# Magellan

A deterministic codebase mapping tool. Watches source files, extracts AST-level facts, and builds a searchable graph database of symbols and references.

## What Magellan Does

- Watches directories for file changes (Create/Modify/Delete)
- Extracts AST-level facts: functions, classes, methods, enums, modules
- Tracks symbol references: function calls and type references (7 languages)
- Builds call graphs: caller → callee relationships across indexed files (7 languages)
- Stores AST nodes for hierarchical code structure analysis (v1.9.0)
- Graph algorithms: reachability, dead code detection, cycles, paths, slicing (v2.0.0)
- Stores code chunks for token-efficient LLM context (v1.8.0)
- Computes metrics: fan-in, fan-out, LOC, complexity per file/symbol (v1.8.0)
- Safely extracts UTF-8 content from byte offsets without panicking on multi-byte characters (v1.8.0)
- Persists everything to a sqlitegraph database
- Handles errors gracefully - keeps running even when files are unreadable
- Shuts down cleanly on SIGINT/SIGTERM

## What Magellan Does NOT Do

- No semantic analysis or type checking
- No LSP server or language features
- No async runtimes or background thread pools
- No config files
- No web APIs or network services
- No automatic database cleanup

## Installation

```bash
cargo install magellan
```

Or build from source:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/oldnordic/magellan
cd magellan
cargo build --release

# Binary will be at target/release/magellan
```

### Requirements

- Rust 1.70+
- Linux/macOS (signal handling uses Unix signals)
- SQLite 3 (via sqlitegraph dependency)

### Features

- **Help**: Use `--help` or `-h` with any command to see usage information
- **Native-v2 Backend**: Build with `--features native-v2` for improved performance

### Quick Start

```bash
# Start watching a project with initial scan
magellan watch --root /path/to/project --db ~/.cache/magellan/project.db --scan-initial

# Check status
magellan status --db /path/to/magellan.db

# List all indexed files
magellan files --db /path/to/magellan.db

# Query symbols in a file (or run --explain for selector help)
magellan query --db /path/to/magellan.db --file /path/to/file.rs
# Print the selector cheat sheet
magellan query --db /path/to/magellan.db --explain
# Show the byte/line span for a specific symbol
magellan query --db /path/to/magellan.db --file src/lib.rs --symbol main --show-extent

# Find a symbol by name (v1.5: use --symbol-id for precise lookup)
magellan find --db /path/to/magellan.db --name main
magellan find --db /path/to/magellan.db --symbol-id <SYMBOL_ID>
# Show all candidates for an ambiguous name
magellan find --db /path/to/magellan.db --ambiguous main
# List all symbols that match a glob pattern
magellan find --db /path/to/magellan.db --list-glob "handler_*"

# Show call references
magellan refs --db /path/to/magellan.db --name main --path /path/to/file.rs --direction out

# Query by labels
magellan label --db /path/to/magellan.db --list
magellan label --db /path/to/magellan.db --label rust --label fn
magellan label --db /path/to/magellan.db --label struct --show-code

# Get code chunks without re-reading files
magellan get --db /path/to/magellan.db --file /path/to/file.rs --symbol main
magellan get-file --db /path/to/magellan.db --file /path/to/file.rs

# List and query chunks (v1.8.0)
magellan chunks --db /path/to/magellan.db --limit 50 --kind fn
magellan chunk-by-symbol --db /path/to/magellan.db --symbol main
magellan chunk-by-span --db /path/to/magellan.db --file src/main.rs --start 100 --end 200

# List ambiguous symbols (v1.5)
magellan collisions --db /path/to/magellan.db

# Export to various formats (v1.5: jsonl, csv, scip, dot)
magellan export --db /path/to/magellan.db > codegraph.json
magellan export --db /path/to/magellan.db --format jsonl > codegraph.jsonl
magellan export --db /path/to/magellan.db --format scip --output codegraph.scip
magellan export --db /path/to/magellan.db --format dot | dot -Tpng -o graph.png

# Migrate database to latest schema (v1.5)
magellan migrate --db /path/to/magellan.db
```

## Commands

### watch

```bash
magellan watch --root <DIR> --db <FILE> [--debounce-ms <N>] [--scan-initial]
```

Watch a directory for source file changes and index them into the database.

| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `--root <DIR>` | Directory to watch recursively (required) |
| `--db <FILE>` | Path to sqlitegraph database (required) |
| `--debounce-ms <N>` | Debounce delay in milliseconds (default: 500) |
| `--scan-initial` | Scan directory for source files on startup |

### status

```bash
magellan status --db <FILE>
```

Show database statistics.

```
$ magellan status --db ./magellan.db
files: 30
symbols: 349
references: 262
```

### files

```bash
magellan files --db <FILE>
```

List all indexed files.

```
$ magellan files --db ./magellan.db
30 indexed files:
  /path/to/src/main.rs
  /path/to/src/lib.rs
  ...
```

### query

```bash
magellan query --db <FILE> --file <PATH> [--kind <KIND>] [--symbol <NAME>] [--show-extent]
magellan query --db <FILE> --explain
```

List symbols in a file, optionally filtered by kind or symbol name. `--symbol <NAME>` narrows
output to a specific identifier, and `--show-extent` prints byte/line spans plus node IDs when
used with `--symbol`. `--explain` prints a selector cheat sheet covering available filters and
their syntax. Each result line shows both the human-friendly kind and a normalized tag in square
brackets (e.g., `[fn]`, `[struct]`) so automation can ingest the output deterministically.

| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `--db <FILE>` | Path to database (required) |
| `--file <PATH>` | File path to query (required) |
| `--kind <KIND>` | Filter by symbol kind (optional) |
| `--symbol <NAME>` | Limit results to a specific symbol (optional) |
| `--show-extent` | Print byte + line ranges for the selected symbol (requires `--symbol`) |
| `--explain` | Show selector documentation instead of querying |

Valid kinds: Function, Method, Class, Interface, Enum, Module, Union, Namespace, TypeAlias

```
$ magellan query --db ./magellan.db --file src/main.rs --kind Function
/path/to/src/main.rs:
  Line   13: Function     print_usage
  Line   64: Function     parse_args
```

### find

```bash
magellan find --db <FILE> --name <NAME> [--path <PATH>] [--symbol-id <ID>] [--ambiguous <NAME>] [--first]
magellan find --db <FILE> --list-glob "<PATTERN>"
```

Find a symbol by name or preview all symbols that match a glob expression. Glob listings include
node IDs for deterministic scripting (e.g., feeding results to refactoring tooling).

| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `--db <FILE>` | Path to database (required) |
| `--name <NAME>` | Symbol name to find |
| `--symbol-id <ID>` | Stable SymbolId for precise lookup (v1.5) |
| `--ambiguous <NAME>` | Show all candidates for an ambiguous name (v1.5) |
| `--path <PATH>` | Limit search to specific file (optional) |
| `--list-glob <PATTERN>` | List all symbol names that match the glob (mutually exclusive with `--name`) |
| `--first` | Use first match when ambiguous (deprecated; use --symbol-id) |

```
$ magellan find --db ./magellan.db --name main
Found "main":
  File:     /path/to/src/main.rs
  Kind:     Function
  Location: Line 229, Column 0

$ magellan find --db ./magellan.db --ambiguous main
Ambiguous name "main" has 3 candidates:
  [1] a1b2c3d4e5f67890123456789012ab - src/bin/main.rs::Function main
  [2] b2c3d4e5f678901234567890123cd - src/lib.rs::Function main
  [3] c3d4e5f6789012345678901234de - tests/integration_test.rs::Function main
```

### refs

```bash
magellan refs --db <FILE> --name <NAME> --path <PATH> [--direction <in|out>]
```

Show incoming or outgoing calls for a symbol. Incoming calls include callers from
other indexed files when the target symbol name is unique in the database.

| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `--db <FILE>` | Path to database (required) |
| `--name <NAME>` | Symbol name (required) |
| `--path <PATH>` | File path containing the symbol (required) |
| `--direction <in|out>` | Show incoming (in) or outgoing (out) calls (default: in) |

```
$ magellan refs --db ./magellan.db --name parse_args --path src/main.rs --direction in
Calls TO "parse_args":
  From: main (Function) at /path/to/src/main.rs:237
```

### verify

```bash
magellan verify --root <DIR> --db <FILE>
```

Compare database state vs filesystem and report differences.

Exit codes: 0 = up to date, 1 = issues found

### export

```bash
magellan export --db <FILE> [--format json|jsonl|csv|scip|dot] [--output <PATH>] [--minify] [--include-collisions]
```

Export all graph data to various formats.

| Argument | Description |

| `--no-symbols` | Exclude symbols from export |
| `--no-references` | Exclude references from export |
| `--no-calls` | Exclude calls from export |
| `--include-collisions` | Include collision groups (JSON only) |

**Export Versions:**

| Version | Changes |
|---------|---------|
| 2.0.0 | Added `symbol_id`, `canonical_fqn`, `display_fqn` fields to SymbolExport |

**Format-Specific Version Encoding:**

- **JSON**: Top-level `version` field
- **JSONL**: First line is `{"type":"Version","version":"2.0.0"}`
- **CSV**: Header comment `# Magellan Export Version: 2.0.0`

magellan export --db ./magellan.db --format jsonl > codegraph.jsonl

# CSV export
magellan export --db ./magellan.db --format csv > codegraph.csv

# SCIP export (binary, requires --output)
magellan export --db ./magellan.db --format scip --output codegraph.scip

# DOT graph format (pipe to graphviz)
magellan export --db ./magellan.db --format dot | dot -Tpng -o graph.png

# Include collision information in JSON
magellan export --db ./magellan.db --include-collisions > codegraph.json
```

### collisions

```bash
magellan collisions --db <FILE> [--field <FIELD>] [--limit <N>]
```

List ambiguous symbols that share the same FQN or display FQN (v1.5).

| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `--db <FILE>` | Path to database (required) |
| `--field <FIELD>` | Field to check: fqn, display_fqn, canonical_fqn (default: display_fqn) |
| `--limit <N>` | Maximum groups to show (default: 50) |

```
$ magellan collisions --db ./magellan.db
Collisions by display_fqn:

main (3)
  [1] a1b2c3d4e5f67890123456789012ab src/bin/main.rs
       my_crate::src/bin/main.rs::Function main
  [2] b2c3d4e5f678901234567890123cd src/lib.rs
       my_crate::src/lib.rs::Function main
  [3] c3d4e5f6789012345678901234de tests/integration_test.rs
       my_crate::tests/integration_test.rs::Function main
```

### migrate

```bash
magellan migrate --db <FILE> [--dry-run] [--no-backup]
```

Upgrade a Magellan database to the current schema version (v1.5).

| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `--db <FILE>` | Path to database (required) |
| `--dry-run` | Check version without migrating |
| `--no-backup` | Skip backup creation (not recommended) |

**Migration Behavior:**

- Creates timestamped backup before migration (`<db>.v<timestamp>.bak`)
- Uses SQLite transaction for atomicity (rollback on error)
- Shows old version and new version before running
- No-op if database already at current version

**Schema Version 4 (v1.5 BLAKE3 SymbolId):**

Version 4 introduces BLAKE3-based SymbolId and canonical_fqn/display_fqn fields:
- New symbols get 32-character BLAKE3 hash IDs (128 bits)
- Existing symbols have `symbol_id: null` in exports
- To get BLAKE3 IDs for all symbols, re-index after migration

### Security

#### Database File Placement

Magellan's database (`--db <FILE>`) stores all indexed code information.

**Recommended:** Place `.db` files outside watched directories.

Placing the database inside a watched directory can cause:
- The watcher to process the database as if it's a source file
- Export operations to include binary database content
- Circular file system events

**Examples:**

```bash
# Recommended: database outside watched directory
magellan watch --root /path/to/project --db ~/.cache/magellan/project.db --scan-initial

# Discouraged: database inside watched directory
magellan watch --root . --db ./magellan.db --scan-initial
```

#### Recommended Database Locations

- **Linux/macOS:** `~/.cache/magellan/` or `~/.local/share/magellan/`
- **Windows:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\magellan\`
- **CI/CD:** Use a cache directory outside the workspace

#### Path Traversal Protection

Magellan validates all file paths to prevent directory traversal attacks:
- Paths with `../` patterns are validated before access
- Symlinks pointing outside the project root are rejected
- Absolute paths outside the watched directory are blocked

These protections are implemented in `src/validation.rs` and applied during:
- Watcher event processing
- Directory scanning
- File indexing operations

### label

```bash
magellan label --db <FILE> [--label <LABEL>]... [--list] [--count] [--show-code]
```

## Testing

```bash
cargo test
```

Test coverage:
- Path validation tests: 24 tests for traversal protection, symlink handling, cross-platform paths
- Orphan detection tests: 12 tests verifying clean state after delete operations
- SCIP export tests: 7 round-trip tests verifying parseable protobuf output
- Call graph tests: 5 tests for cross-file method call resolution
- Symbol extraction tests: per-language tests for Rust, Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C, C++
- Graph operations tests: insert, delete, query operations across all node types

Tests pass on Linux (primary development platform). Other platforms not regularly tested.

### Thread Safety Testing (v1.7)

Magellan uses thread-safe synchronization for concurrent access to shared state. The v1.7 migration from `RefCell<T>` to `Arc<Mutex<T>>` ensures data races are eliminated.

**TSAN Test Suite:**

```bash
# Run TSAN thread safety tests
cargo test --test tsan_thread_safety_tests
```

**What TSAN Detects:**
- Data races from unsynchronized concurrent access
- Missing mutexes around shared mutable state
- Lock ordering violations that can cause deadlocks

**Modules Tested:**
- `FileSystemWatcher` - Concurrent batch access, legacy pending state
- `PipelineSharedState` - Dirty path insertion, lock ordering

**Current Status:**

The TSAN test suite is created and all tests pass. However, running with actual ThreadSanitizer instrumentation (`-Zsanitizer=thread`) is currently blocked by Rust toolchain limitations (ABI mismatch errors in dependencies). See `TEST-01-TSAN-RESULTS.md` for details.

**Manual Verification:**

All concurrent state uses `Arc<Mutex<T>>`:
- `FileSystemWatcher::legacy_pending_batch: Arc<Mutex<Option<WatcherBatch>>>`
- `FileSystemWatcher::legacy_pending_index: Arc<Mutex<usize>>`
- `PipelineSharedState::dirty_paths: Arc<Mutex<BTreeSet<PathBuf>>`

Lock ordering is enforced to prevent deadlocks:
1. Acquire `dirty_paths` lock first
2. Send wakeup signal while holding lock
3. Release lock

## Known Limitations

- **FQN collisions addressed in v1.5**: Symbols with identical names in different files or modules may share the same display FQN. The `collisions` command (v1.5) identifies these cases, and `--symbol-id` provides stable BLAKE3-based identifiers for unambiguous symbol reference. Common in: `main` functions across binaries, test functions, and methods with generic names (`new`, `default`, etc.) in impl blocks.
- **No semantic analysis**: AST-level only; no type checking or cross-module resolution
- **No incremental parsing**: File changes trigger full re-parse of that file
- **Cross-crate resolution**: Rust symbols across crates are resolved by name only
- **Testing**: Primary development and testing on Linux; Windows and macOS not regularly tested in CI
