+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to BaraDB are documented in this file.
+
+## [1.2.0] — Unreleased
+
+### Search Module (new)
+
+A unified search module combining vector similarity, full-text, and structured
+search into a single high-performance engine.
+
+- **Heap-optimized HNSW search** — priority-queue-based candidate selection, 2.4x faster than baseline (`search/hnsw_opt.nim`)

+
+---
+
+## [1.1.7] — 2026-05-29
+
+### Security (5 critical + 5 high)
+
+- **Fix REP/DISTTXN protocol auth bypass** (`server.nim`) — unauthenticated TCP clients could write data or manipulate distributed transactions
+- **Fix HTTP backup/restore path traversal** (`httpserver.nim`) — `..` and absolute paths rejected
+- **Fix empty JWT secret when auth enabled** (`server.nim`) — server now refuses to start with `authEnabled: true` and no `jwtSecret`
+- **Fix HTTP admin panel served without auth** (`httpserver.nim`) — admin UI now requires authentication when `authEnabled`

+
+### Data Integrity (3 critical + 3 high + 2 medium)
+
+- **Fix WAL write race with flush** (`lsm.nim`) — WAL write now under `db.lock`, preventing data loss after crash
+- **Fix 2PC marking uncontacted participants as prepared/committed** (`disttxn.nim`) — only contacted nodes are marked
+- **Fix Raft commit index for even-sized clusters** (`raft.nim`) — correct majority calculation
+- **Fix MVCC savepoint/rollback no-op** (`mvcc.nim`) — deep copy writeSet at savepoint time
+- **Fix table mutation during iteration** (`mvcc.nim`) — collect stale txns before deleting
+- **Fix B-tree leaf merge phantom separator key** (`btree.nim`) — no longer inserts empty-valued separator at leaf level
+- **Fix writeSSTable partial file on crash** (`lsm.nim`) — write to `.tmp` then atomic rename
+- **Fix compaction mmap leak** (`compaction.nim`) — close SSTables after reading
+
+### Query Correctness (1 high + 2 medium)
+
+- **Fix LIMIT 0 returning all rows** (`executor.nim`) — now returns empty result
+- **Fix COUNT(col) counting NULL values** (`executor.nim`) — 3 locations fixed to check `v.kind != vkNull`
+- **Fix EXISTS subquery always false** (`executor.nim`) — lowering now sets `existsSubquery` plan
+- **Fix multi-CTE queries losing earlier CTE tables** (`executor.nim`) — save/restore `cteTables` around inner execution
+- **Fix JSON injection in hybrid_search_filtered** (`executor.nim`) — escape quotes/backslashes in ID
+
+### Raft Consensus (3 high + 1 low)
+
+- **Fix Raft appendEntries using array index instead of log-index** (`raft.nim`) — uses `findLogEntryByIndex`
+- **Fix Raft applyCommitted using logical index as array position** (`raft.nim`) — uses `findLogEntryByIndex`
+- **Fix Raft loadState silently swallowing errors** (`raft.nim`) — now logs warning
+
+### Storage Engine (2 medium)
+
+- **Fix loadSSTable missing minimum file-size check** (`lsm.nim`) — rejects files < 40 bytes
+- **Fix substr(s, start) returning single char** (`udf.nim`) — now returns rest-of-string
+
+### Distributed Systems (2 high + 1 medium)
+
+- **Fix sharding connectWithTimeout missing SO_ERROR check** (`sharding.nim`) — verifies connection actually succeeded
+- **Fix replication healthCheck double-close socket** (`replication.nim`) — safe close with try/except
+
+### Resource Management (3 medium)
+
+- **Fix unbounded plan cache** (`adaptive.nim`) — max 10000 entries, auto-evict
+- **Fix MVCC unbounded committedTxns/abortedTxns** (`mvcc.nim`) — prune entries older than oldest active snapshot
+- **Fix connection pool not checking maxLifetime** (`pool.nim`) — lifetime check added to `acquire`
+
+### Operations (1 medium)
+
+- **Fix migration lock persisting after crash** (`executor.nim`) — stores timestamp, auto-releases after 1 hour
+
+### Other
+
+- **Fix nl_to_sql DML validation** (`executor.nim`) — requires `is_superuser` session variable for DML
+- **Fix lexer readIdent double column counting** (`lexer.nim`) — removed manual `inc l.col`
+- **Fix WebSocket frame 32-bit overflow** (`websocket.nim`) — guard against `len > high(int)`

+- **Fix unused imports** (`backup.nim`, `repair.nim`, `raft.nim`) — moved `parseopt` into `when isMainModule`, removed unused `algorithm`
+
+### Build

+# 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.

+
+## Typed Rows
+
+`QueryResult` now carries both a legacy string view (`rows`) and a typed view (`typedRows`):
+
+```nim
+let r = await client.query("SELECT * FROM vectors")
+for row in r.typedRows:
+  if row[0].kind == fkVector:
+    echo row[0].vecVal
+```
+
+## 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
+  c.close()

+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" \

-```
-
 ## 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

 ```
 
-**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.

-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.

+# 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.
+

+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).

+BaraDB provides multiple backup strategies ranging from full snapshots to incremental, online consistent backups, and multi-database archiving.
-
-> ⚠️ **Multi-Database Setup**
-> BaraDB supports multiple databases (`CREATE DATABASE`). Each database has its own isolated data directory (e.g. `data/databases/<name>/`). Backup, repair, checkpoint, and migration commands operate on **one directory at a time**. If you use multiple databases, run the commands for each database separately or back up the entire `data/databases/` parent directory.

 ## Backup Tool
 
-The backup tool is shipped as `src/barabadb/core/backup.nim`. Build it before use:
-
 ```bash
 nim c -o:build/backup src/barabadb/core/backup.nim
 ```
 
-## SSTable Integrity (v3 CRC Footer)
+## Multi-Database Backup (Recommended)
 
-Every SSTable file written by BaraDB includes a CRC32 footer:
+### 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
+```
+
+### Restore all databases
+
+```bash
+./build/backup restore --input=all_1234567890.tar.gz --all-databases --data-root=./data/databases
+```
+
+### Restore a single database
+
+```bash
+./build/backup restore --input=default_1234567890.tar.gz --database=default --data-root=./data/databases
+```
+
+## Legacy Single-Directory Backup
+
+For backward compatibility with older installations (single database in `data/server`):
+
+```bash
+./build/backup backup --data-dir=./data/server --output=legacy_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+./build/backup restore --input=legacy_1234567890.tar.gz --data-dir=./data/server
+```
+
+## Incremental Backup
+
+```bash
+./build/backup incremental --database=default --data-root=./data/databases --output=inc_$(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 --database=default --data-root=./data/databases --output=online_$(date +%s).tar.gz
+```
+
+Equivalent to:
+1. `checkpoint` (freeze memtable, flush, rotate WAL)
+2. `incremental backup`
+
+Safe to run while the server is running.
+
+## HTTP API Backup
+
+Backup/restore is also available via REST API (requires admin JWT token):
+
+```bash
+# Backup all databases
+curl -X POST http://localhost:9912/backup \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"all": true}'

-3. Replays WAL to recover unflushed committed data
-4. Reports results

-## 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

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

-
-Includes only:
-- `MANIFEST`

-
-### 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.

+## 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. Architecture

+
+### 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.
