feat(mcp): relevance scoring overhaul for explore — kill incidental name-collision matches (CG-10, #1500)
Explore's per-file relevance awarded +50/+10/+3/+1 by match class and admitted
anything scoring >= 3. Neither half held up: the tier said HOW a symbol reached
us, never whether the match was evidence, and an absolute floor admits noise on
any repo where the top file scores 50+. Three scripts/agent-eval/*.mjs harnesses
took 63% of this repo's own "how does explore allocate its output budget" answer
on nothing but an unused `const explore` and a `const BUDGET`.
Four levers:
- KIND WEIGHT (RELEVANCE_KIND_WEIGHT): callables and types 1.0, members ~0.5,
variable/constant/parameter 0.15-0.35. A weak-kind symbol with no usage edge
anywhere in the graph (`contains` excluded — nesting is not usage) drops to
0.08. Only weak kinds in the top two tiers pay for the DB probe; the subgraph's
own edges answer most cases free. No measurable latency change (210 vs 211
ms/call, n=12 interleaved).
- PERIPHERAL CAP: nodes >=2 hops from any match accumulate into a bucket capped
at 5. Uncapped they added a flat +1 each, so a file grew more relevant by being
bigger — parse-session.mjs reached 22 off one constant plus twelve unrelated
symbols.
- RANK PENALTY: generated files x0.3, low-value x0.5, applied to the score AND
the graph mass. Score alone would not have fixed #1500 — the generated CRUD
carries MORE graph mass than the hand-written use-case, and graph mass outranks
score in the comparator. Self-normalizing, never a hard exclusion.
- RELATIVE FLOOR: clamp(topScore * 0.2, 1, 10). Capped at one full-strength
direct match so concentration elsewhere can never exclude one (without it a
named-seed-heavy file pushed the floor to 21 and dropped a file the agent had
named by class name). Backfills to 3 candidates when it would leave fewer, and
drops the evidence requirement rather than return nothing at all.
excludeLowValueFiles was dead config — declared per tier, read nowhere; the
test/spec exclusion has been unconditional for a while. Removed. The real gap was
the detector: `isLowValue` anchored on a leading `/`, so a repo-ROOT `test/` dir
(express, cobra, most of npm and Go) never matched — express's routing question
spent 59% of its envelope on three test files. Anchored at `^` too, and the
filter now runs before the floor and judges "are there other candidates?" on the
whole gather.
Measured before/after on the same indexes (baseline

test(explore): #1500 regression fixtures for budget allocation (CG-6)
Two permanent fixtures pinning the failure mode from issue #1500 — explore spending its byte envelope on files that merely name-collide with the query. BOTH FAIL TODAY, by design: they document the bug and become the pass gate for CG-10 (scoring) + CG-12 (proportional allocation). __tests__/fixtures/payroll-go/ — a synthetic Go service mirroring the reporter's shape: generated FKIT CRUD beside a hand-written payroll use-case, entered from an HTTP route. Half the generated tree carries ORDINARY names detectable only by their `// Code generated ... DO NOT EDIT.` header (the #1500 case, and end-to-end cover for CG-5); `payrollpb/*.pb.go` covers the path-detectable channel. BuildPayslip, Upsert and Store each exist twice, generated and hand-written. cycle.go sits above the whole-file window so it clips; the generated files sit below it so they ship whole. Asking "how does payroll cycle create and calculate payslips?" — naming none of the answering symbols — the generated CRUD delivers 57.4% of the envelope against the hand-written layer's 25.6%, all of the latter domain types. cycle.go is allocated the single largest slice (30.6%) and delivers ZERO: the hard ceiling drops its whole section. runPayrollCycleAll, the hand-written BuildPayslip and the real Upsert never reach the agent. The second fixture is this repo, "how does explore allocate its output budget across files", where scripts/agent-eval/*.mjs take 71.8% against tools.ts's 18.5% despite scoring 4.6x lower. It reads the live index, so its assertions are relative rather than fixed percentages. - scripts/agent-eval/probe-allocation.mjs — per-file budget-share probe, driving the CG-4 diagnostic through a JSONL sidecar so it measures the shipping allocator. Fixture entries are hermetic (copy + re-index per run, verified byte-identical across runs); exits 1 while any assertion fails. - scripts/agent-eval/allocation-fixtures.json — both fixtures declared, with the 2026-08-03 baselines. - __tests__/explore-allocation-1500.test.ts — fixture-shape assertions green today; the allocation assertions held as `it.fails` so the suite stays green while the bug is open and goes RED the moment it is fixed. Also documented and deliberately left unfixed: runPayrollCycleAll's `s.store.Upsert` edge resolves to the GENERATED Store.Upsert, not the hand-written one — same-name method resolution across two packages picks the wrong receiver. It is upstream of the allocation bug, so it belongs with CG-10's scoring work. Refs #1500 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
