From 2777bb8dae396b46d7ec01ea93a188dbc4bc2c3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colby McHenry Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 02:28:19 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/14] feat(go): generated-file down-rank + gRPC stub-impl bridge + trace-failure inlining MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Multi-pronged fix to make codegraph competitive on Go multi-module repos (cosmos-sdk, etcd) where it previously lost or tied. Driven by an 8-question agent-eval audit across cobra, gin, prometheus, cosmos-sdk, and etcd: the baseline had codegraph losing ~60% on cost on cosmos-sdk and mixed on etcd deep cross-module flows, while winning cleanly on the single-module and non-protobuf-heavy repos. Diagnostics ruled OUT `go.work` parsing as the gap (prometheus crushes without it). The actual failure modes were generated-file noise warping disambiguation, missing gRPC interface→impl bridge in structural-typing Go, and trace's failure path triggering 3-5 follow-up tool calls instead of inlining the material the agent needed. Changes: - New `src/extraction/generated-detection.ts` — path-pattern classifier for `.pb.go`, `.pulsar.go`, `_grpc.pb.go`, `_mock.go`, `_mocks.go`, `mock_*.go`, `.generated.[jt]sx?`, `_pb2(_grpc)?.py`, `.pb.{cc,h}`, `.g.dart`, `.freezed.dart`. Applied as a stable sort tiebreaker in `findSymbol`, `findAllSymbols`, `codegraph_search` (MCP + CLI), `codegraph_explore` file ranking, and context formatter Entry Points / Related Symbols / Code blocks. Cosmos's `msgServer.Send` now ranks #3 instead of #9 on a `Send` search. - New `goGrpcStubImplEdges` synthesizer in `callback-synthesizer.ts` — detects `UnimplementedXxxServer` structs in generated files, identifies their RPC methods (excluding `mustEmbed*` / `testEmbeddedByValue` gRPC markers), and emits `calls` edges to the matching methods on any non-generated struct whose method-name set is a superset. Closes Go's structural-typing gap that the existing `interfaceOverrideEdges` (Java / Kotlin only) couldn't bridge. 467 bridge edges on cosmos-sdk; bank's `UnimplementedMsgServer::Send` points to `x/bank/keeper/msg_server.go` only, not to `msgClient` siblings or mock files. - Trace-failure rewrite (`handleTrace`) — when no static path connects endpoints, instead of telling the agent to call `codegraph_node` (a 3-4-call fan-out), inline both endpoints' bodies (120 lines / 3600 chars per endpoint), their callers (≤6), and callees (≤8) in one response. - Trace endpoint-pairing improvements — scores every `from`×`to` candidate combo by shared directory prefix and tries the best-paired pair first (the full candidate set, not just FTS top-5). A less-canonical-path penalty (`enterprise/`, `contrib/`, `examples/`, `vendor/`, `third_party/`, `deprecated/`, `legacy/`) ensures the canonical-module pair wins even when a side-experiment shares more of its directory prefix. Find-path probe budget capped at 20 pairs. - Test-file deprioritization in `codegraph_explore` `isLowValue` — adds suffix patterns (`_test.go`, `_spec.rb`, `.test.ts`, `.spec.tsx`, `Test.java`, `Spec.kt`) alongside the existing directory-style patterns. Otherwise etcd's `watchable_store_test.go` consumes 5K chars of explore budget that should go to the hand-written flow source. Tests: - New `__tests__/generated-detection.test.ts` (4 unit tests) pins the suffix patterns. - New "Go gRPC stub→impl synthesis" integration test suite in `frameworks-integration.test.ts` (2 tests): positive bridge from stub to hand-written impl, AND the precision case (don't bridge to a generated sibling like `msgClient` in the same .pb.go). - Full suite: 1076/1076 pass. Empirical (post-fix, n=2 average per question): | Repo / Q | WITH | WITHOUT | Reads (W/WO) | Time (W/WO) |-------------------------|------------|-------------|--------------|------------ | cobra (parse cmds) | $0.27 | $0.27 | 0 / 4 | 39s / 60s | prometheus (scrape→TSDB)| $0.63 | $0.70 | 0 / 6 | 106s/143s | cosmos-sdk Q1 (MsgSend) | $0.41 | $0.26 | 1 / 2 | 67s / 64s | cosmos-sdk Q2 (Delegate)| $0.47 | $0.46 | 0 / 5 | 50s / 73s | cosmos-sdk Q3 (gov tally)| $0.34 | $0.31 | 1.5 / 3 | 54s / 76s | etcd Q1 (Put→raft) | $0.65 | $0.78 | 0 / 4 | 98s / 129s | etcd Q2 (watch) | $0.36 | $0.50 | 0 / 4+ | 58s / 89s Codegraph wins on reads + time on every question. Cost is mixed: 3 clean wins, 3 tied (within 10%), 1 stubborn cost loss on the grep-favored Q1. Compared to baseline, the cosmos-sdk cost-gap collapsed from -60% to -15% on average, and Q3 went from a 75% loss to a tie. Raw run artifacts in `/tmp/cg-finalv2-*/` and `/tmp/cg-final-*/`.

The static getCallees list for msgServer.Send is all utility/error functions (StringToBytes, Wrapf, …). The actual flow (SendCoins → subUnlockedCoins → addCoins → setBalance) lives entirely inside `x/bank/keeper/send.go`, which is also where the TO endpoint (setBalance) lives. When trace fails (no static path), inline the **top 5 functions/methods in the destination file**, ordered by line-distance from the TO node. This catches the flow that interface-method calls obscure — the canonical "k.." pattern in Go, also relevant to Java dependency-injection / Rails service-object dispatch / etc. where interface dispatch hides the real call. Conservative: only fires on trace FAILURE (no static path); the success path is unchanged. Per-body cap (40 lines / 1200 chars), top 5 siblings. Bookkeeps with `inlinedBodies` Set so endpoints already shown above aren't duplicated. Result: cosmos-Q1 — historically the most stubborn cost loss (-2.2× to -39% across the audit) — flipped to a clean WIN: $0.257 WITH vs $0.449 WITHOUT (-43%), 34s vs 79s, 0 Reads vs 2 Reads + 5 Greps, 5 codegraph calls vs 12.

Extend each axis to every language CodeGraph supports per the README, so the same improvements help Java / C# / Python / TS / Swift / Dart projects too. **generated-detection.ts** — Added patterns for: - TS/JS: `.gen.[jt]sx?`, `.pb.[jt]s`, `_pb.[jt]s`, `_grpc_pb.[jt]s` (ts-proto, gRPC-web, Apollo / GraphQL codegen, Hasura). - Python: `_pb2.pyi` (mypy stubs from protobuf). - C#: `.g.cs` (T4 / Razor codegen), `Grpc.cs` (protoc-gen-csharp). - Java: `OuterClass.java` (protoc-gen-java), `Grpc.java` (protoc-gen-grpc-java; this is where the `*ImplBase` abstract class lives — same shape as the Go `Unimplemented*Server` stub). - Swift: `.pb.swift` (protoc-gen-swift). - Dart: `.pb.dart`, `.pbgrpc.dart`, `.chopper.dart`. - Rust: `.generated.rs`. **test-file deprioritization** (`isLowValue` in `codegraph_explore`) — Added per-language conventions that the previous regex missed: - Python: `test_*.py` (pytest discovery) and `*_test.py`. - Ruby: `*_test.rb` (minitest) — `*_spec.rb` already covered. - C#: `*Tests.cs`, `*Test.cs`, `*Spec.cs`. - Swift: `*Tests.swift` (XCTest). - Dart: `*_test.dart`. **IFACE_OVERRIDE_LANGS** in `callback-synthesizer.ts`'s `interfaceOverrideEdges` — extended from `java, kotlin` to `java, kotlin, csharp, typescript, javascript, swift, scala`. Same shape across these (nominal `implements`/`extends` on a class to an interface/abstract base). Also iterates `struct` (Swift value types conforming to a protocol) in addition to `class`. The existing matchesSymbol-style logic and `getOutgoingEdges(..., ['implements', 'extends'])` work unchanged. **CLAUDE.md** — Added a House rule: when the user references issues or comments, anchor them to a date and version (last release vs. last main commit vs. current branch tip) BEFORE concluding a fix is incomplete. Issue #388 comments from May 25-27 were responding to the released v0.9.5 / merged-PR-469 state — not to this branch's in-flight work. The new rule walks through the disambiguation: `grep -m1 '^## \[' CHANGELOG.md` for release version, `git log --first-parent main -1` for main tip.

The verbose marketing prose on codegraph_context / codegraph_node / codegraph_explore / codegraph_trace / etc. wasn't moving the agent toward better tool choices on top of the actual usage, but it was adding ~525 tokens of cache-creation overhead to every question. The trimmed descriptions keep the operational hints (e.g. "Query is a bag of symbol/file names, not a question" for explore) but drop the redundant prose. 2. **Dynamic tiny-repo tool gating** in `ToolHandler.getTools()`. On a project with < 150 indexed files, the MCP server only exposes the 5 core tools (search, context, node, explore, trace) instead of all 10 — the omitted callers/callees/impact/status/files tools' use cases on a sub-150-file repo reduce to one grep anyway. The MCP tool-defs overhead is the #1 source of cost loss on tiny repos (~$0.10-0.15 fixed cache-creation per question); cutting 5 tools drops that by ~50%. Effect on ky (~25 files, the worst pre-fix offender): - Before: $0.59 WITH vs $0.42 WITHOUT (+42% loss, n=1) - After: $0.32 WITH vs $0.44 WITHOUT (-26%, **flipped to WIN**) Effect on cobra/sinatra/slim (50-80 files): still cost-loss, but the gating doesn't regress them — same call-count, same reads. The structural lower bound on those repos is what the agent's grep+read path costs in absolute terms (~$0.20-0.30). Non-breaking for medium+/large repos: all 10 tools remain exposed when fileCount >= 150.

All it really needs is explore, and trace if you ask me." +- **Claude:** Recognized this is a design pivot, not a continuation of the cost-gap iteration.

The agent gets the canonical routing answer in ONE codegraph_context call — no need to parse framework DSL, Glob for controllers, or chase down handler files. The lever is "make the backend smarter so the agent doesn't have to": - Parsing routes.rb / routes/api.php / urls.py DSL is the agent's job in the WITHOUT arm. Codegraph already has it parsed as `route` nodes with edges to handlers — we just project that to a manifest table. - The handler implementations are right there in the index too; inline the highest-handler-count file so the agent sees real code, not just symbol names.

That's an agent-side ceiling the backend can't reach further without removing tools.

It was fire-and-forget — so a tool call landing in the first ~50-300ms could race past it and serve rows for files that no longer exist on disk. The per-file staleness banner can't help here, because that signal is populated by the file watcher (not by catch-up). The fix: `catchUpSync()` now pushes its promise into `ToolHandler` via `setCatchUpGate(p)`; the first `execute()` call awaits the gate and then clears it. Subsequent calls pay nothing. Catch-up rejections are logged by the engine and swallowed by the handler so a transient sync failure never breaks tools. Most visible on the "deleted everything between sessions" case, where MCP previously returned stale rows pointing at non-existent files. Validated end-to-end on a 10,640-file VS Code index: with the gate, a codegraph_search for "ExtensionHost" against an empty (but stale-DB) directory returns "No results found" after the catch-up drains the DB; without the gate, the same call returns 10 stale hits.

Without this, etcd's `watchable_store_test.go` consumed 5K chars of explore budget that should have gone to the hand-written flow source. +- **Small-repo retrieval tuning (`<500` indexed files).** Three coordinated + changes so small projects resolve flow questions in 1-2 MCP calls instead + of 3-5. (i) MCP tool surface drops to the 5 core tools + (`codegraph_search` / `codegraph_context` / `codegraph_node` / + `codegraph_explore` / `codegraph_trace`); the other 5 (`codegraph_callers` + /`codegraph_callees`/`codegraph_impact`/`codegraph_status`/`codegraph_files`) + cost more in tool-list overhead than they recoup at this scale. + Empirically validated as the floor — n=2 audits showed cutting below + 5 regresses cobra/ky/sinatra (3-tool gate) and catastrophically regresses + express (1-tool gate, +107% LOSS). (ii) `codegraph_context` responses end + with a strong directive telling the agent the response IS the + comprehensive pass for a project this size and follow-ups should be + narrow (`trace from→to`, single-symbol `node`) — not another broad + `codegraph_explore` that re-bundles the same content. (iii) Explore + output budget gets a sub-150 tier (13K total / 4 files / 3.8K each, + Relationships section dropped, test/spec/icon/i18n files hard-excluded + from the relevant-file set unless the query is about tests), and + `codegraph_context` `maxNodes` defaults to 8 instead of 20. +- **`codegraph_context` auto-traces flow queries.** When the task reads + like "how does X reach Y", "trace the path from A to B", or "how does + X propagate through Z", `codegraph_context` now runs the trace + internally and splices its body into the response. Detection is + conservative — needs a flow keyword AND ≥2 distinct PascalCase / + camelCase identifiers, with the first two ordered by appearance taken + as `from`/`to`. On dynamic-dispatch breaks it falls back to the + trace-failure response (which already inlines both endpoint bodies + + neighbors). Saves the follow-up `codegraph_trace` that was the #2 + cost driver on multi-module flow questions in the audit. +- **Routing-manifest inline in `codegraph_context` for small-repo + routing queries.** When the task mentions + routes/handlers/endpoints/middleware/etc. on a sub-500-file project, + `codegraph_context` now appends a compact URL → handler table built + from `route` nodes + their `references`/`calls` edges, then inlines + the full source (≤16KB) of the file holding the most handler + endpoints. Targets the Glob+Read pattern that was beating codegraph + on realworld template repos (rails-realworld, laravel-realworld, + drupal-admintoolbar, …) where the agent would just read `routes.rb` / + `web.php` instead of asking the graph. Manifest is silently skipped + when fewer than 3 non-test routes exist or no file holds ≥30% of + them (no single answer file). +- **Core-directory ranking boost in `codegraph_context` search.** + Projects with one file holding the dense majority of internal call + edges (e.g. sinatra's `lib/sinatra/base.rb` at ~85% of all in-file + edges) now get search results in that file's directory boosted by + +25 score. Fixes the case where a small extension file with a + verbatim name match outranks the actual framework core + (sinatra-contrib's `multi_route.rb` `route` was outranking + base.rb's `route!`). Test and generated files are excluded from + "dominant file" candidacy so etcd's `rpc.pb.go` (1916 in-file + edges, generated protobuf) can't beat the hand-written + `server/etcdserver/server.go` (470 edges). +- **Interface → implementation synthesis extended beyond JVM.** + `interfaceOverrideEdges` previously bridged interface methods to + concrete impls in Java/Kotlin only. Now also runs for C#, TypeScript, + JavaScript, Swift, and Scala — Swift conformance also iterates + `struct` nodes (value-type protocol conformance) alongside `class`. + Closes the same structural-typing gap the new Go gRPC bridge closes, + for any language where the resolver emits explicit + `implements`/`extends` edges. +- **Shorter MCP tool descriptions.** All 10 `codegraph_*` tool + descriptions condensed (typically ~50% shorter), keeping the + "use this for X / prefer over Y" steering but dropping the longer + rationale (which lives in `server-instructions.ts`, the + load-bearing channel). Tool-list bytes on the agent side drop + proportionally; cumulative across multi-tool sessions. - **Java / Kotlin imports now resolve by fully-qualified name.** Extraction wraps every top-level declaration of a `.kt` / `.java` file in a `namespace` node carrying the file's `package` (so a class `Bar` in
