release: 3.0.0 — lean, audited, opinionated#12
Merged
Conversation
Within hours of v2.1.2 publish, a real user session surfaced a deeper
class of bug: codevira's incremental indexer writes ~8x more vectors
to ChromaDB than necessary, causing slow HNSW corruption that
eventually consumes 60+ GB of disk per project.
Verified across 5 projects on the user's machine:
AgentStore 5.9x write amplification (corrupt, asymptomatic)
lh-interface 9.0x write amplification (CATASTROPHIC, 64 GB)
QuickCourier 2.2x write amplification (warning)
UDAP 1.5x write amplification (healthy-ish)
ToolsConnector 1.3x write amplification (healthy)
The bug exists in every version since chunk-based indexing landed
(v2.0+). v2.1.2 didn't introduce it; v2.1.2's hardening gates didn't
catch it because they snapshot-test correctness, not long-running
write amplification.
Root cause — 3 bugs in indexer/index_codebase.py:
1. doc_id includes chunk.start_line (unstable under insertion);
content-addressing the ID fixes this.
2. collection.add() instead of collection.upsert() — forces HNSW
graph reorganization on every re-submission of an existing ID.
3. Full delete-then-add for any file hash change — re-submits 200
chunks even if 199 are byte-identical.
v2.1.3 plan (docs/plans/v2.1.3.md):
Item 1 — Content-addressed chunk IDs (root fix)
Item 2 — collection.upsert() everywhere (defense in depth)
Item 3 — Per-chunk delta writes (skip identical chunks)
Item 4 — One-shot migration v2.1.2 → v2.1.3
Item 5 — Write-amplification test (G1.8 gauntlet gate)
Item 6 — Doctor + insights warning
Plan tracks issue #11; target ship 2-3 days; v2.1.2 user-facing
recovery via `codevira reset --vectors + codevira index --full` per
project (decisions auto-backed-up by v2.1.2 Item 3a).

Five new modules under mcp_server/storage/, each with unit tests:
jsonl_store.py — atomic append, file lock, line-by-line read,
monotonic ID generation, UTF-8/emoji/CJK
roundtrip
token_estimator.py — char-based proxy (4 chars/token), optional
tiktoken via env var, budget enforcement
digest.py — generate slim digest.jsonl from decisions.jsonl,
outcome-weighted scoring
manifest.py — tag/file -> id index, atomic save, incremental
add, tag normalization
fts5_index.py — SQLite FTS5 over decisions, BM25-ranked, porter
stemmer, malformed-query safe, staleness check
Tests (tests/storage/): 90 passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed in 3.5s.
Performance gates pass: 1000 records in <1s; 1000-decision FTS5 search
under 50ms average per query.
No chromadb / sentence-transformers / torch imports in any new code.
Foundation for Phase B (repoint MCP tools at JSONL) and Phase C
(relevance-gated injection).

13 of 14 MCP roundtrip tests pass against the new in-repo storage
(.codevira/decisions.jsonl etc.). The 14th is intentionally skipped
(chromadb-warning test — irrelevant once chromadb is gone in Phase E).
NEW FILES:
mcp_server/storage/paths.py — .codevira/ + .codevira-cache/
path resolver (single source
of truth)
mcp_server/storage/decisions_store.py — high-level facade: record,
record_many, get, list_all,
search (FTS5), list_tags,
mark_protected, supersede,
rebuild_indexes
mcp_server/storage/sessions_store.py — append-only session events
REPOINTED TOOLS (in-repo .codevira/ JSONL instead of graph.db):
mcp_server/tools/learning.py:
record_decision, record_decisions, supersede_decision,
mark_decision_protected → decisions_store
mcp_server/tools/search.py:
search_decisions — pure FTS5 (retrieval="keyword",
threshold_used=None, summary_only preserved)
list_decisions — decisions_store.list_all + filters_applied
list_tags — manifest.yaml lookup (O(1))
get_history — list_all with file_pattern
write_session_log(s) — sessions_store
mcp_server/tools/check_conflict.py:
check_conflict — FTS5 + Jaccard (no semantic dep)
UNCHANGED (chromadb stays for Phase E to delete):
- search_codebase, _chroma_cache, _get_chroma_client, prewarm
- _decision_embeddings.py
- cli_calibrate.py
- pyproject.toml chromadb/sentence-transformers entries
TESTS:
tests/storage/ 90 passed, 1 skipped
tests/integration/ 20 passed, 2 skipped
Total 110 passed, 2 skipped in 12.7s
The 2 skips: tiktoken not installed; chromadb-warning test irrelevant
in v2.2.0 (chromadb intentionally not failing).
Wire-format note: decision IDs are now strings ("D000001") instead of
ints. The integration test contracts pass either via opaque-value
passthrough.

Replaces cross_session.CrossSessionConsistency with RelevanceInject in
register_default_policies. Hard v2.2.0 budget gates:
- Off-topic prompt → 0 tokens injected (no additionalContext)
- On-topic prompt → ≤ 600 tokens, ≤ 3 decisions
deterministic byte output (cache-stable)
Scoring per decision:
total = (tag_score + file_score + fts_score) * outcome_weight
- tag_score = 0.4 per matching tag (.codevira/manifest.yaml)
- file_score = 0.4 per file path match (full or basename)
- fts_score = BM25 from FTS5 with geometric falloff
- outcome_weight = digest.weight ∈ [0, 1]
(kept=1.0, modified=0.6, reverted=0.2,
archived=0.0, no-outcome=0.5)
Decisions below min_score (default 0.10) never inject.
Cache-stable output:
- Decisions sorted by ID (deterministic)
- No timestamps in output bytes
- <codevira-context cache_key="<sha256>"> wrapper for Anthropic
prompt-cache hit detection
Config (.codevira/config.yaml or CODEVIRA_INJECT_* env vars):
inject_mode "off" | "inject" default "inject"
inject_max_decisions int 1..20 default 3
inject_max_tokens int 50..5000 default 600
relevance_min_score float 0..1 default 0.10

Slim contract for other AI tools (Copilot, Codex, Cursor, Gemini,
Factory, Amp, Windsurf, Zed, RooCode, Jules) that read AGENTS.md on
every prompt. Hard 5 KB block cap enforced regardless of decision count.
NEW FILES:
mcp_server/storage/agents_md_generator.py (~290 LOC)
regenerate() — marker-bounded regen with cap enforcement
do_not_revert decisions always rendered first
Unlocked decisions cut to fit the budget
User content outside markers preserved byte-for-byte
Deterministic output (sorted by id, no timestamps)
mcp_server/cli_sync.py (~95 LOC)
cmd_sync(dry_run, verbose) — regenerate manifest + digest + FTS5
+ AGENTS.md from decisions.jsonl
tests/storage/test_agents_md_generator.py (~210 LOC, 13 tests)
- 5 KB cap holds across 100-decision project
- Locked decisions ALWAYS rendered even when budget tight
- Marker preservation: user content kept byte-for-byte
- Determinism: same in → same bytes out (cache-friendly)
- No timestamps inside the cache-stable block
- record_decision → AGENTS.md auto-regen
- record_many → SINGLE regen for the whole batch
- mark_protected → regen (decision moves to Locked section)
MODIFIED:
mcp_server/cli.py

Phase E.5 — doctor checks reworked:
+ check_codevira_dir (warns if no .codevira/, suggests init)
+ check_agents_md_size (warns at >10 KB safety threshold)
- check_codeindex_freshness (chromadb removed)
- check_semantic_search_health (chromadb removed)
Phase E.6 — codevira init scaffolds .codevira/:
+ mcp_server/cli_init.py (~230 LOC) — new v2.2.0 init flow
Creates .codevira/{decisions,outcomes,sessions,changesets,preferences,
learned_rules}.jsonl + config.yaml + enforcement.yaml
Updates .gitignore (+ .codevira-cache/)
Updates AGENTS.md (+ codevira-managed block, preserves user content)
Existing init flow now ALSO scaffolds .codevira/ (calls cli_init.cmd_init)
Idempotent: running twice doesn't clobber anything
Phase F — git-observed outcome tracking:
+ mcp_server/storage/outcomes_writer.py (~250 LOC)
observe_all() — classify each decision against current HEAD as
kept (file unchanged) / modified (changed but partial preservation) /
reverted (file deleted or materially changed)
Appends events to .codevira/outcomes.jsonl
Regenerates digest.weight so the relevance hook deprioritizes
reverted decisions
+ codevira observe-git CLI command
Phase G — docs deliverables:
+ docs/plans/v2.2.0.md (960 lines — copy of the architectural plan)
+ docs/architecture.md (NEW — layered architecture diagram +
decision-write-path walkthrough + relevance-inject flow)
~ ROADMAP.md — added v2.2.0 section with diff table
~ MIGRATING.md — added top-of-file v2.2.0 section explaining
'no migration; use codevira init' + codevira archive-legacy stub
~ CHANGELOG.md [2.2.0] section (added in Phase E)
CLI now offers (v2.2.0):
codevira init — scaffolds .codevira/ + updates AGENTS.md/gitignore
codevira sync — regenerate AGENTS.md + indexes from decisions.jsonl
codevira observe-git — classify decisions as kept/modified/reverted
VERIFICATION:
Full suite (excluding tests/e2e): 2434 passed, 20 skipped, 4 xfailed in 60s.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phases A–G shipped storage + write path + new policies + docs, but
the cross-tool universality e2e suite surfaced five read-side gaps
that still pointed at the v2.1.x graph.db backend:
- SignalContext.search_decisions → moved to decisions_store.search
(FTS5 over .codevira/decisions.jsonl) with SQLiteGraph fallback
- codevira replay CLI + codevira://decisions MCP resource → both
now read .codevira/{decisions,outcomes,sessions}.jsonl via a new
build_timeline(conn=None, ...) overload that routes to
_build_timeline_from_jsonl
- FTS5 index now includes file_path as a searchable column
(BM25 weight 0.8). Old caches without the column auto-drop +
rebuild on next search. Required so prompts like "retries" can
surface decisions whose only "retries" reference is in the path.
- _sanitize_fts_query now OR-joins terms with stopword + short-token
stripping. Previous implicit-AND turned multi-word prompts into
over-strict phrase queries (e.g. "bcrypt for password hashing"
missed "use bcrypt over argon2" because "password" and "hashing"
weren't in the stored text). Off-topic 0-token gate
(relevance_min_score=0.10) still suppresses noise.
- decisions_store.record + record_many now append digest.jsonl
incrementally so RelevanceInject sees real summaries without
waiting for `codevira sync`.
Test fixes (e2e):
- test_cross_tool_universality._record_decision_via_claude_code_hook
writes via decisions_store.record instead of raw SQL into graph.db
- test_v2_release_candidate references to CrossSessionConsistency
(deleted in Phase E) updated to RelevanceInject
- test_no_policy_has_dead_field adds PostEditGraphRefresh to the
audit list so the assertion's "all heroes off → 0 registered"
holds true
Result: tests/e2e/test_cross_tool_universality (4/4 pass, was 3/4
fail) + test_v2_release_candidate's E and G sections (now pass, were
ImportError); full unit+storage+integration+e2e suite 2476 passed,
70 skipped, 4 xfailed.
uv.lock included — stale since Phase E removed chromadb / sentence-
transformers / torch but the lockfile wasn't regenerated then.

G2 (first-contact e2e) caught a Bug-E regression on the docs-only
fixture: `codevira status` still printed "ChromaDB Chunks: 0" and a
"reinstall to enable semantic search" tip even though chromadb /
sentence-transformers / torch were deleted in Phase E.
Three fixes in cmd_status (indexer/index_codebase.py):
1. Removed the "ChromaDB Chunks" / "Semantic Search: not installed"
row from the status table, plus the surrounding chunk-count probe
+ search_available bookkeeping (dead code in v2.2.0). `chunk_count`
is kept at literal 0 because the explanation branches below still
reference it for backwards-compatible message logic.
2. Reworded the empty-graph explanation from "This project hasn't
been indexed yet" to "Either this project hasn't been indexed
yet, OR it has no parseable source code in the configured
extensions. codevira indexes code, not documentation." This is
the message the e2e test's has_explanation check looks for
(test_docs_only_does_not_silently_produce_zero_chunks).
3. Removed the "Tip: reinstall with pip install --upgrade codevira
to enable semantic search" line. No version of codevira 2.2+
ships semantic code search — the tip pointed users at a
non-existent capability.
Tests:
- tests/e2e/test_first_contact.py::test_docs_only_does_not_silently_produce_zero_chunks[docs_only]
now PASSES (was FAIL); all 39 e2e first-contact + product-invariant
tests pass with codevira on PATH.
- tests/test_index_codebase.py + tests/test_doctor.py + tests/test_cli.py
still pass (184 passed, 2 skipped).
Re-ran full release-gauntlet with PATH set:
G1 ✓ G1.5 ✓ G1.6 ✓ G1.7 ✓ G2 ✓ G2.5 ✓
G3 skipped (stub) · G4 warn (1 stale crash from pre-Phase-E session)
G5 still requires human verification on a real machine.

Manual G5 dogfood (smoke install of dist/codevira-2.2.0-py3-none-any.whl
into a fresh /usr/local/python3.13 venv) surfaced three regressions
the gauntlet didn't catch:
1. Pipx install was 434 MB, not the ≤55 MB the v2.2.0 plan promised.
Root cause: tree-sitter-language-pack = 351 MB (bundles 17
grammars). Added in v2.1.2 Item 21; v2.2.0 plan's "≤55 MB"
prediction didn't account for it.
2. `codevira init --help` text still described the v2.1.x
~/.codevira/projects/<key>/ layout instead of v2.2.0's
in-repo .codevira/ behavior. (Actual behavior was correct;
help text was stale.)
3. G2.5 cold-install smoke only checked subcommand --help, not
venv size. The 434 MB regression slipped past it.
pyproject.toml:
- Removed tree-sitter-language-pack from base deps.
- Added 4 individual grammar packages (tree-sitter-{typescript,
javascript,go,rust}) — ~5 MB total vs 351 MB for the pack.
- New opt-in extra `codevira[all-languages]` re-adds the legacy
pack for users who need Java / C / C++ / Ruby / PHP / Kotlin /
Swift / Solidity (15-language bundle).
indexer/treesitter_parser.py:
- Replaced `tslp.get_parser(language)` with a local
`_load_parser_for(language)` dispatch: tries individual grammar
packages first (always installed), falls back to the legacy
language-pack when [all-languages] is installed. Raises ValueError
with an actionable install hint if neither path supports the
requested language.
mcp_server/cli.py:
- Rewrote `init_parser` description: now correctly says decisions /
sessions / outcomes / config write to <repo>/.codevira/ (in-repo,
git-committed); global.db + crash log stay under ~/.codevira/;
the rebuildable code graph cache is <repo>/.codevira-cache/
(gitignored).
scripts/cold_install_smoke.sh:
- New Step 2.5 asserts venv size ≤100 MB (configurable via
CODEVIRA_VENV_SIZE_MAX_MB env var). Fails loudly with a top-5
dependency-size table when the budget is exceeded. The 100 MB
budget reflects the practical floor: mcp pulls cryptography
(24 MB) + pydantic (4 MB); pip itself takes 11 MB; rich pulls
pygments (9 MB); codevira + the 4 tree-sitter grammars together
are ~10 MB; transitive deps another ~40 MB. The original
≤55 MB plan target didn't account for mcp's 2026 dep growth.
tests/conftest.py:
- Updated tree-sitter availability probe to check the v2.2.0 base
grammar set first, falling back to the legacy pack. Without this
fix, conftest stub-mocked tree_sitter_language_pack and shadow-
replaced indexer.treesitter_parser, breaking 33 parser tests.
CHANGELOG.md + docs/architecture.md:
- Updated install-size claims throughout (~50 MB → ~85 MB, ~200 MB
pipx baseline → ~450 MB to account for v2.1.2 grammar pack).
- New comparison-table row for tree-sitter grammar footprint.
Verification:
- Full test suite: 2,514 passed, 32 skipped, 4 xfailed (was 2,476)
- Release gauntlet: G1 ✓ G1.5 ✓ G1.6 ✓ G1.7 ✓ G2 ✓ G2.5 ✓
G3 stub G4 ✓; G5 still requires maintainer dogfood
- Fresh-venv install: 83 MB (was 434 MB; 81% reduction)
- codevira init / record_decision / RelevanceInject / replay /
status all verified end-to-end against a /tmp sample project

Once the v2.1.x user base dropped to zero (no carryover users to be
compat with), the defensive SQLiteGraph branches added during the
Phase B incremental migration became dead weight. Removed:
Production simplifications
--------------------------
mcp_server/decision_replay.py:
- build_timeline() signature dropped the `conn` parameter entirely;
the SQL JOIN aggregation block is gone. Always reads from
.codevira/{decisions,outcomes,sessions}.jsonl via the canonical
store. Public API simplified — kwargs-only.
mcp_server/engine/signals.py::SignalContext.search_decisions:
- Dropped the `graph.search_decisions()` fallback branch. JSONL FTS5
is the only backend; returns [] cleanly when .codevira/ is missing.
mcp_server/server.py::handle_read_resource:
- Dropped the SQLiteGraph open block; calls build_timeline() with
no args. Renderer shows the friendly empty placeholder if no data.
mcp_server/cli_replay.py::cmd_replay:
- Same simplification — drops the SQLiteGraph branch. Surfaces a
"Run `codevira init`" hint when .codevira/ is missing.
indexer/treesitter_parser.py::_load_parser_for:
- Dropped the `tree_sitter_language_pack` fallback. Unsupported
languages now raise ValueError immediately with an actionable
message.
pyproject.toml:
- Dropped the `[all-languages]` opt-in extra. The legacy pack was
only useful for the long-tail languages (Java/C/C++/Ruby/PHP/
Kotlin/Swift/Solidity) and no carryover users need them. v2.3.0
may re-introduce specific long-tail grammars as individual deps
if real demand emerges.
Test ports (JSONL planter pattern)
----------------------------------
The legacy tests planted decisions via SQL INSERTs into graph.db.
Replaced with a JSONL planter that writes via the canonical
decisions_store.record + jsonl_store.append(outcomes_path, ...) +
jsonl_store.append(sessions_path, ...) flow. Test count unchanged.
tests/conftest.py:
- tree-sitter availability probe no longer checks for
tree_sitter_language_pack; only the 4 v2.2.0 base grammar
packages.
Verification
------------
Full test suite: 2,514 passed, 32 skipped, 4 xfailed (unchanged).
Release gauntlet (PATH=.venv/bin):
G1 ✓ G1.5 ✓ G1.6 ✓ G1.7 ✓ G2 ✓ G2.5 ✓ G4 ✓
G3 skipped (pre-existing stub); G5 still requires maintainer
dogfood on real projects.

First batch of the v2.2.0 surface-cut. The 2026-05-22 audit (in
docs/audit-2026-05-22.md) and Phase 1 cut decisions (in
docs/surface-cuts-2026-05-22.md) showed the changesets feature
reached zero usage across both of the founder's projects with
historical codevira installs. Killing it.
Production deletions
--------------------
mcp_server/server.py:
- 4 Tool() definitions removed: list_open_changesets, start_changeset,
update_changeset_progress, complete_changeset
- call_tool dispatch entries for the 4 tools removed
- imports from mcp_server.tools.changesets removed
- docstring updated (top-of-file + 3 inline)
mcp_server/tools/changesets.py:
- Reduced to a deprecated test-compatibility stub. Production code
no longer imports from this module. Slated for full deletion in
v2.3.0 once test_tools_learning.py is refactored away from the
legacy patch target.
mcp_server/tools/learning.py:
- _infer_focus signature simplified from (open_changesets,
current_phase) to (current_phase,). Changeset priority-1 focus
inference removed; only next_action signal remains.
- get_session_context no longer fetches or returns open_changesets.
mcp_server/tools/roadmap.py:
- "open_changesets" field dropped from current_phase normalization,
get_roadmap output, get_full_roadmap, and 5 placeholder ctors.
- add_open_changeset / remove_open_changeset docstring references gone.
mcp_server/storage/paths.py + cli_init.py + auto_init.py + migrate.py:
- changesets_path() removed.
- graph/changesets/ subdir creation removed from init + migrate flows.
- changesets.jsonl removed from init's file-creation list.
Test ports
----------
- tests/test_tools_changesets.py — DELETED.
- tests/test_server.py — 5 changeset dispatch tests removed; sentinel
in test_dispatch_get_session_context no longer claims a "changesets"
key.
- tests/test_tools_learning.py — _infer_focus tests updated to new
1-arg signature; 3 changeset-priority focus tests removed;
test_open_changesets_key_fixed and 2 sibling tests removed;
open_changesets assertions stripped.
- tests/test_auto_init.py — directory-structure test no longer
asserts graph/changesets/.
- tests/test_migrate.py — changesets-migration test removed;
directory-structure test no longer asserts graph/changesets/.
- tests/test_tools_roadmap.py — legacy-migration test no longer expects
open_changesets.
- tests/conftest.py — fixture no longer creates graph/changesets/.
Also: 6 dormant ruff F841 unused-fake_home assignments in test_migrate.py
fixed (assign to `_` instead).
Verification
------------
Full test suite: 2,466 passed, 32 skipped, 4 xfailed.

… batch 2+3)
Combined Phase 2 batches 2 and 3 because the dependencies between them
were tighter than I'd anticipated when scoping.
Tools removed
-------------
mcp_server/server.py:
- get_preferences (auto-extracted style signals; noise per audit)
- get_learned_rules (auto-extracted rules; noise per audit)
- retire_rule (no rules to retire anymore)
mcp_server/tools/learning.py:
- get_preferences() / get_learned_rules() / retire_rule() functions
- top_signals (preferences + rules) removed from get_session_context
Engine policies deleted (4 of 10 heroes)
----------------------------------------
mcp_server/engine/policies/:
- live_style.py — Hero 7. Consumed preferences; both gone.
- ai_promotion.py — Hero 10. SessionStart noise ranking.
- intent_inference.py — Hero 9. Guesses user intent; wrong half the time.
- scope_contract.py — Hero 3. Never fires; users don't trust it.
Supporting modules dropped:
- mcp_server/engine/intent_classifier.py
- mcp_server/engine/scope_contract.py
- mcp_server/engine/promotion_score.py
- mcp_server/cli_insights.py (the `insights` CLI surfaced Hero 10)
The default policy set drops from 10 to 6:

- `codevira insights` command + parser removed (Hero 10 dependency).
Storage compatibility
---------------------
SQLiteGraph's preferences + learned_rules tables stay (the
v2.1.x-style log_session API still records via these tables for
back-compat), but they're no longer surfaced as MCP tools or via
get_session_context. Full table cleanup deferred to v2.3.0.
Test ports

DELETED 10 test files:
- tests/engine/test_live_style.py
- tests/engine/test_ai_promotion.py

UPDATED:
- tests/test_server.py: 4 prefs/rules dispatch tests removed;
get_session_context sentinels updated.
- tests/test_tools_learning.py: TestGetPreferences + TestGetLearnedRules
removed; session_context assertions stripped of top_signals.
- tests/engine/test_qa_round_week13.py: scope_contract import +
Hero-10 promotion_score assertion removed; expected default-hero-set
updated from 10 to 6 names.
- tests/e2e/test_v2_release_candidate.py: 3 hero-dependent tests
removed; hero-imports updated; clear_all() calls dropped.
- tests/e2e/test_qa_round_v2_completion.py: `insights` removed from
--project Bug-8 parametrize list.
- tests/e2e/test_cross_tool_universality.py: scope_contract import +
clear_all dropped.
mcp_server/engine/signals.py: outcomes(), learned_rules(),
scope_contract property all degraded to no-ops (production code paths
that read them have been removed; slots retained for API compat).
mcp_server/cli_replay.py: inlined `_parse_since` and `_clamp_top`
helpers from the deleted `cli_insights` module so `codevira replay`
stays self-contained.

Per the 2026-05-22 surface-cut audit, the following MCP tools were
identified as never-used / dashboard-only / superseded:
- update_node (manual graph mutation; never load-bearing)
- list_nodes (use query_graph or get_node instead)
- add_node (graph generator owns node creation)
- export_graph (5k-50k token Mermaid/DOT dump; never used)
- get_graph_diff (PR-review surface; use prompt instead)
- get_decision_confidence (surfaces a number nobody acts on)
- get_project_maturity (dashboard metric)
- analyze_changes (vestigial; PR-review pattern)
- find_hotspots (vestigial)
mcp_server/server.py:
- 9 Tool() definitions removed
- 9 call_tool() dispatch entries removed
- 9 corresponding imports removed (from tools.graph + tools.learning)
- _ADMIN_TOOLS filter list trimmed to the 3 still-relevant background
tools (refresh_graph, refresh_index, get_full_roadmap)
- Module docstring updated
Test ports
----------
tests/test_server.py:
- 14 dispatch-test methods removed across TestCallToolAdditionalRoutes
+ TestCallToolMissingDispatches.
- TestUpdateNodeDescriptionContract class removed (update_node gone;
do_not_revert protection now exclusively on record_decision).
tests/test_record_decision.py:
- test_update_node_description_mentions_record_decision reduced to a
"tool stays deleted" guard.
- Two dormant ruff F841 unused-res assignments fixed.

Per 2026-05-22 surface-cut audit, deleted these CLI subcommands +
helper modules:
- report → folds into doctor (which checks crash log size)
- register → already deprecated in v2.0; use `setup`
- configure → folds into `init`
- budget → dashboard read of TokenBudgetPersist data; unused
- agents → per-IDE nudge files collapsed to AGENTS.md alone
- hooks → folds into `setup` (install) and upcoming `uninstall`
- heal → destructive paths are now `reset`; --decisions targeted
the (removed) ChromaDB embedding index
- calibrate → no semantic thresholds in v2.2.0 (FTS5 BM25 has no
learnable parameters)
mcp_server/cli.py: 8 subparsers + dispatchers removed; cmd_report,
cmd_register, cmd_heal function bodies deleted. ~300 LOC trimmed.
mcp_server/cli_agents.py + cli_budget.py + cli_configure.py: DELETED.
Test ports
----------
DELETED entire files:
- tests/test_cli.py (stale mocks; CLI behaviour now covered
by e2e first-contact + cli_replay /
cli_projects / cli_version subprocess tests)
- tests/test_cli_agents.py (cli_agents.py deleted)
- tests/test_cli_configure.py (cli_configure.py deleted)
UPDATED:
- tests/test_setup_wizard.py: test_register_help_shows_deprecation
removed.
- tests/engine/test_token_budget.py: 5 budget-CLI tests removed.
- tests/e2e/test_qa_round_v2_completion.py: 3 agents-dependent tests
removed; subcommand_rejects_invalid_project parametrize trimmed
to drop the "agents" entry.
- tests/e2e/test_product_invariants.py: test_hooks_uninstall_exists
renamed → test_uninstall_exists; targets the unified `codevira
uninstall` (Phase 5 / next commit).
- tests/test_http_server.py: added list_resources + read_resource
MagicMock handlers so Hero 8 MCP resource handlers stay coroutines
after this module loads. Fixed a latent test-order flake.

…nd" gap)
`pipx uninstall codevira` removes the venv but leaves ~15 system touch
points behind: the MCP entry in ~/.claude.json, lifecycle hooks in
~/.claude/hooks/codevira-*.sh, codevira-tagged registrations in
~/.claude/settings.json, per-project .codevira/ + .codevira-cache/
dirs, and AGENTS.md marker blocks. The 2026-05-22 surface-cut audit
named this as a churn driver.
This commit closes that gap with a single command:
codevira uninstall [--dry-run] [-y] [--keep-data]
What it does:
- drops `mcpServers.codevira*` from ~/.claude.json
- deletes ~/.claude/hooks/codevira-*.sh scripts
- strips codevira-tagged entries from ~/.claude/settings.json
hooks block (preserves every unrelated registration)
- for each tracked project in global.db: removes .codevira/ and
.codevira-cache/, and strips the <!-- codevira:begin --> ..
<!-- codevira:end --> block from AGENTS.md (preserving user
content outside the marker BYTE-FOR-BYTE)
- optionally wipes ~/.codevira/ (skipped with --keep-data)
Reversibility invariants are unit-tested (14 cases in
tests/test_cli_uninstall.py): preservation of user content outside
markers, dropping the file when only the codevira block existed,
leaving malformed markers alone, isolating codevira hooks from
sibling hook registrations, --keep-data path, empty-system 'nothing
to remove' path, and full execute-with-yes round trip.
The P7 e2e gate (test_product_invariants.py::test_uninstall_exists)
now passes for the first time.

…se 2 batch 5)
The 2026-05-22 surface-cut audit named per-IDE nudge files as a churn
driver — codevira used to write SIX duplicate nudge files per project
(CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .cursor/rules/codevira.mdc, .windsurfrules,
.github/copilot-instructions.md, AGENTS.md) plus a per-IDE templating
machinery to keep them in sync. Every modern AI tool reads AGENTS.md
(Linux Foundation standard) natively, so the per-IDE variants were
pure surface bloat.
This commit drops the entire per-IDE nudge surface in favor of the
single AGENTS.md generator that landed in v2.2.0 Phase D.

Modified
--------
mcp_server/setup_wizard.py
- drops `from mcp_server.agents_md import ...`
- `_plan_nudge_steps` now emits a single AGENTS.md step regardless
of detected IDE mix
- `_execute_nudge` delegates to
`mcp_server.storage.agents_md_generator.regenerate()`
- inlines `_atomic_write_text` (was in deleted agents_md.py;
setup_wizard is the only remaining caller, used for
~/.claude/settings.json merges)
- adds before/after-bytes comparison so idempotent re-runs report
`no_change` instead of `block_replaced`
mcp_server/doctor.py
- `check_nudge_files` rewritten to check AGENTS.md only
- fix_command updated from deleted `codevira agents` to
`codevira sync`
- drive-by: remove dead `threshold_seconds` local in
`check_codeindex_freshness` (was flagged by pre-commit ruff)
mcp_server/cli_uninstall.py
- extends per-project sweep with legacy-nudge back-compat: for
every tracked project, also looks for codevira marker blocks in
CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md / .cursor/rules/codevira.mdc /
.windsurfrules / .github/copilot-instructions.md and strips
them (user content outside the markers preserved byte-for-byte)
- new helpers `_legacy_nudge_has_marker` +
`_strip_legacy_nudge_marker` handle BOTH the legacy
`<!-- codevira:start -->` spelling and the v2.2.0
`<!-- codevira:begin -->` spelling for safety
mcp_server/ide_inject.py
- docstring updated (no longer references deleted
`mcp_server.agents_md.SUPPORTED_IDES`)
Tests
-----
tests/test_setup_wizard.py
- TestIdempotency / TestPartialDetect / TestSelectiveIDE /
TestColdInstall updated for the new "AGENTS.md only" shape
- TestPreservesUserContent renamed to test the AGENTS.md user-
content guarantee
- TestExternalSchema::test_canonical_block_under_windsurf_12k_cap
deleted (no more .windsurfrules)
- TestSecurityHardening tests deleted from this module — the
marker-spoofing + symlink-traversal hardening is now the
generator's responsibility and covered there
- TestIntegrationFindings _atomic_write_text tests updated to
import the inlined helper from setup_wizard
- All 26 tests pass
tests/test_doctor.py
- TestNudgeFiles::test_warn_when_missing now asserts the new fix
command (`codevira sync`)
tests/test_cli_uninstall.py
- new TestStripLegacyNudgeMarker class (6 cases) covering both
legacy marker spellings, file-deletion-when-pure-codevira,
malformed-marker safety, and the planner-side has-marker probe
- 20/20 tests green
Audit divergence (intentional)
------------------------------
The audit also recommended dropping per-IDE MCP config writes
(~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.windsurf/mcp_config.json, etc.). I did NOT
make that cut. Reasoning:
- The cross-IDE memory pitch is the wedge value. Users on Cursor /
Windsurf / Antigravity need MCP wiring to read decisions.
Dropping MCP setup would silently degrade those users to
"AGENTS.md only" — which is at best a hint, not an API surface.
- Per-IDE *nudges* were duplicates of AGENTS.md (cut-worthy).
Per-IDE *MCP configs* are the load-bearing surface (keep).
Verified
--------
- tests/test_setup_wizard.py: 26/26 pass
- tests/test_doctor.py: all pass
- tests/test_cli_uninstall.py: 20/20 pass (incl. new legacy-strip)
- tests/ -q --ignore=e2e: 1981 pass / 15 skip / 0 fail
- tests/e2e/ -q --ignore=fixtures: 72 pass / 13 skip / 0 fail
- fresh `codevira init` on a /tmp project: only AGENTS.md is
written (no CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md / etc.); doctor reports
`nudge_files PASS`
- back-compat smoke: planted legacy CLAUDE.md with codevira block
→ uninstall --dry-run lists the strip → strip helper preserves
user content byte-for-byte

…ce consolidation)
The 2026-05-22 surface-cut audit flagged several tools as either pure
duplicates of other endpoints (batch variants nobody used in practice)
or vestigial (chromadb-era plumbing that no longer has a backend).
This commit removes the five highest-conviction targets.
Deleted MCP tools
-----------------
record_decisions — batch variant of record_decision; the audit
found agents loop single-record calls in
practice rather than batching, so this
saved theoretical round-trips that never
happened in real data
write_session_logs — same shape, same story as record_decisions
mark_decision_protected — standalone "flip do_not_revert" endpoint;
redundant with supersede_decision(old_id,
new_decision, reason, do_not_revert=True)
which is the same flip plus a free audit
trail (supersession reason)
refresh_index — chromadb-era endpoint; the v2.2.0 build has
no semantic index to refresh, and the code
graph refresh has been a separate MCP tool
(refresh_graph) all along
get_full_roadmap — duplicate of get_roadmap with a flag;
audit found ~zero direct calls and the
advice in the get_roadmap doc already
steers users to get_phase(n) for detail
Counts: 30 → 25 MCP tools (-17%)
Migration (internal Python callers)
-----------------------------------
record_decisions(decisions=[...]) → for d in decisions:
record_decision(**d)
write_session_logs(logs=[...]) → for log in logs:
write_session_log(**log)
mark_decision_protected(id, True) → supersede_decision(
old_id=id,
new_decision=<text>,
reason=<why>,
do_not_revert=True)
refresh_index(file_paths=[...]) → refresh_graph(
file_paths=[...])
get_full_roadmap(include_decisions=...) → get_roadmap() +
iterate get_phase(n)
Drive-by fix
------------
While forwarding kwargs for the now-only `record_decision` dispatch, I
noticed it was silently dropping `tags` and `force` — fields the batch
endpoint forwarded but the single-record dispatch never did. Wired
them through with matching inputSchema entries so loop-callers don't
silently lose their tag intent.
Modified
--------
mcp_server/server.py
- dropped 5 Tool() registrations + 5 dispatch cases + 3 imports
- dropped corresponding entries from _ADMIN_TOOLS
- added `tags` and `force` to record_decision dispatch +
inputSchema (the drive-by fix above)
- updated `record_decision` docstring to point at supersede_decision
for the "flip do_not_revert later" use case
mcp_server/tools/learning.py
- deleted record_decisions + mark_decision_protected impls
- updated record_decision response `hint` text to recommend the
supersede path for retroactive do_not_revert changes
mcp_server/tools/search.py
- deleted write_session_logs + refresh_index impls
Tests
-----
tests/test_record_decision.py
- deleted TestMarkDecisionProtectedTool body; class kept as a
documentation marker
- inverted test_mark_decision_protected_tool_registered into
test_mark_decision_protected_tool_deregistered
tests/test_server.py
- deleted dispatch tests for refresh_index + get_full_roadmap
tests/integration/test_mcp_roundtrip.py
- added `record_many([...])` helper that loops single-record calls
so existing test bodies don't need rewriting
- 11 batch call sites migrated via Python script + manual tidy
- test_record_decisions_batch and test_write_session_logs_batch
reframed as "via_loop" tests
Verified
--------
- `from mcp_server import server` imports cleanly
- tests/ -q --ignore=e2e: 1982 pass / 15 skip / 0 fail
- tests/e2e/ -q --ignore=fixtures: 72 pass / 13 skip / 0 fail
- fresh pipx install: codevira --help still works; tool surface
shrunk in `tools/list` output
Closes: 2026-05-22 audit "redundant tool surface" — items
record_decisions, write_session_logs, mark_decision_protected,
refresh_index, get_full_roadmap.

Three companion artifacts that don't change the runtime but capture
the audit cut's user-facing story + the new release gate state:
CHANGELOG.md
------------
- new ``[Unreleased]`` section listing every Phase 2 batch + Phase 5
deletion / addition / migration note that landed since the v2.2.0
tag (2026-05-20)
- cross-references both the audit synthesis
(`docs/audit-2026-05-22.md`) and the per-item kill list
(`docs/surface-cuts-2026-05-22.md`) so future readers have the
"why" not just the "what"
- explicit Migration notes section for the two non-obvious
successor mappings (mark_decision_protected → supersede_decision,
record_decisions batch → loop record_decision)
- top-line counts (-46% MCP tools, -35% CLI commands, -40% engine
policies, -83% per-project nudge files, 7 → 0 templates)
scripts/cold_install_smoke.sh (G2.5 cold-install smoke harness)
---------------------------------------------------------------
- subcommand registration step (Step 4) updated to assert the
current 15 commands (was 10 commands from v2.1.2 era — would
have failed because `calibrate` etc. are now gone)
- NEW regression guard: parse the {a,b,c,...} subparser-list line
out of --help and assert the 9 audit-deleted commands stay
deleted (heal, budget, agents, hooks, register, configure,
report, calibrate, insights). A future regression bringing one
back fails the gauntlet.
- Step 5 per-command --help loop updated for the new 15-command
surface
- Step 8 replaced (was: heal deprecation check) with a Phase 5
`uninstall --help` content sanity check (dry-run / keep-data /
MCP entry / hook references)
- Step 9 replaced (was: calibrate clamp-range linter) with a
doctor-mentions-AGENTS.md check (covers the batch 5 nudge
consolidation)
- drive-by: anchor `/usr/bin/head` explicitly because some
machines (this one) have XAMPP's HTTP `head` utility shadowing
GNU head, which broke `set -e` pipelines silently

…tion
`tests/e2e/fixtures/` contains four fake-project directories used by
`test_first_contact.py` as subprocess inputs (codevira is run AGAINST
them in a real venv to verify behavior). Each fixture has its own
`tests/test_*.py` with imports from the fixture's `src/` package —
those work when codevira shells out, but break when pytest tries to
recursively collect them as part of the host repo's test run
(``ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src'``).
Pre-existing workaround was passing `--ignore=tests/e2e/fixtures` on
every e2e run. This commit makes the suite self-contained: a
`tests/e2e/fixtures/conftest.py` declares `collect_ignore` listing
every direct subdirectory, so `pytest tests/e2e/ -q` just works.
Verified
--------
- `make test-e2e` and `pytest tests/e2e/ -q` both pass without
`--ignore=tests/e2e/fixtures`
- the fixture content is otherwise untouched; codevira still
shells into them the same way

The handoff doc (committed at aa1d324) flagged the fixtures collection issue as "didn't fix; ~5 min if you want me to". I went and did it in commit e20767d. Update the doc so the founder isn't confused when they read both. No content changes beyond that single bullet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A full-repo audit (post-2026-05-22 surface-cut) surfaced a stack of
internal helpers, modules, and tests that survived the audit's MCP-
tool / CLI-command deletions only because nothing automated checked
"is this still called?" This commit removes everything.
Critical bug fix
----------------
mcp_server/engine/signals.py — `SignalContext.preferences()` tried
to import a non-existent `get_preferences` symbol. The method
would crash with ImportError on first call from any engine policy
that probed `signals.preferences()`. No remaining policy actually
reads it (the preferences surface was deleted in the audit), so
the method itself is also gone in this commit.
Modules deleted
---------------
indexer/rule_learner.py (~250 LOC, 0 surviving callers)
tests/test_rule_learner.py (paired test file)
Functions deleted from production code
--------------------------------------
mcp_server/tools/graph.py:

mcp_server/tools/learning.py:
get_project_maturity + _compute_maturity_score + _maturity_level

mcp_server/engine/signals.py:
SignalContext.preferences (broken; deleted), .outcomes (no-op;
deleted), .learned_rules (no-op; deleted), _prefs_cache field.
mcp_server/http_server.py:
Drive-by: removed dead `url = ...` local (we use `display_url`).
Code rewrites
-------------
mcp_server/global_sync.py — gutted from 187 LOC of bidirectional
preference + rule sync to a ~90-LOC project-registry helper. New
primary entry: `register_current_project()`. Kept
`import_global_to_project()` as a back-compat alias.
mcp_server/prompts.py — pruned from 5 templates to 1. Four deleted
templates (review_changes, debug_issue, pre_commit_check,
architecture_overview) all referenced MCP tools that the audit
deleted. Kept onboard_session.
indexer/index_codebase.py — `_print_global_status` lost its
"Global Preferences" and "Global Rules" rows (always 0 in v3.0.0).
mcp_server/server.py + mcp_server/http_server.py — startup paths
drop `run_rule_inference()` and rename `import_global_to_project()`
invocation to `register_current_project()`. Outcome analysis stays
(feeds AntiRegression + decision-confidence).
Test surface rewrites
---------------------
tests/test_global_sync.py: rewritten (167 LOC) — register +

…cape hatch
Per founder direction post-2026-05-22 surface-cut audit: codevira
should ONLY auto-configure IDEs whose install is actually verifiable
on the user's machine. The v2.x detector accepted weak signals (an
empty ~/.cursor/ dir, the parent of Claude Desktop's config dir)
and produced false positives — codevira would write MCP config for
IDEs the user didn't have.
Worse, when the user explicitly said `--ide cursor` on a machine
where Cursor wasn't detected, the v2.x `detect_targets` silently
filtered the request away and exited 0 with no output and no config
written. Worst possible UX.
Detection rules tightened (mcp_server/ide_inject.py)
-----------------------------------------------------
Claude Code : was `.claude/ in project OR claude on PATH`
now `claude on PATH` (the project .claude/ is
a false-positive risk; many users create the dir
for IDE state without installing Claude Code)
Claude Desktop: was `parent dir of config exists`
now `config FILE exists AND parses as JSON`
Cursor : was `~/.cursor/ exists OR cursor on PATH`
now `~/.cursor/ AND (mcp.json OR cursor on PATH)`
Windsurf : was `~/.windsurf/ OR ~/.codeium/windsurf/ exists`
now `mcp_config.json present in either location`
Antigravity : was `~/.gemini/ exists`
now `~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json exists`
Codex : unchanged (binary on PATH OR AGENTS.md present)
Copilot : unchanged (multi-signal — already STRONG)
Continue.dev : REMOVED — no codevira-configurable integration
Aider : REMOVED — same
setup_wizard.detect_targets — silent-filter killed
--------------------------------------------------
v2.x: `--ide cursor` on a Cursor-less machine → silently dropped
→ empty plan → exit 0
v3.0.0: raises ``ValueError`` with a clear message pointing at
``--force`` as the override
New ``force=True`` kwarg on ``detect_targets`` + ``cmd_setup`` +
CLI flag ``--force``. Escape hatch for genuine cases where
detection misses an install (portable binary not on PATH).
Refactored the known-IDE allowlist into a module-level
``_KNOWN_IDES`` frozenset (single source of truth).
CLI surface (mcp_server/cli.py)
-------------------------------
setup --ide help text updated for the v3.0.0 allowlist (dropped
continue + aider — no longer recognized).
New ``setup --force`` flag, threaded into ``cmd_setup``.

Promote the unreleased work (5 commits from this session + 2 from the
overnight session) to v3.0.0 — the major version bump is honest about
the API contraction (21 MCP tools deleted, 8 CLI commands deleted,
21+ internal modules / functions / test classes removed, IDE detection
hardened, per-IDE nudges collapsed to AGENTS.md only).
Version bumps
-------------
pyproject.toml: "2.2.0" → "3.0.0"
mcp_server/__init__.py: __version__ = "3.0.0"
CHANGELOG promotion
-------------------
Moved [Unreleased] section to new [3.0.0] — 2026-05-22 header.
Major-bump rationale paragraph: SemVer requires the major because
the cuts are subtractive (any v2.x user who upgrades loses surface
they MAY have been using).
Removed the duplicated "v2.2.0 surface-cut" section that the
overnight session put inside the [2.2.0] header — that content
belongs to v3.0.0 (the audit landed AFTER v2.2.0 shipped).
New tables for the v3.0.0 cuts: side-by-side detection-rule
comparison (v2.x → v3.0.0), v2.1.x → v3.0.0 counts table, full
v3.0.0 Removed section grouped by batch.
README rewrite
--------------
Full rewrite for the v3.0.0 surface. Sections updated:
- Hero block: "Cross-IDE decision enforcement" framing (was
"One memory layer for every AI coding tool"). Honest about
hard enforcement being Claude Code only today.
- "What you get": dropped references to deleted features
(codevira insights, codevira budget, semantic search).
- "What's new in v3.0.0": replaces the v2.1.2 + v2.0 sections.
Headline table of changes; link to audit + surface-cut docs.
- "Quick Start": 3 commands (install + init + setup) matching
the v3.0.0 reality (was using deleted commands like
`codevira agents`).
- "What `codevira setup` does": rewritten for STRONG signal
detection + --force flag. Dropped the "writes per-IDE nudge
files" paragraph (we only write AGENTS.md now).
- "Daily-use commands": rewritten for the 15-command v3.0.0
surface (was 19 commands including deleted heal/budget/agents/
hooks/calibrate/insights).
- "Architecture": new ASCII diagram showing in-repo .codevira/
JSONL + .codevira-cache/ layout. The v2.x Mermaid diagrams
referenced the deleted ChromaDB + global preferences + rule
inference layers.
- "MCP Tools": 25 tools in new compact tables (was 36+ tools
across 7 sections including deleted graph mutation / changeset
/ preference / learned_rule / maturity tools).
- "MCP Workflow Prompts": just onboard_session (was 5 prompts).
- "Language support": same matrix, updated for the
individual-grammar shipping model (TS/JS/Go/Rust by default;
Java/C/etc via the [all-languages] extra).
- "Production-stable vs known-limited": rewritten to be honest
about Claude-Code-only PreToolUse enforcement.
- Manual-install section deleted (`codevira setup --force`
covers the manual case now).
- Uninstall section rewritten around `codevira uninstall` (was
`codevira clean` + `codevira hooks uninstall`).

The overnight handoff was a snapshot of v2.2.0+ unreleased. After
this morning's direction (dead-code sweep + IDE detection hardening
+ major version bump to v3.0.0), the doc needed a full rewrite:
- TL;DR now leads with v3.0.0 (not v2.2.0+).
- New "What changed this morning" section summarizing the 3
morning commits (dead-code sweep, IDE detection hardening,
version bump + docs rewrite).
- "My answers to your open queries" — the overnight handoff
had 4 open questions for the founder; this morning's work
answered all of them (multi-IDE MCP kept, v3.0.0 chosen
over v2.2.1, README rewritten, ruff partial sweep with
rationale).
- Counts table updated for v3.0.0 (was v2.1.x → v2.2.0+).
- G5 verification recipe expanded with the v3.0.0 commands
(uninstall etc.) and the publish path.

Two issues surfaced from practical end-to-end verification of the
v3.0.0 release (the "have you checked it thoroughly without
assumption?" review):
1. `codevira init` still scaffolded `preferences.jsonl` and
`learned_rules.jsonl` as empty files, even though the MCP tools
that wrote to them were deleted in the 2026-05-22 surface-cut
audit. Fresh init now creates only the 3 JSONL files v3.0.0 code
actually touches: decisions.jsonl, outcomes.jsonl, sessions.jsonl.
Idempotency preserved — existing projects with the vestigial files
keep them; we don't sweep them on re-init.
2. Five doc sites (CHANGELOG, README x3, ROADMAP, morning-handoff)
claimed the v3.0.0 MCP tool count is 25. Practical check via
`tools/list` dispatch returned 23 + 1 hidden admin tool = 24
registered. The 25 was a miscount (I think I was counting an MCP
Resource as a Tool). Updated all 5 sites to the correct "24 tools
(23 surfaced + 1 admin-only `refresh_graph`)" framing. -48% from
46 (was claimed as -46%).
Verified
--------
- Fresh `codevira init` on /tmp project: no longer creates
preferences.jsonl / learned_rules.jsonl. The 3 v3.0.0-relevant
JSONL files + config.yaml + enforcement.yaml + digest +
manifest + AGENTS.md + .gitignore update are all there.
- tests/ -q --ignore=e2e: 1870 pass / 15 skip / 0 fail (no tests
asserted those files were created, so no regressions)
- tests/e2e/ -q --timeout=120: 72 pass / 13 skip / 0 fail
- make release-gauntlet: all gates PASS (G1, G1.5, G1.6, G1.7,
G2, G2.5, G4); G3 skipped (pre-existing stub)
- Practical end-to-end checks done as part of this review:
* fresh `codevira init` on /tmp/v3-smoke under v3.0.0 binary
* `codevira setup --ide cursor` (no --force) raises clear
ValueError + exit 1 — silent-filter is truly gone
* `codevira setup --ide cursor --force --dry-run` proceeds and
plans the Cursor MCP config — escape hatch works
* `codevira uninstall --yes` against an isolated fake HOME with
seeded artifacts removed all 4 expected items (codevira data
dir, claude.json mcp entry, hook script, settings.json hook
entry) cleanly
* `_strip_legacy_nudge_marker` against a CLAUDE.md with mixed
user content + codevira block preserved every byte of user
content; only the marked block was removed
* MCP server starts cleanly; tools/list returns 23 tool names
matching the v3.0.0 KEEP list (not the deleted set)

Discovered during G5 verification on real projects (AgentStore):
`codevira init -y` errored with "unrecognized arguments: -y" even
though the underlying `cli_init.cmd_init` already accepted a `yes`
kwarg. The init_parser in cli.py was missing the argparse wiring.
Also exposed `--dry-run` (cli_init.cmd_init already supports it; was
just not surfaced in CLI).
Verified after the fix:
- `codevira init -y` on a fresh /tmp project: succeeds non-interactively
- `codevira init --dry-run`: prints plan + writes nothing
(verified: /tmp project still has only the pre-existing pyproject.toml
after dry-run; no .codevira/ created)
- test suite: 1870 pass / 15 skip / 0 fail
- cold-install smoke (G2.5): PASS for codevira 3.0.0
G5 dogfooding context
---------------------
Found while running the practical-verification recipe from the morning
handoff. Two real projects exercised under v3.0.0:
lh-interface:
- was: half-initialized v2.x state (.codevira/sessions.jsonl from
an earlier partial run; AGENTS.md from the legacy per-IDE generator)
- codevira sync migrated AGENTS.md to the v3.0.0 marker format,
preserving 5,463 bytes of user content outside the codevira block
- doctor: 13 pass / 1 warn / 0 fail (warn = pre-existing ghosts)
AgentStore:
- was: greenfield (no .codevira/, no AGENTS.md, hand-written CLAUDE.md)
- codevira init bootstrapped .codevira/ + AGENTS.md (340 bytes)
without touching the existing CLAUDE.md
- doctor: 13 pass / 1 warn / 0 fail (warn = pre-existing ghosts)
Both projects pass clean on v3.0.0 with the only WARN being the
pre-existing ghost-project entries in global.db (cosmetic; user can
clean via `codevira clean --ghosts`).

…g storage)
CRITICAL: SignalContext.decisions() was reading from graph.db's SQL
`decisions` table — but v3.0.0 writes decisions to
.codevira/decisions.jsonl. The storage-layer split meant the
DecisionLock engine policy could NEVER fire on a v3.0.0 decision;
the entire enforcement wedge was silently fail-open.
Discovered during round-2 G5 verification:
1. End-to-end MCP round-trip recorded a do_not_revert decision via
record_decision MCP tool → confirmed it landed in JSONL.
2. Simulated Claude Code's PreToolUse hook firing on an Edit of
auth.py (the file with the locked decision).
3. Hook responded {"continue": true} — ALLOW. Expected: BLOCK.
4. Direct probe of signals.decisions() returned [] despite JSONL
having the decision.
Root cause: mcp_server/engine/signals.py:166 had v2.x SQL reading
from `decisions` + `nodes` tables. v3.0.0 dropped writes to those
tables; the broad `except Exception` swallowed errors and returned [].
Why no unit test caught it
--------------------------
Every engine-policy unit test uses _FakeSignals stand-ins. The two
TestRealGraphIntegration tests DID exercise the real SignalContext
— but they seeded data via SQLiteGraph directly (matching the broken
implementation), so they passed against the same SQL the policy was
wrongly reading. Classic "test the bug, not the contract."
Fix
---
mcp_server/engine/signals.py — rewrite SignalContext.decisions() to
route through mcp_server.storage.decisions_store.list_all(). Maps
JSONL keys (id/ts/decision/file_path/do_not_revert/...) to the engine
contract (id/timestamp/decision/file_path/locked/...).
Two adjacent bugs fixed in the same round:
mcp_server/storage/decisions_store.py::supersede now INHERITS
file_path + tags from the superseded decision when not explicitly
provided. Pre-fix, supersede would detach the new decision from the
file it was protecting (file_path=None), silently disabling
enforcement.
mcp_server/server.py: `supersede_decision` MCP tool's `old_id` input
schema declared `integer` but v3.0.0 uses string IDs (`D000001`).
Changed to `string` with a clear error message.
Drive-by ruff cleanup: 3 dead locals in
tests/engine/test_decision_lock.py::test_simultaneous_fire_priority
(the synthetic event/diff/proj prep for an abandoned dispatch path).
Tests
-----
tests/engine/test_decision_lock.py + test_anti_regression.py:
the two TestRealGraphIntegration fixtures rewritten to seed via
decisions_store.record() (the v3.0.0 path). This is the only way
to make these tests fail if signals.decisions ever regresses back
to reading the SQL table.
TestRealGraphIntegration docstring updated documenting this as
bug #3 in the long-running saga of "fake signals silently pass; only
end-to-end against real storage catches the bug."
Verified
--------
- Full unit suite: 1870 pass / 15 skip / 0 fail
- End-to-end via codevira binary: PreToolUse hook on auth.py
correctly returns permissionDecision=deny citing the locked
decision.

…t SQL Adds tests/engine/test_decision_lock.py::TestRealGraphIntegration:: test_signals_decisions_reads_jsonl_not_sql. Mechanism: seed the v3.0.0 JSONL with one decision (file_path='auth.py'), ALSO seed graph.db's SQL `decisions` table with a CONFLICTING trap decision (file_path='trap.py'). signals.decisions() must return the JSONL data and NOT the SQL trap. If signals.decisions ever regresses back to the SQL read path, this test fails immediately with a clear message naming the wrong-storage leak. The original silent fail-open could never have been caught by "return [] is acceptable" assertions — this regression guard verifies that the right storage layer is the one being read, not just that "something" comes back.

Round-2 G5 audit caught two distinct bug shapes under concurrent record_decision load (50 threads, 10 workers): 1. Atomic-rename race. save() / regenerate() / _merge_into_file used a fixed ``<path>.tmp`` suffix; two threads' replace() calls raced on the rename target — thread A's tmp got consumed first, thread B's later replace() raised FileNotFoundError. Decisions stayed safe (jsonl_store.append uses fcntl-locked I/O); only the cache files lost partial updates. Fix: per-write unique tmp via tempfile.mkstemp + os.replace + fsync where supported. 2. Read-modify-write lost updates. manifest.incremental_add did load → mutate → save without a lock. 50 concurrent calls all loaded the same starting state and the last save() won — 50 writes landed as 37 counted. Fix: fcntl.flock on a sidecar .lock file around the whole read-modify-write (graceful fallback to lock-free on filesystems that don't support flock). Per P9, decisions in the canonical JSONL always survived; the cache divergence is silent UX rot, not data loss. New regression test tests/storage/test_concurrent_writes.py pins three invariants: - 50-thread concurrent record produces zero atomic-rename warnings - manifest.total_decisions matches JSONL after concurrent writes - decision still persists when manifest.yaml is corrupt (P9) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pre-fix, get_data_dir() called get_project_root() and resolved through ~/.codevira/projects/<sanitized-key>/ without ever checking is_invalid_project_root(). When the resolved root was $HOME or a system top-level (the v1.8.0 production crash class), callers downstream created ghost dirs at ~/.codevira/projects/Users_sachin/ etc. The guard at the CLI dispatch level (cli.py:1252) protected one entry point, but get_data_dir itself was bypassable from 49+ callsites. Now raises ValueError with the rejection reason. `codevira status` explicitly catches and degrades to its existing "Not initialized" message so it still works from any directory. Open observation #5 from the 2026-05-23 RC audit. See decision D000003 for the related CODEVIRA_PROJECT_DIR contract.
Three more instances of the v2→v3 storage-migration pattern where READS still pointed at the legacy SQLiteGraph while WRITES had moved to JSONL. All exhibited the same shape as the already-fixed signals.decisions (214fc4f) and get_session_context.recent_decisions (9457c54). 1. learning.py:47 — get_decision_confidence diagnostic counts Pre-fix: `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM decisions` on empty SQLite → users saw "decisions_in_db_total: 0 / interpretation: No data" even with dozens of JSONL decisions. Now counts from JSONL via jsonl_store. 2. learning.py:422 — get_session_context.recent_sessions Pre-fix: db.get_recent_sessions() on empty SQLite → recent_sessions was always [] in the SessionStart injection. Now reads from sessions_store.read_recent(). Live-validated: 1 session, was 0. 3. log_retention.py — retention_days enforcement Pre-fix: silently no-op on v3.0 projects (deletes from empty SQLite tables). Now detects v3.0 JSONL storage and surfaces a clear log warning that JSONL retention isn't yet supported; recommends git rm / external rotation. Audit prescription from 2026-05-23 SESSION OBSERVATION: "Sweep every _get_db() callsite in mcp_server/tools/ ... Each one is a candidate silent-empty bug." See decision D000002 (locked) for the policy that READS must go through the JSONL canonical store.
Pre-fix, init only checked that .codevira-CACHE/ was in .gitignore (adding it if missing). It silently ignored .gitignore lines that gitignore the canonical .codevira/ directory itself — defeating codevira's "shared in-repo memory" core promise. decisions.jsonl, manifest.yaml, sessions.jsonl never get committed; collaborators and other AI tools (Cursor, Windsurf) see an empty memory store. Now scans .gitignore for the common patterns that block .codevira/ (.codevira, .codevira/, /.codevira, /.codevira/) and surfaces a loud multi-line warning before the plan section. Doesn't refuse — user might have an intentional reason — but makes the consequence visible. Caught while validating the 2026-05-23 RC audit observations against the very project doing the audit: its own .gitignore:61 has `.codevira/`, which is why the user's collaborators never see the locked decisions.
…core Pre-fix defaults injected prior decisions on essentially any prompt that shared a BM25-rankable token with any decision summary. The math: top FTS hit got `_FTS_WEIGHT=0.2`, default un-digested decisions had `weight=0.5`, final score `0.2 × 0.5 = 0.10` — exactly equal to `min_score=0.10`. The gate `if final < min_score: continue` lets 0.10 pass (not less than). Every non-empty prompt triggered something. Live evidence from the 2026-05-23 audit session: three back-to-back prompts each surfaced unrelated locked decisions (D000002, D000006, D000009). Trains the AI / user to ignore the injection — defeats the whole "remind me of relevant prior context" intent. Two changes: 1. Raise default min_score from 0.10 → 0.25. FTS-only (max 0.20) now fails the gate. Tag-only needs weight ≥ 0.625 (mostly-kept). File- only same. Multi-source easily passes. 2. Hard gate: refuse FTS-only candidates (no tag match, no file match) regardless of score. CODEVIRA_INJECT_ALLOW_FTS_ONLY=1 restores the pre-3.0 behavior for users who want the noisier mode. Audit prescription said: "Tighten the gate (require ≥2 token overlap, or use the asymmetric overlap-coefficient logic from check_conflict)." This is the multi-source variant.
Pre-fix, the only way to flip do_not_revert on an existing decision was
supersede_decision(old_id, new_decision, reason, do_not_revert=...).
That requires rewriting the full decision text + a reason — overkill
for a one-flag toggle (e.g. unprotect a decision that turned out to be
wrong, or correct a tag typo).
Adds:
decisions_store.set_flag(decision_id, *, do_not_revert=None, tags=None)
— writes a single amendment record to .codevira/decisions.jsonl;
rebuilds manifest + digest + FTS5.
learning.set_decision_flag(...)
— MCP-facing wrapper. Registered as the `set_decision_flag` tool.
Supersede stays the right call for SEMANTIC rewrites (different intent
or scope) because it preserves lineage. set_decision_flag is for
metadata-only edits.
Live-validated: D000003 toggled true→false→true, tags replaced, and
no-op error path returns a clear hint.
2026-05-23 RC-audit observation: "supersede UX heavyweight for flag-flips".
When a user runs ``pipx install --force codevira`` after their IDE has
already spawned an MCP stdio child, the new wheel sits on disk but the
running child keeps serving the OLD code from its sys.modules cache.
Edits don't take effect until the IDE is restarted. Pre-fix this was
silent — users would file "my fix didn't apply" issues and we'd have
to diagnose it over support.
Adds:
mcp_server/_mcp_registry.py
Each MCP process writes ~/.codevira/run/<pid>.json on startup with
{pid, version, project_root, transport, started_at}. Sweeps stale
entries (dead PIDs) on every register / list call. Atexit hook
removes the entry on graceful exit.
server.py + http_server.py — startup hook
Best-effort register/atexit/unregister; never blocks initialize.
Also adds a clear "Codevira MCP server v<X> starting (pid <Y>)"
log line so the version is visible in IDE MCP logs.
doctor.py — check_mcp_running_versions (new check)
Lists registered MCPs, compares each version to the
currently-installed mcp_server.__version__. Warns when any
running MCP is on a stale version and recommends restart.
Caught the 2026-05-23 ergonomic — observed live in this audit session
when write_session_log failed with ``cannot import sessions_store``
because the running MCP loaded the old wheel.
…se min_score" This reverts commit 7a361a7.
The 2026-05-25 e2e run (full pytest suite — unit + integration + e2e) caught a regression introduced by an earlier "tightening" of the relevance gate: raising min_score and refusing FTS-only matches broke tests/e2e/test_cross_tool_universality.py — the test that proves a decision recorded in Claude Code surfaces in Cursor / Windsurf / Antigravity via UserPromptSubmit injection. The reverted commit was 7a361a7 (reverted in aa336a1). The wedge recall path REQUIRES FTS-only matches because: - Decisions recorded from Claude Code typically have a file_path but no semantic tags (defaults to []). - A user typing "what did we decide about bcrypt password hashing?" in Cursor will match the decision text by FTS5 token, but has zero tag overlap and zero file mention. - Refusing FTS-only matches OR raising the score above 0.10 blocks this recall and silently breaks the wedge. The noise problem (overly-broad FTS5 matches on short prompts) is real but lower-priority than the wedge. Proper fix needs a precision/recall benchmark with a labeled corpus of (prompt, relevant-decisions) pairs and a new e2e suite that gates threshold changes against both noise AND recall. Deferred to v3.0.1. Documenting in CHANGELOG under "Known limitations" so users understand why short, off-topic prompts may still surface prior decisions in their session-start injection.
`jsonl_store._compute_next_id_locked` tail-reads the last record in the JSONL and increments its id field. Amendment records (carrying `_amendment_to_id`) re-use an EXISTING decision's id, NOT a fresh sequential one. When the most recent record was an amendment, the function did `next = amended_id + 1` — which collided with an already-issued sequential id. Trigger: any flow that writes an amendment immediately before a fresh `record_decision`. In v3.0 this was hit by the new `set_decision_flag` tool (commit f3130a9) but the latent bug also existed for `mark_protected` (v2.x). Live evidence: in the 2026-05-25 audit session, three `set_decision_flag` test calls to D000003 were followed by a fresh `record_decision`; the new decision was assigned D000004, silently overwriting the check_conflict decision's semantics in the merged view. Fix: walk back the tail-read past consecutive amendment records until a non-amendment record is found, then increment from there. Tail-read optimization preserved. Regression coverage in tests/storage/test_jsonl_store.py: - test_amendment_record_does_not_steal_next_id - test_multiple_amendments_then_new_id Full suite verified: 1985 passed, 28 skipped, 0 failed.
under `engine install-hooks` The 2026-05-22 surface-cut audit explicitly removed `hooks` as a top-level subcommand (docs/surface-cuts-2026-05-22.md:145 — "DELETE: per-IDE hook scripts; `init --ide claude` covers it"). Commit 5dee24f re-introduced it as `codevira hooks list / install / uninstall`, undoing that decision. cold_install_smoke.sh caught the regression via its `audit-deleted regression guard` step. This commit: - Removes the top-level `hooks` parser + dispatch from cli.py. - Moves the install action under `codevira engine install-hooks` (engine is kept top-level by the surface-cut audit; adding a sub-action there preserves the lean top-level surface). - Drops `list` and `uninstall` exposure entirely — both were already deleted from public CLI in the surface cut, and the underlying cmd_hooks_uninstall stays internal-only (still used from `codevira uninstall`). `codevira engine install-hooks` is the upgrade path users need after `pipx install --force codevira` — it refreshes the installed hook script bodies (pulling in v3.0 changes like the engine.disabled sentinel check) without re-running the full `init` wizard. cold_install_smoke.sh passes. Full pytest passes.
cli_export.cmd_export calls _resolve_graph_db_path() which calls get_data_dir(). After commit 8d895b2 (get_data_dir raises ValueError on invalid roots), `codevira export decisions ...` from $HOME or a system top crashed with an uncaught traceback instead of the friendly error. Add `except ValueError` to the same try/except block that already handles FileNotFoundError. Caught by a blast-radius probe that ran every CLI subcommand from a fake-$HOME after the get_data_dir guard landed. After this fix, all 10 probed subcommands degrade cleanly: status, doctor, projects, export, sync, index, replay, observe-git, engine status, engine install-hooks.
…e path The v3.0.0 JSONL write path resolved the project root via get_project_root() and created .codevira/ without the forbidden-root guard that get_data_dir() already applies. A *global* MCP config in Claude Desktop (no cwd option, no CODEVIRA_PROJECT_DIR) resolves the root to '/' (or an inherited cwd) and would silently mkdir /.codevira (PermissionError) or $HOME/.codevira (colliding with the per-user state dir, decisions invisible to the real project). ensure_dirs() — the single write chokepoint all JSONL writers funnel through — now validates the resolved root via is_invalid_project_root() and raises a WHAT+WHY+FIX ValueError naming CODEVIRA_PROJECT_DIR. Read paths (is_initialized, list/search) stay guard-free so they degrade to empty rather than raise (P9). Decision: D000012. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ch_decisions
search_decisions exposed both full and summary_only (three verbosity
tiers), but list_decisions had only full. An agent that had used
search_decisions(summary_only=True) reasonably assumed the same knob
worked on list_decisions — it didn't, leading to over-fetching with
full=true (~10K tokens) when a ~tiny summary was wanted.
Adds summary_only to list_decisions: returns only {id, summary(80),
do_not_revert} rows under the existing 'decisions' key with
mode='summary_only', and takes precedence over full. Additive and
non-breaking. The deeper full-vs-summary_only polarity inconsistency
across read tools is a breaking API-shape change, deferred to v3.1.
(pre-commit ruff-format also normalized a pre-existing assert in the
touched test file.)
Decision: D000015.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
New `codevira graph` renders the project's decision memory as a single self-contained HTML file: nodes are decisions, edges are the supersedes lineage, with a client-side query/filter box (id / text / tag / file_path / protected) and a details panel. Zero runtime dependencies, no server, works offline — it reuses the canonical JSONL store (decisions_store.list_all, honoring D000002) and inlines the data. The inlined JSON escapes '<' as \\u003c so decision text containing a literal </script> can't break out of the data island and inject HTML (P4). v1 covers decision memory; the code-graph overlay (.codevira-cache/graph.sqlite) is a deliberate follow-up. Decision: D000016. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…jsonl Regenerate the codevira-managed decision summary in AGENTS.md from the canonical .codevira/decisions.jsonl after this session's decisions (D000011–D000017) landed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The advertised MCP tools/list payload is ~4.1K tokens for 24 tools — a fixed per-session cost (measured 2026-05-26, D000018). Add an opt-in CODEVIRA_TOOL_PROFILE=lean that trims the surface to the 11 daily-driver tools (~46%, ~1.9K tokens saved); the default still advertises every tool. Hidden tools keep working when called explicitly via call_tool — they're just not advertised in tools/list. Extends the existing _ADMIN_TOOLS filtering pattern in list_tools. Also trims record_decision's description (the single longest, ~450 tokens) while keeping its do_not_revert + supersede/set_decision_flag guidance. Decision: D000018.

…+ ensure_dirs guard Add the 2026-05-26 dogfood-batch changes to CHANGELOG (under [Unreleased], promoted into 3.0.0 at release) and README: - `codevira graph` in the daily-use command table - CODEVIRA_TOOL_PROFILE=lean in the token-efficiency section - summary_only on list_decisions alongside search_decisions All of this ships in the single 3.0.0 release.

… go red on system python3 make release-gauntlet / test-unit default PYTHON to system python3, which lacks the project deps (tree-sitter grammars, etc.). Running them without activating .venv produced ~53 spurious test 'failures' (the suite is green under the venv: 1910 passed). PYTHON now prefers .venv/bin/python when present; override with make PYTHON=... still works (?=). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… 3.0.0 release Per release scoping (D00001A): there is no 3.0.1/3.0.2/3.1; everything built this session ships in 3.0.0. Relabel code comments, docstrings, decision tags (D000011/15/16/17), and the CHANGELOG known-limitations heading from v3.0.1/v3.1 to v3.0.0 (or version-neutral). Pre-existing 'later release' notes for genuine future work are left as-is. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…nd per-app dirs Antigravity 2.0 unified MCP config under the shared ~/.gemini/config/ directory (CLI+IDE+SDK) while keeping a per-app ~/.gemini/antigravity/ file (D000017). codevira now detects either location and injects into every surface the user has (parent dir exists), defaulting to the per-app path when none exist yet — robust to all layouts without guessing which one a given install reads. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ches + best-effort code edges The memory viewer now overlays code structure on the decision graph: a 'file' node per distinct decision file_path, a dashed 'touches' edge from each decision to the file it pertains to, and best-effort 'depends' edges between those files read from the code graph (<data_dir>/graph/ graph.db). The graph read degrades to nothing if the store is missing or its location has drifted (P9) — the viewer always renders from the canonical decision data. New --no-files flag for a decisions-only view. Distinct colors/shapes + legend + filter cover file nodes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Remove stale v2.1.1/v2.1.2-Item changelog cruft from the agent-facing tool descriptions (noise that cost tokens without helping agents), while preserving the useful guidance: search_decisions still documents full=true / summary_only; check_conflict still documents the novel/duplicate/conflict contract and the BEFORE-record_decision usage. Additive-consistency scope (per decision): the read tools now consistently advertise summary-by-default with full=true; summary_only is available on both decision-listing tools (search_decisions + list_decisions). No knob removed — non-breaking. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Promote the [Unreleased] hardening + 2026-05-26 additions into the 3.0.0 release entry (dated 2026-05-27, finalization); demote the prior '2026-05-22' header to an 'Initial 3.0.0 RC milestone' subsection so there's one canonical [3.0.0] entry, no duplicate version headers.

… twine The PATH twine here is a broken homebrew shim (bad interpreter: python@3.13 missing), which failed release-dry-run and would have failed release-publish at upload time. Route both through the venv's twine ($(PYTHON) -m twine) — same fix-class as preferring .venv python. Verified: twine check PASSES for both 3.0.0 artifacts.

agents_md_generator._project_name() and cli_init did a bare `import tomllib` (stdlib only on 3.11+). On 3.10 — a declared support target (requires-python>=3.10) — the import raised, the broad except swallowed it, and the project name fell back to the directory name. CI 'Test (Python 3.10)' caught it via test_empty_project_still_renders (expected pyproject name 'agents-md-test', got dir name 'proj'). Add the standard tomllib/tomli fallback at both call sites + declare 'tomli>=2.0; python_version < 3.11'. Verified by simulating 3.10 (blocking tomllib): name resolves correctly. Pre-existing bug, not from this session's feature work. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Release: codevira 3.0.0 — lean, audited, opinionated
This PR cuts the 3.0.0 release. Everything below ships in the single 3.0.0 (no 3.0.1/3.0.2/3.1).
Highlights
