[1.4.6] - 2026-03-18

Phase 7 type resolution — return-aware loop inference for call-expression iterables (#341)
- ReturnTypeLookup interface with lookupReturnType / lookupRawReturnType split
- ForLoopExtractorContext context object replacing positional (node, env) signature
- Call-expression iterable resolution across 8 languages (TS/JS, Java, Kotlin, C#, Go, Rust, Python, PHP)
- PHP $this->property foreach via @var class property scan (Strategy C)
- PHP function_call_expression and member_call_expression foreach paths
- extractElementTypeFromString as canonical raw-string container unwrapper in shared.ts
- extractReturnTypeName deduplicated from call-processor.ts into shared.ts (137 lines removed)
- SKIP_SUBTREE_TYPES performance optimization with documented template_string exclusion
- pendingCallResults infrastructure (dormant — Phase 9 work)

impact: return structured error + partial results instead of crashing (#345)
impact: add HAS_METHOD and OVERRIDES to VALID_RELATION_TYPES (#350)
cli: write tool output to stdout via fd 1 instead of stderr (#346)
postinstall: add permission fix for CLI and hook scripts (#348)
workflow: use prefixed temporary branch name for fork PRs to prevent overwriting real branches
test: add --repo to CLI e2e tool tests for multi-repo environment
php: add declaration_list type guard on findClassPropertyElementType fallback
docs: correct pendingCallResults description in roadmap and system docs

Ruby language support for CLI and web (#111)
TypeEnvironment API with constructor inference, self/this/super resolution (#274)
Return type inference with doc-comment parsing (JSDoc, PHPDoc, YARD) and per-language type extractors (#284)
Phase 4 type resolution — nullable unwrapping, for-loop typing, assignment chain propagation (#310)
Phase 5 type resolution — chained calls, pattern matching, class-as-receiver (#315)
Phase 6 type resolution — for-loop Tier 1c, pattern matching, container descriptors, 10-language coverage (#318)
- Container descriptor table for generic type argument resolution (Map keys vs values)
- Method-aware for-loop extractors with integration tests for all languages
- Recursive pattern binding (C# is patterns, Kotlin when/is smart casts)
- Class field declaration unwrapping for C#/Java
- PHP $this->property foreach member access
- C++ pointer dereference range-for
- Java this.data.values() field access patterns
- Position-indexed when/is bindings for branch-local narrowing
Type resolution system documentation with architecture guide and roadmap
.gitignore and .gitnexusignore support during file discovery (#231)
Codex MCP configuration documentation in README (#236)
skipGraphPhases pipeline option to skip MRO/community/process phases for faster test runs
hookTimeout: 120000 in vitest config for CI beforeAll hooks

Worker pool threshold — skip worker creation for small repos (<15 files or <512KB total)
AST walk pruning via SKIP_SUBTREE_TYPES for leaf-only nodes (string, comment, number literals)
Pre-computed interestingNodeTypes set — single Set.has() replaces 3 checks per AST node
fastStripNullable — skip full nullable parsing for simple identifiers (90%+ case)
Replace .children?.find() with manual for loops in extractFunctionName to eliminate array allocations

Same-directory Python import resolution (#328)
Ruby method-level call resolution, HAS_METHOD edges, and dispatch table (#278)
C++ fixture file casing for case-sensitive CI
Template string incorrectly included in AST pruning set (contains interpolated expressions)
