+# Оставащи бъгове — nim-allographer (BaraDB клиент) + BaraDB сървър
+
+> Дата: 2026-05-21
+> Поправени в тази сесия: компилационни грешки, `toJson()`, агрегати, `whereIn`/`whereBetween` placeholder-и, `paginate`, transaction cleanup, `insertSql` state.
+> **Допълнително поправени:** reserved words parser, cloneForConnection nil fields, SQL injection (prepared statements), `getRowPlain()` semantics, BaraDB-native `SHOW TABLES` + schema builder
+
+---
+
+## 🔴 Критични — блокират функционалност
+
+### ✅ 1. [СЪРВЪР] SIGSEGV при INSERT в транзакция — ПОПРАВЕНО
+
+**Статус:** Поправено. `cloneForConnection` не копираше `graphs`, `embedder`, `llmClient` полетата, оставяйки nil стойности в connection context-а.
+
+**Файл:** `src/barabadb/query/executor.nim` — `cloneForConnection()`
+
+---
+
+### ✅ 2. [СЪРВЪР] Parser error за резервирани думи като колони — ПОПРАВЕНО
+
+**Статус:** Поправено. Добавен `expectIdent()` helper който приема `tkLabels`, `tkCount`, `tkSum`, `tkAvg`, `tkMin`, `tkMax`, `tkArrayAgg`, `tkStringAgg` като валидни идентификатори. Интегриран в `parseCreateTable`, `parseDropTable`, `parseAlterTable`, `parseCreateIndex` и `parsePrimary`.
+
+**Файл:** `src/barabadb/query/parser.nim`
+
+---
+
+## 🟡 Важни — качество и сигурност
+
+### ✅ 3. [КЛИЕНТ] SQL injection риск в `formatSql()` — ПОПРАВЕНО
+
+**Статус:** Поправено. Всички query функции (`getAllRows`, `getRow`, `exec`, `insertId`, `getColumns` + Raw варианти) пренасочени към `client.query(sql, params)` през `mkQueryParams` wire protocol. Стойностите вече не се интерполират в SQL стринга.
+
+**Файл:** `clients/nim-allographer/.../baradb_exec.nim`
+
+---
+
+### ✅ 4. [КЛИЕНТ] Schema builder използва `information_schema` — ПОПРАВЕНО
+
+**Статус:** Поправено.
+- **Сървър:** Добавени `SHOW TABLES` и `SHOW COLUMNS FROM table` команди (parser + executor)
+- **Клиент:** Schema builder пренаписан да ползва `SHOW TABLES` → `SHOW COLUMNS FROM` вместо `information_schema`
+
+**Файлове:**
+- `src/barabadb/query/ast.nim` — добавен `nkShowTables` node
+- `src/barabadb/query/parser.nim` — `parseShowTables()`, `parseDescribeTable()`
+- `src/barabadb/query/executor.nim` — `nkShowTables` handler
+- `clients/nim-allographer/.../create_schema.nim` — BaraDB-native introspection
+
+---
+
+## 🟢 Дреболии
+
+### ✅ 5. [КЛИЕНТ] `getRowPlain()` връща празен seq при празен резултат — ПОПРАВЕНО
+
+**Статус:** Поправено. `getRowPlain()` вече връща `Option[seq[string]]` — `some(row)` при резултат, `none(seq[string])` при 0 реда. `firstPlain`/`findPlain` запазват backward-compatible `seq[string]` API.

+
+### Data Integrity (3 critical + 3 high + 2 medium)
+

+
+### Query Correctness (1 high + 2 medium)

+
+### Storage Engine (2 medium)

+
+### Distributed Systems (2 high + 1 medium)
+
+- **Fix sharding connectWithTimeout missing SO_ERROR check** (`sharding.nim`) — verifies connection actually succeeded

+# Bug Report: `hunos` 1.3.1 fails to compile on Nim 2.2.x — `getRandomBytes` removed from `std/sysrand`
+
+## Summary
+
+The `hunos` package (v1.3.1) fails to compile on Nim 2.2.10 with:
+
+```
+hunos/sessions.nim(42, 3) Error: undeclared identifier: 'getRandomBytes'
+```
+
+The `std/sysrand` module in Nim 2.2.x no longer exports `getRandomBytes`. The API was renamed to `urandom`.
+
+## Affected files (3 locations)
+
+### 1. `hunos/sessions.nim` — `generateSessionId()`
+
+```nim
+# BROKEN (line ~42)
+proc generateSessionId(): string =
+  var bytes = newSeq[byte](16)
+  getRandomBytes(bytes)  # ← does not exist in Nim 2.2
+  ...
+```
+
+**Fix:**
+```nim
+proc generateSessionId(): string =
+  let bytes = urandom(16)
+  ...
+```
+
+### 2. `hunos/sessions.nim` — `newRandomSecretKey()`
+
+```nim
+# BROKEN (line ~222)
+proc newRandomSecretKey*(): SignedCookieSecretKey =
+  var bytes = newSeq[byte](48)
+  getRandomBytes(bytes)  # ← does not exist in Nim 2.2
+  result.key = encode(bytes)
+```
+
+**Fix:**
+```nim
+proc newRandomSecretKey*(): SignedCookieSecretKey =
+  let bytes = urandom(48)
+  result.key = encode(bytes)
+```
+
+### 3. `hunos/csrf.nim` — `generateCsrfToken()`
+
+```nim
+# BROKEN (line ~27)
+proc generateCsrfToken*(): string =
+  var bytes = newSeq[byte](csrfTokenLength)
+  getRandomBytes(bytes)  # ← does not exist in Nim 2.2
+  ...
+```
+
+**Fix:**
+```nim
+proc generateCsrfToken*(): string =
+  let bytes = urandom(csrfTokenLength)
+  ...
+```
+
+## Environment
+
+| Component | Version |
+|-----------|---------|
+| Nim | 2.2.10 |
+| hunos | 1.3.1 |
+| OS | Linux (amd64) |
+
+## Root cause
+
+`std/sysrand` in Nim 2.2.x provides:
+- `proc urandom*(dest: var openArray[byte]): bool`
+- `proc urandom*(size: Natural): seq[byte]`
+
+The old `getRandomBytes` procedure was removed. All three call sites need to switch to `urandom`.
+
+## Impact
+
+Any project depending on `hunos >= 1.3.0, < 1.3.2` with Nim 2.2.x will fail to compile. This is a **build-breaking** issue.
+
+## Workaround
+
+Pin to `hunos >= 1.3.2` (which has the fix) or patch the three files locally as shown above.

+# BaraDB vs PostgreSQL — Real Benchmark Results
+
+Generated from actual execution on:
+- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
+- **PostgreSQL:** 15.18 (local)
+- **BaraDB:** git `42043f3`
+
+## Methodology
+
+- PostgreSQL: single-row INSERT/SELECT via psycopg2 (client-server overhead included)
+- BaraDB: in-process Nim code (no network overhead)
+- Same dataset sizes for both systems
+
+## Results
+
+| Test | PostgreSQL | BaraDB | Speedup |
+|------|-----------|--------|---------|
+| KV Write (100K) | 16.82K/s (5.946s) | 32.23K/s (3.103s) | 1.9x (BaraDB) |
+| KV Read (100K) | 15.08K/s (6.630s) | 3.95M/s (25.3ms) | 261.9x (BaraDB) |
+| BTree Insert (100K) | 17.66K/s (5.664s) | 2.52M/s (39.7ms) | 142.8x (BaraDB) |
+| BTree Get (100K) | 14.50K/s (6.899s) | 2.34M/s (42.7ms) | 161.4x (BaraDB) |
+| BTree Scan (1K ranges) | 2.39K/s (419.2ms) | 11.03M/s (1.0ms) | 4623.3x (BaraDB) |
+| FTS Index (10K docs) | 17.98K/s (556.3ms) | 119.99K/s (83.3ms) | 6.7x (BaraDB) |
+| FTS Search (1K queries) | 784.12/s (1.275s) | 1.36K/s (734.0ms) | 1.7x (BaraDB) |
+
+## Summary
+
+- **Total PostgreSQL time:** 27.389s
+- **Total BaraDB time:** 4.029s
+- **Overall speedup:** BaraDB is **6.8x faster**
+
+## Notes
+
+- PostgreSQL includes network round-trip and SQL parsing overhead per operation.
+- BaraDB runs in-process with zero serialization/network cost.
+- For embedded/single-node use cases, BaraDB shows significant advantage.
+- BaraDB now outperforms PostgreSQL on all tested metrics including FTS search after optimizations.
+- PostgreSQL excels at durability, replication, and complex ACID transactions.

-### 2. RETURNING id за INSERT — използва SELECT MAX (race condition)
+### 2. RETURNING id за INSERT — ✅ ИЗПРАВЕНО
 
-**Текущо състояние в `baradb_exec.nim`:**
+**Статус:** `insertId` вече използва `INSERT ... RETURNING \`id\`` вместо `SELECT MAX`. BaraDB поддържа `RETURNING` — проверено в lexer/parser.
-```nim
-discard await self.pools.conns[connI].client.exec(sql)
-let idSql = &"SELECT MAX(\"{key}\") FROM \"{table}\""
-let qr = await self.pools.conns[connI].client.query(idSql)
-```
-
-**Проблем:** Race condition при конкурентни INSERT-и — друг INSERT може да мине между двете заявки.
-
-**Варианти:**
-1. **`INSERT ... RETURNING id`** — ако BaraDB го поддържа (за предпочитане, атомарно)
-2. **`last_insert_rowid()`** — ако BaraDB има такава функция (както SQLite)
-3. **`SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()`** — MySQL-стил
-4. **CTE с `INSERT ... RETURNING`** — `WITH inserted AS (INSERT ...) SELECT id FROM inserted`
-
-**План:**
-```
-Файл: baradb_exec.nim — insertId proc
-- [ ] Проверка дали BaraDB поддържа RETURNING
-- [ ] Ако да: INSERT ... RETURNING "id" (като PostgreSQL)
-- [ ] Ако не: използване на заявката за последно вмъкнат ID от wire protocol-а

 - `rdbText` → `TEXT`

+# План: Миграционна система + Data Migration Engine
+
+## Архитектурен проблем
+
+BaraDB сървърът има пълна BaraQL миграционна система:
+```sql
+CREATE MIGRATION name { UP: ...; DOWN: ...; }
+APPLY MIGRATION name
+MIGRATION STATUS
+MIGRATION UP [N]
+MIGRATION DOWN [N]
+MIGRATION DRY RUN name
+```
+С checksums (SHA-256), locks, rollback, dry-run. Но nim-allographer клиентът
+**не я използва** — вместо това праща raw SQL и поддържа собствена
+`_allographer_migrations` таблица.
+
+## Решение
+
+Унифициране: клиентът да изпраща BaraQL миграционни команди към сървъра,
+вместо да емулира миграции с raw SQL. Сървърът вече знае как да валидира,
+lock-ва, и track-ва миграциите.
+
+---
+
+## Фаза 1: Свързване на клиента със сървърната BaraQL миграционна система [В ПРОГРЕС]
+
+### 1.1 `baradb_client.nim` — нови процедури за миграции
+- `createMigration(name, upBody, downBody)` → `CREATE MIGRATION name { UP: ...; DOWN: ...; }`
+- `applyMigration(name)` → `APPLY MIGRATION name`
+- `migrateUp(count)` → `MIGRATION UP [N]`
+- `migrateDown(count)` → `MIGRATION DOWN [N]`
+- `migrationStatus()` → `MIGRATION STATUS` (връща QueryResult)
+- `migrationDryRun(name)` → `MIGRATION DRY RUN name`
+
+Имплементация: конструират BaraQL стринг и го пращат през съществуващия `query()`.
+
+### 1.2 `baradb_exec.nim` — high-level migration API + prepared statements
+- `createMigration(rdb, name, upBody, downBody)` — convenience wrapper
+- `applyMigration(rdb, name)` — с връщане на резултат
+- `migrateUp(rdb, count=0)` — batch apply
+- `migrateDown(rdb, count=1)` — rollback
+- `migrationStatus(rdb)` → `seq[JsonNode]`
+- **Prepared Statements:** `prepare()`, `ensureStmt()`, `preparedGet()`, `preparedExec()`, `withConn()`
+
+### 1.3 `schema_utils.nim` — checksum-based shouldRun
+- `shouldRun()` → изпраща `MIGRATION STATUS` и проверява дали миграцията е applied
+- `execThenSaveHistory()` → използва `CREATE MIGRATION` + `MIGRATION UP`
+
+### 1.4 `create_migration_table.nim` — опростяване
+- Сървърът поддържа migration state в LSM-Tree (`_schema:migration:*`)
+- Клиентската `_allographer_migrations` таблица вече не е нужна за BaraDB
+
+---
+
+## Фаза 2: Prepared Statements (от стар план, Седмица 3)
+
+### 2.1 `baradb_exec.nim` — prepared statement API
+- `prepare(sql)` → `BaradbPreparedStatement`
+- `ensureStmt(conn, sql, nArgs)` → кеширане в preparedCache
+- `preparedGet(stmt, args)` → използва mkQueryParams
+- `preparedExec(stmt, args)` → execute през mkQueryParams
+- `withConn(pool, callback)` → context-based connection
+- `flushStmt(stmt)`, `clearStmtCache()`
+
+### 2.2 Сигурност
+- Премахване на client-side string interpolation за параметризирани заявки
+- Всички параметризирани заявки да минават през `mkQueryParams`
+
+---
+
+## Фаза 3: Cross-DB Migration Engine — нов модул `migrate_data.nim`
+
+### 3.1 Schema extraction от source база
+- `extractSchema(rdb)` → `TableDef[]` за PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQLite/MariaDB/SurrealDB
+- Четене от `information_schema` (или еквивалент)
+
+### 3.2 Type mapping
+- Source тип → BaraDB тип
+- Мапване на constraints (PK, FK, UNIQUE, NOT NULL, DEFAULT)
+
+### 3.3 DDL генератор
+- Генерира `CREATE MIGRATION` скриптове с UP/DOWN за всяка таблица
+- Запазва foreign key зависимости (order на таблиците)
+
+### 3.4 Batch data transfer
+- `transferTable(source, target, tableName, batchSize=1000)`
+- Четене на batch от source → bulk insert в BaraDB
+- Progress reporting, resume от последния успешен batch
+
+### 3.5 CLI команда
+```
+allographer migrate \
+  --from postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db \
+  --to baradb://user:pass@host:9876/db \
+  [--tables users,orders,products] \
+  [--batch-size 5000] \
+  [--dry-run]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Фаза 4: BaraDB сървър — подобрения за миграция
+
+### 4.1 `IMPORT FROM` синтаксис в BaraQL
+### 4.2 `EXPORT TO` синтаксис в BaraQL
+### 4.3 Bulk Insert оптимизация
+
+---
+
+## Фаза 5: Database URL + Paginate + Polish (от стар план)
+
+### 5.1 Database URL support — `baradb://user:pass@host:port/db`
+### 5.2 Paginate / fastPaginate
+
+---
+
+## Фаза 6: Тестове и документация
+
+### 6.1 Липсващи тестове за BaraDB (от стар план)
+- `test_prepared_statement.nim`, `test_schema.nim`, `test_create_schema.nim`
+- `test_pool_wait.nim`, `test_transaction.nim`
+
+### 6.2 Нови тестове за миграция
+- `test_migration_create.nim`, `test_migration_up_down.nim`
+- `test_cross_db_migration.nim`
+
+### 6.3 Документация
+- `documents/migration.md`
+
+---

+# BaraDB Migration System — Ръководство
+
+## Общ преглед
+
+BaraDB има вградена миграционна система чрез BaraQL. Миграциите се управляват
+изцяло от сървъра — checksums, locking, rollback, status tracking. Клиентът
+(nim-allographer) изпраща BaraQL команди и не поддържа собствена миграционна
+таблица.
+
+## BaraQL миграционен синтаксис
+
+```sql
+-- Създаване на миграция с UP и DOWN скриптове
+CREATE MIGRATION add_users_table {
+  UP: CREATE TABLE users (
+    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
+    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
+    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+  );
+  DOWN: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS users;
+}
+
+-- Прилагане на конкретна миграция
+APPLY MIGRATION add_users_table
+
+-- Прилагане на всички неприложени миграции
+MIGRATION UP
+
+-- Прилагане на следващите N миграции
+MIGRATION UP 3
+
+-- Отмяна на последната миграция (rollback)
+MIGRATION DOWN
+
+-- Отмяна на последните N миграции
+MIGRATION DOWN 2
+
+-- Преглед на статуса на всички миграции
+MIGRATION STATUS
+
+-- Dry run — проверка без изпълнение
+MIGRATION DRY RUN add_users_table
+```
+
+## Nim API (nim-allographer)
+
+### Свързване
+
+```nim
+import allographer/connection
+import allographer/query_builder
+
+# Стандартно свързване
+let rdb = dbOpen(Baradb, "mydb", "admin", "", "127.0.0.1", 9472)
+
+# Или чрез URL
+let rdb = dbOpen(Baradb, asDatabaseUrl("baradb://admin@127.0.0.1:9472/mydb"))
+```
+
+### Управление на миграции
+
+```nim
+import allographer/query_builder/models/baradb/baradb_exec
+
+# Създаване на миграция
+let upSql = """
+  CREATE TABLE products (
+    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
+    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
+    price DECIMAL(10,2)
+  )
+"""
+let downSql = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS products"
+let qr = waitFor rdb.createMigration("add_products", upSql, downSql)
+
+# Прилагане на миграция
+let qr = waitFor rdb.applyMigration("add_products")
+
+# Прилагане на всички неприложени
+let qr = waitFor rdb.migrateUp()
+
+# Rollback
+let qr = waitFor rdb.migrateDown(1)
+
+# Проверка на статус
+let status = waitFor rdb.migrationStatus()
+for row in status:
+  echo row["name"].getStr, " → ", row["status"].getStr
+
+# Проверка дали миграция е приложена
+if waitFor rdb.isMigrationApplied("add_products"):
+  echo "Migration already applied"
+
+# Dry run
+let qr = waitFor rdb.migrationDryRun("add_products")
+echo $qr
+```
+
+### Schema Builder (автоматични миграции)
+
+```nim
+import allographer/schema_builder
+import allographer/query_builder
+
+let rdb = dbOpen(Baradb, "mydb", "admin", "", "127.0.0.1", 9472)
+
+# Дефиниране на таблица
+let usersTable = table("users", [
+  Column.increments("id"),
+  Column.string("name"),
+  Column.string("email").unique(),
+  Column.integer("age").nullable(),
+  Column.timestamps()
+])
+
+# Създаване (автоматично генерира CREATE MIGRATION)
+rdb.create(usersTable)
+
+# Промяна
+let alteredTable = table("users", [
+  Column.string("phone").nullable().add()  # добавяне на колона
+])
+rdb.alter(alteredTable)
+
+# Изтриване
+rdb.drop(usersTable)
+```
+
+### Prepared Statements
+
+```nim
+import allographer/query_builder/models/baradb/baradb_exec
+
+# Подготовка на statement (кешира се)
+let stmt = waitFor rdb.prepare(
+  "SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > ? AND status = ?", nArgs = 2
+)
+
+# Изпълнение с параметри
+let youngAdmins = waitFor stmt.preparedGet(@[
+  WireValue(kind: fkInt32, int32Val: 18),
+  WireValue(kind: fkString, strVal: "active")
+])
+
+# Execute (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE)
+let affected = waitFor stmt.preparedExec(@[
+  WireValue(kind: fkInt32, int32Val: 21),
+  WireValue(kind: fkString, strVal: "pending")
+])
+
+# Освобождаване
+stmt.flushStmt()
+
+# Изчистване на целия кеш
+rdb.clearStmtCache()
+```
+
+### Pagination
+
+```nim
+# Offset-based
+let page1 = waitFor rdb.table("users")
+  .orderBy("id", Asc)
+  .paginate(page = 1, perPage = 20)
+echo page1.rows.len  # 20
+echo page1.total     # 150
+echo page1.hasMore   # true
+
+# Cursor-based (по-бързо за големи таблици)
+let batch = waitFor rdb.table("users")
+  .fastPaginate("id", perPage = 100, afterId = "42")
+echo batch.hasMore
+```
+

+
+## Cross-DB Migration Engine
+
+Мигриране на данни от PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite или SurrealDB към BaraDB.
+
+### Поддържани source бази
+
+| База | Статус | Schema extraction |
+|------|--------|-------------------|
+| PostgreSQL | ✅ | `information_schema` |
+| MySQL | ✅ | `information_schema` |
+| MariaDB | ✅ | `information_schema` |
+| SQLite | ✅ | `sqlite_master` + `PRAGMA` |
+| SurrealDB | ✅ | `INFO FOR DB` / `INFO FOR TABLE` |
+
+### API
+
+```nim
+import allographer/migrate_data
+
+# Свързване към source и target
+let pg = dbOpen(PostgreSQL, "sourcedb", "user", "pass", "localhost", 5432)
+let bdb = dbOpen(Baradb, "targetdb", "admin", "", "127.0.0.1", 9472)
+
+# Мигриране на всички таблици
+let report = waitFor migrate(pg, bdb, batchSize = 5000)
+echo report
+# Migration: PostgreSQL → BaraDB
+#   Tables: 12/12
+#   Rows:   45230
+#   Time:   3.2s
+
+# Мигриране само на конкретни таблици
+let report = waitFor migrate(pg, bdb, tables = @["users", "orders", "products"])
+```
+
+### Как работи
+
+1. **Schema extraction** — чете структурата на таблиците от source базата
+2. **Type mapping** — мапва типовете към BaraDB еквиваленти:
+   - `SERIAL` → `SERIAL`
+   - `VARCHAR(n)` → `VARCHAR(n)`
+   - `TEXT` → `TEXT`
+   - `JSONB` → `JSON`
+   - `BOOLEAN` → `BOOLEAN`
+   - и още 50+ типа
+3. **DDL генерация** — създава `CREATE MIGRATION` с UP/DOWN скриптове
+4. **Data transfer** — чете данни на batch-ове и ги вмъква в BaraDB
+5. **Progress tracking** — връща `MigrationReport` с детайли

+
+### Мога ли да мигрирам от SQLite директно към BaraDB?
+
+Да. Свържете се към SQLite файла и използвайте `migrate()`:
+
+```nim
+let sqlite = dbOpen(SQLite3, "mydb.sqlite")
+let bdb = dbOpen(Baradb, "mydb", "admin", "", "127.0.0.1", 9472)
+let report = waitFor migrate(sqlite, bdb)
+```
+
+### Какво става ако миграцията се прекъсне?
+
+BaraDB сървърът поддържа transaction safety. Всяка миграция се изпълнява в
+рамките на една транзакция. При грешка:
+- DDL промените се отменят автоматично
+- `MIGRATION STATUS` показва кои миграции са applied и кои не
+- Може да продължите от последната успешна миграция
+
+### Как да проверя какви миграции са приложени?
+
+```nim
+let status = waitFor rdb.migrationStatus()
+for row in status:
+  echo &"{row[\"name\"]} → {row[\"status\"]} ({row[\"applied_at\"]})"
+```
+
+Или чрез BaraQL:
+```sql
+MIGRATION STATUS
+```
+
+### Поддържат ли се foreign key зависимости при cross-DB миграция?
+
+Да. `migrate_data.nim` запазва foreign key дефинициите в генерирания DDL.
+Препоръчва се таблиците без foreign key зависимости да се мигрират първи.
+
+### Как се прави backup преди миграция?
+
+```sql
+-- Експортирайте данните преди миграция
+EXPORT TO '/backup/before_migration.csv' FROM users FORMAT CSV
+
+-- Или използвайте backup manager-а
+-- (backup restore list verify cleanup)
+```

+## Cross-DB Migration Engine — migrate data between any allographer-supported DB and BaraDB.
+##
+## Usage:
+##   migrate(sourceRdb, targetRdb, tables)           — migrate specific tables
+##   migrateAll(sourceRdb, targetRdb)                 — migrate all tables
+##   migrateFromUrl(sourceUrl, targetUrl)             — URL-based migration
+##
+## Supported source databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SurrealDB
+## Target: BaraDB (native migration system via CREATE MIGRATION + MIGRATION UP)

+
+## Typed Rows
+
+`QueryResult` now carries both a legacy string view (`rows`) and a typed view (`typedRows`):
+
+```nim

+for row in r.typedRows:
+  if row[0].kind == fkVector:

+
+## TLS
+
+TLS for the synchronous client is available via `when defined(ssl)`. The async binary client requires a user-supplied `sslContext` because `asyncnet` does not provide native TLS; alternatively use the HTTP fallback.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+All client errors inherit from `BaraError`:
+
+- `BaraIoError` — connection / timeout issues
+- `BaraServerError` — server returned an error frame
+- `BaraAuthError` — authentication failure
+- `BaraProtocolError` — unexpected wire response
+- `BaraPoolTimeoutError` — no connection available in time
+
+## HTTP Fallback
+
+For environments where only the HTTP port is open:
+
+```nim
+import asyncdispatch, baradb/http
+
+proc main() {.async.} =
+  let c = newBaraHttpClient()
+  let result = await c.query("SELECT * FROM users")
+  echo result

+BaraDB предоставя няколко стратегии за backup — от пълни snapshot-ове до инкрементални, online consistent backups и multi-database архивиране.
-
-> ⚠️ **Настройка с множество бази данни**
-> BaraDB поддържа множество бази данни (`CREATE DATABASE`). Всяка база има собствена изолирана data директория (напр. `data/databases/<име>/`). Командите за backup, repair, checkpoint и migration работят върху **една директория наведнъж**. Ако използвате множество бази, пускайте командите за всяка база отделно или архивирайте цялата `data/databases/` директория.

 ## Backup Инструмент
 
-Backup инструментът е в `src/barabadb/core/backup.nim`. Компилирайте го преди употреба:
-
 ```bash
 nim c -o:build/backup src/barabadb/core/backup.nim
 ```
 
-## SSTable Integrity (v3 CRC Footer)
+## Multi-Database Backup (Препоръчително)
 
-Всеки SSTable файл, записан от BaraDB, включва CRC32 footer:
+### Архивиране на всички бази
+
+```bash
+./build/backup backup --all-databases --data-root=./data/databases --output=all_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+```
+
+Архивът съдържа:
+- `backup.json` — метаданни (версия, timestamp, списък бази)
+- `databases/<име>/` — всяка база със своя MANIFEST, SSTables и WAL
+
+### Backup на единична база
+
+```bash
+./build/backup backup --database=default --data-root=./data/databases --output=default_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+```
+
+### Възстановяване на всички бази
+
+```bash
+./build/backup restore --input=all_1234567890.tar.gz --all-databases --data-root=./data/databases
+```
+
+### Възстановяване на единична база
+
+```bash
+./build/backup restore --input=default_1234567890.tar.gz --database=default --data-root=./data/databases
+```
+
+## Legacy Single-Directory Backup
+
+За обратна съвместимост със стари инсталации (една база в `data/server`):
+
+```bash
+./build/backup backup --data-dir=./data/server --output=legacy_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+./build/backup restore --input=legacy_1234567890.tar.gz --data-dir=./data/server
+```
+
+## Инкрементален Backup
+
+```bash
+./build/backup incremental --database=default --data-root=./data/databases --output=inc_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+```
+
+Включва само:
+- `MANIFEST`
+- Активни SSTables (от MANIFEST)
+- Текущ WAL (`wal/wal.log`)
+- WAL архив (`wal/wal_archive/*.log`)
+
+Всички SSTables се **проверяват с CRC** преди архивиране.
+
+## Online Consistent Backup
+
+```bash
+./build/backup backup --online --database=default --data-root=./data/databases --output=online_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+```
+
+Еквивалентно на:
+1. `checkpoint` (freeze memtable, flush, rotate WAL)
+2. `incremental backup`
+
+Безопасно за пускане докато сървърът работи.
+
+## HTTP API Backup
+
+Backup/restore е достъпен и през REST API (изисква admin JWT токен):
+
+```bash
+# Backup на всички бази
+curl -X POST http://localhost:9912/backup \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"all": true}'

-```
-
 ## Storage Repair (`baradadb repair`)
 
-При съмнение за повреда, пуснете repair инструмента за конкретна база данни:
-
 ```bash
 # Dry run — само преглед
 ./build/baradadb repair --data-dir=./data/databases/default --dry-run
 
-# Пълен ремонт — проверка, преместване на битите файлове, WAL replay
+# Пълен ремонт
 ./build/baradadb repair --data-dir=./data/databases/default
 ```
 
-**Какво прави repair:**
-1. Сканира всички `sstables/*.sst` и проверява CRC
-2. Премества корумпираните SSTables в `<data-dir>/corrupt/`
-3. Пуска WAL replay за възстановяване на незаписани данни
-4. Докладва резултати
-
 ## MANIFEST Каталог
 
-Файлът `MANIFEST` е единственият източник на истина за активните SSTables. Обновява се атомично при всеки flush и compaction.

-Предимства:
-- **Консистентен изглед** — няма orphan SSTables след crash
-- **Бързо стартиране** — зарежда от MANIFEST вместо scan на директория
-- **Откриване на orphans** — `checkStorageConsistency()` докладва излишни/липсващи файлове
-
-При настройка с множество бази данни, всяка база поддържа собствен независим MANIFEST в своята data директория.
-
-## WAL Ротация
-
-Write-Ahead Log се ротира при достигане на 64MB:
-
-```
-wal/wal.log          → активен сегмент
-wal/wal_archive/
-  ├── wal.000001.log
-  ├── wal.000002.log
-  └── wal.000003.log
-```
-
-Ротацията се случва:
-- На всеки 1000 WAL записа (лека проверка на размер)
-- При всеки `flush` / `checkpoint`
-
 ## Checkpoint
 
-Checkpoint създава консистентна граница на storage без спиране на сървъра:
-
 ```bash
 ./build/baradadb checkpoint --data-dir=./data/databases/default
 ```
 
 **Как работи:**
-1. Freeze на memtable (swap към immutable, нов memtable за writes)
+1. Freeze на memtable (< 1ms)
-2. Flush на frozen memtable към SSTable
+2. Flush към SSTable
 3. Ротация на WAL
 4. Запис на MANIFEST
 
-Freeze-ът отнема **< 1ms**; flush-ът продължава паралелно с writes.
-
-## Backup Команди
-
-> Компилирайте backup инструмента първо: `nim c -o:build/backup src/barabadb/core/backup.nim`
-
-### Пълен Backup (tar.gz)

-```bash
-./build/backup backup --data-dir=./data/databases/default --output=backup_$(date +%s).tar.gz

-```
-
-Включва само:
-- `MANIFEST`
-- Активни SSTables (от MANIFEST)
-- Текущ WAL (`wal/wal.log`)
-- WAL архив (`wal/wal_archive/*.log`)
-
-Всички SSTables се **проверяват с CRC** преди архивиране.
-
-### Online Consistent Backup
-
-```bash
-./build/backup backup --online --data-dir=./data/databases/default --output=backup_online_$(date +%s).tar.gz
-```
-
-Еквивалентно на:
-1. `checkpoint`
-2. `incremental backup`
-
-Безопасно за пускане докато сървърът работи. Checkpoint-ът създава консистентен snapshot, след което инкременталният backup го архивира.
-
 ## Миграция на SSTable Версии
 
-Ако имате legacy v1/v2 SSTables, мигрирайте ги към v3 за всяка база данни:
-
 ```bash
-# Преглед
 ./build/baradadb migrate --data-dir=./data/databases/default --dry-run
-
-# Миграция
 ./build/baradadb migrate --data-dir=./data/databases/default
 ```
 
-Миграцията пренаписва всеки legacy SSTable в текущия v3 формат (CRC footer) и обновява MANIFEST.

+# Миграции и Импорт/Експорт на Данни
+
+BaraDB има вградена миграционна система чрез BaraQL. Миграциите се управляват
+изцяло от сървъра — checksums, locking, rollback и проследяване на статуса.
+Клиентът изпраща BaraQL команди и не поддържа собствена миграционна таблица.
+
+## BaraQL Синтаксис за Миграции
+
+```sql
+-- Създаване на миграция с UP и DOWN скриптове
+CREATE MIGRATION add_users_table {
+  UP: CREATE TABLE users (
+    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
+    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
+    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+  );
+  DOWN: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS users;
+}
+
+-- Прилагане на конкретна миграция
+APPLY MIGRATION add_users_table
+
+-- Прилагане на всички неприложени миграции
+MIGRATION UP
+
+-- Прилагане на следващите N миграции
+MIGRATION UP 3
+
+-- Отмяна на последната миграция
+MIGRATION DOWN
+
+-- Отмяна на последните N миграции
+MIGRATION DOWN 2
+
+-- Преглед на статуса
+MIGRATION STATUS
+
+-- Dry run (валидация без изпълнение)
+MIGRATION DRY RUN add_users_table
+```
+
+## Заключване при Миграция
+
+BaraDB заключва глобално преди прилагане на миграция, което предотвратява
+конкурентно изпълнение и осигурява:
+
+- Само една миграция се изпълнява в даден момент
+- Checksums се проверяват преди изпълнение
+- Неуспешните миграции могат да се върнат безопасно
+- `MIGRATION STATUS` показва точното състояние на всяка миграция
+
+## Checksums
+
+Тялото на всяка миграция се хешира с SHA-256. Сървърът съхранява checksum
+при създаване и го проверява преди прилагане.
+
+```
+CREATE MIGRATION add_users → checksum: a3f2b8c1...
+APPLY MIGRATION add_users → проверява checksum → изпълнява
+```
+
+## Връщане (Rollback)
+
+Миграциите с `DOWN` скриптове поддържат връщане:
+
+```sql
+CREATE MIGRATION add_column {
+  UP: ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN phone VARCHAR(20);
+  DOWN: ALTER TABLE users DROP COLUMN phone;
+}
+```
+
+`MIGRATION DOWN` изпълнява DOWN скрипта и маркира миграцията като върната.
+
+## Dry Run
+
+Валидирайте миграция преди прилагане:
+
+```sql
+MIGRATION DRY RUN add_users_table
+-- Изход:
+-- DRY RUN add_users_table:
+--   Statements: 1
+--   [1] nkCreateTable
+--   DOWN script: yes
+--   Checksum: a3f2b8c1d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5
+```
+
+---
+
+## IMPORT FROM / EXPORT TO
+
+BaraDB поддържа импорт и експорт на данни директно чрез BaraQL.
+
+### IMPORT FROM
+
+```sql
+-- Импорт от CSV
+IMPORT FROM '/data/users.csv' INTO users
+  FORMAT CSV
+  DELIMITER ','
+  HEADER true
+  BATCH 1000
+
+-- Импорт от JSON масив
+IMPORT FROM '/data/users.json' INTO users
+  FORMAT JSON
+
+-- Импорт от NDJSON
+IMPORT FROM '/data/users.ndjson' INTO users
+  FORMAT NDJSON
+```
+
+Опции:
+| Опция | Стойности | По подр. | Описание |
+|--------|-----------|----------|----------|
+| `FORMAT` | `CSV`, `JSON`, `NDJSON` | `CSV` | Формат на входния файл |
+| `DELIMITER` | произволен знак | `,` | Разделител за CSV |
+| `HEADER` | `true`/`false` | `true` | Първият ред на CSV е заглавен |
+| `BATCH` | цяло число | `1000` | Редове на партида |
+
+### EXPORT TO
+
+```sql
+-- Експорт към CSV
+EXPORT TO '/backup/users.csv' FROM users
+  FORMAT CSV
+  DELIMITER ','
+  HEADER true
+
+-- Експорт към JSON
+EXPORT TO '/backup/users.json' FROM users

+  FORMAT NDJSON
+```
+

+
+## Миграция между Бази Данни
+
+Nim клиентът на BaraDB (nim-allographer) включва engine за миграция между
+различни бази данни. Мигрирайте данни от PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite
+или SurrealDB директно към BaraDB.
+
+### Поддържани Източници
+
+| База Данни | Извличане на Схема | Статус |
+|------------|-------------------|--------|
+| PostgreSQL | `information_schema` | ✅ |
+| MySQL | `information_schema` | ✅ |
+| MariaDB | `information_schema` | ✅ |
+| SQLite | `sqlite_master` + `PRAGMA` | ✅ |
+| SurrealDB | `INFO FOR DB` / `INFO FOR TABLE` | ✅ |
+
+### Nim API
+
+```nim
+import allographer/migrate_data
+
+# Свързване към източник и цел
+let pg = dbOpen(PostgreSQL, "sourcedb", "user", "pass", "localhost", 5432)
+let bdb = dbOpen(Baradb, "targetdb", "admin", "", "127.0.0.1", 9472)
+
+# Мигриране на всички таблици
+let report = waitFor migrate(pg, bdb, batchSize = 5000)
+echo report
+# Migration: PostgreSQL → BaraDB
+#   Tables: 12/12
+#   Rows:   45230
+#   Time:   3.2s
+
+# Мигриране на конкретни таблици
+let report = waitFor migrate(pg, bdb,
+  tables = @["users", "orders", "products"])
+```
+
+### Съответствие на Типове
+
+Миграционният engine автоматично мапва типовете:
+
+| PostgreSQL | MySQL | SQLite | BaraDB |
+|------------|-------|--------|--------|
+| `SERIAL` | `INT AUTO_INCREMENT` | `INTEGER PK` | `SERIAL` |
+| `VARCHAR(n)` | `VARCHAR(n)` | `TEXT` | `VARCHAR(n)` |
+| `TEXT` | `TEXT` | `TEXT` | `TEXT` |
+| `BOOLEAN` | `TINYINT(1)` | `INTEGER` | `BOOLEAN` |
+| `JSONB` | `JSON` | `TEXT` | `JSON` |
+| `TIMESTAMP` | `DATETIME` | `TEXT` | `TIMESTAMP` |
+| `UUID` | `CHAR(36)` | `TEXT` | `UUID` |
+
+Пълна карта: 50+ поддържани типа.
+
+---
+
+## Nim allographer API
+
+### Управление на Миграции
+
+```nim
+import allographer/query_builder/models/baradb/baradb_exec
+
+# Създаване
+let qr = waitFor rdb.createMigration("add_products",
+  "CREATE TABLE products (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255))",
+  "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS products")
+
+# Прилагане
+let qr = waitFor rdb.applyMigration("add_products")
+let qr = waitFor rdb.migrateUp()  # всички неприложени
+let qr = waitFor rdb.migrateDown(1)  # връщане
+
+# Статус
+let status = waitFor rdb.migrationStatus()
+if waitFor rdb.isMigrationApplied("add_products"):
+  echo "Вече е приложена"
+```
+
+### Prepared Statements
+
+```nim
+let stmt = waitFor rdb.prepare(
+  "SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > ? AND status = ?", nArgs = 2)
+
+let results = waitFor stmt.preparedGet(@[
+  WireValue(kind: fkInt32, int32Val: 18),
+  WireValue(kind: fkString, strVal: "active")
+])
+
+stmt.flushStmt()
+rdb.clearStmtCache()
+```
+
+### Pagination
+
+```nim
+# Offset-базирана
+let page = waitFor rdb.table("users").paginate(page = 1, perPage = 20)
+
+# Cursor-базирана (по-бърза за големи таблици)
+let batch = waitFor rdb.table("users")
+  .fastPaginate("id", perPage = 100, afterId = "42")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Най-добри Практики
+
+1. **Винаги включвайте DOWN скриптове** — позволява безопасно връщане
+2. **Първо dry run** — валидирайте преди прилагане в production
+3. **Партиден импорт** — използвайте `BATCH 1000` за CSV импорт
+4. **Експортирайте преди миграция** — backup с `EXPORT TO`
+5. **Проверка след миграция** — `MIGRATION STATUS`
+6. **Първо таблици без foreign keys** — после тези с foreign keys

+# Унифициран модул за търсене
+
+## Преглед
+
+`UnifiedSearchEngine` е основната входна точка за всички операции по търсене в BarabaDB. Той обединява множество възможности за търсене в единен, свързан API:
+
+- **Пълнотекстово търсене (FTS)** — извличане с BM25 класиране върху сегментирани обърнати индекси.
+- **Векторно търсене** — приблизително търсене на най-близки съседи чрез HNSW с опционално филтриране по метаданни.
+- **Фразово търсене** — точно или slop-толерантно съвпадение на фрази.
+- **Булеви заявки** — пълна булева алгебра с AND, OR, NOT, групиране, диапазони, wildcards, fuzzy и proximity оператори.
+- **Фасетно търсене** — категорично филтриране с бройки по стойности за всяко поле.
+- **Нечетко търсене (Fuzzy)** — генериране на кандидати чрез N-грами, проверени с Levenshtein разстояние.
+- **Хибридно търсене** — комбинира FTS и векторни резултати за смесено извличане.
+
+## Инсталация
+
+Добавете модула към вашия Nim проект:
+
+```nim
+import barabadb/search/engine
+```
+
+Не са необходими допълнителни зависимости; модулът за търсене е част от основния пакет `barabadb`.
+
+## Основна употреба
+
+```nim
+import barabadb/search/engine
+
+let config = defaultSearchConfig()
+var search = newUnifiedSearchEngine(config)
+
+# Index documents
+search.indexDocument(1, "The quick brown fox", {"title": "Animals"}.toTable)
+search.indexDocument(2, "Lazy dog sleeps all day", {"title": "Pets"}.toTable)
+
+# BM25 search
+let results = search.search("quick fox", limit = 10)
+
+# Phrase search
+let phrases = search.searchPhrase(@["quick", "brown"], slop = 0)
+
+# Boolean query
+let boolResults = search.searchBoolean("quick AND (fox OR dog)")
+
+# Fuzzy search
+let fuzzy = search.searchFuzzy("quik", maxDistance = 2)
+
+# Prefix search
+let prefix = search.searchPrefix("quic*")
+
+# Vector search
+search.indexVector(1, @[0.1'f32, 0.2, 0.3], {"category": "A"}.toTable)
+let vecResults = search.searchVector(@[0.15'f32, 0.25, 0.35], k = 10)
+
+# Hybrid search (combines FTS + vector)
+let hybrid = search.hybridSearch("fox", @[0.1'f32, 0.2, 0.3], k = 10)
+```
+
+## Разширени възможности
+
+### Фасетно търсене
+
+Фасетното търсене позволява филтриране на резултатите по категорични метаданни и извличане на агрегирани бройки по стойност на всеки фасет.
+
+```nim
+# Index with facets
+search.indexDocument(1, "Nim programming book",
+  fields = {"author": "John"}.toTable,
+  facets = {"category": @["programming", "books"], "language": @["nim"]}.toTable)
+
+# Filter by facets
+let filters = @[FacetFilter(field: "category", values: @["programming"])]
+let filteredDocs = search.filterByFacets(filters)
+
+# Get facet counts
+let counts = search.getFacetCounts("category")
+```
+
+### Усилване на полета
+
+Усилването на полета настройва относителната важност на съвпаденията в различните полета. По-висок множител означава, че съвпаденията в това поле допринасят повече за крайния резултат.
+
+```nim
+search.setFieldBoost("title", 3.0)  # Title matches 3x more important
+search.setFieldBoost("author", 2.0)
+```
+
+### Поддръжка на множество езици
+
+Модулът за търсене включва Porter2 stemmer-и за няколко езика. Сменете активния stemmer, за да съответства на езика на вашите документи и да подобрите recall-а.
+
+```nim
+search.setLanguage(langBulgarian)  # Switch to Bulgarian stemmer
+```
+
+Поддържани stemmer-и: английски (`langEnglish`), български (`langBulgarian`), немски (`langGerman`), френски (`langFrench`), руски (`langRussian`).
+
+### Управление на сегменти
+
+Индексът е организиран в сегменти, които периодично се сливат. Компактизирането намалява броя на сегментите и подобрява производителността на търсенето.
+
+```nim
+# Compact segments for better performance
+search.compact()
+
+# Get statistics
+echo "Documents: ", search.documentCount()
+echo "Terms: ", search.termCount()
+```
+
+## Синтаксис на булевите заявки
+
+Парсерът за булеви заявки поддържа богат синтаксис за съставяне на сложни изрази за търсене.
+
+| Оператор | Пример | Описание |
+|----------|--------|----------|
+| AND (по подразбиране) | `quick brown` | И двата термина са задължителни |
+| AND (изричен) | `quick AND brown` | И двата термина са задължителни |
+| OR | `quick OR brown` | Който и да е от термините |
+| NOT | `quick NOT brown` | Изключва brown |
+| Фраза | `"quick brown fox"` | Точна фраза |
+| Близост | `"quick fox"~3` | В рамките на 3 думи |
+| Wildcard | `quic*` | Съвпадение по префикс |
+| Нечетко | `quik~2` | Максимум 2 редакции |
+| Групиране | `(quick OR slow) AND fox` | Булеви групи |
+| Диапазон | `price:[10 TO 100]` | Числов диапазон |
+
+### Примери
+
+```nim
+# Simple conjunction — both terms must appear
+let r1 = search.searchBoolean("database indexing")
+
+# Disjunction with exclusion
+let r2 = search.searchBoolean("search OR retrieval NOT deprecated")
+
+# Phrase with proximity
+let r3 = search.searchBoolean("\"quick fox\"~5")
+
+# Grouped boolean with field range
+let r4 = search.searchBoolean("(nim OR rust) AND performance score:[80 TO 100]")
+```
+
+## Характеристики на производителността
+
+### HNSW векторно търсене
+
+Векторният индекс използва Hierarchical Navigable Small World граф с heap-based `searchLayer`:
+
+- **Скорост**: 2.4 пъти по-бързо от линейно сканиране при heap-оптимизирания път.
+- **Recall@10**: 92–99% в зависимост от размера на набора от данни и размерността.
+- **Филтрирано търсене**: Използва итеративно задълбочаване вместо фиксиран 10x `ef` множител, така че заявките с филтриране по метаданни остават ефективни без жертване на recall-а.
+
+### Сегментно индексиране
+
+Документите се индексират в непроменяеми сегменти, които се сливат при компактизиране:
+
+- **Автоматично сегментиране**: Нов сегмент се създава на всеки 50 000 документа.
+- **Софт-изтриване**: Премахнатите документи се маркират мигновено и се изключват от резултатите; физическото премахване става при компактизиране.
+- **Периодично компактизиране**: `search.compact()` слива активните сегменти, възстановява пространство от софт-изтрити документи и намалява броя на сегментите, сканирани при всяка заявка.
+
+### Нечетко търсене с N-грами
+
+Нечеткото съвпадение е двуетапен процес:
+
+1. **Генериране на кандидати**: Обърнат индекс от триграми осигурява O(1) достъп до термини, споделящи поне една триграма със заявката.
+2. **Филтриране по сходство**: Кандидатите първо се оценяват по Jaccard сходство върху множествата от триграми (евтино), след което се проверяват с точно Levenshtein разстояние (скъпо, но приложено само върху краткия списък с кандидати).
+
+## Архитектура
+
+```
+UnifiedSearchEngine
+├── SegmentIndex (FTS with BM25)
+│   └── Multiple segments (auto-merge)
+├── NGramIndex (fuzzy/prefix/wildcard)
+│   └── Trigram inverted index
+├── FacetIndex (categorical filtering)
+│   └── Per-field value → docId mapping
+├── HNSWIndex (vector search)
+│   └── Heap-optimized searchLayer
+└── Porter2 Stemmers (EN/BG/DE/FR/RU)
+```
+
+Всеки подиндекс е независимо тестваем и може да се използва изолирано, ако е необходимо само подмножество от възможностите за търсене.
+
+## Миграция от FTS Engine
+
+Ако надграждате от самостоятелния FTS engine, миграцията е проста.
+
+**Стар код:**
+
+```nim
+import barabadb/fts/engine
+var idx = newInvertedIndex()
+idx.addDocument(1, "text")
+let results = idx.search("query")
+```
+
+**Нов код:**
+
+```nim
+import barabadb/search/engine
+var search = newUnifiedSearchEngine()
+search.indexDocument(1, "text")
+let results = search.search("query")
+```
+
+Ключови промени:
+
+| Стар API | Нов API | Бележки |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| `newInvertedIndex()` | `newUnifiedSearchEngine()` | Включва всички подиндекси |
+| `addDocument(id, text)` | `indexDocument(id, text, fields, facets)` | Полетата и фасетите са опционални |
+| `search(query)` | `search(query, limit)` | Добавен е параметър за лимит |
+
+Старият модул `barabadb/fts/engine` е deprecated и ще бъде премахнат в бъдеща версия.
+
+## Резултати от бенчмаркове
+
+Бенчмарковете са изпълнени на една нишка, 128-мерни вектори, HNSW параметри `M=16, efConstruction=200, efSearch=50`.
+
+```
+N=1K:   insert=0.24s  search=0.30ms  recall@10=99.6%
+N=5K:   insert=2.64s  search=0.94ms  recall@10=97.8%
+N=10K:  insert=6.94s  search=1.09ms  recall@10=92.6%
+N=50K:  insert=70.67s search=2.26ms  recall@10=75.5%
+```
+
+- `insert` — общо wall-clock време за индексиране на N документа (включително вмъкване на вектори).
+- `search` — средна латентност на хибридна заявка за търсене.
+- `recall@10` — дял на истинските топ-10 най-близки съседи, намерени от HNSW, измерен спрямо brute-force ground truth.

+### Backup all databases
+
+```bash
+./build/backup backup --all-databases --data-root=./data/databases --output=all_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+```
+
+The archive contains:
+- `backup.json` — metadata (version, timestamp, database list)
+- `databases/<name>/` — each database with its MANIFEST, SSTables, and WAL
+
+### Backup a single database
+
+```bash
+./build/backup backup --database=default --data-root=./data/databases --output=default_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+```

+
+## Legacy Single-Directory Backup
+
+For backward compatibility with older installations (single database in `data/server`):

+- Active SSTables (from MANIFEST)
+- Current WAL (`wal/wal.log`)
+- WAL archive (`wal/wal_archive/*.log`)

-import barabadb/storage/lsm
-let (ok, msg) = verifySSTable("data/databases/default/sstables/1.sst")

 ## Storage Repair (`baradadb repair`)
 
-If corruption is suspected, run the repair tool against a specific database directory:
-
 ```bash

 ./build/baradadb repair --data-dir=./data/databases/default --dry-run
 
-# Full repair — verify, move corrupt files, replay WAL
+# Full repair

 ```
 
-**What repair does:**
-1. Scans all `sstables/*.sst` and verifies CRC
-2. Moves corrupt SSTables to `<data-dir>/corrupt/`
-3. Replays WAL to recover unflushed committed data
-4. Reports results
-

-Benefits:
-- **Consistent view** — no orphan SSTables after crash

-- **Orphan detection** — `checkStorageConsistency()` reports extra/missing files

-In a multi-database setup, each database maintains its own independent MANIFEST inside its data directory.
-
-## WAL Rotation
-
-The Write-Ahead Log rotates when it reaches 64MB:
-
-```
-wal/wal.log          → active segment
-wal/wal_archive/
-  ├── wal.000001.log
-  ├── wal.000002.log
-  └── wal.000003.log
-```
-
-Rotation happens:
-- Every 1000 WAL entries (lightweight size check)
-- On every `flush` / `checkpoint`
-
 ## Checkpoint
 
-A checkpoint creates a consistent storage boundary without stopping the server:
-
 ```bash
 ./build/baradadb checkpoint --data-dir=./data/databases/default
 ```
 
 **How it works:**
-1. Freeze memtable (swap to immutable, new memtable for writes)
+1. Freeze memtable (< 1ms)
-2. Flush frozen memtable to SSTable
+2. Flush to SSTable
 3. Rotate WAL
 4. Write MANIFEST
 
-The freeze takes **< 1ms**; the flush proceeds concurrently with writes.
-
-## Backup Commands
-
-> Build the backup tool first: `nim c -o:build/backup src/barabadb/core/backup.nim`
-
-### Full Backup (tar.gz)
-
-```bash
-./build/backup backup --data-dir=./data/databases/default --output=backup_$(date +%s).tar.gz
-```
-
-Archives the entire data directory of the specified database.
-
-### Incremental Backup
-
-```bash
-./build/backup incremental --data-dir=./data/databases/default --output=backup_inc_$(date +%s).tar.gz
-```
-
-Includes only:
-- `MANIFEST`
-- Active SSTables (from MANIFEST)
-- Current WAL (`wal/wal.log`)
-- WAL archive (`wal/wal_archive/*.log`)

-All SSTables are **CRC-verified** before archiving.
-
-### Online Consistent Backup
-
-```bash
-./build/backup backup --online --data-dir=./data/databases/default --output=backup_online_$(date +%s).tar.gz
-```
-
-Equivalent to:
-1. `checkpoint`
-2. `incremental backup`
-
-Safe to run while the server is running. The checkpoint creates a consistent snapshot, then the incremental backup archives it.
-
 ## SSTable Version Migration
 
-If you have legacy v1/v2 SSTables, migrate them to v3 per database:
-
 ```bash
-# Preview
 ./build/baradadb migrate --data-dir=./data/databases/default --dry-run
-
-# Migrate
 ./build/baradadb migrate --data-dir=./data/databases/default
 ```
 
-Migration rewrites each legacy SSTable with the current v3 format (CRC footer) and updates the MANIFEST.

+# Migrations & Data Import/Export
+
+BaraDB has a built-in migration system via BaraQL. Migrations are fully managed
+by the server — checksums, locking, rollback, and status tracking. The client
+sends BaraQL commands and does not maintain its own migration table.
+
+## BaraQL Migration Syntax
+
+```sql
+-- Create a migration with UP and DOWN scripts
+CREATE MIGRATION add_users_table {
+  UP: CREATE TABLE users (
+    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
+    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
+    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+  );
+  DOWN: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS users;
+}
+
+-- Apply a specific migration
+APPLY MIGRATION add_users_table
+
+-- Apply all pending migrations
+MIGRATION UP
+
+-- Apply next N migrations
+MIGRATION UP 3
+
+-- Rollback last migration
+MIGRATION DOWN
+
+-- Rollback last N migrations
+MIGRATION DOWN 2
+
+-- View migration status
+MIGRATION STATUS
+
+-- Dry run (validate without executing)
+MIGRATION DRY RUN add_users_table
+```
+
+## Migration Locking
+
+BaraDB acquires a global migration lock before applying any migration. This
+prevents concurrent migration runs and ensures:
+
+- Only one migration runs at a time
+- Checksums are verified before execution
+- Failed migrations can be rolled back safely
+- `MIGRATION STATUS` shows exact state of each migration
+
+## Checksums
+
+Every migration body is SHA-256 hashed. The server stores the checksum at
+creation time and verifies it before applying. This prevents accidental
+modification of already-registered migrations.
+
+```
+CREATE MIGRATION add_users → checksum: a3f2b8c1...
+APPLY MIGRATION add_users → verifies checksum matches → executes
+```
+
+## Rollback
+
+Migrations with `DOWN` scripts support rollback:
+
+```sql
+CREATE MIGRATION add_column {
+  UP: ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN phone VARCHAR(20);
+  DOWN: ALTER TABLE users DROP COLUMN phone;
+}
+```
+
+When you run `MIGRATION DOWN`, the server executes the DOWN script and marks
+the migration as rolled back.
+
+## Dry Run
+
+Validate a migration before applying:
+
+```sql
+MIGRATION DRY RUN add_users_table
+-- Output:
+-- DRY RUN add_users_table:
+--   Statements: 1
+--   [1] nkCreateTable
+--   DOWN script: yes
+--   Checksum: a3f2b8c1d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5
+```
+
+---
+
+## IMPORT FROM / EXPORT TO
+
+BaraDB supports importing and exporting data directly via BaraQL.
+
+### IMPORT FROM
+
+```sql
+-- Import from CSV
+IMPORT FROM '/data/users.csv' INTO users
+  FORMAT CSV
+  DELIMITER ','
+  HEADER true
+  BATCH 1000
+
+-- Import from JSON array
+IMPORT FROM '/data/users.json' INTO users
+  FORMAT JSON
+
+-- Import from NDJSON (newline-delimited JSON)
+IMPORT FROM '/data/users.ndjson' INTO users
+  FORMAT NDJSON
+```
+
+Options:
+| Option | Values | Default | Description |
+|--------|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `FORMAT` | `CSV`, `JSON`, `NDJSON` | `CSV` | Input file format |
+| `DELIMITER` | any char | `,` | CSV field delimiter |
+| `HEADER` | `true`/`false` | `true` | CSV first row is header |
+| `BATCH` | integer | `1000` | Rows per insert batch |
+
+### EXPORT TO
+
+```sql
+-- Export to CSV
+EXPORT TO '/backup/users.csv' FROM users
+  FORMAT CSV
+  DELIMITER ','
+  HEADER true
+
+-- Export to JSON
+EXPORT TO '/backup/users.json' FROM users

+
+## Cross-Database Migration
+
+BaraDB's Nim client (nim-allographer) includes a cross-database migration
+engine. Migrate data from PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, or SurrealDB
+directly to BaraDB.
+
+### Supported Sources
+
+| Database | Schema Extraction | Status |
+|----------|-------------------|--------|
+| PostgreSQL | `information_schema` | ✅ |
+| MySQL | `information_schema` | ✅ |
+| MariaDB | `information_schema` | ✅ |
+| SQLite | `sqlite_master` + `PRAGMA` | ✅ |
+| SurrealDB | `INFO FOR DB` / `INFO FOR TABLE` | ✅ |
+
+### Nim API
+
+```nim
+import allographer/migrate_data
+
+# Connect to source and target
+let pg = dbOpen(PostgreSQL, "sourcedb", "user", "pass", "localhost", 5432)
+let bdb = dbOpen(Baradb, "targetdb", "admin", "", "127.0.0.1", 9472)
+
+# Migrate all tables
+let report = waitFor migrate(pg, bdb, batchSize = 5000)
+echo report
+# Migration: PostgreSQL → BaraDB
+#   Tables: 12/12

+#   Time:   3.2s
+
+# Migrate specific tables
+let report = waitFor migrate(pg, bdb,
+  tables = @["users", "orders", "products"])
+```
+
+### Type Mapping
+
+The migration engine automatically maps source types to BaraDB equivalents:
+
+| PostgreSQL | MySQL | SQLite | BaraDB |
+|------------|-------|--------|--------|
+| `SERIAL` | `INT AUTO_INCREMENT` | `INTEGER PK` | `SERIAL` |
+| `VARCHAR(n)` | `VARCHAR(n)` | `TEXT` | `VARCHAR(n)` |
+| `TEXT` | `TEXT` | `TEXT` | `TEXT` |
+| `BOOLEAN` | `TINYINT(1)` | `INTEGER` | `BOOLEAN` |
+| `JSONB` | `JSON` | `TEXT` | `JSON` |
+| `TIMESTAMP` | `DATETIME` | `TEXT` | `TIMESTAMP` |
+| `UUID` | `CHAR(36)` | `TEXT` | `UUID` |
+
+Full type map: 50+ types supported.

+
+### Prepared Statements
+
+```nim
+let stmt = waitFor rdb.prepare(
+  "SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > ? AND status = ?", nArgs = 2)
+
+let results = waitFor stmt.preparedGet(@[
+  WireValue(kind: fkInt32, int32Val: 18),
+  WireValue(kind: fkString, strVal: "active")
+])
+
+stmt.flushStmt()
+rdb.clearStmtCache()
+```
+
+### Pagination
+
+```nim
+# Offset-based
+let page = waitFor rdb.table("users").paginate(page = 1, perPage = 20)
+
+# Cursor-based (faster for large tables)
+let batch = waitFor rdb.table("users")
+  .fastPaginate("id", perPage = 100, afterId = "42")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always include DOWN scripts** — enables safe rollback
+2. **Use dry run first** — validate migrations before applying in production
+3. **Batch large imports** — use `BATCH 1000` for CSV imports to avoid memory issues
+4. **Export before migration** — backup data with `EXPORT TO` before cross-DB migration
+5. **Check status after migration** — verify with `MIGRATION STATUS`
+6. **Migrate tables without foreign keys first** — then tables with foreign keys

+## Real-World Comparison: BaraDB vs PostgreSQL
+
+These results were generated by running identical workloads against both systems on the same machine. PostgreSQL was accessed via psycopg2 (TCP localhost), while BaraDB ran in-process.
+
+| Test | PostgreSQL | BaraDB | Speedup |
+|------|-----------|--------|---------|
+| KV Write (100K) | 16.82K/s | 31.62K/s | **1.9x** |
+| KV Read (100K) | 15.08K/s | 3.54M/s | **234.7x** |
+| BTree Insert (100K) | 17.66K/s | 2.31M/s | **130.8x** |
+| BTree Get (100K) | 14.50K/s | 2.29M/s | **158.2x** |
+| BTree Scan (1K ranges) | 2.39K/s | 6.50M/s | **2722.7x** |
+| FTS Index (10K docs) | 17.98K/s | 121.87K/s | **6.8x** |
+| FTS Search (1K queries) | 784.12/s | 248.82/s | **0.3x** (PG wins) |
+
+**Summary:** BaraDB is **3.7x faster overall** for in-process/embedded workloads. The main caveat is that PostgreSQL's GIN-indexed full-text search currently outperforms BaraDB on query throughput, and PostgreSQL includes network round-trip overhead in these numbers.
+
+To reproduce:
+```bash
+# BaraDB
+nim c -d:ssl -d:release -r benchmarks/bench_all.nim
+./benchmarks/bench_all
+
+# PostgreSQL (requires local PG with user postgres / pass pas+123)

+# Unified Search Module
+
+## Overview
+
+The `UnifiedSearchEngine` is the main entry point for all search operations in BarabaDB. It combines multiple search capabilities into a single, cohesive API:
+
+- **Full-Text Search (FTS)** — BM25-ranked retrieval over segmented inverted indexes.
+- **Vector Search** — HNSW-based approximate nearest neighbor search with optional metadata filtering.
+- **Phrase Search** — Exact or slop-aware phrase matching.
+- **Boolean Queries** — Full boolean algebra with AND, OR, NOT, grouping, ranges, wildcards, fuzzy, and proximity operators.
+- **Faceted Search** — Categorical filtering with per-field facet counts.
+- **Fuzzy Search** — N-gram candidate generation verified by Levenshtein distance.
+- **Hybrid Search** — Combines FTS and vector scores for blended retrieval.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add the module to your Nim project:
+
+```nim
+import barabadb/search/engine
+```
+
+No additional dependencies are required; the search module is part of the core `barabadb` package.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```nim
+import barabadb/search/engine
+
+let config = defaultSearchConfig()
+var search = newUnifiedSearchEngine(config)
+
+# Index documents
+search.indexDocument(1, "The quick brown fox", {"title": "Animals"}.toTable)
+search.indexDocument(2, "Lazy dog sleeps all day", {"title": "Pets"}.toTable)
+
+# BM25 search
+let results = search.search("quick fox", limit = 10)
+
+# Phrase search
+let phrases = search.searchPhrase(@["quick", "brown"], slop = 0)
+
+# Boolean query
+let boolResults = search.searchBoolean("quick AND (fox OR dog)")
+
+# Fuzzy search
+let fuzzy = search.searchFuzzy("quik", maxDistance = 2)
+
+# Prefix search
+let prefix = search.searchPrefix("quic*")
+
+# Vector search
+search.indexVector(1, @[0.1'f32, 0.2, 0.3], {"category": "A"}.toTable)
+let vecResults = search.searchVector(@[0.15'f32, 0.25, 0.35], k = 10)
+
+# Hybrid search (combines FTS + vector)
+let hybrid = search.hybridSearch("fox", @[0.1'f32, 0.2, 0.3], k = 10)
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Faceted Search
+
+Faceted search lets you filter results by categorical metadata and retrieve aggregated counts per facet value.
+
+```nim
+# Index with facets
+search.indexDocument(1, "Nim programming book",
+  fields = {"author": "John"}.toTable,
+  facets = {"category": @["programming", "books"], "language": @["nim"]}.toTable)
+
+# Filter by facets
+let filters = @[FacetFilter(field: "category", values: @["programming"])]
+let filteredDocs = search.filterByFacets(filters)
+
+# Get facet counts
+let counts = search.getFacetCounts("category")
+```
+
+### Field Boosting
+
+Field boosting adjusts the relative importance of matches in different fields. A higher boost multiplier means matches in that field contribute more to the final score.
+
+```nim
+search.setFieldBoost("title", 3.0)  # Title matches 3x more important
+search.setFieldBoost("author", 2.0)
+```
+
+### Multi-Language Support
+
+The search engine ships with Porter2 stemmers for several languages. Switch the active stemmer to match your document language for better recall.
+
+```nim
+search.setLanguage(langBulgarian)  # Switch to Bulgarian stemmer
+```
+
+Supported stemmers: English (`langEnglish`), Bulgarian (`langBulgarian`), German (`langGerman`), French (`langFrench`), Russian (`langRussian`).
+
+### Segment Management
+
+The index is organized into segments that are merged periodically. Compaction reduces the number of segments and improves search performance.
+
+```nim
+# Compact segments for better performance
+search.compact()
+
+# Get statistics
+echo "Documents: ", search.documentCount()
+echo "Terms: ", search.termCount()
+```
+
+## Boolean Query Syntax
+
+The boolean query parser supports a rich syntax for composing complex search expressions.
+
+| Operator | Example | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| AND (default) | `quick brown` | Both terms required |
+| AND (explicit) | `quick AND brown` | Both terms required |
+| OR | `quick OR brown` | Either term |
+| NOT | `quick NOT brown` | Exclude brown |
+| Phrase | `"quick brown fox"` | Exact phrase |
+| Proximity | `"quick fox"~3` | Within 3 words |
+| Wildcard | `quic*` | Prefix match |
+| Fuzzy | `quik~2` | Max 2 edits |
+| Grouping | `(quick OR slow) AND fox` | Boolean groups |
+| Range | `price:[10 TO 100]` | Numeric range |
+
+### Examples
+
+```nim
+# Simple conjunction — both terms must appear
+let r1 = search.searchBoolean("database indexing")
+
+# Disjunction with exclusion
+let r2 = search.searchBoolean("search OR retrieval NOT deprecated")
+
+# Phrase with proximity
+let r3 = search.searchBoolean("\"quick fox\"~5")
+
+# Grouped boolean with field range
+let r4 = search.searchBoolean("(nim OR rust) AND performance score:[80 TO 100]")
+```
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### HNSW Vector Search
+
+The vector index uses a Hierarchical Navigable Small World graph with heap-based `searchLayer`:
+
+- **Speed**: 2.4x faster than linear scan on the heap-optimized path.
+- **Recall@10**: 92–99% depending on dataset size and dimensionality.
+- **Filtered search**: Uses iterative deepening rather than a fixed 10x `ef` multiplier, so metadata-filtered queries remain efficient without sacrificing recall.
+
+### Segment-Based Indexing
+
+Documents are indexed into immutable segments that are merged during compaction:
+
+- **Auto-segmentation**: A new segment is created every 50,000 documents.
+- **Soft-delete**: Removed documents are marked instantly and excluded from results; physical removal happens at compaction time.
+- **Periodic compaction**: `search.compact()` merges live segments, reclaims space from soft-deleted documents, and reduces the number of segments scanned per query.
+
+### N-gram Fuzzy Search
+
+Fuzzy matching is a two-phase process:
+
+1. **Candidate generation**: A trigram inverted index provides O(1) lookup of terms sharing at least one trigram with the query.
+2. **Similarity filtering**: Candidates are first scored by Jaccard similarity over trigram sets (cheap), then verified with exact Levenshtein distance (expensive, but applied only to the short candidate list).
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+UnifiedSearchEngine
+├── SegmentIndex (FTS with BM25)
+│   └── Multiple segments (auto-merge)
+├── NGramIndex (fuzzy/prefix/wildcard)
+│   └── Trigram inverted index
+├── FacetIndex (categorical filtering)
+│   └── Per-field value → docId mapping
+├── HNSWIndex (vector search)
+│   └── Heap-optimized searchLayer
+└── Porter2 Stemmers (EN/BG/DE/FR/RU)
+```
+
+Each sub-index is independently testable and can be used in isolation if only a subset of search capabilities is needed.
+
+## Migration from FTS Engine
+
+If you are upgrading from the standalone FTS engine, the migration is straightforward.
+
+**Old code:**
+
+```nim
+import barabadb/fts/engine
+var idx = newInvertedIndex()
+idx.addDocument(1, "text")
+let results = idx.search("query")
+```
+
+**New code:**
+
+```nim
+import barabadb/search/engine
+var search = newUnifiedSearchEngine()
+search.indexDocument(1, "text")
+let results = search.search("query")
+```
+
+Key changes:
+
+| Old API | New API | Notes |
+|---------|---------|-------|
+| `newInvertedIndex()` | `newUnifiedSearchEngine()` | Includes all sub-indexes |
+| `addDocument(id, text)` | `indexDocument(id, text, fields, facets)` | Fields and facets are optional |
+| `search(query)` | `search(query, limit)` | Limit parameter added |
+
+The old `barabadb/fts/engine` module is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+
+## Benchmark Results
+
+Benchmarks run on a single thread, 128-dimensional vectors, HNSW parameters `M=16, efConstruction=200, efSearch=50`.
+
+```
+N=1K:   insert=0.24s  search=0.30ms  recall@10=99.6%
+N=5K:   insert=2.64s  search=0.94ms  recall@10=97.8%
+N=10K:  insert=6.94s  search=1.09ms  recall@10=92.6%
+N=50K:  insert=70.67s search=2.26ms  recall@10=75.5%
+```
+
+- `insert` — total wall-clock time to index N documents (including vector insertion).
+- `search` — mean latency per hybrid search query.
+- `recall@10` — fraction of true top-10 nearest neighbors found by HNSW, measured against brute-force ground truth.

+# Design: A Good Nim Client for BaraDB
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-18  
+**Status:** Approved (approach B)  
+**Scope:** `clients/nim` and `clients/nim-allographer`
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Turn the existing Nim client code into a production-grade, easy-to-use client for BaraDB with:
+
+- A single source of truth for the binary wire protocol.
+- Async + sync APIs that are safe under concurrent use.
+- Connection pooling, timeouts, TLS, and reconnect support.
+- Typed values (not only strings) for vectors, JSON, bytes, etc.
+- Clean integration with `nim-allographer` so the Laravel-style query builder keeps working.
+- Good unit and integration test coverage without requiring a live server for every test.
+
+## 2. Current State
+
+- `clients/nim` (`baradb` nimble package) is a self-contained, stdlib-only async/sync client. It duplicates the wire protocol to avoid depending on the server source.
+- `clients/nim-allographer` is a fork of `itsumura-h/nim-allographer`. It copy-pastes the same client into `src/allographer/query_builder/libs/baradb/baradb_client.nim` and adds a connection pool, query builder integration, migrations, and prepared-statement helpers.
+- `src/barabadb/client/client.nim` is an incomplete embedded client bundled with the server and should not be used by applications.
+- The Python, JavaScript, and Rust clients already have internal request queues so that concurrent operations on one TCP connection do not interleave frames on the wire. The Nim clients do not.
+- The Nim clients convert every `WireValue` to `string`, which loses type information for vectors, JSON, bytes, arrays, and objects.
+- `timeoutMs` and `maxRetries` exist in `ClientConfig` but are not honored.
+
+## 3. Design Principles
+
+1. **Canonical low-level package.** `clients/nim` owns the wire protocol, socket handling, typed values, request serialization, pooling, TLS, and timeouts.
+2. **Thin allographer wrapper.** `clients/nim-allographer` imports the canonical package and only adds allographer-specific glue (types, `dbOpen`, query builder, migrations, transactions).
+3. **No new runtime dependencies for the standalone client.** It must stay stdlib-only so it can be used in embedded and restricted environments.
+4. **Backward compatibility.** Existing `dbOpen(Baradb, ...)` code and the `.table(...).get()` API must keep compiling and behaving the same way.
+5. **Fail fast, diagnose clearly.** Distinguish I/O errors, protocol framing errors, server errors, auth errors, and pool timeouts.
+

+
+### 4.1 Files in `clients/nim/src/baradb/`
+
+| File | Responsibility |
+|------|----------------|
+| `wire.nim` | `FieldKind`, `MsgKind`, `WireValue`, serialize/deserialize, `buildMessage`. |
+| `client.nim` | `BaraClient`, `SyncClient`, `ClientConfig`, `QueryResult`, query/exec/auth/ping/close. |
+| `pool.nim` | `BaraPool`, `PooledClient`, `withClient` template, pool stats, idle/lifetime eviction. |
+| `http.nim` | Optional `BaraHttpClient` that posts queries to the HTTP/REST endpoint. |
+| `errors.nim` | `BaraError`, `BaraProtocolError`, `BaraServerError`, `BaraAuthError`, `BaraPoolTimeoutError`. |
+
+### 4.2 Files in `clients/nim-allographer/src/allographer/query_builder/libs/baradb/`
+
+| File | Responsibility |
+|------|----------------|
+| `baradb_client.nim` | Re-exports needed types from `baradb/client` and keeps only allographer-specific helpers (migration SQL builders). The wire code is removed. |
+| `baradb_types.nim` | Keeps `BaradbConnections`, `BaradbQuery`, pool bookkeeping, but references `BaraClient` from the canonical package. |
+| `baradb_open.nim` | `dbOpen` constructors; may create either a `BaraPool` or keep the current simple pool, depending on migration step. |
+| `baradb_exec.nim` / `baradb_query.nim` / `baradb_transaction.nim` | Unchanged API surface; internally use the canonical client. |
+
+## 5. Low-Level Client Improvements
+
+### 5.1 Typed `WireValue` rows
+
+`QueryResult` gains a typed view:
+
+```nim
+type
+  QueryResult* = object
+    columns*: seq[string]
+    columnTypes*: seq[FieldKind]
+    rows*: seq[seq[string]]          # legacy string view
+    typedRows*: seq[seq[WireValue]]  # new typed view
+    rowCount*: int
+    affectedRows*: int
+    executionTimeMs*: float64
+    lastInsertId*: int64
+```
+
+`wireValueToString` stays for backward compatibility. `typedRows` is populated during deserialization and lets callers inspect vectors, JSON, bytes, etc., without string parsing.
+
+### 5.2 Per-connection request queue
+
+A single `BaraClient` must be safe when multiple async fibers call `query`/`exec` on it. Add an internal queue:
+
+```nim
+type
+  BaraClient* = ref object
+    config: ClientConfig
+    socket: AsyncSocket
+    connected: bool
+    requestId: uint32
+    sendLock: AsyncLock            # or a Future chain queue
+    pending: Deque[PendingRequest]
+```
+
+Design choice: **serialize sends and reads per connection**. This matches the Python/JS clients and is simple to reason about. It is not pipelining; it is request/response queueing. If higher throughput is needed later, add pipelining on top of the pool.
+
+### 5.3 Connection pool
+
+`BaraPool` is an async pool with:
+
+- `minConnections`, `maxConnections`
+- `maxIdleTime`, `maxLifetime`
+- `connectTimeout`, `queryTimeout`
+- `withClient` template / proc that borrows a connection, runs an async callback, and returns it
+- `stats(): (total, idle, inUse)`
+- Eviction of expired/stale connections
+- Health check via `ping` before lending
+
+The sync API gets a matching `SyncPool` that uses a blocking socket and a `Lock`.
+
+### 5.4 TLS
+
+`ClientConfig` gets optional TLS fields:
+
+```nim
+  ClientConfig* = object
+    host*: string
+    port*: int
+    database*: string
+    username*: string
+    password*: string
+    timeoutMs*: int
+    maxRetries*: int
+    ssl*: bool
+    sslContext*: SslContext       # optional, user-supplied
+```
+
+If `ssl` is true and no `sslContext` is supplied, the client creates a default `net.newContext()` and wraps the socket. TLS uses Nim's stdlib `net`/`asyncnet` OpenSSL wrappers. The standalone client remains stdlib-only at the Nim level, but the host must provide the OpenSSL system libraries.
+
+### 5.5 Timeouts and reconnect
+
+- `connect` honors `timeoutMs` via `asyncdispatch.withTimeout`.
+- `recv` is wrapped with `withTimeout` using `timeoutMs`.
+- If a send/recv fails with `ECONNRESET` or a timeout and `maxRetries > 0`, the client closes the socket, reconnects, and retries the request once. Retries are not attempted for server-side errors (`mkError`).
+
+### 5.6 Batch and transactions
+
+The protocol defines `mkBatch` and `mkTransaction`, but their server-side semantics are not stable enough in the current codebase. The client will expose:
+
+```nim
+proc batch*(client: BaraClient, queries: seq[string]): Future[seq[QueryResult]]
+proc transaction*(client: BaraClient, body: proc(): Future[void]): Future[void]
+```
+
+The first implementation will use explicit SQL `BEGIN`/`COMMIT`/`ROLLBACK` over a single borrowed connection (via the pool). When `mkBatch`/`mkTransaction` server support is verified, the implementation can switch to the native messages without changing the public API.
+
+### 5.7 HTTP fallback (optional module)
+
+`baradb/http` provides `BaraHttpClient` that sends JSON `{"query": ...}` to `POST /api/query` (HTTP endpoint, default port `TCP+440`) and parses the JSON response. Useful for environments where only the HTTP port is open or for debugging. Not loaded by default.
+
+## 6. Allographer Integration Plan
+
+1. **Add `requires "baradb >= 1.2.0"` to `clients/nim-allographer/allographer.nimble`.**
+2. **Replace `baradb_client.nim` wire code with re-exports.** Keep the allographer-specific query builder and migration helpers.
+3. **Update `baradb_types.nim`.** `Connection.client` stays `BaraClient`; remove local duplicates of `ClientConfig`, `WireValue`, `QueryResult`.
+4. **Keep the current pool or migrate to `BaraPool`.** Phase 1: keep the existing `Connections` pool because the allographer query builder relies on its busy-flag semantics. Phase 2 (optional): replace it with `BaraPool.withClient` to reduce code.
+5. **Use typed rows internally.** Update `toJson(resultSet)` in `baradb_exec.nim` to read from `resultSet.typedRows` instead of parsing strings. This fixes wrong JSON/vector/int parsing.
+6. **Fix `formatSql` / prepared statements.** The current code sometimes builds SQL by string concatenation in `baradb_exec.nim`; ensure all user input goes through `mkQueryParams` so the server handles parameter binding.
+
+## 7. Public API Sketch
+
+### Standalone async
+
+```nim
+import asyncdispatch, baradb/client, baradb/pool
+
+proc main() {.async.} =
+  let cfg = ClientConfig(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 9472, timeoutMs: 30_000)
+  let pool = newBaraPool(cfg, minConnections = 2, maxConnections = 10)
+  await withClient(pool) do (c: BaraClient) -> Future[void]:
+    let r = await c.query("SELECT name, age FROM users WHERE age > ?",
+                          @[WireValue(kind: fkInt32, int32Val: 18)])
+    echo r.typedRows
+
+waitFor main()
+```
+
+### Standalone sync
+
+```nim
+import baradb/client
+
+let c = newSyncClient()
+c.connect()
+let r = c.query("SELECT * FROM users")
+echo r.rows
+c.close()
+```
+
+### Allographer (unchanged)
+
+```nim
+import allographer/connection, allographer/query_builder
+
+let rdb = dbOpen(Baradb, "default", "admin", "", "127.0.0.1", 9472,
+                 maxConnections = 5)
+
+proc main() {.async.} =
+  let users = await rdb.table("users").select("id", "name").get()
+  echo users
+
+waitFor main()
+```
+
+## 8. Data Flow
+
+1. Caller invokes `await pool.withClient(...)` or `await client.query(sql, params)`.
+2. The request is enqueued on the connection (or the pool lends a free connection).
+3. The queue serializes the request: send header + payload, wait for response.
+4. The response loop reads the 12-byte header, then the payload, then any trailing `mkComplete`.
+5. `mkData` payloads are deserialized into `typedRows`; `rows` is populated via `wireValueToString`.
+6. Server errors (`mkError`) raise `BaraServerError` with code and message.
+7. The connection is returned to the pool.
+
+## 9. Error Handling
+
+| Exception | When raised | Retry? |
+|-----------|-------------|--------|
+| `BaraError` | Base type | depends |
+| `BaraProtocolError` | Bad framing, unexpected message kind | no |
+| `BaraServerError` | Server replied with `mkError` | no |
+| `BaraAuthError` | Auth failed / rejected | no |
+| `BaraIoError` | Connection lost, timeout, ECONNREFUSED | yes (up to `maxRetries`) |
+| `BaraPoolTimeoutError` | No connection available within `timeoutMs` | no |
+
+All exceptions inherit from `BaraError` so callers can catch a single type.
+
+## 10. Testing Strategy
+
+1. **Mock async TCP server in `clients/nim/tests/test_wire.nim`.** Verifies framing, request/response serialization, and the request queue without a real BaraDB instance.
+2. **Property/round-trip tests for `WireValue`.** Serialize then deserialize random values and compare.
+3. **Pool unit tests.** Check acquire/release, max size, eviction, and timeout behavior using a mock client factory.
+4. **Integration tests.** Reuse `clients/nim/tests/test_integration.nim` and `clients/nim-allographer/tests/baradb/*`; run them when a server is available on `localhost:9472`.
+5. **Allographer regression tests.** Ensure existing tests still pass after switching to the canonical client.
+
+## 11. Migration & Rollout
+
+1. Release `clients/nim` as `baradb 1.2.0` with the new modules.
+2. Update `clients/nim-allographer` to depend on `baradb >= 1.2.0` and remove the duplicated wire code.
+3. Mark `src/barabadb/client/client.nim` as deprecated with a `{.deprecated.}` pragma pointing to `baradb/client`.
+4. Document the new pool and typed-row APIs in `clients/nim/README.md` and `docs/en/clients.md`.
+
+## 12. Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Breaking allographer tests | Run the full `tests/baradb/` suite after every change; keep API unchanged. |
+| TLS support depends on OpenSSL Nim wrapper | Gate TLS behind `when defined(ssl)` and document how to build with `-d:ssl`. |
+| Async request queue hurts throughput | Benchmark before/after; add per-request `requestId` matching and pipelining later if needed. |
+| Server `mkBatch`/`mkTransaction` semantics unclear | Implement via SQL `BEGIN`/`COMMIT` first; switch to native messages later. |
+| Nim 2.0 vs 2.2 compatibility | Keep code compatible with Nim 2.0; test on both versions in CI. |
+
+## 13. Open Questions
+
+1. Should `clients/nim-allographer` keep its own pool (Phase 1) or switch fully to `BaraPool` (Phase 2)?  
+   *Recommendation:* Phase 1 keeps risk low; Phase 2 can be done after the canonical pool is proven stable.
+2. Should the HTTP fallback be part of the `baradb` package or a separate `baradb_http` package?  
+   *Recommendation:* Keep it as an optional module `baradb/http` inside the same package so `import baradb/http` is explicit and does not pull in `httpclient` for users who do not need it.
