[v1.5.0] — 2026-08-23

🌟 Overview & Highlights

LOCUS Engine v1.5.0 represents a major architectural leap forward, introducing Multi-Agent Swarm Governance, Cross-Boundary Taint Analysis, Pure-Rust In-Memory HNSW Semantic Indexing, WebAssembly (WASM) Compatibility, Incremental CST Re-Parsing, 20 Deterministic AST Invariants, Deterministic Self-Healing, and Multi-File ACID Workspace Transactions in 100% Safe Rust (#![forbid(unsafe_code)], zero C-FFI runtime bottlenecks).


📦 Phase 1.5-A Deliverables

  1. Incremental CST Parser & AST Query Engine (src/parser/):

    • IncrementalParser: In-memory delta AST cache tracking byte spans and FNV-1a node digests across polyglot targets (Rust, TS/JS, TSX/JSX, Svelte, Astro, Vue, Python).
    • Node-level updates execute in < 5 µs without full-file rescans.
    • AstQueryEngine: Sub-millisecond S-Expression AST pattern matcher supporting (call_expression), (jsx_element), and (member_access).
  2. 20 Deterministic AST Safety Invariants (src/guard/):

    • Expanded safety invariants from 11 to 20 formal rules:
      • Rule 12: SqlInjection — Rejects unparameterized string interpolation in SQL queries.
      • Rule 13: FloatingPromise — Detects unhandled async promises lacking await, .catch(), or void.
      • Rule 14: ReactStateRace — Prohibits non-functional setState inside loops/async callbacks.
      • Rule 15: ListenerLeak — Verifies cleanup of addEventListener inside useEffect.
      • Rule 16: InsecureRandomness — Flags Math.random() in tokens, keys, and authentication scopes.
      • Rule 17: PathTraversal — Catches unvalidated user parameters in filesystem paths.
      • Rule 18: UnboundedRegex — Rejects exponential ReDoS backtracking repetition graphs.
      • Rule 19: DynamicCodeEval — Restricts eval(), new Function(), and dangerous dynamic code execution.
      • Rule 20: UntypedUnionAccess — Flags as any type escapes bypassing union narrowing.
    • RuleRunner: Bitset-driven parallel rule scanner running all 20 passes in < 50 µs.
  3. Deterministic AST Self-Healing Engine (src/remediate/):

    • AutoFixer & PatchStrategy: Non-speculative byte-span patch pipeline:
      • Automatically balances and closes unclosed JSX/HTML tags.
      • Converts deep null-dereference chains (a.b.c.d) into optional chaining (a?.b?.c?.d).
      • Hoists conditionally nested React hooks to component function root scope.
  4. Multi-File ACID Workspace Transactions (src/tx/):

    • WorkspaceTransaction & ShadowBuffer:
      • In-memory multi-file staging with simultaneous AST invariant verification.
      • Disk commit occurs only if 100% of invariants pass across all staged files.
      • Atomic rollback guarantees zero workspace drift / zero disk corruption on failure.

📦 Phase 1.5-B Deliverables

  1. Multi-Agent Symbol Leases & Conflict Governance (src/lease/):

    • SymbolLease & LeaseRegistry: Fine-grained concurrency locking on Fully Qualified Symbol Names (FQN, e.g. src/auth.rs::login).
    • Supports Time-To-Live (TTL), heartbeat renewals, auto-expiry, and structured conflict diagnostics (LeaseStatus::Conflict).
  2. Cross-File Taint & Type Flow Tracking (src/taint/):

    • DataFlowTracker: Traces tainted variables (req.params, process.env, userInput) through call chains to sensitive sinks (fs.readFile, db.query, eval).
    • NullPropagationTracker: Static analyzer detecting unhandled Option<T> / nullable returns accessed across module boundaries without guards.
  3. Pure-Rust In-Memory Quantized HNSW Vector Index (src/search/):

    • HnswIndex: 8-bit quantized integer vector index with cosine / dot-product similarity (zero C-FFI runtime overhead).
    • HybridMatcher: Blends exact AST lexical symbols with dense quantized semantic vectors for sub-millisecond context retrieval ($&lt; 1\text{ms}$).
  4. WebAssembly (WASM) Bridge Interface (src/wasm/):

    • LocusWasmBridge: Exposes core AST parsing, safety verification, skeletonization, auto-remediation, and MCP message dispatch to browser IDEs (VS Code Web, StackBlitz).
  5. MCP Server (22 Tools) & Enhanced CLI:

    • Exposes 22 native MCP tools over stdio (JSON-RPC 2.0).
    • CLI subcommands for check, fix, search, taint, lease, graph, impact, refs, slice, skeleton, patch, mcp.

📊 Verification & Empirical Performance Metrics

  • Test Suite: 91/91 tests passing (100% success rate).
  • Clippy: 0 warnings (cargo clippy -- -D warnings).
  • Memory Safety: 0 unsafe blocks (#![forbid(unsafe_code)] strictly enforced).
