.go:1111. TxnWriter.update is an async CommitAt(commitTs, w.cb) whose errors only surface through Wait(). So BuildIndexes can return nil before the graph is durable, or after the commit failed. "Replay after indexing is complete" isn't a well-defined moment until that's fixed.

The alternative worth weighing

A shadow generation keyspace: build into __vector_g2_*, have live mutations dual-write into both graphs, and flip a generation pointer at schema-flip time. More write amplification, but it keeps the old index queryable for the whole build, which capture-and-replay does not.

Two adjacent bugs on main

Updating a vector dead-marks its own uid. addMutationHelper applies the mutation via addMutationInternal at posting/index.go:559, before the DEL-op index call at :619. So when that call runs pl.AllValues(txn.StartTs) at posting/index.go:109, the txn's own new posting is already visible via the start == readTs branch in pickPostings ("This mutation is by ME", posting/list.go:1106-1108). data[0].Tid == types.VFloatID holds, and the dead-node branch at posting/index.go:114 fires. The mark is permanent (// TODO add a path to delete deadNodes, tok/hnsw/helper.go:746) and removeDeadNodes strips the uid from every neighbor list rewritten afterwards (tok/hnsw/helper.go:670).

Confirmed with a unit test in posting/: insert a vector for uid 1, then update it in place. First insert leaves __vector_dead empty; the update puts uid 1 in it.

Error:    []uint64{0x1} should not contain 0x1
Messages: updating a vector must not add its own uid to __vector_dead (got [1])

GetQuerySchema never masks IndexSpecs. It masks Tokenizer, Count, and Directive (posting/index.go:1132), but for a vfloat predicate @index(hnsw) populates IndexSpecs only. So readers see the index as live from the instant of the Set at worker/mutation.go:251, and similar_to runs against a graph under construction. The tokenizer equivalent would have errored out with "not indexed". needsTokIndexRebuild already computes vectorIndexesToRebuild, it just isn't consulted there.

35-35: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the per-invocation attr helper instead of fixed predicate names.

Both tests use a fixed attr and restart the local ts counter at 1 (lines 73 and 253). They write real base-data and index keys at those versions into the shared pstore.

posting/vector_rebuild_race_test.go lines 43-52 document this exact hazard and add vecTestAttr for it: a repeated run in the same process rewrites the same (key, version) pairs, and read resolution for the duplicates is then arbitrary.

Under go test -count=2 ./posting/, the second iteration hits that state. selfRecall asserts exact top-1 self-recall and readMeta asserts an exact dimension, so both can fail nondeterministically.

Reuse the existing helper in this package.

💚 Proposed fix

-	attr := x.AttrInRootNamespace("phrestart")
+	attr := vecTestAttr(t, "phrestart")

-	attr := x.AttrInRootNamespace("phmeta")
+	attr := vecTestAttr(t, "phmeta")

schema.ParseBytes at lines 50-51 and 250-251 must then use the generated bare name instead of the literal, as posting/vector_rebuild_race_test.go does with strings.TrimPrefix(attr, "0-").

Relax the delete-loop recall assertion for the approximate mode.

This loop deletes all but one vector and, after every delete, asserts that similar_to returns a vector from allVectors.

querySingleVector returns an empty slice when the response has no results (see lines 277-279). require.Contains(t, allVectors, vector) then fails on that empty slice.

The partitioned subtest probes a subset of clusters. As the corpus empties toward the final iterations, a probed cluster can hold no surviving vector and the query returns no results. The subtest then fails intermittently.

Every other approximate-recall assertion in this file is relaxed for mode.approx. Relax this one the same way.

Match the run gating to the stated diagnostic intent.

Lines 14-15 state that these tests are not part of the regression suite and must be run explicitly. The guard is testing.Short(), which only skips them under -short. A plain go test ./posting/ runs both.

TestVectorDrainThenInsertMatrix is not diagnostic-only in effect: lines 476-478 assert zero orphans across 6 cases × 10 reps, each rebuilding an index over 300+ vectors. TestVectorBatchOrphanMatrix also asserts an exact base-data count at line 175 across 4 modes × 10 reps.

The default package run therefore absorbs a long matrix and can fail on it. Gate both tests behind an explicit opt-in, or update the header comment to state that they run by default.

Verification loops scale topk with the dataset size, so the checks are quadratic. Both sites issue one similar_to query per vector and request as many results as there are vectors.

Iterate the schemas in a deterministic order.

schemas is a map, so the two suite passes run in random order. Both passes share one cluster, so an ordering-dependent failure is hard to reproduce, and the testDirSeq suffixes used by testBackupDir and testExportDir shift between runs. Iterate over a sorted key list, or use an ordered slice.

Copy the struct instead of listing fields one by one.

BuildInsert rebuilds persistentHNSW field by field. Any field added later to the struct is silently dropped here, which produces a sub-index that ignores part of its configuration. deadNodes is already omitted.

202-207: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make FindOrCreate satisfy its contract without sharing snapshot-sensitive caches.

posting/index.go calls FindOrCreateIndex for each vector mutation. persistentIndexFactory.FindOrCreate delegates to CreateOrReplace, which takes hf.mu, removes the registered persistentHNSW, and creates a new one. This serializes mutations and discards nodeAllEdges and deadNodes on every call, contrary to the IndexFactory.FindOrCreate contract.

Do not fix this by only returning the existing instance. fillNeighborEdges and removeDeadNodes cache values without the TxnCache timestamp, so a shared instance can reuse data from another transaction and produce incorrect graph updates. Make these caches transaction-scoped or versioned, synchronize shared access, and then implement find-or-create as find-existing/create-absent. Keep CreateOrReplace for rebuilds.

Inline comments:
In `@posting/index.go`:
- Around line 1516-1534: In the dimension-inference IterateDisk callback, skip
values whose Tid is not types.VFloatID before converting with
types.BytesAsFloatArray, matching ExistingVectorDimension. Capture and handle
the IterateDisk return error instead of discarding it, ensuring scan failures
are propagated rather than leaving dimension at -1.

In `@posting/vector_rebuild_gate.go`:
- Around line 385-393: Replace the round-count grace tracking in the drain logic
with wall-clock deadlines using a graceUntil map[uint64]time.Time. Initialize
each uid’s deadline to the intended grace interval, retain it in next while the
deadline has not expired, and remove expired entries from graceUntil; update all
existing grace references in the surrounding drain flow consistently.

In `@systest/vector/backup_test.go`:
- Line 226: Update the backup/restore flow in the test around hc.Restore to
create an incremental backup containing the second data batch before restoring.
Ensure the restore uses the resulting manifests with the existing full backup so
both vector batches are available for the final assertions.

In `@systest/vector/vector_test.go`:
- Around line 789-791: Remove the x.Panic call from TestVectorSuite’s failure
handling so t.Failed() remains the only failure signal and shared-cluster
cleanup can run after m.Run(); remove the errors import if it becomes unused.

In `@t/benchmark_claude_diss.md`:
- Line 183: Update the input-processing flow around the edges list comprehension
to read and tokenize at most batch_size edges per iteration, apply each mutation
batch before reading more input, and avoid retaining the full dataset in memory.
- Line 193: Update the edge-generation expressions at both occurrences to use
dst_uid as the connected object instead of generated _:e{i} identifiers, while
retaining the existing source src_uid and weight values so edges connect the
Vertex nodes represented by uid_map.

In `@tok/hnsw/persistent_hnsw.go`:
- Around line 498-506: Update persistentHNSW.MergeResults so an errNilVector
from getVecFromUid is treated as a deleted candidate: skip that UID and continue
processing the remaining list. Preserve returning unrelated errors and the
existing result-merging behavior.

In `@tok/kmeans/kmeans.go`:
- Around line 190-201: The maybeHydrate flow must distinguish a missing centroid
key from storage failures: update the cache/read path used by LocalCache.Get,
MemoryLayer.ReadData, and getNew to return a distinguishable not-found result
without classifying other errors as misses. Set vc.hydrated only after confirmed
absence or successful centroid hydration; propagate or retry other errors
instead of routing to cluster 0, and add tests covering both outcomes.

In `@tok/partitioned_hnsw/partitioned_factory.go`:
- Around line 151-154: Update the cached-index branch in the factory method
around findWithLock so query-time options are applied safely to the existing
partitioned index before returning it, including NumProbesOpt changes. Preserve
the same index instance, and add a test that changes numProbes and verifies
identity is retained while the search configuration updates.

In `@tok/partitioned_hnsw/partitioned_hnsw.go`:
- Around line 252-262: Protect all accesses to ph.vectorDimension with a shared
mutex, including the initialization logic in Insert and the Dimension() and
SetDimension() methods. Resolve and assign the dimension atomically so
concurrent first inserts cannot race or select nondeterministically, while
preserving persisted-dimension hydration and first-vector fallback behavior.

In `@tok/partitioned_hnsw/unified_factory.go`:
- Around line 109-112: Serialize each name’s factory selection together with the
delegated Create, CreateOrReplace, or FindOrCreate operation so competing
monolithic and partitioned calls cannot register both configurations; coordinate
Find and Remove through the same per-name synchronization, preserving the
selected factory’s behavior and cleanup semantics. Update the unified factory
methods around pick and delegation, and add a concurrent mixed-configuration
regression test.

In `@worker/draft.go`:
- Line 396: Move or add namespace-scoped vector-index eviction so it runs before
posting.DeleteAllForNs invokes schema.State().DeletePredsForNs(ns); ensure the
eviction occurs before predicate schema removal while preserving the existing
posting.DeleteData path.

In `@worker/mutation.go`:
- Line 500: Update the schema validation flow around validateVectorDimension to
track the first declared vector dimension within a single schema update and
reject any subsequent VectorIndexSpec with a different value, including when no
persisted dimension exists; preserve the existing persisted-data validation for
the initial declaration.

In `@worker/task.go`:
- Line 374: Update the index lifecycle around FindOrCreateIndex and
persistentHNSW.fillNeighborEdges so nodeAllEdges is not reused across different
read timestamps. Key or invalidate the adjacency cache by index.CacheType.Ts()
before Search consults it, ensuring queries at different args.q.ReadTs use rows
from the correct timestamp.

import lists as abbreviated so copied examples do not appear to compile as
shown.
- Around line 224-225: Update the guidance in the test-engineer instructions to
remove the recommendation to use testutil for new tests; specify dgraphtest and
dgraphapi for new tests, and limit testutil explicitly to maintaining existing
tests.

In @.claude/agents/test-runner.md:
- Line 20: Update the Docker test-container instructions and later verification
command to reference the Linux binary through the LINUX_GOBIN environment
variable, using $LINUX_GOBIN/dgraph instead of hardcoded linux_arm64 paths.
Preserve the existing guidance to confirm the binary is fresh after code
changes.
- Around line 288-290: Update the Docker Compose discovery documentation in the
test runner section to describe searching the test package directory first, then
progressively checking parent directories until a Compose file is found, rather
than implying a direct fallback only to the repository root.

In `@posting/vector_restart_test.go`:
- Line 35: Update both affected tests in vector_restart_test.go to use the
existing per-invocation vecTestAttr helper instead of the fixed phrestart
attribute, ensuring each run gets a unique attribute. Pass the generated bare
attribute name to each schema.ParseBytes call by removing the namespace prefix
consistently with vector_rebuild_race_test.go, while preserving the existing
test behavior.

In `@query/vector/vector_test.go`:
- Around line 802-806: Update the delete loop in the approximate-mode test
around querySingleVector so an empty result is accepted when mode.approx is
enabled, matching the other approximate-recall assertions; retain the existing
require.Contains check for non-approximate modes and non-empty results.

In `@systest/vector/vector_test.go`:
- Around line 554-556: In the test setup around c.Client(), validate err with
require.NoError before deferring cleanup, so a failed client creation cannot
defer or invoke a nil cleanup function; retain the cleanup defer only after the
error check succeeds.

In `@t/benchmark_claude_diss.md`:
- Line 53: Update the fenced code blocks in the archive, directory, and
properties examples to declare an explicit language, using text for archive and
directory examples and ini or text for the properties example; apply the same
correction to all referenced occurrences to eliminate MD040 warnings.
