Loom v0.4.0

Loom v0.4 — radical rewrite

Loom returns to the Karpathy LLM Wiki pattern: the files in your folder are the truth, SQLite is just an accelerator index.

What changed

• 1 LLM call per query (down from 4: expand → BM25 → rerank → synthesize)
• 1 LLM call per file at scan time — summary + keywords as JSON
• 1 SQLite table (files + FTS5 mirror) down from 10 tables
• CLI: 3 commands only — init, scan, ask
• GUI: 2-panel layout — NoteList + ChatPanel, no more Lint/NoteView/StatusBar panels
• MCP server: 5 focused tools (loom.ask, loom.search, loom.scan, loom.list_files, loom.get_file)
• PDF: best-effort extraction, optional OCR via TESSERACT_LANGS env var, no cache complexity
• ~7000 LOC removed

Binaries

Note: The Wails GUI (Loom.app) requires a local build — cd cmd/loom-gui && wails build.

Quick start

# drop files into ~/loom/
loom scan
loom ask "what did I write about project X?"
