Code Architecture

Type System (types.ts)

export interface SimulationScenario {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  category: string;
  description: string;
  config: any;
  run(config: any): Promise<SimulationReport>;
}

export interface SimulationReport {
  scenarioId: string;
  timestamp: string;
  executionTimeMs: number;
  summary: Record<string, any>;
  metrics: Record<string, any>;
  detailedResults?: any[];
  analysis?: string;
  recommendations?: string[];
  artifacts?: Record<string, any>;
}

Consistent Structure

Every simulation follows this pattern:

1. Type Definitions: Comprehensive metric interfaces
2. Scenario Configuration: Test parameters and backends
3. Run Function: Main simulation execution
4. Helper Functions: Analysis and reporting utilities
5. Report Generation: Structured output with recommendations

Common Patterns

// Multi-backend testing
for (const backend of ['ruvector-gnn', 'ruvector-core', 'hnswlib']) {
  // Run tests
}

// Performance measurement
const start = performance.now();
// ... operation ...
const latencyMs = performance.now() - start;

// Statistical aggregation
const avgMetric = values.reduce((sum, v) => sum + v, 0) / values.length;
const p95Metric = quantile(values, 0.95);
