Use an encoding that round-trips all Unicode IDs.
A code point above U+FFFF produces five or six hexadecimal digits. decodeCursor consumes four-digit groups and therefore rejects or corrupts the cursor. For example, an ID containing an emoji cannot be used as a pagination bound.
Use a framed encoding such as UTF-8 plus base64url, or use a fixed width that supports the complete Unicode range.

Align the cursor key with the result order.
search applies id < cursorId before scoring, but it returns rows in descending score order. For example, a first page of [d, a] produces a cursor for a, then excludes unreturned IDs b and c that sort after a. It can also return already delivered lower IDs again.
Use a cursor that contains the score and a unique ID tiebreaker, or return ID-ordered pages consistently.

Reject rows that lack a comparison field.
For comparisonFilter: { price: { $gt: 75 } }, a row without price skips both comparisons and passes. The existing vec-5 fixture has no price, so the new $gt test returns four rows instead of three. Require a numeric metadata value before evaluating comparison bounds.
Proposed fix
if (this.isComparisonOperator(value)) {
- if (value.$gt !== undefined && metadataValue !== undefined) {
- if (!((metadataValue as number) > value.$gt)) {
- return false;
- }
- }
- if (value.$lt !== undefined && metadataValue !== undefined) {
- if (!((metadataValue as number) < value.$lt)) {
- return false;
- }
- }
+ if (typeof metadataValue !== "number") return false;
+ if (value.$gt !== undefined && metadataValue <= value.$gt) return false;
+ if (value.$lt !== undefined && metadataValue >= value.$lt) return false;

Align the cursor key with the result ordering.
The query bounds candidates by id, but the method returns results in descending score order. If a page ends with a low ID, the next id < cursorId query can exclude higher IDs that were not returned on the previous page.
Use a cursor that contains the result ordering tuple, such as score and id, and apply a strict lexicographic bound. Alternatively, return results in ID order when ID is the pagination key.

Reject comparison filters when the metadata field is absent.
When metadataValue is undefined, both operator checks are skipped. The method then accepts the row. For example, {} incorrectly satisfies { price: { $gt: 150 } }.
Return false when an operator filter references a missing field. Validate the field type before applying numeric comparisons.

P2: When a row is updated between the two phases, phase two can return metadata that no longer satisfies the requested filters because it checks only the candidate ID. Run both reads in one consistent transaction or reapply every metadata predicate to the phase-two rows before adding results.

P2: The $or test understates its matches and under-asserts its result. vec-2 (category "A", status "inactive") also satisfies category === "A", so all four stored vectors match, not the three the comment names. The loose toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(3) assertion also never checks that each returned item actually satisfies either OR branch, so a broken $or implementation could still pass. Assert every result meets the condition and correct the comment to list vec-2.

P3: passesLogicalFilter, passesComparisonFilter and isComparisonOperator are duplicated exactly between the LibSQL and Postgres adapters. If the comparison semantics are corrected, both copies must be updated in lockstep or they will drift. Consider extracting these shared helpers (e.g. into @voltagent/core) and importing them in both adapters.

feat(memory): add logical/comparison filters and cursor pagination to vector adapters

Bugs / Features
What is the current behavior?
VectorStore/ vector adapters only support exact metadata matching via thefilteroption.logicalFilteris declared as an array of filter groups but never evaluated in the adapters,comparisonFilter($gt/$lt) is partially parsed and misapplied on some fields, andpagination is absent — searches always return every matching row in a single page.
The LibSQL adapter scans all rows and deserializes each vector blob before applying any in-memory
predicates. The Postgres adapter uses string interpolation with
JSON.stringify(...)for metadatafiltering (and
this.pool.escape, which does not exist onpg.Pool), has no pagination wiring,and a WIP draft in
packages/libsql/src/vector-core.tsdid not even parse (stray});,double-backtick template literal).
What is the new behavior?
Vector searches across the LibSQL and Postgres adapters now support:
logicalFilter: { $and: [...] }(all conditions match) andlogicalFilter: { $or: [...] }(any condition matches) on metadata fields.comparisonFilter: { $gt, $lt }with correct numeric comparison(missing fields still pass, preserved from the previous contract).
cursoris an encoded id (encodeCursor/decodeCursorexported from
@voltagent/core, hex-encoded with noBuffer/btoadependency) and pagesvia a keyset predicate
id < $n(LibSQL) /id < $1(Postgres).filterconditions are pushed down asmetadata @> $n::jsonbwith a proper bound parameter (usingsafeStringify),eliminating the broken
pool.escape/JSON.stringifyinterpolation.id,metadata,content) are fetched andfiltered in memory first; vector blobs are only deserialized for surviving rows.
Behavior is unchanged when the new options are absent: filtering/pagination/numeric casts only
apply when the corresponding option is provided, and no SQL
LIMITis introduced so in-memorypredicates are not truncated.
Notes for reviewers
LIMITin either adapter: it would truncate rows before in-memorylogicalFilter/comparisonFilter/thresholdevaluation. Cursor pages are keyset-bound, sopages are not guaranteed to be score-contiguous.

Adds logical and comparison metadata filters plus cursor-based pagination to the LibSQL and Postgres vector adapters. Previously, only exact metadata matches were supported,
logicalFilterwas never evaluated,comparisonFilterwas partially parsed, and pagination was absent. The Postgres adapter's brokenpool.escapeinterpolation is replaced with a JSONB containment pushdown, and LibSQL now filters candidates before deserializing vector blobs. When the new options are absent, behavior is unchanged.Bug Fixes
