 - `codegraph_explore` no longer re-sends source it already returned earlier in the same conversation. A file it has already shown you comes back as a short pointer — the path, the symbols and the exact line range, with confirmation that the file hasn't changed since — and the space that frees is spent on code you haven't seen yet, so a follow-up call covers new ground instead of repeating the last one. If a file was edited in between, its source is always shown again in full. Set `CODEGRAPH_EXPLORE_DEDUP=0` to turn this off.
 
+- When an agent connects over MCP, CodeGraph now states up front that it indexes 30+ languages — TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C#, C/C++, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, and more — so agents no longer assume a language isn't supported and skip the graph. (#671)

 ### Fixes
 
 - A long-lived index no longer drifts away from what a fresh `codegraph index` would produce. When a file gained or lost a symbol, references to that name in files the sync never touched kept pointing at the definition that was correct before the change, and — because nothing distinguished two same-named definitions — the winner could come down to the order files happened to be written, which differs between a full index and a sync. On this project's own repository, replaying 80 commits through `sync` left 5.7% of connections wrong; it is now 1.3%, and the wrong-answers-still-being-asserted half drops by 99.7%. Since call edges are what flow questions follow and what `codegraph_explore` ranks files by, this quietly degraded answers as an index aged, with nothing to indicate it. Syncing is unchanged in speed, and an edit that only changes a function's body does no extra work at all. Set `CODEGRAPH_NO_REBIND=1` to opt out.
