fix(ci): skip docker.yml tag-input validation on direct tag pushes (#1065)

The early Validate step ran on both workflow_call and push events, but
push events never populate inputs.tag (the tag comes from github.ref).
This regressed every real tag-push release — v1.6.3's Docker Build &
Push failed at that gate. The downstream Verify step already falls back
to GITHUB_REF, so the upfront guard only needs to cover workflow_call.

+
+Tracks two things Dependabot cannot see:
+
+  1. Peer-dep compatibility. Each tree-sitter-* grammar declares a peer
+     dependency on the tree-sitter runtime. We want to know when every
+     grammar's *latest npm release* satisfies tree-sitter@0.25.0 so we
+     can upgrade without --legacy-peer-deps.
+
+  2. Vendored upstream drift. vendor/tree-sitter-proto/ is a snapshot of
+     coder3101/tree-sitter-proto's parser.c. When upstream moves, we want
+     to know whether we can pick it up.
+
+Invoked from .github/workflows/tree-sitter-upgrade-readiness.yml daily.
+Runs locally too:
+
+    python3 .github/scripts/check-tree-sitter-upgrade-readiness.py
+
+Outputs Markdown to stdout. Exit 0 when every grammar is upgrade-ready
+and the vendored proto is in sync. Exit 1 when blockers remain (the
+workflow uses this to open or update a tracking issue).
+
+No external deps -- stdlib only, so it runs on any vanilla runner.

+See CONTRIBUTING.md -> "GitHub Actions — Concurrency Convention" for the rules.
+
+Invoked from .github/workflows/ci-quality.yml. Runs locally too:
+    python3 .github/scripts/check-workflow-concurrency.py .github/workflows
+
+Rules:
+  1. Every entry-point (non-reusable) workflow declares a top-level
+     `concurrency:` block.
+  2. Reusable workflows (on: workflow_call ONLY) do NOT declare one.
+  3. The `concurrency.group` expression MUST reference either
+     `${{ github.workflow }}` or one of the approved hardcoded literal prefixes
+     for workflows that are simultaneously entry-points AND reusable (on: push/
+     workflow_call). Two such exceptions are currently approved:
+       - `CI-` for ci.yml (the original canonical form)
+       - `docker-build-push-` for docker.yml
+     This is checked by substring containment rather than prefix match because
+     the group value is a conditional expression that resolves to a `CI-…` or
+     `docker-build-push-…` literal at runtime.
+
+We deliberately do not use a YAML library — keeps the script dependency-free
+on any vanilla runner. `on:` block parsing is line-based and handles both the
+flat (`on: workflow_call`) and mapping (`on:\n  workflow_call:`) forms.

+#
+# ── Purpose (RFC #909 Ring 3, §6.4 "Observability gates") ──────────────
+# For every language in `MIGRATED_LANGUAGES` (exported from
+# `gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/registry-primary-flag.ts`), run the
+# resolver integration test at `test/integration/resolvers/<slug>.test.ts`
+# TWICE on every PR:
+#
+#   1. `REGISTRY_PRIMARY_<LANG>=0` — legacy DAG path (guarantees we haven't
+#      broken the old path while migrating).
+#   2. `REGISTRY_PRIMARY_<LANG>=1` — registry-primary path (guarantees the
+#      new path carries the same behavior — the parity gate).
+#
+# BOTH must pass. The source of truth is the TypeScript constant — adding
+# a language to that `Set` is the ONLY contributor action; CI auto-
+# discovers it, runs parity, and the language's default production path
+# flips to registry-primary in the same change.
+#
+# When the set is empty (e.g. mid-Ring-3 for every language), the parity
+# matrix is skipped and the workflow reports success — no-op until a
+# language is explicitly claimed migrated.

-- **Fallback:** As configured in Cursor or your organization (do not encode `latest` or wildcards in automation configs).
-- **Notes:** The open-source GitNexus CLI indexer does not call an LLM. Optional Nexus AI in the web UI uses end-user provider keys and models.

For this monorepo, commands and gotchas live under **Cursor Cloud specific instructions** below and in **[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)**. If always-on rules grow, split domain rules into **`.cursor/rules/*.mdc`** (globs). **Cursor:** project-wide rules live in **`.cursor/index.mdc`** (YAML frontmatter with `alwaysApply: true`). **Claude Code:** optionally load a **`STANDARDS.md`** only when needed (e.g. *“When writing new code, read STANDARDS.md”*) to save context.

 # GitNexus — Code Intelligence
 
-This project is indexed by GitNexus as **GitNexus** (4325 symbols, 10556 relationships, 300 execution flows). Use the GitNexus MCP tools to understand code, assess impact, and navigate safely.
+Indexed as **GitNexus** (4325 symbols, 10556 relationships, 300 execution flows). Use MCP tools to understand code, assess impact, and navigate safely.
 
-> If any GitNexus tool warns the index is stale, run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal first.
+> If any tool warns the index is stale, run `npx gitnexus analyze` first.
 
 ## Always Do
 
-- **MUST run impact analysis before editing any symbol.** Before modifying a function, class, or method, run `gitnexus_impact({target: "symbolName", direction: "upstream"})` and report the blast radius (direct callers, affected processes, risk level) to the user.
-- **MUST run `gitnexus_detect_changes()` before committing** to verify your changes only affect expected symbols and execution flows.
-- **MUST warn the user** if impact analysis returns HIGH or CRITICAL risk before proceeding with edits.
-- When exploring unfamiliar code, use `gitnexus_query({query: "concept"})` to find execution flows instead of grepping. It returns process-grouped results ranked by relevance.
-- When you need full context on a specific symbol — callers, callees, which execution flows it participates in — use `gitnexus_context({name: "symbolName"})`.
+- **MUST run impact analysis before editing any symbol.** `gitnexus_impact({target: "symbolName", direction: "upstream"})` — report blast radius to the user.
+- **MUST run `gitnexus_detect_changes()` before committing** — verify only expected symbols and flows are affected.
+- **MUST warn the user** if impact returns HIGH or CRITICAL risk.
+- Explore unfamiliar code with `gitnexus_query({query: "concept"})` (process-grouped, ranked) instead of grepping.
+- Full context on a symbol: `gitnexus_context({name: "symbolName"})`.
 
 ## When Debugging
 
-1. `gitnexus_query({query: "<error or symptom>"})` — find execution flows related to the issue
-2. `gitnexus_context({name: "<suspect function>"})` — see all callers, callees, and process participation
-3. `READ gitnexus://repo/GitNexus/process/{processName}` — trace the full execution flow step by step
-4. For regressions: `gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "compare", base_ref: "main"})` — see what your branch changed
+1. `gitnexus_query({query: "<error or symptom>"})` — find related execution flows
+2. `gitnexus_context({name: "<suspect function>"})` — callers, callees, process participation
+3. `READ gitnexus://repo/GitNexus/process/{processName}` — trace flow step by step
+4. Regressions: `gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "compare", base_ref: "main"})`
 
 ## When Refactoring
 
-- **Renaming**: MUST use `gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "old", new_name: "new", dry_run: true})` first. Review the preview — graph edits are safe, text_search edits need manual review. Then run with `dry_run: false`.
-- **Extracting/Splitting**: MUST run `gitnexus_context({name: "target"})` to see all incoming/outgoing refs, then `gitnexus_impact({target: "target", direction: "upstream"})` to find all external callers before moving code.
-- After any refactor: run `gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "all"})` to verify only expected files changed.
+- **Rename:** `gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "old", new_name: "new", dry_run: true})` first. Graph edits are safe; text_search edits need manual review.
+- **Extract/Split:** `gitnexus_context` (incoming/outgoing refs) then `gitnexus_impact` (upstream callers) before moving code.
+- **After any refactor:** `gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "all"})` to verify scope.
 
 ## Never Do
 
-- NEVER edit a function, class, or method without first running `gitnexus_impact` on it.
-- NEVER ignore HIGH or CRITICAL risk warnings from impact analysis.
-- NEVER rename symbols with find-and-replace — use `gitnexus_rename` which understands the call graph.
-- NEVER commit changes without running `gitnexus_detect_changes()` to check affected scope.
+- Edit a symbol without running `gitnexus_impact` first.
+- Ignore HIGH/CRITICAL risk warnings.
+- Rename with find-and-replace — use `gitnexus_rename`.
+- Commit without `gitnexus_detect_changes()`.
+- Add language-specific behavior to shared ingestion code (`gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/`) — use a `LanguageProvider` hook. Seeing `provider.mroStrategy === 'xxx'` or an import from `languages/xxx.ts` in shared code means stop and add a hook.

 ## Self-Check Before Finishing
 
-Before completing any code modification task, verify:
 1. `gitnexus_impact` was run for all modified symbols
-2. No HIGH/CRITICAL risk warnings were ignored
-3. `gitnexus_detect_changes()` confirms changes match expected scope
-4. All d=1 (WILL BREAK) dependents were updated
+2. No HIGH/CRITICAL warnings were ignored
+3. `gitnexus_detect_changes()` confirms expected scope
+4. All d=1 dependents were updated
 
 ## Keeping the Index Fresh
 
-After committing code changes, the GitNexus index becomes stale. Re-run analyze to update it:
-
 ```bash
-npx gitnexus analyze
+npx gitnexus analyze                 # basic refresh; preserves any existing embeddings
+npx gitnexus analyze --embeddings    # also generate embeddings for new/changed nodes
+npx gitnexus analyze --drop-embeddings  # explicit opt-in to wipe existing embeddings
 ```
 
-If the index previously included embeddings, preserve them by adding `--embeddings`:
+Check `.gitnexus/meta.json` `stats.embeddings` (0 = none). A plain `analyze` no longer drops existing vectors — pass `--drop-embeddings` to wipe.
 
-```bash
-npx gitnexus analyze --embeddings
-```
+> Claude Code: PostToolUse hook handles this after `git commit` and `git merge`.
 
-To check whether embeddings exist, inspect `.gitnexus/meta.json` — the `stats.embeddings` field shows the count (0 means no embeddings). **Running analyze without `--embeddings` will delete any previously generated embeddings.**

-This is a monorepo with two main products and supporting config packages:
-
-| Component | Path | Purpose |
-|-----------|------|---------|
-| **GitNexus CLI/Core** | `gitnexus/` | Main product — TypeScript CLI, indexing pipeline, MCP server. Published to npm. |
-| **GitNexus Web UI** | `gitnexus-web/` | React/Vite browser app — graph explorer + AI chat. Runs entirely in WASM. |
-| Claude Plugin | `gitnexus-claude-plugin/` | Static config for Claude marketplace (no build). |
-| Cursor Integration | `gitnexus-cursor-integration/` | Static config for Cursor editor (no build). |
-| SWE-bench Eval | `eval/` | Python evaluation harness (optional; needs Docker + LLM API keys). |
+| Package | Path | Purpose |
+|---------|------|---------|
+| **CLI/Core** | `gitnexus/` | TypeScript CLI, indexing pipeline, MCP server. Published to npm. |
+| **Web UI** | `gitnexus-web/` | React/Vite thin client. All queries via `gitnexus serve` HTTP API. |
+| **Shared** | `gitnexus-shared/` | Shared TypeScript types and constants. |
+| Claude Plugin | `gitnexus-claude-plugin/` | Static config for Claude marketplace. |
+| Cursor Integration | `gitnexus-cursor-integration/` | Static config for Cursor editor. |

 ### Running services
 
-- **CLI/Core**: `cd gitnexus && npm run dev` (tsx watch mode) or `npm run build && node dist/cli/index.js <command>`
-- **Web UI**: `cd gitnexus-web && npm run dev` (Vite on port 5173)
-- **Backend mode**: `cd <indexed-repo> && node /workspace/gitnexus/dist/cli/index.js serve` (HTTP API on port 3741 by default)
+```bash
+cd gitnexus && npm run dev                 # CLI: tsx watch mode
+cd gitnexus-web && npm run dev             # Web UI: Vite on port 5173
+npx gitnexus serve                         # HTTP API on port 4747 (from any indexed repo)
+```
 
 ### Testing
 
 **CLI / Core (`gitnexus/`)**
-- **Unit tests**: `cd gitnexus && npm test` (vitest, ~2000 tests)
-- **Integration tests**: `cd gitnexus && npm run test:integration` (vitest, ~1850 tests). Two LadybugDB file-locking tests (`lbug-core-adapter`, `search-core`) may fail in containerized environments due to `/tmp` locking limitations — this is a known environment issue, not a code bug.
-- **TypeScript check**: `cd gitnexus && npx tsc --noEmit`
+- `npm test` — full vitest suite (~2000 tests)
+- `npm run test:unit` — unit tests only
+- `npm run test:integration` — integration (~1850 tests). LadybugDB file-locking tests may fail in containers (known env issue).
+- `npx tsc --noEmit` — typecheck
 
 **Web UI (`gitnexus-web/`)**
-- **Unit tests**: `cd gitnexus-web && npm test` (vitest, ~200 tests)
-- **E2E tests**: `cd gitnexus-web && E2E=1 npx playwright test` (Playwright, 5 tests — requires `gitnexus serve` + `npm run dev` running)
-- **TypeScript check**: `cd gitnexus-web && npx tsc -b --noEmit`
+- `npm test` — vitest (~200 tests)
+- `npm run test:e2e` — Playwright (7 spec files; requires `gitnexus serve` + `npm run dev`)
+- `npx tsc -b --noEmit` — typecheck
 
-No separate lint command is configured; TypeScript strict checking serves as the primary static analysis.
+**Pre-commit hook** (`.husky/pre-commit`): formatting (prettier via lint-staged) + typecheck for staged packages. Tests do **not** run in pre-commit — CI only.
 
 ### Gotchas
 
-- `npm install` in `gitnexus/` triggers `prepare` (builds via `tsc`) and `postinstall` (patches tree-sitter-swift). Native tree-sitter bindings require `python3`, `make`, and `g++` to be present.
-- `tree-sitter-kotlin` and `tree-sitter-swift` are optional dependencies — install warnings for these are expected and non-blocking.
-- The Web UI uses `vite-plugin-wasm` and requires `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy`/`Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy` headers for `SharedArrayBuffer` (handled automatically by Vite dev server).
-- There is no ESLint/Prettier configuration in this repo.
+- `npm install` in `gitnexus/` triggers `prepare` (builds via `tsc`) and `postinstall` (patches tree-sitter-swift, builds tree-sitter-proto). Native bindings need `python3`, `make`, `g++`.
+- `tree-sitter-kotlin` and `tree-sitter-swift` are optional — install warnings expected.
+- ESLint configured via `eslint.config.mjs` (TS, React Hooks, unused-imports). No `npm run lint` script; use `npx eslint .`. Prettier runs via lint-staged. CI checks both in `ci-quality.yml`.

 ## End-to-end flow: index → graph → tools
 
-1. **Ingestion** (`gitnexus analyze`)  
-   - Entry: `gitnexus/src/cli/analyze.ts` → `runPipelineFromRepo` in `gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/pipeline.ts`.  
-   - The pipeline is structured as a **DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph)** of named phases (see [Pipeline Phase DAG](#pipeline-phase-dag) below).  
-   - Output is loaded into **LadybugDB** under **`.gitnexus/`** at the repo root (`lbug/`, `meta.json`, etc.). Optional **FTS** indexes and **embeddings** attach to the same store.  
-   - The repo is registered in **`~/.gitnexus/registry.json`** so MCP can find it from any working directory.
+1. **Ingestion** — `analyze.ts` → `runFullAnalysis` (`run-analyze.ts`) → `runPipelineFromRepo` (`pipeline.ts`). DAG of 12 phases builds a `KnowledgeGraph` in memory, then loads into LadybugDB under `.gitnexus/`. Repo registered in `~/.gitnexus/registry.json` for MCP discovery.
 
-2. **Persistence & metadata**  
-   - `gitnexus/src/storage/repo-manager.ts` — paths, registry, cleanup of legacy Kuzu artifacts.  
-   - `gitnexus/src/core/lbug/lbug-adapter.ts` — graph load, queries, embedding restore batches.
+2. **Persistence** — `repo-manager.ts` (paths, registry, KuzuDB cleanup). `lbug-adapter.ts` (graph load, queries, embedding batches).
 
-3. **Query & agents**  
-   - **MCP (stdio):** `gitnexus/src/cli/mcp.ts` → `startMCPServer` → `LocalBackend` (`gitnexus/src/mcp/local/local-backend.ts`) opens registered repos and serves **tools** from `gitnexus/src/mcp/tools.ts` and **resources** from `gitnexus/src/mcp/resources.ts`.  
-   - **Bridge HTTP:** `gitnexus/src/cli/serve.ts` → Express app in `gitnexus/src/server/api.ts` (CORS-limited) exposes REST + MCP-over-HTTP for the web UI.  
-   - **CLI tools (no MCP):** `gitnexus query`, `context`, `impact`, `cypher` in `gitnexus/src/cli/tool.ts` call the same backend for scripts and CI.
+3. **Query layer** — three interfaces to the same backend:
+   - **MCP (stdio):** `mcp.ts` → `LocalBackend` → tools (`tools.ts`) + resources (`resources.ts`)
+   - **HTTP bridge:** `serve.ts` → Express (`api.ts`, `mcp-http.ts`) for web UI
+   - **CLI direct:** `gitnexus query|context|impact|cypher` in `tool.ts`
 
-4. **Staleness**  
-   - `gitnexus/src/mcp/staleness.ts` compares indexed `lastCommit` to `HEAD` and surfaces hints when the graph is behind git.
+4. **Staleness** — `staleness.ts` compares indexed `lastCommit` to `HEAD`, surfaces hints.
 
-## MCP tools (summary)
+## MCP tools
 
 | Tool | Purpose |
 |------|---------|
-| `list_repos` | Discover indexed repositories when more than one is registered. |
-| `query` | Natural-language / keyword search over the graph (hybrid BM25 + optional vectors). |
-| `cypher` | Ad hoc **Cypher** against the schema (see resource `gitnexus://repo/{name}/schema`). |
-| `context` | Callers, callees, processes for one symbol (with disambiguation). |
-| `impact` | Blast radius (upstream/downstream) with depth and risk summary. |
-| `detect_changes` | Map git diffs to affected symbols and processes. |
-| `rename` | Graph-assisted rename with `dry_run` preview (`graph` vs `text_search` confidence). |
+| `list_repos` | Discover indexed repos |

+| `impact` | Blast radius (upstream/downstream) with risk summary |
+| `detect_changes` | Map git diffs to affected symbols and processes |
+| `rename` | Graph-assisted multi-file rename with `dry_run` preview |
+| `api_impact` | Pre-change impact report for an API route handler |
+| `route_map` | API route → handler → consumer mappings |
+| `tool_map` | MCP/RPC tool definitions and handlers |
+| `shape_check` | Response shape vs consumer property access mismatches |
+| `group_list` | List repo groups or details for one group |
+| `group_sync` | Rebuild group Contract Registry (`contracts.json`) and bridge graph |
+
+`query`, `context`, and `impact` are group-aware: pass `repo: "@<groupName>"` (or `"@<groupName>/<memberPath>"` to scope to one member) plus optional `service: "<monorepo/path>"`. Group-mode `query` merges per-repo results via Reciprocal Rank Fusion; group-mode `impact` runs the local walk in the chosen member and fans out across boundaries via the Contract Bridge (`gitnexus/src/core/group/cross-impact.ts`). The previously-planned `group_query`, `group_context`, `group_impact`, `group_contracts`, `group_status` MCP tools are intentionally not introduced — group-level state is exposed via resources instead:
+
+| Resource URI | Purpose |
+|--------------|---------|
+| `gitnexus://group/{name}/contracts` | Contract Registry (provider/consumer rows + cross-links) |
+| `gitnexus://group/{name}/status` | Per-member index + Contract Registry staleness |

+### DAG runner
+
+`runner.ts` — static phase graph, no plugins, compile-time type safety.
+
+1. **Validation** — Kahn's topological sort. Rejects on: duplicate names, missing deps, cycles (DFS traces the concrete cycle path, e.g., `A -> B -> C -> A`, plus count of transitively blocked dependents).
+
+2. **Execution** — sequential in topological order. Each phase receives:
+   - `ctx: PipelineContext` — shared mutable `KnowledgeGraph`, `repoPath`, progress callback, options
+   - `deps: ReadonlyMap<string, PhaseResult>` — **declared deps only** (runner filters the results map to prevent hidden coupling)
+
+3. **Error handling** — wraps phase errors with the phase name, emits terminal `error` progress event, swallows progress handler errors to preserve the original cause.
+
+4. **Timing** — per-phase `durationMs` in `PhaseResult`, dev-mode console logging.
+
+**Design patterns:**
+- **Single graph accumulator** — all phases mutate the same `KnowledgeGraph` in `ctx`; the graph is the primary output.
+- **Typed phase access** — `getPhaseOutput<T>(deps, 'name')` for type-safe upstream results.
+- **Binding accumulator lifecycle** — created in `parse`, disposed by `crossFile` (in `finally`). No other phase should take ownership.
+- **Skippable phases** — `skipGraphPhases` omits MRO/communities/processes (faster tests). `skipWorkers` forces sequential parsing.
 
 ### How to add a new phase
 
-1. Create a new file in `pipeline-phases/` (e.g. `my-phase.ts`)
-2. Define a `PipelinePhase<MyOutput>` object with `name`, `deps`, and `execute(ctx, deps)`
-3. Export it from `pipeline-phases/index.ts`
-4. Add it to the `buildPhaseList()` function in `pipeline.ts`
+1. Create `pipeline-phases/my-phase.ts` with a `PipelinePhase<MyOutput>` (name, deps, execute)
+2. Export from `pipeline-phases/index.ts`
+3. Add to `buildPhaseList()` in `pipeline.ts`
 
 ```typescript

-### DAG runner
+---
 
-The runner (`pipeline-phases/runner.ts`) validates the DAG at startup (detects cycles and missing deps via topological sort), then executes phases in dependency order. Each phase receives:
-- `ctx: PipelineContext` — shared graph, repoPath, progress callback
-- `deps: Map<string, PhaseResult>` — outputs from all upstream phases
+## Call-Resolution DAG
+
+Typed 6-stage pipeline in `call-processor.ts` (inside the `parse` phase) that resolves method/function calls and emits CALLS edges. Language behavior plugs in at two `LanguageProvider` hook points (stages 3–4); shared code names no languages. Scope: call resolution only — import resolution, type extraction, heritage, and symbol-table population live in other phases.
+
+### Stages
+
+```
+extract-call ──▶ classify-form ──▶ infer-receiver ──▶ select-dispatch ──▶ resolve-target ──▶ emit-edge
+     (1)              (2)            (3)  [hook]       (4)  [hook]         (5)                 (6)
+```
+
+| Stage | Produces | Location |
+|-------|----------|----------|
+| **extract-call** | `ExtractedCallSite` (name, form, receiver, argCount) | `call-extractors/` (per-language); runs in worker |
+| **classify-form** | callForm (`free`/`member`/`constructor`) + arity | `call-analysis.ts` → `inferCallForm`; shared, runs in worker |
+| **infer-receiver** | `ReceiverEnriched` (receiver type finalized) | `call-processor.ts`; shared default chain, then `inferImplicitReceiver` hook |
+| **select-dispatch** | `DispatchDecision` (primary, fallback, ancestryView) | `selectDispatch` hook, falls back to shared default |
+| **resolve-target** | `TieredCandidates` | `model/resolve.ts` → `lookupMethodByOwnerWithMRO` (MRO walk) |
+| **emit-edge** | CALLS edge in graph | `call-processor.ts`; writes edge with confidence tier |
+
+### Provider hooks
+
+Both hooks are optional on `LanguageProvider`. Ruby is the only current implementer.
+
+**`inferImplicitReceiver`** — called after shared infer-receiver defaults. Returns `ImplicitReceiverOverride | null`.
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Inputs | `calledName`, `callForm`, `receiverName`, `receiverTypeName`, `callNode` (AST), `filePath` |
+| Non-null fields | `callForm`, `receiverName`, `receiverTypeName` (required); `receiverSource: 'implicit-self'` (fixed); `hint?` (opaque, passed to `selectDispatch`) |
+| Null | Keep existing `ReceiverEnriched` state |
+
+**`selectDispatch`** — called after infer-receiver (including hook). Returns `DispatchDecision | null`; null uses shared default (constructor → `primary:'constructor'`; typed receiver → `primary:'owner-scoped'`; else → `primary:'free'`).
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Inputs | `calledName`, `callForm`, `receiverName`, `receiverTypeName`, `receiverSource`, `hint` |
+| Non-null fields | `primary: 'owner-scoped' \| 'free' \| 'constructor'`; `fallback?: 'free-arity-narrowed'`; `ancestryView?: 'instance' \| 'singleton'`; `hint?` |
+
+**`DispatchDecision` field semantics:**
+- `primary: 'owner-scoped'` — MRO walk from receiver's type; used when receiver type is known.
+- `fallback: 'free-arity-narrowed'` — after owner-scoped miss, search free-call candidates by arity only (Ruby uses this for implicit-self calls that miss their owner's MRO).
+- `ancestryView: 'singleton'` — walk singleton/class ancestry instead of instance ancestry (Ruby `def self.foo` bodies, so `extend`-ed methods are found).
+
+### Adding language behavior
+
+1. **Implicit receivers** — implement `inferImplicitReceiver`: return null if call already has a receiver; otherwise use `findEnclosingClassInfo` (`ast-helpers.ts`) to find the enclosing context, return `ImplicitReceiverOverride` with `receiverSource: 'implicit-self'`, and optionally set `hint` for `selectDispatch`.
+2. **Custom dispatch** — implement `selectDispatch`: inspect `receiverSource` and `hint`, return `DispatchDecision` with `primary`, optional `fallback`, optional `ancestryView`; return null to keep shared defaults.
+3. **MRO strategy** — confirm `mroStrategy` is `'first-wins'`, `'c3'`, `'ruby-mixin'`, or `'none'`; consumed by `lookupMethodByOwnerWithMRO`.
+
+**Ruby example** (`languages/ruby.ts` + `utils/ruby-self-call.ts`): `inferImplicitReceiver` rewrites bare-identifier calls to `self.method` and sets `hint` to `'instance'`/`'singleton'`; `selectDispatch` uses hint for `ancestryView` and adds `fallback: 'free-arity-narrowed'` for implicit-self calls.

+
+### Coexistence with the scope-resolution pipeline
+
+The Call-Resolution DAG is the **legacy path**. RFC #909 Ring 3 introduces a parallel **scope-resolution pipeline** (next section) that replaces stages 1–6 with a scope-indexed registry lookup. Both paths ship side-by-side and are gated per-language via `MIGRATED_LANGUAGES` + the `REGISTRY_PRIMARY_<LANG>` env var.
+
+- **Unmigrated language** → Call-Resolution DAG runs; scope-resolution phase is a no-op.
+- **Migrated language** (currently: Python, C#) → scope-resolution owns CALLS/ACCESSES/USES emission; the legacy DAG gates off for that language via `isRegistryPrimary(lang)` checks in `call-processor.ts` and `import-processor.ts`.
+- `import-processor` still populates `importMap` for migrated languages — heritage's `ctx.resolve` reads it to disambiguate parent classes. Only edge emission is gated.
+- CI runs BOTH paths for every migrated language on every PR (`.github/workflows/ci-scope-parity.yml`); both must pass.
+
+#### Same-graph guarantee
+
+Edges emitted by the scope-resolution pipeline and edges emitted by the legacy DAG are indistinguishable to downstream consumers (MCP tools, HTTP API, embeddings, group bridge):
+
+- **Node identity** — both paths use `generateId(...)` from `lib/utils.ts`, the same qualified-name keyspace, and the same node labels (`File`, `Folder`, `Class`, `Method`, `Function`, …). Overload disambiguation suffixes `parameterTypes` into the id consistently — see `scope-resolution/graph-bridge/ids.ts` and the legacy emitter in `call-processor.ts`.
+- **Edge vocabulary** — both paths emit the same reasons: `'import-resolved' | 'global' | 'local-call' | 'same-file' | 'interface-dispatch' | 'read' | 'write'`. Migrating a language must not change which reasons consumers see for previously-resolved edges.
+- **Confidence tier** — both paths attach a numeric `confidence` to each edge using the same scale.
+
+The CI parity workflow (`.github/workflows/ci-scope-parity.yml`) runs both paths against every migrated language's fixture corpus and fails on any divergence.
+
+#### Semantic-model source of truth
+
+Two independent invariants.
+
+**ParsedFile = the AST-level truth.** `ParsedFile` (`gitnexus-shared/src/scope-resolution/parsed-file.ts`) is the single per-file artifact both resolution paths consume. Scope-resolution passes MUST NOT build a parallel parse representation. If a per-language hook needs AST-level facts that `ParsedFile` doesn't expose, it should reuse the orchestrator's `treeCache` (`RunScopeResolutionInput.treeCache`) rather than re-invoking `parser.parse(...)` on its own — the C# `populateNamespaceSiblings` hook is the reference implementation of this pattern.
+
+**SemanticModel = the symbol-level truth.** `SemanticModel` (`gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/model/semantic-model.ts`) is the authoritative store for every symbol-indexed lookup (by `nodeId`, `simpleName`, `qualifiedName`, or `filePath`). Both paths read from here:
+
+- Legacy Call-Resolution DAG → `call-processor` Tier 1/2/3 via `model.symbols.lookupExactAll`, `model.methods.lookupMethodByName`, `model.types.lookupClassByName`, `lookupMethodByOwnerWithMRO`.
+- Scope-resolution pipeline → `findOwnedMember`, `pickOverload`, `findExportedDefByName` all consult `model.methods` / `model.fields` / `model.symbols`.
+
+The scope-resolution pipeline additionally carries `WorkspaceResolutionIndex` for `Scope`-valued lookups (`classScopeByDefId`, `moduleScopeByFile`) that `SemanticModel` structurally cannot hold. No symbol-indexed duplicates exist outside `SemanticModel`.
+
+**Write / read phase contract.** The model is mutable during three ordered phases and read-only afterward:
+
+```
+ Phase 1: legacy parse     ──► symbolTable.add fans into types/methods/fields
+ Phase 2: scope-resolution ──► reconcileOwnership() registers corrected ownerIds
+ Phase 3: finalize         ──► model.attachScopeIndexes(bundle) — one-shot freeze
+ ─────────────────────────── phase boundary ───────────────────────────
+ Read phase: all resolution passes + MCP + HTTP + embeddings see
+             SemanticModel (read-only handle); writes are type-errors.
+```
+
+`runScopeResolution` narrows `MutableSemanticModel` → `SemanticModel` at the phase boundary so downstream passes physically cannot mutate the model even accidentally.
+
+**Transitional: reconciliation pass.** `reconcileOwnership` (`scope-resolution/pipeline/reconcile-ownership.ts`) is a shim for languages whose legacy extractor doesn't resolve `enclosingClassId` at parse time (Python class-body methods are the canonical case). It walks `parsed.localDefs[i].ownerId` after `populateOwners` and registers any missed methods/fields into the model. Idempotent — safe to re-run, safe alongside languages whose legacy extractor already carries `ownerId` (C#).
+
+The architectural end state is for every language's parse-time extractor to emit the correct `ownerId` directly, making reconciliation a no-op (tracked as a follow-up refactor). The dev-mode validator `validateOwnershipParity` surfaces any drift via `onWarn` under `NODE_ENV !== 'production' && VALIDATE_SEMANTIC_MODEL !== '0'`.

+
+## Scope-Resolution Pipeline (RFC #909 Ring 3)
+
+Language-agnostic registry-primary resolver. Replaces the Call-Resolution DAG for migrated languages. Adding a language is one interface implementation (`ScopeResolver`) plus two registrations — no changes to shared code, no new pipeline phase.
+
+### Pipeline stages
+
+```
+ ParsedFile[]  (extractParsedFile per file)
+    │  finalizeScopeModel (+ provider hooks)
+    ▼
+ ScopeResolutionIndexes
+    │  resolveReferenceSites  (via MethodRegistry.lookup)
+    ▼
+ ReferenceIndex
+    │  emitReceiverBoundCalls  ── FIRST
+    │  emitFreeCallFallback    ── THEN
+    │  emitReferencesViaLookup ── LAST (uses handledSites)
+    │  emitImportEdges
+    ▼
+ KnowledgeGraph  (IMPORTS / CALLS / ACCESSES / INHERITS / USES)
+```
+
+Orchestrator: `runScopeResolution(input, provider)` in `scope-resolution/pipeline/run.ts`.
+Pipeline phase: `scopeResolutionPhase` in `scope-resolution/pipeline/phase.ts` — iterates `SCOPE_RESOLVERS ∩ MIGRATED_LANGUAGES`, reads per-file Trees from the parse phase's `scopeTreeCache`, disposes the cache at the end.
+
+### `ScopeResolver` contract
+
+Single interface a language implements to plug into the pipeline. Contract fully documented in `scope-resolution/contract/scope-resolver.ts`.
+
+| Hook | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `languageProvider` | Base `LanguageProvider` (tree-sitter query, `emitScopeCaptures`, import/binding interpreters, hooks) |
+| `populateOwners(parsed)` | Fill deferred `ownerId` fields on method defs (captures can't always know the owning class at parse time) |
+| `buildMro(graph, parsed, nodeLookup)` | Produce `mroByClassDefId: Map<DefId, DefId[]>` — C3, Ruby-mixin, or first-wins per language |
+| `resolveImportTarget(target, fromFile, allFiles)` | `(rawImportPath, sourceFile) → targetFilePath` (PEP-328 for Python, etc.) |
+| `mergeBindings(existing, incoming, scopeId)` | Shadowing / LEGB precedence |
+| `arityCompatibility` | Provider consumed by registry during `MethodRegistry.lookup` Step 2 |
+| `importEdgeReason` | Confidence-tier string for IMPORTS edge reason field |
+| `propagatesReturnTypesAcrossImports?` | Opt out of cross-file return-type propagation (default on) |
+| `fieldFallbackOnMethodLookup?` | Statically-typed languages turn this OFF — the heuristic over-connects (default on) |
+| `unwrapCollectionAccessor?` | Property-style collection views (`data.Values` on Dictionary-like receivers) — default off |
+| `collapseMemberCallsByCallerTarget?` | One CALLS edge per (caller, target) instead of per-site — default off |
+| `populateNamespaceSiblings?` | Cross-file implicit visibility (compiler-implicit namespace sharing) — default off; ctx carries `treeCache` |
+| `hoistTypeBindingsToModule?` | Walk up to Module scope when looking up a method's return-type typeBinding — default off; enable only when bindings are stored at module level |
+
+### Per-language registration
+
+1. Implement `ScopeResolver` in `languages/<lang>/scope-resolver.ts`.
+2. Add entry to `SCOPE_RESOLVERS` in `scope-resolution/pipeline/registry.ts`.
+3. Add the language to `MIGRATED_LANGUAGES` in `registry-primary-flag.ts` when the shadow-harness corpus parity ≥ 99% fixtures / ≥ 98% corpus.
+
+CI auto-discovers the set via `tsx`. No workflow edit required.

+
+### Performance notes
+
+- **Cross-phase Tree cache**: parse phase writes Trees into `scopeTreeCache` (separate from the chunk-local `astCache`) ONLY for languages with `emitScopeCaptures`. Scope-resolution reads from it to skip the second parse. Cleared at end of the phase. Workers leave the cache empty — Trees can't cross MessageChannels; cache miss = fresh parse. `PROF_SCOPE_RESOLUTION=1` emits hit/miss counters and a worker-engaged warning.
+- **Typed relationship iteration**: heritage + MRO walk only the EXTENDS / IMPLEMENTS / HAS_METHOD edges via `iterRelationshipsByType`, not the full relationship map.
+- **Workspace-resolution-index**: O(1) `findOwnedMember` / `findExportedDef` / `classScopeByDefId` built once per run.
+

+
+## Language-agnostic graph feeding
+
+16 languages → single unified graph. Four abstraction layers:
+
+```
+ Unified Graph Schema (44 node types, 21 relationship types)
+           ↑
+ Unified Resolution (3-tier name lookup + MRO walk)
+           ↑
+ Language Providers (import semantics, type config, export checker, MRO strategy)
+           ↑
+ Tree-Sitter Queries (per-language S-expressions, unified capture tags)
+```
+
+### Language providers
+
+Each language implements `LanguageProvider` (`language-provider.ts`). Key fields:
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `id`, `extensions` | Language identity and file matching |
+| `treeSitterQueries` | S-expression queries for AST extraction |
+| `importSemantics` | `named` / `wildcard-leaf` / `wildcard-transitive` / `namespace` |
+| `importResolver` | Language-specific path → file resolution |
+| `exportChecker` | Public/exported symbol detection |
+| `typeConfig` | Type annotation extraction rules |
+| `mroStrategy` | `first-wins` / `c3` / `none` |
+
+16 providers in `languages/index.ts` via `satisfies Record<SupportedLanguages, LanguageProvider>` — missing a language is a compile error.
+
+### Unified capture tags
+
+Per-language tree-sitter queries use different AST node names but produce the **same semantic capture tags**: `@definition.class`, `@definition.function`, `@call.name`, `@import.source`, `@heritage.extends`. Downstream extraction needs no language branching. Defined in `tree-sitter-queries.ts`.
+
+### Import resolution
+
+Per-language import resolution uses the **configs + factory** pattern (like call/method/class extractors). Each language declares an `ImportResolutionConfig` in `import-resolvers/configs/`, listing an ordered chain of `ImportResolverStrategy` functions. `createImportResolver()` (in `resolver-factory.ts`) composes them: first non-null result wins. Low-level helpers shared across strategies live alongside the configs in `import-resolvers/` (e.g. `go.ts`, `rust.ts`, `python.ts`).
+
+Unified 3-tier algorithm (`model/resolution-context.ts`), per-language `importSemantics` controls which tier activates:
+
+| Tier | Confidence | Mechanism |
+|------|-----------|-----------|
+| 1 — same-file | 0.95 | Symbol table for caller's file |
+| 2 — import-scoped | 0.9 | `NamedImportMap` chains (named) or all files in `importMap` (wildcard) |
+| 3 — global | 0.5 | O(1) index lookups: class, impl, callable. Fallback only |
+
+| Import strategy | Languages | Behavior |
+|----------------|-----------|----------|
+| `named` | TS, JS, Java, C#, Rust, PHP, Kotlin | Only explicitly imported names visible |
+| `wildcard-leaf` | Go, Ruby, Swift, Dart | Whole-package import, no transitive re-exports |
+| `wildcard-transitive` | C, C++ | `#include` closure chains through re-exports |
+| `namespace` | Python | Module aliases resolved at call site |
+
+### Chunked parse-and-resolve
+
+`parse` processes files in ~20 MB byte-budget chunks to bound memory. Per chunk:
+1. Worker pool dispatches files (or sequential fallback via `skipWorkers`)
+2. Each worker: detect language → load grammar → run queries → return unified `ParseWorkerResult`
+3. Synthesize wildcard bindings (`wildcard-synthesis.ts`)
+4. Resolve imports and heritage
+5. Collect `BindingAccumulator` entries for cross-file propagation
+
+Workers: `workers/worker-pool.ts`, `workers/parse-worker.ts`.
+
+### Heritage and MRO
+
+All languages emit unified `ExtractedHeritage` (child, parent, `EXTENDS`/`IMPLEMENTS`). MRO phase walks the heritage graph using per-language strategy:
+- **`first-wins`** — Java, C#, C++, TS, Ruby, Go
+- **`c3`** — Python (C3 linearization)
+- **`none`** — single-inheritance languages
+
+Unified walk: `lookupMethodByOwnerWithMRO()` in `model/resolve.ts`.

 ## Known limitations
 
 ### Overloaded method resolution
 
-Method and Constructor node IDs include an arity suffix (`#<paramCount>`) to
-disambiguate overloaded methods. Two overloads with different parameter counts
-produce distinct graph nodes: `Method:file:Class.method#1` vs
-`Method:file:Class.method#2`.
+Node IDs use arity suffix (`#<paramCount>`): `Method:file:Class.method#1` vs `#2`.
 
-**Same-arity overload disambiguation:** When two overloads share the same
-parameter count but differ in types (e.g. `save(int)` vs `save(String)`), a
-type-hash suffix `~type1,type2` is appended to produce distinct node IDs:
-`Method:file:Class.save#1~int` vs `Method:file:Class.save#1~String`. The suffix
-is only added when a same-arity collision is detected within a class and all
-parameters have non-null type annotations. Languages without type info (Python,
-Ruby, JS) fall back to arity-only IDs. TypeScript/JavaScript overload signatures
-are intentionally excluded from type-hashing because they are declaration-only
-contracts that should collapse to the implementation body's node ID. See issue
-\#651.
+**Same-arity disambiguation:** type-hash suffix `~type1,type2` when collision detected and type annotations present. Languages without types (Python, Ruby, JS) use arity-only. TS/JS overload signatures excluded (collapse to implementation body). See #651.
 
-**C++ const-qualified overload disambiguation:** Methods overloaded by const
-qualification (e.g. `begin()` vs `begin() const`) are disambiguated via an
-`isConst` property and a `$const` ID suffix appended to the const-qualified
-variant when a non-const collision exists. The `$const` suffix appears after the
-type-hash suffix: e.g. `Method:file:Container.begin#0$const`.
+**C++ const-qualified:** `$const` suffix after type-hash when non-const collision exists: `Method:file:Container.begin#0$const`.
 
-**Generic/template type preservation in type-hash:** The type-hash suffix uses
-`rawType` (full AST text including generic/template args) rather than the
-simplified `type` from `extractSimpleTypeName`. This means C++ template overloads
-like `process(vector<int>)` vs `process(vector<string>)` produce distinct IDs:
-`~vector<int>` vs `~vector<std::string>`. Java generic overloads like
-`process(List<String>)` vs `process(List<Integer>)` are a compile error due to
-type erasure, so this gap is theoretical for Java.
+**Generic/template types:** type-hash uses `rawType` (full AST text including generics): `~vector<int>` vs `~vector<std::string>`.
 
-**ID stability on first overload:** Type and const tags are collision-only. When
-a class has `save(int)` as its only `save` method, the ID is `save#1` (no tag).
-Adding `save(String)` changes the original to `save#1~int`. This is correct for
-fresh analysis but means IDs are not stable across overload additions. Future
-incremental re-analysis should account for this.
+**ID stability:** collision-only tags mean IDs change when overloads are added. `save#1` becomes `save#1~int` when `save(String)` is added.
 
-**Variadic method matching:** When one side is variadic (`parameterCount`
-undefined) and the other has a fixed count, `METHOD_IMPLEMENTS` edges are
-emitted with confidence 0.7 instead of 1.0. Variadic methods like
-`foo(String... args)` may superficially match `foo(String s)` by type but
-are not guaranteed to be interchangeable across all languages (Java/Kotlin
-accept this via varargs sugar; TypeScript, C#, Rust do not).
+**Variadic matching:** confidence 0.7 when one side is variadic and the other has fixed count.
 
-**Confidence tiering** for `METHOD_IMPLEMENTS` edges:
+**METHOD_IMPLEMENTS confidence tiering:**
 
-| Match quality | Confidence | When |
-|---|---|---|
-| Exact parameter types match | 1.0 | Both sides have `parameterTypes` arrays and they match |
-| Arity (count) matches | 1.0 | Both sides have `parameterCount`, types unavailable |
-| Variadic vs fixed | 0.7 | One side is variadic, other has fixed count |
-| Lenient (insufficient info) | 0.7 | One or both sides lack type and count data |
+| Match quality | Confidence |
+|---|---|
+| Exact parameter types match | 1.0 |
+| Arity match, types unavailable | 1.0 |
+| Variadic vs fixed | 0.7 |
+| Insufficient info | 0.7 |

 ## Branch and pull requests
 
 - Use short-lived branches off the default branch of the repo you are targeting.
-- Prefer **conventional commits** (short prefix + description), for example:
-
-  ```text
-  feat: add graph export option
-  fix: correct MCP tool schema for query
-  test: cover cluster merge edge case
-  docs: clarify analyze flags
-  ```
-
-- **PR title:** `[area] Short description` (e.g. `[cli] Fix index refresh race`).
+- **PR titles MUST follow the conventional-commit format** — `pr-labeler.yml` enforces this on every PR and auto-applies the matching label so release notes group the change correctly.
 - **PR description:** what changed, why, how to verify (commands), and any risk or rollback notes.

 ## Code review
 
 Maintainers may request changes for correctness, tests, performance, or consistency with existing patterns. Keeping diffs focused makes review faster.
 
+## GitHub Actions — Concurrency Convention
+
+Every workflow under `.github/workflows/` MUST declare a top-level `concurrency:` block using this convention:
+
+- **Group key** starts with `${{ github.workflow }}` so no two workflows can collide on the same group name. The discriminator that follows is chosen per event shape:
+  - Branch/tag scope: `${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}`
+  - Per-PR scope (for `issue_comment`, `pull_request_review*`, `pull_request` meta events): `${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.pull_request.number || github.event.issue.number }}`
+  - `workflow_run` scope (e.g. `ci-report.yml`): `${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.workflow_run.pull_requests[0].number || format('{0}/{1}', github.event.workflow_run.head_repository.full_name, github.event.workflow_run.head_branch) }}` — the fork fallback must be stable across reruns (never `workflow_run.id`, which is per-run-unique and defeats serialization).
+  - Global single-slot (manual dispatch utilities): `${{ github.workflow }}`
+  - **Reusable workflows invoked via `workflow_call`:** do NOT use `${{ github.workflow }}` in the group key — in called-workflow context its evaluation is ambiguous and can resolve to the caller's name, which would deadlock against the caller's own group. Use a hardcoded literal prefix and a `github.event_name`-aware expression that falls through to `github.run_id` for reusable invocations (see `ci.yml` for the canonical form). Approved literal prefixes: `CI-` (`ci.yml`) and `docker-build-push-` (`docker.yml`). The `check-workflow-concurrency.py` validation script must be updated whenever a new approved literal prefix is added.
+  - **Merge queue (`merge_group`)**: when this event is added, use `${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.merge_group.head_ref }}` with `cancel-in-progress: false` (every queue entry is a distinct ref; never cancel).
+- **`cancel-in-progress` policy:**
+
+  | Event | `cancel-in-progress` | Why |
+  |-------|----------------------|-----|
+  | `pull_request` CI run | `true` | New push supersedes old run |
+  | `push` to `main` | `false` | Every main commit gets validated |
+  | Tag push (`v*` publish) | `false` | Never cancel mid-publish |
+  | `push` to `main` for release-candidate | `false` | Never cancel mid-RC publish |
+  | `workflow_dispatch` (release/publish) | `false` | Manual runs are intentional |
+  | `workflow_run` (sticky-comment reports) | `false` | Serialize, don't race |
+  | Per-PR bot workflows (`@claude`, review) | `false` | Serialize comments per PR |
+  | PR-meta re-checks (pr-description-check) | `true` | Cheap, latest wins |
+  | Single-slot utilities (triage sweep) | `true` | Latest dispatch supersedes |
+
+- For workflows that serve multiple events at once (e.g. `ci.yml` handles `pull_request`, `push`, and `workflow_call`), make `cancel-in-progress` event-aware:
+
+  ```yaml
+  concurrency:
+    group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
+    cancel-in-progress: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' }}
+  ```
+
+- When adding a new workflow, copy the concurrency block from an existing workflow of the same event shape.
+
 ## AI-assisted contributions
 
 If you use coding agents, follow project context files (e.g. `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`) and avoid drive-by refactors unrelated to the issue. Prefer incremental, test-backed changes.
+
+## Releases
+
+Two publish workflows ship `gitnexus` to npm:
+
+- **Stable** (`.github/workflows/publish.yml`) — triggered by pushing any `v*`
+  tag. Publishes to the `latest` dist-tag with a changelog-backed GitHub
+  release. Maintainers are expected to tag from `main` as a convention; the
+  workflow itself does not enforce branch reachability.
+- **Release Candidate** (`.github/workflows/release-candidate.yml`) — runs on
+  every push to `main` (typically a merged PR) plus manual dispatch. Docs-only
+  changes are skipped via `paths-ignore`. Publishes to the `rc` dist-tag with
+  version `X.Y.Z-rc.N` and a GitHub prerelease, where:
+  - `X.Y.Z` is selected automatically. On push (and on dispatch with
+    `bump: auto`, the default) the workflow **continues the active rc cycle**:
+    if the registry already has `X.Y.Z-rc.*` versions with `X.Y.Z` > current
+    `latest`, it reuses the highest such base; otherwise it patch-bumps
+    from `latest`. Dispatching with `bump: patch|minor|major` **resets**
+    the cycle from `latest`.
+  - `N` is auto-incremented against existing `X.Y.Z-rc.*` entries on the
+    registry. First rc for a given base is `rc.1`.
+  - After the npm publish succeeds, the workflow calls `docker.yml` as a
+    reusable workflow to build and push the corresponding RC Docker images
+    (e.g. `ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus:1.7.0-rc.1`, mirrored to
+    `docker.io/akonlabs/gitnexus:1.7.0-rc.1`). The images are signed
+    with Cosign; the OIDC identity is `docker.yml@refs/heads/main` (the
+    caller's ref — see README.md § Docker for the verify command).
+
+  Idempotency: the workflow pushes an `rc/<HEAD_SHA>` marker tag and a
+  `v<RC>` release tag **atomically, before** calling `npm publish`. The guard
+  refuses to re-run once the marker exists, so a post-publish failure will
+  not mint a duplicate rc for the same commit. The `v<RC>` tag points at a
+  detached release commit whose `package.json` matches the npm tarball
+  exactly (traceable releases). Recovery after a partial failure:
+
+  ```bash
+  git push --delete origin rc/<HEAD_SHA> v<RC>
+  # then redispatch the workflow with force: true
+  ```
+
+  **Docker-only partial failure:** if `publish` succeeds (npm tarball + tags
+  are live) but the `docker` job subsequently fails (e.g. GHCR flakiness),
+  the npm RC is already published and the `rc/<HEAD_SHA>` marker is in place.
+  Re-running `release-candidate.yml` with `force: true` will abort at the
+  "Version already exists on npm" guard. To recover without cutting a new RC:
+
+  ```bash
+  # 1. Manually trigger only the docker workflow, passing the existing RC tag:
+  gh workflow run docker.yml --ref main -f tag=v<RC_VERSION>
+  # (requires a workflow_dispatch trigger on docker.yml — see note below)
+  ```
+
+  Because `docker.yml` intentionally has no `workflow_dispatch` (images are
+  tag-driven by design), the practical recovery options are:
+  - Wait for the next commit on `main`, which will cut a new RC that includes

+# Definition of Done — GitNexus
+
+Last reviewed: 2026-04-23 · Version: 2.0.0
+
+This document defines the repo-wide completion bar for production-ready changes in GitNexus. It is the stable baseline. Implementation prompts, agent behavior, and review workflows may add task-specific checks, but they must never weaken this bar.
+
+Use it together with:
+
+- `AGENTS.md` — agent-facing rules of engagement
+- `GUARDRAILS.md` — hard safety constraints
+- `CONTRIBUTING.md` — contributor workflow
+- `TESTING.md` — test strategy and coverage expectations
+- `ARCHITECTURE.md` — pipeline boundaries, Call-Resolution DAG, LanguageProvider contract
+
+## 1. Scope and Intent
+
+A change is **Done** when it is correct, safely integrated, appropriately tested, operationally sound, and a net improvement to the codebase — not merely "the code compiles and a test passes."
+
+This DoD applies to:
+
+- CLI, MCP, and HTTP-bridge behavior in `gitnexus/`
+- Browser UI in `gitnexus-web/`
+- Shared contracts in `gitnexus-shared/`
+- CI workflows, release pipelines, and repo-level docs
+
+Out of scope: full agent personas, step-by-step implementation prompts, verbose review formatting rules, repo walkthroughs already covered elsewhere, temporary task-specific acceptance criteria. Those belong in prompts, PR templates, or other repo docs.
+
+## 2. Core Definition of Done
+
+Every change must satisfy **every relevant item** below. If an item does not apply, say so explicitly in the PR description.
+
+### 2.1 Correctness and Completeness
+
+- [ ] The requested behavior is implemented end-to-end in the **real runtime path** for the affected surface — no dead code, partial wiring, test-only shims, or "works in isolation but not in production" seams.
+- [ ] Edge cases relevant to the changed surface are handled or explicitly documented as out of scope.
+- [ ] Error handling is proportionate: inputs at system boundaries (user input, external APIs, filesystem, process spawn) are validated; internal, framework-guaranteed paths are trusted.
+- [ ] The change produces the same result on re-run (idempotent where expected) and does not rely on accidental ordering.
+
+### 2.2 Architecture and Placement
+
+- [ ] The change is placed in the correct package and layer:
+  - `gitnexus/` for CLI, MCP, HTTP bridge, ingestion, graph, and runtime logic
+  - `gitnexus-web/` for browser UI (thin client — no WASM workers, all queries via HTTP API)
+  - `gitnexus-shared/` for shared contracts, types, and constants
+- [ ] Pipeline and architecture boundaries remain explicit. Shared ingestion code in `gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/` must not name languages — use `LanguageProvider` hooks (see `AGENTS.md` and `ARCHITECTURE.md` § Call-Resolution DAG).
+- [ ] No hidden cross-phase coupling; no leaking of language-specific logic into shared infrastructure without a documented architectural reason.
+- [ ] Runtime and graph behavior are consistent — the real source of truth is fixed at the source, not symptom-patched in a downstream layer.
+- [ ] Direct imports from `gitnexus-shared` are used. No barrel re-exports introduced to paper over drift between packages.
+
+### 2.3 Design and Readability
+
+- [ ] The implementation is the **smallest correct solution** for the requirement. No speculative abstraction, unnecessary indirection, clever but hard-to-follow control flow, or unrelated cleanup.
+- [ ] Naming, control flow, ownership, and extension points are clear enough that the next contributor can extend the code without archaeology.
+- [ ] Comments are minimal and useful — they explain intent, invariants, contracts, or non-obvious constraints. No stale comments, placeholder comments, narrated code, commented-out code, or "what" comments where a good name would do.
+- [ ] No copy-paste duplication created for convenience; no premature deduplication of three similar lines.
+
+### 2.4 Contracts and Compatibility
+
+- [ ] Existing contracts (types in `gitnexus-shared/`, CLI flags, MCP tools/resources, HTTP routes, graph node/edge shapes, persisted IDs) are preserved unless the task explicitly requires a contract change.
+- [ ] Any contract change is intentional, explicit, and reflected in **every direct consumer** in the same change, with types aligned end-to-end.
+- [ ] Persisted data changes (graph schema, IDs, embeddings) are backward-compatible or accompanied by a documented migration / reindex path.
+- [ ] If user-visible behavior, public usage, CLI help, or README examples change, the relevant docs, examples, help text, or migration notes are updated in the same change.
+
+### 2.5 Security
+
+- [ ] No new injection surfaces (command, path, SQL/Cypher-style, prompt) introduced on paths that consume untrusted input.
+- [ ] No secrets, tokens, or credentials committed to the repo, to logs, or to error messages.
+- [ ] Filesystem access honors the repo-scope and indexed-repo boundaries documented in `AGENTS.md` and `GUARDRAILS.md`.
+- [ ] Third-party dependencies added or bumped are justified, from reputable sources, and do not regress the supply-chain posture.
+
+### 2.6 Performance and Resource Use
+
+- [ ] No repeated avoidable work, unnecessary scans, unnecessary round-trips, unbounded caches, or obvious hot-path regressions.
+- [ ] Tree-sitter buffer sizing follows the adaptive 512KB–32MB convention (`getTreeSitterBufferSize`) — do not hard-code new buffer sizes.
+- [ ] Memory and handle lifecycles are explicit: database handles (LadybugDB) close cleanly, no dangling process watchers, no leaked tree-sitter parsers.
+- [ ] Long-running or large-graph paths remain bounded or are measurably streamed; degradation on large real repos is considered, not assumed benign.
+
+### 2.7 Tests
+
+- [ ] Tests cover the **real changed path** — they would fail if behavior, wiring, or contracts were broken, not only if a mock were misconfigured.
+- [ ] Integration tests hit a real database where the production path does; do not introduce mocks that hide migration or schema drift.
+- [ ] Assertions are meaningful. Use `toBe` / `toEqual` for exact expectations; avoid `toBeGreaterThanOrEqual` and other bounds-only assertions that mask regressions.
+- [ ] Fixtures are realistic enough for the risk of the change — a one-file fixture is not sufficient for a pipeline-wide behavior change.
+- [ ] New tests are deterministic and do not depend on network, clock, or host-specific paths without explicit isolation.
+
+### 2.8 Observability and Operability
+
+- [ ] Errors surfaced to users or callers are actionable: they name what failed, what input was involved (without leaking secrets), and how to recover where possible.
+- [ ] Logging is proportionate — no noisy debug logs left in hot paths, no silent catches that swallow diagnostics.
+- [ ] CLI exit codes and MCP tool responses are correct for each outcome (success, user error, internal error).
+- [ ] Progress reporting (`PipelineProgress` and similar shared contracts) remains accurate after the change.
+
+### 2.9 Reversibility and Risk
+
+- [ ] The change has a clear rollback story: revert is safe, or migration is accompanied by a documented rollback / reindex procedure.
+- [ ] Residual risks, compatibility impacts, and operational concerns are either resolved or **clearly stated** in the PR description.
+- [ ] Destructive or hard-to-reverse operations (graph rebuild, schema change, `git` state manipulation) are opt-in or guarded.
+
+## 3. Agent-Assisted Workflow Guardrails
+
+When the change is produced with or reviewed by an AI agent, the following additional gates apply:
+
+- [ ] **Scope match.** The final diff matches the intended symbols, files, and processes — no speculative refactors, unrelated formatting churn, or collateral edits outside the task scope.
+- [ ] **Evidence-based edits.** Claims about repo state are verified against the current code, not trusted from memory or stale documentation.
+- [ ] **Impact analysis.** Where GitNexus graph tooling is available and relevant, impact of non-trivial symbol, contract, or runtime-path changes is checked **before** editing.
+- [ ] **Embeddings preserved.** If an indexed repo already has embeddings and re-analysis is required, embeddings are preserved — not accidentally dropped by a destructive reindex.
+- [ ] **No false-done.** "Done" is claimed only after the Validation Baseline below has been run or any gap is explicitly named. Green tests on an unrelated path do not constitute validation.
+- [ ] **Five-axis self-review** before handing off: correctness, readability, architecture, security, performance.
+
+## 4. Validation Baseline
+
+Run the commands relevant to the touched area. If something cannot be run in the current environment, state it explicitly in the handoff.
+
+### 4.1 Build ordering
+
+- [ ] `gitnexus-shared/` dist is built before consuming packages are typechecked or tested (CI uses the `setup-gitnexus` action for this — local runs must match).
+
+### 4.2 If `gitnexus/` changed
+
+- [ ] `cd gitnexus && npx tsc --noEmit`
+- [ ] `cd gitnexus && npm test`
+- [ ] `cd gitnexus && npx prettier --check .` for files in the diff (pre-commit runs the affected-tests subset; do not expand scope)
+
+### 4.3 If `gitnexus-web/` changed
+
+- [ ] `cd gitnexus-web && npx tsc -b --noEmit`
+- [ ] `cd gitnexus-web && npm test`
+- [ ] `cd gitnexus-web && npm run test:e2e` when browser flows or user-facing UI behavior changed
+
+### 4.4 If `gitnexus-shared/` changed
+
+- [ ] Shared package builds cleanly (`npm run build` in `gitnexus-shared/`)
+- [ ] Dependent packages still typecheck and test after the shared change — verify both CLI and web consumers together
+
+### 4.5 If CI workflows or release pipelines changed
+
+- [ ] The workflow passes a dry-run or triggered run before merge; concurrency (`cancel-in-progress`) and the `setup-gitnexus` action remain wired correctly.
+- [ ] `CHANGELOG.md` is **not** edited here — it is owned by the release process.
+
+## 5. Review Gates
+
+A reviewer (human or agent) should be able to answer **yes** to each of the following before approving:
+
+1. **Correctness** — Does the change do what it claims on the real runtime path?
+2. **Readability** — Will the next contributor understand this in six months without asking?
+3. **Architecture** — Is it in the right package, layer, and phase? Are boundaries respected?
+4. **Security** — No new injection, leak, or trust-boundary violation?
+5. **Performance** — No obvious regression on realistic inputs?
+6. **Tests** — Would a regression in the changed behavior fail loudly?
+7. **Scope** — Does the diff match the intended change, with no unrelated churn?
+
+## 6. "Not Done" Signals
+
+A change is **not** Done if any of the following is true, even if CI is green:
+
+- The runtime path is not actually exercised by the tests.
+- A contract drifted between `gitnexus/`, `gitnexus-web/`, and `gitnexus-shared/` and only one side was updated.
+- A language-specific concern leaked into shared ingestion code.
+- The diff contains unrelated reformatting, refactors, or cleanup beyond the stated task.
+- Logs, comments, or TODOs were added as placeholders for work not done.
+- The change depends on a manual step that is not documented.
+- `CHANGELOG.md` was edited during PR work.
+- Pre-commit, prettier, or typecheck was bypassed without explicit justification.
+
+## 7. Task-Specific DoD Template
+
+Use this in implementation and review prompts. Keep it short and tailor it to the actual change:
+
+```md
+# Definition of Done for this implementation
+
+- [ ] Runtime wiring is complete for the affected path.
+- [ ] Requested behavior is correct and relevant contracts are preserved or explicitly updated.
+- [ ] The design stays scoped, readable, and proportionate to the task.
+- [ ] Tests prove the changed behavior and catch broken wiring.
+- [ ] Required validation for touched packages has been run, or any gap is explicitly noted.
+- [ ] Repo boundaries, security, performance, and operational safety are respected.
+- [ ] The diff contains only the intended change — no unrelated churn.
+```
+
+## 8. How to Use This File in Claude Review
+
+Reference this file as the repo-wide completion bar. Add a task-specific review instruction such as:
+
+```md
+Review this change against `DoD.md` and the repo docs (`AGENTS.md`, `GUARDRAILS.md`,
+`CONTRIBUTING.md`, `TESTING.md`, `ARCHITECTURE.md`). Treat `DoD.md` as the minimum
+bar for production readiness. Flag anything that is partially wired, contract-unsafe,
+under-tested, architecturally misplaced, scope-creeping, or harder to maintain than
+necessary. Apply the five-axis review gate: correctness, readability, architecture,
+security, performance.
+```
+
+## 9. Evolution
+
+This DoD is living. Revisit it when:
+
+- A class of incident slips past it (add a gate).
+- A gate becomes consistently ceremonial without catching issues (remove or merge it).
+- The architecture evolves in a way that changes what "done" means (update placement, validation, or contracts sections).
+
+Track material updates in the changelog below. Keep the file tight — if it grows past a single read-in-one-sitting, something has drifted into the wrong place.

 # Migration Guide
 
+## `impact` tool may now return `{ status: 'ambiguous' }` (PR #888, issue #470)
+
+Before this change the `impact` MCP tool silently picked the first match
+when the `target` name hit multiple symbols (Class → Interface → Function
+→ Method → Constructor priority UNION). This often produced analysis for
+the wrong symbol with no signal back to the caller.
+
+After this change, when the resolver finds more than one viable match
+and the caller supplied none of `target_uid` / `file_path` / `kind`,
+`impact` returns a disambiguation response shaped like:
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "ambiguous",
+  "message": "Found N symbols matching '<target>'. Use target_uid, file_path, or kind to disambiguate.",
+  "target": { "name": "<target>" },
+  "direction": "upstream",
+  "impactedCount": 0,
+  "risk": "UNKNOWN",
+  "candidates": [
+    { "uid": "...", "name": "...", "kind": "Function", "filePath": "...", "line": 42, "score": 0.76 }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Do I need to migrate?
+
+**Probably not, but check for assumptions.** Callers that unconditionally
+read `result.byDepth` / `result.summary` / `result.affected_processes`
+without first checking `result.status` will now see `undefined` in the
+ambiguous case. The fix is to branch on `result.status === 'ambiguous'`
+first and follow up with `target_uid` (preferred) or `file_path` / `kind`.
+
+The `context` tool's ambiguous response is a strict superset of the
+existing shape — every candidate gains a `score` field, no existing field
+has changed. No migration required for `context` callers.

+### What happens on re-index?
+
+Nothing — this is an MCP-surface change only. The graph schema, indexer,
+and stored data are untouched.

+## Docker
+
+The official Docker setup ships **two signed images** orchestrated by `docker-compose.yaml`. Each image is published to both **GitHub Container Registry** (GHCR) and **Docker Hub** — same build, same digest, same Cosign signature — so pick whichever registry you prefer:
+
+| Purpose                                                                | GHCR (default in `docker-compose.yaml`)       | Docker Hub mirror                           |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| CLI / `gitnexus serve` backend (HTTP API on port `4747`, MCP, indexer) | `ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus:latest`     | `akonlabs/gitnexus:latest`                  |
+| Static web UI (port `4173`)                                            | `ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus-web:latest` | `akonlabs/gitnexus-web:latest`              |
+
+> **Heads-up — image rename.** Earlier releases published the web UI under
+> `ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus`. Starting with the introduction of the
+> bundled backend, that slug now hosts the CLI/server image and the UI moved
+> to `ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus-web`. The previous tags remain
+> available for pulling, but new versions are only published under the new
+> slugs. Update your `docker run` / compose files accordingly (or just adopt
+> the bundled compose).
+
+### One-command setup
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+This starts the server on `http://localhost:4747` and the web UI on
+`http://localhost:4173`. The UI auto-detects the server because the browser
+runs on the host and reaches the container via the mapped port.
+
+A named volume (`gitnexus-data`) persists the global registry, indexes, and
+cloned repos at `/data/gitnexus` inside the server container. To make repos on
+your host machine indexable, set `WORKSPACE_DIR` before bringing the stack up:
+
+```bash
+WORKSPACE_DIR=$HOME/code docker compose up -d
+# Inside the server container the directory is mounted read-only at /workspace.
+docker compose exec gitnexus-server gitnexus index /workspace/my-repo
+```
+
+### Direct `docker run`
+
+```bash
+# Server
+docker run --rm -d \
+  --name gitnexus-server \
+  -p 4747:4747 \
+  -v gitnexus-data:/data/gitnexus \
+  ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus:latest
+
+# Web UI
+docker run --rm -d \
+  --name gitnexus-web \
+  -p 4173:4173 \
+  ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus-web:latest
+```
+
+Optional env file (override image tags, container names, ports, workspace dir):
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+docker compose --env-file .env up -d
+```
+
+### Versioning & supply-chain protection
+
+The Docker images are version-locked to the npm package:
+
+- Stable images are **only published from `vX.Y.Z` git tags** (via `docker.yml`
+  triggered directly by the tag push), and the workflow refuses to build unless
+  the tag exactly matches `gitnexus/package.json`'s version. So
+  `ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus:1.6.2` (and its Docker Hub mirror
+  `akonlabs/gitnexus:1.6.2`) is byte-for-byte the same release as
+  `npm install gitnexus@1.6.2` — no drift, no floating builds from `main`.
+  Both registries receive the same digest from a single build step, so you can
+  pull from either and the signature verifies identically.
+- Release-candidate images (e.g. `:1.7.0-rc.1`) are published alongside each
+  RC npm release. They are built by `release-candidate.yml` calling `docker.yml`
+  as a reusable workflow after the RC tag is created and pushed.
+- `:latest` is auto-promoted only from non-prerelease tags by the Docker
+  metadata action, so it always points at a real, npm-published version.
+
+Both images are signed with [Cosign keyless signing][cosign-keyless] using the
+workflow's GitHub OIDC identity, and shipped with build provenance and SBOM
+attestations. **This is your protection against supply-chain attacks**: even if
+an attacker republishes a same-named image elsewhere (or somehow pushes to a
+typo-squatted registry), they cannot forge a Cosign signature tied to
+`abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus`'s `docker.yml`. Always verify before pulling into
+sensitive environments:
+
+**Stable releases** — signed from the `v*` tag ref:
+
+```bash
+cosign verify ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus:1.6.2 \
+  --certificate-identity-regexp '^https://github\.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus/\.github/workflows/docker\.yml@refs/tags/v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9.]+)?$' \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
+
+# Same signature verifies the Docker Hub mirror (identical digest):
+cosign verify docker.io/akonlabs/gitnexus:1.6.2 \
+  --certificate-identity-regexp '^https://github\.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus/\.github/workflows/docker\.yml@refs/tags/v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9.]+)?$' \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
+```
+
+The regex pins the certificate identity to this repo's `docker.yml` workflow
+**run from a `v*` tag** — rejecting unsigned images, images signed by other
+workflows, and images signed from unprotected refs. It is identical for both
+registries because both sets of tags were signed at the same digest in one
+workflow run.
+
+**Release candidates** — signed from `refs/heads/main` (the caller's ref when
+`release-candidate.yml` invokes `docker.yml` as a reusable workflow):
+
+```bash
+cosign verify ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus:1.7.0-rc.1 \
+  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus/.github/workflows/docker.yml@refs/heads/main' \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
+```
+
+You can also inspect the build provenance and SBOM:
+
+```bash
+cosign download attestation ghcr.io/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus:1.6.2 \
+  --predicate-type https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1
+```
+
+#### Kubernetes: enforce signatures at admission
+
+For Kubernetes deployments, ship the bundled
+[`ClusterImagePolicy`](deploy/kubernetes/cluster-image-policy.yaml) so the
+[Sigstore policy-controller][policy-controller] rejects any GitNexus pod whose
+image is not signed by this repo's `docker.yml` running from a `vX.Y.Z` tag —
+the same identity the `cosign verify` snippet above pins.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install the controller (one-time, cluster-wide)
+helm repo add sigstore https://sigstore.github.io/helm-charts && helm repo update
+helm install policy-controller -n cosign-system --create-namespace \
+  sigstore/policy-controller
+
+# 2. Opt your namespace in
+kubectl label namespace <your-ns> policy.sigstore.dev/include=true
+
+# 3. Apply the policy
+kubectl apply -f deploy/kubernetes/cluster-image-policy.yaml
+```
+
+After this, attempting to deploy an unsigned image — or one signed by anything
+other than `abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus`'s `docker.yml` at a `v*` tag — fails the
+admission webhook before a pod is ever created. This turns the verifiable
+signature into an enforced policy, which is the supply-chain control most
+clusters actually need.
+

+### Files
+
+- [Dockerfile.web](Dockerfile.web) — builds `gitnexus-shared` and `gitnexus-web`, then serves the production frontend.
+- [Dockerfile.cli](Dockerfile.cli) — builds the CLI/server (with its native deps) and runs `gitnexus serve --host 0.0.0.0`.
+- [docker-compose.yaml](docker-compose.yaml) — starts both signed images side by side.
+- [.env.example](.env.example) — overrides for image names, container names, ports, and the workspace mount.
+
 The web UI uses the same indexing pipeline as the CLI but runs entirely in WebAssembly (Tree-sitter WASM, LadybugDB WASM, in-browser embeddings). It's great for quick exploration but limited by browser memory for larger repos.
 
 **Local Backend Mode:** Run `gitnexus serve` and open the web UI locally — it auto-detects the server and shows all your indexed repos, with full AI chat support. No need to re-upload or re-index. The agent's tools (Cypher queries, search, code navigation) route through the backend HTTP API automatically.

+# Using GitNexus across gRPC microservices
+
+## When to use this guide
+
+This guide is for teams whose product lives in **several separate Git repositories** — one per service — and whose services talk to each other over **gRPC** (possibly alongside HTTP and message topics). GitNexus indexes each repo independently, then a _group_ stitches the per-repo indexes into a single cross-repo view that the `impact`, `query`, and `context` tools can traverse. If your services live in one monorepo, much of this still applies — set each service as a member of a group and use the `service` prefix to scope queries — but the walkthrough assumes the harder multi-repo case.
+
+## Mental model
+
+- Each repository has its own `.gitnexus/` index (a LadybugDB graph of symbols, relationships, processes). `gitnexus analyze` in each repo produces that index completely independently.
+- A **group** is a higher-level construct stored at `~/.gitnexus/groups/<group>/` that references the per-repo indexes by their registry name.
+- Sync-time extractors walk each member repo and emit **contracts** — provider or consumer records keyed by a canonical `contractId` (`grpc::auth.AuthService/Login`, `http::GET::/orders`, etc.).
+- The sync step matches providers and consumers that share a `contractId` and writes **cross-links** to `<groupDir>/contracts.json`. Those cross-links are what lets `impact({repo: "@<group>", target: "X"})` hop from one repo into another.
+- Contracts come from three places: automatic contract extractors (`grpc-extractor`, `http-route-extractor`, `topic-extractor`), a manifest escape hatch (`config.links` in `group.yaml`), and — for same-name symbol matches where no contract is declared — the exact-match matching cascade in [`matching.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/matching.ts).
+- Each repo stays editable and re-indexable on its own. Re-run `gitnexus analyze` in a repo when it changes, then `gitnexus group sync <group>` to refresh `contracts.json`. `gitnexus group status` reports which members are stale.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- GitNexus installed and runnable as `gitnexus` or `npx gitnexus` (see the root [README.md](../../README.md)).
+- Each service repository checked out locally. No requirement that they share a parent directory — the group references them by registry name.
+- Write access to `~/.gitnexus/` (the default gitnexus home; see `getDefaultGitnexusDir` in [`storage.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/storage.ts)).
+
+## Step-by-step walkthrough
+
+The example uses three services — a TypeScript API gateway, a Go orders service, and a Python inventory service — with gRPC between them. The gateway is an `orders` consumer; the orders service is both an `orders` provider and an `inventory` consumer; the inventory service is an `inventory` provider.
+
+### 1. Index each repository
+
+Run `analyze` from inside each service repo (or pass the path). The CLI surface lives in [`gitnexus/src/cli/analyze.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/cli/analyze.ts) and is wired in [`gitnexus/src/cli/index.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/cli/index.ts).
+
+```bash
+cd ~/code/gateway && npx gitnexus analyze
+cd ~/code/orders  && npx gitnexus analyze
+cd ~/code/inventory && npx gitnexus analyze
+```
+
+Useful flags:
+
+- `--force` — reindex even if up to date.
+- `--embeddings` — generate embedding vectors (needed only if you want semantic search; the exact-match cross-repo cascade does **not** need them).
+- `--name <alias>` — register the repo under a specific alias when two repos share a basename (e.g. two `api/` folders).
+- `--skip-git` — index a checkout that isn't a git repo.
+
+Each run writes a `.gitnexus/` folder in the repo and registers the repo in `~/.gitnexus/registry.json`. Confirm with `npx gitnexus list`.
+
+### 2. Author `group.yaml`
+
+Create the group directory and edit the config. Either use the CLI scaffolder or write the file directly — both produce the same shape consumed by [`config-parser.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/config-parser.ts).
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus group create payments-platform
+# or manually:
+mkdir -p ~/.gitnexus/groups/payments-platform
+$EDITOR   ~/.gitnexus/groups/payments-platform/group.yaml
+```
+
+Minimal working `group.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+version: 1
+name: payments-platform
+description: Gateway + orders + inventory (gRPC)
+
+repos:
+  gateway: gateway
+  orders: orders
+  inventory: inventory
+
+# Only add explicit links when the automatic extractors miss something —
+# see "When automatic extraction isn't enough" below.
+links: []
+
+packages: {}
+
+detect:
+  http: true
+  grpc: true
+  topics: true
+  shared_libs: true
+  embedding_fallback: false
+
+matching:
+  bm25_threshold: 0.7
+  embedding_threshold: 0.65
+  max_candidates_per_step: 3
+```
+
+Field notes (schema in [`types.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/types.ts)):
+
+- `version` — must be `1`. The parser rejects anything else.
+- `name` — required; used for the group directory name and all CLI / MCP calls.
+- `repos` — a mapping from **group path** (a logical name you choose; can be a hierarchy like `backend/orders`) to **registry name** (the name shown by `npx gitnexus list`). Both sides appear throughout the tooling: contract rows use the group path; `@<group>/<groupPath>` routes tools to a single member.
+- `links` — optional manifest escape hatch, one entry per explicit cross-repo contract. Validated by the parser: `from` and `to` must be known repo paths, `type` must be one of `http | grpc | topic | lib | custom`, and `role` must be `provider | consumer`.
+- `detect` — toggles per extractor family. Defaults (set in `config-parser.ts`) turn `http`, `grpc`, `topics`, and `shared_libs` on; disable the ones you don't use to speed up sync.
+- `matching` — thresholds for the matching cascade. The exact match is always run; other strategies depend on indexer state.
+
+### 3. Sync the group
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus group sync payments-platform --verbose
+```
+
+What this does (see [`sync.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/sync.ts)):
+
+1. Opens each member's per-repo LadybugDB.
+2. Runs the HTTP, gRPC, and topic extractors against the source files.
+3. Applies manifest `links` through [`manifest-extractor.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/manifest-extractor.ts).
+4. Runs the exact-match cascade, joining providers and consumers that share a normalized `contractId`.
+5. Writes `contracts.json` in the group directory.
+
+Flags:
+
+- `--exact-only` — stop after the exact cascade; skip BM25 and embedding fallback.
+- `--skip-embeddings` — run exact plus BM25 but not embedding-based matching.
+- `--allow-stale` — don't warn if a member's index is stale.
+- `--json` — machine-readable output.
+
+The same operation is available over MCP as `group_sync({ name: "payments-platform" })` — see [`tools.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/mcp/tools.ts).
+
+### 4. Inspect the registry
+
+Use `gitnexus group contracts` for the CLI view or read the `gitnexus://group/<name>/contracts` MCP resource for the same data.
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus group contracts payments-platform --type grpc --json
+```
+
+A shortened response:
+
+```json
+{
+  "contracts": [
+    {
+      "contractId": "grpc::orders.OrderService/PlaceOrder",
+      "type": "grpc",
+      "role": "provider",
+      "repo": "orders",
+      "symbolRef": { "filePath": "internal/grpc/order_server.go", "name": "RegisterOrderServiceServer" },
+      "confidence": 0.8,
+      "meta": { "service": "OrderService", "method": "PlaceOrder", "source": "go_register" }
+    },
+    {
+      "contractId": "grpc::orders.OrderService/PlaceOrder",
+      "type": "grpc",
+      "role": "consumer",
+      "repo": "gateway",
+      "symbolRef": { "filePath": "src/clients/orders.ts", "name": "OrderServiceClient" },
+      "confidence": 0.75,
+      "meta": { "service": "OrderService", "source": "ts_generated_client" }
+    }
+  ],
+  "crossLinks": [
+    {
+      "from": { "repo": "gateway", "symbolUid": "…", "symbolRef": { "filePath": "src/clients/orders.ts", "name": "OrderServiceClient" } },
+      "to":   { "repo": "orders",  "symbolUid": "…", "symbolRef": { "filePath": "internal/grpc/order_server.go", "name": "RegisterOrderServiceServer" } },
+      "type": "grpc",
+      "contractId": "grpc::orders.OrderService/PlaceOrder",
+      "matchType": "exact",
+      "confidence": 1.0
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Staleness of the underlying indexes shows up in `npx gitnexus group status payments-platform` or the `gitnexus://group/<name>/status` resource.
+
+### 5. Run cross-repo impact with `@<group>` routing
+
+From any shell (you do **not** have to `cd` into a member repo), the normal `impact` / `query` / `context` tools accept `repo: "@<group>"` to fan out across all members, or `repo: "@<group>/<memberPath>"` to target one member. Routing is implemented in [`resolve-at-member.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/resolve-at-member.ts) and described in [`tools.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/mcp/tools.ts).
+
+Example MCP calls:
+
+```json
+{"tool": "impact", "arguments": {
+  "repo": "@payments-platform/orders",
+  "target": "PlaceOrder",
+  "direction": "upstream",
+  "crossDepth": 2
+}}
+```
+
+```json
+{"tool": "query", "arguments": {
+  "repo": "@payments-platform",
+  "query": "retry logic around PlaceOrder"
+}}
+```
+
+The CLI equivalents still exist for scripting:
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus group impact payments-platform \
+  --repo orders --target PlaceOrder --direction upstream --cross-depth 2
+```
+
+Phase 1 walks within the anchor member; Phase 2 hops across the Contract Bridge wherever a cross-link endpoint matches an impacted symbol. See [`cross-impact.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/cross-impact.ts) for the bridge query.
+
+## How gRPC extraction works
+
+`GrpcExtractor` ([`grpc-extractor.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/grpc-extractor.ts)) runs two passes per member repo:
+
+1. **Proto map.** Every `**/*.proto` file is parsed to enumerate `service Foo { rpc Bar(...) }` blocks and (transitively) resolve the package name. Each RPC method becomes a provider contract with `contractId = grpc::<package>.<Service>/<Method>` and `confidence = 0.85`. Parsing uses the vendored `tree-sitter-proto` grammar when available and falls back to a length-preserving manual parser (`extractServiceBlocks`) otherwise, so `.proto` extraction works on platforms where the grammar fails to build.
+2. **Source scan.** Every source file whose extension matches [`GRPC_SCAN_GLOB`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/grpc-patterns/index.ts) is parsed by its language plugin:
+
+| Language | Provider signal | Consumer signal |
+|----------|-----------------|-----------------|
+| Go ([`go.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/grpc-patterns/go.ts)) | `pb.RegisterXxxServer(...)`, `pb.UnimplementedXxxServer` embedded in struct | `pb.NewXxxClient(conn)` |
+| Java ([`java.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/grpc-patterns/java.ts)) | `extends XxxServiceGrpc.XxxServiceImplBase` (with or without `@GrpcService`) | `XxxServiceGrpc.newBlockingStub(...)`, `newStub(...)` |
+| Python ([`python.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/grpc-patterns/python.ts)) | `add_XxxServicer_to_server(...)` (bare or `_pb2_grpc.` attribute form) | `XxxStub(channel)` (ignores `Mock`/`Test`/`Fake`/`Stub`) |
+| Node / TS ([`node.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/grpc-patterns/node.ts)) | NestJS `@GrpcMethod('Service','Method')` | `@GrpcClient` field typed `XxxServiceClient`, `client.getService<X>('Service')`, `new XxxServiceClient(...)`, `new foo.bar.XxxService(...)` in files that call `loadPackageDefinition` |
+
+For each source-scan detection the extractor looks up the short service name in the proto map and picks:
+
+- `grpc::<package>.<Service>/<Method>` when a method is named and the service resolves against the proto map,
+- `grpc::<package>.<Service>/*` (wildcard) when only the service is known, or
+- `grpc::<ServiceName>/*` when no `.proto` is available at all.
+
+Provider detections land at confidence 0.8 (with proto) or 0.65 (without); consumers at 0.75 or 0.55. NestJS `@GrpcMethod` is fixed at 0.8 because the decorator is self-describing.
+
+### Matching
+
+`matching.ts` lowercases the package/service segment before comparing contract ids, so bindings that capitalize names differently (`auth.AuthService` vs `auth.authservice`) still match. Method names are compared case-sensitively because gRPC's wire path is case-sensitive. Service-only wildcards (`grpc::pkg.Svc/*`) match any method on the same service during cross-linking.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- **Ambiguous proto resolution.** If a short service name exists in more than one `.proto` file and the source-scan hit can't be narrowed down by shared directory segments (`resolveProtoConflict` refuses to guess), the extractor skips contract emission and logs a warning.
+- **Proto packages must be resolvable locally.** Transitive imports that point outside the repo produce an empty package segment, which means the contract id collapses to `grpc::<Service>/<Method>`. Cross-repo matches still work as long as both sides agree on the empty package.
+- **Rewrite rules are not implemented.** If the provider repo writes `grpc::orders.OrderService/PlaceOrder` and the consumer repo writes `grpc::orderspb.OrderService/PlaceOrder`, they won't cross-link automatically. Use `config.links` to declare the correspondence (see below).
+- **One sync = one snapshot.** Contracts are extracted against the indexed snapshot of each repo. Re-index first, then re-sync; the `status` command and resource surface staleness.
+
+## When automatic extraction isn't enough
+
+The escape hatch is the `links` list in `group.yaml`, handled by [`ManifestExtractor`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/manifest-extractor.ts). Each entry is a **one-directional** provider/consumer declaration:
+
+```yaml
+version: 1
+name: payments-platform
+repos:
+  gateway: gateway
+  orders: orders
+  inventory: inventory
+
+links:
+  # Explicit gRPC method: use when naming mismatches stop the
+  # automatic matcher from cross-linking.
+  - from: gateway
+    to: orders
+    type: grpc
+    contract: OrderService/PlaceOrder
+    role: consumer
+
+  # Service-level link when you don't want to enumerate methods.
+  - from: orders
+    to: inventory
+    type: grpc
+    contract: InventoryService
+    role: consumer
+
+  # Works for HTTP too — use `METHOD::/path` form for the exact
+  # handler, or just `/path` for a method-agnostic wildcard.
+  - from: gateway
+    to: orders
+    type: http
+    contract: POST::/orders
+    role: consumer
+```
+
+What the manifest extractor does (see [`manifest-extractor.ts`](../../gitnexus/src/core/group/extractors/manifest-extractor.ts)):
+
+1. Builds a canonical `contractId` with `buildContractId` — the same canonicalization used by the automatic extractors, so manifest links cross-match automatic contracts on the other side.
+2. Tries to resolve each side to a real graph symbol (the `Route` node for HTTP, a `Function|Method` / `Class|Interface` for gRPC, a `Package|Module` for `lib`).
+3. If resolution fails, falls back to a deterministic synthetic uid (`manifest::<repo>::<contractId>`) so both sides still line up in cross-impact — name-only links still work when the symbol isn't in the graph.
+4. Emits both a provider and a consumer `StoredContract` (confidence `1.0`, `source: "manifest"`) and a `CrossLink` with `matchType: "manifest"`.
+
+Use `links` for exactly the cases the extractor can't infer: different package names across repos (see #701), hand-rolled transports, cases where the provider repo isn't checked out locally but you still want a record, or any contract whose provider and consumer simply don't share a surface the extractors know how to pattern-match.
+
+History: the manifest extractor used to be silently skipped by the sync pipeline; that was fixed in [#827](https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus/pull/827) (tracking issue #826). If you ever see `config.links` with zero cross-links in `contracts.json`, make sure you're on a build that includes that fix, then re-run `group sync`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+1. **`contracts.json` is empty after a sync.** Either no member repo contained a recognizable gRPC pattern, or the extractors are disabled in `detect`. Confirm `detect.grpc: true` and re-run with `--verbose`.
+2. **A known provider/consumer pair doesn't cross-link.** Most common cause: the package segment differs. Check the raw contract ids with `gitnexus group contracts <name> --unmatched` — if you see two same-method contracts with different package prefixes, add a manifest `links:` entry to bridge them (no automatic rewrite rules yet).
+3. **`matchType: "manifest"` is missing entirely.** The extractor needs `config.links` to be non-empty and the sync pipeline to actually call it — verify you're on a post-#827 build. Empty contract rows for manifest links usually mean `resolveSymbol` couldn't find a graph match; the synthetic uid still lets cross-impact work, it just won't carry a file path.
+4. **Ambiguous proto warnings.** Look for `[grpc-extractor] Ambiguous proto resolution` in the sync logs; that means a service name exists in multiple `.proto` files under the same repo and the path-distance heuristic couldn't pick a winner. Resolve by renaming the service or declaring the intended pairing in `config.links`.
+5. **Cross-impact says "stale".** Both sides need a fresh per-repo index _and_ a fresh group sync. Order matters: `gitnexus analyze` in each changed repo, then `gitnexus group sync <name>`. Use `gitnexus group status <name>` to see which side is behind.

+ * `ParsedFile` — the per-file artifact produced by `ScopeExtractor`
+ * (RFC §3.2 Phase 1; Ring 2 PKG #919).
+ *
+ * The boundary between Phase 1 (extraction, per-file, parallelizable) and
+ * Phase 2 (finalize, cross-file). One `ParsedFile` is emitted per source
+ * file; the finalize orchestrator (#921) collects them into a workspace-
+ * wide set and feeds them to the shared `finalize` algorithm (#915).
+ *
+ * ## Shape
+ *
+ *   - `scopes`           — every `Scope` created for this file, in tree-
+ *                          topological order (module first, then children).
+ *                          `Scope.bindings` carry **local-only** bindings at
+ *                          this stage; finalize merges imports/wildcards on top.
+ *   - `parsedImports`    — raw `ParsedImport[]` for this file; finalize
+ *                          resolves each to a concrete `ImportEdge`.
+ *   - `localDefs`        — defs structurally declared in this file. A
+ *                          superset of every `Scope.ownedDefs` union.
+ *                          Listed separately so `finalize` can dedup-index
+ *                          without re-walking scopes.
+ *   - `referenceSites`   — pre-resolution usage facts; populated by the
+ *                          resolution phase into `ReferenceIndex`.
+ *
+ * ## What `ParsedFile` deliberately does NOT carry
+ *
+ *   - Linked `ImportEdge`s. Those are finalize output.
+ *   - A `ScopeTree` instance. Callers build one from `scopes` (cheap —
+ *     `buildScopeTree(parsedFile.scopes)`). Keeping the ParsedFile flat
+ *     makes IPC serialization from worker threads straightforward.
+ *   - Merged module-scope bindings. Finalize owns that materialization.
+ *
+ * ## Compatibility with `FinalizeFile`
+ *
+ * `FinalizeFile` (defined in `./finalize-algorithm.ts`) is a structural
+ * subset of `ParsedFile` — `filePath`, `moduleScope`, `parsedImports`,
+ * `localDefs`. A `ParsedFile` is trivially convertible to a `FinalizeFile`
+ * by picking those four fields, so the finalize orchestrator threads
+ * ParsedFile through to the shared algorithm without shape-shifting.
+ *
+ * ## Source-of-truth invariant
+ *
+ * `ParsedFile` is the single semantic model consumed by both the legacy
+ * DAG (`gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/` outside `scope-resolution/`) and
+ * the scope-resolution pipeline (`gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/scope-resolution/`).
+ * Downstream passes MUST NOT build a parallel parse representation; if
+ * a pass needs AST-level facts that `ParsedFile` doesn't expose, it
+ * should reuse the orchestrator's `treeCache` rather than re-invoke
+ * `parser.parse(...)` on its own. See the
+ * `ScopeResolver` contract (`gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/scope-resolution/contract/scope-resolver.ts`)

+/**
+ * `lookupCore` — the shared 7-step canonical resolution algorithm
+ * (RFC §4.2; Ring 2 SHARED #917).
+ *
+ * Pure function. Given a name, a starting scope, and per-kind parameters,
+ * walks lexical scopes + optional type-binding MRO + optional owner
+ * contributor + global qualified-name fallback, and returns a ranked
+ * `Resolution[]` with per-candidate evidence.
+ *
+ * All three public registries (`ClassRegistry` / `MethodRegistry` /
+ * `FieldRegistry`) dispatch into this function, differing only in the
+ * parameters they pass. The CHOICE of which steps fire is expressed
+ * through `LookupParams`, not through different algorithms per kind.
+ *
+ * ## Algorithm (RFC §4.2, verbatim names)
+ *
+ * **Step 1 — Lexical scope-chain walk.** From `startScope`, walk
+ *   parent-ward. At each scope, consult `scope.bindings.get(name)`:
+ *     - Filter candidates whose `def.type ∈ acceptedKinds`.
+ *     - For each surviving candidate, record a raw signal with the
+ *       binding's origin + the current scope-chain depth.
+ *     - **Hard shadow.** If `bindings.get(name)` is non-empty (including
+ *       non-kind-matching candidates), stop walking. The name is
+ *       lexically bound here; outer scopes are not consulted.
+ *
+ * **Step 2 — Type-binding resolution.** When `useReceiverTypeBinding`
+ *   is true, resolve the receiver's type at `startScope` (from
+ *   `scope.typeBindings`), then walk the MRO via
+ *   `MethodDispatchIndex.mroFor(ownerDefId)`. Membership per owner comes
+ *   through `RegistryContext.methodDispatch` + owner lookups into
+ *   `scope.ownedDefs`; each hit records a raw signal with the owner's
+ *   MRO depth.
+ *
+ * **Step 3 — Owner-scoped contributor.** When
+ *   `params.ownerScopedContributor` is present, merge its `byName(name)`
+ *   hits with `origin: 'local'` (they are declared directly on the
+ *   receiver). Distinct from Step 2 — Step 2 walks the MRO; Step 3 only
+ *   looks at the directly-declared owner members.
+ *
+ * **Step 4 — Kind filter (emit `kind-match` evidence).** Already
+ *   applied during Steps 1-3; this step just adds a `kind-match` signal
+ *   at weight 0 to every candidate for debuggability (so the evidence
+ *   array is self-describing).
+ *
+ * **Step 5 — Arity filter.** Call `providers.arityCompatibility(callsite,
+ *   def)` per surviving candidate. Verdicts: `compatible` / `unknown` /
+ *   `incompatible`. If at least one candidate is `compatible`, drop
+ *   `incompatible` ones. Otherwise keep all (the penalty weight alone
+ *   will rank them lower but they remain in the result).
+ *
+ * **Step 6 — Global fallback.** When Steps 1-3 produced **no**
+ *   candidates and the name contains a `.`, consult the
+ *   `QualifiedNameIndex` via `lookupQualified` — see §4.5. The `scope`
+ *   argument is NOT passed here because global lookup is scope-agnostic.
+ *
+ * **Step 7 — Rank + tie-break.** Compose evidence, compute confidence
+ *   (sum capped at 1.0), sort by the RFC Appendix B cascade.
+ *
+ * ## What this module does NOT do
+ *
+ *   - No AST reads (pure data in, pure data out).
+ *   - No `gitnexus/` imports.
+ *   - No language switches. Language-specific behavior flows exclusively
+ *     through `providers.*` and the `params` object.
+ *   - No caching. Callers that want memoization can wrap this function.

+ *
+ * Generalizes the `enclosingFunctions` pattern from closed PR #902 to
+ * arbitrary `ScopeKind`s. Owns the (parent ↔ children) relationship
+ * derived from each `Scope.parent` pointer, and validates the structural
+ * invariants a well-formed scope tree must satisfy.
+ *
+ * Invariants enforced at build time (throw on violation):
+ *
+ *   - Every non-`Module` scope has a non-null parent.
+ *   - Every parent pointer references a scope that was also supplied to
+ *     `buildScopeTree`.
+ *   - Parent range **strictly contains** child range.
+ *   - Sibling ranges under the same parent do not overlap.
+ *   - Parent and child live in the same `filePath`. (Cross-file parent
+ *     pointers would be a category error — a `File` scope is not the
+ *     parent of another file's scopes; imports do that job.)
+ *
+ * Satisfies the `ScopeLookup` contract (defined in `./types.js`), so
+ * `resolveTypeRef` (#916) and the scope-aware registries (#917) can take a
+ * `ScopeTree` directly without adapters.

  * configuration, icon subset bundling) without touching every component.
+ *
+ * --- Why a local `Github` icon? ---
+ *
+ * Lucide removed all brand icons in v1
+ * (https://lucide.dev/guide/react/migration,
+ *  https://github.com/lucide-icons/lucide/blob/main/BRAND_LOGOS_STATEMENT.md),
+ * so `import { Github } from 'lucide-react'` no longer compiles.
+ *
+ * We replace it with the official mark from Primer Octicons — the icon set
+ * GitHub itself uses on github.com — copied verbatim. This was preferred over
+ * the alternatives because it:
+ *
+ *   1. Is the canonical GitHub-maintained source for the mark, kept in sync
+ *      with what users see on github.com.
+ *   2. Is MIT-licensed (Copyright (c) GitHub Inc.,
+ *      https://github.com/primer/octicons/blob/main/LICENSE), so embedding the
+ *      path data is permitted.
+ *   3. Adds zero new npm dependencies (vs. `@primer/octicons-react`,
+ *      `react-icons`, or `simple-icons`), keeping the web bundle lean.
+ *   4. Ships per-size hand-tuned glyphs (16 + 24) — the same approach Primer
+ *      uses — so the mark stays crisp at the small `h-4 w-4` sites in the
+ *      header and onboarding screens as well as at full size.
+ *
+ * Trademark note: the GitHub mark is a registered trademark of GitHub, Inc.
+ * (https://brand.github.com/foundations/logo). The MIT license covers our
+ * right to copy the SVG; trademark rules still govern *use*. We use the mark

+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [1.6.3] - 2026-04-24
+
+### Added
+
+- **Cross-repo impact analysis** — `@repo` MCP routing plus group resources let impact queries span multiple indexed repositories in a group (#794, #984)
+- **Python scope-based call resolution** — registry-primary flip, performance, and generalization work from RFC #909 Ring 3 (#980)
+- **C# scope-resolution migration** — C# now runs on the registry-primary path alongside Python (#934, #1019)
+- **RFC #909 Ring 1 & Ring 2 scope-resolution infrastructure** — the shared foundation for language-agnostic scope resolution:
+  - Scope-resolution types and constants, `LanguageProvider` hook extension (#910, #911, #949, #950)
+  - `ScopeTree` + `PositionIndex` + `makeScopeId` (#912, #961)
+  - `DefIndex` / `ModuleScopeIndex` / `QualifiedNameIndex` (#913, #958)
+  - `MethodDispatchIndex` materialized view over `HeritageMap` (#914, #960)
+  - `resolveTypeRef` strict single-return type resolver (#916, #959)
+  - SCC-aware finalize with bounded fixpoint (#915, #962)
+  - `ClassRegistry` / `MethodRegistry` / `FieldRegistry` + 7-step lookup (#917, #963)
+  - Shadow-mode diff + aggregate, parity harness + static dashboard (#918, #923, #951, #972)
+  - `ScopeExtractor` driver with 5-pass CaptureMatch → ParsedFile (#919, #965)
+  - `ScopeExtractor` wired into parse-worker + processor (#920, #969)
+  - `finalize-orchestrator` materializes `ScopeResolutionIndexes` (#921, #970)
+  - Per-language `resolveImportTarget` adapter (#922, #971)
+  - `REGISTRY_PRIMARY_<LANG>` per-language flag reader (#924, #968)
+  - `emit-references` drains `ReferenceIndex` to graph edges (#925, #973)
+- **`gitnexus analyze --name <alias>`** with duplicate-name guard in the repo registry (#955)
+- **`gitnexus remove <target>`** unindexes a registered repo by name or path (#664, #1003)
+- **Auto-infer registry name** from `git remote.origin.url` when `--name` is omitted (#981)
+- **Sibling-clone drift detection** — indexed repos are fingerprinted by remote URL so duplicate registrations are caught before graph divergence (#982)
+- **Configurable large-file skip threshold** — the walker's 512 KB default is now overridable via `GITNEXUS_MAX_FILE_SIZE` (KB) or `gitnexus analyze --max-file-size <kb>`. Values are clamped to the 32 MB tree-sitter ceiling, invalid inputs fall back to the default with a one-time warning, and the CLI banner reports the effective post-clamp threshold when an override is active (#991, #1044, #1045)
+- **`GITNEXUS_INDEX_TEST_DIRS` opt-in** for `__tests__` / `__mocks__` traversal (#771, #1046)
+- **`analyze` embedding preservation** — existing embeddings are preserved by default, `--force` regenerates them, `--drop-embeddings` opts out entirely (CLI + HTTP API) (#1055)
+- **Structural embedding chunking** with data-driven `CHUNKING_RULES` dispatch, replacing the flat line-based split (#987)
+- **PHP HTTP consumer detection** for the extractor catalogue (#993)
+- **Per-phase search timing** instrumentation across the query pipeline (#953)
+- **MCP disambiguation ranking** — `context` / `impact` candidates are ranked and expose `kind` / `file_path` hints (#888)
+- **Docker images for UI + CLI/server** shipped via `docker-compose` with cosign signing (#967), RC image builds (#978), and GHCR → Docker Hub mirroring (#1029)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Go CALLS edges for receiver methods** — worker source IDs now align with the main pipeline, restoring receiver-method call edges (#1043)
+- **Node 22 DEP0151 warning** from `tree-sitter-c-sharp` import silenced (#1013, #1049)
+- **FTS index bootstrap** tries a local `LOAD` before `INSTALL` so offline/air-gapped runs no longer fail on network errors (#726)
+- **FTS ensure failures** are no longer cached and are invalidated on pool teardown (#1006)
+- **`groupImpact` local-impact errors** now bubble to the caller instead of being swallowed (#1004, #1007)
+- **Friendly error** when a group name is not found, with regression test for #903 (#989)
+- **`bm25` results** return FTS-matched symbols instead of an arbitrary `LIMIT 3` slice (#806)
+- **Embedding AST traversal** switched from recursion to iterative DFS, fixing stack overflow on deeply nested files (#990)
+- **React component path detection** runs before lowercasing, so mixed-case `.jsx`/`.tsx` files are recognised (#260)
+- **`detect-changes` ENOBUFS** by setting `maxBuffer` on `git` / `rg` `execFileSync` invocations (#957)
+- **`detect-changes` in direct CLI** — command was wired to MCP only; now exposed on the CLI as well (#892)
+- **CLI gitnexus markers** — `<!-- gitnexus:* -->` is only matched at section position, no longer inside code/prose (#1041, #1042)
+- **`opencode.json` setup** preserves existing comments and config during install (#998)
+- **Sequential parser logging** — skipped languages are now logged instead of silently dropped (#1021)
+- **`cli-e2e` fixture isolation** from the shared mini-repo, plus stabilised `rel-csv-split` stream teardown on Windows via `expect.poll` (#954, #1052)
+- **Docker** — RC build guarded against empty `vtag`, `inputs.tag` used to detect `workflow_call` context, web builder stage now copies `gitnexus/package.json`, base image switched from alpine to debian (#983, #996, #997, #1014)
+- **CI** — reusable `docker.yml` now inherits secrets from `release-candidate.yml` (#1054)
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`setup` config I/O unified** on `mergeJsoncFile` across all writers (#1031)
+- **Docker CI** gains a retry wrapper for `build-push` with visibility and hardened shell
+
+### Chore / Dependencies
+
+- Dependency bumps: `graphology` 0.25.4 → 0.26.0 (#1001), `uuid` 13 → 14 (#1000), `@huggingface/transformers` (#1035), `@types/node` (#1002), `@types/uuid` (#1016), `vitest` 4.1.4 → 4.1.5 (#1017), `@vitest/coverage-v8` (#1018)
+- gitnexus-web dependency bumps: `vite` 5.4.21 → 6.4.2 → 7.3.2 → 8.0.10 + `vitest` 4 (#1061, #1062, #1063), `lucide-react` 0.562.0 → 1.11.0 with local GitHub SVG fallback (#1038), `@langchain/anthropic` 1.3.10 → 1.3.27 (#1039), `@babel/types` (#1037)
+- gitnexus-shared dependency bumps: `typescript` (#1034)
+- GitHub Actions bumps: `actions/setup-node` 6.3.0 → 6.4.0 (#1033)
+- Documentation: repo-wide `DoD.md` Definition of Done (#1032), gRPC microservices group guide (#906, #994), `group add` / `group remove` README fixes (#1020), CLI docs include `--skip-git` (#750), README Discord link updated
+
+## [1.6.2] - 2026-04-18
+
+### Added
+
+- **Docker support** — containerized ingestion and MCP serving for reproducible runs on CI and container platforms (#848)
+- **Language-agnostic heritage extractor** — config+factory pattern for class-heritage extraction (EXTENDS / IMPLEMENTS), completing the extractor refactor alongside method/field/call/variable (#890)
+- **Language-agnostic call extractor** — config+factory pattern that collapses ~225 lines of inline parse-worker logic into declarative per-language configs (#877)
+- **Language-agnostic variable extractor** — structured metadata for `Const` / `Static` / `Variable` nodes via config+factory pattern (#878)
+- **AST-aware embedding chunking** — offset-based splitting preserves symbol boundaries, improving semantic search precision on large files (#889)
+- **HTTP consumer detection for jQuery and axios object-form** — `$.ajax` / `$.get` / `$.post` and `axios({ url, method })` now recognized as HTTP call sites (#887)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Python external dotted imports** — avoid spurious same-file matches when an import path like `foo.bar.baz` refers to a third-party module (#899)
+- **Worker warnings no longer terminate ingestion** — non-fatal parser warnings keep the pipeline running instead of aborting the run (#900, #261)
+- **Global-install upgrade `ENOTEMPTY`** — devendored `tree-sitter-proto` install lifecycle + preinstall cleanup so `npm i -g gitnexus@latest` succeeds on top of an older install (#843, #846)
+- **`env.cacheDir`** now defaults to a user-writable location, unblocking ingestion on systems where the install directory is read-only (#845)
+- **Content-hash staleness detection for embeddings** — zero-node rebuilds no longer skip vector-index creation, fixing semantic search after selective re-analysis (#831)
+- **`tree-sitter-c-sharp` version pin** — locked to 0.23.1 to avoid a breaking change in a transitive prerelease (#834)
+- **`release-drafter` v7 CI** — replaced the removed `disable-releaser` flag with `dry-run` so release-note drafts still work
+- **`npm arborist` crash from `tree-sitter-dart`** — switched the dependency URL format so `npm install` no longer crashes on clean installs
+- **Service-group `ManifestExtractor`** — `config.links` now wires the manifest extractor properly, restoring cross-link discovery that had silently dropped to zero
+
+### Changed
+
+- **SemanticModel wired as a first-class resolution input (SM-20)** — `call-processor`, `resolution-context`, `type-env`, and `heritage-map` now consult `table.model.*` directly; 37 internal call sites migrated off the SymbolTable wrapper (#885)
+- **Per-strategy `ImportSemantics` hooks** — `named` / `wildcard-transitive` / `wildcard-leaf` / `namespace` strategies split into composable hooks, replacing the monolithic conditional (Strategies 1–4 of #886)
+- **Class extraction configs moved to `configs/` subdirectory** — per-language class configs now co-locate with the other extractor configs, completing the extractor layer's directory convention (#879)
+- **CLI AI-context trimmed** — duplicated CLAUDE.md block removed from the shipped context, reducing token usage in LLM-consuming workflows (#904)
+- **LLM context files optimized** — AI-consumed documentation tuned for accuracy and token efficiency (#857)
+- **Workflow concurrency standardized** — all CI workflows adopt the consistent concurrency key pattern documented in CONTRIBUTING.md; release-note labeling automated (#837)
+- **E2E status-ready timeout raised** — 45s accommodates parallel-worker startup variance on CI (#908)
+
+### Chore / Dependencies
+
+- **tree-sitter 0.25 upgrade readiness** — daily Dependabot monitor for the upcoming major-version bump (#847)

+## Release candidates
+
+Stable releases publish to the default `latest` dist-tag. When a pull request
+with non-documentation changes merges into `main`, an automated workflow also
+publishes a prerelease build under the `rc` dist-tag, so early adopters can
+try in-flight fixes without waiting for the next stable cut. (Docs-only
+merges are skipped.)
+
+```bash
+# Try the latest release candidate (pre-stable — may change at any time)
+npm install -g gitnexus@rc
+# — or —
+npx gitnexus@rc analyze
+```
+
+Release-candidate versions follow the standard semver prerelease format
+`X.Y.Z-rc.N`, where `X.Y.Z` is the next stable target (bumped from the
+current `latest` by patch by default; `minor` or `major` when kicking off a
+bigger cycle) and `N` increments per published rc. Example sequence:
+`1.6.2-rc.1`, `1.6.2-rc.2`, …, then once `1.6.2` ships stable,
+`1.6.3-rc.1`. See the [Releases page](https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus/releases)
+for the full list; stable `latest` is unaffected.

+### Large files are being skipped
+
+By default the walker skips files larger than **512 KB** (see log line `Skipped N large files (>512KB)`). Raise the threshold via either the CLI flag or the environment variable — both accept a value in **KB**:
+
+```bash
+# CLI flag (takes precedence over the env var)
+npx gitnexus analyze --max-file-size 2048     # skip only files > 2 MB
+
+# Environment variable (persists across commands)
+export GITNEXUS_MAX_FILE_SIZE=2048
+npx gitnexus analyze
+```
+
+Values above **32768 KB (32 MB)** are clamped to the tree-sitter parser ceiling; invalid values fall back to the 512 KB default with a one-time warning. When an override is active, `analyze` prints the effective threshold in its startup banner (e.g. `GITNEXUS_MAX_FILE_SIZE: effective threshold 2048KB (default 512KB)`).

+ * Build tree-sitter-proto native binding.
+ *
+ * Why this script exists:
+ *   tree-sitter-proto is vendored under gitnexus/vendor/tree-sitter-proto/
+ *   and declared as a `file:` optionalDependency. Previously, the vendored
+ *   package had its own `dependencies` and `install` script, which caused
+ *   npm to create `vendor/tree-sitter-proto/node_modules/` and
+ *   `vendor/tree-sitter-proto/build/` during install. Those directories
+ *   blocked `rmdir` on global-install upgrade, producing:
+ *
+ *     ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir
+ *       '.../gitnexus/vendor/tree-sitter-proto/node_modules/node-addon-api'
+ *
+ *   (See https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus/issues/836.)
+ *
+ *   We stripped `dependencies` and the `install` script from the vendored
+ *   package.json, hoisted `node-addon-api` and `node-gyp-build` into
+ *   gitnexus's own optionalDependencies, and moved native compilation here.
+ *
+ * What this does:
+ *   Runs `npx node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/tree-sitter-proto/`
+ *   (which npm creates as a copy of vendor/tree-sitter-proto/ when
+ *   resolving the file: dep). Build output lands in
+ *   `node_modules/tree-sitter-proto/build/Release/tree_sitter_proto_binding.node`
+ *   — under npm-managed territory, safe on upgrade.
+ *
+ *   Mirrors scripts/patch-tree-sitter-swift.cjs. Best-effort: if any
+ *   precondition fails (optional dep absent, no toolchain, --ignore-scripts),
+ *   warn and exit 0 so gitnexus install still succeeds.

+    <!--
+      Static dashboard for the RFC #909 shadow-mode parity report.
+
+      Reads `latest.json` from this directory and renders a per-language
+      parity table. Zero build step, zero runtime dependencies — a
+      single file that any browser or file:// context can open.
+
+      Usage:
+          # from repo root, after a shadow-mode run
+          cp .gitnexus/shadow-parity/latest.json gitnexus/shadow-parity-dashboard/
+          open gitnexus/shadow-parity-dashboard/index.html
+
+      CI artifact wiring (follow-up): the CI job publishes a snapshot
+      of this directory + latest.json as a downloadable bundle per run.
