      • Fuzzing build stub: ./setup.sh Fuzzing reserved for future AFL++/libFuzzer integration
      • See docs/developer/profiling.md for comprehensive profiling guide
  • EmbeddingService Architecture
    • Problem: PostIngestQueue workers were blocking on slow embedding generation, causing:
      • Documents not searchable until embeddings complete
      • Add commands hanging/timing out
      • Ingest pipeline stalled waiting for embedding models
    • Solution: Separated embedding generation into dedicated EmbeddingService that consumes from InternalBus
      • PostIngestQueue now 2-stage pipeline (Metadata + KnowledgeGraph) - embeddings removed
      • Documents searchable immediately after FTS5 indexing (~milliseconds)
      • Embeddings generated asynchronously in background by EmbeddingService workers
      • Better resource isolation: ingest and embedding workers independently tunable
      • No more blocking: add commands return immediately, documents queryable right away

      • Caches: package-python-cache (pycache/), package-maven-repo, package-gradle-cache, package-go-cache, package-gem-cache, package-nuget-cache
      • Composite groups: package-deps, package-cache, packages (all), ide-all
      • Path-based detection for directories: node_modules/, pycache/, .vscode/, target/, vendor/, etc.
    • Dry-run by default with --apply flag for execution
    • Usage: yams doctor prune --category build-artifacts --older-than 30d --apply
    • Usage: yams doctor prune --category packages --apply (clean all package artifacts)

    • Critical Bug Fix: Fixed query execution early-return bug that caused pattern short-circuiting - now executes all patterns resulting in 2.2x recall improvement (20.6% → 45.1%)
    • Benchmark Infrastructure: Catch2-based benchmark suite with quality metrics (Recall/Precision/F1), performance metrics (Throughput/Latency), and JSON output for CI integration
    • GTest Suite: 7 Solidity tests covering ERC20 tokens, inheritance, interfaces, events, and modifiers (372 lines, all passing)
    • Plugin auto-downloads tree-sitter grammars on first use (configurable via plugins.symbol_extraction.auto_download_grammars)

    • Hybrid Search Symbol Integration: Symbol metadata now actively boosts search ranking
      • Added symbol_weight configuration field (default: 0.15 = 15% multiplicative boost)
      • HybridSearchEngine::setSymbolEnricher() method wires SymbolEnricher into search pipeline
      • Symbol matches receive score boost when isSymbolQuery && symbolScore > 0.3

Fixed

  • Grep Command Duplicate Output: Fixed yams grep printing results twice when stderr is redirected
  • Migration System Crash (macOS): Fixed SIGSEGV crash in MigrationManager::recordMigration() during daemon startup
    • Root Cause: ServiceManager::co_migrateDatabase() called mm.initialize() but ignored its return value. If initialization failed to create the migration_history table, migrations would continue and crash when attempting to INSERT into the non-existent table.
    • Fix: Added error checking for mm.initialize() with early return and proper error logging in ServiceManager.cpp
  • Embedding System Architecture Simplification: Simplified FSM readiness logic to check provider availability directly instead of waiting for model load events
    • IModelProvider checks isAvailable() immediately after plugin adoption
    • Eliminates unnecessary ModelLoading state transition
    • Fixes "Embedding Ready: Waiting" status showing incorrectly when embeddings were actually available
    • Model dimension retrieved via getEmbeddingDim() at adoption time
  • Database Schema Recovery: Manual creation of missing kg_doc_entities table from migration 7
    • Table includes 8 columns with foreign keys to documents and kg_nodes
    • Created indexes: idx_kg_doc_entities_document, idx_kg_doc_entities_node
    • Fixes search query errors: "no such table: kg_doc_entities"
  • Worker Thread Premature Exit: Fixed io_context workers exiting immediately on startup by adding executor_work_guard to keep the context alive until explicit shutdown.
  • SocketServer Backpressure: Manual backpressure polling with std::counting_semaphore, eliminating 5-20ms delay loops and providing natural bounded concurrency.
  • Embedding Consumer Deadlock: Fixed race condition causing embedding job consumer to stall
    • Added defensive retry mechanism with exponential backoff for queue state recovery
    • Impact: Embedding background processing now reliable under high load
  • FSM Cleanup & Degradation Tracking: Standardized FSM usage across ServiceManager
    • Added DaemonLifecycleFsm reference to ServiceManager for centralized subsystem degradation tracking
  • ServiceManager FSM Architecture: Centralized state management and eliminated duplication
    • Added DaemonLifecycleFsm& lifecycleFsm_ reference to ServiceManager for daemon-level degradation tracking
    • Removed scattered manual FSM state checks in favor of FSM query methods (isReady(), isLoadingOrReady())
  • Text Extraction for Source Code: Fixed critical issue where JavaScript/TypeScript/Solidity/config files failed FTS5 extraction
    • src/extraction/extraction_util.cpp: Replaced hardcoded is_text_like() with FileTypeDetector::isTextMimeType() which uses comprehensive magic_numbers.hpp database; added extension normalization (handles both .js and js formats)
    • src/extraction/plain_text_extractor.cpp:
      • Removed hardcoded 50+ extension list, delegating to FileTypeDetector for dynamic detection
      • Enhanced isBinaryFile() with UTF-8 BOM support and reduced false positives
      • Added isParseableText() with proper UTF-8 validation (validates multi-byte sequences, continuation bytes)
      • Baseline registration now includes common config/markup extensions (.toml, .ini, .yml, .md, .rst)
    • src/app/services/search_service.cpp: Updated lightweight indexing to use FileTypeDetector::isTextMimeType()

Changed

  • Embedding Provider Lifecycle: Transitioned from event-driven model loading to direct availability checking
    • Provider adoption now immediately dispatches ModelLoadedEvent if isAvailable() returns true
    • Simplified from 4-state FSM (Unavailable → ProviderAdopted → ModelLoading → ModelReady) to immediate ready transition
    • Aligns FSM with IModelProvider on-demand model loading architecture

Removed

  • Fuzzy Index Memory Optimization: Enhanced BK-tree index building with intelligent document prioritization

    • Uses metadata and Knowledge Graph to rank documents by relevance (tagged > KG-connected > recent > code files)
    • Limits index to 50,000 documents by default (configurable via YAMS_FUZZY_INDEX_LIMIT environment variable)
    • Graceful degradation with std::bad_alloc handling prevents daemon crashes on large repositories
    • Known Limitation: Fuzzy search on very large repositories (>100k documents) may experience memory pressure. Consider using metadata/KG filters or grep with exact patterns for better performance

  • ONNX Plugin Model Path Resolution: Enhanced model path search to support XDG Base Directory specification

  • Platform-Aware Plugin Installation: Build system now auto-detects Homebrew prefix on macOS

    • /opt/homebrew on Apple Silicon, /usr/local on Intel Macs and Linux
    • System plugin directory automatically trusted by daemon at runtime
    • Override via YAMS_INSTALL_PREFIX environment variable

  • Model loading timeouts hardened: adapter and ONNX plugin now use std::async with bounded wait; removed detached threads causing UAF/segfaults (AsioConnectionPool guarded)

  • Vector DB dim resolution no longer hardcodes 384; resolves from DB/config/env/provider preferred model, else warns and defers embeddings

  • ONNX plugin: removed implicit 384 defaults, derives embeddingDim dynamically from model/config; added env override YAMS_ONNX_PRECREATE_RESOURCES

  • Improved load diagnostics: detailed logs for ABI table pointers, phases, and timeout causes

  • Search Service Path Heuristic: Tightened path-first detection to only trigger for single-token or quoted path-like queries (slashes, wildcards, or extensions). Multi-word queries now proceed to hybrid/metadata search, restoring results for phrases such as "docs/delivery backlog prd tasks PBI" while preserving fast path lookups for actual paths.

  • Daemon stop reliability: yams daemon stop now only reports success after the process actually exits and will fall back to PID-based termination (and orphan cleanup) when the socket path is unresponsive.

  • Prompt termination on signals: the daemon now handles SIGTERM/SIGINT to exit promptly when graceful shutdown isn't possible, addressing lingering yams-daemon processes after stop.

  • Hybrid Search Simplification: Removed complexity and environment variable overrides

    • Removed 6 environment variables: YAMS_DISABLE_KEYWORD, YAMS_DISABLE_ONNX, YAMS_DISABLE_KG, YAMS_ADAPTIVE_TUNING, YAMS_FUSION_WEIGHTS, YAMS_OVERRELIANCE_PENALTY
    • Kept YAMS_DISABLE_VECTOR for CI compatibility
    • Removed adaptive weight tuning logic (~30 LOC)
    • Removed over-reliance penalty mechanism
    • Keyword search now always executes (controlled by config.keyword_weight)
    • Fixed fusion weights for LEARNED_FUSION strategy: {-2.0f, 3.0f, 2.0f, 1.5f, 1.0f}

Removed

  • Removed WASM, and legacy plugin system from codebase and ServiceManager

[v0.7.6] - 10-13-2025

Added

  • CLI Pattern Ergonomics: Added --pattern/-p flag to list command as an alias for --name, improving consistency with other commands. The flag supports glob wildcards (*, ?, **) and auto-normalizes relative paths to absolute when no wildcards are present. (src/cli/commands/list_command.cpp)
  • Grep Literal Text Hints: Added smart error detection and helpful hints when grep patterns contain regex special characters. When a pattern fails regex compilation or returns no results, grep now suggests using the -F flag with the exact command to run. Added -Q as a short alias for -F/--fixed-strings/--literal-text to match git grep convention. (src/cli/commands/grep_command.cpp)
  • Search Literal Text Aliases: Added -F/-Q/--fixed-strings aliases to search command for consistency with grep. These short flags make it easier to search for literal text containing special characters like ()[]{}.*+?. Updated help text with concrete examples. (src/cli/commands/search_command.cpp)
  • Grep: enabling [search.path_tree] now lets explicit path filters reuse the metadata-backed path-tree engine, and tag-only invocations default the pattern to .*, removing the need for placeholder expressions. citesrc/app/services/grep_service.cpp:240src/cli/commands/grep_command.cpp:305
  • Tree-based List with Filters: Extended tree-based path queries to support tag, MIME type, and extension filtering. The list command now uses the tree index even when filters are applied, improving performance for pattern+filter queries (e.g., yams list --name "docs/**" --tags "test").
  • Benchmark: Tree List Filters: New benchmark suite (tree_list_filter_bench) measures query performance with various filter combinations. Results show 100-160μs query times with up to 10k queries/sec throughput. Filter queries often outperform path-only queries due to reduced result set sizes.
  • Grep SQL-Level Pattern Filtering: Added queryDocumentsByGlobPatterns() function that converts glob patterns (e.g., tests/**/*.cpp) to SQL LIKE patterns and queries the database directly, eliminating the need to load all documents into memory before filtering. Grep performance with --include patterns improved dramatically on large repositories.
  • Search Multi-Pattern Support: Added pathPatterns vector field to SearchRequest IPC protocol (field 34) enabling server-side filtering of multiple include patterns. Search command now sends all patterns to daemon instead of filtering results client-side, eliminating timeouts and OOM errors in sandboxed environments.
  • MCP Search Multi-Pattern Support: Added include_patterns array parameter to MCP search tool, enabling clients to specify multiple path patterns with OR logic. The MCP server now populates pathPatterns in daemon requests, matching CLI behavior. (include/yams/mcp/tool_registry.h, src/mcp/mcp_server.cpp)

Changed

  • MCP stdio transport: stdout buffering now adapts to interactive vs non-interactive streams, stderr is forced unbuffered, and JSON-RPC batch arrays over stdio are parsed in-line to match the Model Context Protocol 2025-03-26 transport requirements. Additional unit coverage exercises batch handling and error budgets for framed headers.
  • MCP Server: cat and get tools now resolve relative paths using weakly_canonical, improving document lookup for non-absolute paths.
  • Path Canonicalization: Document paths are now canonicalized using weakly_canonical() at ingestion time to ensure consistent path matching across symlinked directories (e.g., /var → /private/var on macOS). This fixes pattern-based queries that previously failed due to path mismatch between indexed and query paths. (src/metadata/path_utils.cpp)
  • Integration Test Stability: Improved TreeBasedListE2E test reliability by replacing fixed sleep with polling-based wait for document indexing completion. Test pass rate improved from ~60% to 100%.
  • Grep Performance: Grep service now uses SQL-level pattern filtering when --include patterns are provided, fetching only matching documents from the database instead of loading all documents and filtering in memory. Converts glob patterns to SQL LIKE patterns (e.g., *.cpp → %.cpp, tests/**/*.h → tests/%.h). This eliminates hangs on large repositories (10K+ documents).
  • Search Service: Updated to handle multiple path patterns via pathPatterns vector field, iterating through all patterns with OR logic for server-side filtering. Removed client-side filtering that previously caused timeouts with multiple --include patterns.
  • Build System: Fixed VS Code task definitions with correct Conan 2.x output paths. Meson native file paths updated from builddir/conan_meson_native.ini to builddir/build-debug/conan/conan_meson_native.ini and build/release/build-release/conan/conan_meson_native.ini to match actual Conan 2 directory structure. (.vscode/tasks.json)

Fixed

  • MCP Search/Grep Hang: Fixed MCP server's search and grep tools hanging indefinitely by ensuring all async components use the same io_context. The root cause was a multi-layered async execution mismatch: (1) The DaemonClient's config didn't specify an executor, causing it to create its own internal io_context. (2) callTool() was spawning work on GlobalIOContext and blocking a worker thread waiting for results. (3) The two separate io_contexts couldn't communicate, causing deadlock. Fixed by: (a) Configuring daemon_client to use GlobalIOContext executor in MCPServer constructor. (b) Removing the nested local io_context from callTool() - now correctly spawns on GlobalIOContext (which has background worker threads) and waits for results. (c) Removing nested io_context from handleSearchDocuments() to use co_await directly. (src/mcp/mcp_server.cpp:403,2029-2039,2225-2226)
  • Document Service: Improved resolveNameToHash to correctly handle filename-only lookups by searching for paths ending with the given name, ensuring that commands like cat with a simple filename succeed.
  • Tree Query Pattern Matching: Fixed wildcard pattern parsing to correctly handle recursive patterns (/**) by stripping all trailing wildcards iteratively instead of checking for a single wildcard character. (src/app/services/document_service.cpp)
  • Grep Hang: Fixed grep command hanging indefinitely when using --include patterns on large repositories. The service was fetching all documents before filtering; now uses SQL-level pattern matching to fetch only relevant documents.
  • Search Timeout: Fixed search command timeouts/OOM when using multiple --include patterns. Previously only the first pattern was sent to daemon with remaining patterns filtered client-side after retrieving ALL results. Now all patterns are sent to daemon for server-side filtering.
  • Search Pattern Matching: Fixed glob pattern normalization to correctly match filename patterns like *.md and *.cpp anywhere in the path tree. Patterns starting with a single * (e.g., *.ext) are now automatically prefixed with **/ to match paths at any depth. This ensures patterns like --include="*.md,*.cpp" correctly return all matching files regardless of their directory location.
  • Search Async Path: Fixed SearchCommand::executeAsync() not populating pathPatterns field in daemon request, causing server-side multi-pattern filtering to fail. The async code path (default execution) now correctly sends all include patterns to the daemon, matching the behavior of the sync path. (src/cli/commands/search_command.cpp:1360-1365)
  • Database Schema Compatibility: Fixed "constraint failed" errors during document insertion on databases with migration v12 (pre-path-indexing schema). The insertDocument() function now conditionally builds INSERT statements based on the hasPathIndexing_ flag, supporting both legacy (13-column) and modern (17-column with path indexing) schemas. This allows YAMS to work correctly regardless of whether migration v13 has been applied. (src/metadata/metadata_repository.cpp:318-380)
  • MCP Protocol Version Negotiation: Fixed "Unsupported protocol version requested by client" error (code -32901) by making protocol version negotiation permissive by default (strictProtocol_ = false). The server now gracefully accepts any protocol version requested by clients, falling back to the latest supported version (2025-03-26) if the requested version is not in the supported list. Also added intermediate MCP protocol versions (2024-12-05, 2025-01-15) to the supported list. This ensures maximum compatibility with MCP clients regardless of which spec version they implement. (src/mcp/mcp_server.cpp:560,1254-1260)
