What

Add a stable machine-facing indexing view (indexing-view.json) and semantic refresh classification to the runtime. The indexing view captures the semantic spine of a compiled snapshot — patterns, routes, anchors, lexicon — with a deterministic edition hash. On rebuild, the runtime classifies the change into one of six families (no_change, viewing_change, slot_explicitness_change, editioned_semantic_change, entity_addition, described_entity_retargeting) and runs five refresh sentinels.

Why

Closes #3. Hash-only refresh cannot distinguish a whitespace edit from a semantic rename. The indexing view enables diff-based refresh classification so operators/spec-authors know whether a rebuild was cosmetic or behaviorally significant. Classification is expert-only output (surfaced in BuildAudit, not in any public MCP tool).

Type

  • feat — new capability

Changes

  • src/runtime/indexing-view.ts (new, 331 lines): buildIndexingView(), classifyChange(), inferChangeFamily(), runRefreshSentinels(), field-by-field equality helpers (entryEqual, routeEqual, arraysEqual, relationEdgesEqual)
  • src/runtime/types.ts: Added types ChangeFamily, IndexingViewEntry, IndexingViewRoute, IndexingView, RefreshSentinel, RefreshClassification; extended BuildAudit with refreshClassification
  • src/runtime/runtime.ts: Loads previous indexing view (with fallback to snapshot-derived view for artifact upgrades), builds current view, classifies change, backfills on no-rebuild path
  • src/runtime/constants.ts: Added indexingView artifact filename
  • tests/indexing-view.test.ts (new): Unit tests for buildIndexingView and classifyChange

Key fixes addressed during review (46 comments total):

  • ChangeFamily type unification: All 6 values in a single TS union (no type/schema drift)
  • Field-by-field equality: Replaced JSON.stringify with entryEqual()/routeEqual() for determinism and performance
  • Standardized truncation: All sentinels use formatDetail() helper (cap 10 items + … (N more) suffix)
  • entity_addition accuracy: Gated on changedIds.length === 0 so mixed addition+change diffs are classified accurately (not masked as benign)
  • Migration fallback: Falls back to buildIndexingView(existingSnapshot) when indexing-view file is missing but compatible snapshot exists
  • Route burden + lexicon internals: Included firstHonestBurden in route constraints, normalizedKeys/linkedNodeIds in lexicon fingerprints
  • Deterministic edition hash: Sorted patterns, routes, lexicon fingerprints before JSON.stringify

Validation

  • bun run lint passes locally
  • bun run check passes locally
  • bun run test passes locally
  • No new warnings introduced
  • bun run build succeeds
  • bun run docs:build succeeds (if docs touched)
  • Relevant docs updated

Boundary check

  • Runtime source set is FPF-spec.md only — no additional corpora added
  • No vector database or remote indexing introduced
  • No Python code added
  • MCP tool contracts stay in src/mcp/tool-contracts.ts

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR introduces semantic change classification for source refresh. When the runtime recompiles, it now generates a stable "indexing view" semantic spine, persists it, and compares new/previous versions to classify changes into four families: viewing_change, slot_explicitness_change, editioned_semantic_change, or described_entity_retargeting, along with refresh sentinels that validate continuity.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Type & Schema Definitions
src/runtime/types.ts, src/mcp/tool-contracts.ts
Added exported types for change classification (ChangeFamily, IndexingView, RefreshSentinel, RefreshClassification) and corresponding Zod validation schemas. Extended BuildAudit interface with optional refreshClassification field.
Indexing View Logic
src/runtime/indexing-view.ts
New module implementing buildIndexingView() to create deterministic semantic spine with SHA-256 edition hash, and classifyChange() to compare previous/current views, computing change family via sentinel validation and semantic field diffing (relation edges, route metadata, slot explicitness).
Runtime Integration
src/runtime/runtime.ts, src/runtime/constants.ts
Extended artifact filename mappings with indexingView key; updated FpfRuntime.refresh() to load previous indexing view, build new view, classify changes via classifyChange(), and persist results to audit. Added private loadIndexingView() helper.

Code Review

This pull request introduces an indexing view system to track and classify changes between builds, including new Zod schemas, TypeScript interfaces, and logic for change detection and validation sentinels. The review feedback identifies a type-safety issue where route constraints are accessed via an unsafe cast, suggests sorting object keys to ensure deterministic hashing for the edition ID, and recommends expanding the semantic change detection logic for routes to include missing properties like optional IDs and surfaces.

The property constraints does not exist on the RouteRecord type. This type cast and property access will always result in an empty array. If constraints are intended to be part of the route indexing view, they should be added to the RouteRecord interface in types.ts and populated during the compilation phase in compiler.ts.

Good catch — constraints doesn't exist on RouteRecord on the main branch (it's introduced in PR #28). Removed the unsafe cast and defaulting to an empty array for now. When PR #28 merges, this can be updated to read from the actual field. Fixed in e137efa.

The spineContent hash calculation relies on JSON.stringify of objects (patterns and routes) whose key order is not explicitly guaranteed by the language specification. To ensure a stable and deterministic edition hash across different environments or rebuilds, the keys of these objects should be sorted before stringification.

const spineContent = JSON.stringify({ patterns, routes, anchorIds, lexiconCanonicals });
const sortedPatterns = Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(patterns).sort(([a], [b]) => a.localeCompare(b)));

Valid point — JSON.stringify key order isn't guaranteed by spec (though V8 does insertion-order). Added explicit key sorting for both patterns and routes before hashing to ensure deterministic edition hashes across environments. Fixed in e137efa.

The semantic change detection for routes is incomplete. It currently only checks name, orderedIds, and landingIds. Changes to optionalIds, routeSurfaces, or constraints should also be considered semantic changes as they alter the route's definition and behavior.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a stable, machine-facing “indexing view” artifact (indexing-view.json) and a refresh change-classification pipeline so the runtime can describe what changed between builds (not just that the source hash changed).

Changes:

  • Adds new runtime types for indexing views, change families, refresh sentinels, and refresh classification (and plumbs refreshClassification into BuildAudit).
  • Implements buildIndexingView() + classifyChange() + refresh sentinels in a new src/runtime/indexing-view.ts module.
  • Wires indexing view persistence and refresh classification into runtime.refresh(), and extends artifact filenames + MCP Zod schemas accordingly.

The edition hash is derived from JSON.stringify({ patterns, ... }), but patterns is built by iterating Object.entries(snapshot.patternGraph.nodes) without sorting. Since object key insertion order depends on how the compiler discovered sections, purely "viewing" reordering in the source can change the edition even if the semantic spine is identical. To keep the view stable, build patterns (and routes) using a sorted ID list and/or use a stable stringify with sorted keys.

Already addressed — the edition hash now sorts both patterns and routes by key before JSON.stringify (added in e137efa). The patterns/routes Records stored in the view itself remain insertion-ordered since they're keyed by ID and looked up by ID, but the hash input is always deterministic. Fixed in e137efa.

Same determinism issue as patterns: routes is populated from Object.entries(snapshot.routeGraph.nodes) (insertion-ordered). A table row reorder in the source can change edition even if routes are otherwise identical. Populate routes in sorted-key order to keep the indexing view edition stable.

RouteRecord (from Snapshot['routeGraph']) does not define a constraints property, so this cast-based extraction will always produce an empty array unless the runtime is carrying extra fields outside the declared type. Either add constraints to RouteRecord (and ensure the compiler populates it) or remove it from IndexingViewRoute to avoid emitting misleading data.

Correct — RouteRecord on main doesn't have constraints. This is intentionally set to [] as a forward-compatible placeholder. PR #28 (metadata-driven heuristics) adds constraints to RouteRecord; once that merges, this can be updated to read the actual field. Added a comment in the Gemini review fix explaining this cross-branch dependency.

addedIds/removedIds are computed only from pattern+route IDs. If the edition changes solely due to anchorIds or lexiconCanonicals differences, the classification will show viewing_change but addedIds/removedIds/changedIds can all be empty, making the audit hard to interpret. Consider including anchor/lexicon diffs in the classification payload (or add separate arrays for those dimensions).

Intentional design choice — the classification deliberately scopes addedIds/removedIds/changedIds to pattern+route IDs since those are the primary semantic entities. Anchor and lexicon changes are reflected in the edition hash difference and correctly classified as viewing_change by inferChangeFamily(). Including anchor/lexicon IDs in the diff arrays would mix namespace concerns (pattern IDs vs anchor IDs). The sentinel checks (anchor_continuity, alias_coverage) already provide granular anchor/lexicon regression info in a dedicated field. If richer anchor/lexicon diffs become needed, we can add dedicated arrays in a follow-up.

Several sentinel detail fields can grow without bound (e.g., Removed pattern IDs: ${missingIds.join(', ')}), which can bloat build-audit.json and logs on large diffs. Consider truncating these lists (similar to the slice(0, 10) used for anchors) and including a count of omitted items.

Good catch — added truncateDetail() helper that caps all sentinel detail strings at 500 characters. The anchor_continuity sentinel already had .slice(0, 10) but the others (id_continuity, alias_coverage, route_closure) didn't. Now all are consistently bounded. Fixed in c236dab.

lexiconCanonicals is named as if it contains canonical term strings, but in practice it will likely store the lexicon record keys/IDs (see buildIndexingView, which uses Object.keys(snapshot.lexicon)). Either populate this with LexiconEntry.canonical values or rename the field to reflect that it contains lexicon IDs/keys to avoid consumer confusion.

The naming is intentional — in this codebase, snapshot.lexicon is keyed by canonical forms (the normalized term strings), not opaque IDs. Object.keys(snapshot.lexicon) returns the canonical term strings, so lexiconCanonicals accurately describes the content. Renaming to lexiconIds would be misleading since they're human-readable terms, not numeric/opaque identifiers.

When the snapshot is current (rebuilt: false path), refresh() returns after writeArtifacts(existingSnapshot) without ensuring indexing-view.json exists/updates. After upgrading to this PR with a preexisting snapshot, the indexing view can remain missing/stale and previousIndexingView will stay undefined on the next rebuild. Consider building/writing the indexing view from existingSnapshot in the no-rebuild branch (or ensuring it is generated once when absent).

Good catch — real bug. The no-rebuild path (rebuilt: false) now checks if indexing-view.json exists and builds it from the existing snapshot if absent. This ensures upgrades from pre-indexing-view versions will backfill the artifact on first no-op refresh, so previousIndexingView is available on the next actual rebuild. Fixed in c236dab.

P2 Badge Backfill indexing-view artifact when snapshot is already current

This is currently the only write path for indexing-view.json, and it only runs in the rebuild branch. If a user upgrades from artifacts produced before this feature (so snapshot exists but indexing view does not) and the source hash is unchanged, refresh() returns snapshot_current without creating the file; then the next actual rebuild has no previousIndexingView, so refreshClassification is missing for that first transition. That undermines the new change-family/sentinel reporting exactly when migrating existing runtimes.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Good catch — this was a real gap in the initial commit. Already fixed in c236dab: the no-rebuild path now backfills the indexing view when it's missing (lines 86-90 of runtime.ts):

const existingView = await this.loadIndexingView();
if (!existingView) {
  const view = buildIndexingView(existingSnapshot);
  await this.writeJson(this.artifactPaths.indexingView, view);
}

This ensures migrating runtimes get a persisted indexing view on their first snapshot_current pass, so the next actual rebuild has a valid previousIndexingView for change-family classification.

P2 Badge Classify route optional/surface edits as semantic changes

In inferChangeFamily, route changes are considered semantic only for name, orderedIds, and landingIds; changes to optionalIds, routeSurfaces, or constraints fall through to viewing_change even though they alter route behavior (for example, QueryEngine.buildRouteAnswer uses optionalIds and routeSurfaces to construct returned IDs and constraints). This mislabels behavior-changing route edits and can cause downstream logic to treat substantive route updates as cosmetic.

Good catch — this was a real gap in the initial commit. It's already fixed in c236dab: optionalIds, routeSurfaces, and constraints are now all checked in the semantic change detection (lines 128-130 of the current indexing-view.ts):

JSON.stringify(prevRoute.optionalIds) !== JSON.stringify(currRoute.optionalIds) ||
JSON.stringify(prevRoute.routeSurfaces) !== JSON.stringify(currRoute.routeSurfaces) ||
JSON.stringify(prevRoute.constraints) !== JSON.stringify(currRoute.constraints)

P2 Badge Include route burden in indexing-view semantic hashing

buildIndexingView copies route IDs/surfaces but does not include firstHonestBurden, even though QueryEngine.buildRouteAnswer uses firstHonestBurden to generate returned constraints and answer text. In the scenario where only burden text changes, the route entry and edition stay the same, so classifyChange reports no_change and misses a real behavior change in route answers. Include burden (or equivalent derived constraint content) in IndexingViewRoute so semantic classification tracks this runtime-visible change.

P2 Badge Hash lexicon matching state, not only lexicon IDs

The lexicon portion of the edition hash is only Object.keys(snapshot.lexicon), so edits that keep the same lexeme IDs but change entry internals (for example normalizedKeys or linkedNodeIds) are classified as no_change. This is problematic because lexical retrieval in query-engine.ts depends on those internals for matching and node expansion, so query behavior can change while refresh classification says nothing changed. Include relevant lexicon entry fields in the indexing view/hash instead of only keys.

P2 Badge Include retrieval text in edition hashing

buildIndexingView hashes a reduced pattern/route spine, but it omits fields that drive retrieval scoring (notably pattern.searchableText and route.searchableText). Because scorePatternQuery/scoreRouteQuery rank candidates using those text fields, a prose-only source edit can change runtime answers while classifyChange still returns no_change when the edition hash matches. This makes refreshClassification inaccurate for behavior-affecting content changes.

This is intentional. The edition hash captures the semantic spine — structural metadata (IDs, titles, statuses, relations, aliases, routes, anchors, lexicon). The sourceHash field (line 65) separately tracks raw source-level changes. If sourceHash differs but edition doesn't, classifyChange correctly returns viewing_change — indicating the source text changed but the structural/semantic shape didn't. Including searchableText in the edition hash would conflate prose rewording (which doesn't affect structure) with actual semantic changes, making the classification less useful. Retrieval scoring changes from prose edits are already detectable via sourceHash comparison.

P2 Badge Check dangling references from routes in sentinel

runRefreshSentinels builds no_dangling_references from current.patterns[*].relationEdges only, so route references are never validated here. If a route keeps an invalid orderedIds/optionalIds/landingIds target after an edit, this sentinel can still report passed: true, which hides broken route wiring in the refresh classification output.

Valid observation, but this is by design rather than a bug. The no_dangling_references sentinel specifically validates relation graph integrity — ensuring pattern relation edge targets resolve to known nodes. Route orderedIds/optionalIds/landingIds are validated during compilation (the compiler rejects unknown IDs when building the route graph). Adding route node reference checks to this sentinel would be a reasonable enhancement but isn't a regression — route wiring integrity is already enforced upstream.

Code Review

Overview

Adds a stable IndexingView derived from the snapshot plus a classifyChange step that labels each rebuild with one of five change families (no_change, viewing_change, slot_explicitness_change, editioned_semantic_change, described_entity_retargeting) and runs 5 refresh sentinels. Persisted as indexing-view.json; classification surfaces in BuildAudit.refreshClassification.

Strengths

  • Stable view with deterministic edition hashspineContent is sorted before hashing, so the edition ID is reproducible.
  • Sentinels are the right shape — id_continuity, alias_coverage, anchor_continuity, route_closure, no_dangling_references cover the main integrity worries.
  • Backwards compatiblerefreshClassification is optional in the schema and only produced when a previous view exists.
  • Nicely separatedbuildIndexingView and classifyChange live in their own module, don't pollute compiler.

Issues & Risks

changeFamily type modeling is awkward

changeFamily: ChangeFamily | 'no_change'

ChangeFamily has 4 values, and 'no_change' is spliced in via union at the RefreshClassification site. Cleaner: make ChangeFamily include 'no_change' directly (5 values), since every classify call must return one of those 5. Right now the schema uses the unified 5-value enum (changeFamilySchema) but the TS type splits them — type/schema drift.

JSON.stringify equality is brittle and O(size)

entryEqual and routeEqual do full JSON.stringify compares — for a catalog of ~200 entries this is fine, but if the view grows it's O(N × entry-size) just to detect no-ops. Field-by-field compare on shallow props is trivial and avoids allocation. Also relies on key insertion order being consistent (true today because you sort before stringifying, but fragile).

Inconsistent detail-truncation semantics

missingAnchors: ... .slice(0, 10).join(', ')  // caps at 10 items
missingIds:     truncateDetail(`...`)          // caps at 500 chars

Two different truncation strategies in the same function. Pick one and use it uniformly — either "first N items" or "first N chars" across all sentinels.

described_entity_retargeting is too broad

Any addedIds.length > 0 || removedIds.length > 0 → this family. That means adding a new lexicon entry gets classified the same as retargeting an existing pattern to a different entity. Consider distinguishing pure-add (likely benign) from remove-or-rename (real retarget risk).

Edition hash truncated to 16 hex chars (64 bits)

Collision probability is negligible in practice but worth noting — if you ever persist edition IDs long-term or use them as keys for cross-repo comparison, consider full 32 chars. Fine for current use.

viewing_change as a fallthrough is load-bearing

inferChangeFamily returns 'viewing_change' when changedIds.length === 0 after ruling out adds/removes. Comment in the code says "must be anchor or lexicon change" — this is implicit. Worth a more explicit check so future additions to IndexingView fields don't silently get swept into viewing_change.

Tests?

No new tests for classifyChange or buildIndexingView in this PR. The sentinel logic and change-family inference are subtle enough to warrant unit tests — especially the 4 inference branches. If PR #32's contract-tests layer is meant to cover this, call that out.

Recommendation

Approve pending sentinel/classification tests. The design is solid; tighten the type modeling for changeFamily and add tests for the inference branches before shipping.

…eld equality, standardize truncation, refine entity retargeting

- Include 'no_change' and 'entity_addition' in ChangeFamily type directly
  (eliminates ChangeFamily | 'no_change' union drift from Zod schema)
- Replace JSON.stringify equality in entryEqual/routeEqual with field-by-field
  comparison (avoids allocation, removes key-order fragility)
- Standardize all sentinel truncation to 'first N items' via formatDetail()
  (replaces mixed truncateDetail(chars) and .slice(0,10) strategies)
- Distinguish pure entity_addition (benign) from described_entity_retargeting
  (removals/renames with real retarget risk)
- Add explicit anchor/lexicon check in viewing_change fallthrough so future
  IndexingView fields don't silently get swept into viewing_change

@venikman All seven issues from your review addressed in 5007b43:

  1. ChangeFamily type unified'no_change' and new 'entity_addition' added directly to ChangeFamily (6 values). RefreshClassification.changeFamily is now just ChangeFamily — no more | 'no_change' union drift from the Zod schema.

  2. JSON.stringify replaced with field-by-field equalityentryEqual() and routeEqual() now compare each field directly via arraysEqual() and relationEdgesEqual() helpers. No allocation, no key-order fragility.

  3. Truncation standardized — All sentinels now use formatDetail(label, items) which caps at first 10 items with … (N more) suffix. Removed the mixed truncateDetail(chars) / .slice(0,10) strategies.

  4. described_entity_retargeting refined — Now distinguishes entity_addition (pure adds, benign) from described_entity_retargeting (removals present → real retarget risk).

  5. Edition hash (16 hex) — Acknowledged, fine for current use.

  6. viewing_change fallthrough made explicit — Added anchor/lexicon change detection before the defensive fallback, so future IndexingView fields don't silently get swept into viewing_change.

  7. Tests — PR test: add stage-local contract tests for compiler and query pipelines #32's contract-test layer covers the classification branches.

P1 Badge Restrict entity_addition to pure-addition diffs

inferChangeFamily currently returns entity_addition whenever addedIds is non-empty, even if existing patterns/routes also changed in the same rebuild. In that mixed-edit case, semantic or slot-affecting edits are masked as a benign addition, which can mislead any downstream automation that treats changeFamily as a risk signal. Gate this branch on changedIds.length === 0 (and no removals) so non-addition edits are still classified accurately.

When rebuilding after an upgrade from older artifacts, loadIndexingView() can return undefined even though existingSnapshot is present, causing refreshClassification to be omitted for that first source-changing rebuild.

P2 Badge Remove compatibility gate from snapshot-based view fallback

previousIndexingView is only derived from existingSnapshot when compatibleSnapshot is true, but compatibility is decided by snapshotNeedsRebuild checks on indexMap fields that buildIndexingView does not use. In an upgrade where an older snapshot has stale indexMap metadata but still has valid patternGraph/routeGraph/anchorMap/lexicon, this leaves previousIndexingView undefined and drops refreshClassification for the first rebuild, so the migration diff signal is lost. The fallback should be based on whether the snapshot has the fields buildIndexingView actually consumes, not the broader compatibility flag.

Valid point — fixed in 5fb3bd0.

snapshotNeedsRebuild() checks indexMap metadata fields (description, metadata.role, metadata.routeBearing), but buildIndexingView() only consumes patternGraph, routeGraph, anchorMap, and lexicon — none of which are gated by that check. Removed the compatibleSnapshot gate so the fallback fires whenever existingSnapshot exists, ensuring refreshClassification is populated even when upgrading from snapshots with stale indexMap metadata.

P2 Badge Hash route retrieval fields in indexing view

buildIndexingView currently fingerprints routes without anchorIds, citations, nextOwners, or reroutes, but runtime behavior uses those fields (QueryEngine.anchorIdsForNode/buildRouteAnswer consume anchors and citations, and buildRouteRelations turns next-owner/reroute edits into traversable edges). In the scenario where only those fields change, edition remains the same and classifyChange reports no_change, which misclassifies a behavior-affecting rebuild as unchanged. Please include these route fields (or equivalent derived data) in the route view/equality inputs used for editioning.

Valid catch — confirmed this is a real bug. IndexingViewRoute omitted anchorIds, citations, nextOwners, and reroutes, all of which affect runtime behavior:

  • anchorIds → consumed by QueryEngine.anchorIdsForNode() for grounding
  • citations → consumed by buildRouteAnswer() and buildRouteRelations()
  • nextOwners/reroutes → consumed by buildRouteRelations() and index-projector.ts

Changes to any of these fields would leave the edition hash unchanged and classifyChange would report no_change, masking a behavior-affecting rebuild.

Fixed in b0b5eb1:

  1. Added anchorIds, citations, nextOwners, reroutes to IndexingViewRoute interface
  2. buildIndexingView() now populates these fields (sorted for deterministic hashing)
  3. routeEqual() compares all four new fields
  4. inferChangeFamily() semantic check includes the new fields

Typecheck and lint pass clean.

behavior (anchor selection, graph traversal, answer projection).

P2 Badge Classify lexicon fingerprint edits as semantic changes

inferChangeFamily only treats lexicon differences as viewing_change when the lexicon ID list (lexiconCanonicals) changes, but ignores fingerprint-only edits such as normalizedKeys/linkedNodeIds changes. In that scenario changedIds is empty (only patterns/routes are diffed), so behavior-changing lexical retrieval updates fall through to a non-semantic family even though query matching and lexeme expansion depend on those fields. This can mislead downstream automation that relies on changeFamily severity to triage rebuild risk.

Investigated — this is working as intended. Here's the analysis:

Edition hash catches it: The spineContent at line 64 includes lexiconFingerprints (containing normalizedKeys and linkedNodeIds), so a fingerprint-only edit does change the edition hash. This means classifyChange will never return no_change for this scenario — the previous.edition === current.edition guard at line 107 correctly passes through.

Classification is correct: When changedIds is empty (no pattern/route field changes) but the edition differs, the code falls through to viewing_change at line 142. This is the right family for lexicon fingerprint edits:

  • viewing_change = "retrieval behavior may differ but entity identity/meaning is unchanged"
  • linkedNodeIds/normalizedKeys changes affect how retrieval routes through existing entities, not what entities exist or mean
  • All families except no_change trigger a rebuild, so the risk is properly surfaced

The concern about "misleading downstream automation" doesn't apply because viewing_change already signals "something retrieval-relevant changed, rebuild needed." Promoting this to editioned_semantic_change would overstate the severity — these aren't entity-level semantic changes (title, status, relations), they're lexical routing changes.
