Previous behavior: scan_pattern_nodes() limited unlabeled candidates to max_rows * 10 before WHERE evaluation; execute_return_simple() projected max_rows bindings before ORDER BY; and an explicit Cypher LIMIT could bypass max_rows. An exact named-function lookup beyond the seed prefix returned zero rows, while a descending order query ranked only the prefix.
Push mandatory, non-negated file_path CONTAINS conjuncts into SQLite with literal instr() semantics, while retaining the full C evaluator as semantic authority. Restrict bounded initial scans to prefix-preserving query shapes; predicates, relationships, aggregation, DISTINCT, ORDER BY, SKIP, and later stages evaluate the complete eligible set after exact SQL reduction.
Make max_rows and query_max_rows authoritative result ceilings: Cypher LIMIT may lower but not bypass them. Align the shared MCP definition and CLI config registry so streamlined, classic, and CLI surfaces describe the same contract.
TDD covers a 65-node exact lookup beyond the former 50-node prefix, global ORDER BY selection, unsafe OR pushdown exclusion, literal percent/underscore CONTAINS behavior, configured cap enforcement, and streamlined/classic schema parity. Verification: 531 Cypher/companion and 612 MCP/schema/companion ASan/UBSan tests passed.
Retained optimized large-graph validation passed graph and quality gates: query_graph 2.367 ms, exact incremental indexing 363 ms at 71 MB peak, full indexing 6494 ms at 1332 MB peak, and 17.89x full-over-incremental speedup. The benchmark artifact remains untracked.
