AI Summary

This release improves replication stability and loading performance. Key changes include preventing replica crashes due to divergence, accelerating graph loading by removing full sync from the decoder, and exposing new public APIs for encoding versioning.

Key Highlights

  • Fixed replica SIGSEGV crashes when an effect references a non-existent node or edge.
  • Accelerated graph loading performance by rebuilding matrices incrementally during RDB decoding.
  • Added new public APIs for graph-offloading to manage encoding versions.

New Features

  • New public APIs: `Graph_EncodingVersion` and `Graph_GetDecoder`.

Full Release Notes

## What's Changed

### Bug Fixes
* fix(effects): stop replica SIGSEGV on UPDATE_EDGE/UPDATE_NODE divergence - replicas no longer crash when an effect references a node or edge that no longer exists locally; the mismatch is now detected and triggers a full resync instead (#2581)

### Performance
* remove full sync from decoder - transpose matrices are rebuilt incrementally as delta-matrix components are set during RDB decoding instead of forcing a full sync at the end, speeding up loading of persisted graphs (#2584)

### Improvements
* serializers: export Graph_EncodingVersion and Graph_GetDecoder - new public APIs let external modules (e.g. graph-offloading) stamp dumps with their encoding version and select the matching decoder on load (#2552)
