From 272ced7fa68bc4b6268ec589722184de3a738357 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 14:10:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] wave11: weaviate-0001 UNDF-1300 (87x-1735x RBAC filter) + 2 clean-scan additions Flagship: weaviate authorization filter slices.Contains per item (O(N*K)). Multi-tenant deployments with hundreds-thousands of permitted resources pay this on every authorized read. Set hoist: 1735x speedup at N=50k K=5k. Wave 11 honor roll: bash, coreutils.
