 ## Current State
 - **Branch**: `feat/next`
 - **Backup branch**: `feat/next-backup` (points to pre-perf-fix state, 306+ messy commits)
-- **Active plan**: none — commit plan executed, PR description updated
-- **Working on**: Consumer package migration (broken BSON imports) + performance verification
-- **Dirty files**: none (all committed)
-- **Failing tests**: none known for bson/type/type-compiler — consumer packages (rpc, mongo, broker, framework-debug-api) have broken BSON imports that will fail at compile
+- **Active plan**: none
+- **Working on**: BSON deserialize performance investigation (user wants >13x vs bson-js)
+- **Dirty files**: uncommitted — bson v7 upgrade, PR description update (29 files, see git diff --stat)
+- **Failing tests**: none known for bson/type/type-compiler. Consumer packages (rpc, mongo, broker, framework-debug-api) have broken BSON imports (deferred to separate session).
 - **Master worktree**: `/Users/marc/bude/deepkit-master` — fully built, has compiled benchmarks (`packages/bson/tsconfig.bench.json` → `dist/bench/`)
-- **Verification command**: `git log --oneline -5` (expect: 21 semantic commits, top is `chore: update handover...`, below it `docs(website)...`, `fix: update remaining packages...`, etc.)
+- **Verification command**: `git diff --stat` (expect: 29 files changed — bson v7 upgrade + PR description updates)
 
 ## Next Steps
-1. **Prove performance is still optimal** — Run BSON and type benchmarks vs master and bson vs bson-js. bson-js should be updated to newest version first. Benchmark files:
-   - feat/next perf-regression: `node --import @deepkit/run --test packages/bson/tests/serialize/perf-regression.spec.ts` and `tests/deserialize/perf-regression.spec.ts`
-   - master comparison: `cd /Users/marc/bude/deepkit-master && npx tsc -p packages/bson/tsconfig.bench.json && node --expose-gc packages/bson/dist/bench/benchmarks/compare-bench.js`
-   - type benchmarks: `packages/type/benchmarks/compare-bench.ts` (feat/next), master has equivalent in its worktree
-2. **Fix consumer package BSON imports** — See Suppressed Issues for the full list. Key broken packages: rpc, mongo, broker, broker-redis, framework-debug-api. See `docs/pr-description.md` "Open TODOs" section for migration details.
-3. **Verify final state** — Full test suite must pass after consumer migrations
+1. **Investigate BSON deserialize performance ceiling** — Currently only 5–13x faster than bson-js v7 for deserialization. User considers this insufficient. Compare against manually-written optimal deserializer to find bottleneck. Key benchmarks: `packages/bson/tests/deserialize/perf-regression.spec.ts`. Profile shape JIT code path for overhead.
+2. **Fix consumer package BSON imports** — Key broken packages: rpc, mongo, broker, broker-redis, framework-debug-api. See Suppressed Issues for file locations. See `docs/pr-description.md` "Open TODOs" for migration details. (User said: do in separate session)
+3. **Commit the dirty files** — bson v7 upgrade + PR description updates need to be committed.
 
 ## Alignment Check
-- **Goal**: Get feat/next branch ready for PR — all tests passing, performance proven, clean commit history
-- **Scope boundary**: The commit plan is DONE (21 commits). Focus is now on (a) proving perf is optimal, (b) fixing broken consumer imports. Do NOT re-squash commits.
-- **Plan file**: none — commit plan was executed this session
+- **Goal**: Get feat/next branch ready as Deepkit v2 — all tests passing, performance maximized, clean history
+- **Scope boundary**: Consumer package migration is deferred. Do NOT re-squash commits. Focus is on (a) deserialize perf investigation, (b) eventually fixing consumer imports.
+- **Plan file**: none
 - **Recovery**: `git reset --hard feat/next-backup` restores the 306+ commit history (loses clean squash)
 
 ## Tasks
-- [ ] **Update bson-js to latest version** — Check if `bson` npm package in the repo is latest. Update and re-run comparison benchmarks. [status: pending]
-- [ ] **Run BSON perf benchmarks vs master** — Run both serialize and deserialize perf-regression tests on feat/next AND master compare-bench.ts. Verify all ratios hold. [status: pending]
-- [ ] **Run type perf benchmarks vs master** — Ensure all 12 type benchmarks still beat master. [status: pending]
-- [ ] **Fix consumer BSON imports (rpc)** — `packages/rpc/src/protocol.ts` uses Writer, getBSONSizer, BsonStreamReader. Needs refactored message construction. HIGH complexity. [status: pending]
-- [ ] **Fix consumer BSON imports (mongo)** — `packages/mongo/src/client/connection.ts` uses BSONBinarySerializer, Writer, getBSONSizer. Needs new serializer composition. HIGH complexity. [status: pending]
-- [ ] **Fix consumer BSON imports (broker)** — `packages/broker/src/snapshot.ts` uses old getBSONSerializer return type. `packages/broker/src/adapters/deepkit-adapter.ts` uses getBsonEncoder. LOW complexity. [status: pending]
-- [ ] **Fix consumer BSON imports (broker-redis)** — Remove AutoBuffer, fix getBsonEncoder → getBSONEncoder. MEDIUM complexity. [status: pending]
+- [ ] **Investigate BSON deserialize perf ceiling** — Deserialize is only 5–13x vs bson-js v7 (serialize is 2–224x). Write a manually-optimized deserializer for a sensor doc to find theoretical max, then compare with generated JIT code. Identify specific overhead sources. [status: pending]
+- [ ] **Commit bson v7 upgrade + PR description updates** — 29 dirty files. bson ^4.4.0 → ^7.2.0, 26 test import fixes, 4 threshold adjustments, PR description rewrite. [status: pending]
+- [ ] **Fix consumer BSON imports (rpc)** — `packages/rpc/src/protocol.ts` uses Writer, getBSONSizer, BsonStreamReader. HIGH complexity. [status: pending]
+- [ ] **Fix consumer BSON imports (mongo)** — `packages/mongo/src/client/connection.ts` uses BSONBinarySerializer, Writer, getBSONSizer. HIGH complexity. [status: pending]
+- [ ] **Fix consumer BSON imports (broker + broker-redis)** — broker: tuple destructure, renamed encoder. broker-redis: remove AutoBuffer, fix case. LOW-MEDIUM complexity. [status: pending]
 - [ ] **Fix consumer BSON imports (framework-debug-api)** — `packages/framework-debug-api/src/stopwatch-encoding.ts` uses Writer, BaseParser, getBSONSizer, stringByteLength. MEDIUM complexity. [status: pending]

 - ✅ [2026-02-08] **`getBSONSerializer` returns `[sharedBuffer, size]` — buffer is reused across ALL serializers globally**. Callers must copy with `buf.slice(0, size)`.
 - ✅ [2026-02-08] **BSONBuildState `forIndex()` must NOT increment depth** — Incrementing depth caused extraction at MAX_DEPTH=3, 60-90x slower for cursor responses.
 - ✅ [2026-02-08] **Shape JIT must handle primitive arrays** — Without inline, documents with `string[]`/`number[]` cause shape JIT BAILOUT.
-- ✅ [2026-02-08] **BenchSuite executor does NOT prevent V8 dead-code elimination** — Use `sink` variable.
-- ✅ [2026-02-08] **Master BSON benchmark needs compiled JS** — `tsconfig.bench.json` with `"reflection": true`, compile with tsc, run from `dist/bench/`.
-- ⚠️ [2026-02-08] **BSON array deserialize improvement limited at scale** — Single-doc sensor 1.8x faster, but sensor[]1K cursor ~same speed. Setup/overhead improvement is amortized; per-element byte-reading cost is similar between branches (~55-60ns/sensor). Serialize arrays DO scale (12x faster) due to buffer reuse.
+- ✅ [2026-02-08] **BSON array deserialize improvement limited at scale** — Per-element cost ~55-60ns on both branches. Setup overhead amortized across 1000 elements.
+- ⚠️ [2026-02-08] **bson-js v7 dropped default export** — Must use `import * as bson from 'bson'` instead of `import bson from 'bson'`. Also removed `@types/bson` (v7 ships own types).
+- ⚠️ [2026-02-08] **bson-js v7 is 2–5x faster than v4** — Our absolute perf unchanged, but comparison ratios drop. Thresholds in perf-regression tests adjusted.
+- ⚠️ [2026-02-08] **bson-js has no pre-allocated buffer API** — `serialize()` always allocates `Buffer.allocUnsafe()`. No `serializeInto()`. Buffer alloc + GC is their top overhead for small docs (~50-80ns).

 ## Open Questions
-- **BSON array deserialize does NOT benefit from single-doc speedup** — Per-element cost ~55-60ns on both branches. Setup overhead (33ns improvement) is amortized across 1000 elements. Optimization target: investigate if shape JIT can reduce per-element overhead for array deserialization.
+- **Why is BSON deserialize only 5–13x vs bson-js v7?** — Serialize is 2–224x faster, but deserialize ceiling is 13x. User considers this unacceptable. Need to profile the generated JIT code against a hand-written optimal deserializer to identify specific bottlenecks. Potential areas: shape JIT overhead, field name parsing, object allocation, property assignment.
