The Contract

ix provides two binaries:

• ix: The CLI search tool.
• ixd: The background daemon for continuous indexing.

Both are integrated with the LLMOSafe v0.4.2 Immune Substrate for proactive metabolic pacing and capability-aware execution.

The Engine

ix uses a highly optimized trigram index with ZSTD-compressed posting lists:

• Delta encoding for position offsets (compact representation)
• ZSTD compression for 75% smaller indexes
• XXHash64 checksums for data integrity (built into ZSTD)

Index format v1.2 is not backward compatible with v1.1. Rebuild indexes after upgrading.

Performance

Context

Built for the era of AI agents where search must be both fast and system-aware.
