Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 47576b392e feat(ui): saved trails — a walk you named, kept, and still true after a re-index (CG-60)
Save trail on the trail bar writes the walk to .codegraph/ui/trails/ as one
JSON file, listed on the empty screen and on Entry points above the derived
suggestions, reopened at the symbol you left with the whole path restored.

A hop is stored by qualified name, kind and file — never by node id, which
contains a start line and so changes the first time anybody edits above the
symbol. Every hop is re-resolved against the current index on the way out and
each row says what became of it: still here, moved to another file, now
ambiguous, or gone. A hole is never stitched over: the row opens the longest
run of CONSECUTIVE resolved hops and says which ones those are, because the
trail is a path and a skipped hop would draw a call that does not exist.

This is the first write the viewer makes, and the boundary moved with it:
POST/DELETE answer under /api/ only, must carry X-CodeGraph-UI and
application/json (neither of which a cross-origin form can produce without a
preflight this server answers none of), and --read-only refuses both while
still listing what is there. The blanket "read-only" claim is retired from the
banner, the README, the CLI help and the docs site in favour of the narrower
true one.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 56dfdb0655 feat(ui): dead code and islands — what nothing reaches, and everything that could still reach it (CG-59)
A Dead code screen and a mark on the Map, both drawn from one derivation in
src/graph/dead-code.ts so a second surface can never disagree with the first.

The SQL half is four lines — no incoming edge but `contains`. It returns ~2 500
candidates on this repository and the shipped list is 20; everything in between
is the feature. A candidate is dropped the moment there is any reason to believe
something outside the graph reaches it: exported symbols and header
declarations, test and generated files, abstract and interface members, anything
carrying a `decorates` edge, overrides of an ancestor's member, names the
language calls by itself, vendored directories, files nothing in the index
reaches (those are islands, and the Map says so instead), names the resolver
failed to resolve somewhere, and names shared with a symbol that IS referenced —
the mis-resolution that leaves a used method with a self-edge and its twin with
nothing. The last rule is the only one that is not a graph query: before a claim
is made, the declaring file and every file that reaches it are read and the
identifier counted, which is what catches the references the extractor never
recorded (`this.handleMessage.bind(this)`, a call inside an object literal, a
shorthand property).

Every subtraction is counted and printed under the list with the scale it came
from, and the caveat line above it never collapses: the claim is "no static
reference in the index", not "unused".

On the Map a module nothing depends on keeps its stroke and says so in its count
line, and tool-generated files and modules recede to ink-4 there, in the map's
file list, in search results and on the file screen.

Colby McHenry 2a0c6dc58f feat(ui): the type hierarchy — what a type is built on, and what dispatches through it (CG-58)
A vertical tree above the members outline for classes, interfaces, structs,
traits, protocols, enums, unions and type aliases: ancestors above (the whole
chain, not just the direct parent), the focus in accent, subtypes below indented
per level. `extends` draws solid, `implements` dashed; a synthesized edge — Go's
implicit interface satisfaction — draws dashed wider and carries the site it was
wired at, so a relation the resolver inferred never reads like one the source
wrote down. For an interface the fan below IS the set of runtime targets a call
can land on, and a type with eight or more implementers leads with that in a
sentence. Members that redeclare an ancestor's are marked in the outline.

The walk lives in `src/graph/type-hierarchy.ts`, following CG-50/CG-51: shared
computation in `src/graph/`, presentation in the caller. Its `countImplementers`
is now also what `ToolHandler.buildPolymorphicBoundaries` counts with, so "N
types implement X" is the same N whether an agent reads it or a person does.
`/api/node` carries the block as `hierarchy` rather than a second endpoint —
it is part of the Symbol view's first paint, and gated to types, so a function
costs one kind test.

Layout is arithmetic (24px rows, 22px indent, orthogonal connectors computed
from the two): no ResizeObserver, same payload → same picture. The header's
`extends X` / `implemented by …` chips are suppressed while the tree is on
screen — two renderings of one relation in one column is how a reader ends up
trusting neither.

`TypeHierarchy` is exported from `@colbymchenry/codegraph-ui` and takes its data
as a prop, so a host holding a `WireSymbolPayload` renders it without a second
read.

Colby McHenry c15413f200 feat(ui): the viewer's screens as @colbymchenry/codegraph-ui, behind one adapter (CG-61)
`ui/src` now builds two ways from one tree: the static app `codegraph ui`
serves, and — via `svelte-package` — a Svelte library the Pro app imports.
A forked component would be a second answer to the same question about the
same graph, so there is no fork.

Everything a screen knows arrives through a `GraphAdapter`: eleven methods
answering the wire shapes verbatim, with `createHttpAdapter()` (the loopback
JSON API) as the default and a host's in-process engine reads as the point.
`lib/api.ts` became a one-line-per-call facade over it, which is why no call
site in the views changed. The payload types moved to `lib/wire.ts` — no
imports, no runtime — so a host can depend on the vocabulary alone.

Two more seams and one guard:

- `lib/navigation.ts` holds the href builders behind a `NavigationDriver`, so
  a host addresses its own URL space. The app's half — the hash parser and the
  live route, which attach window listeners at module scope — stays in
  `router.svelte.ts` and is pruned out of the package: rendering a Symbol view
  must not install a hash router in somebody else's application.
- `lib/theme.css` carries the design tokens and maps Svelte Flow's `--xy-*`
  variables onto them, so a host never sees library defaults. Dark now also
  answers to a bare `[data-theme]`, which is how `<CodegraphUi theme>` themes
  a container rather than the document.
- `scripts/check-ui-package.mjs` prunes the app's shell, resolves the
  extensionless specifiers svelte-package leaves behind, and asserts that
  nothing but `lib/adapter.js` reaches the network.

The search box, its keyboard and its panel are one component now
(`SearchPalette`), because splitting them is what breaks a palette.

`__tests__/ui-package.test.ts` mounts the three screens from the package entry
against a mock adapter in jsdom; it runs as a second vitest project so the
`browser` resolve condition it needs cannot reach the engine's suites.

Versioned with the engine. Prepared, not published: `private: true` is the
guard and `pack-npm.sh` only packs a tarball under CODEGRAPH_PACK_UI=1.

Colby McHenry ad91c8fdd8 feat(ui): classify code from the engine's own tree-sitter parse, retiring Shiki (CG-57)
The viewer ran a second highlighter over source the engine had already parsed
with a real grammar: Shiki, plus 56 pruned TextMate grammars shipped in
dist/textmate/. The classification now comes off that tree instead, so a file is
read by exactly the grammar that decided what its symbols are.

The swap is complete rather than flagged: @shikijs/core, @shikijs/engine-javascript
and @shikijs/langs are off the dependency list, scripts/prune-grammars.mjs and
`npm run build:textmate` are deleted, and check-ui-build.mjs asserts the
tree-sitter grammars in dist/extraction/wasm instead of dist/textmate.

The wire contract is unchanged — `[classId, text]` pairs with the class names
alongside — so the viewer's decoder and code blocks did not have to be rewritten.
Two classes are added to the six: `type` (a named type reference, painted at
plain ink) and `def` (the name a definition declares, weight 600), the latter
taken from the extractors' own definition tables so it cannot drift from what
indexing calls a definition.

Three differences are not cosmetic:

* Interpolations (`${…}`, `#{…}`, `$"{…}"`, f-strings) are classified as code,
  not as string. The call-site overlay refuses to claim a token classed string,
  so calls written inside interpolated strings now link.
* Built-in type words are emitted whole and classed `type` in every language.
  The grammars disagree about whether `string` is a type_identifier or an
  anonymous token inside a predefined_type, and TextMate scoped them
  inconsistently too.
* 3 000 lines of TypeScript cost 24-41 ms instead of ~700 ms.

Given up deliberately: Liquid, Razor, YAML, Twig, XML and .properties render
plain. .svelte/.vue/.astro are classified through their <script> blocks, the same
delegation the SFC extractors do. Pulling html/css/vue out of tree-sitter-wasms
would cover them, but those ABI-13 builds are the known cause of shared-WASM-heap
corruption for every other language in the same process.

Measured parity, per-language before/after screenshots and the reproduction
recipe: docs/design/cg57-highlighting-parity.md.

Colby McHenry 8ac0138940 feat(ui): copy the flow or the map as an image, for a PR comment or a README (CG-55)
"Copy image" and "Download SVG" on the Flow strip's header and in the Map's
side panel. The image is the distribution loop: a flow pasted into a review, a
map pasted into a README, read by somebody with no viewer open.

The exporter serialises the LAYOUT OBJECT rather than scraping the DOM — no
html-to-image, no foreignObject, no new dependency. buildFlowLayout and
buildMapLayout already compute every rectangle, port and curve before a
component renders, so the image and the screen come from one piece of
arithmetic and cannot drift apart, and the whole exporter is a pure function a
test runs with no browser. Output is presentation-only SVG (rect, line, path,
polygon, text, tspan, clipPath) — no script, no external reference, no data:
URL — which is what GitHub's sanitiser accepts in a README.

Light theme is forced whatever the viewer is set to: a dark strip on GitHub's
white comment background reads as a mistake, not a preference. 24px of paper
around the drawing, a caption naming the path or the root at the bottom left,
a CodeGraph mark at the bottom right.

Fonts travel as family stacks, not bytes (spec). An SVG loaded as an image may
not fetch a webfont, so a raster falls back to the platform's own monospace —
every fallback in the stack advances at ~0.6em like IBM Plex Mono, so the code
grid survives and only the letterforms change. Text is truncated
arithmetically with an ellipsis and clipped as well, so a wider fallback
cannot spill a source line out of a card.

`scale` multiplies only the root width/height while the viewBox stays in CSS
pixels, so the raster draws an image whose intrinsic size is already 2x
instead of upscaling a 1x bitmap. The clipboard write uses the ClipboardItem
promise form (Safari discards the gesture across an await) and falls back to
downloading the PNG, saying which happened rather than claiming a copy it did
not make.

Measured on this repo: execute -> rowToFileRecord (8 hops) exports 3690x253
CSS px, 491 kB PNG at 2x / 38 kB SVG; the 16-module map reproduces the canvas
exactly — 16 boxes, 52 links, 9 layer rules, both band labels, and with
src/index.ts selected 15 links and 4 dimmed boxes.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 94f4e287e6 feat(ui): entry points — routes, executable files and tests as flow starting points (CG-54)
`#/entry` answers "where does anything start" at full length, and turns any row
that names a symbol into a flow.

Server. `/api/entrypoints` gains `frameworks` (from `getDetectedFrameworks`), a
`tests` list, a `routes` limit of its own, and a cache keyed on the index build
— nothing here is read from disk, so unlike `/api/source` a cached answer cannot
be stale about drift. `routes.items` is now a `WireList` like every other list on
the payload.

Routes carry where the URL is REGISTERED as well as where it is served:
`getRoutingManifest` selects the route node's id, file and line, and
`buildRoutes` splits the verb off the name against a fixed list (never "the
first word", which would take the head off a file-routed `/blog/[slug]`). All
four payroll-go routes register in one router file and three are served from
another — group by the handler file and one router becomes two groups plus an
orphan.

`isTestFile` is split into `isTestPath` (test filename and directory
conventions) + the non-production catch-all, byte-identical at every existing
call site. The Tests list uses the narrow half: an example, a benchmark or a
fixture is off-target for ranking but is not a test, and a heading that says
"Tests" must not quietly count them. Tests rank by REACH — distinct other files
touched — because Go, Rust and Java put test work inside functions where a
module-level-calls ranking sees nothing. Two read-only engine queries make that
affordable: `getFileReachCounts` (the mirror of `getFileDependentCounts`, driven
from `nodes` by path so the cost follows the files asked about rather than the
edge table) and `getFileNodes`.

Viewer. `ui/src/lib/entry-model.ts` folds the four lists into file groups —
pure, and `panel.rows` stays exactly the sections it draws. `EntryView` +
`EntrySection` render them with the caller rail's `.filegroup` / `.row` shapes
rather than a second visual language for the same idea. A row that names a
callable symbol carries a `Flow ›` chip; the other end is typed or picked with
`→ here` on another row. File and test rows carry none: `/api/flow` searches by
name, and a file has none the path finder can look up.

A project with fewer than three resolvable routes gets no Routes heading at all,
not an empty one. Typing into the search box now also returns matching entry
points under their own heading below the symbol matches, so a URL comes back
with its handler attached; rows already in the results are dropped.

Colby McHenry dc7f1e590e feat(ui): where the graph stops — the Flow strip's dynamic-dispatch end cap (CG-51)
A flow that does not reach what it was asked about now ends in a cap instead
of in silence: the dispatch form that ended it, the line, the static key when
the source spells one out, the candidate runtime targets as clickable rows,
and the name-only matches under 0.6 the search refused to follow. A flow that
does reach its destination never shows one.

The verdict is lifted out of `ToolHandler` into
`src/graph/dynamic-boundary-report.ts` and both callers render it —
`codegraph_explore`'s prose and `/api/flow`'s `WireFlowBoundary` — the same
move `named-symbol-flow.ts` made for the path finder, and for the same reason:
a reader holding the strip and the MCP answer must not be told two different
things. The explore prose is unchanged, byte for byte.

When nothing connects at all and a dispatch site explains why, the strip is
that site: one card opened at the line where the static path ends, plus the
cap. When nothing explains it, no stopping point is invented.

Colby McHenry ecd6e1cd15 feat(ui): live refresh and drift banners — the viewer keeps up with the project (CG-53)
`GET /api/events` is a server-sent-event stream the viewer holds open for the
life of the page. Two signals, two things the browser could not know:

  changed  source files touched on disk, before any sync — the drift banner
  index    the graph moved, naming what the sync re-indexed — the live refresh

The server WATCHES and never syncs: the project tree through the engine's own
FileWatcher with a notify-only syncFn, the index through one non-recursive
fs.watch on the data directory settled at 400 ms. Both start with the first
subscriber and stop with the last, so a viewer nobody has open costs no watch
descriptors. Nothing polls, on either side.

Drift is now parity with codegraph_node (#1474) rather than an absence.
`/api/source?ondrift=current` serves a drifted file's CURRENT bytes flagged
`showing: 'current'`, and the three screens that can say so switch off
everything anchored to the old line numbering — gutter ports, call-site links,
call arcs, the callee rail's anchoring — while keeping the source. The banner is
paper-2 with a hairline rule, never amber: amber belongs to the untested badge.

Also fixes a stale read this exposed. A long-lived reader holds an LRU of nodes
by id that only its own writes invalidate, so `/api/node/<id>` kept answering
with a symbol another process's sync had deleted while `/api/search` beside it
said it was gone. GraphSession now drops the read caches when the database (or
its WAL) has been written, and the Symbol view follows a symbol whose id changed
because an edit above it moved its start line, carrying the trail across.

Measured on a live viewer: banner 360 ms after a save, toast 440 ms after
`codegraph sync` returns, 0 requests in 4 idle seconds, and the client gives up
reconnecting after ~90 s with "Not live" rather than hammering a dead port.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 bd99c5e99a feat(ui): the whole file — full source with gutter ports and intra-file call arcs (CG-52)
The File view gains a Source tab: the file itself, top to bottom, with the
Symbol view's line grid, gutter ports and call-site links, a line-anchored
callee rail, and — in the left margin — an arc for every call that stays inside
the file, drawn from the calling line to the callee's definition line.

The arcs are the point. Source order is already a layout, chosen by whoever
wrote the file, so a file's internal call structure can be drawn with no
algorithm placing anything. Crabviz's idea, in the one place it is legible.

Everything is arithmetic, not measurement. The Symbol view queries the laid-out
DOM to place a callee row beside its line; a 6 820-line file cannot afford that.
Here a line is exactly 20px at `10 + (n - 1) x 20`, so ~90 line elements exist at
a time and the arcs, ports, rail rows and connectors are all functions of a line
number. `src/mcp/tools.ts` scrolls at a 16.6ms median frame.

- `GET /api/filecode/<path>` — outline, one call group per (caller, callee) PAIR
  with its call-site lines, unresolved references, and the file's length. The
  source is NOT in it: it pages through `/api/source` 800 lines at a time with a
  discarded 150-line lead-in, so a page starting inside a block comment does not
  render prose as code, and so the ports and arcs are complete from the first
  frame while the text fills in behind them.
- `intraFileCalls` is counted over the groups actually returned, so the header
  and the picture under it cannot disagree once a cap bites.
- Above 40 arcs the diagram narrows to the symbol under the pointer (or the one
  the scroll position is inside) and the header states the total. Accent is for
  the pointer only, never for the filter.
- Sticky outline rail at >= 1400px, following the reader down the file.
- `QueryBuilder.getUnresolvedReferencesInFile` — one indexed lookup instead of
  one per symbol; `buildOutlineEntries` lifted out of `/api/file` so both
  readings of a file draw the same rows.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 58dad12f89 feat(ui): the File view — outline in source order between two dependency rails (CG-46)
Clicking a file path now opens the file itself: what reaches into it, its
symbols in source order, and what it reaches.

The two rails count DEPENDENCIES, not import statements. The prototype drew
`imports` edges; on this repo `src/graph/traversal.ts` imports two files and
depends on four, because it reaches the LRU cache through a call no import
names. A rail headed "Imports 2" would be quietly wrong about what changing the
file would touch, which is the only question the screen answers — so the rails
read `getFileDependencies` / `getFileDependents` and merge the import rows in
for the symbol names. Imports that resolved to nothing indexed keep their own
section rather than vanishing.

The outline is windowed above 250 rows against a fixed 28px row: this repo's
own fixtures hold a 1,681-symbol `.d.ts`, and paging it would hide the one
thing an outline is for. `src/mcp/tools.ts` draws its 135 rows whole.

`/api/file` gains `topLevel.calls` — module-level calls out of the file node —
so a file that RUNS something offers the badge that opens it as a symbol, the
only place code belonging to no symbol can be read.

File results in the search palette and the entry-point list now land here
rather than on the file node's Symbol view.

Colby McHenry 2ad836d935 feat(ui): highlight source server-side with a near-monochrome Shiki theme (CG-43)
The viewer's code block stops lexing with a hand-rolled dialect table and
reads real TextMate grammars instead, run once in `/api/source`.

Three things make that safe to depend on:

* Highlighting never fails a request. A missing grammar, an oversized
  slice, an ESM import that did not resolve — every one of them answers
  `engine: 'plain'` with a reason and the source still goes out.
* Identifiers survive whatever token boundaries a grammar chose. Every
  code token is split into identifier runs before it goes on the wire, so
  the graph's call-site overlay claims a token the highlighter produced
  rather than re-cutting the line. `assignRefs` now matches on a token's
  text rather than on the class a grammar gave it, so a language that
  scopes type names as `storage.type` still links.
* The theme classifies rather than colours: its foregrounds are sentinels
  the server maps back to class names, and the viewer paints them from
  CSS custom properties — one token stream serves light and dark with no
  refetch, and the ramp lives only in app.css.

Comments move from --ink-3 to a new --code-comment. --ink-3 measures
3.46:1 on paper and 3.00:1 on the hot-line tint, both under AA for 12.5px
text; --code-comment is the smallest step along the same ramp that clears
4.5:1 on every background a code line can have, and stays quieter than
the strings and numbers above it.

Shipping: @shikijs/core and @shikijs/engine-javascript are runtime
dependencies (no wasm, no native module); @shikijs/langs stays a
devDependency and `npm run build:textmate` writes only the closure the
engine's 40-odd languages reach — 56 grammars, 2.6 MB, against 11 MB for
all 722. check-ui-build.mjs asserts the tree after every build and inside
every release archive.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 87afc50e76 feat(ui): the search palette, entry points and a trail that survives the URL (CG-45)
Search: `/` or ⌘K focuses the box; results arrive grouped by kind with their
glyph, signature and file:line, ↑/↓/Enter walk them, Esc dismisses. A group
appears where its best result did, so flattening the groups reproduces the
ranking the keyboard walks — the panel's flat item list IS that concatenation.
A flow question ("how does X reach Y", "X -> Y") is recognised and searches
both endpoints with a note, rather than offering a row that would land on the
phase-2 Flow view.

Entry points answer "where do I start" on the empty screen and in the resting
palette, all derived from the graph: routes, files that run something at module
level (the engine records a top-level statement as an edge out of the file node,
which is what makes src/bin/codegraph.ts the root of the CLI flow — ranked by
calls x the files they reach, so a registration table calling into itself does
not outrank the CLI), and the most depended-on symbols. Tests are excluded from
both derived lists.

Trail: hops record the direction they were walked (→ into a call, ← up to a
caller), clicking one truncates back to it, Clear keeps the place instead of
throwing it away, and the whole walk travels in the URL. A shared or reloaded
trail arrives as ids, so hops learn their names back through a new batch
endpoint and a session name cache — without it, walking back across a
truncation redrew earlier hops as raw hashes. "Read as flow" stays hidden until
there is a Flow view to send it to.

New endpoints: /api/entrypoints and /api/nodes. New engine reads:
getTopCallingFiles, getFileDependentCounts.

Colby McHenry a72f22a6d3 feat(ui): scaffold the codegraph ui viewer as a Svelte 5 + Vite workspace (CG-40)
Adds `ui/` as an npm workspace (Svelte 5.56 + Vite 7, devDependencies only —
the engine's runtime dependencies are untouched) and chains its build into
`npm run build`, so the browser viewer ships inside `dist/` with everything
else: `build-bundle.sh` already copies `dist` wholesale and `pack-npm.sh`
packs that bundle.

Output is `dist/viewer/`, NOT `dist/ui/`: `src/ui/` is the engine's terminal
ui (shimmer progress + its worker) and tsc compiles it to `dist/ui/`, so
emitting there both deletes those modules — the CLI then dies at startup with
`Cannot find module '../ui/shimmer-progress'` — and would leave the static
server handing out compiled engine internals. The design spec is corrected to
match.

`scripts/check-ui-build.mjs` is the release guard: index.html must exist, be
non-trivial, and every local asset it references must be on disk, and the
compiled engine next door must still be intact. It runs after every UI build,
again in `build-bundle.sh` once the bundle stage has copied `dist`, and again
in `pack-npm.sh` once each archive is unpacked — so a broken viewer fails the
release instead of shipping a CLI that serves a 404.

`vite build` does not override an ambient NODE_ENV, so a shell or runner with
NODE_ENV=development silently shipped dev-mode Svelte (~13 kB of dev-only
runtime checks, warning in the user's console). The config now pins production
for `command === 'build'`; macOS and Windows ARM64 then emit byte-identical
bundle hashes.

The shell itself follows docs/design/codegraph-ui-design-spec.md §2–§3.1:
design tokens as CSS custom properties (light on bare `:root`, dark under both
`prefers-color-scheme` and `[data-theme="dark"]`), square corners, hairline
rules, one oxblood accent; top bar 48px / trail bar 34px / main; a hash router
over `#/s/<id>`, `#/file/<path>`, with `#/map` and `#/flow` reserved for phase
2. Fonts are vendored through @fontsource rather than fetched, so a local
reader works offline and never announces the project to a CDN.

Verified: clean `npm run build` from an empty dist on macOS and on the Windows
ARM64 VM (forward-slash asset URLs, CLI still starts, both assertion failure
modes exit 1); `dist/viewer` present in a real darwin-arm64 bundle and in the
packed npm platform package; shell geometry, tokens, all seven routes, both
themes and font loading checked in headless Chromium with no console errors;
`npm test` unaffected.

Colby MchenryandGitHub 838006c947 fix(kernel): guard the native walkers against stack overflow and defer deep files to wasm (#1581) (#1600)
Fixes #1581.

## What was wrong

`codegraph init` / `codegraph index` died with `Segmentation fault` — the whole CLI
process, not a parse worker — on a C/C++ file with very deep brace nesting (llvm's
`clang/test/Parser/parser_overflow.c`, 16,384 nested `{`). The reporter's diagnosis is
exactly right: tree-sitter's parser is iterative, so the file parses fine, and then the
native kernel's **recursive walker** (`visit_node` → `visit_for_calls_and_structure` → …,
one frame per AST level) overflowed the thread's stack. A native overflow can't be caught
the way a wasm abort can, and a parse worker is a thread of the `codegraph` process, so
the SIGSEGV took the entire indexer down — no message, no per-file fallback, no partial
index.

Two things made "just give the worker a bigger stack" the wrong fix:

- it only moves the cliff — reproduced here: the reporter's 16,384-deep file kills a
  default 4 MiB worker (rc=132 on macOS / 139 on Linux), and a 100k-deep file kills the
  8 MiB **main** thread too;
- the walkers are shared by every kernel-routed language (20 of them), and each has
  several recursion points with different frame sizes, so no single stack size is a
  provable bound.

Meanwhile the wasm path already handles this shape gracefully: its JS walker catches its
own `RangeError` per file and stores a partial result with a `parse_error`. The kernel
just needed a way to get there instead of dying.

## What this does

**The kernel guards its own recursion against the calling thread's real stack bounds and
defers a too-deep file to wasm** — the same `defer:` routing signal it already uses for
files with parse errors, which `src/extraction/kernel/index.ts` treats as "take the wasm
path for this file", silently.

- `codegraph-kernel/src/stack.rs`: per-thread stack bounds from the OS, computed once per
  thread and cached — glibc/musl `pthread_getattr_np` + `pthread_attr_getstack`, macOS
  `pthread_get_stackaddr_np` + `pthread_get_stacksize_np`, Win32
  `GetCurrentThreadStackLimits` (a hand-declared `kernel32` extern; no `windows-sys`).
  `exhausted()` is one thread-local load and one compare: true once the stack pointer is
  within a 256 KiB red zone of the limit, and it latches a flag. Where the OS can't report
  bounds it falls back to a fixed 1 MiB descent budget measured from the entry stack
  pointer — safe on anything from Node's 4 MiB worker default up. So the guard is exact on
  the 4 MiB worker, the 8 MiB main thread, and any `resourceLimits.stackSizeMb` alike.
- `stack_guard!()` (defined in `lib.rs`) is the first statement of every recursive walker
  function — all **150** self-recursive or on-cycle functions across the 15 walker modules,
  found by script (every cycle in the call graph, not just direct self-calls). It returns
  `Default::default()` (`()`, `false`, `None`, `""`) so an exhausted walk simply stops
  descending; a hook returning `false` sends its caller down the generic child walk, whose
  own guard returns at once.
- `extract_file` runs the whole walk under `stack::run_guarded`: if the flag is set
  afterwards the (truncated) result is discarded and replaced by
  `defer: nesting too deep for the native walker — wasm recovery handles it`.
- `parse-pool.ts`: a comment at `new Worker(scriptPath)` records why there is deliberately
  no `resourceLimits.stackSizeMb` bump.
- No new crates beyond `libc` as a direct unix dependency (already in `Cargo.lock`
  transitively). No wire/ABI change.

Net effect for the reporter's repo: `deep.c` goes to the wasm path, lands as
`function foo` plus a recorded parse warning, and the other 31,607 files index normally.
`CODEGRAPH_KERNEL=0` and the `exclude` workaround are no longer needed.

## Tests

**Rust unit tests** (`cargo test`, 21 passed — 7 new in `stack.rs`): the walkers for
C, C++, Rust, TypeScript and Python are driven on a **1 MiB** thread (a quarter of Node's
worker default) with 30k-deep nesting and must return `defer:` instead of crashing;
shallow files are untouched; the latch resets between runs; the OS bounds are sane on the
main thread and describe a small thread's own stack.

**`__tests__/kernel-deep-nesting.test.ts`** (new, 8 tests — skips without a staged `.node`,
fails under `CODEGRAPH_KERNEL_EXPECT=1` if the kernel is missing, like the other kernel
suites):
- every default-routed language (all 20) survives a 60k-deep expression on the main thread
  — clean result or the wasm fallback's partial result, never a crash;
- the reporter's exact 16,384-brace C file is indexed (partial) on the main thread;
- 200-deep expressions in every language still take the kernel path clean (the guard never
  trips on normal code);
- inside a **default-sized 4 MiB `worker_threads` Worker** through `dist/`: the reporter's
  `deep.c` and a 60k-deep expression in every language come back `deferred` with exit 0,
  and a normal file still extracts natively;
- end-to-end through the built CLI: `codegraph init` on a repo holding `deep.c` + `ok.c`
  exits 0 and records both files, with both functions.

**Existing kernel suites**: all 15 (`kernel-*-parity`, `kernel-scaffold`,
`kernel-retry-materialize`, `kernel-grammar-parity`) pass unchanged, 147 tests — the guard
never fires on the parity fixtures.

**Reporter's probes** (`one.js` from the issue, default 4 MiB worker, this build):
`deep.c` → `deferred`, exitCode=0 (was rc=132/139); `deep100k.c` → `deferred`, exitCode=0.
Main thread: `deep.c` / `deep100k.c` → wasm partial with
`Parse error: Maximum call stack size exceeded`; a 6,000-term binary expression and a
3,000-branch `else if` chain stay on the kernel path with clean results.

**Perf** (same `dist/`, only the `.node` swapped via `CODEGRAPH_KERNEL_PATH`; interleaved
main/new ×3, `codegraph init`, macOS arm64):

| repo | main (median) | guarded (median) | nodes / edges |
|---|---|---|---|
| express (141 files) | 0.60 s (0.58–0.65) | 0.61 s (0.58–0.61) | 1,084 / identical |
| redis (786 C/H files) | 4.44 s (4.39–4.66) | 4.49 s (4.41–4.70) | 19,942 / 76,446 identical |

Within run-to-run noise, as expected for one TLS load + compare per recursion entry.

Colby MchenryandGitHub 7963672689 fix(rust): resolve self.field.method() on the field's declared type instead of a same-named method (#1585) (#1599)
Fixes #1585. **Stacked on #1596** (the base branch is `fix/1588-rust-impl-type-qualification`; this PR's own diff is the second commit). Merge #1596 first, then retarget/merge this one.

## What was wrong

```rust
impl Outer {
    pub fn run(&mut self) {
        self.inner.run();      // inner: Inner
    }
}
```

produced `Outer::run -> Outer::run` — recursion the source doesn't contain. The extractor collapsed every `self.<field>.<method>()` receiver to the bare method name (`run`), so the resolver only ever saw `run` and exact-matched the nearest same-named method — the calling method itself, or a method of an unrelated type. Nothing marked the edge as a guess, and no row stayed in `unresolved_refs`, so a consumer had no way to tell.

The same happened when the field's type isn't a project type at all (`its: std::vec::IntoIter<_>` → `self.its.next()`, `matcher: Regex` → `self.matcher.is_match()`): the bare `next` / `is_match` attached to whatever local method shared the name. ripgrep had 279 self-edges on `main`; the issue lists three sites, all of this shape.

(The issue's C++ control — "`Outer::run -> Inner::run` resolves correctly" — doesn't actually hold on `main`: `inner.h` is classified as C by the `.h` heuristic, so `Inner::run` never exists and the C++ repro self-edges too. That's #1592, fixed separately.)

## What this does

Rust struct fields are not graph nodes, so the field's type can only come from the struct's declaration text. This follows the Go 2-hop precedent exactly (`matchGoFieldChainCall`, #1276), including its exclusivity rule:

1. **Extraction (TS walker + native kernel, identical, parity-tested):** a call whose receiver is `self.<field>` keeps the owner-field shape — `self.inner.run()` is emitted as `self.inner.run`. Deeper chains (`self.a.b.m()`), call receivers (`self.f().m()`), parenthesized receivers and bare `self` keep the bare name, exactly as before.
2. **Resolution (`matchRustSelfFieldCall`):** owner type = the calling method's qualified-name prefix (`Outer::run` → `Outer`); the field's declared type is read from the owner struct's **own declaration lines** (comment-stripped, line by line — same discipline as the Go helper); the method is resolved **and validated** on that type by `resolveMethodOnType` (confidence 0.85, `instance-method`).
3. **Exclusive:** when the field is declared with an external type, a generic parameter (`T`), a container that doesn't auto-deref (`Option`/`Vec`/`Mutex`/…), or can't be found, the ref **stays unresolved** — it never falls through to the bare-name strategies. That is the safe behaviour the issue asks for, and it is what #1276 already chose for Go.

`rustFieldTypeName` looks through exactly the layers Rust's method-call auto-deref looks through: references (`&`, `&'a mut`) and the owning smart pointers `Box`/`Rc`/`Arc`. `Box<dyn Source>` yields the trait, whose method node the interface-impl synthesizer then fans out to every implementation. `Option<Inner>` is left alone — `self.inner.take()` is Option's method and must not become `Inner::take`.

Why it stacks on #1596: the owner is taken from the method's qualified name, which for a generic/lifetime impl was the trait's name before that fix.

## Measured on ripgrep (110 `.rs` files, #1596 build vs this branch)

| | #1596 | this PR |
|---|---|---|
| nodes | 4029 | 4029 |
| `calls` self-edges | 279 | **146** (none of the `self.<field>` shape remain — 116 bare-receiver, 30 other dotted) |
| `self.<field>.m()` calls resolved through a validated field type | — | **292** (`DecompressionMatcher::command -> GlobSet::matches`, `Parser::find_long -> FlagMap::find`, `Haystack::path -> DirEntry::path`, …) |
| `self.<field>.m()` calls left unresolved | — | **417** — every sampled one is a std/container method: `self.commands.push`, `self.child.wait`, `self.pre.is_some`, `self.colors.clone`, `self.path_terminator.unwrap_or` |
| `calls` edges total | 9150 | 8878 (the 272 removed are the former bare-name guesses for those 417) |

The issue's three sites: `walk.rs:824` now resolves to `IgnoreBuilder::add_custom_ignore_filename` (was a self-edge); `walk.rs:1195` (`self.its.next`, `IntoIter`) and `globset/lib.rs:983` (`self.matcher.is_match`, `Regex`) are parked as unresolved instead of guessed.

The issue's repro gives `Outer::run -> Inner::run` (`instance-method`, confidence 0.85) on both the kernel path and `CODEGRAPH_KERNEL=0`.

## Tests

- `__tests__/extraction.test.ts`: only the single-hop `self.<field>.<method>()` call keeps the prefix; deeper / call / parenthesized / bare-`self` receivers and a local receiver are unchanged.
- `__tests__/resolution.test.ts` (end-to-end, Cargo layout): the issue's repro → `Outer::run -> Inner::run`, no self-edge; an external field type (`std::vec::IntoIter`) with a local `next` decoy → no edge at all; `Box<Inner>` and `&'a mut Inner` resolve, `Option<Inner>` does not (even though `Inner` declares the method); a generic `T` field → no edge; genuine `self.run()` recursion keeps its self-edge; the #1588 repro's `UsesFile::go` / `UsesBuf::go` resolve to `FileSource::read` / `BufSource::read`, and a `Box<dyn Source>` field lands on `Source::read` with the synthesizer fanning out to both impls.
- `__tests__/fixtures/kernel-parity/torture.rs` grows the receiver shapes; all 15 kernel parity suites pass against the rebuilt kernel (147 tests).
- Full `npm test` on this branch: 189 files, 3187 passed, 9 skipped, 0 failed.

Colby MchenryandGitHub 12f7a59f26 fix(rust): qualify generic/lifetime impl methods by the implementing type, not the trait (#1588) (#1596)
Fixes #1588.

## What was wrong

The receiver of an `impl` block — the name that qualifies its methods, owns the `contains` edge, and sources the `implements` edge — was found positionally: the **last bare `type_identifier` child** of the `impl_item`. That works for `impl Source for FileSource`. But once the implementing type carries parameters it parses as a `generic_type`, and the only bare identifier left is the **trait's**:

```rust
impl Source for FileSource         →  FileSource::read   ✓
impl<T> Source for BufSource<T>    →  Source::read       ✗  (should be BufSource::read)
impl<'a> Iterator for Parents<'a>  →  Iterator::next     ✗
impl Trait for &Foo                →  Trait::method      ✗
```

Two consequences, both reproduced on `main`:

- `BufSource::read` did not exist in the graph, so `resolveMethodOnType("BufSource", "read")` and "who calls `BufSource::read`" had no answer, and every generic implementation of a trait collapsed onto the same trait-qualified name.
- Because the impl's method carried the trait's qualified name, the interface-impl synthesizer treated the impl **body** as a second trait declaration and emitted a dispatch edge from it (`Source::read -> FileSource::read`, registered at the generic impl's line — a body of `{ 0 }` containing no call at all).

The native kernel (`rustlang.rs`) mirrored the positional rule deliberately, bug-for-bug, to hold byte-parity with the TS walker — its header said "preserve, never fix via the grammar's trait:/type: fields". So the fix has to land on both sides at once.

## What this does

Both extractors now read the grammar's **named fields** instead of scanning children. One shared rule (`rustImplTypeName` in `languages/rust.ts`, `impl_type_name` in the kernel), applied to `impl_item.type`:

| implementing type | node | receiver |
|---|---|---|
| `Foo` | `type_identifier` | `Foo` |
| `Foo<T>` / `Foo<'a>` | `generic_type` → its `type` field | `Foo` |
| `m::Foo` | `scoped_type_identifier` → its `name` field | `Foo` (was: no receiver) |
| `&Foo` / `&'a mut Foo` | `reference_type` → its `type` field | `Foo` |
| `(A, B)`, `dyn Tr`, `*const T`, `u32`, fn types | anything else | none — extracted as plain functions, exactly as before |

The `implements` back-reference reads `impl_item.trait` (full text, so `fmt::Display` and `From<u32>` keep their spelling) and bails when the field is absent (inherent impl). Everything else — the no-scope impl quirk, the source-order `contains` owner scan, method extraction — is untouched; the `contains` edge simply lands on the implementing type now instead of the trait.

The kernel header comment, the parity test's description, and the two design docs that documented the quirk as "preserve" are updated to say what changed.

## Measured on ripgrep (110 `.rs` files, `main` build vs this branch)

| | main | this PR |
|---|---|---|
| nodes / methods | 4029 / 2202 | 4029 / 2202 |
| impl methods qualified by a **trait** name (node outside that trait's extent) | 61 | **0** |
| `Iterator::*` methods | 2 | 0 |
| duplicate method qualified names | 77 | 42 |
| synthesized `interface-impl` edges originating **outside** any trait declaration (the phantom fan-outs) | 38 | **0** |
| synthesized `interface-impl` edges originating at a real trait declaration | 33 | **52** |
| plain (non-heuristic) `calls` edges | 9098 | 9098 |

So the synthesizer lost every phantom edge and *gained* 19 legitimate fan-outs to implementations it could not previously see as implementations. `contains` edges went 5237 → 5224: the 13 removed were trait→impl-method edges produced by the mis-qualification.

The issue's repro now gives `BufSource::read` at line 12, `BufSource -> Source`, and both synthesized edges registered at the declaration (line 2) — identical on the kernel path and with `CODEGRAPH_KERNEL=0`. (The remaining `UsesFile::go -> BufSource::read` exact-match guess there is the separate `self.field.method()` receiver problem, #1585, which stacks on this.)

## Tests

- `__tests__/extraction.test.ts` (Rust Extraction): method qualified names for generic / lifetime / reference / scoped / generic-trait impls; the trait's qualified name names exactly one node; `implements` refs come from the implementing type for every shape; the `contains` edge lands on the type; tuple / `dyn` impls keep producing plain functions with no `implements` ref.
- `__tests__/resolution.test.ts` (end-to-end): `Source::read` names only the declaration; dispatch fans out to **both** `FileSource::read` and `BufSource::read`, every synthesized edge registered at line 2; neither impl body sprouts a synthesized call.
- `__tests__/fixtures/kernel-parity/torture.rs` grows all the new impl shapes; `kernel-rustlang-parity` (LF + CRLF) passes against the rebuilt kernel.
- `CODEGRAPH_KERNEL_EXPECT=1 npx vitest run __tests__/kernel-*.test.ts` — all 15 suites, 147 tests pass.
- Full `npm test`: 3180 passed, 9 skipped, 1 failed — `mcp-daemon.test.ts > daemon idle-times-out after the last client disconnects`, a 30 s timing test that passed on re-run in isolation (the machine was running four parallel suites and kernel builds at the time); unrelated to extraction.

Re-index after upgrading to pick up the corrected names.

Colby McHenry 89c53ddf24 fix(explore): guarantee an agent-named symbol renders, wherever it sits (CG-38)
`codegraph_explore` never returned `queueMessage` (L1087) or
`flushQueuedMessages` (L1102) from a 1,414-line file, on a symbol bag or a
prose question, even with that file at rank #1 holding 67% of the envelope —
the agent got a same-stem `QueuedMessage` interface at L70 and had to Read the
file for the functions it had named. Pre-existing at every build including
pre-epic (controlled bisect, index held fixed).

Two independent causes:

1. `buildFlowFromNamedSymbols` returns the Flow prose AND the set of node ids
   the agent named — and the latter is the whole guarantee, since it injects a
   named def into its file's cluster ranges at importance 9. Its bail-outs
   returned EMPTY, zeroing the identity whenever there was nothing to PRINT.
   Two sibling closures that never call each other produce no chain, no synth
   hop and no boundary, so both defs lost importance 9 and the file rendered
   from its head. `identityOnly()` now separates the two, gated on
   shape-precise tokens so a prose word that exact-matches a callable cannot
   promote itself.

2. The ceiling trim filled in SOURCE order, so an over-ceiling render always
   dropped the END of a large file first. The shrink HAD kept both symbols
   (1022-1121); the trim cut back to 839. `windowToCeiling` now takes the
   spine call site plus every importance>=9 member as focus lines, tries the
   full ceiling first, and splits the held-back reserve evenly with
   carry-forward — greedy-in-source-order reproduced the bug one level down.

The shrink's loose size estimate is left alone deliberately, and the comment
now says why: making it exact was built and measured WORSE (it stops at the
last member that fits whole and the released bytes carry forward to
lower-ranked files, costing payroll-go's `s.store.Upsert`). `bound()` clamps to
the ceiling anyway, so the slack costs no bytes; it just must not pick the
survivors, which is what the trim now handles.

The measurement gap this closes: every existing probe is aggregate — envelope
share, per-file spend, source totals, file counts — and all are green on a
response that returns 25K from the right file and omits the named function.
`probe-named-symbol.mjs` checks the definition LINE against the response's
rendered lines, per symbol.

Suite envelope byte-identical to main on all six repos; probe-allocation 4/4,
no starvation flags; 180 files / 2,997 tests green. Fixture: 7/7 fail on main,
7/7 pass here, deterministic over 4 runs per arm.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 07338ff12e docs(benchmarks): record CG-38 as open, and correct the regression claim
The epic record said nothing was open. CG-38 is: agent-named symbols in the
tail of a large file never render, which the epic's probes cannot see because
none of them measures whether the named symbol appeared.

Also corrects a wrong claim made while investigating it. The epic was said to
have regressed its own motivating query; that comparison varied the index as
well as the engine. A controlled bisect holding the index fixed shows the
pre-epic engine rendering 12 lines and CG-36 rendering 463 — the epic strictly
improves the case, and the symbols render at neither.

not an explore bug at all — it was a degraded index (CG-33), and the reported
query answers correctly on a clean rebuild with no explore change.

Records the two traps that cost real time and are now guarded in tooling: the
nonexistent .codegraph/graph.db path that sqlite3 silently creates, and
ab-new-vs-baseline.sh swapping src/ mid-run so a commit captures baseline
sources.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 9efae0f8f2 fix(explore): damp ambient declaration files on flow queries (CG-28)
A file that declares nothing but types and that nothing in the index depends
on — a hand-written ambient `.d.ts` of global shims, vendored typings, module
augmentation — cannot answer a flow question: no bodies, no call edges, no
behaviour, nothing typed by it. But the identifiers it declares are exactly the
generic ones a prose question uses (`Body`, `Message`, `ImageMetadata`,
`ReadableStream`), so on term overlap it out-scored the implementation. Measured
on the new fixture: rank #1 and 51% of delivered source, with the flow's own
entry file pushed out of the response entirely.

Measured first, per the issue: the Wrangler `worker-configuration.d.ts` that
opened this is already handled by CG-25's banner detection, worth 15-46 points
of envelope share across four flow queries. CG-25 credited; only the un-bannered
case needed anything.

`rankPenalty` now multiplies score and graph mass by 0.5 for such files, taken
as the STRONGER of it and the generated penalty rather than multiplied — one
property two signals see must not be charged twice. Detection is structural, not
by extension, and four conditions deep. Two of them were forced by measurement:
requiring every symbol to be type-level takes the corpus flag rate from 1-18%
(which swept in Kotlin sealed classes, Rust mod.rs re-exports and django's
locale tables) down to 0-4%; requiring that nothing depends on the file
separates an ambient shim from a working types module, and without it the rule
demoted displacement-ts's pipeline `types.ts` and broke the CG-31 gate.

A query that NAMES a declared type is exempt, so a question about a type still
reaches its declaration at full weight. Precise tokens only, so "…the file
body…" cannot exempt a `Body` interface it never meant to name; this needs its
own set because `namedSeedIds` is callable-only and a type never becomes one.

Regression evidence in docs/benchmarks/explore-declaration-only-cg28.md:
6-repo envelope sweep byte-identical against a clean baseline build, zero
ambient files reach the candidate set on VS Code across five queries, corpus
flag rate 0-0.74%, both allocation fixtures PASS, full suite 2,978 green.

Colby McHenry 91cb5b4317 measure(explore): the factory-closure envelope premise does not hold (CG-27)
CG-27 asked whether the >50%-of-file envelope drop should cover `function` /
`method`, so a `createFoo()` factory returning an object of closures stops
merging every closure inside it into one cluster. Measured on a hermetic
fixture, it should not, and the issue is closed as obsolete with CG-30 credited.

Two mechanisms already absorb the shape. shrinkCluster orders members by
(importance desc, size ASC) and refuses any member that overruns the cap once
something is kept, so a file-spanning member is only selected when it is the
sole member of the top importance tier — eight of nine query shapes never
selected it at all. When it IS selected, CG-30 windows it on whole lines, so
the file still delivers bounded, readable source (6 of 9 closure definitions
in that configuration).

Dropping the range instead SPLITS the file, and only the first-chosen cluster
may be shrunk: a trivial 7-line cluster won the density tiebreak and the
answer-bearing cluster was dropped whole — rank-#1 file 7,539 chars and 7 of 11
closures to 397 and none. Reaching the same intent more carefully (defer the
envelope MEMBER inside shrinkCluster, leaving clustering untouched) is noise:
69 vs 68 closure definitions across nine query shapes. Nothing shipped.

Adds the fixture, the probe, a standing gate on the outcome, and the record —
including a real defect the measurement exposed on the epic tip: django's
query.py leaves 8,212 of 10,135 unspent and drops a score-290 cluster to keep a
score-14 one. Filed separately.

No behaviour change, so no CHANGELOG entry.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 03893b0ab9 CG-33: converge incremental sync with a full rebuild
A live, auto-synced index did not converge to a clean rebuild of the same
tree — 4.3% of distinct edges wrong in both directions on this repo's own
index, overwhelmingly `calls`, which is what flow queries traverse and what
explore's file ranking weights. Silent: nothing warned, and the symptom read
as "codegraph isn't very good" rather than "this index needs rebuilding."

Two causes, and the fix needed both. Resolution binds a reference to one of
the same-named definitions PROJECT-WIDE, so a definition appearing or
vanishing changes the correct answer for references in files the sync never
touches — and those references resolved successfully once, which deletes
their unresolved_refs row, leaving nothing to revisit them with (#1240's
retry only revisits refs parked as failed). Separately, when nothing
disambiguated the candidates the winner came down to rowid, i.e. the order
files happened to be WRITTEN, which differs between a scan-order full index
and a sync that appends each file as it changes. That second one is why
re-resolution alone could not converge: re-resolving against the identical
graph still picked a different candidate.

So getNodesByName now orders by (file_path, start_line) — a property of the
code, not of the write order — and sync computes a definitionDelta and
re-opens the resolution edges whose answer it may have invalidated,
re-inserting each as the reference that created it for the orphan sweep to
bind against the post-sync graph.

The delta compares `file\0name` pairs per file rather than one name set over
the batch: a commit that adds `collect` to a new file while an unrelated
changed file already defines `collect` cancels out of a batch-wide set, and
that miss was the largest residual class in the first measurement.

Conservative where the failure modes are asymmetric — a wrong deletion is a
permanent edge loss, a missed rebind is only residual drift. Edges without a
refName stamp are never touched (nothing to restore them from), sources the
sync already re-extracted are skipped, and a per-name ceiling declines the
generic names. Edges are deleted before the sweep re-inserts, since
INSERT OR IGNORE against idx_edges_identity would otherwise keep both rows
when a reference rebinds elsewhere.

Replaying real commits of this repo through sync, then diffing against a
rebuild: 16 commits 48 -> 0; 80 commits 1,634 -> 361, with the actively
misleading direction (stale edges the index keeps asserting) 671 -> 2.
Index and sync wall-clock are unchanged; the ORDER BY costs 18% per uncached
name lookup, which never reaches wall-clock because the resolver memoizes it.

The 357-edge residual at 80 commits is one pre-existing class: refs to
generic names (`push`, `join`) parked above #1240's per-name retry ceiling,
which a rebuild resolves into cross-language garbage — a TS test file
"calling" an R method. Converging there would mean manufacturing wrong edges,
so it is left alone. And no drift metric in `codegraph status`: it cannot be
computed without the rebuild it would be recommending, and a proxy would fire
on that residual and train users to ignore it.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 5f32478b57 docs(benchmarks): record the CG-26 A/B — the invariant holds on every path
Deterministic 6-repo table, the three agent A/Bs (django, excalidraw, okhttp,
2 runs/arm, Read 0 in all 12 runs), and an honest read of the two repos that
deliver a few hundred fewer source chars: at the CG-31 tip both were over-filled
by the flat-200 section overhead and paid for it by discarding their epilogue
whole.

Also: CHANGELOG entries for the two user-visible changes, and the memory note
now carries the fourth accounting gap plus the two lessons — hold the REMAINDER
when a full reservation no longer fits, and never skip a file over an accounting
difference.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 be7c968439 docs(benchmarks): record the CG-31 A/B — no regression, four repos stop truncating
Deterministic (6 repos, clean rebuilds, both builds): four deliver more source
and one more file each, two are byte-identical, none deliver less. Agent A/B
(django n=3, okhttp n=2, gin n=2, sonnet/effort high, both arms codegraph-on,
0 contamination): the new arm is faster on all three, Read at or below
baseline, occupancy lower.

Also records the two corrections the suite forced on the first cut of the
guard, and the two residuals CG-26 inherits — the render loop's 600-char
epilogue margin (a sweep was run and deliberately NOT shipped) and the BUY
arm's source-space-only guard.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 0d014a6582 docs(benchmarks): record the CG-30 A/B — deterministic win, no behavioural regression
Primary evidence is deterministic: on django, query.py rendered 2.12x its budget
on main and 1.49x with the bound, and the freed bytes reach the files below it
(+2,104 chars of source in the same five files). gin is a true control — the two
builds emit byte-identical explore output there, which is what makes its agent-run
deltas variance by construction.

Also records the harness trap that voided the first two batches: ab-new-vs-baseline
swaps src/ to the baseline ref mid-run, so a commit made while it runs captures
baseline sources. Check the "changed:" line before believing any run.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 2cf63fd114 CG-33: record index-drift measurement and add a drift diff tool
A live, auto-sync-maintained index does not converge to a clean full
rebuild of the identical tree. On codegraph's own repo, 4.3% of distinct
edges are wrong in both directions (751 missing, 476 stale), dominated by
`calls` — the edges flow queries traverse and that feed the RWR mass
explore ranks files by.

Raw edge rows differ by only +0.7%, because the divergence is
bidirectional and nets out; any drift check must compare edge SETS.
Rebuild-vs-rebuild is 0, so the indexer is deterministic and this is not
noise. Node sets are identical and every integrity check is 0 on both
indexes, so this is stale cross-file resolution, not accumulated residue.

`diff-index-drift.mjs` is read-only and takes two index paths — rebuilding
is the caller's job, so the tool can never clobber the artifact it is
measuring. It also refuses a missing path, since node:sqlite creates an
empty database rather than failing and an empty schema reads exactly like
a stale pre-migration index.

Diagnostic captures from the originating incident are deliberately NOT
committed: they contain verbatim source from a private repo.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 d6d17288be docs(benchmarks): re-derive the token figures the result.usage bug touched
Swept every benchmark doc for figures produced off `result.usage` and fixed
the ones that had raw logs to re-derive from.

residual-context-occupancy.md — the sonnet 3-turn throughput table. Re-derived
from the preserved logs: tokens saved 23% -> 56%, and vscode's "98% MORE tokens
with codegraph" was never real, it is 41% fewer. Cost, time and tool calls were
never affected by this field and are unchanged. The occupancy table itself is
measured off the timeline, so every number in it stands -- including the 82%
higher residual, which is the finding the document exists for.

call-sequence-analysis.md — this doc DIAGNOSED the bug and its reproduce block
claimed the aggregator summed per-turn tokens. It did not, until 04c0f8e. Noted,
with the three wrong results the gap produced: the excalidraw cut recorded here,
the sonnet campaign, and the Opus re-measure that invented a token regression.

answer-directly-vs-explore-agent.md — build 0.9.4, 2026-05-24, raw logs gone.
Cannot be re-derived, so flagged rather than silently left or invented: its
token figure is indicative, its turn/read/context findings do not depend on the
broken field and stand.

The remaining benchmark docs (allocation-ab-1500, dedup-cg20, allocation-
efficiency, feedback-metrics) carry no throughput tables — checked, clean.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 48cbc21a17 merge: cross-call explore session dedup (CG-2, #1500)
Never re-serve source this session already sent: session-scoped state (CG-17)
plus a precise back-reference in place of the bytes (CG-18). Duplicated source
drops 6.4% -> 0.74% of the response, at flat cost per call, with more unique
source in its place.

Bar 4 of CG-20 -- "residual occupancy must drop" -- is NOT met, and the gate
records why: CG-18's accepted rule spends reclaimed bytes on files not yet
shown rather than banking them, so a design that re-spends every byte cannot
lower the byte count. The two requirements were mutually unsatisfiable as
written. Bars 1-3 (no extra Reads, no abandonment, no bucket shift) pass across
24 runs on both arms.

Kept on that basis, and cheap to reverse: CODEGRAPH_EXPLORE_DEDUP=0 disables it
at runtime. Full gate: docs/benchmarks/explore-dedup-ab-cg20.md

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 2cfd321b23 docs: CG-20 — the dedup gate, three bars pass and the fourth cannot (CG-2)
Read is 0 in all 24 runs of both arms across client-go and excalidraw, no
isError, codegraph is the last tool in every run, and both "Read a file we
returned" / "did not return" buckets are empty — with back-references
demonstrably reaching the agent in 8 of the 9 multi-call runs.

Residual occupancy is flat, and the measurement shows it could not have been
anything else: CG-18 was accepted on the rule that reclaimed bytes get spent on
unseen files rather than banked, so the byte count cannot fall. What moves is
the duplicate fraction of that residual — 87% less across the agent runs, 86%
and 94% on two matched deterministic replays.

Also recorded: dedup.savedChars is a pre-clip figure (11,450 reported against
1,042 chars actually re-served), so tuning off it inflates the win ~7x.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 5dd4db68cd docs: the occupancy baseline says our residual is higher — write that down (CG-13)
Fills the empty RESULTS placeholder with the 2026-08-05 campaign
(bgjob-6d357cd2: 7 repos x 2 arms x 4 runs x 3 turns, 137 min).

The finding is not the flattering one. Retrieval residual is 82% HIGHER
with codegraph and share-of-context 27% higher, on all seven repos —
vscode 67k resident against 18k. At the same time six of seven
without-arms *process* more total tokens (gin 660k vs 290k) while
leaving less behind. Both are true: one dense verbatim payload stays
resident where many small Read/Grep results evict. This corroborates
issue #1500 on our own harness; the aggregator used to print it as
"-82% lower with codegraph" until the sign bug at 520ed9d.

Also:

- States the regime everywhere. This ran claude-sonnet-5 / 3-turn; the
  README's table is Opus 4.8 / single-question. Measured 24/23/20/84
  against the published 60/69/20/89 — model and turn count, not
  contamination. Records the two inversions honestly (vscode processes
  98% more tokens, django costs 17% more) and that 4 of 28 with-arm
  sessions still touched Read.
- Corrects the "Settled" section, which claimed a 7-repo baseline
  existed before one did, and adds the unclaimed Opus rerun.
- Records the contamination gate: 0 CLI calls returned output in 56
  sessions, but 29 attempts were blocked — 26 of 28 without-arm
  sessions tried. no-cli-shim.sh is load-bearing, not precautionary.
- Records the secondary readings as absolute, not before/after: 86.7%
  allocation efficiency pooled over 110 calls, read-of-a-file-we-
  returned 2%, explore-again 73% and ambiguous by construction.

README.md is deliberately untouched — restating its numbers from sonnet
3-turn data would be wrong. A proposed README paragraph is drafted at
the end of the benchmark doc for the maintainer to accept or reject.

Colby McHenry 382791f11e docs: one entry point for the three feedback metrics, and how to run them (CG-11)
Three per-metric docs told a maintainer what each number means; none said
which one answers which question, which harness produces it, or how to read
the arm table. agent-eval-feedback-metrics.md is that page — the metric →
question map, when to reach for ab-new-vs-baseline.sh (isolates a change,
both arms codegraph-on) versus run-all.sh (with vs without, a different
question) versus bench-readme.sh, the worked CG-22 express table where all
three read together, and the bucket → fix mapping. Not a fourth restatement:
the derivations stay where they are and each doc now points here.

The caveats that change how the summary table is read are carried over rather
than dropped — allocation efficiency is relative (attribution is by citation,
so same-question builds only, and never "codegraph wastes N%"), occupancy
shares are Claude Code / 200k and do not transfer between hosts while the arm
ratio does, sufficient is not correct, small-n throughout. Plus the
contamination row, which means different things in the two harnesses and is
the first thing to look at in both.

Also records that the CG-8 7-repo bucket block no longer re-derives:
bench-readme.sh overwrites /tmp/ab-readme, so the swept logs are gone. The
current logs give a different distribution over the same 62 calls, and the
CG-8-era and current classifiers agree exactly on them — so nothing moved
under the metric, the corpus did. CG-13 re-establishes the baseline.

Colby McHenry fa15d1046a docs: allocation efficiency — the metric, its guards, and the 103-run baseline (CG-9)
Records the sweep over every A/B log on this machine (103 sessions, 297

table the metric exists for: express 82% → 100%, cg21/client-go 67% →
95%, two pairs going the other way.

States the caveat in the places it can be misread: the corpus median sits
in the eighties because these are flow questions whose answers name most
of the chain, the metric is byte-weighted, and an agent can use a file
without citing it. It compares two builds on one question; it is not an
absolute waste figure.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 254e573f11 docs: the 7-repo bucket baseline, and the recall case by hand (CG-8)
The 14 multi-turn with-arm sessions of the README corpus exercise every bucket
(62 calls), so the sweep is no longer one repo family: 47% explored again, 11%
Read a file we returned, 2% Read a file we did not, 23% Grep/Glob, 18% moved on.
Flagged as a baseline rather than a verdict -- three-turn sessions on hard flow
questions, and "explored again" includes the legitimate second call on a repo
whose budget is 2-3.

The recall bucket's one real instance is worth reading: explore returned
InteractiveCanvas.tsx and named StaticCanvas.tsx without shipping it, and the
agent went and read exactly that.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 52b194a6be merge main into CG-3: keep the envelope view alongside occupancy
CG-3 branched from main before CG-1 landed and rewrote parse-run.mjs wholesale
into an exported parseSession(), which dropped CG-1's --envelope/--answer
reporting entirely. That view is the instrument the CG-1/CG-22 allocation gate
measures bar 2 with, and it is in that benchmark's documented reproduce steps,
so it cannot be lost to the merge.

Resolution takes CG-3's rewrite as the structure and ports the envelope feature
into it: parseSession now collects codegraph_explore response text in call
order, formatEnvelope renders the per-file share, and the CLI parses
--envelope/--answer ahead of the positional filter so a glob is never mistaken
for a log path.

The glob sentinel stays written as a \u0000 escape, never a literal NUL byte --
a raw one makes git treat the whole script as binary, exactly as the comment
there warns.

Verified: --selftest 18/18, and a synthetic explore transcript reports the
expected per-file shares and answer-set total.

Colby McHenry e35d4861e0 test(agent-eval): block the codegraph CLI outright — hiding it from PATH was not enough (CG-7)
An agent denied `codegraph` on PATH ran `find / -maxdepth 4 -iname "*codegraph*"`,
found the binary, and invoked it by ABSOLUTE PATH — 12 times in one without-arm
run. So block the invocation itself with a PreToolUse hook on Bash, written into
the run's output dir as an artifact alongside the MCP configs rather than as a
repo file.

The pattern matches command positions only, so looking is still allowed and only
using is denied: `grep codegraph src/`, `ls .codegraph` and `which codegraph`
pass through, while `codegraph explore`, `/abs/path/codegraph …`, `cd x &&
codegraph …` and `VAR=1 codegraph …` are refused. run-all.sh proves both
directions at startup and refuses to run if either fails. parse-run.mjs's
detector uses the same rule, so prevention and detection cannot drift — and it no
longer false-positives on the corpus path, which contains the word codegraph.

Verified end-to-end: the without-arm now probes with `ls .codegraph; which
codegraph`, finds nothing usable, and falls back to Read/Bash.

Colby McHenry b93c8d2b6c test(agent-eval): self-test the occupancy math, and fix ratio calibration under shedding (CG-7)
parse-run.mjs --selftest runs the math over synthetic transcripts with known
answers: attribution, message.id dedupe, compact_boundary, FIFO micro-compaction,
and multi-turn stitching. It found a real bug. A gap where the window also SHED
content has a delta far below what was added, which reads as absurdly dense text
and dragged the whole run's ratio with it -- a shed gap in the fixture pushed
2.5 chars/tok to 4.4 and left the wrong result resident. Shedding can only push a
gap's ratio up, so the calibration now takes the lower median as its centre,
drops gaps well above it, and pools the rest. Runs that never shed are unaffected
(gin and vscode re-measure identically).

Also drafts docs/benchmarks/residual-context-occupancy.md -- method, error bar,
and the limitations this metric does not settle. Baseline numbers to follow.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 c65d56ceba docs: CG-22 — the epic's gate, re-run at CG-15's exact setup (#1500)
CG-21 fixed the unspent-reservation defect and re-ran the A/B itself. CG-22 is
the gate proper: CG-15's setup, unchanged, measured independently of the task
that wrote the fix. RUNS=3, both arms codegraph-on, sonnet/high,
CODEGRAPH_NO_PROMPT_HOOK=1 on both, baseline pinned to 49c11fc by SHA, fresh
clones of the same three repos and the same three questions.

All four bars pass. Read = 0 in all 12 new-arm runs (express 3, excalidraw 3,
client-go 6) while the baseline reads in 3 of 3 express runs and 1 of 6
client-go runs; the express run that failed CG-15 with 4 Reads of lib/utils.js
now reads nothing and receives the file whole. Answer share >= 66.6% in every
new run. Medians: express 26s -> 24s, excalidraw 26s -> 26s, client-go
35s -> 36.5s at n=6 with fully overlapping ranges.

Deterministic core re-measured on BOTH builds in one session rather than
quoted: lib/utils.js renders whole at 6,380 B on baseline and on HEAD (583 B
stub under CG-12), and the source envelope goes 13,849 -> 14,913 against an
unchanged 13,000 budget, so the reservation is spent and the envelope stops
shrinking. client-go's +1.5s median is attributed away from the build: explore
latency 669 vs 668 ms (n=5) and the new build's deterministic response is both
smaller (15.8K vs 18.9K) and more concentrated (top file 50.2% vs 35.7%).

Two counter-points recorded as measured, not smoothed: excalidraw's new arm
runs below its baseline on answer share (66.6-81.9 vs 75.5-92.7, all well over
the bar), and this session's client-go baseline sampled well (85.6-100%), so
the #1500 gap is smaller here than in CG-21's session.

CHANGELOG: the two #1500 bullets were multi-sentence paragraphs carrying
implementation detail. Rewritten to house style as four bullets that lead with
the symptom, with the mechanism, the banner catalogue and the old-behaviour
contrast dropped; the @LeDuyViet credit and the re-index note stay.

Suite green on the measured build: 171 files, 2,868 passed, 6 skipped.

Colby McHenry abee46c5e4 docs: CG-21 A/B — the gate passes, all four bars (#1500)
Re-runs CG-15's agent A/B on the fixed build: same harness, same three
prompts, same baseline ref, n=6 per arm on express and excalidraw.

Read = 0 in all 15 new-arm runs. The express regression that routed the
defect to CG-21 does not reproduce in 6 attempts, and the baseline now
reads in 4 of 6 while the new arm reads in none (median 24.5s -> 21.5s),
so the control beats the arm it previously lost to. client-go holds
92.7-96.2% answer share against a baseline run at 53.8%.

Excalidraw's new arm is ~8s slower at the median and that is recorded as
NOT attributable to the build rather than waved through: explore's own
latency is 374ms vs 372ms on the same query and index, the deterministic
responses differ by +2% with one byte-identical, and the unchanged main
build's own median moved 34s -> 26.5s between the two sessions — the same
magnitude as the gap.

Bars were not re-baselined; they are CG-15's four, applied to a larger
sample. The CG-15 section is kept intact and marked superseded, because
its root-cause analysis is the record of why the fix looks like it does.

Colby McHenry 51cd053d85 docs: CG-21 — spending the reservation (design record + CHANGELOG precision)
Records both levers, the funding-pool design (and the per-file version that
dropped payslip_builder.go), the resolved memory-budget.ts exception, and the
two hermetic fixtures with their mutation matrix.

The CHANGELOG clause 'no longer trimmed while a smaller, weakly-related one is
included whole' was imprecise after CG-21: the smaller file often IS still
included whole now, when its share nearly covers it. Reworded to say what the
fix actually guarantees.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 c7103c7f2f docs: CG-15 agent A/B of the #1500 allocation change — gate fails on the control
Three repos, both arms codegraph-on, sonnet/high, 3 runs per arm.

PASS on the two medium repos: client-go (the reporter's Go shape, 2,001 of
2,454 files generated) and excalidraw hold Read 0 in every run of both arms,
excalidraw goes 34s -> 24s at the median with one fewer explore call, and the
generated clientsets/informers that took 10.5%% of a baseline envelope appear
in no new run.

FAIL on express, the small control, in 1 run of 3: 4 Reads and 52s against a
baseline that read once. Not agent variance — replaying that run's query
deterministically, lib/utils.js goes from 6,380 bytes whole to a 583-byte
cluster stub and the envelope shrinks 13.8K -> 9.2K against an unchanged
13,000 budget. The diagnostic shows the allocator was right and the render
loop was not: utils.js is the top-ranked file, was reserved 3,870 chars, and
spent 583. The whole-file bound (allowance + grace = 4,450) lands just under
the file's 5,293 bytes, so the whole-file render is declined and the unspent
reservation is dropped rather than redistributed.

Bar 1 is the hard gate, so per CG-15's acceptance rule the design goes back to
CG-12 — the budget is not to be widened to compensate. Two candidate fixes are
written up in the design doc.
