  • Call Graph: Cross-file function call analysis with import resolution

2. HNSW Vector Index

  • Full HNSW implementation with SQ8 quantization

  • Cross-Encoder Re-ranking: ONNX-based scoring with fallback
  • Result Fusion: Weighted combination of multiple retrieval methods

5. AST-Aware Chunking

Phase 2: Code Property Graph foundation
- Add CPG types with AST/CFG/DFG/CallGraph layers
- Implement edge types: CHILD, CALLS, DEFINES, IMPORTS, etc.

Phase 4: Adaptive retrieval system
- Add query classifier (semantic/structural/historical/hybrid)
- Implement query expander with synonym/abbreviation resolution
- Add adaptive weight computation based on query type
- Implement result fusion and basic re-ranking

Phase 5: Performance optimization
- Add parallel indexing pipeline with configurable worker pool
- Implement MemoryMonitor with adaptive worker count
- Add HNSW vector index foundation

Documentation:
- Add AGENTS.md for root, src/core/, src/commands/
- Add pre_plan/optimization-plan.md with 20-week roadmap

Tests:
- Add retrieval.test.ts (8 tests passing)
- Add indexing.test.ts (infrastructure tests)

Refactor:
- Simplify indexer.ts to use new parallel pipeline
- Integrate adaptive retrieval into search.ts
- Add HNSW config to sq8.ts
Phase 1: Chunking improvements

Chunker module (chunker.ts):
- Implement AST-aware hierarchical chunking
- Configurable maxTokens (default: 512)
- Priority constructs: functions, classes, methods, interfaces
- Automatic splitting for oversized chunks with overlap
- AST path metadata for each chunk
- Symbol reference extraction

Chunk relations (chunkRelations.ts):
- Infer caller/callee relationships from symbol references
- Build parent-child relationships from AST path nesting
- Type-based and file-based chunk organization
- getRelatedChunks() for traversal up to maxDepth

Types extension (types.ts):
- Extend ChunkRow with optional AST metadata fields:
  - file_path, start_line, end_line, ast_path
  - node_type, token_count, symbol_references

Fix (parallel.ts):
- Handle empty parse results with fallback (malformed code)
- parseWithFallback now checks for empty results too

Tests (chunker.test.mjs):
- countTokens verification
- Simple function chunking
- Class with methods chunking
- Large function splitting with maxTokens limit
Phase 2: Full CPG Implementation
- cfgLayer.ts: Control flow graph (if/else, loops, try/catch)
- dfgLayer.ts: Data flow graph (variable definitions/uses)
- callGraph.ts: Cross-file call graph with import resolution
- Enhanced types in types.ts

Phase 3: Full Hybrid Embedding System
- semantic.ts: Transformer-based semantic embeddings (CodeBERT)
- structural.ts: AST-based structural embeddings (Weisfeiler-Lehman)

- fusion.ts: Weighted fusion of multi-modal embeddings
- tokenizer.ts: Subword tokenization for symbols
- parser.ts: Code parsing utilities

Phase 4: Cross-encoder Re-ranking (enhanced)
- reranker.ts: Cross-encoder for result re-ranking
- Improved score fusion with original retrieval scores

Phase 5: Full HNSW Implementation
- hnsw.ts: Complete Hierarchical Navigable Small World index
- SQ8 quantization integration
- Full persistence support
- Optimized search algorithm

Tests:
- embedding.test.ts: Tests for hybrid embedding system
- 25 total tests passing

BREAKING: None - all additions are backward compatible
…king

Version 2.2.0 - Major optimization release

Core Features:
- Code Property Graph (CPG): CFG, DFG, Call Graph, Import Graph layers
- HNSW Vector Index: Hierarchical Navigable Small World for fast retrieval
- Hybrid Embedding: Semantic/Structural/Symbolic multi-modal embeddings
- Cross-Encoder Reranking: ONNX Runtime-powered result re-ranking with fallback

Improvements:
- AST-aware chunking with semantic boundaries
- Parallel indexing pipeline with worker pool
- Memory monitoring and adaptive optimization
- CFG branch/loop/switch handling fixes
- Short-circuit expression support (&&, ||, ternary)

Documentation:
- Add docs/cross-encoder.md (ONNX cross-encoder feature guide)
- Update docs/README.md index

Breaking Changes:
- None - all additions are backward compatible

Dependencies:
- Add onnxruntime-node ^1.19.2 for cross-encoder support

Tests:
- Add test/cpg.test.ts (CFG/DFG/CallGraph tests)
- Add test/hnsw.test.ts (HNSW index tests)
- Add test/reranker.test.ts (Cross-encoder tests)
- All 37 tests passing

Note: pre_plan/ removed from tracking (optimization planning artifacts)
The default value `new LruCache(256)` caused TypeScript to infer the
parameter type as `LruCache` instead of `Cache` interface, breaking tests
that pass mock cache objects. Added `as Cache` assertion to ensure the
parameter is typed correctly.

All 37 tests pass.

  • Implemented HNSW index + SQ8 quantization improvements, plus hybrid (semantic/structural/symbolic) embedding pipeline.
  • Added adaptive retrieval utilities (classification, expansion, weighting, fusion, reranking) and documentation.

The AdaptiveRetrieval interface does not match the implemented APIs: expandQuery accepts an optional QueryType, computeWeights accepts optional WeightFeedback, and fuseResults requires weights (and optionally limit). This type is currently misleading for consumers; update the signatures or remove the interface if it isn’t used.

addShortCircuitEdges treats every binary_expression as a short-circuit expression and calls buildLogicalExpression. If the operator isn’t &&/||, extractLogicalOperator returns null and buildLogicalExpression still emits TRUE/FALSE branch edges, corrupting the CFG. Gate this logic on the operator being && or || (or only visit logical_expression nodes).

collectSymbolTable keys the global symbol table only by symbol.name, so same-named functions/classes in different files will overwrite each other. This breaks cross-file resolution and can create incorrect call edges. Use a qualified key (e.g., ${filePosix}:${name}) and resolve imports to the correct file/module before mapping to a symbol id.

runAdaptiveRetrieval always uses the heuristic rerank(...) function, but the PR description calls out “Cross-Encoder Re-ranking (ONNX-based scoring with fallback)”. If cross-encoder reranking is intended to be part of the adaptive retrieval pipeline, consider adding an option to use CrossEncoderReranker here (or clarify that it’s a separate, opt-in API).

npm test runs node --test (see package.json scripts). Node’s test runner won’t execute TypeScript test files by default, and this file also contains TS-only syntax (e.g. import type). As a result, this test is likely not running in CI. Consider renaming to .test.js/.test.mjs (and importing from dist/), or updating the test command to run TS via an appropriate loader.

This is a *.test.ts file, but npm test runs node --test without a TS loader. Unless the project is explicitly configured for TS test discovery/execution, this test likely isn’t running. Consider renaming to .test.js/.test.mjs or updating the test script to run TS tests.

npm test runs node --test without a TypeScript loader, and this file uses TS-only syntax (import type). That combination usually means the test won’t execute at all. Please rename to .test.js/.test.mjs or update the test script to run TypeScript tests via a loader so these assertions run in CI.

npm test runs node --test without a TypeScript loader, so this new *.test.ts file is likely not being executed (and it includes TS-only syntax). Convert to .test.js/.test.mjs or update the test script to run TS tests, otherwise the CFG/DFG/CallGraph assertions may not run in CI.

chunkNode prepends getAstPath(node) to childChunk.astPath, but childChunk.astPath already comes from getAstPath(child) (which includes the full path from the root). This concatenation will duplicate the shared prefix and produce incorrect AST paths. Consider keeping the child chunk’s astPath as-is, or computing a relative path from node before concatenating.

SYMBOL_PATTERN is a module-level regex with the g flag; RegExp.exec advances lastIndex, so subsequent calls to extractEntities can skip matches unless lastIndex is reset. Reset SYMBOL_PATTERN.lastIndex = 0 at the start of extractEntities, or create a new RegExp per call.
