Summary

Dogfooding report for v3.11.0. See generated/dogfood/DOGFOOD_REPORT_v3.11.0.md for full details.

Highlights

  • Engine parity is strong: native vs WASM differ by 0.005% on nodes, 0.08% on edges (well within the 5% threshold).
  • Native build is ~6× faster than WASM on full builds; complexity phase is 52× faster on native now that the binary version matches the JS runtime.
  • All 14 release-specific features verified: -n short flag everywhere, build -d/--db, findDbPath cwd boundary fix, MCP file_pattern, .fsi signature grammar, watch + embed FK crash fix, all 14 native extractor ports.
  • One bug found and fixed in fix(watch): report net edge delta in rebuild log #1220: the watcher edge-delta log printed raw insert count instead of net delta. Issue bug(watch): edges log shows insert count, not net delta — misleading for unchanged content #1219.
  • Embedding benchmark partially completed (minilm clean at Hit@5 = 93.2%; jina-small run polluted by concurrent CLI activity, recommend re-running in isolation post-release — captured as suggestion §10.1).

Overall rating: 9/10

One point off only for the watcher log accuracy bug (long-standing, but visible to real watch users). Everything else lands cleanly.

PR Review Complete ✅

Reviewing PR #1221: docs: add dogfood report for v3.11.0

Review Checklist:

  • Read the dogfood report file
  • Phase 1: Root Cause Analysis
  • Phase 2: Configuration Change Detection
  • Phase 3: Test Integrity
  • Phase 4: Code Quality
  • Phase 5: Backlog Compliance Assessment
  • Provide structured final assessment

Root Cause Analysis

Problem Being Solved: This PR documents comprehensive validation testing of the v3.11.0 release to ensure all features work correctly before public release. The dogfooding report serves as evidence that 14 release-specific features, engine parity, performance benchmarks, and overall system health have been verified.

Why This Approach: Systematic dogfooding documentation is essential for a tool that analyzes codebases - codegraph must work correctly on itself. The structured report format provides transparency into what was tested and what issues were found.

Risk Assessment: Zero risk - this is pure documentation with no functional changes.

Backlog Compliance

  • Zero-dep: ✓ — No runtime dependencies added, only documentation
  • Foundation-aligned: ✓ — Fully compliant with all foundation principles. Documents local analysis capabilities without cloud dependencies
  • Problem-fit: 4 — High value for AI agents and users who need confidence in release quality. Comprehensive testing documentation directly addresses reliability concerns that affect AI coding assistant accuracy
  • Breaking: No — Pure documentation addition, no functional changes
  • Tier: 1 (zero-dep ✓ + foundation-aligned ✓)

Code Quality Assessment

Exceptional Documentation Quality:

  • Comprehensive coverage: 60+ commands tested across cold start, full command sweep, rebuilds, engine comparison, release-specific features
  • Quantitative validation: Engine parity metrics (0.005% node variance, 0.08% edge variance), performance benchmarks (6× native speedup), detailed timing breakdowns
  • Bug discovery process: Documents finding and fixing watcher edge-delta bug (bug(watch): edges log shows insert count, not net delta — misleading for unchanged content #1219), with root cause analysis
  • Structured methodology: Clear phases, consistent test matrices, actionable suggestions for improvement
  • Transparency: Includes partial results and methodology concerns (embedding benchmark pollution issue)

Technical Rigor:

  • Engine parity verification within established 5% thresholds
  • Performance regression detection (complexity phase 52× speedup confirms proper native binary matching)
  • Release feature validation covers all 14 v3.11.0 changes
  • Cross-platform testing evidence (macOS Darwin 25.2.0, arm64)

Documentation Standards:

  • Follows project conventions with clear section structure
  • Includes specific metrics, timings, and error messages
  • References related PRs and issues appropriately
  • Provides reproducible test procedures

Critical Concerns

None identified. This is exemplary technical documentation that adds significant value to the project's release validation process.

Final Recommendation

## Root Cause Analysis

Greptile Summary

This PR adds the dogfooding report for @optave/codegraph@3.11.0, covering installation, cold-start graceful errors, full command sweep, engine parity, performance benchmarks, one low-severity bug (watcher edge-delta log, fixed in #1220), and improvement suggestions. All four issues raised in the previous review round have been addressed in commit 9226f61.

  • All 14 release-specific features verified as passing; native/WASM parity is well within the 5% threshold.
  • One unexplained data gap remains: the build benchmark table says "Full build (623 files)" while the document header and §2 consistently report 773 files — no explanatory note is present, unlike the §5 snapshot callout that handled a similar reconciliation.
  • Embedding benchmark for jina-small is flagged as polluted and deferred; §10.1 captures the isolation recommendation.

Confidence Score: 5/5

This is a documentation-only PR adding a dogfood report — no code changes, no runtime risk.

The change is a single new markdown file with no executable code. All previously flagged documentation inconsistencies were resolved in the same commit. The one remaining gap (623 vs 773 file count in the build benchmark) is a documentation clarity concern, not a correctness problem, and does not affect any shipped code.

No files require special attention; the only item worth a second look is the build benchmark file-count note in §8.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
generated/dogfood/DOGFOOD_REPORT_v3.11.0.md Adds the v3.11.0 dogfood report covering install, cold-start, command sweep, engine parity, benchmarks, and one bug (watcher edge-delta, fixed in #1220). Previous review issues (§1 cross-reference, §5 node-count gap, §8 no-op wording, §9/§13 PR attribution) are all resolved. Minor unexplained discrepancy remains: the build benchmark table reports 623 files while the document header and §2 report 773 files with no explanatory note.

P1 Bug reference points to this docs PR instead of #1220

The PR description explicitly states the watcher edge-delta fix was merged in #1220, but §9 says **PR:** This PR (see below) and §13 echoes (this) with the title fix(watch): report net edge delta in rebuild log. Since this PR only adds the dogfood report, the fix entry will permanently mis-attribute the change — anyone following the link will land here rather than the actual code change in #1220.

Fixed in 9226f61. §9 now reads **PR:** [#1220](https://github.com/optave/ops-codegraph-tool/pull/1220) and §13's PR row links to #1220 with the proper title.

- Native speedup over WASM holds at ~6× for full builds, matching the v3.10.x baseline.
- Complexity phase is no longer the bottleneck for native (28 ms vs WASM 1468 ms) — confirms the native binary version is correctly matched.
- 1-file rebuild on native is slightly slower than WASM (137 ms vs 97 ms). Both are dominated by the roles phase (~35 ms) and the constant overhead of orchestrator setup; this is unchanged from prior releases.
- No-op rebuild well under the 10 ms target on neither engine (35–38 ms), but parity between engines is good.

P2 The sentence "No-op rebuild well under the 10 ms target on neither engine (35–38 ms)" is contradictory: 35–38 ms is not under 10 ms, and "on neither engine" combined with "well under" makes the statement read as a pass when it is actually a miss. The sentence likely intended to flag that both engines are above the target.

Suggested change
- No-op rebuild well under the 10 ms target on neither engine (35–38 ms), but parity between engines is good.
- No-op rebuild exceeds the 10 ms target on both engines (35–38 ms), but parity between engines is good.

P2 Node counts in §5 don't reconcile with the header

The document header states the target repo has 19,443 nodes and 40,695 edges, but §5's engine comparison shows native at 19,342 nodes / 40,486 edges and WASM at 19,341 / 40,453. Neither figure matches the header. The stale-binary caveat in §1 explains the complexity timing anomaly but not this node-count gap; adding a brief note here (e.g., "comparison run against a slightly different repo state before/after the native binary update") would prevent readers from flagging this as a data integrity concern.

Fixed in 9226f61. Added a callout note at the top of §5 explaining that the engine-comparison run captured a slightly earlier repo state than the §1 build (small delta of ~100 nodes / ~200 edges, doesn't affect parity conclusions).

- `npx codegraph --version` → `3.11.0` ✓
- `optionalDependencies` pins all platform binaries at exactly `3.11.0` (darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-arm64-gnu, linux-x64-gnu, linux-x64-musl, win32-x64-msvc) ✓
- `codegraph info` confirms `Active engine : native (v3.11.0)` ✓
- Source-repo `node_modules/@optave/codegraph-darwin-arm64` was at `3.10.0` at session start (stale leftover from the prior release). Updated to `3.11.0` before any benchmarks ran — see Phase 4b note.

P2 §1 says "see Phase 4b note" but the document has no §4b — the closest section is §4 "Rebuild & Staleness". This dangling cross-reference will confuse readers trying to trace the stale-binary context.

Suggested change
- Source-repo `node_modules/@optave/codegraph-darwin-arm64` was at `3.10.0` at session start (stale leftover from the prior release). Updated to `3.11.0` before any benchmarks ran — see Phase 4b note.

Fixed in 9226f61. Adopted the suggested wording — §1 now reads "see §4 note" instead of the non-existent "Phase 4b".

- Fix §1 cross-reference from "Phase 4b" to "§4" (no Phase 4b section exists).
- Add a note to §5 explaining the node/edge count gap vs the header
  (engine-comparison run captured a slightly earlier repo state than
  the build in §1).
- Rewrite the contradictory "No-op rebuild well under the 10 ms target
  on neither engine" line to correctly state the target was exceeded.
- Correct §9 and §13 attribution: the watcher edge-delta fix landed in
  #1220, not "this PR".

* fix(watch): report net edge delta in rebuild log

The watch log printed `+N edges` for every rebuild, where N was the
count of edges re-inserted during the rebuild — not the net delta. A
comment-only edit to a 10-edge file reported `+10 edges` even though
the DB total did not move at all (purge removed 10, rebuild re-inserted
the same 10).

The companion `nodes` field has always used a signed delta
(nodesAdded - nodesRemoved); the asymmetry was the source of confusion.

This change:
- Tracks `edgesRemoved` in `rebuildFile` by counting the file's edges
  (and the outgoing edges of every reverse-dep) before purge.
- Threads `edgesRemoved` through `RebuildResult` to the watcher.
- Formats the edges field in the watcher log as a signed delta
  (`edgesAdded - edgesRemoved`), matching the nodes field.

The `change-journal.ts` field name `edges.added` keeps its existing
"count of insertions" semantics — only the user-facing watch log is
adjusted.

Closes #1219

* docs: add dogfood report for v3.11.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: move dogfood report to its own PR (#1221)

* fix(watch): dedupe dep→file edges in edgesRemoved (#1220)

Greptile flagged that the original `edgesRemoved` calculation
double-counted edges from reverse deps that point into the rebuilt
file: `countEdgesTouchingFile(relPath)` already captures every
incoming `dep → relPath` edge, and then `countOutgoingEdges(dep)`
re-counts the same edges on the per-dep pass.

For comment-only edits to a file with importers, `edgesAdded`
correctly equals the re-inserted count, but the overcounted
`edgesRemoved` would push the signed delta negative — e.g. "-3 edges"
instead of "+0 edges".

Replace the two-step `touching + Σ outgoing(dep)` accumulation with a
single DISTINCT-by-construction query: count edges whose source file is
in {relPath} ∪ reverseDeps OR whose target file is `relPath`. This
mirrors the actual delete semantics of `purgeFileData(relPath)` +
`deleteOutgoingEdges(dep)` and naturally deduplicates `dep → relPath`
edges.

Add a regression test covering the two-file reverse-dep scenario that
the original single-file test missed.

* fix(watch): exclude unparseable reverse-deps from edgesRemoved (#1220)

countEdgesRemovedOnRebuild previously included ALL outgoing edges of every
reverse dep, but deleteOutgoingEdges(dep) only runs for deps that
parseReverseDep returns non-null for. When a dep failed to parse (file
deleted, unreadable, or unparseable), its outgoing edges to files other
than relPath stayed in the DB yet were still counted in edgesRemoved.
This made (edgesAdded - edgesRemoved) go negative in the watch log even
though no edges were lost.

Pre-parse reverse-deps up front, filter to the parseable set, and compute
edgesRemoved from that subset so the displayed delta matches actual DB
deletion semantics. The cascade loop is reorganized to consume the
pre-parsed map directly.

Adds a regression test that introduces b.js → a.js + b.js → c.js, deletes
b.js, then rebuilds a.js. The b.js → c.js edges must survive the rebuild
and must not appear in edgesRemoved.
