AI Summary

This release addresses a critical crash in replicas when effects reference non-existent nodes or edges, implements incremental matrix rebuilding for faster RDB decoding, and exposes new public APIs for graph encoding versions.

Key Highlights

  • Fix replica SIGSEGV on UPDATE_EDGE/UPDATE_NODE divergence
  • Performance improvement: incremental matrix rebuilding during RDB decoding
  • New public APIs: Graph_EncodingVersion and Graph_GetDecoder

New Features

  • Export Graph_EncodingVersion and Graph_GetDecoder APIs for external modules

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)
