Sigma Global Renderer Production Integration Result

Date: 2026-06-19 Branch: codex/sigma-global-renderer-integration Plan: docs/plans/2026-06-19-sigma-global-renderer-integration-phased-plan.md

Result

Sigma/Graphology is now the production global graph renderer route for the graph-engine facade.

The final route boundary is:

• Global route: Sigma/Graphology through sigma-global.
• Community reading and rich detail route: DOM/SVG through dom-svg-community.
• Small abnormal fallback: DOM/SVG through dom-svg-small-fallback, only after Sigma is unavailable and the graph is below the safety threshold.
• Large abnormal fallback: aggregation safety view through aggregation-safety-fallback.

There is no user-visible old/new renderer switch. The old DOM/SVG global path is not a normal global main path.

Phase 0 Gate

The implementation started only after the plan review gate cleared:

• The plan review report ended with NO UNRESOLVED DECISIONS.
• The implementation branch was codex/sigma-global-renderer-integration.
• Baseline graph-engine tests passed before production renderer work started.

Production Evidence

The strongest production-path artifact so far is:

• /tmp/llm-wiki-sigma-global-production-task-6-2/sigma-global-production-results.json

Summary:

• Renderer: sigma-global-production.
• Production path: true.
• Browser: 148.0.7778.96.
• Build commit recorded in artifact: d2e857f.
• Shapes: 11.
• Records: 110.
• Failed records: 0.
• Artifact schema: 1.0.0.
• Required schema, thresholds, browser, build, run timestamp, loading-state, and production-path fields are present on every record.

Covered shapes:

• real-snapshot-proxy
• nodes-1000-sparse
• nodes-1000-dense
• nodes-5000-sparse
• nodes-5000-dense
• nodes-10000-aggregation

Hard Gate Summary

Gate	Production result
Failed records	0
Wheel FPS floor	min 60.2, required >= 45
Drag FPS floor	min 60.3, required >= 45
Wheel frame p95	max 17.6 ms, required <= 22.3 ms
Drag frame p95	max 17.6 ms, required <= 22.3 ms
Initial render duration	max 0.2 ms, threshold recorded per action
Search duration	max 37.7 ms, threshold recorded per action
Drawer duration	max 82.0 ms, threshold recorded per action
Return global duration	max 70.5 ms, threshold recorded per action
Repeated-cycle memory growth	max 6.4 MB, threshold recorded per action
Loading state	sigma-global-ready on global records

enter_community intentionally moves through the community route, so its loading-state set includes the non-global transition state as well as sigma-global-ready. Return-global records prove the production route returns to Sigma successfully.

Route And Fallback Boundary

The facade owns renderer route switching. Workbench and offline callers continue to use createGraphEngine and do not receive a renderer selector.

Fallback policy:

• If Sigma is available, global graph browsing uses Sigma.
• If Sigma is unavailable for a small graph, DOM/SVG is allowed only as the emergency small fallback.
• If Sigma is unavailable for a graph above 2000 nodes, 4000 edges, or 500 nodes in one community, the route uses aggregation safety fallback instead of DOM/SVG.
• The aggregation safety view is a minimum usable failure state, not a second global graph product.

Historical Context

Earlier comparison documents remain valid as historical evidence:

• 2026-06-19-phase-6-1-sigma-graphology-trial.md measured the isolated Sigma candidate.
• 2026-06-19-phase-6-2-vis-network-trial.md measured vis-network as a rejected comparison route.
• 2026-06-19-phase-6-3-aggregation-fallback-trial.md measured aggregation as a fallback strategy.
• 2026-06-19-phase-6-4-global-renderer-route-decision.md selected Sigma/Graphology as the route to integrate.

Those documents should not be read as current production state. This document records the production integration result.

Residual Risk

This result is proven on the local Chromium/Playwright environment and recorded artifacts. Task 7.3 must still rerun the full final acceptance list and produce the final production-path artifact for plan closure.
