Reported issues for CodeNib

Pod holds 19 of 20 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

Proposal: first-class multimodal repository knowledge view

Motivation

The first multimodal wiki media PR added source-grounded media slots, local SVG generation, provider-neutral image generation, asset serving, and frontend rendering.

The next step is to make repository-native visual artifacts part of CodeNib's reusable repository context layer. Images and diagrams should not only decorate wiki pages; they should be compiled into persistent, source-grounded repository knowledge that wik

RFC: Expose CodeMiner backbone via MCP server

Summary

Expose CodeMiner's backbone capabilities (semantic indexing, CodeGraph, hybrid retrieval, graph expansion, incremental patching) as MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools over stdio. This lets external agent frameworks (Codex, OpenHands, Claude Code, ADK, Gemini CLI, LangChain) leverage CodeMiner's unique infrastructure without CodeMiner needing to build its own agent orchestration.

Motivation

CodeMiner's core value is its backbone — multi-language semantic indexing (SCIP/LSP/tree-s

ci: restrict persistent runner to trusted full workflow

Problem

wolverine is currently registered as a repository-level self-hosted runner for the public CodeNib repository. A fork pull request can propose a workflow that requests repository runner labels, so hosted-only workflow defaults are not an enforcement boundary. GitHub recommends against exposing reusable self-hosted runners to public repositories.

#461 separates the checked-in PR unit workflow from trusted full CI and moves release/community jobs to GitHub-hosted runners. The remaini

RFC: build once, serve everywhere with Pages and artifact-backed MCP

Summary

Make CodeNib a build-once, serve-everywhere repository-context platform. One commit-addressed artifact should support a public static Wiki, local or team MCP clients, and agent integrations without rebuilding the repository or leaking provider credentials.

This RFC extends the completed local Developer Preview in docs/product_roadmap.md. It does not replace the manifest-backed compiler/runtime or introduce a hosted SaaS.

Motivation

CodeNib already provides incremental multi-v

perf(cpp): productionize native clangd query acceleration

Summary

Track the production cutover of CodeNib's capability-scoped native clangd query path for C/C++. A local implementation demonstrates that existing clangd .idx files can feed provider-neutral decoded records and a graph-free FactQueryIndex while retaining lazy CodeGraph materialization.

This tracker does not declare the whole C++ cold-start or storage program complete. It closes the gap between a successful local vertical slice and a production-supported serving path.

Plan: migrate user-facing product name from CodeMiner to CodeNib

Decision

Rename the paper and user-facing product from CodeMiner to CodeNib without performing a big-bang rename of stable artifact or programmatic identifiers.

The first implementation batch on main should change branding and add compatibility aliases. Destructive identifier changes require a separate explicit decision after the current PR queue is merged.

Naming invariant

perf(scip): gate a lazy FactQueryIndex provider at the MCP boundary

Dependency

Blocked by #597. The consumer-safe receipt/filter proof must land before this provider can be benchmarked.

Goal

Build a lazy SCIP hybrid provider and measure it at the real MCP consumer boundary. The existing Python/Rust +25.3%/+29.2% data compares full decode/build with FactQueryIndex construction; it does not compare the current runtime baseline of loading graph.pkl. This issue decides whether either language is eligible for production routing.

feat(mcp): route real C++ symbol queries through the hybrid provider

Parent: #545

Problem

The native clangd path is currently reachable through explicit decoder/indexer APIs, but normal graph builds remain unchanged and no production consumer calls LSIndexer.process_query_provider(). MCP LSP tools read ctx.symbol_graph and instantiate StaticLSPProvider(graph) directly, so the measured acceleration is not observed by normal MCP sessions.

Scope

Add an optional LSP provider to the runtime/server context without making it a serialized mutable artifa

perf(scip): bind consumer-safe FactQueryIndex receipts

Problem

Python and Rust FactQueryIndex v1 cleared the raw query-ready gate, but no production consumer calls it. Wiring the current SCIPDecoderCore.decode_query_index() directly into MCP would be incorrect:

importing scip_decode_core imports CodeGraph and Python igraph before any query;
compiler target_dir / exclude_patterns filtering happens after full graph decode and is not reflected in the native index;
the current snapshot does not bind every source/filter input neede

feat(mcp): add a bounded explore tool surface and session ledger

Problem

The MCP server exposes low-level search and LSP tools but lacks an opt-in exploration surface that can project repeated context into stable references and report bounded session usage.

Scope

Add an explicit tool-surface selector without changing the default MCP surface.
Add an explore tool that composes existing retrieval/provider capabilities.
Track repeated returned ranges in a bounded in-memory session ledger and replace repeats with deterministic pointers.
Add CLI/se

feat(integrations): add the RepoNavigator jump contract adapter

Problem

RepoNavigator publishes a single jump(file_path, symbol, index?) application contract, but CodeNib has no isolated adapter that can reuse its existing persisted SCIP occurrence or injected LSP definition signals.

Scope

Add a dependency-light repository provider for the published jump input/output contract.
Prefer persisted semantic occurrences or an injected definition provider and disclose graph-only fallback as degraded.
Preserve the returned definition path for chai

fix(mcp): enable query-seeded LSP routes

Problem

The shared graph-backed lsp_route implementation and agent skill support query-seeded fallback when no reliable symbol is known: callers pass symbols=[] plus the original request, and the static graph ranks matching endpoint/bridge/provider/type anchors.

The MCP wrapper silently disables that path:

seeds = _coerce_symbols(symbols)
if not seeds:
    return []

As a result, an external MCP coding agent must already know an indexed symbol before it can use CodeNib's
