# Rhizome-Node Repository Analysis
## Core Architecture
### 1. Delta System
- **Delta Types**: Implements V1 (array-based) and V2 (object-based) delta formats
- **Delta Lifecycle**:
- Creation via `DeltaBuilder`
- Propagation through `DeltaStream`
- Storage in `Lossless` view
- Transformation in `Lossy` views
### 2. Network Layer
- **Communication**:
- Pub/Sub system for delta propagation
- Request/Reply pattern for direct communication
- Peer management
- **Delta Propagation**:
- Deduplication using content hashing
- Policy-based acceptance/rejection
- Queuing for deferred processing
### 3. Storage
- **In-Memory Storage**:
- `Lossless` view maintains complete delta history
- `Lossy` views provide optimized access patterns
- **Persistence**:
- LevelDB integration
- Delta compaction strategies
### 4. Schema System
- **Type Definitions**:
- Support for primitives, references, and arrays
- Validation rules
- **Schema Registry**:
- Central schema management
- Versioning support
## Key Components
1. **Core**:
- `delta.ts`: Core delta implementation
- `delta-builder.ts`: Fluent API for delta creation
- `entity.ts`: Base entity definitions
2. **Network**:
- `delta-stream.ts`: Delta propagation and management
- `pub-sub.ts`: Publish/subscribe functionality
- `request-reply.ts`: Direct node communication
3. **Views**:
- `lossless.ts`: Complete delta history
- `lossy.ts`: Derived, optimized views
4. **Schema**:
- `schema.ts`: Type definitions
- `schema-registry.ts`: Schema management
## Strengths
1. **Flexible Data Model**: Hypergraph structure supports complex relationships
2. **Extensible**: Plugin architecture for storage and networking
3. **Type Safety**: Comprehensive TypeScript types
4. **Incremental Processing**: Efficient updates with `Lossy` views
## Areas for Improvement
1. **Documentation**:
- Limited inline documentation
- Need for architectural overview
- Example implementations
2. **Testing**:
- Incomplete test coverage
- Need for integration tests
- Performance benchmarking
3. **Scalability**:
- In-memory storage limits
- Delta compaction strategy
- Sharding support
4. **Security**:
- Authentication/authorization
- Delta signing/verification
- Encryption
## Recommended Next Steps
1. **Documentation**:
- Create architecture diagrams
- Add usage examples
- Document extension points
2. **Testing**:
- Increase test coverage
- Add performance benchmarks
- Test at scale
3. **Features**:
- Implement delta compression
- Add conflict resolution strategies
- Support for offline operation
4. **Tooling**:
- CLI for administration
- Monitoring/metrics
- Debugging tools
