Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The HNSW guards address invalid empty-neighbor accesses, but two current issues remain: traversal may receive the wrong pointer type for a stop-condition callback, and index persistence may copy beyond the supplied serializer buffer. These can cause incorrect search behavior or corrupted persisted data, so the PR needs fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

- Around line 1013-1014: Update the test setup around algo.addPoint(&point, 1)
to use a deterministic positive level during insertion, removing the subsequent
mutation of element_levels_[1]. Keep linkLists_[1], enterpoint_node_, maxlevel_,
and element_levels_ consistent so cleanup remains valid.

Hi @bluayer 👋 — flagging this as a P1 launch blocker for valkey-search 1.3 RC1. We're cutting the release branch the morning of Sept 14 (RC1 lands Sept 15), so all P1s need to be merged before then. If anything is blocking merge (open changes, CI, design questions), drop a note here so we can unblock quickly. Board: #1346. Thanks so much! 🙏 |

Hi @Frank-Gu-81, Thank you for the reminder. |

Summary
Problem
HNSW reserves storage for neighbor slots independently of the active neighbor count. Values outside
getListCount()are therefore not valid neighbors and may contain stale or uninitialized internal IDs.Some prefetch paths evaluated
datal[0]anddatal[1]without first checking the neighbor count. Those IDs were then used to calculate addresses invisited_arrayandgetDataByInternalId().Behavior
This does not change graph topology or search behavior.
When an upper-layer link list is empty, the current entry point remains unchanged and traversal continues at the next lower layer.
