      "Title": "feat: add analyze_api_surface_mutation tool",
      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\nThe current impact analysis treats all changes equally. A developer renaming a local variable (internal refactor) and a developer adding a required parameter to an exported function (breaking API change) both produce the same \"affected\" verdict. The agent cannot distinguish severity, prioritize test execution, or correctly label PRs.\n\n## What the agent gains\n\nClassifies each change as `internal_refactor` or `breaking_api_change`. Enables the agent to:\n- Flag PRs that break downstream",

      "Title": "feat: add differentiate_type_impact tool",
      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\nIf module B changes only a `TypeAliasDeclaration` or `InterfaceDeclaration`, module A's compiled JavaScript is unchanged — TypeScript types are erased at compile time. But the current BFS marks A as affected regardless, triggering redundant test runs.\n\nIn a large codebase with heavy type refactoring (e.g. migrating to stricter types, adding generics), this causes massive unnecessary CI execution.\n\n## What the agent gains\n\nPrunes entire test branches when the change is type-only AND t",

      "Title": "feat: surface circular dependency chains in get_dependency_graph",
      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\nThe BFS traversal already skips visited nodes to prevent infinite recursion on circular imports — but it silently discards the cycle information. The agent never learns that circular dependencies exist, even though the traversal data is right there.\n\nCircular dependencies are a meaningful code quality signal:\n- Tight architectural coupling\n- Unpredictable module initialization order at runtime\n- Memory overhead during resolution\n- DI framework failures (Angular, NestJS, InversifyJS)\n",

      "Title": "fix: get_affected_tests_by_branch misses renamed/moved files",
      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\n`get_affected_tests_by_branch` uses plain `git diff` to find changed files. When a developer moves `src/utils/helper.ts` → `src/shared/helper.ts`, git reports it as a full delete + add. The dependency graph loses continuity — historical import connections to the old path are severed, and the mapper incorrectly concludes that all dependents are \"no longer relevant.\"\n\nAdditionally, whitespace-only changes (linter auto-formatting, `prettier --write`) trigger unnecessary full test runs.\n",

The current server maps *forward* impact (what does this change affect?) but never maps *isolation* (what is never referenced by anything?).\n\n## What the agent gains\n\nSafe dead code candidates with zero incoming import edges in the full project graph.
