rdmbair15m5-changelog-20260822-2032-rddb-core-engine-complete-victory-confirmed

• Scope: rdmbair15m5 (native engine, Vision OCR, local LLM, batch dedup, rules) & rdmsm4x:~/dev/apps/rdDB.
• Summary: Full rdDB Core Engine (Full-Coverage Hashing & Dedup, Rule Population & 5-Level Categorization, Apple Vision OCR, and Local LLM Structured Extraction) completed, verified across 141 tests (100% pass rate, 0 warnings), audited with VICTORY CONFIRMED, and synced to canonical host rdmsm4x.

Deliverables & Verification Evidence

1. R1: Full-Coverage Hashing & Dedup Pipeline:
   • Cursor-based streaming queries in DedupEngine.swift and Database.swift for processing 180,000+ files without batch limits.
   • Batch SQLite WAL transactions (upsertFilesBatch, upsertHashesBatch, updateFileTaxonomyBatch) eliminating lock contention.
   • Atomic 6-step APFS clonefile Copy-on-Write deduplication with physical block reclaim accounting.
2. R2: Rule Population & 5-Level Categorization:
   • Pre-populated domain classification rule catalogue across networking (Arista, Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto), software development (Swift/macOS), cloud infrastructure, finance, and legal.
   • Streaming cursor classification transitions unclassified files from CANDIDATE to INFERRED/VERIFIED.
   • CLI rule management (rddb-cli rules, rddb-cli classify --learn).
3. R3: Apple Vision OCR & Local LLM Integration:
   • Published formal PRD: ~/.agent-coordination/requests-to-claude/rddb-ocr-llm-prd.md (synced to rdmsm4x).
   • Native Apple Vision OCR (VNRecognizeTextRequest .accurate + PDFKit 150 DPI page rendering) in VisionOCRExtractor.swift.
   • Structured JSON local LLM taxonomy extraction client in LocalLLMClient.swift (Ollama/MLX/llama.cpp) with graceful offline fallback.
4. R4: Git Repository, Safety Hard Gate & Audit:
   • Git repository initialized and tracked in ~/dev/apps/rdDB.
   • 5 Hard Gate safety tests in HardGateSafetyTests.swift enforcing local sandbox and quarantine against unauthorized fleet distribution.
   • Independent Victory Auditor verdict: VICTORY CONFIRMED (141/141 tests passing, 0 warnings, 0 errors).
