Description

This PR introduces the core upgrades for the codebase intelligence engine, replacing the static dep-graph.json with a high-performance SQLite graph store. Key highlights include:

  • Implementation of fine-grained symbol tracking (Phase B) and function-level call edges (Phase C) for precise blast radius analysis.
  • Consolidation of the intelligence engine and compression of architecture summaries.
  • Introduction of an interactive CLI configuration and automated enrichment workflows.
  • Update to the skill registry and deprecation of obsolete components.

Steps to Test

  1. Run npm install to ensure all dependencies are met.
  2. Execute npm run test to verify the accuracy of the new SQLite graph indexing logic.
  3. Verify the CLI configuration flow by running wednesday-skills config.
  4. Validate the full mapping process: wednesday-skills map --full.

Interactive E2E test generation skill that queries the brownfield graph
for code structure, ideates test flows categorized into 3 confidence tiers,
auto-tests and fixes failures in a loop, and produces a verified report
stored in .wednesday/e2e-reports/. Integrated into pr-create as an
optional pre-push step — user is asked upfront, skill runs if yes, report
and test files are staged and attached to the PR body.
Adds two new analysis modules that scan source files for patterns
invisible to import/export analysis:

daemon-detector.js: event emitters/listeners, background timers,
process signals, queue consumers, WebSocket handlers, cron jobs.

adapter-detector.js: database clients, HTTP clients, cache, storage,
email, payment, auth, message queues, SMS/push, analytics/monitoring
adapters across 35+ libraries.

Both modules store results in new SQLite tables (daemons, adapters)
with indexes on file_path and kind for fast querying. Detection runs
as Step 4 in the mapping pipeline and totals are shown in the summary.
Removes brownfield-e2e-gen placeholder skill (deferred).
…md and brownfield-chat

Daemons and adapters are now exported to .wednesday/codebase/analysis/
daemons.json and adapters.json after mapping so brownfield-chat can
read them directly without querying SQLite.

MASTER.md gains two new summary sections (Background processes,
External adapters) and two new rows in the quick stats table.

brownfield-chat skill description and When-to-use examples updated
to cover daemon and adapter queries so Claude triggers the skill
on questions like 'what daemons exist' or 'what external services
does this project use'.
brownfield-chat is now the single unified skill for all codebase
questions — single file lookups, blast radius, daemons, adapters,
git history, architecture overview.

Uses a token-efficient decision tree: reads the smallest source
that answers the question (MASTER.md for overviews, a single node
from dep-graph for file queries, purpose-built analysis JSONs for
daemons/adapters/risk/dead-code).

brownfield-query reduced to a tombstone redirect.
Registry and CLAUDE.md updated to remove brownfield-query reference.
When a user runs `npx github:wednesday-solutions/ai-agent-skills install`
for the first time, the ws-skills command disappears after the npx
session ends. ensureGlobalInstall() detects npx via process.argv and
npm_config_user_agent, then runs `npm install -g` before proceeding
with the project install so ws-skills is a permanent terminal command.
Falls back with a clear manual command if global install fails.
…tripped

Patterns need to match against the original source text so that identifier
names and event strings are intact. The stripped source (where string/comment
content is replaced with spaces) is only used to validate that each match
position is not inside a literal or comment.

Also extends MockDatabase to persist and query daemons and adapters, fixing
silent data loss when better-sqlite3 native bindings are unavailable.
…ections

- Health snapshot: single table with risk band distribution (critical/risky/
  moderate/safe counts), dead files + unused export count, daemon/adapter totals
- Watch zones: merged danger zones + high-risk into one table with blast radius
  and band in a single scannable view
- Daemons & adapters: compact tables (kind → count → examples) instead of
  per-file bullet lists; paths are now relative to rootDir
- Dead code: shows both unreferenced files and unused exports; 15-row cap
- Tech debt: top-8 compact table in main body; removed as separate section
- Removed: Platform & Environment (iOS-only), Vendored Code Analysis,
  Annotation Coverage, Legacy Health Report — data lives in DB/JSON, not MD
- Fixed: double header comment, inferFeatures called once, phantom output
  files removed from table (api-surface.json, conflicts.json, blast-radius.json
  were listed but never generated)
Daemon/adapter detection now runs before summarization (Step 1b) so the
LLM prompt for each high-value file includes what external services it
calls and what background patterns it registers.

Prompt additions:
  Daemons: event-listener(user:login), interval
  Adapters: redis, prisma, stripe

This produces specific summaries like "manages cache invalidation via
Redis, runs a periodic cleanup job" instead of generic role templates.

Step 4 reuses the already-detected data (no re-reading files) and only
handles DB persistence and JSON export.
…ieval

Schema additions to nodes table:
  summary  TEXT — LLM-generated module purpose written back after summarization
  role     TEXT — classified file role (service, controller, React hook, etc.)
  band     TEXT — risk band: critical / risky / moderate / safe
  is_test  INTEGER — bool, indexed for fast filtering

New store methods:
  updateSummaries(summaries) — bulk write after summarizeAll()
  updateScores(scoreMap)     — bulk write band + risk_score after scoring
  getByRole(role)            — all files with a given role
  getByBand(band)            — all files in a risk band
  searchByTopic(term)        — LIKE search across summaries

Migration runs ALTER TABLE at startup to upgrade existing graph.db files.

brownfield-chat skill rewritten to query graph.db directly via sqlite3 CLI
instead of loading summaries.json / dep-graph.json. Single targeted query
now answers "what does X do?", "all services", "high-risk files", blast
radius — without deserializing multi-MB JSON files into context.
Skip fs.readFileSync on unchanged files using daemon-adapter-cache.json
keyed by the file hash already stored in graph.db. Open GraphStore once
in Step 1b and reuse it in Step 4 — no duplicate DB connections.

Also migrate brownfield-fix and brownfield-gaps skills to query graph.db
instead of reading dep-graph.json for gap checks. Fix imported_by_count
column reference in getPrimaryFlows (replaced with subquery).
…R.md

daemon-detector: route patterns by file extension (.js/.ts → JS patterns,
.swift/.m → BGTaskScheduler/Timer/NotificationCenter/XPC patterns, .go →
goroutine/ticker patterns, .plist in LaunchDaemons → label extraction).
Eliminates false positives from .on()/.emit() firing on Swift files.

adapter-detector: same language scoping. Add Swift patterns (Alamofire,
URLSession, CoreData, Realm, Firebase suite, StoreKit, RevenueCat, Keychain)
and Go patterns (database/sql, gorm, pgx, go-redis, grpc, sarama, amqp).

master-md: when API key is present, build a compact context bundle (~1k tokens)
and generate the full MASTER.md in one LLM call. Falls back to template when
no key or LLM fails.
…ersioning

TEST_RE: add iOS (Tests.swift, Spec.swift, /Tests/), Go (_test.go), and
Android (Test.kt, /androidTest/) patterns to all 4 locations so XCTest
files drive testCoverage correctly instead of showing 0.

comment-intel: add MARK to TAG_RE and SEVERITY map so iOS // MARK: - sections
are captured as tagged comments. Add swiftlint:/swiftformat: to NOISE_RE
so those directives are filtered rather than counted as dev comments.

daemon-adapter cache: bump version to 2 so stale zero entries from before
language-scoped detection are discarded on next map run. Version is stored
in cache file and checked on load — mismatch triggers full re-detection.
…t just comments

Three fixes:
1. Prompt: instruct LLM to infer from file names and exports when no comments
   exist — 'AuthViewController' is enough to write a purpose sentence.
2. Filter: include all non-empty modules instead of only high-risk/entry-point
   ones. File names alone provide enough signal for isBizFeature classification.
3. maxTokens: 800 → 1400 to prevent JSON truncation in batches of 10 modules.
4. Digest: use basename + role in file list, keep comments concise.
C files use #include (not tracked as graph imports), so importedBy is
always empty — previously caused 187/375 nodes to be wrongly flagged as
entry points. Now C/C++/ObjC files only get is_entry=1 when they contain
an actual main() definition.

Also write classifyRole() results back to the nodes.role column during
the summarize pipeline, and extend is_test detection in store.js to cover
iOS (Tests.swift, UITests.swift), Go (_test.go), and Android (Test.kt,
/androidTest/) naming conventions.
…a to MASTER.md

Plist files (LaunchDaemons/LaunchAgents) were never collected by graph.js
so detectDaemons() never ran on them. Added a dedicated plist walk in cli.js
after the main detection loop — finds any .plist under LaunchDaemons/ or
LaunchAgents/ and runs daemon detection independently of the graph.

Also fixed two data-flow gaps: daemonsByFile/adaptersByFile were passed to
summarize() but never converted and forwarded to generateMasterMd(), so the
LLM context bundle always had empty daemons/adapters arrays. Now both are
converted to byKind maps and passed through.

Raised MASTER.md maxTokens from 1400 to 3000 to allow full document output.
…ce and 3 modes

- Add Mode 0 skeleton for unmapped codebases (no graph.db)
- Implement entry point confidence scoring (0-100) with signals
- Add Suggested reading order section with 1/2/3 options based on confidence
- Show confidence-scored entry points table (replaces flat bullet list)
- Fix product orientation LLM fallback (prevent silent failures)
- Update generateWithLlm prompt to include reading order section
- Add deterministic orientation fallback (from package.json)
- Pass entryPointsWithConfidence to LLM context

High confidence (>=80%): show 1 reading order
Moderate confidence (50-79%): show primary + alternative + caveat
Low confidence (<50%): show 3 options + 'improve coverage' prompt

New helpers: generateMode0Skeleton, generateReadingOrder, confidenceLabel, generateDeterministicOrientation

Code Review

This pull request significantly enhances the codebase analysis capabilities by introducing a persistent SQLite-based graph database that stores enriched metadata, including file roles, entry point confidence, background daemons, and external adapters. The update includes new detection logic for these patterns across multiple languages and a revamped MASTER.md generation process that utilizes LLM-powered insights for product orientation and architecture overviews. Feedback on the changes identifies critical omissions in the MockDatabase implementation within store.js, specifically the lack of support for deleting edges and incomplete filtering in edge queries, which could lead to stale or inaccurate data during incremental analysis.

The DELETE FROM edges operation is currently a no-op in the mock database. This will cause stale data to persist during incremental updates, leading to incorrect dependency graphs.

if (sql.includes('FROM edges')) {
if (sql.includes('source = ?')) return db._data.edges.filter(e => e.source === arg1);
if (sql.includes('target = ?')) return db._data.edges.filter(e => e.target === arg1);
if (sql.includes('kind = ?')) return db._data.edges.filter(e => e.target === arg1 && e.kind === arg2);

The kind filter in the mock database edges query is incomplete. It should also filter by source if provided, otherwise it may return edges from different sources that happen to have the same target and kind.
