What is the current behavior?

InMemoryVectorAdapter.search() returns stored embeddings and metadata directly. Changing a result can corrupt later similarity scores or change which user's filter retrieves a memory. Metadata copies in store() and get() are shallow as well.

What is the new behavior?

Copy result embeddings and deep-clone metadata at the store, get and search boundaries. Search cloning happens after filtering, ranking and limiting.

Make the internal fallback recursive when structuredClone cannot copy metadata containing functions. It preserves nested objects/arrays, cycles, shared references and common collection types; functions retain their existing references. The binary fallback uses the built-in ArrayBuffer/SharedArrayBuffer slice methods, bypassing instance overrides, and preserves valid view storage, offsets, lengths and own enumerable properties. A view referenced by its backing buffer's custom property retains its identity in the cloned graph.

Metadata compatibility: nested custom class instances are now copied as plain data objects rather than returned by reference. Custom prototypes, prototype methods and instanceof identity are not retained. This behavior is documented in the changeset and adapter documentation, with tests for both the native and fallback clone paths. Applications should store explicitly serialized plain records and reconstruct their classes after retrieval if needed.

Validation

  • Original embedding/filter regressions fail on the base revision; nested-metadata cases fail before deep cloning.
  • Ten additional binary regressions fail on the previous PR head: overridden slice methods, own enumerable properties, cyclic buffer/view identity, and mutation isolation at all three adapter boundaries. All pass with this update.
  • Complete internal package suite: 143 passed, 1 existing Symbol test skipped. Modified objects.ts: 100% line, statement, branch and function coverage, running the complete internal suite with coverage scoped to that file.
  • Core memory suite: 166 passed, including 34 type tests. Core and internal TypeScript checks and CJS/ESM/declaration builds pass.
  • Core/internal Biome checks pass with five existing core complexity warnings; changeset Prettier check and git diff --check pass.
  • Full internal-package coverage has an existing global utility-threshold failure in safe-stringify.ts, previously reproduced on the original implementation. No coverage threshold was changed. The entire monorepo test suite and build were not run.
  • Checks use the repository's locked dependencies for core, internal and logger; validation sources match the checkout byte-for-byte.

PR Checklist

  • Conventional commit message
  • Regression tests added
  • Patch changeset for core and internal
  • Related issues: independently reproduced mutation behavior and current review findings.
  • Documentation: metadata compatibility change and migration guidance recorded in the changeset and adapter documentation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Vector search results now contain independent copies of embeddings and metadata. Mutating returned data no longer changes stored memories or affects later searches, including user-filtered searches.
    • Nested metadata changes made to input data after storage, or to data returned by retrieval, no longer affect stored memories.
    • Metadata containing cycles, shared references, functions, or binary data is handled more safely when copied. Custom class instances are returned as plain data objects without their prototypes or methods.
    • Vectors stored without metadata remain available in search results with metadata reported as undefined.

📝 Walkthrough

The internal deepClone fallback now recursively copies supported values when structuredClone is unavailable or fails. The in-memory vector adapter deep-clones metadata during storage and retrieval. Search results include copied vectors and metadata.

Changes: Vector data cloning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recursive clone fallback
packages/internal/src/utils/objects.ts, packages/internal/src/utils/objects.spec.ts
When structuredClone is unavailable or fails, deepClone recursively clones supported values. The fallback preserves cycles and shared references. Tests cover binary data, collections, cycles, shared references, and an own __proto__ property.
In-memory vector storage and retrieval
packages/core/src/memory/adapters/vector/in-memory.ts, packages/core/src/memory/adapters/vector/in-memory.spec.ts, .changeset/clean-vector-search-results.md
Store, get, and search paths deep-clone metadata. Search results copy vectors. Tests cover mutations to inputs and returned values, user-filtered retrieval, and missing metadata. The changeset declares patch releases for @voltagent/core and @voltagent/internal.

This used to be { ...metadata }, so nested values came back by reference. Now nested class instances come back as plain objects: structuredClone drops the prototype, and the fallback builds {} at packages/internal/src/utils/objects.ts:66. So instanceof checks and methods on stored metadata stop working. Fine if metadata is meant to be plain data, but it might be worth calling out in the changeset.
