# SPARC Implementation Plan for RvLite

## Overview

**RvLite** (RuVector-Lite) is a standalone, WASM-first vector database with graph and semantic capabilities that runs anywhere - browser, Node.js, Deno, Bun, edge workers - without requiring PostgreSQL.

This document outlines the complete implementation using **SPARC methodology**:
- **S**pecification - Requirements, features, constraints
- **P**seudocode - High-level algorithms and data structures
- **A**rchitecture - System design and component interaction
- **R**efinement - Detailed implementation with TDD
- **C**ompletion - Integration, optimization, deployment

## Project Goals

### Primary Objectives
1. **Zero Dependencies** - No PostgreSQL, Docker, or native compilation required
2. **Universal Runtime** - Browser, Node.js, Deno, Bun, Cloudflare Workers
3. **Full Feature Parity** - All ruvector-postgres capabilities (SQL, SPARQL, Cypher, GNN, learning)
4. **Lightweight** - ~5-6MB WASM bundle (gzipped)
5. **Production Ready** - Persistent storage, ACID transactions, crash recovery

### Success Metrics
- Bundle size: < 6MB gzipped
- Load time: < 1s in browser
- Query latency: < 20ms for 1k vectors
- Memory usage: < 200MB for 100k vectors
- Browser support: Chrome 91+, Firefox 89+, Safari 16.4+
- Test coverage: > 90%

```

## Development Workflow

### 1. Test-Driven Development (TDD)
Every feature follows:
```
1. Write failing test
2. Implement minimal code to pass
3. Refactor for quality
4. Document and review
```

### 2. Continuous Integration
```
On every commit:
  ├─ cargo test (Rust unit tests)
  ├─ wasm-pack test (WASM tests)
  ├─ npm test (TypeScript integration tests)
  ├─ cargo clippy (linting)
  └─ cargo fmt --check (formatting)
```

### 3. Quality Gates
- All tests must pass
- Code coverage > 90%
- No clippy warnings
- Documentation complete
- Performance benchmarks green
