Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 57e0854213 fix(explore): recognize Wrangler-style "generated by … by running" banners (CG-25)
Cloudflare Wrangler's `worker-configuration.d.ts` (~12k lines of ambient
types) carried no banner any GENERATED_CONTENT_PATTERNS entry matched:
every existing marker requires `DO NOT EDIT`, a standalone `@generated`,
`<auto-generated>`, or the literal `automatically/auto-generated by`
phrasings. Wrangler emits a bare `Generated by Wrangler by running
`wrangler types``, so the file ranked with pen 1.00 and won 79.4% of an
explore envelope on generic token overlap alone (CG-24).

The discriminator is the reproduction instruction, not the word
"generated": the banner must name a tool AND then say `by running`, i.e.
two separate "by" clauses. That keeps prose out — "the nightly summary is
generated by running the ETL job" has only one — while catching every
CLI-driven emitter that tells you how to regenerate.

Precision swept over 441,856 files across the whole local source tree: 5
hits, all genuine Wrangler output, no false positives.

Isolated before/after on the CG-24 repro (same query, same index, only
the `files.generated` flag differing):

  before  pen 1.00  score 115.0  share 79.4%  3 files rendered
  after   pen 0.30  score  35.4  share 21.1%  4 files rendered

The new pattern stays in the existing table position, below the header
window the detector scans, so the module still does not classify itself.

/**
* Generated-file detection for symbol-disambiguation down-ranking.
*
* When a query like "Send" matches 17 symbols across protobuf scaffolding,
* test mocks, and the hand-written implementation, the FTS ranker often
* surfaces the generated stubs first because their names are identical
* to the implementation's name (validated empirically on cosmos-sdk —
* see project_go_multi_module_audit memory). Generated stubs frequently
* have no body to trace from, so the agent ends up reading source anyway.
*
* This is a relevance hint consulted at disambiguation time (findSymbol /
* findAllSymbols / explore ranking / codegraph_search formatting), NOT a
* hard filter — generated nodes are still in the graph and remain
* reachable; they just rank LAST when there's a real implementation with
* the same name.
*
* Two signals, deliberately separate:
*
* 1. {@link isGeneratedFile} — PATH only, pure and synchronous. Most
* generated files follow the `<basename>.<tool>.<ext>` convention
* (`.pb.go`, `_grpc.pb.go`, `.g.dart`, `_pb2.py`). Free to call
* anywhere, including in a sort comparator.
*
* 2. {@link hasGeneratedHeader} — CONTENT banner in the file's head. Go's
* own convention is a content marker, not a filename one, so a
* generated `payroll.go` sitting beside hand-written use-cases is
* invisible to (1) — that is issue #1500. Evaluated ONCE at index time
* (the file's content is already in memory for parsing) and persisted
* on the file record as `files.generated`; readers get it from the DB
* rather than re-reading headers per request. See
* GENERATED_CONTENT_PATTERNS below for the banners recognized.
*
* Consumers that have a bounded candidate list should use the DB-backed
* union (`QueryBuilder.getGeneratedPathsAmong` /
* `CodeGraph.getGeneratedFilePaths`) so both signals apply; the path-only
* check remains the fallback for callers with no database in hand and for
* indexes built before the flag existed.
*
* NOTE for future editors: the banner literals quoted in this file sit
* BELOW the header window this detector scans, so the module does not
* classify itself. `generated-detection.test.ts` pins that — if you move
* the pattern table upward, the test fails rather than the repo silently
* demoting its own file.
