Expands symbol lookup with morphological variants (e.g., "caching"→"cache", "eviction"→"evict") to find related class definitions that FTS prefix matching would otherwise miss. Includes comprehensive stemming rules for common English suffixes (-ing, -tion, -ed, -er, etc.) and integrates stem expansion into definition prefix search for improved symbol discovery.
Addresses cases where multi-word queries like "search execution from request to shard" return generic single-term matches instead of highly relevant classes matching multiple terms. Applies co-occurrence boosting before truncation to prioritize nodes matching 2+ query terms, adds compound term matching to catch classes like "SearchShardsRequest" that contain multiple query terms at any position, and widens per-term accumulation pools to prevent relevant multi-term matches from being filtered out early.
Introduces LIKE-based substring matching to find symbols like "Search" within "TransportSearchAction" that FTS cannot match due to tokenization boundaries. Adds dedicated type hierarchy traversal to ensure parent/child classes and interfaces are included in context results, preventing BFS budget exhaustion on method-level nodes before reaching inheritance relationships.
Introduces automated testing infrastructure to measure CodeGraph performance across searchNodes and findRelevantContext APIs. Includes recall/MRR scoring metrics, predefined test cases for symbol lookup and context exploration, and JSON report generation. Enhances context building with acronym extraction, definition prefix matching, and improved FTS filtering to exclude imports by default.
Updates example code to use the simplified two-parameter form of getImpactRadius instead of the options object pattern, making the documentation consistent with current API usage.
Adds nameMatchBonus scoring to prioritize results where node names exactly or partially match query terms. Implements dedicated field extraction for Java/C# to properly categorize class fields vs variables. Optimizes BM25 search with column weights favoring name matches and increased result fetching before post-processing. Refines stop words list to preserve common programming terms like "get", "find", "list".
Replaces the focused search quality improvement loop with a complete language verification system. The new guide provides a systematic battery of tests (explore, search, call chains, impact analysis, edge extraction, node completeness, and real-world LLM prompts) to verify CodeGraph fully supports a programming language before marking it as production-ready.
Swift methods in extension blocks are already parsed correctly by tree-sitter, which treats `extension Type { }` as `class_declaration` and automatically includes the owner type in qualified names. No getReceiverType implementation needed.
Extends AST parsing to identify and extract individual enum members/cases for better code analysis. Adds enumMemberTypes configuration to each language extractor with language-specific node types (e.g., 'enum_variant' for Rust, 'enum_case' for PHP, 'enum_entry' for Swift/Kotlin). Implements flexible member name resolution supporting both field-based and identifier-based extraction patterns.
Documents the systematic process for testing and improving search result relevance when LLMs query CodeGraph. Provides step-by-step loop for diagnosing issues with method search ranking, implementing getReceiverType hooks for languages where methods appear outside their owner type in the AST, and validating fixes with real codebases.
Improves search accuracy by boosting results when multiple query symbols appear in the same file, addressing cases where common names like "run" return too many results. Adds Go method receiver type extraction to qualified names for better searchability (e.g., "scrapeLoop.run"). Optimizes database queries with two-pass approach to handle distinctive vs common symbol names efficiently.
Replaces O(n) file scanning with O(log n) indexed database lookups by adding getAllNodeNames query and caching node lookups by name/qualified name. Pre-filters references against known symbol names to skip expensive resolution for non-existent symbols. Consolidates Go resolver helper functions into a unified resolveByNameAndKind function and moves built-in symbol sets to module-level constants for better performance.
Eliminates the intermediate 'finalizing' phase that was added as a progress bar transition state but served no functional purpose. Simplifies the progress flow by going directly from 'storing' to 'resolving' phases, removing associated UI labels and progress callbacks.
Adds strategic yield points and direct stdout writes to prevent progress animation from freezing when the main thread is blocked by synchronous operations. Introduces 'finalizing' phase to smooth transition between parsing and resolving steps, ensuring progress reaches 100% completion.
Restructures the benchmark table for better readability by separating queries into a details section and highlighting the overall 92% fewer tool calls and 71% faster performance. Makes the compelling efficiency gains more prominent while maintaining all detailed information in an expandable section.
Updates benchmark results with the largest tested codebase (25,874 files, 272,898 nodes) demonstrating CodeGraph's scalability. Increases the recommended call limit from 3 to 6 to accommodate more complex cross-cutting queries while maintaining efficiency gains over traditional file-reading approaches.
Recycles workers before each retry attempt instead of once per batch to maximize WASM memory headroom. Adds final fallback that strips comment-only lines from files that still crash on clean workers, reducing memory pressure from compiler test files with extensive CHECK directives while preserving line numbers for accurate node positions.
Implements file-size-based timeouts (base 10s + 10s per 100KB), more frequent worker recycling (250 files), and automatic retry logic for WASM memory corruption failures. Workers now crash immediately on memory errors to prevent cascading failures, with failed files automatically retried on fresh workers with clean heaps.
Adds --verbose flag to init and index commands that shows timestamped progress output instead of animated progress bars. Implements worker timeout protection (10s per file) and periodic worker recycling (every 500 files) to prevent WASM memory crashes from hanging the entire indexing process. Includes detailed logging of worker lifecycle events and memory usage for debugging large repository indexing issues.
Offloads tree-sitter parsing to a dedicated worker thread, keeping the main thread unblocked so shimmer progress animations render smoothly during indexing. Refactors shimmer progress renderer into separate worker for consistent 50ms animation updates. Falls back to in-process parsing when worker compilation unavailable (e.g., tests).
Replaces ASCII art banner and basic readline prompts with @clack/prompts for a modern interactive CLI. Adds animated shimmer progress bars with spinner glyphs during indexing operations. Improves installer UX with structured prompts, better error handling, and cleaner output formatting throughout all CLI commands.
Replaces fixed-width padding with terminal escape sequences for proper progress line clearing across different terminal widths. Adds periodic parser reset every 5000 parses per language to prevent WASM heap fragmentation that causes "memory access out of bounds" crashes in large repositories. Includes filename truncation to fit available terminal width.
Adds expression index on lower(name) for memory-efficient case-insensitive searches, replacing in-memory caches that caused OOM on large codebases. Includes batched reference resolution, enhanced error reporting with detailed breakdown by error type, and improved CLI progress display for scanning phases.
Two fixes discovered while benchmarking Swift (Alamofire):
1. codegraph_explore traversalDepth 2→3: Deep call chains (e.g., Alamofire's
9-step Session.request()→URLSession flow) couldn't be followed in a single
explore call, forcing agents to fall back to file reads.
2. findSymbol/findAllSymbols now support "Parent.child" notation (e.g.,
"Session.request") by matching against qualified names (::Parent::child).
Previously only checked node.name === symbol, which never matched qualified
queries since node names are unqualified.
Also adds Alamofire Swift benchmark data to README (91% fewer tool calls,
78% faster with CodeGraph).

Decreases maximum output from 50,000 to 35,000 characters to prevent exceeding ~10k token limits in MCP clients that could cause truncation or errors when processing exploration results.
Splits the monolithic tree-sitter.ts (3,358 lines) into modular files:
- 14 language config files under src/extraction/languages/
- 3 standalone extractors (Liquid, Svelte, DFM)
- Shared helpers and types modules to avoid circular imports
Also fixes a bug where Java's extractImport hook incorrectly set
handledRefs: true, preventing unresolved reference creation and
degrading codegraph_explore results for Java codebases.

Replaces limited 3-test benchmark with results from 4 real-world codebases (VS Code, Excalidraw, Claude Code) showing 94% fewer tool calls and 77% faster exploration. Updates performance claims and adds detailed breakdown of tool usage patterns with and without CodeGraph.
When a project directory is gitignored by a parent git repository, `git ls-files` returns no results even though files exist. Added detection for this scenario using `git rev-parse` and `git check-ignore` to fall back to filesystem walking when the project directory is ignored by an ancestor repo.
Changes guidance to recommend spawning Explore agents for exploration questions instead of using codegraph_explore/codegraph_context directly in main session to avoid filling up context with large amounts of source code. Adds completeness signal to codegraph_explore output so agents know not to re-read files that already have source code included.
Introduces a new MCP tool that performs deep code exploration in a single call, returning comprehensive context with full source code sections grouped by file and relationship mapping. Designed to replace multiple codegraph_node + file read operations for thorough understanding of code topics. Updates documentation to position explore as the primary tool for deep exploration questions.
Adds type annotation parsing to create references edges for parameter types, return types, and variable type annotations in TypeScript and other typed languages. Expands symbol extraction from queries to capture lowercase identifiers and filters out more common English words. Removes obsolete search utility tests.
Three issues discovered testing CodeGraph against a Shopify Liquid theme:
1. Callers/callees only traversed 'calls' edges, missing 'references' and
'imports' edges that Liquid extraction creates for {% render %} and
{% section %} tags. Expanded edge filter in getCallers/getCallees.
2. Context builder only ran text search as a fallback when semantic search
returned nothing. For template-heavy codebases, semantic search returns
irrelevant results (e.g., "Toast" for a header navigation query) while
text/path-based matching would find the right files. Now always runs
text search alongside semantic search with multi-term boosting.
3. MCP findAllSymbols only matched nodes by exact name, missing file nodes
whose basename (without extension) matched the symbol. This caused
callers to find zero results even with correct edges, since references
edges point to file nodes (e.g., "product-card.liquid") not component
nodes (e.g., "product-card").

Eliminate cross-language false positives in name resolution and deprioritize
test files in context building. Benchmarked on a Python+Rust codebase where
37% of edges were false positives from Python built-in methods resolving to
Rust functions (e.g., list.extend → Rust extend).
Resolution fixes (index-time):
- Filter Python built-in type method calls (list.extend, dict.update, etc.)
- Filter bare Python built-in method names (append, extend, pop, keys, etc.)
- Add language boundary checks to matchMethodCall strategies 1, 2, and 3
- Penalize cross-language matches: -80 points in findBestMatch (was 0)
- Reduce confidence for single cross-language exact matches (0.5 vs 0.9)
- Prefer same-language candidates in matchFuzzy
Context relevance fixes (query-time):
- Add isTestFile() utility detecting test files across Python/JS/TS/Go/Rust/Java
- Deprioritize test files in scorePathRelevance (-15 penalty)
- Reduce test file scores to 30% in context builder result merging
- Both skip deprioritization when query mentions "test" or "spec"

Testing showed semantic search produces significantly better results for
natural language queries that Claude writes. FTS alone often ranks
properties above their parent classes and misses conceptual matches.
Embeddings are now always on — the vector manager is created eagerly,
with model download and embedding generation still happening lazily.

Eliminates anonymous error reporting functionality that was collecting stack traces and error context via Sentry. Removes all telemetry-related code, configuration options, and documentation references.
Name matching was creating false `calls` edges between unrelated modules
in monorepos because `findBestMatch()` had no concept of directory
proximity — functions with common names (e.g. `navigate`) in different
apps scored identically and resolved to whichever came first.
Adds path proximity scoring (shared directory segments) so same-module
candidates strongly win over cross-boundary ones, and lowers confidence
for distant matches so import-based resolution takes precedence.

Sentry error reporting can now be disabled by:
1. Declining during the interactive installer (sets CODEGRAPH_TELEMETRY=off
in the MCP server config env)
2. Setting CODEGRAPH_TELEMETRY=off in your shell environment
README updated with a Telemetry section documenting what is collected
and how to opt out.
Closes#68
