fix(group): make degraded links, sync warnings and UID-only impact actually work (#3113)
* feat(group-surface): impact selector pass-through + degraded links + sync hygiene

- @group impact forwards target_uid/file_path/kind through service port
  and cross-impact impactParams (was dead-wired: params accepted at MCP
  boundary then dropped at validation).
- crossLinks with unresolved provider symbols carry degraded: true,
  derived at the persistence boundary after merge/dedupe; sync reports
  'degraded links: N' and per-repo extraction failures instead of
  swallowing them; bridge write failures surface as sync warnings;
  contracts.json passes through dedupeContracts.
- Absolute-URL branch restores %7B/%7D around {param} after URL parsing.
- tests: consumer matrix + wildcard folding + degraded pins (261 new);
  SCHEMA_BUMP pin 47 -> 48 (wildcardImports cache shape); sync.ts NUL
  byte rewritten as text escape (no longer binary to git).

* fix(group): impact selector pass-through, degraded links, sync failure hygiene

- @group impact forwards target_uid/file_path/kind through the service
  port into cross-impact impactParams. These were accepted at the MCP
  boundary and then dropped in validation — a dead wire: disambiguating
  an ambiguous impact target never actually reached the per-member impact.
- Cross-links whose provider endpoint never resolves to a graph symbol are
  marked degraded: true at the single persistence boundary (post
  merge/dedupe, before re-export), counted as SyncResult.degradedLinks,
  and surfaced by the sync summary ('degraded links: N') — the remedy
  (re-analyze the provider repo) is documented on the field.
- Sync failure hygiene: a repo whose per-repo extraction throws records
  its reason in SyncResult.failedRepos (still lands in missingRepos, so
  downstream semantics are unchanged) instead of the old silent swallow
  that could persist half a repo's contracts; operator warnings
  accumulate in SyncResult.warnings.

Tests: cross-impact selector threading, degraded-link marking, per-repo
failure reporting.

* style: prettier

* fix(group): make degraded links, sync warnings and UID-only impact actually work

The three fixes this branch claims were wired at the type and payload level
but never at the boundary that produces the values:

- `degraded` was only ever cleared by the exported `dedupeCrossLinks`, which
  the sync path does not use, so `degradedLinks` was always 0. Derivation now
  lives in one exported `applyDegradedFlag` that both the sync finalize and
  the post-merge re-derivation call.
- The bridge-write catch logged an operator warning and dropped it, leaving
  `warnings` permanently `[]`.
- `@group impact` rejected a UID-only call before it parsed `target_uid`, so
  the documented "re-call with target_uid" disambiguation loop was
  unreachable in group mode even though the selectors were forwarded.
- `failedRepos[].repo` reported the registry display name while the repo
  landed in `unreadableRepos` under its group path, so the two lists could
  not be joined; the JSDoc also pointed at the wrong list.
- Restored the truncated `READ THE RESULT:` heading in the group_sync tool
  description and documented degradedLinks / failedRepos / warnings.

Tests pin each value at the boundary that produces it, including the exact
group_sync wire shape, which previously omitted all three new fields.

fix(group): stop reporting what could not be measured as a measurement of zero (#3012)
* fix: surface unreadable group indexes and escape raw NUL bytes in source

Two independent diagnostics failures, both of which turn a real error into a
confident, benign-looking answer.

**Unreadable member repos (#3011).** `syncGroup` wrapped `initLbug` plus all
contract extraction for each member in a bare `catch {}` that pushed the repo
onto `missingRepos` and discarded the error. A LadybugDB storage-version
mismatch therefore surfaced as "repo not found", `group sync` printed
`0 contracts, 0 cross-links` and exited 0, and the existing contracts.json was
overwritten with an empty registry. The two states need different answers from
the operator — a missing repo must be indexed, an unreadable one is usually
version skew or a lock — so they are now separate:

- the caught error is logged with the repo, group path and lbug path
- `unreadableRepos` is tracked alongside `missingRepos` on `SyncResult`,
  persisted (optionally, so older registries still parse) on `ContractRegistry`,
  and threaded through `GroupService` sync/status
- `group sync` reports both before the cascade counts, since an unread repo is
  the likely explanation for a small or empty count
- `group status` reports unreadable repos separately; calling them "missing"
  actively misdescribed them
- when EVERY configured repo fails to open, the write is skipped: an extraction
  that read nothing is not evidence the group has no contracts, and replacing a
  good registry with an empty one loses data while reporting success

**Raw NUL bytes (#3010).** `sync.ts` and `free-call-fallback.ts` each used a NUL
as a join delimiter, written as a literal 0x00 instead of `\0`. Identical at
runtime, but it makes the file test as binary: `file(1)` reports `data`, ugrep
returns empty with exit 1 — indistinguishable from "no match", with no message —
and BSD grep replaces matching lines with "Binary file ... matches". A search
that should hit comes back as a confident "not present". Both now use the escape,
and a unit test fails on any raw control byte in src/ so it cannot silently
return.

* test(hygiene): guard every tracked source file against a raw NUL, not just src/

The guard added with the NUL escapes only scanned gitnexus/src for .ts/.tsx.
Neither prior recurrence of this defect in this repo was in that scope:
b620773b1 was gitnexus/bench/cpp-qualified-ns/measure.mjs and 38d737bb5 was a
fixture under gitnexus/test. A guard that cannot see where the bug has actually
landed twice is not a guard.

Drive the file list from `git ls-files` at the repository root over
.ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx/.mjs/.cjs/.mts/.cts — 2483 files instead of 828 — and split
the byte class, which is the part that matters:

  - 0x00 is a hard failure repo-wide. It is the byte git's binary heuristic
    keys on, so it is the one that costs a file its diff (and, on the base side
    of a PR, its inline-comment anchors and its three-way merge).
  - The wider C0 class stays scoped to gitnexus/src. A repo-wide scan finds
    exactly one hit, test/unit/logger.test.ts:146, and that 0x1b is a
    legitimate ANSI-escape fixture that is the subject of the test. Widening
    this half would go red on day one.

Read Buffers and scan bytes instead of decoding each file to latin1, through a
bounded read pool: 1.5 s for 2483 files, against 8-21 s previously for 828.

Add a negative fixture — a planted 0x00 and 0x1b run through the same scanning
helper — so a future refactor of the collector cannot leave a permanently green
guard, plus an assertion that the collected set still reaches bench/, test/ and
.mjs, which goes red if the scope is ever narrowed back.

* fix(group): report a cross-repo impact built from an incomplete bridge as truncated

When a sync cannot read a member repo, that repo's contracts and every
cross-link touching them are simply absent from bridge.lbug. Nothing in the
impact walk could notice: the only incompleteness channel on a
GroupImpactResult is truncationFields(), which is driven by fan-out state
(truncatedRepos / localPartial / fanoutTimedOut), and a repo missing from the
bridge sets none of them.

So `group impact` on a symbol whose one downstream consumer lives in an
unreadable repo returned `{ cross: [], truncated: false }` — "complete: nothing
in another repo depends on this". That is a wrong answer, not an empty one, for
a tool an agent uses to license a delete or a rename.

BridgeMeta now records unreadableRepos alongside missingRepos, writeBridge
persists it when non-empty, and runGroupImpact folds a non-empty
unreadableRepos ∪ missingRepos into truncated / riskEpistemic: 'lower-bound',
naming the repos in truncatedRepos.

The reason is a new 'incomplete-sync' rather than the existing 'partial'
because the remedy differs: 'timeout' and 'partial' are runtime limits the same
query can clear on a retry, while this one clears only when `gitnexus group
sync` succeeds. Runtime limits still take precedence when both apply, since
those are what the caller can act on immediately.

The risk VALUE is never clamped down — mergeRisk is monotone in the traversed
crossing count, so an incomplete bridge can only under-report. Marking the floor
is what makes that legible.

Both shape changes are additive and optional, so a bridge written before this
still reads.

* fix(group): say truthfully what a sync did to contracts.json

Review follow-ups to the unreadable-repo diagnostics. Every item below is a
place where the code still answered a question it could not answer.

1. The CLI announced a write it did not perform. `group sync` printed "Wrote
   contracts.json (0 contracts, 0 cross-links)" unconditionally, including on
   the path that deliberately left the file alone. SyncResult now carries
   registryOutcome ('written' | 'preserved' | 'not-attempted'), the CLI prints
   from it, and group_sync returns it so an agent that calls group_sync then
   group_contracts can tell why the counts disagree.

2. Refusing to write anything on total failure threw away the diagnostic
   describing the run that just happened. `group status` reads contracts.json
   from disk, so the operator who saw the sync fail and ran status to find out
   why read the PREVIOUS sync's file: no unreadable list, an old lastSync, a
   healthy-looking group — or worse, the previous run's unreadable list
   presented as this one's. The skip is now targeted: contracts, crossLinks,
   repoSnapshots and generatedAt carry forward verbatim, only missingRepos and
   unreadableRepos are refreshed. generatedAt stays put because it dates the
   contracts, which are still the previous run's. With no prior file, or an
   unparseable one, nothing is written at all.

3. Per-repo extraction is now all-or-nothing. Extractors run in sequence and
   any one can throw; appending each one's results straight to autoContracts
   meant a repo whose HTTP extractor succeeded and whose gRPC extractor then
   failed contributed a partial set to the registry, while the same run told
   the operator that repo's "contracts are omitted from this sync".

4. readRegistry gains an opt-in strict mode, and syncGroup uses it. The lenient
   `catch { return []; }` converted "I could not read the registry" into "no
   repo is registered": every configured repo then resolved to MISSING, the
   total-failure guard stayed off (it needs a load error), and a good
   contracts.json was replaced by an empty one at exit 0. That is an unreadable
   condition reported as missing, one frame above the code this branch fixes.
   The default stays lenient for the other nine callers; ENOENT stays lenient
   in both modes.

5. Absence of unreadableRepos keeps meaning "not recorded". The loader spreads
   the key in only when present instead of defaulting to [], and getStatus
   passes undefined through, so a legacy registry no longer reads as "the last
   sync found none unreadable". getStatus also gates both list fields on
   Array.isArray: it reads through readContractRegistry, which is a bare
   JSON.parse cast, so a corrupt string in either slot used to reach
   cli/group.ts and die in .join(', ') — the command whose job is explaining an
   unreadable thing, crashing on one.

6. Smaller, same theme: the per-repo warning passes the Error itself rather
   than err.message, so pino keeps the stack; the total-failure warning no
   longer fires on a dry run, where it described a file the call was never
   going to touch and which need not exist; the status table's MISSING legend
   stops re-conflating the two states; the sync warning drops its
   GITNEXUS_LOG_LEVEL=warn hint, which would only have suppressed output (pino
   emits warn at the default info level, so the reason was already printed);
   and the group_sync tool description and its idempotency comment now describe
   what the tool actually does.

Testing. The original four cases could not see the change they were named
after. Mutation testing showed two survivors: dropping the ===
configuredRepoCount conjunct, which turns "every repo failed" into "any repo
failed" and would silently freeze contracts.json for a group where one of five
repos is skewed; and deleting both logger.warn calls, the stated purpose of the
change. Both survived because every case configured exactly one repo and
nothing read the log. There is now a two-repo case running the real per-repo
loop, an all-missing case, a _captureLogger assertion on the level 40 record,
partial-extraction cases, and strict-read cases. All five mutants are killed,
each by exactly one test.

* fix(group): tighten the registry list gates and stop naming a truncation reason on complete results

Three follow-ups from the check bot's pass over the previous commits.

1. `detect.includes` was missing from both group-sync test fixtures, so they did
   not satisfy the `GroupConfig` they claim to construct. It went unnoticed
   because `tsconfig.json` is src-only; `tsconfig.test.json` reports it. The
   older of the two fixtures carried the gap in from the original commit.

2. `runGroupImpact` named its truncation reason in a variable computed before
   the truncated check, so on a fully complete result the variable read
   'incomplete-sync'. `truncationFields` discards the reason when `truncated` is
   false, so nothing surfaced — but a value that is wrong whenever it is unused
   is a trap for the next reader. Computed inline at the one call site that can
   consult it, which is also how the neighbouring call sites are written.

3. `Array.isArray` alone let a corrupt registry through. `['app/backend']` and
   `[{repo:'x'}]` are both arrays, and only the second reaches `cli/group.ts`'s
   `.join(', ')` — as `[object Object]`, a measurement the operator can read but
   cannot act on. Both readers now go through one `recordedRepoList` helper that
   requires an array of strings; anything else is "not recorded", the same as
   absent. Two more rows in the corrupt-value table cover it.

* fix(group): keep readRegistry's signature, and stop describing unreadableRepos as index-only

Two items from the check bot's blocking pass.

1. `readRegistry` gained an optional `opts` parameter last commit. That is
   source-compatible — every zero-argument call still compiles and behaves
   identically — but the contract check treats any parameter-list change on a
   symbol with outside callers as a break, and it is right that the safest
   version of this change touches that signature not at all. The strict read is
   now its own export, `readRegistryStrict()`, over a shared private body.
   `readRegistry()` is byte-identical to what it was; `syncGroup` is the only
   caller of the strict one, and the mode is legible at the call site instead of
   hiding in an options bag.

2. `unreadableRepos` is described everywhere as "the index could not be opened".
   That was accurate before this branch and is not now: making per-repo
   extraction all-or-nothing means a repo also lands there when an extractor
   throws partway with the index open fine. The two belong in one bucket
   because the consequence is one thing — none of that repo's contracts are in
   this sync — but the docs have to say so, or an operator reads `unreadableRepos`
   as a storage diagnosis and goes looking at LadybugDB for an extractor bug.
   Corrected on `ContractRegistry`, `BridgeMeta`, `SyncResult`, the `group_sync`
   tool description, and the `group sync` console output, which now says
   "Could not extract contracts from" rather than "Could not read the index for".

* fix(cli): stop calling an unreadable registry an old one in group status

`getStatus` reports `unreadableRepos` as `undefined` for two different reasons:
the field is genuinely absent, or it held something that was not a list of repo
paths and the shape gate declined to guess. The status line named only the
first — "registry predates this field" — so a corrupt value read as a merely
old registry.

That is the same shape of wrong answer this command exists to stop giving: a
condition we could not read, presented as a benign one we understand. The line
now names both, and asks for a sync either way, which is the fix in both cases.

* fix(group): close the three fail-open paths left on the safety boundaries

Follow-ups from the re-review of 31c2b6e81. All three of its blocking findings
reproduce; each is a place where unknown state still resolved to a confident
benign answer, which is the one thing this branch exists to stop.

1. Strict registry reading accepted malformed rows. `[{}]` is a JSON array, so
   it passed the shape check: every configured repo then failed to resolve into
   `missingRepos`, none produced a load ERROR, the total-failure guard stayed
   off, and a good contracts.json was replaced with an empty one at exit 0 —
   the same fail-open the strict mode was added to close, one level down from
   the file to the rows inside it. Strict mode now requires `name`, `path` and
   `storagePath` on every row and rejects the WHOLE registry if any row fails.
   Rejecting rather than filtering is the point: dropping bad rows would report
   the repos they name as unregistered, which is the same wrong answer again.
   `indexedAt` / `lastCommit` are deliberately not required — callers already
   default them, so demanding them would trade a fail-open for a fail-shut on a
   legitimate legacy registry.

2. A failed bridge publication could make impact look complete. `writeBridge`
   swaps `bridge.lbug` and writes `meta.json` as two operations, and this branch
   made that meta load-bearing: `runGroupImpact` derives its truncation fields
   from it. A sync interrupted between the two steps therefore left a NEW bridge
   beside the PREVIOUS sync's metadata, and an impact query read that as
   "complete". Fixed from both ends. The write path removes the old meta before
   the swap, so the window leaves metadata ABSENT rather than stale. The read
   path treats absent-or-unparseable meta (`version: 0`) as unknown provenance
   and reports a floor, which also covers the caught `writeBridge` failure in
   `syncGroup`. Over-reporting truncation on a bridge that is actually fine is
   the safe direction, and the next successful sync clears it.

3. `preserved` was returned when there was nothing to preserve. On a group's
   first all-unreadable sync the outcome was set before the prior registry was
   read, so the CLI told an operator "the contracts from the previous sync are
   preserved" about a file that had never existed. Split out as
   `no-prior-registry`, with its own console message.

Also widened the NUL guard to the source languages it claimed to cover. The
commit that added it said "every tracked source file" while the collector
stopped at the JS/TS family, so a raw NUL in tracked Python, Java, Go, Rust,
C/C++, Ruby, PHP, Kotlin, Swift, C# or shell would still have turned those files
binary unnoticed. Measured before widening: 2315 non-JS tracked source files,
zero hits, so this was an unforced gap rather than a tradeoff. A planted `.py`
fixture and a collector-coverage assertion keep it honest.

Every fix is mutation-verified: reverting each one individually turns its own
tests red (3, 2, 2, 1 and 1 failures respectively), and all pass together.

* fix(group): record the empty unreadable measurement instead of dropping it

Both writers omitted `unreadableRepos` when it was empty, which made the
tri-state this branch introduced unreachable in its most common case.

`ContractRegistry.unreadableRepos` is optional on the TYPE so a registry written
before the field existed still parses, and absence there means "not recorded".
But a sync that read every repo successfully HAS measured it, and `[]` is that
measurement. Dropping it collapsed "measured, none" into "never recorded", so
after every clean sync `gitnexus group status` printed

    Last sync unreadable repos: not recorded
    (the registry predates this field, or its value could not be read)
    Re-run `gitnexus group sync` to record it.

about the sync that had just succeeded. The distinction is only worth having if
the writer commits to it, so both `contracts.json` and the bridge's `meta.json`
now record the field whenever the sync supplied it, `[]` included.

The check bot found this on the bridge writer and attributed the consequence to
`group status`. The consequence is real but it is not the bridge's: `getStatus`
reads `contracts.json` and never touches `BridgeMeta`, whose only consumer is
`runGroupImpact` — where absent and empty are already equivalent. So the
user-visible half was in the registry writer, one file over from where it was
reported, and both are fixed.

Also fills in `DetectConfig.includes` (and `workspace_deps`) across the group
test fixtures that predate those fields. These are pre-existing on main and are
a no-op at runtime — `undefined` and `false` are both falsy at the gate — but
they are the same defect the bot flagged as an error in the new fixtures, and
`tsconfig.test.json` reported eleven of them. That file is not in CI, which is
why they survived; the group tree is now clean of them.

* test(group): stop two bridge-metadata tests claiming coverage they do not have

Both were named for the swap window and neither injects a swap failure.

"drops the previous meta.json before swapping the database file" runs two
successful writeBridge calls. Its assertions hold with the removal in either
position, because writeBridge overwrites meta.json at the end regardless — so
it cannot pin the ordering it is named for. Renamed to what it does cover, the
successful-rebuild replacement, with the limit stated in the body rather than
left for the next reader to discover.

"leaves NO meta.json when the swap fails partway" removes the file by hand
after a successful write, so it exercises readBridgeMeta's missing-file
contract, not writeBridge. That contract is worth pinning on its own — version 0
is the signal runGroupImpact fails closed on — so the test stays, under a name
that says so.

The ordering itself is pinned in bridge-meta-swap-window.test.ts, which mocks
retryRename to throw on the bridge.lbug swap and asserts the previous sync's
metadata cannot survive it. Both renamed tests now point there, so the coverage
is findable from the place someone would look for it.

No production code changes.

* fix(group): pair bridge metadata to its database instead of deleting it

The previous commit closed the swap/metadata window by removing meta.json before
the database swap, so the window would fail to "absent" rather than "stale". That
was the wrong trade, and it destroyed recoverable state.

The old database's move to `.bak` sits inside a catch that swallows failures, not
just "no existing db". When that rename fails — a held read-only handle does this
on Windows, and a long-lived MCP server holds one — the failure is swallowed, the
following `tmp -> bridge.lbug` throws, and writeBridge exits with the OLD database
still in place and perfectly valid. Its metadata was already deleted. Cross-repo
impact then answers "we cannot say" for that group until some future sync
succeeds, and if the cause is a held handle or permissions there is no such sync.
A working feature, destroyed permanently to close a narrow window.

Deleting also only chose which way the window failed; it never closed it.

So destroy nothing, and make the pair self-describing instead: writeBridge stamps
the database's size and mtime into the metadata it writes, and
`bridgeMetaMatchesFile` lets a reader ask whether the two still belong together.
`runGroupImpact` treats a mismatch the same as absent metadata — provenance
unknown, report a floor. A metadata file left over from an earlier sync cannot
match a freshly renamed database, and a sync that fails before the swap leaves a
matching pair untouched. Metadata written before the stamp existed is
unverifiable rather than stale, and is accepted: failing those closed would mark
every pre-existing bridge incomplete, trading a narrow window for a repo-wide
regression.

The swap-window test now distinguishes the two failure shapes, because they want
different answers. When every rename fails the old database never moves, so the
surviving metadata still matches it and impact keeps answering from it. When only
the final rename fails the old database has already reached `.bak` and no
database is in place, so the metadata correctly matches nothing — and
`ensureBridgeReady` fails loudly on the absent file, which beats a silent floor.

Mutation-verified: reinstating the delete, neutering the pairing check, and
dropping the stamp each turn 2, 3 and 3 tests red respectively.

* chore: keep TypeScript diffs readable after a NUL leaves the tree

Git decides a pair is binary when EITHER blob carries a NUL, and it only
sniffs the first 8000 bytes. `gitnexus/src/core/group/sync.ts` carried one
at byte 5132 on main. This branch removes it, but the base side still has
it, so the file renders as "Binary files differ" in the pull request: no
hunks, no inline comments, and no three-way merge — however clean the head
side is. A head-side byte guard cannot detect that, by construction, since
it only ever sees the working tree.

Setting the `diff` attribute stops the heuristic from hiding the change.
It does not mark the files binary, does not imply `text`, and does not
change how blobs are stored, normalized, or checked out — the root
`* text=auto eol=lf` still governs all of that. It affects diff generation

* fix(group): answer "provenance unknown" for malformed bridge metadata

`readBridgeMeta` guarded the read and the parse but not the SHAPE of what it
parsed, then cast the result. `runGroupImpact` spread both repo lists straight
into a Set, so a `meta.json` whose `missingRepos` held an object threw a
TypeError out of the entire cross-repo query — and threw it from a point after
`ensureBridgeReady` had taken the bridge lease and before the `try` whose
`finally` releases it, so every such query also leaked a refcount the cached
handle could never get back. A malformed file is a reason to answer "we cannot
say", never a reason to crash the question.

The shape gate now lives where the metadata is read, mirroring the one
`service.ts` already applies to the registry's copies of these same two lists.
Each list is judged independently: a garbage `unreadableRepos` no longer
discards a `missingRepos` that was genuinely measured. A list that was present
but unusable is dropped rather than normalized to `[]`, because an unreadable
value is not a measurement of zero — the new reader-side `repoListsUnreadable`
carries that distinction, and `runGroupImpact` folds it into the same
provenance-unknown verdict it already reaches for `version: 0` and for
metadata that does not pair with the database beside it.

A root that is not an object is closed too. `JSON.parse` succeeds on `null`,
`7` and `[]`; the first threw on `.version`, and the other two read `undefined`
and sailed through the version gate as if the bridge had been vouched for.

Both provenance values moved inside the protected region and are initialized
fail-closed, so a future throw between the lease and the walk releases rather
than wedges.

`repoListsUnreadable` is reader-side only: the sole `writeBridgeMeta` call site
builds a fresh literal, so nothing persists it and no schema version moves.

Mutation-verified: reverting the shape gate alone turns 4 tests red — the three
malformed-list scenarios plus the handle-release regression.

* fix(storage): reject registry rows that cannot identify a repo

The strict read's row gate gave `typeof v === 'string'`, and `typeof '' ===
'string'`. A row whose `name` was blank therefore passed as resolvable, then
matched nothing in `defaultResolveHandle` — putting every configured repo in
`missingRepos` and presenting an unusable registry as a clean answer about an
empty one. That is the same unreadable-as-missing fail-open the strict mode
exists to close, one level further in. A blank `storagePath` is worse than
useless: it joins to a relative `lbug` under the current directory, so the sync
opens an index that is not the repo's.

Both now have to be non-blank after trimming. `path` stays at the bare string
check, on the same reasoning that already exempts `indexedAt`/`lastCommit`:
require only what resolution depends on to IDENTIFY the repo. This gate rejects
the whole registry and the registry is machine-wide, so a field tightened past
what identification needs would let one blank value in one row break every
group sync on the machine — including groups whose repos all resolve. A blank
`path` still yields a working handle; `defaultResolveHandle` does read it, but
only for the pool id and `repoPath`, neither of which decides whether the row
names a repo.

The error now says what is actually wrong instead of naming three fields that
are all present.

Mutation-verified in both directions: dropping the trim turns the three
rejection tests red, and applying the wider fix that was considered and
declined — tightening `path` too — turns exactly the counter-case red, so that
test genuinely pins the narrow reading rather than passing either way.

* fix(group): bound the per-repo contract staging append

`autoContracts.push(...repoContracts)` passes every staged contract as a
separate argument, and the engine caps how many arguments one call may take.
That cap is a function of the host's available stack, so it is a different
number on every machine — this one accepts a 125k-element spread and dies at
150k.

The spread itself is not new; what it carries is. Before staging, this line
appended a single extractor's output as it came back. Staging made it carry the
whole repo's, which is enough for a large repo to raise `RangeError: Maximum
call stack size exceeded` on the one line whose job is to commit work that just
succeeded. The throw lands in the catch below, so the sync reports a repo whose
extractors all ran cleanly as one whose index could not be read — a crash
wearing the costume of a diagnostic.

A bounded loop replaces it: the count a repo can stage is now bounded by memory
rather than by how much stack the process happened to get.

The guard is structural, not size-based, and deliberately so. A "make the
fixture big enough to crash" test passes against unfixed code on any host with
a larger stack, which is exactly the guarantee a regression gate cannot give
up. It walks the AST and locates the region by role — the `const` staging
buffer typed `StoredContract[]`, then the extractor `try` that is a direct
statement of the block declaring it — so renaming either identifier keeps it
pointed at the same code. `.apply()` is rejected alongside spread, being the
same hazard in different syntax.

Direct statements only, because `syncGroup` wraps this whole section in its own
try/finally for the lease sweep, and that ancestor reads the buffer too.
Matching any enclosing `try` pulls in the entire function body — including the
two windowed-manifest spreads, which are bounded by the window size and are not
what this fixes.

Mutation-verified in both directions: restoring the spread turns the gate red
naming that line alone; deleting a manifest-window spread, and separately
adding a third one, both leave it green.

* fix(group): keep unreadable repos out of manifest contracts too

Per-repo staging closed one door: a repo whose extractor threw contributes
nothing through the direct path. Deferred manifest resolution was a second
door, still open. It derives its known-repo set from the resolved-handle map,
which kept an entry for a repo the same run had already declared unreadable —
so the sync re-opened that index and resolved symbols against a database it had
just told the operator it could not read.

Deleting the handle in the catch stops the re-open, but it does not satisfy
R2 on its own: `ManifestExtractor` resolves both endpoints of a link and emits
a contract for each, and for an endpoint with no executor that contract is
still emitted with a synthetic UID. The registry ended up naming a repo the
same run reported unreadable.

So the emitted output is filtered by ENDPOINT, not by link. Dropping the whole
link would delete the healthy partner's contract as well — a repo losing its
own output because a neighbour's index would not open, which is wider than the
requirement and destroys good data to suppress bad. A cross-link is different:
it asserts something about a pair, so if either end is unreadable there is
nothing left to anchor it to, and a half-anchored link is exactly the
confident-about-what-it-could-not-read answer the registry must not give.

Deleting the handle also changed what the operator gets told, so the warning is
split. An unreadable repo IS configured; letting it fall into the "references
repos not in config.repos" branch states something false and sends the reader
to edit group.yaml for a problem only re-indexing fixes. It now gets its own
message naming what was actually omitted.

Mutation-verified four ways: reverting the endpoint filter turns three
scenarios red; the over-broad whole-link variant turns the healthy-partner
scenario red and nothing else; removing the handle delete turns the
no-re-open scenario red; and reverting the warning split turns the operator-
message scenario red. Every assertion reads the written contracts.json rather
than the in-memory result.

* refactor(group): keep readBridgeMeta's signature stable across the shape gate

The shape gate landed by widening the return type to a reader-only
`ReadBridgeMeta extends BridgeMeta`. That is source-compatible — a covariant
return, one added optional field, every existing caller unaffected, typecheck
and suite clean — but the contract check reads it as a changed signature with a
caller left behind, and blocks the merge on it. This branch already hit the
same wall on `readRegistry` and settled it the same way: leave the signature
alone and make the difference legible some other way.

So the flag moves onto `BridgeMeta` itself as an optional, documented,
never-persisted field, and `readBridgeMeta` goes back to the exact signature
its callers already compile against.

That is the better shape here anyway. The reader-only subtype would have split
the validation two ways: `openBridgeDbReadOnly` and `bridgeExists` both gate on
`meta.version`, and the normalization that comes with the gate is what stops a
`version: null` in a hand-edited meta.json from reading as `undefined` and
sailing through `version > 0` as though the bridge had been vouched for. One
type keeps all three callers behind the same guard.

Nothing persists the flag: `writeBridgeMeta`'s only caller builds a fresh
literal, so it cannot round-trip to disk.

No behavior change — pure type restructuring. 927 tests pass, typecheck clean.

* fix(group): stop treating a half-written bridge stamp as a verified match

`bridgeMetaMatchesFile` joined its two `undefined` checks with `||`, so
metadata carrying a size and no mtime — or the reverse — returned `true`, the
same answer it gives a fully verified pair.

A stamp is a PAIR. Both halves absent is the legacy shape: metadata written
before stamping existed, which cannot be verified either way and is accepted
deliberately, because failing it closed would mark every pre-existing bridge
incomplete until re-synced. Exactly one half present is not that. Something
wrote a stamp and did not finish, which is precisely the condition stamping was
added to detect — so the check handed back "verified" for the one shape that
most deserves suspicion, and a cross-repo impact query built on it would report
a confident answer about a database its metadata cannot vouch for.

The two states are now separated: neither half present accepts, exactly one
rejects as provenance-unknown, both compare against the file as before.

Found by the repository's own contract check, not by the plan.

Mutation-verified: restoring the `||` form turns both half-stamp cases red
while the legacy and fully-stamped controls stay green, so the pair genuinely
pins the distinction rather than passing either way.

* fix(group): pair unstamped bridge metadata by write order, before any open

Unstamped metadata was waved through: `bridgeMetaMatchesFile` returned "matches"
for any pair with no stamp to check, so the stale-meta-beside-a-new-database
window stayed open for every bridge written before stamping existed, and
`runGroupImpact` spent that metadata's completeness as fact.

`writeBridge` renames the database into place and writes the metadata after, so
`meta.mtime >= db.mtime` holds for any pair written together — including by
builds that predate the stamp. A database strictly newer than the metadata
beside it can only come from a swap whose metadata write did not land. That is
the fallback now. It is a heuristic on write order, not proof of provenance, and
it is wrong in two directions: a stale metadata file touched after the swap
still reads as paired, and a pair whose clock stepped backwards between the two
writes reads as unpaired. Both are recorded at the code; the second is the safe
direction. Equality counts as paired, or a coarse-granularity filesystem would
reject every legacy bridge for a reason that is about the filesystem.

The verdict is now taken in `ensureBridgeReady` BEFORE the database is opened,
and carried on the metadata rather than recomputed afterwards.

That ordering is load-bearing, not tidiness. Impact and trace both open the
bridge and only then ask about provenance, so on any platform or LadybugDB
build where a read-only open advances the file's mtime, every pre-stamp bridge
would report provenance-unknown from its first query onward — the exact
repo-wide regression this rule was chosen to avoid, arriving as a silent
downgrade rather than an error. It does not happen on Linux, which was measured.
It cannot be measured on Windows: pinning it by really opening the database
needs an in-process write→read reopen of the same bridge.lbug, which is a
documented limitation there. Rather than ship a Windows-skipped test and leave
the assumption unverified on the platform whose file semantics are most likely
to differ, the check moved ahead of the open so no platform has to be trusted.

The new guard forces the hostile case on every platform: the open is stubbed to
advance the database's mtime, and the verdict must still be "paired". It is
registered in the cross-platform list so the Windows and macOS shards run it,
and it has a control so it cannot pass vacuously.

Two existing fixtures mocked `readBridgeMeta` to return a stamped-era version
while never writing a meta.json — a state production cannot reach, since a
non-zero version can only come from a file that exists. They now write the
metadata their own mock claims to have read, rather than the helper being
loosened to accept metadata it cannot stat.

Mutation-verified twice: reverting the write-order branch turns both rejection
cases red while all four legacy-accept cases stay green, and moving the pairing
call back after the open turns the ordering guard red on its own.

* refactor(group): compute cross-repo completeness in one place

Three surfaces can return a partial cross-repo answer — impact, trace, and the
contract listing — and each decided for itself whether it was complete. Impact
carried the structured triple; trace said it in prose, if at all. An agent
reading a not-found trace had no machine-readable way to tell "there is no
path" from "there may be a path in a repo this sync could not read", which is
the difference between an answer and a floor.

`crossRepoCompleteness` is now the one computation, and its input deliberately
does not name where any of it came from. `BridgeMeta` is not in the signature
and must not be: `groupContracts` answers the same question from contracts.json
and never opens a bridge, so `version`, `repoListsUnreadable` and
`pairedWithDatabase` do not exist on that path. Each caller derives its own
`provenanceUnknown` — the bridge callers through `bridgeProvenanceUnknown`,
which stays separate for exactly that reason — and passes the boolean in.

Scope arrives as a predicate rather than a repo list or a subgroup, so
narrowing a query's scope stays a change to one argument at the call site.

The trace results now carry `truncated` / `truncationReason` / `riskEpistemic`
like impact does. `notes` is untouched; it remains an addition to the machine
channel, never the channel.

One correction to the approach as written: it said to pass the trace's two
endpoint repos as the predicate, but a destination trace declares no `to`. It
asks where a call lands, so any member may hold the answer — and an unreadable
provider repo is precisely how "no outgoing ContractLink leaves this repo"
becomes a wrong answer rather than an empty one. Filtering that path to the
`from` repo would have reintroduced the bug this unit exists to close, so it
passes every repo and a test pins it.

Two pre-existing paths become consistent with the vocabulary as a result: a
crossing-capped result now reports `truncationReason: 'partial'` alongside the
`truncated` flag it already set, and the destination path's `ambiguous` returns
now report the cap its `ok` and `not_found` siblings already reported. Both are
additive — no field is removed, and no `truncated` flips from true to false.

`truncationFields` returns a discriminated union now, so `truncationReason`
reads without a fallback on the branch where it cannot be absent.

Mutation-verified: reverting the provenance fold alone — one line in the shared
helper — turns 8 tests red across both surfaces, 2 new trace scenarios and 6
existing impact ones, which is the point of there being one helper.

* fix(group): narrow the incomplete-repo set to the query's declared scope

A subgroup-scoped impact query was marked a lower bound by repos it had
explicitly excluded. The fan-out already drops every neighbour outside the
subgroup, so those repos could not have contributed a crossing to the answer —
and a completeness marker that fires on results it does not describe is how a
caller learns to ignore the marker.

The scope is the query's DECLARED one, not the one the walk reached. An
incomplete repo's contracts are absent from the bridge by definition, so it is
never in the traversed set; filtering on what was traversed would empty the
intersection on every query and silently restore the fail-open this channel
exists to close.

Declared scope here is the subgroup PLUS the query's own repo, which the
approach did not account for. The walk starts from that repo's contracts in the
bridge, so when it is the repo the sync could not read there are no crossings
to find under any scope — and a subgroup excluding it would have turned that
vacuum into a confident "nothing depends on this", for a tool an agent uses to
license a delete. That case reported a floor before this change, so narrowing to
the subgroup alone would have been a regression. The union only ever widens the
in-scope set, so it cannot re-mark a repo the query excluded.

Membership goes through the existing `repoInSubgroup` in both clauses, `exact`
for the origin equality, rather than growing a second notion of what it means
for a repo path to be in scope.

Sound only while `MAX_SUPPORTED_CROSS_DEPTH` is 1 — at depth 2 an out-of-scope
repo can sit between two in-scope ones — and that constraint is recorded at the
intersection.

Unscoped queries are byte-for-byte unchanged: `repoInSubgroup` answers true for
an absent subgroup, so the intersection is the whole set.

Mutation-verified: restoring the unfiltered predicate turns exactly the two
scoped cases red while the unscoped control and both in-scope guards stay green.

* fix(group): keep the preserved registry and the bridge from disagreeing

A total-failure sync refreshed contracts.json's diagnostic lists and left
meta.json alone. But meta.json, not contracts.json, is where runGroupImpact
reads completeness from — so the registry said "this sync could not read
app/backend" while a cross-repo query answered `{ cross: [], truncated: false }`.
Two surfaces describing the same run, one of them wrong, and the wrong one is
the machine-readable one an agent uses to license a delete.

The preserve path now refreshes the same two fields in the metadata. The
database stays untouched: it still holds the contracts being preserved, and
rebuilding it here would be the one write that could lose them.

Refreshing metadata is not free, though, and the obvious version of it is a
fail-open. The rewrite moves meta.json's mtime to now while bridge.lbug's stays
old, so an unstamped pair whose database is NEWER than its metadata — the shape
the write-order rule exists to reject — would come out of a preserve sync
passing the check. Writing "no stamp" does not help; the write-order comparison
is exactly what the moved mtime defeats. The verdict has to be recorded in the
metadata, because the refresh cannot avoid moving the mtime.

So `provenanceUnknown` is persisted whenever the existing pair does not already
check out, the existing stamp fields are carried through verbatim rather than
dropped, and `bridgeMetaMatchesFile` rejects the marker ahead of both the stamp
and the write-order heuristic. A pair that already matched is re-stamped
instead, which also upgrades a legacy unstamped-but-paired bridge to an exact
stamp. No preserve run can increase the number of pairs that pass the check.
The marker self-clears: `writeBridge` builds fresh metadata and never sets it.

`BridgeMeta` carries two reader-side fields documented as never persisted, and
this is the first code in the repo that reads metadata and writes it back. Both
are stripped explicitly before every write. `pairedWithDatabase` is the
dangerous one — persisted, it would tell every future reader the pair had been
verified — and a test seeds both on disk to pin that neither survives.

The write is not wrapped in a catch, unlike writeBridge on the success path.
There contracts.json is canonical and already written, so a stale bridge is a
recoverable degradation; here the write IS the guard against a confident wrong
answer, and swallowing its failure would reinstate the fail-open it closes.
`writeContractRegistry` above is unguarded into the same directory for the same
reason.

A group with neither file writes nothing: `readBridgeMeta` already answers
`version: 0` for an absent file, so a written one would say what the absence
already says while inventing state for a bridge that has never existed.

Mutation-verified three ways: dropping the marker write turns 6 red including
both laundering scenarios; moving the marker check below the stamp branches
turns the unstamped-laundering case red; removing the field stripping turns the
never-persisted test red. Each restored byte-exactly and re-verified.

* fix(group): report group_contracts' completeness in the shared vocabulary

`group_contracts` returned contracts and cross-links and said nothing about
whether that listing was the whole story. An agent reading it after a sync that
could not open half the group got a confident-looking list with no way to tell
it was a floor — the same fail-open the impact path already closed, on a surface
that had no channel for the answer at all.

It now returns the registry's two diagnostic lists and the structured triple,
folded through the same helper the impact and trace surfaces use, so the three
cannot drift. The helper takes no `BridgeMeta` precisely so this path — which
reads contracts.json and never opens a bridge — can share it.

The three registry states stay distinguishable, which is the point:
  - key absent: the registry predates the field and has no opinion about which
    indexes opened, so the key is omitted rather than invented as `[]`, and the
    listing reports a floor. It cannot say which repos the sync failed to read,
    so it cannot claim to be complete.
  - key present and empty: measured, clean, not truncated.
  - key present and populated: the repos, and a floor.

`incompleteRepos` is dropped on this surface alone: both lists it derives from
are returned verbatim beside it, and a third name for the same repos is drift
waiting to happen.

The import is lazy, matching `groupImpact` and `groupTrace` in this same class.
`cross-impact.js` statically pulls the native LadybugDB binding through
`bridge-db.js`, and `service.ts` is loaded by every `gitnexus group` subcommand
including ones that touch no database.

One fix inside the same file that this unit forced: the registry loader gated
`missingRepos` with a bare `Array.isArray`, which admits `[{repo:'x'}]`. That
was inert while nothing read the list, but this change both returns it and folds
it into the completeness answer — so an unreadable value would have been printed
as a repo name and would have flipped `truncated` on garbage. It now uses the
same `recordedRepoList` gate `group status` already applies to the same field.
`missingRepos` has always been required, so unlike `unreadableRepos` it has no
"not recorded" state to preserve and an unreadable value degrades to empty.

Mutation-verified: reverting the fold alone turns 14 tests red and leaves the
control — the contract and cross-link payload this tool has always returned —
green.

* fix(cli): stop dropping group contracts' completeness fields on the way out

`group contracts --json` destructured `{ contracts, crossLinks }` from the
service payload and rebuilt an object from just those two. Everything else the
service returned was discarded on the way to stdout — so the completeness
fields the MCP tool now carries were invisible at the CLI, and the two surfaces
disagreed about the same registry.

It prints the payload whole now. A field added to the service reaches `--json`
without a matching edit here, which is the point: the re-serialized subset was
a second place that had to be remembered, and it was not.

The human-readable path gains the same signal in words. A listing built from a
sync that could not read part of the group shows counts that are a floor, not a
census, and it named neither fact. It now says so and names the repos when the
registry recorded them — and says the sync did not record which repos it could
read when it did not, because a listing that cannot say what it is missing is
still incomplete.

Mutation-verified: restoring the re-serialized subset turns the `--json` case
and the control red.

* fix(group): tell a missing registry entry apart from an unreadable one

`group status` printed MISSING for both "this repo has no row in the registry"
and "the registry itself could not be read", so an operator whose registry.json
was corrupt was told every repo was unregistered — and sent to re-register them
instead of to the one file that was actually broken.

The two are now separate. `missing` keeps its old meaning and still flags every
unusable repo, so an older consumer is unaffected; `unresolvable` is additive,
always present, and carries the reason that produced it.

This is the one caller that has to make that distinction, so it takes the
strict global-registry read. `readRegistry`'s `catch { return [] }` collapses a
malformed registry into an empty one, which is indistinguishable from a genuine
absence and is exactly what produced the wrong label. The cost is accepted
knowingly and recorded at the call site: the strict read rejects the whole
registry when any row fails to identify a repo, so one malformed row renders
every member unresolvable — including members whose own rows are fine. That is
the honest verdict, and it is reported as an unresolved state rather than a
clean one.

Choosing between the two labels needs to know whether a row exists at all,
which `registryIdentifies` answers by mirroring the two tiers the resolver
matches a bare group-config value on — registry name, case-insensitively, and
repo path. It deliberately stops short of the hashed-id and partial-name tiers:
those exist to be generous about what an operator typed, while this only picks
a label, and a looser match would relabel a genuine registry miss as an
unresolvable row — the same conflation this change removes, pointed the other
way.

The plan's third failure mode — a row that resolves but whose storage path
cannot be opened — turns out to be unreachable: `loadMeta` returns null on
every error and `checkStaleness` catches everything, so nothing after
`resolveRepo` inside the try can throw. The reachable per-repo case is
`resolveRepo` itself throwing, as it does for two registered clones sharing a
name, and that is what the tests drive end to end through the real CLI. The
code still handles the plan's case correctly if those helpers ever start
throwing.

Mutation-verified: reverting the split turns 6 unit and 2 CLI cases red while
both controls — a genuine miss, and a healthy group — stay green.

* fix(cli): say what the preserve path actually does to contracts.json

The sync summary announced "Did NOT write contracts.json" on the branch that
writes it. The preserve path rewrites the file — keeping the previous sync's
contracts and cross-links, replacing only the two diagnostic lists — so an
operator who checked the mtime and found it moved was told the opposite of what
had happened, on the command this PR exists to make legible.

It now says the previous contracts were kept and names what changed.

The no-prior-registry branch is narrowed for the same reason. It claimed
nothing at all was written, and that is no longer true either: this path still
records the run against an existing bridge's metadata. The claim is now scoped
to contracts.json, which is the file it can actually speak for.

* fix(group): stop the total-failure log promising a preservation that did not happen

The warning fired before the prior registry was read, so it could only ever
promise one of the two things that might be true — and it promised the wrong
one to every group that has never synced: "keeping the contracts from the
previous sync" about a file that does not exist. The console line for that same
run, driven by `registryOutcome`, said the opposite.

It now lives inside the branch, after the read, with one message per outcome
chosen at the point the outcome is decided. The log and the console cannot
disagree, because the same fact selects both.

Both messages keep the warn level and the two repo lists.

Mutation-verified: reverting the split turns the no-prior-registry case red
while the preserved case — whose claim was already true — stays green. The
dry-run test's log filter was also widened to the sentence both messages share,
or the new wording would have made that assertion match nothing and pass
regardless.

* fix(group): make the bridge-failure warning describe what the code guarantees

The warning after a failed `writeBridge` promised that cross-repo impact would
report `truncated` until a sync succeeded. Nothing on that path produces that
signal.

The swap is the last step: `writeBridge` builds the new database in a staging
directory and only then moves the old one aside. A failure during the build
therefore leaves the previous sync's `bridge.lbug` exactly where it was, beside
the `meta.json` stamped for it — a pair that passes `bridgeMetaMatchesFile`
with the previous run's `unreadableRepos`. The next cross-repo query answers
`truncated: false` from superseded contracts, which is the opposite of what the
operator was told to expect, and worse than being told nothing.

The warning now says what is actually true: contracts.json is intact and
canonical, the bridge was not replaced, cross-repo queries may still answer from
the previous sync's contracts, and nothing marks them as superseded.

The metadata is deliberately NOT re-stamped to make the original promise true.
That would recreate exactly the metadata/database mis-pairing the stamping on
the preserve path exists to prevent, and the comment at the warning records it.

The claim is asserted against captured log output rather than left to the state
tests. Those check which pairs match and what the preserve path writes; every
one of them stays green while this sentence reverts to promising a truncation.
An unasserted user-facing branch is the defect class this change is closing, so
it does not get to close it while remaining one.

No filesystem shape makes the real `writeBridge` fail while
`writeContractRegistry` succeeds — they write into the same directory one line
apart — so the failure is armed through a pass-through wrapper on the file's
existing mock. It delegates byte-for-byte unless a test arms it, and is reset
around the new suite.

Mutation-verified: restoring the original wording turns its own assertion red
and nothing else.

* docs(mcp): name every registry outcome group_sync can actually return

The tool's description told agents `registryOutcome` is 'written' or
'preserved'. It has a third reachable value: 'no-prior-registry', returned when
nothing could be read AND there was no previous contracts.json to carry
forward. An agent calling this tool against a group that has never synced got a
value its own tool description said did not exist, and no way to tell it apart
from the case where the previous contracts survive.

The distinction is the whole point of the value. After 'preserved' there is a
registry to read — stale, but real. After 'no-prior-registry' there is nothing
on disk at all, so a following group_contracts or group_impact has no registry
rather than an old one. Those need different responses from the caller.

'not-attempted' stays undocumented because it is unreachable through this tool,
and a guard asserts it stays that way.

The code comment above the annotations claimed the preserve path does NOT write
contracts.json. It does — it rewrites the file, keeping the previous contracts
and cross-links and refreshing only the two diagnostic lists, which the CLI's
own summary was corrected to say a few commits ago. Left alone it would have
re-seeded the same wrong claim next to the text that now states it correctly.

Mutation-verified: deleting the 'no-prior-registry' sentence turns the guard red.

* docs(mcp): explain structural incompleteness on the impact tool and status resource

The impact tool's GROUP MODE paragraph described one cause of truncation — the
fan-out running out of room — and left an agent to assume that was the only one.
So a `truncated: true` carrying `truncationReason: 'incomplete-sync'` read as
"retry with a smaller scope", when retrying returns the identical floor forever:
the repos are absent from the bridge itself, and only a re-sync puts them back.
The old text also said the response carries the truncation fields "when it stops
early", which is wrong for that case — `truncatedRepos` names repos even when
ZERO crossings to them were attempted, because their contracts were never in the
bridge to cross to.

The paragraph now branches on the reason and gives each its remedy: 'timeout'
and 'partial' are runtime limits where a retry or a larger budget can help;
'incomplete-sync' is structural and the remedy is `group_sync`.

The reason union is now derived from an exported `as const` array rather than
written as a bare type. A type-only union gives a guard nothing to enumerate, so
the guard has to hand-list the members — and then it passes forever the moment a
fourth is added, which is the exact regression it exists to catch. The guard
iterates the runtime array instead. Verified by appending a probe member and
watching it go red, then removing it. The resolved type is unchanged; every
importer uses `import type` and none needed an edit.

The status resource said "Group index / contract staleness" and nothing about
the distinctions its payload now carries. It explains all of them: a repo absent
from the registry versus one whose entry could not be resolved, and the
`unreadableRepos` tri-state where an ABSENT key is not an empty one — absent
means the last sync never recorded what it could read, so cross-repo answers for
that group are a floor.

The description an MCP client actually receives lives in `getResourceTemplates`,
not in the context resource's inventory line the plan pointed at. Both now carry
the vocabulary, so the two surfaces cannot disagree about the same payload.

* feat(group): serialize group syncs behind a fail-closed per-group lock

Two concurrent syncs of one group could lose one another's writes. Both read
the prior registry, both built contracts, both wrote — last writer won, and the
loser's work was gone with nothing reporting it. A group sync is long and
expensive and is exactly the operation whose lost update destroys contracts.

`syncGroup` now takes a lock for the whole persist section, acquired exactly
once. `acquireIndexLock` is not reentrant, so a second acquisition anywhere
below would deadlock the happy path rather than an edge case; `withGroupSyncLock`
has one call site and nothing inside it re-acquires.

The lock lives on a dedicated `sync-lock` directory inside the group directory,
mirroring the registry lock's dedicated directory rather than reusing the
resource's own — a lock directory that could collide with a per-repo index slot
repeats a bug the registry lock's comment already warns about.

It fails CLOSED, which is the opposite of `withRegistryLock` and deliberately
so. That one degrades to unlocked because it guards a sub-second JSON merge on
a latency-critical path; here running unprotected is the outcome the lock
exists to prevent. Three exits are covered: a timeout, an unwritable lock
directory, and the lock-free degradation the primitive performs silently.

That third exit needed a change in `index-lock.ts`, and it is the one declared
exception to keeping this work inside core/group/. `acquireIndexLock` answers a
read-only or permission-denied filesystem with a no-op handle that is
byte-identical in shape to a real one, so a caller for whom lock-free is not an
acceptable outcome could not tell the difference. It now carries an optional
`lockFree` marker. The change is additive by construction: no signature moves,
no control flow changes, nothing about when or how a lock is taken changes, and
every caller that ignores the field behaves exactly as before.

A filesystem probe inside the group module was considered and rejected on
evidence: `selectBackend` returns `socket` on Linux and Windows, where
`acquireViaSocket` never touches the filesystem and this branch cannot occur —
so a probe would refuse syncs on the two platforms that never degrade while
missing the one that does.

The timeout ceiling is a named 600s constant passed explicitly. The magnitude
matches the primitive's own analyze-sized default because a group sync is
analyze-shaped and a legitimately queued second sync must be able to wait out a
full first one. Passing it explicitly is about the override, not the magnitude:
`resolveTimeoutMs` resolves `GITNEXUS_INDEX_LOCK_TIMEOUT_MS <= 0` to Infinity,
which would turn fail-closed into a hang.

Cross-process exclusion is proved with a real spawned holder, not an in-process
mock, which cannot demonstrate the property this exists for. The lock-free
scenario pins `GITNEXUS_INDEX_LOCK_BACKEND=file` — unpinned it would pass on
two of three platforms while measuring nothing — and produces the failure by
injecting EACCES on one syscall rather than by chmod, so it runs identically on
Windows instead of being skipped there.

The CLI reports the failure through pino rather than a bare stderr write, which
this package lints as an error to keep that migration moving, and the test reads
the `msg` field rather than a raw substring — matching on the raw text would
have passed only by accident of quoting and would go green again if the line
were downgraded.

Nothing is skipped on any platform, and the test is registered for the
cross-platform shards.

Mutation-verified: removing the lock acquisition turns 6 scenarios red;
removing the lock-free rejection turns the degradation scenario red on its own.

* fix(group): make the sync-lock timeout name a cause it can establish

The fail-closed lock surfaced the primitive's own timeout message to users for
the first time, and that message says the wait was on "another gitnexus
analyze" — a cause its detection path cannot establish. It is the same
confident-about-what-it-could-not-determine claim this PR exists to remove,
inherited rather than written.

The wrapper now throws its own. It names the group, the lock directory, the
operation, and the elapsed wait, and it says plainly that nothing was written.

The holder clause branches on `holderKnown`. The socket backend exposes no owner
metadata and reports a placeholder pid of -1, so on that backend — and on the
file backend's malformed or vanished-lock timeouts — the message says the lock
stayed held but the backend cannot identify who held it, rather than printing a
pid that means nothing.

The elapsed wait is measured by the wrapper. `IndexLockTimeoutError` carries
only `holder` and `holderKnown`; the figure exists solely inside the string
being replaced, so it had to be taken rather than read.

One pre-existing assertion changed with it: the timeout case asserted
`'Timed out after 600000ms'` from the inherited text, which is precisely the
message this replaces.

Mutation-verified: restoring the inherited message turns the three assertion
cases red and leaves the control — a real acquisition that succeeds — green.

* fix(group): stop a losing sync from downgrading the one that beat it to the lock

Serializing is not ordering. Both syncs run extraction outside the critical
section, so a total-failure sync that acquires second reads the winner's fresh
registry as `prior` and rewrites it with all-unreadable lists. The lock alone
does not prevent that — it only decides who goes second, and the loser then
overwrites a healthy registry with a description of its own failure.
Deterministically, not as a rare interleave.

The guard is a compare-and-swap on the registry file's own identity: stat
before acquiring, re-stat after, and write nothing when they differ. Identity is
presence plus size, mtime and inode — `writeContractRegistry` publishes through
write-then-rename, so a real replacement always changes the inode even if size
and mtime happen to collide.

Deliberately NOT keyed on `generatedAt`, for two independent reasons. It is
stamped when the registry object is built, before the lock is acquired, so a
winner that waited would write a value older than the loser's start. And the
preserve path carries it forward verbatim by design — it dates the contracts,
not the write — so after any preserve sync it does not date the write at all,
leaving the comparison blind on exactly the pairing this guards. A file-identity
compare also needs no cross-process clock agreement.

The skip reports the existing `preserved` outcome. Nothing was written and a
prior registry was kept, which is what that value already means; a new one would
falsify the guard asserting the sync tool's description names every reachable
outcome, and would fall through the CLI's outcome chain, which has no fallback.

The bridge metadata refresh is skipped too, which the plan did not specify.
`refreshPreservedBridgeMeta` stamps THIS run's repo lists into meta.json, and
meta.json is where cross-repo impact reads completeness — so writing it would
report as unaccounted-for exactly the repos the winning sync had just accounted
for. That is the same downgrade being refused, one file over. Skipping both is
what makes `preserved` an honest answer here.

Mutation-verified: removing the after-stat and the skip turns the three decisive
cases red while both non-misfire controls stay green.

* refactor(group): run the bridge swap inside the caller's critical section

The bridge swap needed the group lock, and could not take it: `syncGroup`
already holds it when it calls `writeBridge`, and `acquireIndexLock` is not
reentrant. Acquiring inside the swap would deadlock every sync on the happy
path rather than on an edge case.

So the body splits the way this repo already splits this shape — a lock-free
`writeBridgeUnlocked` whose precondition is that the caller holds the lock, and
a thin `writeBridge` wrapper that acquires it for direct callers, mirroring
`registerRepoUnlocked` / `withRegistryLock`. `syncGroup` calls the inner one;
everything else keeps calling `writeBridge` and is now serialized by it.

`writeBridge`'s exported signature is byte-identical to before, so no caller
changed and nothing about the exported surface moved.

The precondition is enforced by a comment naming the single production call
site, which is what the existing precedent does. A type could carry it, but the
repo's own answer to this question is a comment, and diverging here would make
this the odd one out for no additional guarantee.

`refreshPreservedBridgeMeta` is deliberately left unsplit. Its one caller is
already inside the critical section and it has no test callers, so an acquiring
wrapper would be dead code standing in for a guarantee the caller already
provides — and moving the lock inside it would be the second acquisition this
change exists to avoid.

Scope: this delivers writer-writer exclusion only. The reader-side promotion of
a leftover `.bak` into place runs on ordinary reads, outside any lock, and is
not claimed here — the pairing check remains the reader's defense. Confirmed as
live behavior while writing the crash-recovery test, which asserts on file
state rather than through `bridgeExists` for exactly that reason.

One test file beyond the two the unit named had to change: a suite mocks
`bridge-db` to inject a `writeBridge` failure and exercise the bridge-write
warning. Once the sync calls `writeBridgeUnlocked`, that fault was being
injected into a function the path no longer calls, and the test went red. The
mock is repointed.

Mutation-verified three ways. Pointing the sync back at the acquiring wrapper
deadlocks a single UNCONTENDED sync — the evidence that the nesting defect is
real and that this split is what prevents it. Removing the wrapper's
acquisition turns the direct-write exclusion case red. Making the lock-free half
acquire for itself turns the held-lock case red.

* test(hygiene): reach every tracked text file with the raw-byte guard

The guard claimed to protect tracked source from a raw NUL — the byte that
makes git classify a file binary and costs it its diff, its inline comments and
its three-way merge on GitHub. It matched on an end-anchored extension regex
covering the JavaScript family, so most of what this repo tracks was never
looked at: JSON, YAML, TOML, Markdown, snapshots, SQL, protobuf, the .NET
project files, the shell and batch scripts.

Worse, an extension regex cannot reach a file that has none. `Dockerfile`,
`CODEOWNERS`, `LICENSE`, the husky hook and every bare dotfile were unreachable
by construction — no amount of widening the pattern would have covered them —
so a second basename filter had to exist for the claim to be true.

It stays an allowlist rather than becoming "everything git tracks", because the
repo legitimately tracks binaries whose extensions must stay out.

The two filters together now collect every one of the 5000 tracked files except
31 — the 30 native prebuilds and one PNG — and those 31 are exactly the files
that carry a NUL. The allowlist no longer has a gap that is not a genuine
binary.

The planted-fixture cases route through the collector's own predicate rather
than straight into the scanner. The pre-existing fixture test bypassed the
filter entirely, so it could only ever prove the byte locator worked, never
that the collector would hand it the file — which is precisely how the gap
survived.

Mutation-verified both ways: removing the basename filter drops `.gitignore`
and `Dockerfile` from the planted results, and reverting the extension regex
drops `.json` and `.md`.

One added case is a preservation pin rather than proof — that tracked binary
formats stay out passes either way, and guards the allowlist from becoming a
denylist later.

* test(hygiene): stop the byte guard reading the vendored grammar tree

Widening the guard to every tracked text format also pulled in the vendored
tree-sitter grammars, and those are where the bytes are: four generated
`parser.c` files come to 62 MB between them, Kotlin's alone 33.7 MB. Excluding
that root drops 76 files but 66% of the bytes the scan reads — 97 MB down to
33 MB.

The exclusion is a single anchored prefix, matched case-sensitively with
`startsWith`, and both halves of that matter. A `vendor` path-SEGMENT match
would also drop first-party fixtures this repo tracks under directories named
`vendor` and `Vendor` — a Kotlin one, a PHP one, and three files under
gitnexus-web — silently narrowing coverage while the assertion pinned the loss
in place. Case-insensitivity would do the same to a `Vendor` directory at the
excluded root's own level.

The root is named in the guard itself, so the claim that it covers every
tracked text file stays honest about the one place it deliberately does not
look.

The cost comment was wrong and is now measured rather than estimated. It said
"the scan is ~10 ms" — ambiguous between locating the byte and reading the
files, and stale in its byte basis. Locating is ~14 ms; the reads dominate it
by two orders of magnitude, which is the actual reason for the concurrency pool
and the actual reason this exclusion is worth having. Every figure was
re-derived from the finished file rather than carried over from a draft.

The header's claim that `git ls-files` "never descends into vendor" was already
false — vendored code is tracked, so all 106 of its files were being reported
and read. Corrected here, where the distinction becomes load-bearing.

Registered in the cross-platform list first and given a shard weight second.
The weight table is only consulted for files already in that list, so a weight
entry alone is inert and the shard test filters unregistered keys without
complaining. The three-way split stays within 1.01x of ideal.

Mutation-verified three ways: a case-insensitive segment match, a
case-sensitive segment match, and a case-insensitive anchored prefix each turn
an assertion red.

The casing half was initially unfalsifiable — nothing tracked is named
`gitnexus/Vendor/`, so a tracked-set assertion could not distinguish it. Rather
than leave the claim unpinned or invent a fixture, it is pinned on the
predicate with a synthetic path; the tracked-set assertions pin the anchoring.

* test(group): make the strict-read test able to see which read ran

The file bound both registry exports to one mock:

    readRegistry:       (...args) => readRegistryMock(...args),
    readRegistryStrict: (...args) => readRegistryMock(...args),

so the case named for the strict read asserted a behavior it could not
attribute. Point the production call at the lenient export and every assertion
still holds, because the mock answers the same way whichever one is called.

That is not a hypothetical. With this file as it was, and `syncGroup` mutated to
call `readRegistry` instead of `readRegistryStrict`, all 32 tests passed — the
suite was blind to the exact substitution it exists to prevent, and the fix it
guards could have been reverted without a single red.

The exports now have separate mocks: the lenient one always resolves an empty
list, which is its real contract, and only the strict one is armed by the cases
that need a failure. The named case also asserts directly that the strict read
was called and the lenient one was not, so the attribution is explicit rather
than implied by an outcome.

No tests added — the unit is about what the existing ones can see.

Mutation-verified: the same substitution now turns 24 cases red, including the
named one, and everything stays green unmutated.

* test(group): pin the CLI output branches this PR introduced

The three sync outcomes and the status table's new labels had no assertions.
Every one of them is a sentence about what happened on disk, and this PR
corrected several that were false — a preserve branch that announced it had not
written the file it rewrites, a status table that called an unreadable registry
a missing entry. Text that describes state, with nothing pinning it, is how
those got wrong in the first place.

Six cases drive the real CLI end to end, through the two shapes that need no
indexed repo: members absent from the registry, and members registered at a
storage path with no index file, which makes every repo unreadable. The file
header claimed no LadybugDB-backed command was driven end to end; that is no
longer true and it now says so.

Each branch was suppressed in turn and its assertion goes red — all five that
the plan named.

One of those mutations first reported PASS, and the cause is worth recording: the
string being suppressed also appears inside a neighbouring branch's comment, so
the harness silenced the wrong line. That is a bad mutation, not a weak test.
The harness now asserts the marker it suppresses is unique before trusting the
result, and the redone check goes red.

The plan's sixth scenario is already covered by an existing case that asserts
both labels in one table, so it is not duplicated. A seventh case was added
beyond the plan: without a populated-list case, "prints neither line" would pass
just as well against a CLI that never printed that line at all.

Adds about 15s of measured spawn time locally; CI runs these against the built
dist, which is materially faster per spawn.

* test(group): assert the MCP payloads by exact shape, not by partial match

Nothing asserted what the group tools actually return. The sync response's
unreadable list and registry outcome, and the contract listing's incompleteness
fields, are documented in the tool descriptions an agent reads — and could have
been dropped in a refactor without a single test noticing.

The assertions are exact-shape rather than partial. A `toMatchObject` would let
a dropped key pass, which is precisely the regression these exist to catch: the
failure mode is an absent field, and a partial match is defined not to see one.
Absences are additionally asserted explicitly.

The tri-state has to survive the response boundary, and it is the reason exact
shape matters here more than usual. An absent `unreadableRepos` means the sync
never recorded what it could read, so the listing is a floor; an empty list
means it measured none; a populated list names them. Collapsing absent into
empty turns "we do not know" into "we checked, it is fine" — so a mutation that
replaces the conditional spread with `?? []` is covered specifically, not just
the outright deletion.

Mutation-verified per field: removing either sync forwarding line, deleting the
conditional spread, replacing it with the invent-empty form, dropping the
truncation triple, or hardcoding the provenance flag each turns an assertion
red.

* docs(group): stop the bridge input narrowing what unreadableRepos means

The same field had three definitions. The registry and the bridge metadata both
say it covers a repo this sync could not extract from — an index that would not
open, or an extractor that threw partway through, one bucket because the
consequence is one thing. The bridge input said only "whose index could not be
opened", which describes one cause and silently excludes the other.

It now points at the registry's definition instead of restating it a third
time. A definition written once and referenced cannot drift; three copies of it
already had.

* docs(group): record what the mtime pairing does and does not prove

The write-order fallback is a heuristic standing in for provenance, and a
future reader deciding whether to lean on it needs to know where it breaks
before they do. Both directions are now stated where the function is read
rather than only in the plan that introduced it.

The false-accept direction is a non-monotonic wall clock — mtime is realtime,
so an NTP step back, a snapshot restore, or container skew between the two
writes can leave a mis-paired set reading as ordered. Coarse filesystem
granularity is explicitly called out as NOT being that hazard, because it looks
like it: it collapses a pair written together to equal times, and equal is
accepted, which is the right answer for that pair.

The false-reject direction is any copy or restore that rewrites the database's
mtime after the metadata's. An intact legacy pair is demoted to a lower bound
and stays there until a sync re-stamps it, because nothing on the read path can
tell it apart from the swap window it imitates.

That second direction corrects a claim made while planning this work: that the
rule could only ever demote pairs already broken. It cannot. `cp -r` and
`rsync` without timestamp preservation both produce it on a healthy group, and
saying otherwise where the code is read would leave a future reader to discover
it the hard way.

* fix(storage): stop a corrupt registry quoting its own bytes into errors

`JSON.parse`'s SyntaxError embeds a window of the source around the failure —
V8 gives exactly ten characters either side — and the strict read rethrew it
untouched. The registry persists HTTPS remote URLs with their userinfo, so a
file that breaks next to one puts the credential into the error:

    Unexpected token 'L', ..."end.git"},LEAKCAN4RY"... is not valid JSON

The parse now has its own guarded region and reports the path and the failure
class, matching the two corrupt-registry errors already in this function.

The original error is discarded — not logged, not attached as `cause`. This
codebase's convention elsewhere is to hand the logger the Error so it captures
stack and cause, and following that convention here is precisely what would put
the byte window into the log. Under MCP stdio that log is written to the
client's log file on disk, so the thrown-error channel was never the only one
that mattered. The `catch` takes no binding, so the error cannot be reused by
accident later.

That was not theoretical: a sibling commit routes this message into
`unresolvableReason`, which `group status` returns to MCP clients and prints in
the CLI table. Every channel was traced — throw, cause, inspect with the full
chain, the logger, and both downstream consumers.

The leaking shape is narrower than it first appears, and worth recording. The
windowed message only fires when the parser fails at a value-start or trailing
position; a break inside a quoted string yields an unterminated-string error
carrying no window. So a plain mid-URL truncation does not leak — a short write
landing over a longer one does, leaving a URL fragment where a value was
expected. That is a reachable shape for the one machine-wide file every
gitnexus process writes.

The test asserts the message still names the path and the corruption class, not
only that the secret is absent. Asserting absence alone would stay green if the
message became empty.

Mutation-verified: restoring the raw rethrow brings the token back verbatim.

* docs(storage): drop the stale lenient call-site count

The docstring said keeping `readRegistry`'s signature untouched leaves "its
nine other call sites" unaffected. There were thirteen when the discrepancy was
noticed and fourteen by the time it was fixed. The same figure appeared in the
test file's header.

Replaced rather than corrected. A count in prose next to code that moves is a
claim that goes stale without anything failing — which is the defect class this
change set exists to remove, so re-seeding a fresh number would be repeating it
with a longer fuse. The argument was never about the quantity: leaving the
signature alone keeps every lenient caller provably unaffected whether there is
one or fifty.

Also withdrawn while here: the claim that the bridge schema-version guards
diverge between call sites. They do not — the two forms are complements for
every value a writer can produce, there are three sites rather than the two
claimed, and all three agree. Recording a divergence that does not exist would
leave a future reader chasing it.

* docs(group): add an auditable finding-to-commit map

The Definition of Done claims every review finding has exactly one commit and
that reverting it reintroduces that finding and no other. Without a map that
claim is only checkable by whoever holds the review report, which is one person
for a short time.

The map lists all 28 primary findings against their commits, the three findings
whose suggested fix was deliberately not implemented and what shipped instead,
and the four defects found while executing that no reviewer raised.

It also records the revert contract honestly. Revertability is
dependency-aware, not absolute: the shared completeness helper has three
consumers, so reverting it alone does not build. That coupled set is named
rather than left for someone to discover mid-revert.

Two sections exist because the work produced them, not because the plan asked.
Six claims in the plan turned out to be contradicted by the code — among them a
scope predicate that would have reintroduced the bug its unit was closing, and
an assertion about the mtime rule that was simply wrong. Recording only the
findings would leave the impression the plan was followed as written. Five
residual risks are listed for the same reason, including that R14 is not met on
this PR: the diff attribute works locally but GitHub reads it from the base
side, so this PR's own sync.ts stays binary in the web view and every PR after
it renders as text.

Not under docs/ — that path is gitignored, so a map written there would never
reach the PR and the audit it exists for could not be performed by anyone else.

* fix(group): read a version that is not a version as no provenance

Raised by the check bot on this PR, and real — the bot found one symptom of it;
the field splits four gates apart, not one.

`readBridgeMeta` accepted any numeric `version`, and `0` is this file's word for
"no provenance". A parseable but impossible value — negative, fractional — is
not a schema version, and each gate that reads the field disagreed about it:

  ensureBridgeReady      `> 0 && !== CURRENT`  → opens the bridge
  openBridgeDbReadOnly   `> 0 && !== CURRENT`  → opens the bridge
  bridgeExists           `=== 0 || === CURRENT` → says it is not there
  bridgeProvenanceUnknown `=== 0`               → reports the answer complete

Four verdicts about one file, and the last one is a fail-open of exactly the
class this PR exists to close: a bridge nothing can vouch for, reported as
fully accounted for.

The suggested fix was to widen the provenance check to `<= 0`. That closes the
reported symptom and leaves `bridgeExists` still disagreeing with both openers,
so it is fixed at the reader instead: a version that is not a positive integer
normalizes to the sentinel the gates were all written against. One change, four
gates agreeing by construction, rather than teaching each of them the same new
case and hoping the fifth reader remembers.

Infinity is covered too, though by the pre-existing type check rather than the
range one — JSON cannot carry it, so it arrives as `null`. Recorded at the test
so the case is not mistaken for proof of the range check.

Mutation-verified: restoring the loose numeric check turns the negative and
fractional cases red.

* fix(group): stop a malformed contracts.json reading as an unresolvable registry entry

Raised by the check bot on this PR. Its stated mechanism was wrong — `loadMeta`
returns null on every error and `checkStaleness` catches everything, so neither
can throw — but its conclusion was right, and there is a concrete path it did
not name.

`readContractRegistry` is a bare `JSON.parse(content) as ContractRegistry` with
no shape check, and the snapshot lookup guarded only the registry object:

    registry?.repoSnapshots[repoPath]

The `?.` covers `registry` being null, not `repoSnapshots` being absent. A
contracts.json without that field — a legacy file, a hand-edit, a truncated
write — throws `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined`, which lands in
the catch that labels failures as unresolvable GLOBAL-registry entries. So a
group whose own contracts file is malformed reported every repo as a broken
registry row, sending the operator to repair a file that was fine.

An error from one cause presented as another, which is the defect this PR has
been removing everywhere else.

The optional chain closes the crash. The try is also narrowed to the call that
earns the label: only `resolveRepo` sits inside it now, so "did not resolve"
describes something that actually failed to resolve rather than whatever else
happened to throw nearby. The comment records why the other two calls in that
block cannot throw, so the next reader does not have to re-derive it.

* refactor(group): give the completeness fold a module no native binding reaches

The shared fold ended up in `cross-impact.ts`, which statically imports
`bridge-db.ts` and through it the native LadybugDB binding. `groupContracts`
therefore reached it through `await import('./cross-impact.js')` — loading that
whole module graph to run a Set union and a ternary. Measured: 44-51ms and
8.4MB of RSS on first call, paid once per MCP server and once per
`gitnexus group contracts` invocation.

`completeness.ts` holds the vocabulary and the fold and imports nothing but
types. `service.ts` imports it statically; the lazy import and the comment
justifying it both go. `cross-impact.ts` re-exports so the three surfaces still
have one import site for the vocabulary.

Three other duplications collapse into the same move.

`traceCompleteness` was hand-writing `{truncated, truncationReason,
riskEpistemic}` — a third writer of the pair `truncationFields` exists to keep
mechanically linked (#2787), in the file the consolidation had just touched. It
calls the helper now.

`recordedRepoList` existed twice, byte-identical, one copy's docblock saying it
mirrored the other. That gate is the predicate the whole
absent-vs-empty-vs-populated distinction rests on, applied to the same two
lists on both the registry and the bridge — tightening one copy would have
fixed one surface silently. One definition now.

The trace's scope predicate compared repo paths with `===` while its sibling in
`cross-impact.ts`, added in the same change, went through `repoInSubgroup` with
a comment about not growing a second notion of membership. It had grown one:
the helper normalizes separators and strips trailing slashes, so the same
group.yaml spelling could be in scope for impact and out of scope for trace.

Also here: `registryIdentifies` was a third, weaker copy of the registry's path
rule — it skipped `realpath`, so a symlinked row would not match where the real
resolver would. It uses `canonicalizePath`/`registryPathEquals` now.
`contracts.json` is no longer respelled as a literal in `sync.ts`; `storage.ts`
owns the name it reads and writes. And the runtime-truncation predicate is
bound once instead of written out at both the flag and the reason, where
forgetting the second would label a retry-able answer `incomplete-sync`.

* fix(group): give the lost-the-race sync its own outcome instead of overloading preserved

A sync that finds contracts.json replaced while it waited for the lock reported
`registryOutcome: 'preserved'`. That value already meant something else, and the
two differ in exactly the thing the value is for: `preserved` rewrites the file
with this run's diagnostics; this path does not touch it and deliberately does
not record them.

So both surfaces stated something false about disk. The tool description told
agents `preserved` means "contracts.json was rewritten ... refreshing only
missingRepos/unreadableRepos to describe THIS run (the file changed)". The CLI
said "only the unreadable/missing repo lists were refreshed to describe THIS
run". On the lost-race branch nothing was written and the log line beside it
says so outright.

That is the defect class this whole change set removes, reintroduced by the
change set itself — and the reasoning recorded at the time makes it worse, not
better: a new value was rejected because it "would fall through cli/group.ts's
outcome chain, which has no fallback branch". A renderer limitation decided a
domain value, and the description then had to cover two states with one
sentence that fits one of them.

`superseded` is its own outcome now, described in its own words to agents and
rendered in its own words at the CLI. The registry on disk is FRESHER than this
response's diagnostics, which is the opposite of every other non-written
outcome and is why an agent needs to tell them apart.

The CLI renders from a `Record` keyed on the union, so the next outcome fails
the build here rather than printing nothing — the gap that made folding the
state in look like the cheap option.

The description guard is scoped per clause rather than over the whole string.
It forbade "untouched" anywhere, which was right when one clause could only lie
in that direction and wrong now that another clause is accurately untouched. It
also asserts the superseded clause says so, or the two collapse back into one
word for two states.

Found by the quality pass over this branch, not by review.

* test(group): read bytes and stat through one handle, not two path lookups

CodeQL flagged both sites as `js/file-system-race`, high severity, and it is
right about the shape. `stat(path)` followed by `readFile(path)` is two
independent path resolutions with a window between them — the classic
check-then-use race.

It also made the assertions weaker than they read. These two tests exist to
prove a specific file was left untouched, and two lookups can land on different
inodes, so "the bytes and the mtime are both unchanged" was not actually a
statement about one file. The distinction is the whole point here rather than a
technicality.

`snapshotFile` opens the path once and takes both answers from that handle. The
race is gone because there is no second lookup, and the assertion now genuinely
concerns one inode.

I had previously triaged these as below the ruleset's threshold and left them
for the repository owner. That was wrong: they carry
`security_severity_level: high`, and the branch ruleset gates on
`high_or_higher`, so they were blocking the merge rather than sitting under it.

* fix(mcp): stabilize api_impact response shape for same-URL multi-verb routes

After #2302 made Route identity method-aware, a same URL exposes one Route
node per HTTP verb, so a bare-URL api_impact lookup could silently flip from a
direct route object to the wrapped { routes, total } envelope. Surface each
route's `method` (via the shared fetch) so multi-verb results are
distinguishable, and add an optional `method` selector that narrows a
multi-verb URL/file to one verb and forces the singular shape. A verb that
matches no route returns a clear error. Document the match-count contract in
the tool schema.

Refs #2308

* test(mcp): cover same-URL multi-verb api_impact contract

Regression coverage for #2308: bare-URL and bare-file lookups of a same-URL
GET+POST pair return the wrapped form with distinct per-route methods; the
method selector collapses to the singular shape (case-insensitively); an
unmatched verb returns a verb-not-found error; and verbless routes surface a
null method.

Refs #2308

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(review): apply autofix feedback

- tools.ts: correct api_impact contract docs — `method` narrows to one verb
  but the singular shape only holds when exactly one route remains after
  filtering (substring route/file matches can still wrap); cover file lookups;
  enumerate verbs.
- local-backend.ts: surface `method` in route_map and shape_check output (the
  shared fetch already returns it; agents discover verbs there before
  api_impact).
- local-backend.ts: compute routeCountByHandler from the unfiltered match so a
  method-scoped api_impact still flags a multi-verb handler's partial middleware.
- tests: add file+method and verbless-exclusion cases; assert unconditionally
  via toMatchObject; lowercase the verb-not-found input to exercise error
  uppercasing.

* fix(mcp): treat wildcard '*' routes as matching any api_impact method selector (#2308)

Method-agnostic routes (Django function views) persist with Route method
'*', not null. The api_impact method selector used exact verb equality, so
'*' routes were excluded and api_impact({route, method:'POST'}) falsely
reported 'No routes found' for a route that handles every verb. Treat '*'
as matching any requested verb, and correct the comment + tool-description
strings that wrongly grouped Django wildcards with null/verbless routes.

* fix(mcp): harden api_impact method input against non-string and empty values (#2308)

The MCP envelope is not schema-validated, so a non-string `method` reached
`.toUpperCase()` and threw a TypeError. Widen the param to `unknown` and guard
it with a typeof check that returns a structured error (mirroring the
resolveAliasString pattern from #2175), and collapse empty/whitespace verbs to
no selector.

* fix(mcp): distinguish url-not-found from verb-not-found in api_impact error (#2308)

The verb-not-found error appended 'with method "X"' even when the URL/file
itself did not exist, implying the URL exists with other verbs. Gate the verb
clause on matched.length > 0 so a non-existent URL/file gets the plain message.

* fix(mcp): clarify api_impact middlewareNote wording for verbless siblings (#2308)

The partial-middleware note claimed 'other methods in this handler' even when
the co-located sibling is a verbless (null) route rather than another HTTP
verb. Refer to 'other route exports' instead, which covers both cases.

* docs(mcp): document and test the method field on route_map and shape_check (#2308)

The shared fetchRoutesWithConsumers change surfaced a method key on route_map
and shape_check responses too, but their tool descriptions never mentioned it
and no test covered it. Document the field on both descriptions and add unit
tests asserting it (shape_check rows carry responseKeys + a consumer so they
survive shape_check's keys-and-consumers filter).

* test(mcp): cover middlewareDetection 'partial' survival under a method filter (#2308)

The diff's core behavioral line counts verbs-per-handler from the unfiltered
match set so a method-scoped query still flags a multi-verb handler's partial
middleware, but no test exercised it (every verbRow hardcoded middleware:null).
Add a middleware param to verbRow and a test that fails if the count is taken
from the post-filter set instead. Verified via mutation: matched->routes fails it.

* test(mcp): add live-LadybugDB integration coverage for route method round-trip (#2308)

The new n.method query column was only unit-mocked. Add a self-contained
integration suite that seeds GET+POST /api/orders and a method-agnostic '*'
Django route, then asserts api_impact surfaces method, narrows by verb, and
matches the '*' route end-to-end (the U1 fix), plus route_map surfacing.
Own seed + no FTS so it neither perturbs api-impact-e2e nor silently skips.

* refactor(mcp): type the api_impact response shape instead of Promise<any> (#2308)

Replace apiImpact's Promise<any> with an explicit ApiImpactResult union
(single route | wrapped { routes, total } | { error }) and a typed
ApiImpactRoute. The results.map is annotated so the response builder is
checked against the declared shape. Behavior unchanged; sibling MCP methods
keep their Promise<any> convention.

* fix(mcp): express the route-or-file requirement in the api_impact schema (#2308)

The inputSchema left route/file as bare optionals, so the 'at least one of
route/file' rule the handler enforces was invisible to clients. Add an optional
anyOf to ToolDefinition (forwarded verbatim by the ListTools handler) and an
anyOf:[{required:[route]},{required:[file]}] on api_impact. Matches runtime
(both allowed, route wins); 'at least one' not 'exactly one'.

fix(mcp): tolerate adapter-materialized line:0 in impact callgraph mode (#2279) (#2283)
* fix(mcp): tolerate adapter-materialized line:0 in impact callgraph mode (#2279)

Some MCP client/agent adapters serialize an omitted optional numeric
field as `0` rather than dropping it, so callgraph `impact` calls arrive
carrying a spurious `line: 0`. `line` is a PDG-only statement anchor and
is meaningless on the callgraph path, so the backend rejected the call
("'line' is only supported with mode:'pdg'") and strict clients rejected
it client-side against the advertised `minimum: 1`.

Treat a literal `line: 0` as omitted in `_impactImpl` when mode !== 'pdg'
and let the normal symbol→symbol BFS run. The coercion is deliberately
narrow: only the literal 0, only on the callgraph path. A genuine
positive `line` on callgraph still errors (real mode mistake), negative/
fractional values still error, and pdg mode is untouched — `line: 0`
there is still rejected (there is no 1-based source line 0 to anchor on).

Regression tests pin the full matrix: callgraph + line:0 runs the BFS and
is byte-identical to omitting line; pdg + line:0 still errors; positive
line on callgraph still errors.

* fix(mcp): log swallowed best-effort query degradations at warn, not error

`logQueryError` is the shared handler for query failures that every caller
catches and degrades past with a safe fallback (the operation still returns
a result). It logged all of them at `logger.error` (level 50) — the same
severity as fatal failures — so a gracefully-handled degradation raised a
false alarm and drowned genuine errors. This surfaced as an ERROR-level log
firing during a passing unit test that intentionally injects a slice-callees
query failure to verify the degrade path.

Make the severity match reality:
  - benign missing optional table/label/column (a repo analyzed without
    processes/communities, or a pre-v3 PDG index lacking the `calleeIds`
    column — a query that fails on every pdg-downstream impact for such an
    index) → debug, the normal-configuration case.
  - any other swallowed failure → warn (handled degradation, still observable).
  - error is reserved for failures that actually abort an operation, which
    log directly rather than through this helper.

Also fix the sibling bm25/FTS fallback, which logged its swallowed
"FTS indexes may not exist" degradation at error while its own import-failure
fallback already used warn.

The slice-callees degradation test now captures the log and asserts it lands
at warn (40), not error (50), pinning the severity against regression.

* fix(mcp): relax impact `line` schema minimum to 0 for adapter compatibility (#2279)

Strict MCP clients/agents validate against the advertised input schema and
reject a request before sending it. With `line` declaring `minimum: 1`, a
client that materializes the omitted optional `line` as `0` rejects a
perfectly valid callgraph impact call client-side — so the backend tolerance
added in the previous commit never gets a chance to run.

Lower the advertised `line.minimum` to 0 and document that 0 (or omission)
means "no statement anchor" while mode:'pdg' still requires a positive line.
The advertised schema is advisory (the backend self-validates and is the real
gate), so this cannot loosen any enforced contract — it only stops strict
clients from pre-rejecting `line: 0`. Negative lines are still rejected at the
client boundary.

* fix(review): apply autofix feedback

Code-review autofix pass on the #2279 branch:
- Replace a newly-introduced `mode as any` cast in the #2279 it.each with the
  narrow `mode as 'callgraph' | undefined` (strict-typing-no-any).
- Add a degradation test for the new logQueryError benign-missing-table → debug
  branch (asserts no warn/error record surfaces, i.e. it routed to debug).
- Pin the bm25/FTS error→warn severity change with a _captureLogger assertion
  in the existing #1489 test.

* fix(mcp): make swallowed-failure callers surface degradation; narrow benign-error match (#2283)

Tri-review (#2283) found the `error → {debug|warn}` rework reduced telemetry
for `logQueryError` callers that do NOT degrade safely, while the docstring
over-claimed "every caller degrades to a safe fallback". Address the substance
rather than only the log level:

- rename apply-edit: track failed writes and return status:'partial' with
  `failed_files` instead of reporting `status:'success'` when a write was
  swallowed. A partial rename is no longer indistinguishable from a clean one.
- detect_changes: a swallowed symbol/process query failure now sets
  `partial:true` (rendered by the existing eval-server partial path) so the
  pre-commit safety gate can't return a false-clean `risk_level:'low'` no-op.
- isBenignMissingTableError: scope the `not (defined|found)` arm to a schema
  object (table/label/rel/column/property), mirroring lbug-adapter's
  isMissingColumnError. An unscoped "not found" matched operation failures like
  `rg: not found` / `Symbol not found` and silently demoted them to debug.
- logQueryError docstring: state the contract honestly — level reflects
  telemetry severity, and mutating/safety-critical callers MUST also surface a
  result-level degradation signal; `warn` alone is not a substitute.
- pdg dispatch: pass the normalized `effectiveLine` (not raw params.line) so
  the validation gate and engine share one source of truth (identity today).

Tests:
- _captureLogger(level?) lets tests capture below info; the benign-missing-table
  test now asserts the record IS emitted at debug (20), not merely absent —
  no longer a vacuous pass if the call were deleted.
- new: a non-schema "not found" failure logs at warn (regex-narrowing guard);
  rename write-failure degrades to status:'partial'+failed_files; line:-1 on
  the callgraph path still errors (line:0 coercion is narrow); typed the
  it.each tuple to drop a `mode as` cast.

* docs(mcp): fix impact `line` description contradiction for whole-symbol pdg (#2283)

The new `line` schema description said "mode:'pdg' requires a positive line",
which contradicted the top-level impact description ("Without 'line', pdg
returns whole-symbol inter-procedural reach plus local whole-symbol PDG
diagnostics"). A pdg call without a line is a valid (degraded whole-symbol)
call, not an error — the old wording could push an agent to avoid valid no-line
pdg calls or synthesize line:0 (which then hard-errors).

Reword to: omit line for whole-symbol pdg; a positive line anchors a statement
slice; literal 0 is tolerated only as an omitted-line compatibility sentinel on
the callgraph path and is rejected for mode:'pdg'. Update the schema test to
pin the new, non-contradictory wording and assert "requires a positive line" is
gone.

feat(group): cross-repo call trace using PDG (#2269)
* refactor(group): extract shared resolveBridgeNeighbors from cross-impact

Lift the uid-filtered consumer<->provider ContractLink join (direction +
queryBridge + row normalization + confidence sort) out of runGroupImpact's
inline Phase-2 block into an exported resolveBridgeNeighbors helper. Behavior
is unchanged for impact; the helper becomes the single shared bridge join so
the upcoming cross-repo trace path never forks its own copy of the neighbor
Cypher. Empty uid sets short-circuit without a DB round-trip.

Adds direct coverage (real bridge via writeBridge/openBridgeDbReadOnly) for
both directions plus the empty-set and unknown-uid edges.

* feat(group): cross-repo trace stitching (groupTrace + runGroupTrace)

Add GroupService.groupTrace and the pure runGroupTrace engine that stitches
per-repo CALLS/HAS_METHOD trace segments across one ContractLink boundary in
the group bridge:

  from --(local trace)--> consumer --(ContractLink)--> provider --(local trace)--> to

- Resolves from/to across all members (symbol node id == bridge symbolUid);
  same-repo endpoints delegate to a single local trace with no crossing.
- Single boundary crossing (MAX_SUPPORTED_CROSS_DEPTH); deeper crossDepth is
  clamped with a note, mirroring cross-impact.
- Discriminated GroupTraceResult union (ok|not_found|ambiguous|error) with
  per-hop repo tags, a typed crossings[] entry, and centralized degraded-state
  note constants (TRACE_NOTES). No .
- Trace-specific pair query (keeps BOTH crossing endpoints) lives in this
  module; the uid-filtered neighbor join (resolveBridgeNeighbors) is reused
  where it fits. ensureBridgeReady exported for reuse.
- New GroupToolPort methods (trace/resolveSymbol/pdgFlows) are optional so
  existing port mocks keep type-checking; runGroupTrace guards on presence.

PDG enrichment is wired as an opt-in hook (enrichSegment) — the port method is
stubbed until U4. Covered by unit tests over a real bridge + mocked port.

* feat(group): route trace tool to groupTrace on @group syntax

Wire the cross-repo trace through the existing @group dispatch:
- callTool routes trace with an @-prefixed repo to callToolAtGroupRepo, which
  forwards from/to/uid/file/maxDepth/includeTests plus the experimental
  pdg/crossDepth flags to GroupService.groupTrace. Member path in @group/path
  is advisory for trace (resolution is whole-group).
- Port gains trace/resolveSymbol/pdgFlows adapters. resolveSymbolForGroup wraps
  the shared resolveSymbolCandidates so groupTrace can locate the member repo
  and recover each endpoint node id (== bridge symbolUid). pdgFlowsForGroup is
  a degraded stub here (call-level only); U4 implements the REACHING_DEF walk.
- trace tool schema documents the @group entry point, pdg, and crossDepth.

Single-repo trace is untouched. Covered by dispatch-routing tests (@group ->
groupTrace, non-group stays local) and tool-schema assertions.

* feat(group): opt-in PDG data-flow enrichment for cross-repo trace

Implement _pdgFlowsForGroupImpl: the real REACHING_DEF anchor walk that backs
the port pdgFlows adapter (replacing the U3 call-level stub). When pdg:true and
the segment repo has a flows PDG layer, the boundary-adjacent segments carry
their intra-procedural def->use hops:

- Anchors by the boundary symbol UID (precise; avoids the by-name ambiguity the
  resolveBlockAnchor path can hit), then reuses the same span-anchored,
  bind-param-only flows query as pdg_query (BasicBlock id-prefix + [start+1,
  end+1] line window; no rel-property index, so the anchor IS the bound).
- Stays intra-procedural: data flow never crosses the repo boundary.
- pdgStampForMode probe: false -> available:false (degrade with note); the
  trace stays ok. Any query failure is swallowed (enrichment is auxiliary).

Covered by runGroupTrace enrichment tests: dataFlow attached on opt-in,
degraded note when no layer, and no pdgFlows call when pdg is omitted.

* test(group): evaluation-first cross-repo trace e2e (two real indexes)

End-to-end gate for the cross-repo trace: stands up two real LadybugDB indexes
(consumer 'frontend' + provider 'backend'), a real ContractLink bridge, and a
real LocalBackend with both repos registered, then drives the public
callTool('trace', { repo: '@grp', pdg: true }) and asserts:
  - the stitched checkout -> callUsers -(CONTRACT_LINK)-> handleUsers -> getUsers
    path, each hop tagged with its member repo
  - real REACHING_DEF data-flow enrichment of the consumer segment (userId)
  - a degraded 'No PDG layer in app/backend' note (provider has no PDG layer)
  - single-repo trace against one member is unchanged (no crossings)

Hand-persists the minimal real graph (deterministic; a full two-repo analyze is
heavier than this gate needs) and exercises real Cypher across
resolveSymbolCandidates, _traceImpl, the bridge pair query, and
_pdgFlowsForGroupImpl. Windows-skipped (describeReopen) and registered in the
cross-platform native-lbug set.

Scoped to a single @group call: opening bridge.lbug read-only a SECOND time in
one process currently fails (shared bridge open/close lifecycle, also affects
impact @group) — the pdg-omitted/clamp variants are unit-covered.

* docs(group): document cross-repo trace + PDG enrichment

ARCHITECTURE.md: trace is now group-aware; describe the @group cross-repo
stitch over a single ContractLink boundary (CONTRACT_LINK hop, crossings[],
crossDepth clamp), the opt-in experimental PDG REACHING_DEF enrichment of
boundary-adjacent segments, the symbolUid-grain join between the two stores,
and the deferred full cross-program (SDG-like) data flow. PIPELINE.md: add the
cross-trace consumer of the bridge with its pair-query rationale.

Does not touch gitnexus/CHANGELOG.md (release-owned).

* fix(review): apply autofix feedback

Apply safe_auto findings from ce-code-review (run 20260622-094243):
- local-backend.ts: drop (r: any) in _pdgFlowsForGroupImpl row map; coerce
  hop line via Number() so a nullish LadybugDB cell can't surface NaN.
- tools.ts: advertise the forwarded  param in the trace schema and add
  crossDepth maximum:10 (schema now matches what groupTrace reads).
- cross-trace.ts: parallelize per-member resolveSymbol/resolveRepo with
  order-preserving Promise.all (matches groupContext/groupQuery); add a note
  when pdg:true is passed to a same-repo trace (PDG only enriches at a
  cross-repo boundary).
- tests: remove  / tighten  (no-any rule).

Residual gated_auto/manual findings (unbounded crossing query + loop,
whole-file PDG widening on absent span, error-vs-no_path masking, top-level
try/catch parity, helper dedupe, branch-coverage gaps) are recorded in the run
artifact for the PR body.

* fix(group): skip CHECKPOINT on read-only bridge close so it can reopen

Root cause of the in-process bridge.lbug reopen failure (which broke repeated
@group impact/trace calls in a long-lived MCP server): closeBridgeDb issued
CHECKPOINT on EVERY handle, including read-only ones. A CHECKPOINT on a
read-only connection has nothing to flush but leaves a WAL/shadow lock artifact
that makes the next read-only open of the same path fail (openBridgeDbReadOnly
returns null -> 'Could not open bridge.lbug read-only'). Reproduced: open ->
query -> closeBridgeDb -> open again returned null only when the close ran
CHECKPOINT; a non-checkpoint close reopened fine, and the raw native
open/close cycle was never the problem.

Fix: tag read-only handles (BridgeHandle._readOnly, set by openBridgeDbReadOnly)
and skip CHECKPOINT for them in closeBridgeDb. Writable handles are unchanged
(they still flush before close). This is the shared bridge-db close path, so
impact @group benefits identically.

- Regression test in bridge-db.test.ts: open/query/close/open/query/open in one
  process now succeeds.
- Re-enabled the second @group call in cross-trace-e2e.test.ts (was scoped to a
  single call for this very limitation).

* fix(group): bring bridge-db close to parity with the core adapter safeClose

The bridge open/close cycle was less robust than the main graph DB's: closeBridgeDb
closed the connection/database but skipped the post-close steps the core adapter's
safeClose performs, so a rapid in-process reopen could race the OS handle release
(Windows) or an orphaned WAL sidecar. That gap is why the close-then-reopen tests
had to skip Windows.

closeBridgeDb now mirrors safeClose after closing the handle:
- waitForWindowsHandleRelease(dbPath): probe the file (+ .wal) until the residual
  Windows lock clears, so the next open does not race (warns if the budget is
  exhausted, matching the core adapter).
- finalizeLbugSidecarsAfterClose(dbPath): quarantine an orphaned WAL (shadow
  missing) so the next open replays a consistent file.

Both helpers are the same ones safeClose uses (Windows-proven via the core adapter
CI), and the bridge read open already retries transient locks. Combined with the
read-only CHECKPOINT skip, the bridge reopen is now robust on every platform, so
the close-then-reopen tests run on all platforms (Windows CI exercises them via the
cross-platform subset). No write-path behavior change; Linux/macOS unaffected.

* fix(group): bound cross-repo crossing fan-out (LIMIT + segment memoization)

Address the top review residual: the bridge crossing query was unbounded and the
crossing-selection loop could run an O(2*N) sequential trace-BFS over every
ContractLink between a repo pair.

- CY_CROSSINGS_BETWEEN now ORDERs BY confidence DESC and LIMITs to
  MAX_CROSSINGS_TO_TRY + 1; listCrossingsBetween slices to the cap and reports
  truncation. Exceeding the cap surfaces a note (no silent truncation), keeping
  the highest-confidence crossings. Aligns with the repo's anchored+LIMIT-bounded
  query discipline (LadybugDB has no rel-property index).
- The home-repo segment (from -> consumer) depends only on the consumer uid and
  the target-repo segment (provider -> to) only on the provider uid, so each is
  memoized by that uid. Many crossings sharing a consumer/provider (one client
  call linked to several providers) now cost one trace per distinct endpoint
  instead of one per crossing. A consumer whose segment already failed is skipped
  for every later crossing that shares it.

Test: two links sharing a consumer (first provider unreachable, second reachable)
assert the from->consumer segment is traced exactly once and the second crossing
wins.

* fix(group): restore Windows skip for bridge reopen tests; drop ineffective close-side probe

The previous commit flipped the bridge close-then-reopen tests to run on Windows,
betting that a close-side waitForWindowsHandleRelease + finalizeLbugSidecarsAfterClose
probe (mirroring the core adapter safeClose) would make the in-process reopen work
there. Windows CI proved otherwise: 4 writeBridge->openBridgeDbReadOnly tests fail
('expected null not to be null' — the read open returns null). The writable-close ->
read-open handoff plus writeBridge's atomic sidecar rename does not release the OS
file handle before the read open races, and the existing open-side LBUG_OPEN_RETRY
only retries lock-pattern errors, not the post-rename sidecar database-id mismatch.
macOS passes; the core adapter's own reopen also passes — this is bridge+Windows
specific.

- Revert itLbugReopen to the Windows skip (the pre-existing, correct state).
- Remove the close-side probe + finalize from closeBridgeDb: it did NOT close the
  Windows gap, and reviewers flagged it for hot-path latency (finalize ran on every
  close, all platforms) and safeClose duplication.
- KEEP the load-bearing fix — skipping CHECKPOINT on read-only handles — which fixed
  the reproduced Linux/macOS in-process reopen artifact (the real bug).

Net: Linux/macOS repeated @group impact/trace works in-process; Windows in-process
bridge reopen remains a documented limitation (unchanged from before this PR).

* fix(group): surface degraded members + cap truncation; honest crossDepth schema

Address the cross-engine-corroborated tri-review findings (Codex + Claude):
- resolveAcrossMembers / runGroupTrace now track member repos that could NOT be
  queried (resolveRepo or resolveSymbol threw) and, when the result is not_found,
  attach a degraded-member note. A transient/corrupt member DB is no longer
  silently reported as a clean 'symbol absent' not_found. (Codex B1+B3 + ce-reliability.)
- The cross-repo not_found now carries a programmatic truncated:true flag (and a
  clearer suggestion) when the MAX_CROSSINGS_TO_TRY cap was hit, so a consumer can
  distinguish 'no path' from 'cap may have hidden a connecting ContractLink'.
  (Codex B3 + ce-adversarial + ce-api-contract.)
- trace tool schema: crossDepth maximum 10 -> 1 to match the implementation's
  single-hop clamp (the schema previously advertised an unsupported 2-10 range).
  (ce-api-contract, conf 100.)

Test: a member whose resolveSymbol throws yields not_found WITH a degraded note
naming the unreachable repo (if-free responder map).

* docs(group): clarify trace @group/memberPath is advisory (resolves all members)

Tri-review (Codex ce, conf 100) caught a doc/impl inconsistency: ARCHITECTURE.md
lumped trace with query/context/impact as honoring @group/memberPath member
scoping, but cross-repo trace resolves from/to across ALL members (the member
path is advisory). Clarify the behavior and point to from_uid/to_uid for
disambiguating same-named symbols across members.

* feat(group): file-level boundary fallback so cross-repo trace works on HTTP contracts

Benchmark (bench/cross-repo-trace/) running the REAL pipeline (runFullAnalysis
--pdg -> real syncGroup -> trace @group) found that cross-repo trace returned
not_found for real HTTP links even though sync built the correct ContractLinks:
HTTP (and other source-scan) contracts hardcode symbolUid:'' (http-route-extractor),
and both cross-trace AND cross-impact join crossings by Contract.symbolUid, which
never matches an empty uid. (Pre-existing — impact @group has the same gap.)

Fix: when a crossing's symbolUid is empty, fall back to the contract's FILE — if
the user's from/to resolves into the contract file, that endpoint anchors the
boundary. CY_CROSSINGS_BETWEEN now returns consumer/provider filePath; a crossing
is kept if it can be anchored by uid OR file on each side; a fileBoundaryFallback
note flags that the boundary is file-level, not symbol-precise. This makes the
common 'trace from=<calling fn> to=<handler fn>' case work end-to-end (verified:
fetchUsers -> listUsers stitches with a CONTRACT_LINK hop + PDG enrichment, 2/2).

Limits (documented in the bench README + the note): anonymous handlers have no
named target; when several contracts share files the file fallback may attach the
wrong contractId to a correct path. The proper upstream fix is to populate
symbolUid in the HTTP extraction (benefits impact too) — the bench is its gate.

Adds a unit test pinning the empty-symbolUid file-fallback stitch.

* fix(group): resolve HTTP contract symbolUid by containment (fixes cross-repo trace + impact)

Addresses the root cause behind the cross-repo trace file-fallback: HTTP
contracts hardcoded symbolUid:'' (http-route-extractor), so both cross-trace and
cross-impact — which join crossings on Contract.symbolUid — could not traverse
HTTP links. (Also found: the pre-existing graph-assisted resolution queried the
wrong edge, CONTAINS instead of DEFINES, so it never resolved a uid either.)

Now the extractor resolves each detection to a real symbol:
- HttpDetection carries the call-site line (node.ts sets it on every express/
  fetch/axios/jquery/nest detection; express also captures the handler arg).
- resolveDetectionSymbol resolves the named handler first, else the innermost
  Function/Method whose line span encloses the call (consumer = the function
  containing the fetch; provider = the named/inline handler), over the correct
  File-[DEFINES]->symbol edge. Base-tolerant (0- vs 1-based startLine).
- Wired into both source-scan and graph-assisted provider/consumer paths.

Verified end-to-end (bench/cross-repo-trace): all 4 contracts now carry real
uids, trace is symbol-precise (GET pair -> http::GET, POST -> http::POST, no
file-fallback note), and impact @group fans out (cross_repo_hits 0 -> 1). The
cross-trace file-level fallback remains as the secondary path for truly
anonymous handlers. Adds 2 containment unit tests; 738 group/integration pass.

Languages other than JS/TS still resolve providers by handler name; their
consumers fall through to the file fallback until their plugins set the line.

* fix(group): extend HTTP symbolUid containment to all languages + nested methods

Completes the symbolUid resolution across every bundled HTTP plugin: Python, Go,
PHP, Kotlin and Java now set the call-site line on their consumer (and Feign/
named) detections, so their HTTP contracts resolve to the containing function
the same way Node/TS already did.

Also generalizes the containment query: it now matches Function/Method/CodeElement
by filePath (UNION ALL) instead of File-[DEFINES]->symbol. The DEFINES edge only
reaches a file's TOP-LEVEL symbols, so methods nested in classes (Java/Kotlin —
File defines the class, the class defines the method) were invisible; matching by
filePath reaches them. Verified against a real index (LadybugDB supports the
UNION); JS/TS still fully symbol-precise (bench 2/2), 709 group tests pass.

Residual is now only the inherent case — a fully anonymous handler with no named
callee — which keeps the cross-trace file-level fallback.

* feat(group): destination trace — follow a consumer to an anonymous handler

Handles the one inherent residual: an anonymous route handler
(`router.get('/x', (req,res) => …)`) has no symbol node at all (the file holds
only a Const + PDG BasicBlocks), so it can never be named as a trace `to`.

Adds a DESTINATION TRACE: omit to/to_uid/to_file on an @group trace and
`trace from=<consumer>` follows the consumer's outgoing HTTP call across the
bridge and reports where it lands — by route + file:line, with a notes[] entry
flagging the handler as anonymous. Implemented as a new branch in runGroupTrace
(p.destination) backed by CY_CROSSINGS_FROM (all ContractLinks leaving the
consumer repo) + stitchToDestination; the provider endpoint is labelled
'<METHOD /path handler>' when its symbolName is a generic token/file basename.

The MCP routing already omitted an absent `to`, so only the schema docs changed.
parseTraceParams now treats a missing `to` as a destination trace instead of an
error. Verified end-to-end: anonymous fixture reports
'app/frontend:fetchUsers -> app/backend:<http::GET::/api/users handler>'; named
fixture lands at the real function. Adds 2 unit tests; 915 group tests pass.

* fix(group): tri-review fixes for cross-repo trace + symbolUid resolution

Two-engine tri-review (Claude swarm+ce + Codex GPT-5.5 swarm+ce+adversarial)
surfaced these; cross-engine-corroborated unless noted.

Correctness (P1, all four lanes): destination trace reported the WRONG endpoint
— an empty-uid consumer made trace(from->from) trivially succeed, so the highest-
confidence same-file crossing won regardless of which call `from` makes.
stitchToDestination now collects ALL connecting crossings, prefers symbol-precise
hits, and returns `ambiguous` (with candidates) when it cannot disambiguate.

Correctness (P1, Codex): resolveDetectionSymbol early-returned null when
d.line==null, blocking NAME resolution for named providers that set no line
(Spring/Go/etc.). Name resolution now runs first; only containment needs a line.

Correctness (P2): resolveContainingSymbol OR-ed `line` and `line-1`, which could
mis-pick a one-line sibling. It now probes the base-correct `line-1` first and
falls back to `line` only if nothing matches.

Correctness (Codex): anonymous Express handlers emitted name:'handler' and could
attach to an unrelated fn literally named `handler`. node.ts now emits name:null
for non-identifier handlers (containment-only).

Robustness: drop the first-symbol-in-file pickSymbolUid guess from the graph
consumer/provider paths (a wrong uid would win the contractId merge); remove the
dead CONTAINS_QUERY fallback (CONTAINS is File->Folder, never a symbol) + the now
-unused pickSymbolUid/handlerName; seed destination notes with degraded-member
notes so a successful trace still surfaces them; providerLabel takes providerUid
so a resolved fn named `handler` is not mislabeled anonymous, and only true file
basenames (known extensions) — not any dotted name — count as anonymous.

API contract: a single-repo trace with no `to` now returns an actionable error
(destination trace is @group-only) instead of "symbol 'undefined' not found".

Maintainability/tests: narrow asLocalTrace per-field (drop as-unknown-as); fix the
PR's lone as-any (vi.mocked); if-free e2e teardown; qualify the bench README.

Adds ambiguous-destination, anonymous-handler-no-false-name, and single-repo-no-to
tests; redirects graph mocks CONTAINS->UNION ALL. 918 group/integration pass.

* fix(group): carry degraded-member notes through SUCCESSFUL group traces

A reviewer (koriyoshi2041, PR #2269) correctly flagged that degraded-member
resolution was surfaced only on not_found, not on a successful ok result. Group
trace resolves names across ALL members, so an ok is 'unique among the members
we could query' — if a member that threw during resolveSymbol also holds from/to,
the real answer could be ambiguous. The destination path already seeded the note
(prior commit); this extends it to the same-repo and cross-repo success paths by
seeding the dispatch notes with degradedNotes([...fromRes.degraded, ...toRes.degraded]).

Adds a regression test: reg-be throws while a same-repo trace succeeds in reg-fe;
the ok result now carries the 'could not be queried' degraded note (app/backend).

* test(bench): cover all implemented cross-repo trace cases in one runner

Replace the single named-handler script with a self-contained verify.mjs that
generates each fixture inline and exercises every implemented end-to-end case
against the real analyze -> sync -> trace/impact pipeline, asserting PASS/FAIL
(exit non-zero on failure). 10 checks across 4 scenarios:
- named handlers: 4/4 symbolUid resolved; symbol-precise GET vs POST crossing
  selection; destination trace lands at the named handler.
- anonymous handler: empty symbolUid; destination trace reports it by route with
  the anonymous note.
- impact @group fan-out (cross_repo_hits >= 1).
- multi-language (Python Flask + requests): link built, cross-repo trace stitches,
  and the file-level boundary fallback is exercised when the provider has no uid.

Ambiguous-destination and degraded-member paths need synthetic inputs the real
analyzer cannot produce, so they stay in the unit suite (documented in the README
+ script header). Removes verify-named.mjs + fixtures-named/ (folded inline).

* test(group): pin destination degraded-success + precise-tier ambiguity

Adds the two regression guards koriyoshi2041 requested on PR #2269 after the
degraded-on-success fix:
- destination trace success with a degraded member: reg-fe resolves from and
  follows the link to an anonymous handler while reg-be throws; the ok result
  carries the anonymous endpoint AND the 'could not be queried' degraded note, so
  the no-to path stays aligned with explicit to traces.
- multiple PRECISE destination hits: one from reaches two consumers with resolved
  uids linked to different routes; the result is ambiguous (role: to) with both
  route candidates. Distinct from the existing file-level ambiguous test, this
  pins the stronger precise tier against a future change silently picking the
  highest-confidence destination.

Both already pass against current behavior; 716 group tests pass.

* feat(mcp): add trace tool for shortest call path between symbols (#1821)

Implement the \	race\ MCP tool and \gitnexus trace\ CLI command that finds
the shortest directed call path between two symbols using BFS over CALLS +
HAS_METHOD edges.

- MCP tool definition in tools.ts with READ_ONLY annotations
- Directed BFS in local-backend.ts with parent-map path reconstruction
- Symbol resolution via resolveSymbolCandidates (name/UID/file-hint)
- Gap reporting with furthest reachable node and depth tracking
- CLI wiring: gitnexus trace <from> <to> [--from-uid] [--to-uid] [--depth]
- i18n keys in en.ts and zh-CN.ts + help-i18n.ts registration
- ARCHITECTURE.md tools table entry
- 16 unit tests (11 BFS core + 5 CLI wiring)

* test(mcp): account for trace tool in tools.test.ts count

The trace tool makes GITNEXUS_TOOLS length 15; update the hardcoded
count, add 'trace' to the expected-names list, and refresh the stale
"13 tools" comment and it() title.

* fix(mcp): sanitize trace maxDepth to reject 0/NaN/negative

`Math.min(params.maxDepth ?? 10, 30)` had no lower bound and `??` does
not recover 0 or NaN, so `--depth 0|-5|abc` made the BFS loop run zero
iterations and return a false `no_path`. Clamp at the real boundary with
a `Number.isInteger && > 0` guard (the MCP inputSchema minimum is
advisory only), and reject a non-numeric `--depth` in the CLI up front
rather than forwarding NaN.

* fix(mcp): check trace target before applying test-file filter

The `isTestFilePath` filter ran before the target-equality check, but
resolveSymbolCandidates does not exclude test-file symbols. A target (or
a required hop) that lives in a test file was therefore skipped under the
default includeTests=false and produced a false no_path with a
misleading dynamic-dispatch suggestion. Match the explicitly-requested
target first; non-target test-file nodes are still filtered.

* perf(mcp): bound trace BFS with per-level LIMIT and visited cap

The per-level query had no LIMIT and the visited set was uncapped, so a
high-fanout hub could materialize an unbounded frontier. Cap per-level
rows (interpolated LIMIT — Kuzu does not bind LIMIT) and the total
visited set; either cap sets a `truncated` flag so a resulting no_path
reports that the search was cut short rather than implying the graph was
exhausted.

Note: the sibling impact BFS shares the same unbounded pattern; applying
the cap there is deferred (out of scope for this PR).

* refactor(mcp): clarify trace traverses call + class-member edges

trace was advertised as a "shortest call path" but also traverses
HAS_METHOD (class→member) containment edges so a class-rooted trace can
descend into its methods. Keep that capability (consistent with impact/
context) and make the docs honest: rename EDGE_TYPES→TRAVERSAL_EDGE_TYPES,
state the call + class-member traversal in the MCP/CLI/i18n/ARCHITECTURE
descriptions, and note each hop's edge type is reported in edges[]. No
behavior change.

* fix(mcp): set status:'error' on trace failure responses

Every trace return path sets a `status` discriminator except the
caught-error path, so a consumer switching on `result.status` saw
undefined on failure. Add status:'error' to both the backend trace()
catch and the CLI traceCommand catch.

* fix(mcp): return a friendly error for non-string trace from/to

A non-string from/to reaching resolveSymbolCandidates surfaced a
low-level "x.includes is not a function" via name.includes. Guard the
four name/uid params at the top of _traceImpl and return a structured
status:'error' with a clear message instead.

* refactor(mcp): single row-decode + drop dead field in trace BFS

Decode each BFS row once into named locals instead of repeating
`(row.x ?? row[N])` across the two parent.set calls and the
furthest-tracking. Drop the `type` field from the parent map value (it
was written but never read), and rename the internal `deepestInfo` to
`lastReached` for accuracy (the output field `furthest` is unchanged).
Pure refactor — no behavior change.

* refactor(cli): dedicated trace includeTests i18n key + guard coverage

`trace|--include-tests` reused the impact help key, so rewording the
impact option would silently change trace's help text. Add a dedicated
help.option.trace.includeTests key in en + zh-CN and repoint it. Add CLI
coverage for the (already symmetric) --from-uid/--to-uid flag-value guard
and for --include-tests forwarding.

* test(mcp): faithful BFS mock + expand trace coverage

Fix makeResolveMock: concatenate neighbors across ALL frontier ids (it
returned only the first node's, so a multi-node frontier was unmodelled)
and key the UID branch on params.uid (the old query-text match never
fired). Add coverage: shortest path through the second frontier node
(proves the mock fix), confidence floor fallback, HAS_METHOD traversal
with a mixed edge-type chain, no_path furthest:null, and from_file
disambiguation.

* style(trace): apply root prettier formatting to trace files

The root `quality / format` gate (prettier --check, printWidth 100) runs
on the full repo and flagged the trace sources/tests (the local config
masks it). Reformat to root style — no behavior change; trace + tools
suites and tsc stay green.

* docs(skills): document the trace tool for AI agents

Add `trace` to the GitNexus skill docs so agents reach for it instead of
hand-chaining context/impact hops. The guide gains a Tools Reference row
and a "shortest path between two symbols" subsection (params, result
shape, status/furthest/truncated semantics); the debugging skill gains a
"how does A reach B?" pattern row and a trace tool example. Mirrored to
the .claude and claude-plugin copies (byte-identical) and the cursor copy
(compact style).

* test(mcp): drop unused trace test fixtures (CodeQL js/unused-local-variable)

CodeQL flagged two unused locals in the trace BFS tests: the top-level
SYMBOL_C and a SYMBOL_D inside the maxDepth test (both defined, never
referenced). Remove them. No behavior change — 58 trace/tools tests stay
green.

feat(pdg): control dependence — post-dominators + CDG (Ferrante) [M5 #2085] (#2188)
* feat(pdg): add CDG + POST_DOMINATE edge types (M5 #2085)

* feat(pdg): post-dominator tree on reverse CFG (M5 #2085)

* feat(pdg): Ferrante control-dependence over the post-dom tree (M5 #2085)

* feat(pdg): emitFileCdg + optional POST_DOMINATE debug edges (M5 #2085)

* fix(review): apply autofix feedback (M5 #2085)

* fix(pdg): label CDG edges by controller arm sense, not edge kind (#2188 F1/F2/F4)

Tri-review (with Codex as the independent engine) found the CDG 'T'/'F' label
was wrong for the commonest control flow: the M1 TS visitor wires a condition's
fall-through FALSE arm as `seq`/`loop-back`, but `branchSense` mapped both to
'T', so guard clauses, if-no-else, and loop `break` got 'T' instead of 'F' (F1,
P1). The structural CDG edges were correct; only the label — the AC3 "under what
condition does X run?" answer — was wrong.

- F1: replace edge-kind `branchSense` with controller-arm-sense `labelFor`. An
  ambiguous fall-through edge (seq/loop-back) takes the COMPLEMENT of its source
  block's explicit cond-true/cond-false sibling arm. This correctly handles
  do/while (loop-back = TRUE arm) and inner-if-in-loop (loop-back = FALSE arm) —
  the ambiguity a kind→label table cannot resolve. Adds real-parser regression
  tests (the hand-built tests used a fictional cond-false edge and missed it).
- F2: correct the false "sound over-approximation that never drops a real
  dependence" claim in post-dominators.ts — exit-unreachable regions both drop
  and invent control dependences (latent for the current TS visitor, which keeps
  EXIT reverse-reachable). Reframe the exit-less-loop test to characterize, not
  bless, the degenerate behavior.
- F4: make the AC2 property-test reference compute post-dominance INDEPENDENTLY
  (node-removal reachability, no shared code with post-dominators.ts), so a
  post-dom direction bug can no longer pass both the impl and the reference.

* fix(ci): root-prettier format + run-analyze pdg stamp gains maxCdgEdgesPerFunction (#2085)

Two deterministic CI failures from the M5 CDG work:
- quality/format: basicblock-roundtrip.test.ts failed CI's root `prettier --check .`
  (the pre-commit hook uses the gitnexus-local prettier config, which differs);
  reformatted with the root config.
- tests/ubuntu/coverage: run-analyze.test.ts pinned the resolved RepoMeta.pdg
  shape (DEFAULTS) and the all-zero cap override without the new
  maxCdgEdgesPerFunction key (default 5000); added it so resolvePdgConfig
  toEqual and pdgModeMismatch(DEFAULTS) pass. (The stale-test sweep missed this
  file in PR #2188 — same trap M2 hit.)

* feat(mcp): add pdg_query tool definition (controls/flows modes) [M6 #2086]

* feat(mcp): pdg_query backend — controls (CDG) + flows (REACHING_DEF) + e2e test [M6 #2086]

* feat(mcp): document PDG edges + pdg_query (schema, cypher, skill, --pdg-gated ai-context) [M6 #2086]

* fix(mcp): correct pdg_query symbol-anchor lower bound + harden inputs [PR #2188 review]

Tri-review (Codex + adversarial + correctness lanes) of the M6 pdg_query
surface found the symbol-anchor window over-includes a neighbor function's
block. The upper bound was widened to the 1-based BasicBlock basis (symEnd+1)
but the lower bound was left 0-based, so a block on the line directly above the
target function leaked into the result. Shift both bounds +1 ([symStart+1,
symEnd+1]) so the window is the function's true block span.

Also from the same review:
- pdg_query no longer throws on a no-arguments MCP call: the dispatch passes
  raw `params`, so default it to {} → a clean mode-validation error instead of
  a TypeError. (`explain` shares this latent pattern — pre-existing follow-up.)
- tools.ts: the controls-mode description no longer hard-codes the 'F' branch
  sense for guards — `if (!ok) return;` rides the predicate's 'T' arm; the
  guard:true flag is label-agnostic (regex on the dependent block text).

Tests: a hand-seeded adjacency regression (verified failing without the
lower-bound +1) + a no-arguments validation test. Skill doc updated to document
the two-sided [symStart+1, symEnd+1] window.

* fix(mcp): drop always-true anchor conditional in pdg_query [CodeQL #2188]

CodeQL alert 756 flagged `...(anchor ? { anchor } : {})` in _pdgQueryImpl as a
useless conditional: `anchor` is unconditionally assigned in both the file-path
and symbol branches before the return (the not-found/ambiguous/no-layer paths
return earlier), so it is always truthy. Drop `| undefined` from the declaration
(TypeScript definite-assignment holds across both branches) and emit `anchor`
directly.

No runtime change — the `anchor` field was already present on every result.

* test(cli): add hasPdg to the noStats bridge expectation [#2188]

The M6 work threaded `hasPdg: options.pdg === true` into the AIContextOptions
passed to generateAIContextFiles on the --skills regeneration path, but this
test's strict .toEqual expectation predated it (4 keys vs 3 → CI failure). Add
`hasPdg: false` (the value on this non---pdg path). The assertion stays strict;
the #1477 noStats bridging it guards is unchanged.

* refactor(cli): collapse generateGitNexusContent params to an options bag [#2188]

The function had grown to 9 positional params; reaching `hasPdg` meant passing
six `undefined`s (the M6 review's maintainability flag). Collapse params 3-9
(generatedSkills, groupNames, noStats, skipSkills, runnerPath, defaultBranch,
hasPdg) into a `GitNexusContentOptions` object with the defaults moved to
destructuring. The body is unchanged (same local names); the single production
caller and the test calls become self-documenting named fields.

Pure refactor — generated AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md content is byte-identical.

* fix(cfg): skip CDG for exit-unreachable CFGs (unsound post-dominance) [#2188]

M5 review P2: computePostDominators roots only at cfg.exitIndex and nothing
enforced that EXIT is reachable from every block. For an entry-reachable region
that cannot reach EXIT (a non-terminating loop, or a multi-terminal CFG a future
visitor might emit) the EXIT-rooted reverse walk degenerates — it both drops
real control dependences and invents spurious ones.

Add a pure precondition predicate `isExitReachableFromAllBlocks` (co-located with
the algorithm it guards) and gate it in emitFileCdg: a CFG that violates it is
skipped for CDG (counted as skippedUnsoundFunctions + one onWarn), while its CFG
and REACHING_DEF projections — which do not depend on post-dominance — are kept.
A CDG-specific gate, not a widening of isEmitSafeCfg, so the blast radius is
exactly the unsound CDG. The current TS visitor always satisfies the
precondition (every loop gets a structural header→loopExit edge), so CDG output
for real fixtures is unchanged.

* fix(cfg): bound computeControlDependence materialization (heap parity) [#2188]

M5 review P2: unlike computeReachingDefs (maxFacts) and the emit-side edge cap,
computeControlDependence materialized the full deduped seen/out before
emitFileCdg's per-function cap could trim it — O(edges × post-dom depth) heap
for a deeply nested function.

Add a `maxEdges` ceiling (default 0 = unbounded) returning {edges, truncated},
mirroring computeReachingDefs's {facts, truncated}. The ceiling is checked
before pushing a new unique edge, so `truncated` means a genuine overflow (not
merely "reached cap"). emitFileCdg passes a FIXED materialization ceiling (8× the
default edge cap) — deliberately NOT derived from the runtime edge cap, because
CDG's materialization IS the deduped-edge quantity the cap reports on (deriving
it would pre-truncate that set and lose the exact dropped count). A ceiling hit
is surfaced via onWarn + the truncated flag — never silent.

* refactor(mcp): share resolveBlockAnchor; fix explain's anchor off-by-one [#2188]

M6 review P2 (duplication) + the flagged pre-existing _explainImpl correctness
follow-up. _pdgQueryImpl and _explainImpl each carried a near-identical
symbol↔block anchor resolver that had DRIFTED: pdg_query used the corrected
[symStart+1, symEnd+1] window (BasicBlock startLine is 1-based, the symbol span
0-based) while _explainImpl still used [symStart, symEnd] — dropping a taint
source on the function's final line AND leaking a neighbor's block on the line
directly above.

Extract one `resolveBlockAnchor` helper, used by both, that applies the correct
window and a single (bare) clause convention (callers compose their own WHERE).
This removes ~50 duplicated lines and fixes explain's anchor in one place.

A hand-seeded characterization test (taint-explain Block 4) pins both bounds —
verified to FAIL on the pre-fix window (it returned the line-10 neighbor instead
of the line-15 final-line source). Existing taint-explain + pdg-query suites are
unchanged (their fixtures have interior sources/sinks).

* fix(mcp): pdg_query reports "status unknown" when the layer can't be confirmed [#2188]

M6 review P3 (Codex): when meta is UNREADABLE and the bounded global existence
probe returns zero rows of the edge type, _pdgQueryImpl asserted "no PDG layer"
— but a genuinely edge-free layer (all-linear functions) is indistinguishable
from a missing one via that probe. Soften only that fallback path to an
inconclusive "PDG layer status unknown — was this repo indexed with --pdg?"
note. The meta-stamped path (stamp present, cap absent ⇒ layer truly missing)
keeps the definitive "no PDG layer" wording.

* test(mcp): cover pdg_query ambiguous / pagination / Windows-path gaps [#2188]

M6 review test-gap follow-ups, all hand-seeded with controlled data:
- ambiguous symbol name → status:'ambiguous' + ranked candidates shape
  (uid/name/filePath/score), never a silent guess;
- total/truncated page boundary in both directions (limit below the match count
  sets truncated with the full total; limit above it omits truncated);
- a Windows-style filePath containing ':' resolves and fnLineOf decodes the
  function-line segment correctly (split-from-right past the drive letter).

* docs(skills): ship gitnexus-pdg-query skill mirrors + add pdg_query to the guide [#2086]

M6 bundled pdg_query into this PR, but the skill shipped only in the canonical
gitnexus/skills/ root. Mirror it (byte-identical) to the two hand-maintained
roots the sibling taint skill uses — .claude/skills/gitnexus/ and the plugin —
so Claude Code + plugin users get it too.

Also extend the gitnexus-guide tool reference (all 3 copies, now byte-identical):
add a `pdg_query` row + a "Control & data dependence" section mirroring the
taint/`explain` section, and reconcile the pre-existing drift where only the
.claude copy carried the `check` tool row (a real registered tool) — all three
now list it.

* docs(architecture): refresh CFG/PDG section for the full M1–M6 stack [#2086]

The PR body had deferred the "ARCHITECTURE docs refresh" to #2086; now that M6
ships here, do it:
- MCP tools table gains `explain` and `pdg_query` (were absent).
- "Optional CFG/PDG emission" was M1-only; rewrite to cover the whole opt-in
  stack — M1 CFG, M2 REACHING_DEF, M3/M4 taint, M5 CDG (Ferrante over CHK
  post-dominators, with the exit-unreachable skip), M6 read surface (pdg_query +
  explain, anchored + LIMIT-bounded, shared resolveBlockAnchor) — and note the
  no-Function→BasicBlock-edge join.
- LadybugDB schema notes the `--pdg` additions: the `BasicBlock` node table and
  the CFG/REACHING_DEF/CDG/TAINTED/SANITIZES/TAINT_PATH relation types, kept out
  of the default VALID_RELATION_TYPES / web schema.

fix(mcp): rename query/cypher params so Claude Code can call them (#2186)
* fix(mcp): advertise search_query/statement params for query/cypher tools (#2175)

Claude Code drops a tool-call argument named exactly 'query', making the
query and cypher tools unusable from it. Rename the advertised required
parameters to search_query and statement so the client transmits them.
Handler-side backward-compat for the legacy 'query' key follows in the
next commit.

* fix(mcp): accept search_query/statement with legacy query fallback (#2175)

Resolve the new advertised param names in the backend while still accepting
the legacy 'query' key, so curl/HTTP, other MCP clients, the CLI, the group
path, and the internal executeCypher() all keep working. Alias is normalized
once at the callTool chokepoint (covers group-forward + search alias); query()
and cypher() dual-read defensively. New name wins when both are supplied.
Updates the required-error message and adds dual-accept unit + integration
coverage.

* fix(cli): pass canonical search_query/statement params to query/cypher tools (#2175)

Stop the CLI from depending on the deprecated 'query' alias. No user-facing
change — the positional args are unchanged and the backend accepts both keys.

* fix(mcp): generators advertise search_query in query() examples (#2175)

Update the three doc/example generators (ai-context AGENTS/CLAUDE block,
skill-gen community skills, resources repo hint) so future analyze runs emit
query({search_query: ...}) — the param name Claude Code actually transmits.
Tests assert the new form is present and the legacy query({query: form is
absent (the #2059 generator-test pattern).

* docs(mcp): advertise search_query/statement in skill & guidance examples (#2175)

Sync the committed agent-facing docs to the renamed params so a Claude Code
agent following them emits the transmittable key: AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md gitnexus
block, the canonical gitnexus/skills/* source and its installed/plugin/cursor
mirrors, and the README examples. Scoped rewrite of the two call prefixes only
(query({query: -> search_query, cypher({query: -> statement).

* style(mcp): prettier line-wrap for #2175 alias-resolution edits

* fix(review): uniform search_query precedence + cypher empty guard (#2175)

Code-review findings (correctness/adversarial/api-contract/maintainability
consensus):
- Group-mode query inverted the 'new name wins' rule: the callTool chokepoint
  backfilled params.query only when empty and the @group-forward read
  params.query directly, so a both-keys (or whitespace-legacy) group call let
  the legacy value win — unlike the local path. Replace the hidden param
  mutation with a self-contained 'search_query ?? query' resolve at the
  group-forward; precedence is now uniformly new-wins at every consumer site.
- cypher() now returns the same friendly required-param error as query() when
  neither statement nor query is supplied, instead of a raw DB prepare error.
- Document the legacy alias as permanent (third-party clients may send query=).
Adds group-forward alias tests (both-keys + legacy-only), empty/whitespace
search_query, the search-alias path, and the cypher empty-statement guard.

* fix(review): non-string alias safety + drop stale chokepoint comment (#2175)

Tri-review findings (correctness/adversarial/security + maintainability):
- Non-string statement/search_query/query (the MCP envelope is not
  schema-validated) hit .trim() and threw TypeError to the server boundary
  instead of a friendly required-param error. Introduce resolveAliasString()
  (new name wins; non-string -> undefined) used by query(), cypher(), and the
  group-forward, so all three return the structured error. Empirically verified
  (123 ?? '' -> 123, (123).trim() throws) — this overrides a critic refutation
  that mis-read ?? as a string coercion.
- Remove the stale query() comment claiming alias resolution happens at a
  callTool chokepoint; that mutation was removed earlier in this PR — each site
  resolves the alias itself.
- Document GroupToolPort.query's intentionally-narrower required type vs the
  wider LocalBackend impl.
Adds non-string and empty-new-key precedence tests.

* fix(mcp): alias falls back to legacy value when new key is blank (#2175)

PR #2186 review finding: resolveAliasString used `canonical ?? legacy`
(nullish), so an explicitly empty/whitespace new-name value (e.g.
{search_query:'', query:'real'}) won and was rejected — discarding a valid
legacy value, contradicting the 'new name wins when both supplied' intent.
Resolve to the first NON-BLANK string instead (new preferred when it carries
a real value, else legacy). Covers query(), cypher(), and the group-forward
(all route through the helper); non-string still resolves to a friendly error.
Flips the presence-based test and adds whitespace/cypher/group fallback cases.

* fix(mcp): drop legacy "query" mention from query/cypher schema descriptions (#2175)

PR #2186 review finding: the search_query/statement inputSchema descriptions
named the legacy "query" key — the exact arg Claude Code drops — and
description text is read by an LLM choosing arguments, weakly nudging it to
send "query". Trim the descriptions to their clean form and move the
legacy-alias note to a code comment next to the schema (preserved for
maintainers / non-CC clients). properties/required unchanged (no `query`).

feat(taint): intra-procedural taint analysis (#2083) (#2164)
* feat(taint): harvest occurrence-tagged call/member sites on StatementFacts (#2083 U1)

Worker-side site harvest in TsHarvester: call/new/member-read records with
dotted callee paths, receiver slots, per-argument occurrence tagging with
nested-site links, per-declarator resultDefs, spread/template/require-literal
markers. hasTaintSafeSites validation seam. The pdg parse-cache chunk-key
namespace is versioned (pdg:1 -> pdg:2) instead of a global SCHEMA_BUMP so
flag-off users keep warm caches; bench fingerprints re-baselined for the
three call-bearing scenarios (straight-line/dense-bindings byte-unchanged).

* feat(taint): built-in TS/JS source/sink/sanitizer model + site matcher (#2083 U2)

Typed spec (kind taxonomy; sanitizers carry neutralizes-kinds), the canonical
Express/Node model, and matchFunctionSites: ESM alias/namespace + require-
literal callee resolution, bare-name fallback restricted to true globals,
sanitizers module-or-global only (never user-shadowable by name), spread/
template arg-position rules, deterministic taintModelVersion.

* feat(taint): pure intra-procedural taint propagation engine (#2083 U3)

Two-rule model (statement-local + du-fact worklist) with per-taint
neutralized-kind exclusion sets: sanitizers exclude only the sink kinds
they neutralize (escape(req.body) suppresses res.send but still fires
db.query; exec(path.basename(t)) fires), intersection-over-paths so a
bypass occurrence keeps the taint live, kill locality on resultDefs,
propagate-through args+receiver with viaCall hops, one path per finding,
deterministic caps, coverage-gap statuses. Test-first: 38 scenarios on
real harvested CFGs.

* feat(taint): thread taint caps + model version through pdg config/meta (#2083 U5)

resolvePdgConfig gains maxTaintFindingsPerFunction (200), maxTaintHops (32),
and the taintModelVersion digest; RepoMeta.pdg + RunScopeResolutionInput
surfaces added. The key-union comparator trips full writeback on M2->M3
upgrade and on model-version change without --force (mode-flip tested).
No CLI flags or rc keys (programmatic parity with the other caps).

* feat(taint): in-phase taint emit with sparse TAINTED/SANITIZES edges (#2083 U4)

run.ts pdg window: match-first fast path (solver only when a function has
both a matched source and sink) -> computeReachingDefs with the shared RD
fact derivation -> computeTaintFlows -> per-finding TAINTED (versioned
hop-encoded reason via the shared path codec, statement-level occurrence
identity) + per-kill SANITIZES, dedup-before-budget, truncate-and-warn.
All emit counters surfaced (aggregate warn for gaps/drops, debug for
volume); PROF gains taint=. Flag-off golden untouched.

* feat(mcp): explain tool for persisted taint findings (#2083 U6)

Anchorless calls enumerate the sparse TAINTED table (bounded, deterministic,
limit-clamped); anchored calls (file or symbol via resolveSymbolCandidates)
return full decoded hop detail. sinkKind rides a version-1 codec header
(1;<kind>|hops — no other persisted channel exists; U4/U6 ship together).
RepoMeta.pdg probe yields a no-taint-layer note instead of an error.
TAINTED/SANITIZES pinned OUT of VALID_RELATION_TYPES (KTD9a negative-
membership tests); generators + canonical skill docs + mirrors updated.

* test(taint): acceptance fixture battery, snapshots, and bench gates (#2083 U7)

pdg-repo taint-cases fixtures complete the six plan shapes; committed
findings/kills snapshot via a shared pure-path harness that also feeds the
AE2 exact-equality assertion (stored TAINTED == pure-path findings, the
no-explosion gate). New taint-dense bench scenario with four --check gates:
per-function findings pinned AT the cap, absolute reason-byte + site-bytes
disk ceilings (the load-bearing R10 gate), zero-match pass < 0.5x match-
dense, N-linearity. Pre-existing scenario baselines untouched.

* refactor(taint): share one pointKey helper across propagate + emit (#2083 review)

Extract pointKey(ProgramPoint) to cfg/reaching-defs.ts (colon-separated,
matching the codebase block:stmt id convention) and import it in both
propagate.ts and emit.ts, replacing the two divergent locals (':' vs '.').
Edge-id material now uses the colon form; ids are in-memory only and no
test asserts the pointKey segment shape.

* fix(taint): discriminate taint state by source occurrence (#2083 review)

Two distinct sources flowing into one variable at one def point no longer
collapse to a single TAINTED edge: the taint-state key gains a root
source-occurrence discriminator ({point, siteIndex} — the same fields
recordFinding's identity uses, excluding kind). Def->use fact lookup keys
on the source-independent (binding, def-point) portion. Same-source
multi-path flows still share one state so their exclusion sets intersect
(the raw arm soundly wins); termination holds (finite keys, monotone
shrink, no cross-source ping-pong). Restores the KTD6 identity contract.

* fix(mcp): route dotted symbol names in explain to symbol resolution (#2083 review)

The fileish classifier matched any dotted name (UserController.create)
as a file via its extension-like suffix, so symbol resolution never ran
and the tool returned a silent empty file-anchored result. Tighten the
classifier to require a path separator or a real source extension (derived
from the resolver's EXTENSIONS list, multi-language), so dotted/bare names
route to resolveSymbolCandidates (found / ambiguous / not-found).

* fix(mcp): gate explain no-taint-layer note on taintModelVersion (#2083 review)

An M1/M2-era --pdg index has meta.pdg defined (BasicBlock/REACHING_DEF
recorded) but no taintModelVersion and zero TAINTED rows. The probe keyed
on generic meta.pdg presence, so explain returned the generic empty note
instead of the actionable 'no taint layer — run analyze' hint. Gate on
meta.pdg?.taintModelVersion (the field M3 stamps) so an M2-era index gets
the layer hint; a taint-stamped index with no findings still gets the
generic note.

* fix(taint): sequence-expression value flows only the final operand (#2083 review)

A comma expression in value position (exec((log(x), 'safe'))) default-
descended, fanning every operand's occurrences into the enclosing sink
argument — over-tainting exec's arg 0 with x. Add an explicit walkValue
case that records earlier operands' uses with occurrence fan-out suppressed
(new FactAccumulator.suppressOccurrences) and routes only the last operand
through the value path. Sites-layer only; defs/uses/mayDefs byte-identical
(cfg + reaching-defs snapshots unchanged).

* perf(taint): FIFO head-cursor worklist + dedup before chainHops (#2083 review)

Replace queue.shift() (O(N) dequeue) with a strict-FIFO head cursor plus
order-preserving prefix reclamation; FIFO is load-bearing because chainHops
reads the live taints map whose parent/source/viaCall are rewritten
order-sensitively on monotone shrink, so hop determinism is dequeue-order
contingent. Extract findingKey() and dedup-check before chainHops in the
justify branch — already-recorded identities discard their hop chain
(first write wins), so the ancestry walk was pure waste. The else kill
branch is untouched. Findings + hops byte-identical (snapshot unchanged).

* perf(taint): O(1) member-read dedup via composite-key set (#2083 review)

addMemberRead rescanned the whole per-statement sites array per call to
dedup by (object, property, parent) — O(n^2) on member-read-dense
statements. Track a composite-key Set alongside sites for O(1) dedup.
(The require-literal join is already O(sites) with a no-op body on
non-require sites, so no early-exit is needed there.) Behavior identical:
harvest + model-match + taint snapshots unchanged.

* refactor(taint): drop test-only export; source taint caps via emit.ts (#2083 review)

Remove the sanitizerNeutralizes export (its only consumers were two test
assertions — inlined to entry.neutralizes membership). Re-export the
DEFAULT_PDG_MAX_TAINT_* caps from emit.ts and point run.ts at emit.ts, so
the pipeline's taint dependency surface is the single orchestration module
rather than reaching into propagate.ts.

* test(taint): extract the shared TS CFG/taint test harness (#2083 review)

The parse/collectFunctions/cfgOf/cfgsOf/importsFor harness was copied
byte-for-byte across four suites (harvest, model-match, propagate,
taint-emit). Promote it to test/helpers/ts-cfg-harness.ts and import it.
site-safety/reaching-defs carry a structurally different inlined builder
and are left as-is. Pure extraction, no assertion changes.

* test(mcp): harden explain limit-rejection battery (#2083 review)

Add NaN, Infinity, -Infinity, and a numeric string to the out-of-bounds
limit cases — a regression fence over the interpolated LIMIT, confirming
the Number.isInteger guard rejects every non-integer/non-finite/string
input before it reaches the query.

feat(mcp): paginate list_repos to avoid client token truncation (#2119) (#2120)
* feat(mcp): paginate list_repos to avoid client token truncation (#2119)

list_repos returned every indexed repository in one unpaginated array,
which large/LLM MCP clients truncate by token limit — so agents with
hundreds of indexed repos could not enumerate them all (the data
transmits fully; the consuming client drops it).

Add bounded limit/offset pagination to the list_repos tool:
- result changes from a bare array to
  { repositories, pagination: { total, limit, offset, returned,
  hasMore, nextOffset } }; default page 50, max 200 (shared constants)
- reject malformed limit/offset; clamp limit above the max
- deterministic order (lower-cased name, then path) over one registry
  snapshot per call, so paging never skips or duplicates an entry
- covers both stdio and remote /api/mcp (shared createMCPServer/callTool)

The internal listRepos() method (5 callers), GET /api/repos, and the
`gitnexus list` CLI are unchanged. The array->object tool-result shape
is a deliberate contract change, documented in CHANGELOG.

* fix(mcp): reject list_repos limit above the max instead of clamping (#2119)

parseListReposPagination silently clamped limit>max to the maximum while
throwing on every other out-of-bounds value (limit<1, offset<0, non-integer,
NaN). A client that advanced offset by its requested limit (rather than
pagination.nextOffset) then silently skipped repositories and saw
hasMore:false — defeating the "never skips" guarantee. Reject an over-max
limit too, so validation is symmetric and a caller never gets a smaller page
than it asked for without a clear error. Updates the schema/description, the
helper + ListReposPagination JSDoc, the guide note, and the two clamp tests.

Resolves the cross-engine-corroborated P2 (Codex + adversarial lane) and the
maintainability lane's clamp-vs-throw inconsistency from the PR #2120 review.

* refactor(mcp): name the list_repos return type and mark the parser @internal

Extract the inline listRepos() element shape into an exported RepoListing
interface and use it for both listRepos() and listReposPage().repositories,
replacing the opaque Awaited<ReturnType<LocalBackend['listRepos']>> expression
the maintainability review flagged. Tag parseListReposPagination @internal
(it is exported only for unit testing). Pure type/JSDoc change; no behavior.

* refactor(eval-server): type formatListReposResult to the paginated shape

Narrow formatListReposResult's parameter from `any` to
{ repositories: RepoListing[]; pagination?: ListReposPagination } and drop the
dead bare-array branch — after #2119 callTool('list_repos') always returns the
paginated object, so the Array.isArray shim was unreachable. Add a list_repos
continuation hint to the eval-server's getNextStepHint (parity with the MCP

branch. Migrates the two bare-array formatter tests to the object shape.

* test(mcp): harden list_repos pagination coverage

- Exercise the #2054 sibling-clone guarantee through the real callTool tool
  path (in the #2054 describe, which has temp-dir cleanup), proving siblings
  and remoteUrl survive listReposPage's sort+slice — not only listRepos().
- Assert total + limit on the middle-page test (a total miscalculation at a
  non-zero offset would otherwise slip past it).
- Cover the benign boundaries: negative-zero offset (accepted as page 0) and a
  MAX_SAFE_INTEGER offset (empty page).
- Replace the integration test's '\n\n---' split with a string-aware brace
  scan, so a repo path containing braces can never truncate the JSON parse.

* docs(skills): sync the list_repos pagination example to the guide mirrors

The .claude and gitnexus-claude-plugin guide mirrors only carried the one-line
table note; add the full "Paginating list_repos" section (shape + multi-page
traversal example + notes) so all three guide copies are byte-consistent with
the canonical gitnexus/skills/gitnexus-guide.md.

* chore: drop list_repos CHANGELOG entries from this PR

Restore gitnexus/CHANGELOG.md to match main so this PR contributes no
changelog change; the changelog is curated separately from feature PRs.

feat(mcp): add tool safety annotations (#1127)
* feat(mcp): add tool safety annotations

* test(mcp): address PR #1127 review follow-ups

- Replace private `_requestHandlers` SDK access in server.test.ts with
  `Client` + `InMemoryTransport.createLinkedPair()` for the tools/list
  annotation propagation test. The new path uses supported public APIs
  and surfaces SDK changes loudly instead of silently degrading.
- Extract `OPEN_WORLD_READ_ONLY_TOOLS` set in tools.test.ts so future
  read-only open-world tools can be added without rewriting the
  invariant; preserves the current "only `query` is open-world" guard.
- Add inline rationale on `group_sync` annotations explaining the
  conservative `idempotentHint: false` (writes contracts.json on every
  call even when output is deterministic).

No runtime behavior change. Annotations themselves and tools/list shape
are unchanged.

4fed097abb feat(group): add sync pipeline, CLI, MCP tools, and monorepo fixture
Wire extractors into the sync pipeline with service boundary detection.
GroupService provides high-level API for all group operations.

- Sync pipeline: orchestrates extraction (HTTP, gRPC, topics) with
  service boundary assignment and exact matching
- GroupService: groupList, groupSync, groupContracts, groupQuery,
  groupStatus (groupImpact deferred to cross-repo follow-up PR)
- CLI: group create/add/remove/list/sync/contracts/query/status
- MCP tools: group_list, group_sync, group_contracts, group_query,
  group_status
- Monorepo fixture: 3 services (auth/orders/gateway) connected via
  gRPC + Kafka + HTTP — all intra-repo cross-links discovered
- Documentation: CLI commands and MCP tools added to both READMEs

feat: configure eslint with unused import removal (#564)
* feat: configure eslint with unused import removal

Add ESLint v9 (flat config) for code quality:
- eslint-plugin-unused-imports for auto-removing dead imports
- @typescript-eslint for TypeScript-aware linting
- eslint-plugin-react-hooks for React hooks rules
- eslint-config-prettier to avoid formatting conflicts
- lint-staged runs eslint --fix before prettier on .ts/.tsx
- CI lint job added to ci-quality.yml

* refactor: remove unused imports via eslint --fix

Auto-fixed by eslint-plugin-unused-imports. No logic changes.

* chore: add eslint fix commit to .git-blame-ignore-revs

feat: configure prettier with pre-commit hook (#563)
* feat: configure prettier with pre-commit hook integration

Add prettier, lint-staged, and prettier-plugin-tailwindcss at the repo
root with husky pre-commit hook integration. Moves husky from
gitnexus/ to root package.json for reliable hook installation.

- Root package.json with prepare/format/format:check scripts
- .prettierrc with endOfLine:lf and tailwindStylesheet for TW v4
- .prettierignore excluding fixtures, vendor, generated, *.d.ts, *.md
- .gitattributes enforcing LF line endings for Windows consistency
- Pre-commit hook uses direct node_modules/.bin/ paths (no npx)

* style: apply prettier formatting to entire codebase

One-time bulk format. No logic changes.
Use .git-blame-ignore-revs to skip this commit in git blame.

* chore: add .git-blame-ignore-revs for prettier format commit

* perf: pre-commit hook runs only tests related to staged files

Use vitest --related to scope test execution to tests that import
the changed files, instead of running the full suite on every commit.

* perf: remove vitest from pre-commit hook, keep in CI only

Pre-commit now runs lint-staged + tsc only. Tests run in CI
(ci-tests.yml) where they belong — keeps commits fast.

* ci: add prettier format check to quality workflow

PRs will now fail if code isn't formatted with prettier.
