Implements the design from `docs/design/mixed-ios-and-react-native-bridging.md`.
Closes the cross-language flow gap so `trace` / `callers` / `callees` / `impact` connect end-to-end across language boundaries in real iOS, React Native, and Expo codebases.

## Bug fixes surfaced along the way
- `tree-sitter.ts` message_expression — multi-keyword ObjC call sites now reconstruct `a🅱️` selectors so they resolve to multi-part method definitions (gap discovered post-#165; 0 → 84 call edges to `GET:parameters:...` style methods on AFNetworking).
- `src/index.ts` resolver lifecycle — `indexAll()` now re-initializes the resolver after extraction so framework `detect()` sees the populated index. Pre-existing latent bug that affected UIKit and SwiftUI resolvers too.
- `src/extraction/index.ts` `buildDetectionContext` — added `listDirectories` so framework detect() can probe monorepo subpackages uniformly (fix needed for react-native-skia detection).

Dynamic-Dispatch Coverage Playbook
Audience: a Claude agent continuing this work. Mission: systematically close static-extraction coverage holes for dynamic dispatch across every language and framework codegraph supports, and validate each one the same way, so cross-symbol flows exist in the graph everywhere.
This is the top-level playbook. The deep design for one mechanism (the callback synthesizer) is in
callback-edge-synthesis.md. Full investigation context + findings: auto-memoryproject_codegraph_read_displacement.
1. The goal (why this matters)
codegraph's value is being the map — answering structural/flow questions
(trace, impact, callers, "how does X reach Y") that grep/Read cannot. Agents
will use codegraph instead of Read only when it is sufficient. We proved
empirically (see memory) that the lever for sufficiency is coverage, not
prompting/hooks/new-tools: when a flow is missing from the graph, the agent reads
the files to reconstruct it; when the flow is in the graph, the agent can answer
completely without reading.
Validated end-to-end on excalidraw: after closing the update-flow hole, 2/3 headless agent runs answered the "how does an update reach the screen" question with Read 0 and a complete answer — impossible before, because the key edge wasn't in the graph. (Caveat: coverage enables the no-read path; agent confirm-by-reading variance means it doesn't force it. Completeness improves unconditionally.)
The mission is to make that true for all languages/frameworks.
2. The problem class: dynamic dispatch
Static tree-sitter extraction captures explicit calls (foo(), this.bar()). It
misses any call whose target is computed/indirect. Four recurring shapes, with a
difficulty gradient (do the cheap ones first):
| # | Shape | Example | Fix mechanism | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Named attribute / descriptor | django self._iterable_class(self) |
framework resolver (claimsReference + resolve()) |
cheap |
| 2 | Field-backed observer | onUpdate(cb) + for(cb of cbs)cb() |
callback synthesizer (whole-graph pass) | medium |
| 3 | String-keyed EventEmitter | on('e',fn) / emit('e') |
callback synthesizer (event-keyed) | medium |
| 4 | Inline callback handler | on('e', function h(){}) / () => {} |
extraction (named) + synthesizer link-through-body (anon) | named: cheap · anon: hard |
Key distinction driving the mechanism choice:
- A named ref exists to resolve (
_iterable_classis an attribute name) → resolver. - No ref exists (
cb()is anonymous; needs registrar↔dispatcher correlation) → synthesizer.
3. Worked examples (the two mechanisms, end to end)
3a. Django ORM descriptor — the resolver pattern (Python)
- Hole:
QuerySet._fetch_allcallsself._iterable_class(self)(a runtime-chosen iterable, defaultModelIterable), whose__iter__runs the SQL compiler. Static parsing can't resolve the attribute-as-callable →_fetch_all's only callee was_prefetch_related_objects;trace(_fetch_all, execute_sql)returned no path. - Fix:
djangoResolverclaims the unresolved_iterable_classref through the name-exists pre-filter, then resolves it toModelIterable.__iter__. - Files:
src/resolution/types.ts(claimsReference?onFrameworkResolver),src/resolution/index.ts(pre-filter inresolveOneconsultsclaimsReference),src/resolution/frameworks/python.ts(djangoResolver.resolve+claimsReference+resolveModelIterableIter). - Result:
trace(_fetch_all, execute_sql)→_fetch_all → __iter__ → execute_sql(3 hops).
3b. Excalidraw observer + EventEmitter — the synthesizer (TS)
- Hole:
Scene.triggerUpdatedoesfor (cb of this.callbacks) cb();triggerRenderis registered viascene.onUpdate(this.triggerRender). ThetriggerUpdate → triggerRenderedge is dynamic →tracereturned no path; the whole update flow broke. - Fix: a whole-graph pass that detects registrar/dispatcher channels, correlates
registration sites, and synthesizes
dispatcher → callbackedges. Plus extraction of named inline callbacks so handlers like express'sfunction onmount(){}are nodes. - Files:
src/resolution/callback-synthesizer.ts(the pass — field observers + EventEmitter),src/resolution/index.ts(callssynthesizeCallbackEdges()at the end ofresolveAndPersistBatched),src/extraction/tree-sitter.ts(visitFunctionBodyextracts named nested functions). - Result:
trace(mutateElement, triggerRender)→ 3 hops; expressuse → onmount.
4. The repeatable methodology (run this per language/framework)
Step 1 — Pick the framework's canonical flow question
Every framework has a signature data/control flow. Pick the "how does X reach/become Y"
question and a real repo (add to .claude/skills/agent-eval/corpus.json). Examples:
- React state→DOM, Vue reactive→render, Svelte store→update
- Rails request→controller→view, Spring request→
@Controller→service - Express/Koa request→middleware→handler, FastAPI request→route→dependency
- Redux action→reducer→store, RxJS subscribe→operator→observer
- Any ORM: query builder → SQL execution (django pattern)
Step 2 — Measure the hole (deterministic, no agent)
rm -rf <repo>/.codegraph && ( cd <repo> && codegraph init -i )
node scripts/agent-eval/probe-trace.mjs <repo> <from-symbol> <to-symbol> # does the flow break? where?
node scripts/agent-eval/probe-node.mjs <repo> <break-symbol> # trail: is the next hop missing?
A "No direct call path … breaks at dynamic dispatch" + a sparse trail at the break
point locates the hole (this is exactly how _iterable_class and triggerUpdate
were found). Confirm it's dynamic by reading the break symbol's body.
Step 3 — Classify → choose the mechanism (use the §2 table)
self.<attr>(...)/ descriptor / metaclass → resolver (§3a).for(cb of store)cb()/store.forEach(cb=>cb())→ field-observer synthesizer (§3b).on('e',fn)+emit('e')→ EventEmitter synthesizer (§3b).- Inline handler not a node → named: extraction (already done generically in
tree-sitter.ts); anonymous: synthesizer link-through-body (not yet built).
Step 4 — Implement
- Resolver: add to
src/resolution/frameworks/<lang>.ts— aresolve()branch +claimsReference(name)if the ref name isn't a declared symbol. CopydjangoResolver. - Synthesizer channel: extend
src/resolution/callback-synthesizer.ts— add the framework's registrar/dispatcher name patterns and body patterns (e.g. signals use.connect()/.emit(); Rx uses.subscribe()/.next()). - Reindex (Step 2 command) and re-run
probe-trace— the flow should now connect.
Step 5 — Validate (the same way every time)
- Deterministic:
probe-trace(from,to)finds the path;probe-nodeshows the bridged hop. The previously-broken hop is closed. - Precision: count + spot-check synthesized/resolved edges — no explosion, correct targets:
(Resolver edges aren't
sqlite3 <repo>/.codegraph/codegraph.db \ "select s.name||' → '||t.name||' '||coalesce(e.metadata,'') from edges e \ join nodes s on e.source=s.id join nodes t on e.target=t.id where e.provenance='heuristic';"heuristic; verify via the trace + callees instead.) - Regression: node count stable (
select count(*) from nodes;before/after — a big jump means an extraction change over-fired); existing traces on a control repo intact. - End-to-end agent eval: run the flow question with codegraph and measure
reads / answer-completeness / cost vs a pre-fix baseline:
Then parse:
# headless (exact cost + clean tool sequence) bash scripts/agent-eval/run-agent.sh <repo> with "<flow question>" # or the full A/B + interactive Explore-subagent path: scripts/agent-eval/audit.sh local <name> <url> "<flow question>" allReadcount, codegraph-tool count, cost, and whether the answer now contains the glue symbols (the ones that previously required a read).
Success criteria (per language/framework)
tracefinds the canonical flow end-to-end (no dynamic-dispatch break).- Agent can answer the flow question with Read 0 (achievable in ≥ some runs) and the glue symbols appear in the answer.
- No node explosion and no regression on a control repo.
- Synthesized edges are precise on a spot-check (no generic-name over-linking).

Probe scripts use the built dist/ — run npm run build first. Reindex after any
extraction or resolution change (rm -rf <repo>/.codegraph && codegraph init -i) — the
synthesizer/resolvers run at index time. Test fixtures: keep a tiny per-pattern fixture
(see /tmp/cb-fixture/bus.js; move into __tests__/ when shipping).

| TypeScript/JS | Vue / Nuxt | template events (@click→handler); component composition; reactive→render | S + X | ✅ events + composition (vitepress S / vben M / element-plus L); 🔬 reactive→render (vue-core Proxy runtime — frontier, deferred) |
| TypeScript/JS | Svelte / SvelteKit | template calls/composition; SvelteKit action→api; store→DOM | X | ✅ already strong (realworld S / skeleton M / shadcn L): template {fn()} calls, <Pascal/> composition, import * as api namespace, load→api all work out of the box. + exported-const object-of-functions extraction (SvelteKit actions). 🔬 $lib-namespace-from-action + store/reactive frontier |
| TypeScript/JS | Express / Koa | request → route → handler → service | R + X | ✅ named handlers + middleware + controller/service (resolver) + inline arrow handlers → service body calls (realworld S 19 / parse M / ghost L 65 edges). 🔬 custom routers (payload had 0 routes — not app.get-style) |
| TypeScript/JS | NestJS | request → @Controller → DI service → repo | R | ✅ already well-covered (realworld S / immich M-L / amplication L): @decorator routes (HTTP/GraphQL/microservice/WS) via resolver + DI this.svc.method() controller→service resolves correctly at scale (name + co-location). No dynamic-dispatch hole. 🔬 committed dist/ build output gets indexed (realworld) — general build-dir-ignore follow-up |

| Python | Django ORM | QuerySet → SQL compiler | R | ✅ |
| Python | Django / DRF (views) | url → view → model | R + X | ✅ url→view (path/url/as_view) + DRF router.register→ViewSet (realworld S / wagtail M / saleor L); ORM QuerySet→SQL (prior work). 🔬 signals (post_save→receiver), DRF viewset CRUD actions (inherited), saleor GraphQL resolvers |
| Python | Flask / FastAPI | request → route → handler → dependency | R + X | ✅ Flask: handler resolved across intervening decorators (@login_required) + stacked @x.route lines (microblog S 6→27, redash L decorator routes 6/6); FastAPI: empty-path router-root routes @router.get("") incl. multi-line (realworld S 12→20 / Netflix dispatch L 290/290 100%) + bare-name builtin guard — a handler named after a Python builtin method (index/get/update/count…) was filtered as a builtin and lost its route→handler edge. + Flask-RESTful add_resource(Resource,'/x') → Resource class (redash 6→77) + tuple methods=('GET',) (was mislabeled GET) + broadened detection (requirements/Pipfile/setup + subdir app-factory entrypoints — flask-realworld 0→19). 🔬 FastAPI Depends() dependency edges (light validation) |
| Go | Gin / chi / gorilla/mux / net-http | request → route → handler → service | X | ✅ routes on ANY group var (v1.GET, PublicGroup.GET) not just r/router (gin-vue-admin S→M 4→259 / realworld S / gitness L) — was missing all group-routed apps; named handlers resolve precisely. gorilla/mux confirmed covered by the any-receiver HandleFunc/Handle handling (subrouter-var s.HandleFunc(...) + namespaced handlers; .Methods() chain ignored). 🔬 inline func(c){} handlers (anonymous, body lost); subrouter/PathPrefix path-prefix not prepended (label only); gitness chi custom (26/321) |
| Rust | Axum / actix / Rocket | request → route → handler | R + X | ✅ Axum chained methods + namespaced handlers — .route("/x", get(h1).post(h2)) emitted only the first method+handler, and get(mod::handler) captured the module not the fn (realworld-axum S 12→19, 19/19); balanced-paren scan + per-method nodes + last-::-segment handler. Rocket attribute macros 550/556 (99%) (Rocket repo L) — already strong. crates.io named axum routes resolve (6/8; rest are closures/var handlers; its API is mostly the utoipa routes! macro = frontier). Cargo-workspace module resolution (prior work). actix builder API web::resource("/x").route(web::get().to(h)) / .to(h) / App .route("/x", web::get().to(h)) (actix-examples 51→128 routes, 35→112 resolved) — was the dominant actix style and fully missed (the handler is in .to(h), not get(h)). 🔬 actix web::scope("/api") prefix (not prepended to nested resource paths) + anonymous .to closure handlers |
| Java | Spring | request → @RestController → @Autowired service → repo | R + X | ✅ bare @GetMapping/@PostMapping + class @RequestMapping prefix join → route→method (realworld S / mall M / halo L) — was missing all path-less method mappings; DI controller→service resolves (name + dir) + interface→impl dispatch synthesizer (interfaceOverrideEdges: a class's implements/extends → link each interface/base method → its same-name override; JVM-gated, capped, overload-aware; mall 310 / halo 734 synth edges, node count unchanged) so trace follows controller→service-interface→impl instead of dead-ending at the abstract method — trace("PmsProductController.getList","PmsProductServiceImpl.list") connects in 3 hops (probe-validated). ⚠️ agent A/B null (n=2: the agent went context→explore→Read and never invoked trace, so the synth edges weren't exercised — adoption-gated, the recurring wall; see docs/benchmarks/call-sequence-analysis.md). The fix is correct + improves trace/callees/impact/context connectivity regardless; agent-visible read reduction needs trace adoption. 🔬 Spring Data JPA derived queries (findByEmail) — metaprogramming frontier |
| Kotlin | Spring Boot / Jetpack Compose | request → @RestController → service; @Composable → child | R + X | ✅ Spring Boot Kotlin — the Spring resolver was ['java']-only with a Java-syntax method regex (public X name()); extended to .kt + Kotlin fun name( handler matching (petclinic-kotlin 0→18, 18/18; class-prefix joins; DI controller→repo resolves — showOwner ← GET /owners/{ownerId} → OwnerRepository.findById). Compose composition already static (@Composable→child are plain function calls — Jetcaster PodcastInformation→HtmlTextContainer). Java Spring unchanged (realworld 19/19). 🔬 Ktor routing { get("/x"){…} } lambda handlers (anonymous) + Compose recomposition (implicit mutableStateOf, no setState gate) + coroutines/Flow |
| Swift | Vapor | request → route → controller | R + X | ✅ was 0 routes on every real app — the extractor required an app/router/routes receiver + a "path" literal, but real Vapor routes on grouped builders (let todos = routes.grouped("todos"); todos.get(use: index)) with NO path arg. Rewrote: any receiver, optional/non-string path segments, .grouped/.group{} prefix tracking, use: discriminator. vapor-template S 0→3 (3/3, nested /todos/:todoID), SteamPress M 0→27 (27/27), SwiftPackageIndex-Server L 0→14 (14/14 handler resolution). 🔬 typed-route enums (SPI SiteURL.x.pathComponents — path label only, handler still resolves) + closure handlers app.get("x"){ } (anonymous) |
| C# | ASP.NET Core | request → [Http*] action → DI service → EF | X | ✅ feature-folder detection (realworld 0→19 — was undetected) + bare [HttpGet] + class [Route] prefix (eShopOnWeb 9→33 / jellyfin L) — co-located so no claimsReference needed. 🔬 EF Core LINQ/DbSet (metaprogramming frontier) |
| Ruby | Rails / Sinatra | request → routes.rb → Controller#action → model | R | ✅ RESTful resources/resource routing → controller#action (realworld S 16 / spree M / forem L), pluralization + only/except + claimsReference; explicit routes fixed to precise controller#action too. 🔬 ActiveRecord dynamic finders (Article.find_by_slug) — metaprogramming frontier |
| PHP | Laravel | request → route → controller → Eloquent | R | ✅ precise Route::get([Ctrl::class,'m']) / 'Ctrl@m' → Ctrl@method (realworld S / firefly M / bookstack L) — was resolving the bare method name to the WRONG controller (every index→ArticleController); Route::resource→controller. 🔬 Eloquent dynamic finders/relationships (metaprogramming frontier) |
| PHP | Drupal | request → *.routing.yml → _controller/_form | R | ✅ claimsReference for FQCN handlers (\Drupal\…\Class::method passed the pre-filter only because the ::method name was known; bare _form FQCNs \…\FormClass and single-colon Class:method controller-services were dropped before resolve()) + single-colon controller match + detect via composer type:drupal-* / name:drupal/* + *.info.yml fallback (a contrib module with empty require was undetected → 0 routes). admin_toolbar S 0→14 (14/14) / webform M 208 (144) / core L 836 (536→731, 87%). Remainder is the entity-annotation handler frontier (_entity_form: type.op resolves via the entity's PHP #[ContentEntityType] handlers, not a direct class). 🔬 OOP #[Hook] attributes — Drupal 11 moved ~all procedural hooks to attribute methods (core: 418 #[Hook] files vs 3 procedural), so the resolver's docblock/module_hook detection is obsolete for modern core (0 hook edges) |
| C/C++ | C++ vtables / inheritance | virtual call → override; general direct dispatch | S + X | ✅ general dispatch strong (redis C 29k cross-file calls / leveldb C++ 1.4k) + C++ inheritance extraction fix (base_class_clause was unhandled, so C++ extends edges were missing — leveldb 219→298) + cpp-override synthesizer (base virtual method → subclass override, gated to C++, capped — leveldb 12 precise: Iterator::Next→MergingIterator). 🔬 C callback structs (s->fn() → 422-way fan-out, too noisy to synthesize) + C++ pure-virtual base methods (virtual void f()=0; declarations aren't extracted as nodes, so those overrides can't bridge) |
| Dart | Flutter | setState → build; build → child widgets | S + X | ✅ setState→build synthesizer (Dart analog of react-render: a State method whose body calls setState( → build) gated to .dart + foundational Dart method-range fix — Dart models a method body as a sibling of the signature, so method nodes were signature-only (end==start); now endLine spans the body (required for ALL body analysis: callees, context slices, the synthesizer's body scan). counter initState→build, books build→BookDetail/BookForm; widget composition already static (compass_app build→ErrorIndicator/HomeButton). Controls unchanged (excalidraw 9,290 / django 302 — the range fix only extends sibling-body grammars). 🔬 MVVM Command/ChangeNotifier dispatch (compass_app — no setState) + Navigator.push(MaterialPageRoute(builder:)) nav routes |
| Lua / Luau | Neovim / Roblox | module dispatch (require→mod, mod.fn); event/callback | — | ✅ already covered for the dominant flow (measure-first, no code change) — Neovim is module-heavy (require('x') + x.fn()), and the general import + name resolution already handles it: telescope.nvim 220 imports + 335 cross-file mod.fn calls, traces end-to-end (map_entries ← init.lua → get_current_picker (state.lua)). Luau instance-path require(game:GetService(...)) handled by the extractor. 🔬 event-callback registration (vim.keymap.set(…, fn), autocmd callback=, Roblox signal:Connect(fn)) is predominantly INLINE anonymous closures (corpus ~12 inline vs ~2 named) — the anonymous-handler frontier; named handlers too rare to justify a synthesizer |
| Scala | Play / Akka | request → conf/routes → controller action | R + X | ✅ Play conf/routes → controller — the extensionless conf/routes wasn't indexed; added narrow file-walk opt-in (isPlayRoutesFile) + a Play resolver parsing METHOD /path Controller.action(args) → the action method (computer-database 0→8, 7/8; starter 0→4, 3/4 — the unresolved are Play's framework Assets controller, external). Scala general controller→DAO dispatch already resolves. No-regression: the file-walk change only ADDS Play routes files (excalidraw 9,290 / suite 800 unchanged). 🔬 SIRD programmatic router (-> /v1 Router include + case GET(p"/x") in code) + Akka actor receive/Behaviors.receiveMessage message→handler |
| Swift × Objective-C | mixed iOS apps | Swift obj.foo(bar:) → ObjC -fooWithBar:; ObjC [obj fooWithBar:] → Swift @objc func foo(bar:) |
R | ✅ Swift↔ObjC cross-language bridge — frameworks/swift-objc.ts implements Apple's @objc auto-bridging name math (incl. init forms initWith<First>:, property getter+setter pairs, @objc(custom:) override) and the reverse direction strips Cocoa preposition prefixes (With/For/By/In/On/At/From/To/Of/As) to derive Swift base-name candidates. Validated on Charts S 28/1 obj→swift / swift→objc, realm-swift M 36/1185, wikipedia-ios L 52/983. Genericname blocklist (init, description, count, …) keeps precision. Confidence 0.6 (name-match's 1.0 wins ties) — bridge only fires when name-match has no result. 🔬 Swift generics over ObjC protocols, Swift extensions on ObjC classes (silently miss; matches Java/Kotlin generics frontier) |
| JS × native | React Native legacy bridge | JS NativeModules.X.fn(...) → ObjC RCT_EXPORT_METHOD / Java/Kotlin @ReactMethod |
R | ✅ RN legacy bridge — frameworks/react-native.ts parses RCT_EXPORT_MODULE (default-name from RCT-prefix-stripped class name) + RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(selector:(...)) + RCT_REMAP_METHOD(jsName, selector) on the ObjC side and @ReactMethod + getName() literal on Java/Kotlin. AsyncStorage S 8/8 precise (setItem→legacy_multiSet, etc.), react-native-firebase L 18 precise after RCTEventEmitter built-in blocklist (initial 78 included 60 addListener:/remove: false positives — every emitter subclass declares those via RCT_EXPORT_METHOD, JS callers route through the NativeEventEmitter abstraction not the native method directly). 🔬 dynamic bridge keys (NativeModules[someVar]) — literal-key only |
| JS × native | React Native TurboModules | JS spec interface ↔ native impl | R (spec as ground truth) | ✅ partial — parses TurboModuleRegistry.get*<Spec>('Name') + the Spec interface methods. Each spec method matches to a native impl by selector first-keyword (ObjC) / identifier (JVM). react-native-svg S 9 precise (getTotalLength, getPointAtLength, getCTM, isPointInFill, …) bridging to Java impls (the iOS side is Codegen-auto-generated without RCT_EXPORT_METHOD declarations). 🔬 TurboModule native impl classes that don't use legacy macros (RNSvg iOS — would need inheritance-aware bridging via the Codegen-generated NativeFooSpec superclass) |
| ObjC/Java/Kotlin → JS | React Native event emitters | native sendEventWithName:/emit(...) → JS addListener('e', handler) |
S (cross-lang channel) | ✅ rn-event-channel synthesizer — matches ObjC sendEventWithName:@"X", Swift sendEvent(withName: "X", ...), and JVM .emit("X", ...) to JS addListener('X', handler) keyed by literal event name. Same fan-out cap (EVENT_FANOUT_CAP=6) as in-language channel. Subscribe-wrapper fallback for RN-library APIs (const Foo = { watchX(listener) { addListener('e', listener) } }) — when the handler arg is a parameter, falls back to the enclosing function and then the enclosing constant/variable (reachability-correct attribution to the JS API surface). RNFirebase L 3 push-notification flow edges (UIApplicationDelegate → JS onMessage/onNotificationOpenedApp), RNGeolocation S 2 location-event edges (Swift onLocationChange/onLocationError → JS Geolocation). 🔬 inline arrow handlers addListener('e', d => …) (anonymous frontier) |
| JS × Swift/Kotlin | Expo Modules | JS requireNativeModule('X').fn(...) → Swift/Kotlin Function("fn") { ... } |
R (extract → synthetic method nodes) | ✅ expo-modules framework extractor — parses Swift/Kotlin Module { Name("X"); Function("y") { ... }; AsyncFunction("z") { ... }; Property("w") { ... } } literals and synthesizes method nodes named after each declaration. JS callsites resolve via existing name-matcher (no separate resolve() needed). expo-haptics S 6 method nodes (notificationAsync, impactAsync, selectionAsync × Swift + Kotlin), expo-camera M 41 (full SDK surface incl. takePictureAsync, record, scanFromURLAsync, view props width/height), expo SDK sweep L 134 (7 packages, 72 Swift + 62 Kotlin).

| JS × native | React Native Fabric / Codegen + legacy Paper view components | JSX <MyView prop={v}/> → Codegen spec → native class (or Paper RCT_EXPORT_VIEW_PROPERTY / @ReactProp) |
R (extract) + S (native-impl) + JSX | ✅ fabric-view extractor + fabric-native-impl synthesizer — extractor parses both modern Codegen TS specs (codegenNativeComponent<NativeProps>('Name', ...)) and legacy Paper view-manager macros (RCT_EXPORT_VIEW_PROPERTY on ObjC, @ReactProp on Java/Kotlin). Emits a component node per declaration + a property node per declared prop. Synthesizer links the component to its native impl class by RN's convention-based name+suffix (exact/View/ComponentView/Manager/ViewManager). Combined with reactJsxChildEdges, full consumer flow: JSX <MyView/> → fabric component → native class. Validated on RNSegmentedControl S (legacy Paper) 1 component + 11 props + 4 bridges, RNScreens M (pure Codegen) 27 components + 272 props + 68 bridges (was 0 before Phase 6), RNSkia L (hybrid + monorepo) 5 + 14 + 15 across Codegen TS + Android Java + iOS ObjC.

7. Known limits & gotchas (from the excalidraw/django work)
- Coverage enables, doesn't force, the no-read path. Agents still read to confirm source sometimes; cost stays ~flat (codegraph calls trade for reads). The reliable win is completeness + making Read-0 possible. Don't expect a guaranteed cost drop.
- Vue (validated 2026-05-23, vitepress S / vben M / element-plus L). SFC
<template>is unparsed by the extractor, so template usage needs synthesis (vueTemplateEdges):@click="fn"→ handler, kebab<el-button>→ElButton. PascalCase<Child/>is already covered by the JSX channel (the SFC component node spans the template). Result: agent reads drop in every size (vben login 1–3 vs 4–11), strongest where handlers are local functions (vbenhandleLogin/handleSubmit). Composable-destructure handlers RESOLVED:@click="closeSidebar"whereconst { close: closeSidebar } = useSidebarControl()now follows alias → composable → the returnedclosefn (when it's defined in the composable's file). vitepress sidebar flow dropped 6 → 0 reads (best case). Precise-only — no fallback to the composable itself (the staticuseX()call edge already covers that), so it adds nothing where the returned fn can't be located (e.g. re-exported / external composable). Remaining limits: prefix-convention kebab — element-plusel-button→button.vue(component namedbutton, notElButton), so kebab stays unresolved there; and reactive→render (vue-core Proxy runtime) — the deep framework-internal frontier, deferred. - Svelte / SvelteKit (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / skeleton M / shadcn L) — already well-covered.
Unlike Vue, the
.svelteextractor already parses the template:extractTemplateCalls({fn()}),extractTemplateComponents(<Pascal/>composition — skeleton 956 / shadcn 1610 reference edges), plusimport * as apinamespace +load→api resolution all work. Agent A/B (realworld login): with codegraph 1 read vs without 4 — codegraph already wins out of the box. The one extraction gap was object-of-functions (export const actions = { default: async () => {} }; the walker deliberately skips object-literal functions to avoid inline-object noise). Fixed for EXPORTED consts (general — Redux/Express handler maps too);extractFunctionnameOverridekeeps inline-object arrows skipped. Residual: a$lib-alias namespace call (api.post) from an extracted action node doesn't resolve even though the same alias resolves forload— a deeper resolver interaction, deferred (local/relative calls from actions connect). Lesson: measure before assuming a hole — modern Svelte barely useson:click={fn}(form actions / callback props instead), so the assumed event-handler hole wasn't the real one; Svelte needed far less than Vue. - Express / Koa (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / parse M / ghost L) — high-value inline-handler fix.
The resolver already handled named handlers, middleware, and
XController.method/XService.method. The real hole was inline arrow route handlers (router.post('/x', async (req,res) => {...})— the dominant modern pattern): the handler regex[^)]+broke on the arrow's), so the route connected to NOTHING and the anonymous handler's body (the request→service flow) was lost. The entire inline-handler API was unreachable (realworldPOST /users/login→ 0 edges). Fixed (frameworks/express.ts): span the call with a string-aware balanced scan; for inline arrows, extract the body's calls (RESERVED-filtered to drop res/req/builtins) and attribute them to the route node → realworld 19 / ghost 65 precise route→service edges (POST /users/login→login, POST /articles→createArticle, …), no node explosion, framework-scoped (zero blast radius off Express). Deterministic win is clear; the agent A/B is muddied by repo characteristics — realworld (39 files) is below the size where codegraph beats reading, and Ghost's layered custom-API architecture makes both arms thrash. Residual: custom routers — payload's 6.4k-file codebase had 0 routes (its router abstraction isn'tapp.get-style, so undetected). Lesson inverse of Svelte: Express's dominant pattern WAS the uncovered one, so it needed real work like Vue. - NestJS (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / immich M-L / amplication L) — already well-covered. The
nestjsresolver handles @decorator routes (HTTP/GraphQL/microservice/WS). DI controller→service (this.svc.method()) resolves correctly even at scale — every immich controller→service edge hit the right same-module service (addUsersToAlbum→addUsers,getMyApiKey→getMine,copyAsset→copy) via name + co-location, no type_of edge needed. Agent A/B (immich album flow): codegraph eliminated Grep (0 vs 3) tracing route→controller→service. No dynamic-dispatch hole. One GENERAL hygiene gap surfaced (not NestJS-specific): the realworld example commits itsdist/build output, which codegraph indexes (246 dup nodes) because the file walk only respects.gitignorewith no default build-dir ignore. Real apps (immich/amplication) gitignoredist/(0 dup nodes), so it's narrow — a default ignore fordist/build/out/.next/coverageis a clean follow-up, deferred (core-indexer change, the user's call). - Rails (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / spree M / forem L) — high-value RESTful-routing fix. The
railsresolver only saw explicitget '/x' => 'c#a'routes, so resource-routed apps (the dominant pattern) had ZERO route nodes (realworld + spree). Fixed (frameworks/ruby.ts): expandresources :x/resource :xinto their RESTful actions (only/except filters + pluralization for the singularresource), reference a precisecontroller#action, and resolve that to the action method in<ctrl>_controller.rb(explicit routes fixed too — they referenced a bare ambiguousaction). realworld 0→16, forem 0→635 precise route→action edges. Agent A/B (forem comment-creation, large): codegraph 1–4 reads / 0 grep / 47–53s vs without 4–5 reads / 2–3 grep / 66–85s — fewer reads, no grep, faster. TheclaimsReferencepre-filter was the gotcha:articles#indexnames no declared symbol, soresolveOnedropped it beforeresolve()ran — needed the same claim hook as the django ORM work. Residuals: Rails Engine routing (spree still 0 — it mounts an engine, notconfig/routes.rbresources); ActiveRecord dynamic finders (Article.find_by_slug— metaprogramming frontier). - Spring (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / mall M / halo L) — bare-mapping + class-prefix routing fix.
The resolver required a string path in the mapping regex, so BARE method mappings (
@PostMappingwith the path on the class@RequestMapping) — the dominant multi-method-controller pattern — were missed (halo had 28 routes for 2444 files; realworld's 2-action favorite controller linked only one). Fix (frameworks/java.ts): treat class@RequestMappingas a PREFIX (joined, not a bogus route); match verb-specific mappings BARE-or-with-path; also handle method-level@RequestMapping(method=...)(older style). realworld 13→19, mall →246 precise route→method (class prefix joined); DI controller→service resolves (article→findBySlug). Agent A/B (mall cart flow): with codegraph 0 reads/0 grep vs without 2/2. A first cut regressed mall 292→1 by dropping@RequestMapping-on-method — caught by the cross-repo route-count check; the playbook's regression guard earns its keep. Residuals: halo's custom patterns (9/29 resolve); Spring Data JPA derived queries (metaprogramming frontier). - Django / DRF (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / wagtail M / saleor L) — mostly covered + a DRF-router
fix. The ORM (
_iterable_class→ModelIterable, the original investigation) and URL routing (path/url/as_view→view) were already done. The one hole: DRFrouter.register(r'articles', ArticleViewSet)(the core CRUD endpoints) wasn't extracted — onlypath()/url()were. Fix (frameworks/python.ts): matchrouter.register(the STRING first arg separates it fromadmin.register(Model, Admin), whose first arg is a model class) → route→ViewSet class. Narrow in this corpus (realworld has 1 router; wagtail usespath(), saleor is GraphQL) but real for DRF-router APIs. Agent A/B (wagtail Page flow, medium): codegraph 4–7 reads / 1–4 grep / 58–81s vs without 7–9 reads / 6 grep / 82–86s — fewer reads, fewer greps, faster. No regression (wagtail/saleor route counts unchanged — purely additive). Residuals: signals (post_save→receiver), DRF viewset CRUD actions (inherited from the base class, not in the user's ViewSet), saleor's GraphQL resolvers. - Laravel (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / firefly M / bookstack L) — route precision fix. The
resolver discarded the controller from the handler:
Route::get([UserController::class,'index'])/'UserController@index'emitted a BAREindexref, which name-matching mis-resolved to the WRONG controller (everyindex/show→ whichever it found first; realworld GET user → ArticleController.index, should be UserController). Fix (frameworks/laravel.ts): emit preciseController@method(array + string syntax, namespace-stripped) +claimsReferenceit past the pre-filter → existing Pattern-4resolveControllerMethod. realworld all routes correct; bookstack 267/332 precise (GET pages → PageApiController.list). Agent A/B (bookstack page-view, large): codegraph 2–3 reads / 1–2 grep / 51–60s vs without 4–6 / 3–5 / 60–74s. No node explosion. Residuals: firefly resolves only 3/568 (its fluent->uses()/['uses'=>...]handler format isn't parsed); Eloquent dynamic finders (metaprogramming frontier). - Gin / chi (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / gin-vue-admin M / gitness L) — group-var routing fix.
The route regex matched only
(router|r|mux|app|e).METHOD(...), but real apps route on GROUP vars (v1.GET,PublicGroup.GET,userRouter.POST), so group-routed apps connected almost nothing (gin-vue-admin: 4 routes for 625 files). Fix (frameworks/go.ts): broaden the receiver to ANY identifier — the verb + string-path + handler-arg gates keep it route-specific (http.Get(url)has no handler arg → excluded). gin-vue-admin 4→259 routes (257 resolve precisely:POST createInfo → CreateInfo); realworld stable (no regression); no garbage. Agent A/B (create-user flow): codegraph 0 reads / 0 grep / 26–30s vs without 3 / 3 / 52–53s — cleanest backend win yet (0/0, 2× faster). Residuals: inlinefunc(c *gin.Context){}handlers (anonymous, body lost — like Express before its fix); gitness's chi custom handlers (26/321). - ASP.NET Core (validated 2026-05-23, realworld S / eShopOnWeb M / jellyfin L) — detection + bare-attribute
fix. Two holes: (1)
detect()only fired on a/Controllers/dir or rootProgram.cs/.csproj(which often isn't in the indexed source set), so feature-folder apps (realworld:Features/*/FooController.cs, subdirProgram.cs) were NEVER detected → 0 routes despite a full controller set. Broaden: scan Controller/Program/Startup.csfor ASP.NET signatures. (2) the attribute regex required a string path → bare[HttpGet](route on the class[Route("[controller]")]) missed (eShopOnWeb was 24 bare / 2 string). Match bare-or-path + join the class[Route]prefix (like Spring). NoclaimsReferenceneeded — ASP.NET attribute routes are co-located IN the controller with the action, so the bare method ref resolves same-file (unlike Rails/Laravel, whose routes live in a separate file). realworld 0→19, eShopOnWeb 9→33, jellyfin 362→399, all precise (GET /articles → Get, class prefix joined), no explosion. Agent A/B (eShop catalog listing): codegraph 1–2 reads / 0 grep / 63–75s vs without 6–7 / 1–6 / 77–79s. Residual: EF Core LINQ/DbSet (metaprogramming frontier). - Flask / FastAPI (validated 2026-05-23, fastapi-realworld S / flask-microblog S / Netflix dispatch L /
redash L) — decorator-extraction + builtin-name fixes. Routes were extracted but the request→route→handler
flow broke at two regex assumptions and one resolver filter. (1) Flask required
defimmediately after@x.route(...), so any intervening decorator (@login_required,@cache.cached) or stacked@x.routelines (one view bound to several URLs) dropped the route — microblog extracted 6 of 27 real routes. Switched Flask to FastAPI'sfindHandlerscan (match the decorator, then find the nextdef), skipping intervening decorators: 6→27, all resolved. (2) FastAPI's path regex[^'"]+rejected the empty path@router.get("")(router/prefix-root routes, frequently multi-line) → realworld lost 8 endpoints (list/create article, comments, login/register).[^'"]+→[^'"]*+ empty-path name guard: realworld 12→20, Netflix dispatch 290/290 (100%). (3) Bare-name builtin guard (src/resolution/index.ts): a handler named after a Python builtin method (index,get,update,count…) was filtered byisBuiltInOrExternaland lost its route→handler edge — microblog'sindexview (its/+/indexstacked routes) resolved to nothing. The dotted-method branch already had aknownNamesguard; mirrored it onto the bare branch (a name a declared symbol owns is not a builtin call). +2 legit edges on realworld, 0 change on the django control (302/373 identical — precision held). Flows trace end-to-end (login → get_user_by_email2 hops;create_user → from_dict). Agent A/B (realworld login-auth flow, n=2/arm): codegraph 0–1 read / 0 grep / 3–4 codegraph / 30–39s (context→[search]→trace→node) vs without 3 read / 2 grep / 33–36s — eliminates grep, cuts reads to 0–1 (small repo, so wall-clock ties; the tool-count drop is the win). Residuals: Flask-RESTful class-basedapi.add_resource(Resource,'/x')(redash's actual API shape — a separate class-method-as-verb mechanism, NOT the README's documented decorator/blueprint Flask) and a pre-existing JS file-route false-positive in redash's React frontend (32 bogus.js"routes" from a JS resolver — unrelated to Python). Lesson: the builtin-name filter is a silent precision tax across Python — any view/function namedget/index/updateloses edges; the fix is general (helps Django/DRF handlers too), not Flask-specific. - Drupal (validated 2026-05-23, admin_toolbar S / webform M / drupal-core L) — pre-filter + detection fixes.
The
*.routing.ymlextractor and the_controller/_formresolver already existed but two gaps kept most routes unlinked. (1) TheclaimsReferencepre-filter gotcha (again): Drupal handler refs are FQCNs (\Drupal\…\Class::method), bare form classes (\…\SettingsForm), or single-colon controller-services (\…\Controller:method). Only the::methodshape survivedresolveOne's pre-filter (itsmemberis a known method name); the bare-FQCN forms and single-colon controllers named no declared symbol and were dropped beforeresolve()ran. AddedclaimsReference(FQCN /Class:method/hook_*) + a single-colon branch in the controller regex → core 536→731 of 836 routes (87%); all three previously-broken shapes now resolve (/admin/content/comment→CommentAdminOverview form,/big_pipe/no-js→setNoJsCookie controller). (2) Detection missed standalone contrib modules:detect()only checked composerrequirefor adrupal/*dep, but a contrib module often has an EMPTYrequireand is identified only by"name":"drupal/<m>"+"type":"drupal-module"(admin_toolbar → 0 routes). Broadened to composer name/type- a
*.info.ymlfallback → admin_toolbar 0→14 (14/14). Canonical flow traverses (getAnnouncements←/admin/announcements_feed); node count unchanged (resolution-only). Agent A/B (dblog route→controller, n=2/arm): codegraph 0 read / 1 grep / 20–22s vs without 1 read / 2 grep + glob / 28–32s — fewer tools and faster on the ~10k-file core. Residuals (frontier): entity-annotation handlers (_entity_form: comment.default→ handler classes declared in the entity's#[ContentEntityType]annotation, not a direct ref — ~78 of core's ~105 remaining unresolved) and OOP#[Hook]attributes — Drupal 11 converted nearly all procedural hooks to#[Hook('event')]methods (core: 418 attribute files vs 3 procedural*.modulehooks), so the resolver's procedural-hook detection (docblock@Implements/module_hooknaming) finds essentially nothing in modern core (0 hook edges). Both are real follow-ups, not regressions.

- Rust / Axum + Rocket + actix (validated 2026-05-23, realworld-axum S / actix-examples + Rocket M / crates.io L) — Axum chained-method + namespaced-handler fix.
The attribute-macro path (
#[get("/x")] fn h, actix/Rocket) and single Axum.route("/x", get(h))already worked, but the Axum extractor used a flat regex that captured only the FIRSTmethod(handler)of a route and only a bare\w+handler. Two dominant Axum idioms broke it: (1) method chains.route("/user", get(get_current_user).put(update_user))— the.putarm produced NO route node, so half the API was missing (realworld-axum had only the GET of each chain); (2) namespaced handlersget(listing::feed_articles)—\w+capturedlisting(the module), so the route resolved to nothing. Rewrote with a balanced-paren scan of each.route(...)call, a per-method node, and last-::-segment handler names → realworld-axum 12→19 routes, 19/19 resolved (every chained PUT/DELETE/POST now present;feed_articlesresolves). Rocket needed nothing (550/556, 99% — attribute macros). crates.io confirms namespaced axum handlers resolve (router.rs 6/6) but defines most of its API via theutoipa_axumroutes!macro (frontier) and has a SvelteKit frontend (42 of its 50 "routes" are+page.svelte, correctly attributed to SvelteKit). Agent A/B (update-user flow, n=2/arm): codegraph 0–2 read / 0 grep / 32–40s vs without 3 read / 0–1 grep + glob / 33–41s — modest (realworld-axum is in the small-repo tie zone) but consistent, with one fully-clean 0-read/0-grep run. Node count stable; the Axum fix is Axum-scoped (the attribute/actix/Rocket path is untouched). - Actix runtime routing (validated 2026-05-23, actix-examples) — the builder API was the dominant style and fully missed.
Actix's attribute macros (
#[get("/x")] fn h) were covered, but real actix apps route via the builder API:web::resource("/path").route(web::get().to(handler)),web::resource("/").to(handler)(all methods), and App-level.route("/path", web::get().to(handler)). The handler lives in.to(handler), notget(handler), so the Axum.routescan extracted nothing for them — actix-examples had 80web::resourcecalls all unlinked. Added an actix block: scan eachweb::resource("/path")(bounding its method chain at the next resource to avoid bleed) forweb::METHOD().to(h)pairs, fall back to a direct.to(h)(methodANY), plus the App-level.route("/x", web::METHOD().to(h))form. actix-examples 51→128 routes, 35→112 resolved (87.5%) (GET /user/{name}→with_param,POST /user→add_user). No regression on Axum (realworld-axum still 19/19) — the actix patterns (web::resource/web::method().to()) don't appear in Axum code. Residuals (frontier):web::scope("/api")prefixes aren't prepended to nested resource paths, and anonymous.to(|req| …)closure handlers have no named target (the ~16 still-unresolved). - Swift / Vapor (validated 2026-05-23, vapor-template S / SteamPress M / SwiftPackageIndex-Server L) — the resolver was effectively dead on real apps.
The Vapor extractor only matched
(app|router|routes).METHOD("path", use: handler), but modern Vapor routes on a grouped builder insideRouteCollection.boot(routes:):let todos = routes.grouped("todos"); todos.get(use: index)— any var receiver, NO path arg (the path is the group prefix). Every real app tested extracted 0 routes (template, penny-bot, Feather, SteamPress, SPI). Rewrote the extractor: (1) any receiver\w+(not just app/router/routes); (2) optional path segments that may be non-string (User.parameter,:id, a path constant) — theuse:keyword is the discriminator separating a route fromEnvironment.get("X")/req.parameters.get("X"); (3) a group-prefix map fromlet X = Y.grouped("a")andY.group("a") { X in }so a route on a grouped/nested var gets the full path (todo.delete(use: delete)→DELETE /todos/:todoID). Result: vapor-template 0→3 (3/3, nested path exact), SteamPress 0→27 (27/27, incl.BlogPost.parameterroutes), SPI 0→14 (14/14 handler resolution). Canonical flow traverses (createPostHandler←GET /createPost, →createPostView). Residuals (frontier): typed-route enums (SPI registers viaapp.get(SiteURL.x.pathComponents, use:)— handler resolves but the path label is/, no string literal) and closure handlers (app.get("hello") { req in }— anonymous, no named target). penny-bot (Discord bot) and Feather (custom module router) have no standard Vapor routing at all — the Vapor ecosystem's routing styles vary widely. Agent A/B (create-post flow, n=2/arm): codegraph 0 read / 0 grep / 4 codegraph / 26–30s (both runs fully clean) vs without 1–4 read / 0–2 grep + glob/bash, one run spawned a sub-agent / 34–48s. Node count stable; fix is Vapor-scoped (SwiftUI/UIKit untouched). - React Router routing (validated 2026-05-23, react-realworld S) — the routing half of the React row.
React rendering (state→render, jsx-child) was already covered; route→component was NOT —
react.tsextracted components/hooks and Next.js file routes but returnedreferences: [], so<Route>declarations produced nothing. Added<Route>JSX extraction: scan a window after each<Route\b(so the nested>inelement={<Comp/>}doesn't truncate it), pullpath="…"+component={C}(v5) orelement={<C/>}(v6) in any attribute order, emit a route node + component reference (resolves via the existing PascalCaseresolveComponent). react-realworld 0→10, 10/10 (/login→Login,/editor/:slug→Editor,/@:username→Profile);<Routes>container excluded via the\bboundary. No regression on excalidraw (9,290 nodes, 46 react-render synth edges intact, 0 false routes). 🔬 the object data-router APIcreateBrowserRouter([{ path, element }])(modern v6, used by bulletproof-react) is object-based not JSX — a separate frontier; plus a pre-existing Next.js false-positive (*.config.mjsin apages/app dir treated as a route). - Dart / Flutter (validated 2026-05-23, flutter/samples: counter S / books S / compass_app M) — synthesizer + a foundational extractor fix.
Flutter's reactive hop is
setState(() {…})re-runningbuild(context)— framework-internal, no static edge, so "tap → handler → setState → rebuilt UI" dead-ends at setState (the Dart analog of React's setState→render). Added aflutter-buildsynthesizer channel (Phase 4b): for each Dart class with abuildmethod, link every sibling method whose body callssetState(→build(gated to.dart). But it was blocked by a foundational gap: Dart models a method body as a sibling of themethod_signaturenode, so every Dart method node hadendLine == startLine(signature only) —sliceLines(start,end)saw onlyvoid f() {, never the body. Fixed in the sharedcreateNode: when a function/method's resolved body sits beyond the node, extendendLineto it (guarded — child-body grammars are a no-op; controls excalidraw 9,290 / django 302 unchanged). This fix is foundational, not Flutter-specific — every Dart callee/context/body scan was previously truncated. Result: counterinitState→build, booksinitState→build+build→BookDetail/BookForm. Widget composition needs no synthesis — unlike JSX, Dart widgets are explicit constructor calls (BookDetail(...)), already static (compass_appbuild→ErrorIndicator/HomeButton/_Card). Residuals (frontier): MVVM state management (compass_app uses Command/ChangeNotifier + ListenableBuilder, 0 setState — a different dispatch shape) andNavigator.push(MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => DetailPage()))navigation (route-as-widget, uncovered). - Kotlin / Spring Boot + Jetpack Compose (validated 2026-05-23, spring-petclinic-kotlin S / compose-samples) — extend Spring to Kotlin; Compose is free.
Kotlin had ZERO framework coverage — no resolver listed
kotlin, and the Spring resolver waslanguages: ['java']with a.java-only extract gate and a Java-syntax handler regex (public X name()). So Spring Boot Kotlin apps (identical@GetMapping/@RestControllerannotations,.ktfiles) extracted 0 routes. Extended the Spring resolver:['java','kotlin'], accept.kt, and add a Kotlinfun name(alternative to the handler-method regex (Kotlin has no access modifier and the return type follows the name). petclinic-kotlin 0→18, 18/18; class@RequestMappingprefixes join, stacked annotations (@ResponseBody) are skipped, DI controller→repo resolves (showOwner ← GET /owners/{ownerId}→OwnerRepository.findById/VisitRepository.findByPetId). Java Spring unchanged (realworld 19/19 — the Kotlinfunand Javapublic Xalternatives are disjoint per language). Jetpack Compose composition needs no work —@Composablefunctions calling child@Composables are plain Kotlin function calls, already static (JetcasterPodcastInformation→HtmlTextContainer,FollowedPodcastCarouselItem→PodcastImage), like Dart widget constructors. Agent A/B (view-owner flow, n=2/arm): codegraph 0–1 read / 0 grep / 1 codegraph / 11–18s (a singlecontextcall answers it) vs without 2 read / 0–1 grep + glob / 20–28s. Residuals (frontier): Ktorrouting { get("/x") { … } }inline-lambda handlers (anonymous, no named target), Compose recomposition (implicit — readingmutableStateOftriggers recompose, nosetState-style gate to anchor a synthesizer), and coroutines/Flow dispatch. - Lua / Luau (validated 2026-05-23, telescope.nvim / lualine.nvim / Knit — measure-first, already covered).
The matrix guessed "event/callback dispatch (synthesizer)", but measurement says otherwise: real Neovim
plugins are MODULE-dispatch-heavy (
local m = require('telescope.actions'); m.fn()), and codegraph's generalrequire-import + cross-file name resolution already handles it — telescope.nvim has 220 resolved imports and 335 cross-filemodule.fncall edges, and a flow traces end-to-end (map_entries ← init.lua → get_current_pickerin actions/state.lua). The Luau extractor already handles Roblox instance-path requires (require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Packages.Knit)). The assumed hole isn't real — like Svelte/NestJS. The genuine frontier is event-callback registration (vim.keymap.set(mode, lhs, fn), autocmd{callback=fn}, Robloxsignal:Connect(fn)), but it's predominantly INLINE anonymous closures (corpus: ~12 inline:Connect(function…)vs ~2 named), and telescope's keymaps are inline functions or vim-command STRINGS, not named refs. A named-only callback synthesizer would cover a tiny fraction, so per "measure before building / partial coverage is worse than none", none was built — no code change; recorded as validated. Agent A/B (actions.utils map flow, n=2/arm): codegraph 0 read / 0 grep / 18–24s vs without 1 read (+glob) / 24–25s — small flow so modest, but the 0-read confirms the module dispatch is navigable. - Scala / Play (validated 2026-05-23, play-samples: computer-database / starter / rest-api) — Play conf/routes → controller.
Scala's general dispatch (controller→DAO) already resolves, but Play declares routes in an EXTENSIONLESS
conf/routesfile (GET /computers controllers.Application.list(p: Int ?= 0)) the file walk never indexed (isSourceFilerequires an extension). Added a narrow opt-in (isPlayRoutesFile:conf/routes/*.routes) routed through the no-grammar (yaml-style) path, plus a Play resolver that parses eachMETHOD /path Controller.action(args)line (dropping package prefix + args) and resolvesController.actionto the action method in that controller class. computer-database 0→8 routes, 7/8 (the 1 unresolved iscontrollers.Assets.versioned— Play's framework Assets controller, external), starter 0→4 (3/4). The flow connects request→route→controller→DAO. A/B (list-computers, n=2/arm): codegraph 0 read / 0 grep / 3 codegraph / 17–22s vs without 2–3 read / 1–2 grep + glob / 16–17s. No-regression: the file-walk change only ADDS Play routes files (narrow match) — excalidraw 9,290 and the full suite (800) unchanged. Residuals (frontier): Play SIRD programmatic routers (-> /v1 v1.PostRouterinclude +case GET(p"/x")in a Router class — rest-api-example) and Akka actor message→handler (receive { case Msg => … }/Behaviors.receiveMessage— untyped, a synthesizer shape). - C / C++ (validated 2026-05-23, redis C / leveldb C++) — general dispatch works; a C++ inheritance fix + override bridge.
Measure-first: C/C++ DIRECT dispatch is excellent out of the box (redis 29,464 cross-file call edges,
leveldb 1,462) — the bulk of the value. The dynamic-dispatch frontier is two shapes: (1) C callback
structs (
struct {.proc=fn}+cmd->proc()) — but in redis theprocfield fans out to 422 command functions, far too noisy to synthesize precisely, so deliberately skipped (per "partial coverage worse than none"). (2) C++ vtables (iter->Next()→ the subclass override). The override link was blocked upstream:extractInheritancehandledbase_clause(PHP) but not C++'sbase_class_clause, so C++extendsedges were missing/partial (leveldb 219→298 after the fix). Added acpp-overridesynthesizer channel (the C++ analog of react-render): for eachextendsedge, link each base method → the subclass method of the same name, so trace/callees from the interface method reach the implementation. leveldb 12 precise edges (Iterator::Next/Seek/Prev → MergingIterator), 0 on C (redis) and TS (excalidraw — gated to C++); the C++ override integration test passes. Residual (frontier): pure-virtual base methods (virtual void Next() = 0;) are declarations the extractor doesn't emit as nodes, so overrides of a purely-abstract interface can't be bridged (only bases with a real method node — an inline default or non-pure virtual); plus the C callback-struct fan-out. Relied on deterministic validation (no A/B): the cross-file-call counts + precise override spot-check are conclusive. - Frontier pass (2026-05-23) — tractable partials closed, noise/hard ones deliberately left. After the main
sweep, swept the documented frontiers and triaged by precision/value. DONE: React Router object
data-router (literal
createBrowserRouter([{path, element}])); Next.js route false-positives (config files +nextjs-pages/substring → require a real page ext + path-segment match; bulletproof 4→0); Flask-RESTfuladd_resource→Resource class (redash 6→77); Flask tuplemethods=(…); Flask detection broadened to subdir/app-factory entrypoints (flask-realworld 0→19); gorilla/mux confirmed already covered (any-receiver HandleFunc) + a test. LEFT (with rationale, not punts): C callback-struct dispatch (cmd->proc()→ 422-way field fan-out = noise); metaprogramming finders (ActiveRecord/Eloquent/Spring-Data-JPA/EF — dynamic naming, no static target); reactive runtimes (Vue Proxy / Compose recomposition — deep internals, no setState-style gate); Akka actor message dispatch (untyped); pure anonymous inline closures (the def-use frontier — no named target); React lazy data-router (variable paths + lazy imports); C++ pure-virtual base methods (extracting bodyless decls risks duplicate decl/def nodes for modest gain). Forcing these would add noise, violating "partial coverage worse than none." - Difficulty gradient is real: named-ref dispatch (resolver) is cheap; anonymous callback dispatch (synthesizer) is medium; anonymous-arrow handlers are the hard remaining gap (no identity → need synthesizer link-through-body, not yet built).
- Extraction changes are high blast radius. The Phase-3 named-inline-callback
extraction is in the shared
tree-sitter.tswalker — re-check node counts across several languages after any extraction change (it held at +3 on excalidraw because anonymous arrows are skipped). - Synthesizer precision guards: registrar-name uniqueness, named-only handlers, and
an event fan-out cap (skip generic events like
error/change). Receiver-type matching (viatype_ofedges) is the planned precision upgrade — deferred. - As-built shortcuts (callback synthesizer): pairs registrar/dispatcher by file+field
(class proxy), regex arg-recovery (named refs only),
provenance:'heuristic'+metadata.synthesizedBy(the enum has no'callback-synthesis'). See the design doc. - Synthesizer runs only in
resolveAndPersistBatched(full index) — wire intoresolveAndPersistfor incremental sync before shipping. - Symbol ambiguity in
trace: common names (render,execute_sql) match many nodes; trace picks among them and may start from the wrong one. Trace from the specific method, not a class name.
8. Definition of done (the whole mission)
For each language × framework: the canonical flow traces end-to-end, an agent can
answer the flow question with Read 0 in at least some runs with the glue present, no node
explosion, no regression — recorded in the matrix (§6) with the validating repo + numbers.
Then ship-prep: tests per mechanism, CHANGELOG, wire incremental, commit.
