# CLAUDE.md

## Project Overview

`llm-kernel` is a Rust foundation library for AI-native applications. It provides a provider catalog, async LLM client, MCP server framework, knowledge graph, search, telemetry, and safety utilities — all behind feature gates with zero mandatory external deps beyond `serde`.

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `cargo test --all-features` | Run all 224 tests |
| `cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings` | Lint |
| `cargo fmt --all -- --check` | Format check |
| `cargo bench` | Run criterion benchmarks |
| `cargo doc --all-features --no-deps` | Build docs |

## Architecture

Hexagonal architecture with 16 feature-gated modules under `src/`:

```
src/
  lib.rs, error.rs, prelude.rs     — crate root
  provider/    — catalog.json, capability profiles  (feature: provider)
  llm/         — async client, SSE streaming, JSON extraction  (feature: client-async)
  discovery/   — models.dev, Ollama, OpenAI-compat  (feature: discovery)
  secrets/     — dotenv vault, atomic writes  (feature: secrets)
  store/       — SQLite init helpers  (feature: store)
  config/      — TOML loader  (feature: config)
  graph/       — knowledge graph with FTS5, smart recall, BFS  (features: graph, graph-async)
  mcp/         — JSON-RPC 2.0 server, stdio transport  (feature: mcp)
  tokens/      — Unicode heuristic token estimation  (feature: tokens)
  install/     — AI tool config wizard  (feature: install)
  search/      — RRF fusion  (feature: search)
  embedding/   — provider trait + OpenAI client  (features: embedding, embedding-openai)
  telemetry/   — enum-gated events  (feature: telemetry)
  safety/      — secret masking, error classification  (feature: safety)
```

## Key Conventions

- Domain types have **zero external dependencies** — `provider`, `tokens`, `embedding` (base) are no-dep
- Every module has inline `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` — no separate test files except `tests/feature_gates.rs`
- SQLite graph tests use `mem_db()` helper pattern (in-memory + `init_graph_schema`)
- Errors: `KernelError` enum via thiserror, `Result<T>` alias
- Feature gate: `default = ["provider"]`, `full` enables everything
- Edition 2024, MSRV 1.92

## Benchmarks

Two benchmark suites under `benches/`:
- `graph_bench.rs` — smart_recall, BFS traversal, neighbor lookup
- `compute_bench.rs` — token estimation, RRF fusion

## Version Bump Checklist

| Step | Action |
|------|--------|
| 1. Update version | Edit `Cargo.toml` version |
| 2. Update CHANGELOG | Add entry with date |
| 3. Verify | `cargo test --all-features && cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings` |
| 4. Commit | `git commit -m "chore: bump v{version}"` |
| 5. Tag | `git tag v{version}` |
| 6. Push | `git push && git push --tags` |
