MorphArch scans monorepo Git history, builds per-commit dependency graphs using
tree-sitter AST parsing, calculates architectural health scores, and renders the
results as an animated force-directed graph in your terminal.

It supports Nx, Turborepo, pnpm workspaces, and Cargo workspaces out of the
box, with language-level import extraction for Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and Go.

## Features

- **Git history scanning** -- walk commit history with gix, extract file trees,
  and detect workspace configurations automatically.
- **Tree-sitter AST parsing** -- extract real import/dependency edges from
  source files in Rust, TypeScript (inc. JSX/TSX), JavaScript, Python, and Go.
- **Absolute Health scoring** -- quantify architectural integrity on a 0--100
  scale using cycle detection (Kosaraju SCC), boundary violation analysis, and
  context-aware coupling density metrics.
- **Animated TUI** -- Verlet physics force-directed graph layout rendered with
  ratatui and crossterm, featuring a timeline slider, k9s-inspired insight
  dashboard, and Catppuccin Mocha color theme.
- **Incremental scanning** -- subtree-cached tree walks (`O(changed_dirs)`)
  and an LRU blob import cache (50K entries) deliver 5--20x speedups on
  subsequent runs.
- **Parallel parsing** -- rayon-powered data-parallel import extraction across
  all workspace packages.
- **Mouse interaction** -- click and drag graph nodes to rearrange the layout
  in real time.
- **Search filtering** -- press `/` in the TUI to filter nodes by name.
- **SQLite persistence** -- all scan data is stored in
  `~/.morpharch/morpharch.db` for instant replay and historical analysis.
- **Cross-platform** -- runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

## Installation

### From crates.io

```bash
cargo install morpharch
```

### From source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/onplt/morpharch.git
cd morpharch
cargo build --release
# Binary is at target/release/morpharch
```

---

## Quick Start

```bash
# Scan a monorepo and build the database
morpharch scan /path/to/monorepo

# Scan and launch the animated TUI
morpharch watch /path/to/monorepo

# Analyze architecture for the current HEAD commit
morpharch analyze

# View the health trend over recent commits
morpharch list-drift
```

---

## Usage

### `morpharch scan <path>`

Scan a Git repository: walk commit history, build per-commit dependency graphs,
calculate health scores, and persist everything to the SQLite database.

```bash
# Scan the current directory (all commits)
morpharch scan .

# Scan a specific repo, limit to last 100 commits
morpharch scan /path/to/repo -n 100
```

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `-n, --max-commits <N>` | Maximum commits to scan. `0` (default) means unlimited. |

### `morpharch watch <path>`

Perform a scan and then launch the animated TUI. The TUI displays a
force-directed graph of the dependency structure, a timeline slider for
navigating commit history, and a mission-control style dashboard with
real-time architectural insights.

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `-n, --max-commits <N>` | Maximum commits to scan. `0` (default) means unlimited. |
| `-s, --max-snapshots <N>` | Maximum graph snapshots loaded into the TUI timeline. Default: `200`. |

### `morpharch analyze [commit]`

Display a detailed architectural report for a specific commit, including
health sub-metrics, boundary violations, circular dependencies, and AI-driven
improvement recommendations.

## TUI Keyboard Shortcuts

| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `j` / `Down` | Navigate to the next (older) commit |
| `k` / `Up` | Navigate to the previous (newer) commit |
| `p` / `Space` | Play / pause auto-play through the timeline |
| `r` | Reheat the graph (re-energize Verlet temperature) |
| `/` | Enter search mode to filter nodes by name |
| `Esc` | Exit search mode, or quit the TUI |
| `q` | Quit the TUI |

## Architecture Health

MorphArch assigns each commit a health score between 0 and 100. Higher scores
indicate cleaner, more maintainable architecture.

| Health | Status | Description |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| 90--100 | Clean | Excellent structural integrity. |
| 70--89 | Healthy | Minor coupling debt, but no fatal flaws. |
| 40--69 | Warning | Significant debt (cycles or violations) detected. |
| 0--39 | Critical | High structural risk; refactoring required. |

The score is calculated by subtracting "Architectural Debt" from a base of 100:

- **Cyclic dependencies** (**-25 pts**) -- circular paths between packages that
  break modularity, detected via SCC analysis.
- **Boundary violations** (**-15 pts**) -- dependencies that violate layer
  constraints (e.g., shared libs depending on application code).
- **Coupling density** (**-5 pts per unit > 3.5**) -- penalizes excessive
  inter-package connections beyond a healthy threshold. Large projects like
  Deno are given grace for necessary complexity.
