subgraph.rs

1//! The in-memory graph loaded from `links_current`, and its loader (§5.4).
2//!
3//! A `Subgraph` is derivative state (Doctrine VI): every field is re-derivable
4//! from the ledger, nothing here is authoritative, and dropping one loses
5//! nothing. That is what lets analytics run on a snapshot without a third clock
6//! — the graph is the topology as of one instant, and the instant is the
7//! caller's `now_ts`, not a property of the structure.

15const NO_EDGES: &[EdgeRef] = &[];
16
17/// A transient, in-memory graph loaded from `links_current`.
18///
19/// The maps are `BTreeMap`, not `HashMap`, so iteration follows node id order.
20/// Every algorithm in [`super::algorithms`] inherits its determinism from that
21/// choice, and Louvain in particular returns a different partition under a
22/// randomised iteration order.
23///
24/// # Closure
25///
26/// **Every id appearing in `out_adj` or `in_adj` — as a key or as an
27/// [`EdgeRef::node`] — is a key of `nodes`.** `drop_dangling_adjacency` — private,
28/// and named here because it is the sole establisher — establishes it and
29/// [`Subgraph::is_closed`] checks it; every algorithm in
30/// [`super::algorithms`] is written assuming it and none of them re-checks.
31///
32/// It did not hold before Wave 1 (defect Z), and the way it failed is the reason
33/// it is now stated on the type rather than left to the loader. Adjacency comes
34/// from `links_current`, which carries edges to retired concepts; `hydrate`
35/// filters `retired = 0`. So a retired neighbour left an `EdgeRef` pointing at
36/// an id with no `NodeData`, and the five algorithms each met that differently:
37/// `louvain` panicked on the missing map entry, `scc` emitted the absent node as
38/// a phantom component of its own, `k_core` counted a degree of 2 where one edge
39/// was in the graph, and `dijkstra` returned a finite distance to a node the
40/// caller could not then look up. Four handlings of one violated invariant, none
41/// of them chosen — and the panic was the least damaging, because the other
42/// three answer.
43///
44/// Dangling entries are **dropped** rather than admitted with a tombstone node.
45/// A retired concept is not visible (§4.1), analytics over a graph is analytics
46/// over what is visible, and the alternative pushes a three-state node onto
47/// every present and future algorithm to preserve edges whose endpoint the
48/// caller is not entitled to read. Retirement is the supported path — concepts
49/// are never deleted (D-022) — so this is ordinary use, not a corner.
50///
51/// # Why the fields are private (0.8.0, B1, D-114)
52///
53/// They were `pub` through 0.7.0, and the three maps were the crate's most
54/// widely read data structure. That made **every detail of the representation
55/// part of the public API** — the `BTreeMap`, the `String` keys, the fact that
56/// adjacency is stored as two maps at all — none of which was ever a promise
57/// anyone intended to make.
58///
59/// The immediate reason is D-087: interning the keys to `u32` cannot be done
60/// at all while `EdgeRef::node` is a public `String`. The break is taken **once**, here, with the representation
61/// unchanged, so that anything depending on the old shape fails against code
62/// that still behaves identically.
63///
64/// Accessors return borrowed views, so nothing here costs an allocation that
65/// field access did not.

246/// category): graphs that did not fit the byte budget start fitting.
247///
248/// # Invariants
249///
250/// An `EdgeRef` is tied to the specific [`Subgraph`] it was retrieved from.
251/// Querying it against a different one — via an accessor like [`Self::node`],
252/// or via derived `PartialEq` — is a **logic error** that will silently return
253/// incorrect data or report equality where none exists. Because the handle is
254/// `Copy` it can be stored in a struct that outlives the graph; it stays
255/// well-formed and becomes meaningless without its pool.
256///
257/// `PartialEq` is the sharp edge, and it is kept rather than removed: *within*
258/// one graph, index equality is exactly the comparison a caller wants, and it
259/// is cheaper and stricter than comparing five strings. Across two graphs it
260/// compares indices that mean different things — a wrong answer that needs no
261/// accessor call at all, so it sits outside the mental model of "querying".
262/// Before interning, `==` compared the strings and could not be wrong this way.
263///
264/// This logic error does not result in undefined behaviour — every index goes
265/// through bounds-checked slice indexing and there is no `unsafe` here — but
266/// the results are otherwise unspecified.
267///
268/// The handle is intentionally **not** lifetime-branded, which would make the
269/// invariant a compile error, because that propagates a generic parameter
270/// through every algorithm and every signature that mentions a `Subgraph`. See
271/// D-115 for the argument and for what to do if this is ever hit in practice.
