A CLAUDE.md is just a markdown file at the root of your repo. Copy the content below into your own project's CLAUDE.md to give your agent the same context.

Vector database. Go + C++ (internal/core/) + Rust (tantivy).
pkg has its own go.mod (module: `github.com/milvus-io/milvus/pkg/v3`). Run `go get` from `pkg/` when adding dependencies there, not from root.
## Architecture
Coordinators manage metadata and scheduling; nodes execute work.
- Coordinators: rootcoord, datacoord, querycoordv2 (note the v2 suffix in directory names)
- Nodes: proxy (user-facing), querynodev2, datanode, streamingnode
- All component interfaces defined in `internal/types/types.go`
## Testing
Go tests MUST use `-tags dynamic,test` and `-gcflags="all=-N -l"` (disable optimizations/inlining) or they won't compile / mockey-based monkey patching will fail:
```bash
go test -tags dynamic,test -gcflags="all=-N -l" -count=1 ./internal/querycoordv2/...
go test -tags dynamic,test -gcflags="all=-N -l" -count=1 ./internal/proxy/... -run TestXxx
```
Per-module shortcuts: `make test-querycoord`, `make test-proxy`, etc.
## Run Milvus Locally
```bash
scripts/start_standalone.sh # start standalone mode
scripts/start_cluster.sh # start cluster mode
scripts/stop_graceful.sh # stop
scripts/standalone_embed.sh # embedded standalone (no external deps)
```
## Code Conventions
- Error handling: use `merr` package, not fmt.Errorf
- Logging: use `pkg/v2/log`, not standard `"log"` or fmt.Println
- Import order: standard → third-party → github.com/milvus-io (enforced by gci)
- Config params: paramtable (`pkg/v2/util/paramtable`), config in `configs/milvus.yaml`
## PR and Commit Conventions
PR title format: `{type}: {description}`. Valid types: `feat:`, `fix:`, `enhance:`, `test:`, `doc:`, `auto:`, `build(deps):`.
PR body must be non-empty. Issue/doc linking rules:
- `fix:` — must link issue (e.g. `issue: #123`)
- `feat:` — must link issue + design doc from milvus-io/milvus-design-docs
- `enhance:` — must link issue if size L/XL/XXL
- `doc:`, `test:` — no issue required
- 2.x branch PRs must link the corresponding master PR (e.g. `pr: #123`)
DCO check is required. Always use `-s` so the developer's Signed-off-by is appended last:
```
git commit -s -m "commit message
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>"
```
`-s` auto-appends `Signed-off-by: <developer>` at the end. The developer MUST be the final sign-off, not the AI.
## Generated Files — Do Not Hand-Edit
- Mock files (`internal/mocks/*`, `mock_*.go`): regenerate with `make generate-mockery-{module}`
- Proto files (`pkg/proto/*.pb.go`): regenerate with `make generated-proto-without-cpp`
