+# OP#5: Dump Import Distribution - Bead bf-3gfw Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This bead addresses Open Problem #5 (Dump import distribution) by cataloging all dump variants and documenting clear guidance for when to use streaming vs broadcast import modes.
+
+## Work Completed
+
+### 1. Compatibility Matrix Documentation
+
+Created comprehensive compatibility matrix at `docs/dump-import/compatibility-matrix.md` that documents:
+
+**Fully Compatible Variants** (Streaming works):
+- Standard documents NDJSON (Meilisearch v1.0+)
+- Index settings (ranking rules, synonyms, filterable/sortable attributes, etc.)
+- Primary key configuration
+- Custom API keys with actions/indexes
+- All Meilisearch versions from v1.0 through v1.37+
+- Dictionary, proximity precision, embedders, faceting, pagination settings
+
+**Requires Broadcast Fallback**:
+- Tasks history (transient, not critical)
+- Dumps with existing `_miroir_shard` field (conflict)
+- Pre-v1.0 dump formats
+- Internal LMDB state (not functionally significant)
+- Snapshot-based dumps (`.ms.snapshot`)
+- Enterprise edition features (sharding, replication)
+- Old-style settings formats (v1.0-v1.2)
+- Large single-document payloads (OOM risk)
+
+### 2. Decision Tree
+
+Documented clear operator guidance:
+
+```
+Is the dump a standard Meilisearch .dump file?
+├─ No → Not supported (convert to .dump first)
+└─ Yes → Does it contain `_miroir_shard` field?
+    ├─ Yes → Use broadcast (or rename field)
+    └─ No → Is it from Meilisearch v1.0+?
+        ├─ No → Test with small subset first (may work)
+        └─ Yes → Does it require EE features?
+            ├─ Yes → Use broadcast
+            └─ No → Use streaming (recommended)
+```
+
+### 3. Field Conflict Documentation
+
+Documented the `_miroir_shard` field collision issue:
+- Detection mechanism
+- Auto-fallback behavior
+- Workaround options
+- Links to enhancement bead `miroir-zc2.6` (configurable shard field)
+
+### 4. Configuration Schema
+
+Configuration is already in place (`DumpImportConfig` in `crates/miroir-core/src/config/advanced.rs`):
+```yaml
+dump_import:
+  mode: streaming                  # streaming | broadcast (legacy)
+  batch_size: 1000
+  parallel_target_writes: 8
+  memory_buffer_bytes: 134217728   # 128 MiB
+  chunk_size_bytes: 268435456      # 256 MiB
+```
+
+### 5. Metrics and Observability
+
+Documented metrics for tracking fallback behavior:
+- `miroir_dump_import_mode{mode="streaming"|"broadcast"}`
+- `miroir_dump_import_fallback_total{reason="conflict"|"unsupported"|"manual"}`
+- `miroir_dump_import_conflict_field_detected_total{field}`
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+**Documentation**: ✅ Complete
+**Implementation**: ⚠️ Not yet implemented (see bead `miroir-zc2.5`)
+
+The CLI command `miroir-ctl dump import` currently returns a "not yet implemented" error message pointing to bead `miroir-zc2.5`.
+
+## Success Criteria Assessment
+
+| Criterion | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| Complete matrix of dump variants and their supported import modes | ✅ Complete | See `docs/dump-import/compatibility-matrix.md` |
+| Clear operator guidance on when to use each mode | ✅ Complete | Decision tree documented |
+| Streaming mode handles all common production dump variants | ⚠️ Pending | Requires implementation and testing |
+
+## Related Enhancements
+
+The compatibility matrix documents several future enhancements tracked as child beads of `miroir-zc2`:
+
+- `miroir-zc2.6`: Configurable shard metadata field name (addresses `_miroir_shard` conflicts)
+- `miroir-zc2.7`: Pre-import validation and field conflict detection
+- `miroir-zc2.8`: EE-to-CE dump conversion tool
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **For operators**: Use `docs/dump-import/compatibility-matrix.md` as the authoritative reference for dump import compatibility
+2. **For implementation**: See bead `miroir-zc2.5` for actual dump import implementation tracking
+3. **For testing**: Once implemented, test streaming import against each variant in the compatibility matrix
