Subject: [PATCH 01/76] fix(elixir): Phoenix channel extraction was unreachable
 in both branches
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Neither half of extract_channels_elixir could ever fire, so an Elixir project
produced zero Channel nodes regardless of how much Phoenix.PubSub or
Phoenix.Channel it used.

The emit side read ts_node_child_by_field_name(call, "arguments").
tree-sitter-elixir defines no such field — its whole field set is key, left,
operand, operator, quoted_start, quoted_end, right, target and value — so args
was always null and elixir_emit_second_arg() returned early every time.
extract_defs.c has always used a positional second-child fallback for this;
the same fallback is now used here.

The listener side dispatched on strcmp(kind, "def"). There is no `def` node
type in the grammar: an Elixir definition is a `call` whose target is the macro
name. elixir_process_function_def() was therefore dead code, and it also read
`name` and `parameters` fields that do not exist. It now takes the def call,
unwraps a `when` guard, and reads the head's name and parameters positionally,
so guarded clauses like `def handle_in(e, p, s) when is_map(s)` are recognized
too.

Verified against a Phoenix application; the new test covers
Phoenix.PubSub.broadcast/subscribe, a bare push/broadcast emit, and two
handle_in clauses, one of them guarded.

Subject: [PATCH 02/76] fix(registry): stop external package imports binding to
 project homonyms
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A bare call whose name the calling file imports from a package outside the
indexed tree was bound to whatever project symbol shared the simple name.
An `import { eq, sql } from "drizzle-orm"` plus an unrelated local module
exporting `eq`/`sql` produced two CALLS edges from the caller into that
module, strategy unique_name — the same defect on the sequential and the
fused-parallel resolver. The TS-LSP is not involved: it declines the
external names, and the textual registry fallback fires anyway.

The package materializes no node, so resolve_import_node returns NULL, no
IMPORTS edge is written, and the per-file import map carries no key for the
name. Strategies 1-2 miss and resolve_name_lookup binds the call by simple
name. Confidence does not separate the cases: the fabricated edge lands at
0.75 whenever the file also imports anything from the target's module.

Add cbm_suppress_external_import_shadow(), a pure predicate beside the
existing perl/tsjs/cross-language guards and called at the same two emit
sites. It drops the edge only when the callee is a bare identifier, the
strategy is a project-wide guess (suffix_match / unique_name /
field_type_hint / fuzzy), the file imports that exact local name from a
non-relative specifier, and no import-map key binds it. Relative specifiers
are excluded on purpose: they name a path inside the tree, so a missing
IMPORTS edge there is an in-project resolution gap and the fallback can
still be right. A name imported both relatively and from a package keeps
its edge, independently of extraction order.

Addresses the external-import sub-case of #1355.

+ * identifier does NOT denote that symbol.
+ *
+ * Fires only when ALL of:
+ *   - the callee is a BARE identifier: member (`x.foo()`) and package/namespace
+ *     qualified callees are the receiver-aware guards' business, not this one;
+ *   - the match came from a project-wide guess (suffix_match / unique_name;
+ *     field_type_hint / fuzzy listed for the same defensive reason as the TS/JS
+ *     guard) — every import-, receiver- or module-aware strategy is KEPT;
+ *   - the file imports that exact local name from a NON-RELATIVE specifier;
+ *   - no import-map key binds the name, i.e. that import resolved to nothing in
+ *     the graph. A name the map does bind already had its chance at strategy 1
+ *     and is import-aware by construction.
+ *
+ * Relative specifiers are deliberately excluded: they name a path inside the
+ * indexed tree, so a missing IMPORTS edge is an in-project resolution gap and
+ * the same-name fallback can still be right. A name imported from both a
+ * relative and a package specifier keeps the edge — the relative binding wins

From a8293c498ca60c97c4116e40f58dffb751fe22ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Yyunozor <yyunozor@icloud.com>
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 20:41:26 +0200
Subject: [PATCH 03/76] fix: address review feedback on external-import-shadow
 guard

- specifier_is_relative() now also recognizes Windows drive-letter
  (C:\ / C:/) and UNC (\\server\share) specifiers as in-tree, not
  external packages. pr-smoke runs this pipeline on Windows, and the
  previous POSIX-only check ('.' / '/') classified those specifiers as
  external, which could suppress a real edge on that platform only.
  Added external_import_shadow_windows_relative_specifier_kept
  (tests/test_registry.c): red before this fix, green after.
- old_workers / old_single in the #1355 pipeline test are now
  const char*, matching getenv()'s read-only contract.
- The pad_files literal (50) is now a named
  EXTERNAL_IMPORT_SHADOW_PARALLEL_PAD constant with a comment tying it
  to MIN_FILES_FOR_PARALLEL (a private #define in pipeline.c, not
  reachable for a static_assert from tests), so a future bump to that
  threshold can't silently drop the fixture back onto the
  sequential-only path.

Subject: [PATCH 04/76] fix(registry): keep workspace-sibling imports out of
 the external-import guard

A per-language blast-radius census on twelve public repositories found one
regression class in the #1355 guard, and it is not per-language: it is
per-topology. In a workspace monorepo a BARE specifier can still name code
inside the indexed tree. `import { eq } from "drizzle-orm"` written inside
the drizzle-orm repository is a sibling package, not a dependency.

Measured on drizzle-team/drizzle-orm at b7862528, full index, both
resolvers: the guard removed 2609 CALLS edges. Resolving each removed
edge's specifier against the repository's own package manifests puts 1377
of them (52.8%) on the file the specifier actually names. 690 of those are
strict: the specifier names a subpath, that subpath maps to one directory,
and the target file is inside it. The other 687 come from the bare package
root, where the check can only confirm the target is somewhere in the
package, so read 690 as the defensible floor. Only 373 removed edges
pointed at a third-party package, which is the defect #1355 reports.

The same census on eleven other repositories (flask, scrapy, express,
zustand, got, cobra, gin, chi, ripgrep, gson, jq) removed 12 CALLS edges in
total: nine fabricated, one lost (a documentation example importing the
repository's own published name), two weak links between a shell command
and a manifest key. The regression is specific to trees that ship the
package they import.

Consult the pipeline package map before calling a specifier external. It is
keyed by the `name` of every manifest found in the tree, so a workspace
registers each of its own packages there, and a subpath specifier is walked
back one slash at a time ("drizzle-orm/pg-core" -> "drizzle-orm"). A
specifier the tree itself claims is now treated exactly like a relative
one -- kept.

The check is deliberately a NAME test rather than a resolution test. A
workspace package usually points `main` at a build artifact ("./index.cjs")
that is not checked in, so asking whether the entry file exists in the
graph answers "no" for exactly the monorepos this has to protect. Whether
the tree claims the name is decidable from the manifest alone. Passing NULL
restores the previous specifier-shape-only contract, which is what the unit
tests exercise.

After the change the same census removes 391 edges on drizzle-orm, 375 of
them CALLS, and every one resolves to a third-party package; of the other
eleven repositories only got changes, recovering its self-referencing edge.

Subject: [PATCH 05/76] fix(pipeline): skip an unreadable subdirectory in the
 control-file walk instead of aborting the whole index

semantic_manifest_walk_controls() returns CBM_NOT_FOUND the moment
cbm_opendir() fails on any subdirectory, and that propagates all the way up
through cbm_pipeline_build_semantic_manifest(), aborting the entire
index_repository run. discover.c's walk_dir() already treats the same
failure (a permission-denied directory it can't open) as "nothing to
discover here" and moves on. The control walk has no reason to be stricter:
it only looks for .gitignore/.cbmignore/package-manifest files, which a
locked-out directory simply doesn't contribute. Skip it and keep walking,
except at depth 0, where an inaccessible manifest root is still a real
error (pipeline_semantic_manifest_rejects_non_directory_root pins that).

Subject: [PATCH 06/76] fix: grow the ts_lsp AST walk stacks so wide files keep
 every declaration

Three walks in internal/cbm/lsp/ts_lsp.c held at most 256 AST nodes in a
fixed array and stopped pushing when it filled. Nothing reported the stop,
so the passes answered as if they had seen the whole file.

In rebuild_signatures_from_ast and convert_signature_type_params the
seeding loop alone can fill all 256 slots, because it pushes every
top-level child of the file. A file with more than 256 top-level
declarations therefore skipped every declaration past that point: each one
kept whatever signature the first extraction pass had guessed, and a
generic function past the cap kept NAMED instead of TYPE_PARAM, so calls
through it stopped resolving. In infer_return_type_from_body the same cap
made a wide function body answer "unknown return type" for a return the
walk had never reached.

The repo already carries the module that solves this:
internal/cbm/extract_node_stack.h, written for GitHub issue #199 to
replace fixed TSNode stack[] arrays that silently drop subtrees. Nine
extract files use it; ts_lsp.c was never converted. This converts it.

The header gains ts_nstack_init_arena, which takes an arena directly,
because the LSP passes hold a TSLSPContext rather than a CBMExtractCtx.
ts_nstack_init keeps its context argument, which is what makes handing
over the wrong arena a type error, and now delegates to the new function.

Traversal order changes from last-child-first to first-child-first,
because ts_nstack_push_children reverses on push. That also drops an
O(N^2) ts_node_child(n, i) loop for one cursor pass. For
infer_return_type_from_body the new order matches the comment the
function already carried: it finds the first return, where the old code
found the last.

New test tslsp_stress_declarations_past_stack_cap makes the same claim as
tslsp_generic_identity_inference, 300 declarations deeper in the file.
Without this change it fails with "MISSING resolved call: caller~.go ->
callee~use"; with it the ts_lsp suite is 304 passed, 0 failed.

Subject: [PATCH 07/76] test: cover the return-type walk past the old stack cap
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The first commit converted three walks in ts_lsp.c but tested only two of
them. infer_return_type_from_body was changed without a test of its own.

tslsp_stress_return_past_stack_cap makes the same claim as the existing
tslsp_return_inferred_local, with the return placed after 300 statements
— more than the 256 slots the old fixed array held, so the walk used to
stop before reaching it and answer "unknown return type".

Without the fix the suite is 303 passed, 2 failed, the second failure
being this test. With it, 305 passed.

Subject: [PATCH 08/76] fix(extraction): recover C# 14 extension block members

The vendored tree-sitter-c-sharp has no extension production, so an
extension block parses as a constructor_declaration named extension
whose body holds the members as local_function_statement nodes. Nothing
recurses into a constructor body, and has_error stays 0, so the members
were dropped with no signal at all.

Emit them against the enclosing type instead. A constructor carries its
own type name, so this shape is only a genuine constructor inside a type
literally called extension, which keeps its own test.

Fixes #2071

Subject: [PATCH 10/76] fix(registry): resolve package-path imports against the
 project's own packages

JVM package imports were read as external. A Kotlin or Java specifier is a
dotted package path whether the package belongs to the indexed tree or to a
dependency -- `import org.jetbrains.exposed.v1.tests.shared.assertEquals`
and `import kotlin.test.assertEquals` have the same shape, and neither is
"relative". The package map cannot separate them either: the manifests it
reads for the JVM (pom.xml, build.gradle) name build artifacts, not
packages. So every package-path specifier fell through to "external" and
the guard cut calls into the project's own code.

Measured on JetBrains/Exposed at 0e4d81a5, full index: the guard removed
426 CALLS edges, all of them suffix_match, all of them into the
repository's own exposed-tests/.../shared/Assert.kt. Every callee was
assertEquals, assertTrue or assertFalse -- names that file declares and
that the test files import twice, once from the project package and once
from kotlin.test. The double import is what leaves the import map without a
key and hands the call to the project-wide guess.

The evidence that separates the two is the tree's own `package`
declarations, and the pipeline already collects them: the import passes
build a namespace map keyed by the dot-normalized `package` / `namespace` /
`use` of every indexed file, to resolve namespace imports. Publish that map
for the duration of the run instead of freeing it at the end of the import
pass, and consult it before calling a package-path specifier external. The
trailing member segment is walked off one at a time, the same way the
namespace-map lookup in cbm_pipeline_resolve_import_node does it.

This keeps the effect the census called valuable. `java.net.URL` walks to
"java.net" and then "java", neither of which any project file declares, so
a bare `URL` bound to an in-tree URL class is still cut. Only specifiers
the tree itself claims are kept. Passing NULL restores the previous
contract, which is what the unit tests exercise.

After the change Exposed carries 31195 CALLS edges, the same as the
merge-base, with none removed and none added -- stable across 28 indexations
of the repository (8 with this branch, 20 single-threaded). Total edge counts
are not a usable invariant here: roughly one indexation in ten materializes a
`.properties` resource file as a File node under Folder nodes instead of a
Module with its Variables, on the merge-base binary as well, and the file it
picks varies. That flip never touches a CALLS edge and disappears entirely
under CBM_INDEX_SINGLE_THREAD=1.

The walk that strips the trailing member segment has no floor, on purpose: a
third-party package published under a prefix the tree declares reads as
in-tree and the guard stands down, leaving exactly the edge the merge-base
emits. A call-resolution suppressor has to fail on that side.

Subject: [PATCH 11/76] fix(pipeline): run the external-import guard after
 route classification

The #1355 guard dropped the call before the emitters ran, so it did not
only remove the fabricated CALLS edge it is meant to remove: it also
skipped the route, HTTP, CONFIG and URL classification that happens inside
emit_classified_edge / emit_service_edge. A PR that claims to touch nothing
but weak same-name CALLS edges was silently costing Route nodes, and with
them every HANDLES edge that pass_route_nodes.c later bridges onto those
routes.

The shape is not hypothetical. A route registration whose router is a
dependency is exactly a bare call bound by a package specifier: the
resolved QN carries the router library name, emit_classified_edge reads it
as CBM_SVC_ROUTE_REG, and the first argument is path-shaped. On a
66-file TypeScript fixture main mints __route__ANY__/orders and the guard
removed it, on both resolvers.

The fix is the seam the #592/#606 member guard already uses, for the same
reason and with the same comment: join the predicate to drop_plain_call and
let the emitter decide. Only the plain-CALLS fall-through is suppressed, so
the fabricated edge still goes and every service edge stays main-identical.
The two resolvers keep identical gates, as the notes in both files require.

The new pipeline test asserts both halves on both resolvers: the Route node
survives, and a second bare call from the same external package in the same
file is still cut, so the first assertion cannot pass by the guard having
been disarmed.

Subject: [PATCH 14/76] fix(daemon): keep held runtime files fresh and exit
 when one is lost

macOS com.apple.tmp_cleaner deletes /tmp files whose atime, mtime and
ctime are all older than three days. The daemon's long-held lock files
are empty and never written, so under a daemon that lives past three
days the cleaner unlinks them while they are held. The next participant
then creates and locks a fresh inode: forked index workers see the
cohort daemon marker as free, read the live daemon as uncoordinated and
exit 1 on every reindex, and a lost IPC lifetime lock or cohort lifetime
file stops protecting the generation at all. A lost socket identity
marker additionally makes listener close leave the socket pair behind.

The host lifetime loop now runs a heartbeat every 60 s over every file
the generation holds (cohort daemon claim and lease, participant guard,
IPC lifetime reservation, identity marker). Each file is refreshed with
futimens through its held descriptor, only after proving the path still
names that descriptor, so the cleaner never selects it. If any file is
already lost, the daemon logs daemon.lifetime_end
reason=coordination_file_lost and stops cleanly; the next client starts
a coordinated generation. Re-claiming in place would race that client.

Windows needs no refresh (no age-based cleaner; held lock handles deny
deletion), so its entry points only validate the handles.

Closes #2178

Subject: [PATCH 15/76] fix(daemon): address QA round 1

- Separate loss from transient failure. Touch helpers now report OK /
  lost / transient (version_cohort: OK/UNSAFE/IO; ipc: 1/0/-1). Only a
  proven unlink or replacement stops the daemon. A refresh failure on a
  still-valid file (EROFS, EPERM, EMFILE on the marker reopen) logs
  daemon.coordination_touch_failed once, retries every tick, and logs
  daemon.coordination_touch_recovered when it clears.
- Cohort and claim locks now prove the path still names the held inode
  (private_file_revalidate against the stored directory + name), not
  just st_nlink, so rename-away, hard-link+unlink and a replaced
  directory are caught like unlink.
- The runtime service's self-owned participant guard is refreshed by
  the listener heartbeat too.
- Tests: rename-away detection; cohort lease/claim touch (lease with
  only lifetime held is OK, each unlinked file reported independently);
  IPC listener touch now checks timestamps are actually refreshed and
  covers the participant guard and identity-marker replacement.

Subject: [PATCH 17/76] fix(daemon): address QA round 2

- Classify touch failures explicitly. A file is lost only on proof that
  the path no longer names it: ENOENT, st_nlink 0, another inode, a
  symlink or other non-regular entry, or a replaced lock directory. Any
  other syscall failure (EIO, ESTALE, ENOMEM, EACCES on reopen) is
  transient, so a flaky runtime volume no longer stops the daemon. The
  POSIX private-lock touch and the ipc lock/marker touches share this
  rule; the Windows touch reports a failed handle query as transient.
- The identity marker is classified by path (fstatat, no follow) before
  it is reopened, so replacement by a symlink is now loss, not a
  transient reopen failure.
- Tests: symlink replacement of the identity marker (lost); an
  unreadable marker is transient (-1) and recovers (1) once readable;
  the cohort touch test ages both held files and asserts they were
  refreshed.

Subject: [PATCH 18/76] test(daemon): cover host loop stop on coordination file
 loss

Add cbm_daemon_host_wait_for_lifetime_for_test, which runs the production
lifetime loop over caller-held coordination handles, and a runtime test that
ages the claim marker, unlinks the cohort lifetime lock, and asserts the tick
refreshes the marker, logs daemon.lifetime_end reason=coordination_file_lost
file=cohort_lease, and stops the runtime. The seam runs an ephemeral
generation, so a missed loss ends at the initial client window instead of
hanging.

Restore main's formatting on pre-existing lines that a whole-file
clang-format pass had reflowed, so the diff carries only the #2178 change.

Subject: [PATCH 23/76] fix(py-lsp): walk each lambda body at most once per
 call chain

py_emit_call_for re-walked a called lambda's body without tracking lambdas
already being walked, so a lambda that reaches itself was re-walked once per
nesting level up to the walk-depth cap, doubling with two calls per body.
mpmath's calculus/extrapolation.py grows memory at about 1.9 GB/s until it is
killed. Mark the registry entry as expanding during its re-walk and skip
re-entry.

The mpmath file now indexes in 1.1 s at about 80 MB peak RSS; the graph of
the Python 3.14 stdlib + site-packages is byte-identical.

Subject: [PATCH 24/76] docs(cli): list daemon <start|stop|status> in --help

The daemon subcommand was reachable but absent from the usage text. The
description matches the hint daemon status already prints: a warm daemon
lets CLI calls and hooks skip the per-command daemon start-up. It does
not claim to remove a hook process's own image hash.

Subject: [PATCH 25/76] fix(cli): read PATH at its real length and probe
 Windows shim dirs (#221)

Two independent reasons `install` missed opencode on Windows 11:

1. find_in_path() copied PATH into a fixed 4 KB stack buffer through
   cbm_safe_getenv(), and that helper REFUSES a value it cannot fit instead
   of truncating it. On a machine whose PATH exceeds 4096 characters the
   whole PATH was therefore skipped before a single directory was probed.
2. The fallback list had no Windows-shaped entries, and it probed only the
   bare name, so npm's %APPDATA%\npm, mise's %LOCALAPPDATA%\mise\shims and
   scoop's %USERPROFILE%\scoop\shims could never match a .cmd shim.

- Add cbm_env_dup() to platform.c: the allocating sibling of
  cbm_safe_getenv, memory-core owned, wide-read on Windows so a non-ASCII
  PATH is not mangled by the ANSI code page. cli.c no longer needs
  <windows.h> in the middle of the file, nor any raw allocation.
- find_in_path() now exits once, so the PATH copy is freed on every path
  instead of leaking on each success.
- Keep the existing pipx (~/.local/bin) and cargo (~/.cargo/bin) fallbacks,
  built from the home_dir argument rather than cbm_get_home_dir(), and add
  the npm/mise/scoop locations. PATHEXT is probed for every fallback
  directory, not only for PATH entries.
- Bound the fallback loop by NUM_PATHS, not NUM_RETRIES.
- Hoist the PATHEXT list into one file-scope constant and add braces to
  every one-line statement.

Regression guards in tests/repro/repro_issue221.c: a PATH longer than 4096
characters whose LAST entry holds the fixture, and the Windows fallback
shims driven through APPDATA / LOCALAPPDATA / the home_dir argument. Both
are red against the previous code and green with this change. The PATH
case is not Windows-specific: the same 4 KB cap hid entries on macOS and
Linux.

No raw allocator call site is added under src/, so the memory-core ratchet
is untouched; clang-format and the no-skips policy both pass locally.

Subject: [PATCH 26/76] fix(haskell): name infix-form definitions after the
 operator (#2440)

A Haskell definition written in infix form (`a <+> b = ...`,
``x `plus` y = ...``) has no `name` field. resolve_haskell_func_name
took the first child of its `infix` head, which is the left operand, so
the def was indexed as `a` / `x` and the operator itself got no node.

Resolve the head's `operator` field instead: a backticked `infix_id`
yields its inner variable (`plus`), and a symbolic `operator` is
parenthesised in cbm_func_name_node_text (`(<+>)`), matching the name
the prefix form `(<+>) a b = ...` already gets. The def extractor and
the call-scope QN both go through these two functions, so they stay in
agreement.

Fixes #2440

Subject: [PATCH 30/76] fix(store): use 64-bit file offsets in the SQLite page
 writer

sqlite_writer.c computed page offsets as (long)(page - 1) * 65536 and
passed them to fseek()/ftell(). long is 32 bits on Windows, so once a
database grows past 2 GiB the offset goes negative and fseek() fails;
the result is ignored, so pages land wherever the stream happens to be.
Past 4 GiB the offset wraps back to small positive values and the
writer overwrites the start of the file. The staging database stops
at exactly 4 GiB, is corrupt, and the run ends in persist_failed.

Route every seek/tell in the writer through 64-bit wrappers
(_fseeki64/_ftelli64 on Windows, fseeko/ftello elsewhere) and compute
offsets with a new cbm_writer_page_offset() helper that widens before
multiplying.

Fixes #2399

Subject: [PATCH 31/76] fix(watcher): inspect repository and cache paths as
 UTF-8

Use existing UTF-8 filesystem inspection for watcher roots, .git markers,
and cached graph databases. Preserve symlink following and distinguish
confirmed absence from unavailable inspection before pruning projects.

Cover an existing Unicode root with zero prune grace and capture the
blocked-git test environment through the existing UTF-8 runtime helper.

Split the independently applicable bug fix from the original certified
EmbeddingGemma 2 contribution without changing its file contents.

Subject: [PATCH 32/76] fix(doc-links): report references into a moved
 directory as missing (#2588)

A Markdown reference whose directory no longer exists counted as no
reference to the repository: no MENTIONS edge and no unresolved row. After
`git mv src/util src/helpers`, `src/util/rounding.py::clamp` simply
disappeared, so a moved or renamed directory left no trace of the stale
reference.

The doc-rot rule required the path's own parent directory to be a Folder.
It now also accepts any directory above it that the reference itself wrote:
`src` for `src/util/rounding.py` read from the root, or for
`../src/util/rounding.py` read from docs/. The directory a try is read from
(the document's directory, or what its leading `./` and `../` reach) does
not count, so a document's own directory never turns a foreign path into
doc rot. A path none of whose written directories exists (a file a tutorial
asks the reader to create in a new directory, a system path) stays no
reference, as before.

Test (tests/test_doc_links_md.c) indexes a document that references
src/util/rounding.py both from the root and relatively, moves src/util to
src/helpers, and re-indexes incrementally, requiring the same state as a
full index. Without the fix it fails on the defect: the reference has no
row ("" != "missing").

Subject: [PATCH 33/76] revert(extract): drop template-URL constant resolution
 now done by the URL fold

Since 77bc4927 (merged with #2513), the extractor folds a template URL
over a module string constant before the template flattener runs, so
fetch(`${BASE_URL}/v1/payments`) with a literal BASE_URL already yields
an HTTP_CALLS edge to the /v1/payments route (#2540). Resolving the
constant a second time inside cbm_template_string_text is no longer
needed, so the production part of this change is dropped and the
helper keeps its original signature.

The pipeline regression test from this PR stays: it fails on main
before #2513 (no HTTP_CALLS edge) and passes on current main.

Subject: [PATCH 34/76] test(mcp): give the #1115 store-switch coverage its own
 test

The store-switch regression for #1115 was added inside
tool_list_projects_tree_uses_one_stable_header_and_keeps_json_direct
and that test was renamed after it, so the name no longer said what
its seven list_projects shape assertions check.

Restore that test exactly as it is on main and move the switch loop
unchanged into tool_project_discovery_agrees_across_store_switches_issue1115
with its own twelve-project fixture. The new test also checks
list_projects before the switches, so it covers both the first-touch
index_status/query case and the before/after list agreement the issue
asked for.

Subject: [PATCH 35/76] fix(platform): cbm_env_dup answers through the settings
 resolver (#221)

Since this branch was written, main routes cbm_safe_getenv through a
startup settings resolver before it reads the process environment.
cbm_env_dup, its allocating sibling, read only the process environment, so
after the merge the two helpers could give different answers for the same
name.

Consult the resolver first, exactly as cbm_safe_getenv does: a handled
value is copied through the memory core, and a handled NULL masks the
variable. The resolver serves CBM_* settings today, so PATH lookups behave
as before; this keeps both helpers one view of the environment by
construction.

platform_env_dup_honours_the_settings_resolver pins the three cases:
resolved, masked, and falling through to the process environment.

Subject: [PATCH 36/76] test(cli): run the #221 long-PATH and Windows shim
 regressions in the cli suite

The two regressions sat in tests/repro/repro_issue221.c, which builds only
into the non-gating bug-repro runner, so CI could not stop the fix from
regressing. The Windows-only case also skipped on macOS and Linux, and
scripts/repro.sh reports any skipped case as an incomplete board.

Move both into tests/test_cli.c next to the other cbm_find_cli tests,
unchanged apart from their names: the cli suite runs on every CI leg, and
SKIP_PLATFORM is how that suite already marks Windows-only cases.
tests/repro/repro_issue221.c is back to its content on main.

Subject: [PATCH 37/76] revert(cypher): drop the early-WHERE deferral that
 #2253 superseded

The early WHERE pass in execute_single runs on seed rows where only the
first alias is bound, so a NOT on the target node or the relationship
pruned every row (#2250). This branch fixed that by skipping the early
pass until every alias the WHERE reads was bound.

While it waited for review, #2253 (8ab555ee) landed the same fix on
main as a three-valued early pass: an unbound alias is UNKNOWN, NOT
keeps it UNKNOWN, and only a definite FALSE prunes. This branch's
regression tests pass on main's production code unchanged, so restore
src/cypher/cypher.c to the branch's base and keep the tests; the merge
of main that follows takes main's implementation.

Subject: [PATCH 38/76] fix(cypher): the early WHERE pass waits for every alias
 a condition reads

eval_condition_partial (from #2253) answers UNKNOWN for a condition whose
alias is not bound yet, but it only looked at c->variable. A function
condition is filed under its first argument's alias, so in

    MATCH (a)-[:CALLS]->(b) WHERE coalesce(a.no_such_prop, b.name) = 'x'

the seed row saw a bound a, read coalesce(NULL, <unbound b>) as a
definite mismatch and pruned every row before CALLS expansion: zero rows,
while the same predicate after WITH returned the right ones.

Check every function argument's alias as well, the way this branch's
original fix did (condition_bindings_available), inside main's
three-valued leaf.

RED before: cypher_exec_where_func_arg_on_unbound_target, row_count 0,
expected 1. GREEN after; cypher suite 237 passed.

Subject: [PATCH 39/76] docs(cli): say what a warm daemon gives hooks in --help

Hooks never start a daemon. Without one they skip graph augmentation
and print a throttled notice that points at `daemon start`
(main_hook_report_absent_daemon), so a hook has no per-command daemon
start-up to skip. What a warm daemon gives hooks is the graph context
itself. Reword the second half of the daemon help entry to say that.

The CLI half stays: it matches the hint a one-shot CLI command prints
after it had to start a temporary daemon.

Subject: [PATCH 40/76] fix(lsp): grow the ts_lsp walk stacks with
 cbm_walk_stack_reserve

Follow-up to the review of #2091, on top of the contributor's change.

The three ts_lsp.c walks (infer_return_type_from_body,
rebuild_signatures_from_ast, convert_signature_type_params) now keep
their first 256 slots on the C stack, as the old fixed arrays did, and
grow on the heap through cbm_walk_stack_reserve / cbm_walk_stack_release
(#2375) instead of cutting TSNodeStack storage from ctx->arena:

- Scratch lifetime: ctx->arena in the per-file pass is the result
  arena, kept until the result cache is freed, and the return walk runs
  once per untyped top-level function. The heap chunk is now released
  when each walk ends.
- No silent drop: when the stack cannot grow, cbm_walk_stack_reserve
  logs extract.walk_stack_alloc_failed and the walk stops. The return
  walk then answers "unknown"; the signature walks leave the
  declarations not yet reached as extract_defs registered them.
- Traversal order: children are filled in cursor order (still one O(N)
  pass) and popped last-child first, exactly as main's walks did, so of
  several returns the later one is still tried first.
  tslsp_return_walk_order_prefers_later_return pins it; it fails under
  a first-child-first walk.

The TSNodeStack arena initializer in extract_node_stack.h is no longer
needed and is dropped, so that header is unchanged from main. The two
stack-cap tests now fail instead of passing when their buffer
allocation fails.

Subject: [PATCH 41/76] test(grammar): pin C# 14 extension block members in the
 regression net

Carry the csharp_extension_declaration case from #2218 into the
per-language grammar regression table: the #2071 snippet must yield
NumberExtensions and SumPositive, so a future refresh of
tree-sitter-c-sharp cannot silently drop extension block members
again. The label golden table needs a row for every regression case,
so the matching golden row from #2218 comes with it. The
expression-bodied member is wrapped across two lines.

Subject: [PATCH 42/76] fix(ui): allocate the framework-entry flags through the
 memory core

The framework_entry flag array in cbm_layout_from_nodes was allocated
with calloc and released with free on both exit paths. The
memory-core linter counts raw allocator sites per file and fails when
a file grows: src/ui/layout3d.c went from its baseline of 61 to 64.

The array is owned entirely by this function, so allocation and both
releases move together to the memory core: cbm_calloc and cbm_free
with CBM_MEM_CLASS_OTHER, the same pairing this function already uses
for out_calls. The route lookup's cbm_store_find_node_by_id result
stays released by cbm_node_free_fields, the store API's own pair.
src/ui/layout3d.c is back at 61 raw sites.

The edge loop now sits one level deeper inside the new
framework_entries_valid block, so it is re-indented to the house
clang-format style. src/ui/ is outside the CI clang-format check, so
this was done locally. Ignoring whitespace, the only changes are the
three allocator lines and three re-wrapped lines.

Subject: [PATCH 43/76] test(windows): pin the CRT aligned-block route of the
 aligned-free wrapper

__wrap__aligned_free hands a block mimalloc did not make back to the CRT.
A block from the CRT's _aligned_malloc starts past the CRT's bookkeeping
header, so its matching deallocator is _aligned_free; plain free receives
an interior pointer. This branch routes such blocks to
__real__aligned_free.

The new Windows-only mem test allocates through __real__aligned_malloc
(the CRT's own allocator under --wrap), asserts mimalloc does not own the
block, frees it through the wrapper by name, and checks errno and
HeapValidate on the process heap. Freeing the interior pointer with plain
free is a bad-free report under ASan; on an uninstrumented heap the free
fails with errno set or the process terminates.

Subject: [PATCH 44/76] fix(pipeline): emit and reconstruct route properties as
 valid JSON

An unchanged handler's Route is rebuilt from the route_path and
route_method stored on its Function. They were read with a quote scan:
an escaped quote or backslash cut the path short, and a nested, broken
or non-string value still named a Route. They are now decoded with
yyjson, and anything that is not a top-level string that fits names no
Route.

Every Route and HANDLES properties writer in pass_route_nodes.c now
escapes its values into a buffer that fits them: the rebuilt handler QN
was unescaped, a QN filling the 512-byte escape buffer left the closing
"} off the 512-byte properties, a method is source text where a DRF
@action names it, and the SvelteKit +server writer had both problems
in 256 bytes.

Tests: each of the five new infrascan tests fails on 4cf44147 without
this change.

Subject: [PATCH 45/76] test(contract): drop the language-count surfaces #2729
 stopped claiming

The #2729 messaging refresh removed the language count from docs/index.html, docs/llms.txt, pkg/npm/README.md, scripts/package-release.sh and server.json, so Step 0w (tests/test_language_count_contract.sh) failed on main for every PR: each of those files was still registered as a surface but stated no count. They leave SURFACES; README.md and the Chocolatey nuspec still carry the count and stay gated. Section 4 still fails if any dropped file states a count again without being registered (checked by re-adding one).

Subject: [PATCH 48/76] fix(pipeline): keep route properties that are not UTF-8

Review follow-up to the previous commit. Properties hold source text
as its bytes, so a Latin-1 docstring stored beside route_path is not
UTF-8. The strict yyjson parse rejected that whole object, so the
route pass skipped rebuilding the handler's Route, where the old quote
scan had rebuilt it. Parse with YYJSON_READ_ALLOW_INVALID_UNICODE, as
internal/cbm/diagram.c does.

Test: infrascan_decorator_route_metadata_survives_invalid_utf8 fails
with the strict parse, and passes with this change and on 4cf44147.

A repository indexed with `cli index_repository`, or indexed from a session rooted somewhere else, is not watched; re-run `index_repository` after changing it. `index_status` reports this in its `watch` object: `watched`, and either the poll cadence and last scan time or the `reason` it is not watched.
+Each initialized, long-lived MCP session can register its root project when it connects and any target from a successful `index_repository` call, including custom project names and roots in another worktree. While `auto_watch` is enabled, these watches belong to the registering sessions and remain while at least one owning session is connected; closing the last owner removes the watch. An async index registers its target only after success and while its requesting session remains connected. CLI indexing and failed MCP indexes do not register watches. Global `auto_watch` controls registration and removes all watches on the next refresh or registration request when set to `false`. `index_status` reports this in its `watch` object: `watched`, and either the poll cadence and last scan time or the `reason` it is not watched.
 
-Watcher registration is controlled separately by `auto_watch` (default `true`). Set `config set auto_watch false` to keep a session from registering its project with the background watcher; useful when working across many projects and you want each session contained to explicit indexing.

-To turn the watcher off entirely, set `config set watcher_enabled false` (default `true`): the background poll thread never starts and no project is registered, while `auto_index` and manual `index_repository` keep working. Unlike `auto_watch`, which is consulted per session, `watcher_enabled` is read once when the background daemon starts, so run `codebase-memory-mcp daemon stop` after changing it; reconnecting your MCP client alone will not restart the daemon.

Set `true` or `false` to choose for every mode; `config reset doc_candidates` returns to `auto`. The scoring grows with sections × functions: under a second up to ~100k functions, ~15 s at ~400k, ~3 minutes on the Linux kernel. Off stores no candidates and leaves the rest of the graph unchanged; on in `fast` mode stores candidates without adding `fast`'s skipped `SIMILAR_TO` / `SEMANTICALLY_RELATED` edges. `index_repository` also takes `doc_candidates` for a single index, which wins over this setting. Applies from the next index. |
-| `watcher_enabled` | `true` | Master switch for the background watcher subsystem. Set `false` to stop the watcher from starting at all — no poll thread and no project registration. Reindex manually with `index_repository` when disabled. Only an open MCP session's own project is ever watched; `index_status` reports the current state in its `watch` object. |
+| `watcher_enabled` | `true` | Master switch for the background watcher subsystem. Set `false` to stop the watcher from starting at all — no poll thread and no project registration. Reindex manually with `index_repository` when disabled. Active MCP sessions can register their root project and successful explicit index targets; `index_status` reports the current state in its `watch` object. |
 | `watch_non_git` | `false` | Also poll project roots that are **not git repositories**. By default the watcher only follows git projects, so a project indexed from a plain directory is never refreshed after its first index — reindex it manually with `index_repository`. Set `true` to poll such roots on the same adaptive cadence with a file-tree scan: the indexer's own discovery walk (same skip lists, `.gitignore` and `.cbmignore` rules) hashed over each file's path, size and mtime. Any change reindexes once; paths the indexer skips (including cbm's own `.codebase-memory/` output) never trigger. The first poll after the daemon starts reindexes each such project once, since nothing records which tree state the index holds. The scan walks the whole tree every poll, so it costs more than git polling on very large trees. Read once when the daemon starts, like `watcher_enabled`. |

->   a change applies to sessions that connect afterwards.

Subject: [PATCH 54/76] fix: preserve watcher roots and refresh options

Match canonical Windows separators across watch ownership and admission,
drain all session watches when auto_watch is disabled, and retain the
resolved doc_candidates choice for later refreshes. Add deterministic
regressions for the five observed failures and an absent-option guard.

Subject: [PATCH 55/76] fix: preserve literal input and static asset boundaries

Escape project names before building hand-test patterns, compare transport
identifiers as literal tokens, preserve boundaries when extracting prose
and XML facts, and require canonical containment for smoke static assets.
Add regression coverage for metacharacters, dollar identifiers, markup
joining, traversal, symlinks, and malformed URL encoding.

Subject: [PATCH 59/76] fix(discover): keep JVM packages named like build
 output dirs (#2661)

Below src/<set>/{java,kotlin,scala,groovy}/ every directory is a package,
so a built-in skip name there (target, tmp, vendor, deploy, env, dist...)
is a package name, not build output. Discovery and the inventory filter
now keep such directories; the root itself, its siblings and the safety
core (.git, worktrees) stay skipped.

(integration/) is kept in moderate mode, while a top-level integration/
stays skipped.

Subject: [PATCH 63/76] fix(cypher): return one row for an ungrouped aggregate
 over empty input

A RETURN made only of aggregates is one group over the whole input, so it
answers exactly one row. The RETURN aggregation sink emitted one row per
group it had seen, and when MATCH/WHERE produced no bindings it had seen
none: `MATCH (f:Function) WHERE f.name = "nope" RETURN count(*) AS total`
answered no rows instead of total = 0.

ret_sink_finish now emits that row when no group was created and every
RETURN item is an aggregate: count and sum are 0, collect is [], and
avg/min/max are null (""). A grouped aggregation over empty input still
returns no rows, and the row goes through the usual DISTINCT / ORDER BY /
SKIP / LIMIT post-pass.

Fixes #2742

Subject: [PATCH 65/76] fix(daemon): log the effective auto_index_limit in
 daemon.autoindex.skipped

When daemon-backed auto-indexing refuses a repository, the
daemon.autoindex.skipped warning reported the tracked-file count but not
the limit that caused the refusal. The MCP autoindex.skip event already
carries limit=<n> (#1466); add the same field to the daemon warning,
using the auto_index_limit value the admission check already used.
Admission behavior is unchanged.

daemon_application_auto_index_honors_tracked_file_limit now captures the
warning through a log sink and asserts reason=too_many_files, files=1 and
limit=0 as whole fields.

Fixes #1818

Subject: [PATCH 66/76] feat(cli): give Codex shell searches graph context
 through a PreToolUse hook

Codex runs its hooks with the same contract as Claude Code: its shell tool is
named Bash, tool_input.command is a string, and PreToolUse hookSpecificOutput
additionalContext reaches the model (openai/codex hooks/src/events/
pre_tool_use.rs, core/src/hook_runtime.rs). Codex only had the SessionStart and
SubagentStart reminders (#330), so its grep and rg calls never got the graph
context Claude Code's searches get (#715).

- config.toml: the managed block adds [[hooks.PreToolUse]] matcher = "Bash"
  running the same hook-augment command. The previous block (lifecycle pair
  only, as installs up to v0.12 wrote it) stays recognized as owned, so an
  upgrade replaces it in place and uninstall removes either generation.
- Inline forms (#1432): Codex's inline rewrite of our PreToolUse is replaced.
  A user's own inline hooks.PreToolUse is kept and our block then leaves
  PreToolUse out, because TOML cannot hold an inline array and array-of-tables
  entries for the same key; install says so instead of failing.
- hooks.json: the Codex-only PreToolUse Bash entry is added and removed next to
  the lifecycle pair, touching only the entry whose command is ours.

Codex asks users to re-trust changed hook definitions (/hooks).

Refs #715, #509

Subject: [PATCH 67/76] test(config): a v0.10.2 Codex block now upgrades in
 place to the PreToolUse block

config_toml_codex_accepts_v0102_managed_windows_crlf asserted that re-upserting
over the v0.10.2 lifecycle-only block left the file byte-identical. That block
is now the previous generation: the upsert accepts it as owned and upgrades it
in place. The test now pins that upgrade (one PreToolUse table, BOM, CRLF and
the surrounding tables kept) and that a second upsert is byte-identical.

Refs #715

Subject: [PATCH 68/76] fix(ci): post the PR acknowledgement without its hidden
 maintainer note

The template opens with an HTML-comment note for maintainers, and the
workflow posted the file verbatim, so every acknowledgement comment
carried text a contributor cannot see but a tool reads. Our own PR
screening holds every comment with such hidden text, which parked nine
contributor PRs on a note we wrote ourselves.

Strip HTML comments (an unterminated one runs to the end, as GitHub
renders it) into a temporary body file and post that. The posted text is
byte-identical to what rendered before. A template whose only content is
the note now counts as blank, which is the documented off switch.

 - **mojo** (added 2026-07-01): vendored from [lsh/tree-sitter-mojo](https://github.com/lsh/tree-sitter-mojo) @ `33193a99afe6` — MIT, ABI 15. Helix tracks `lsh/tree-sitter-mojo` as its Mojo grammar source, but the Helix-pinned commit (`3d7c53b8038f`) no longer resolves in the upstream repository after a force-push, so this vendor uses current upstream `main` rather than the stale registry SHA. Security review covered only the vendored C surface (`parser.c`, `scanner.c`, `tree_sitter/*.h`) plus upstream license/provenance metadata; no package manager hooks, workflow files, prompt/agent instruction files, or generated lockfiles were vendored.
 - **arkts** (added 2026-08-26): **first-party derivative** — a fork of [tree-sitter/tree-sitter-typescript](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-typescript)'s `typescript` dialect pinned @ `75b3874edb2d` (v0.23.2, the same commit our vendored typescript/tsx come from), on the tree-sitter-javascript base @ `3a837b6f3658` (v0.23.1, the version upstream's own package-lock pins), extended with ArkTS/ArkUI syntax (`@Component struct` declarations, UI-DSL trailing-closure calls with post-block attribute chains, decorated function declarations, `import lazy`, `@Extend`/`@Styles` leading-dot attribute chains, anonymous `stateStyles` style blocks). Grammar source + corpus tests live in `tools/tree-sitter-arkts/`; regenerate with `npx tree-sitter-cli@0.25.10 generate` (ABI 15). **External scanner:** `scanner.c` is a symbol-rename trampoline; `_common_scanner.h` is byte-identical (same SHA-256) to the reviewed `typescript/_common_scanner.h` already shipped. **LICENSE:** tree-sitter-typescript's MIT text **verbatim and byte-identical** (© 2017 Max Brunsfeld) — which is what MIT requires of a derivative work, and what lets the provenance audit byte-verify it against upstream rather than take a note on trust. The fork is registered in the audit's `FORKS` map. Our own copyright for the ArkTS additions, and the tree-sitter-javascript attribution (© 2014 Max Brunsfeld), live with the SOURCE in `tools/tree-sitter-arkts/grammar.js` and in `THIRD_PARTY.md`, which is what ships in the release archives.
 - **javascript + tsx** (forked 2026-09-25, #1736): **self-maintained forks** of the pins we already vendored — [tree-sitter/tree-sitter-javascript](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-javascript) @ `58404d8cf191` and [tree-sitter/tree-sitter-typescript](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-typescript)'s `tsx` dialect @ `75b3874edb2d` (javascript base @ `3a837b6f3658`, the version upstream's package-lock pins, as for arkts). **Why:** upstream accepts a `&` inside a JSX string only before a space/digit or as a complete character reference, and never inside JSX text, so a plain URL query (`href="…?a=1&b=2"`, Google Fonts `&display=swap`) or `<p>Tom & Jerry</p>` produced an ERROR node — a `parse_partial` flag, plus false USAGE edges from identifiers the error recovery pulled out of the URL (on vercel/next.js `examples/`: 45 of 92 flagged files, 115 false cross-example USAGE edges). **The change** is one patch, `tools/tree-sitter-javascript/patches/jsx-lone-ampersand.patch`, applied to both javascript bases: a lone `&` that does not begin a complete `html_character_reference` is a one-character token (lexical precedence -1, so `&amp;`/`&#38;` still lex as references) aliased to the EXISTING `string_fragment` / `jsx_text` nodes, and the string-fragment regexes stop before a `&` that directly precedes the closing quote. Node types are unchanged (same type/named set; `node-types.json` only gains an empty `fields` map on those two entries). Without the patch both directories regenerate upstream exactly (javascript: byte-identical `parser.c` apart from the generator-version comment; tsx: identical state/symbol counts, ABI 14 → 15 from the newer CLI). **External scanners** are unchanged: `javascript/scanner.c` and `tsx/scanner.c` + `_common_scanner.h` stay the reviewed upstream bytes. Regenerate with `npx tree-sitter-cli@0.25.10 generate` in `tools/tree-sitter-{javascript,tsx}/` (ABI 15) and copy `src/parser.c` (tsx: also `src/tree_sitter/*.h`) here. **On an upstream bump:** re-fetch the new pins, re-apply the patch, regenerate, re-run `test/corpus/jsx_ampersand.txt` — and drop the fork if upstream fixes it. **LICENSE:** upstream's MIT text byte-identical (registered in the audit's `FORKS` map); our copyright for the patch lives in the fork `grammar.js` headers and `THIRD_PARTY.md`.

Subject: [PATCH 70/76] feat(cli): give Copilot searches graph context through
 a PostToolUse hook

Copilot CLI's preToolUse output can only decide permissions, and its command
hooks fail closed on errors, so the graph context that Claude Code and Codex
searches get could not ride a pre-tool hook there. postToolUse
additionalContext is appended to the tool result the model sees on the same
turn (github/docs content/copilot/reference/hooks-reference.md). VS Code's
agent mode shares the Copilot harness and reads the same ~/.copilot/hooks
manifest.

- Manifest: $COPILOT_HOME/hooks/codebase-memory-mcp.json adds a PascalCase
  PostToolUse entry, matcher "Bash|Grep|Glob|bash|powershell|grep|rg|glob",
  running hook-augment --event PostToolUse --dialect copilot. The previous
  lifecycle-only manifest, as installs up to v0.12 wrote it, stays recognized
  as owned: install upgrades it in place and uninstall removes either
  generation. A foreign manifest still fails closed.
- hook-augment: the Copilot dialect reads either payload form
  (tool_name/tool_input or toolName/toolArgs), maps runtime tool names to the
  Claude names (bash/powershell to Bash, grep/rg to Grep, glob to Glob),
  parses arguments passed as a JSON string, and answers with top-level
  additionalContext.
- Fast path: Copilot's forced PostToolUse goes through the no-op gate before
  executable-identity hashing. The gate also skips tools the augmenter does
  not read, because VS Code's local hook parser ignores matchers, so a
  non-search shell call or an edit exits in about 20 ms instead of paying the
  full round-trip of about 130 ms.
- The context header no longer says the search results are "below": after a
  post-tool hook they are above it.
- Tests: the three Copilot foreign-manifest tests now create
  .copilot/mcp-config.json. Without it Copilot CLI was never detected, so
  install and uninstall never reached the manifest, and the tests also passed
  with the ownership checks removed.

Subject: [PATCH 71/76] docs(readme): name the Codex PreToolUse and Copilot
 PostToolUse search hooks

The Codex CLI row still listed only SessionStart and SubagentStart after the
PreToolUse Bash hook landed (#2719), and the hook section described only
Claude Code's search context. The row now names the Codex search hook, and the
section says how Codex, Copilot CLI and VS Code's Copilot runtime get search
context.

Subject: [PATCH 72/76] fix(cli): render the Copilot manifest through the
 memory core

The PostToolUse change rendered the manifest twice per install and uninstall
(current and previous generation) and freed both with free(), which grew the
raw allocator count in src/cli/cli.c past its baseline (lint-memory-core).
The manifest is now written with cbm_json_writer_allocator() and released with
cbm_free(CBM_MEM_CLASS_OTHER, ...), including the frees that predate the
change, so cli.c drops from 170 to 166 raw sites and its baseline is lowered
to match. The rendered bytes are unchanged, so byte-exact ownership of
manifests written by earlier installs still holds.

Subject: [PATCH 75/76] test(doc-links): move JVM not_indexed fixtures to a
 skipped layout (#2661)

The Java and Kotlin doc-link reason tests modelled "a package in a
directory discovery skips" with src/main/java/a/env/ and
src/main/kotlin/k/env/. Discovery now keeps packages below
src/<set>/<lang>/, so those files are indexed and the two not_indexed
assertions failed. Move both fixtures to a plain src/<pkg>/ layout,
which discovery still skips by name (the open part of #2661), and
reword the comments. Assertions unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 76/76] fix(mcp): keep request timing, defer protocol behaviour
 changes

Split the PR along the line the review asked for. The request timing and
transport fields stay: every mcp.request log line carries
handler_duration_ms, response_serialization_ms, cancelled and timed_out,
and a search that reaches its deadline logs status=timeout.

The behaviour changes go back to the base text and need a separate
maintainer decision: stricter jsonrpc/id parsing, dropping "result":null,
NULL returns from the response formatters, leaving the stdio loop on a
missing response or an input/output failure, the removed blocking-poll
fallback, the HTTP 500 path, the daemon session end on a missing response,
and the update-notice warning. Their tests go with them. The list_projects
sort guard is dropped as well (main has the same fix).

cbm_mcp_server_handle formats its three responses with
cbm_jsonrpc_format_response directly; a NULL reply still marks the request
as an error. The cbm_log_mcp_request checks in tests/test_log.c are back
with the new signature, plus checks for the new fields and for
status=timeout. clang-format on the new lines.
