Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 a3898cdc70 feat(mcp): relevance scoring overhaul for explore — kill incidental name-collision matches (CG-10, #1500)
Explore's per-file relevance awarded +50/+10/+3/+1 by match class and admitted
anything scoring >= 3. Neither half held up: the tier said HOW a symbol reached
us, never whether the match was evidence, and an absolute floor admits noise on
any repo where the top file scores 50+. Three scripts/agent-eval/*.mjs harnesses
took 63% of this repo's own "how does explore allocate its output budget" answer
on nothing but an unused `const explore` and a `const BUDGET`.

Four levers:

- KIND WEIGHT (RELEVANCE_KIND_WEIGHT): callables and types 1.0, members ~0.5,
  variable/constant/parameter 0.15-0.35. A weak-kind symbol with no usage edge
  anywhere in the graph (`contains` excluded — nesting is not usage) drops to
  0.08. Only weak kinds in the top two tiers pay for the DB probe; the subgraph's
  own edges answer most cases free. No measurable latency change (210 vs 211
  ms/call, n=12 interleaved).

- PERIPHERAL CAP: nodes >=2 hops from any match accumulate into a bucket capped
  at 5. Uncapped they added a flat +1 each, so a file grew more relevant by being
  bigger — parse-session.mjs reached 22 off one constant plus twelve unrelated
  symbols.

- RANK PENALTY: generated files x0.3, low-value x0.5, applied to the score AND
  the graph mass. Score alone would not have fixed #1500 — the generated CRUD
  carries MORE graph mass than the hand-written use-case, and graph mass outranks
  score in the comparator. Self-normalizing, never a hard exclusion.

- RELATIVE FLOOR: clamp(topScore * 0.2, 1, 10). Capped at one full-strength
  direct match so concentration elsewhere can never exclude one (without it a
  named-seed-heavy file pushed the floor to 21 and dropped a file the agent had
  named by class name). Backfills to 3 candidates when it would leave fewer, and
  drops the evidence requirement rather than return nothing at all.

excludeLowValueFiles was dead config — declared per tier, read nowhere; the
test/spec exclusion has been unconditional for a while. Removed. The real gap was
the detector: `isLowValue` anchored on a leading `/`, so a repo-ROOT `test/` dir
(express, cobra, most of npm and Go) never matched — express's routing question
spent 59% of its envelope on three test files. Anchored at `^` too, and the
filter now runs before the floor and judges "are there other candidates?" on the
whole gather.

Measured before/after on the same indexes (baseline bd86ad2):
- payroll-go fixture: generated 57.4% -> 23.5%; answer 25.6% -> 61.5%; cycle.go
  delivered 0 -> 38.9%. Generated ranks #3/#4, was #1/#2.
- self-query fixture: eval scripts 72% -> 0%; tools.ts ranks #1.
- express "route a request": 59% to test/* -> lib/application.js + lib/response.js
- cobra x3, codegraph "indexing pipeline": byte-identical (control)

Diagnostic gains a per-file penalty multiplier and NodeKind mix, so "why did this
file score X" is legible. Selection stages reordered to match the pipeline.

CG-6's gates flip from it.fails to live regressions except the byte-split ones,
which stay open for CG-12 (allocation still follows file size within the ranked
set).

/**
* Regression fixture for GitHub issue #1500 / epic CG-1 — relevance-proportional
* explore budget allocation.
*
* The reporter's repo is a Go service whose GENERATED FKIT CRUD layer sits beside
* the hand-written use-case that does the real work. Asking an architecture
* question that doesn't name the exact use-case ("how does payroll cycle create
* and calculate payslips?") spends the explore envelope on the generated CRUD,
* because the generated layer name-collides on every term in the question while
* the hand-written workflow is one big file that gets clipped.
*
* `__tests__/fixtures/payroll-go/` reproduces that shape permanently. This suite
* is in two halves:
*
* 1. **Fixture shape** — green today. These pin the properties the fixture must
* keep for the gate below to mean anything: the generated/hand-written split
* (including the ordinary-named generated files only a CONTENT header betrays,
* which is the #1500 case), the deliberate name collisions, and the
* runPayrollCycleAll → BuildPayslip → Upsert chain resolving end-to-end. If
* the fixture rots, these fail first and say so.
*
* 2. **Budget allocation** — the gate. CG-10 (relevance scoring) closed most of
* it: the generated CRUD now ranks and delivers BELOW the hand-written
* workflow, and those assertions are live regressions. What remains is
* `it.fails`, which DOCUMENTS THE PART STILL OPEN — vitest passes an
* `it.fails` test only while its body throws, so it goes RED the moment
* CG-12's proportional byte allocation lands.
* **When it goes red, delete the `.fails` — do not delete the test.**
*
* The same assertions run outside vitest, against the built dist and with the
* full CG-4 per-file diagnostic, via `node scripts/agent-eval/probe-allocation.mjs`
* (declared in `scripts/agent-eval/allocation-fixtures.json`).

* generated CRUD delivered 57.4%; the hand-written layer 25.6%, all of it
* domain types. `cycle.go` was allocated the single largest slice (7,052
* chars, 30.6%) and delivered ZERO — the ceiling dropped its whole section —
* so runPayrollCycleAll, the hand-written BuildPayslip and the real Upsert
* never reached the agent.
*
* AFTER CG-10 (relevance scoring): the generated files rank #3/#4 instead of
* #1/#2 — kind-weighted scoring plus a generated rank PENALTY on both the
* score and the graph mass, rather than the old tiebreak-at-equal-score.
* `cycle.go` now delivers 38.9% and the generated layer 23.5%. Four of the
* five gates below are green and are now live regressions.
*
* STILL OPEN, for CG-12 (proportional byte allocation): the render loop
* still allocates by FILE SIZE within the ranked set, and `maxFiles` is 4 at
* this tier — so `payslip_builder.go` ranks #6 and never renders, and
* `func (s *Service) BuildPayslip` is absent. Its `it.fails` passes ONLY
* while that is still true. ⚠ When it goes red, remove `.fails`, keep it.
