## Decision 1: AST Parser Selection

### 🎯 Decision: **tree-sitter**

**Options Considered**:

| Option | Pros | Cons | Score |
|--------|------|------|-------|
| **tree-sitter** ✅ | Multi-language, fast, future-proof, GitHub-proven | C dependency, build complexity | **9/10** |
| Built-in `ast` (Python only) | No dependencies, simple, well-documented | Python only, no JS/TS/Go support | 6/10 |
| Language-specific parsers | High accuracy per language | Maintenance burden, inconsistent APIs | 5/10 |
| esprima (JS/Python port) | Pure Python, easy install | JS only, slower, less maintained | 4/10 |

---

### Detailed Analysis

#### tree-sitter (Recommended ✅)

**Technical Specs**:
- **Language**: C with Python bindings
- **Performance**: ~1ms per file (1000 LOC)
- **Memory**: ~10MB for typical project
- **Supported Languages**: 50+ (Python, JS, TS, Go, Rust, Java, C++, etc.)

**Installation**:
```bash
pip install tree-sitter
pip install tree-sitter-python
pip install tree-sitter-javascript
# Add more as needed
```

**Package Size Impact**:
```
tree-sitter: ~2MB
tree-sitter-python: ~500KB
tree-sitter-javascript: ~800KB
Total: ~3.3MB (acceptable)
```

**Example Usage**:
```python
from tree_sitter import Language, Parser
import tree_sitter_python as tspython

# Initialize parser
PY_LANGUAGE = Language(tspython.language())
parser = Parser()
parser.set_language(PY_LANGUAGE)

# Parse file
with open("example.py", "rb") as f:
    tree = parser.parse(f.read())

# Extract functions
def extract_functions(node, functions=[]):
    if node.type == "function_definition":
        name_node = node.child_by_field_name("name")
        functions.append({
            "name": name_node.text.decode(),
            "line_start": node.start_point[0] + 1,
            "line_end": node.end_point[0] + 1,
        })

    for child in node.children:
        extract_functions(child, functions)

    return functions

functions = extract_functions(tree.root_node)
# → [{"name": "main", "line_start": 10, "line_end": 25}, ...]
```

**Pros**:
- ✅ **Multi-language**: Easy to add JS/TS/Go/Rust later
- ✅ **Battle-tested**: Used by GitHub, Atom, Neovim
- ✅ **Fast**: C implementation, incremental parsing
- ✅ **Accurate**: Proper AST, not regex hacks
- ✅ **Active**: Well-maintained, large community
- ✅ **Consistent API**: Same interface for all languages

**Cons**:
- ⚠️ **C Dependency**: Requires compiler on install
- ⚠️ **Build Time**: ~30s on first install
- ⚠️ **Package Size**: +3MB to distribution
- ⚠️ **Windows Support**: May need Visual Studio Build Tools

**Mitigation**:
```python
# Graceful fallback if tree-sitter unavailable
try:
    from tree_sitter import Language, Parser
    TREE_SITTER_AVAILABLE = True
except ImportError:
    TREE_SITTER_AVAILABLE = False
    logger.warning(
        "tree-sitter not available. "
        "Symbol extraction disabled. "
        "Install with: pip install tree-sitter tree-sitter-python"
    )

def extract_symbols(file_path: Path) -> List[Symbol]:
    if TREE_SITTER_AVAILABLE:
        return extract_with_tree_sitter(file_path)
    else:
        # Fallback: basic file-level indexing only
        return []
```

---

#### Built-in `ast` (Python fallback)

**Use Case**: Fallback if tree-sitter installation fails

**Example**:
```python
import ast

def extract_python_symbols_fallback(file_path: Path) -> List[Symbol]:
    """Fallback using built-in ast module."""
    with open(file_path) as f:
        try:
            tree = ast.parse(f.read())
        except SyntaxError:
            return []  # Skip files with syntax errors

    symbols = []
    for node in ast.walk(tree):
        if isinstance(node, ast.FunctionDef):
            symbols.append(Symbol(
                name=node.name,
                type="function",
                line_start=node.lineno,
                docstring=ast.get_docstring(node)
            ))
        elif isinstance(node, ast.ClassDef):
            symbols.append(Symbol(
                name=node.name,
                type="class",
                line_start=node.lineno,
                docstring=ast.get_docstring(node)
            ))

    return symbols
```

**When to Use**:
- Python-only projects
- Windows users without compiler
- CI/CD environments with build issues

---

### Final Decision: tree-sitter

**Rationale**:
1. **Strategic**: Enables v0.11.1 (JS/TS), v0.12.0 (Go/Rust) with minimal effort
2. **Quality**: Proper AST > regex hacks
3. **Community**: Industry standard (GitHub, Neovim use it)
4. **Performance**: Fast enough for 10K+ files
5. **Fallback**: Can use built-in `ast` if needed

**Implementation Plan**:
```
v0.11.0:
  - Use tree-sitter-python for Python files
  - Use built-in ast as fallback
  - Document installation instructions

v0.11.1:
  - Add tree-sitter-javascript
  - Add tree-sitter-typescript

v0.12.0:
  - Add tree-sitter-go
  - Add tree-sitter-rust
```

## Decision 2: Storage Format for Repository Map

### 🎯 Decision: **JSON (with optional SQLite for large projects)**

**Options Considered**:

| Option | Pros | Cons | Score |
|--------|------|------|-------|
| **JSON** ✅ | Human-readable, Git-friendly, simple | Slower queries, memory-intensive | **8/10** |
| SQLite | Fast queries, efficient, proven | Binary format, harder to inspect | 7/10 |
| Custom Binary | Optimal performance | High complexity, not inspectable | 4/10 |
| YAML | Human-readable, existing usage | Slower than JSON, parsing overhead | 6/10 |

---

### Detailed Analysis

#### JSON (Recommended ✅)

**Structure**:
```
.clauxton/map/
├── index.json           # File structure (5-10MB for 10K files)
├── symbols.json         # Extracted symbols (10-20MB for 10K files)
├── dependencies.json    # Import graph (2-5MB)
└── cache/
    └── search_index.pkl # TF-IDF cache (scikit-learn)
```

**Example: index.json**:
```json
{
  "version": "0.11.0",
  "indexed_at": "2026-01-15T10:30:00Z",
  "root_path": "/home/user/project",
  "files": [
    {
      "path": "src/api/users.py",
      "relative_path": "src/api/users.py",
      "file_type": "source",
      "language": "python",
      "size_bytes": 12450,
      "line_count": 342,
      "last_modified": "2026-01-15T09:15:00Z",
      "git_status": "modified",
      "symbols_count": 15
    }
  ],
  "statistics": {
    "total_files": 10234,
    "total_symbols": 45621,
    "languages": {"python": 1450, "javascript": 3200}
  }
}
```

**Example: symbols.json**:
```json
{
  "src/api/users.py": [
    {
      "name": "create_user",
      "type": "function",
      "line_start": 45,
      "line_end": 67,
      "signature": "def create_user(username: str, email: str) -> User",
      "docstring": "Create a new user account.",
      "complexity": 5
    },
    {
      "name": "UserService",
      "type": "class",
      "line_start": 70,
      "line_end": 150,
      "docstring": "Service for user management operations."
    }
  ]
}
```

**Pros**:
- ✅ **Human-readable**: Users can inspect with `cat`, `jq`, etc.
- ✅ **Git-friendly**: Diffs are meaningful
- ✅ **Simple**: No database setup, pure Python stdlib
- ✅ **Debuggable**: Easy to troubleshoot issues
- ✅ **Portable**: Works everywhere (no SQLite versions)
- ✅ **Consistency**: Matches existing Clauxton pattern (YAML → JSON for map)

**Cons**:
- ⚠️ **Memory**: Loads entire file into memory
- ⚠️ **Query Speed**: O(n) search without indexing
- ⚠️ **File Size**: 20-30MB for large projects

**Performance**:
```python
# Benchmark (10K files, 45K symbols)
Load index.json:      250ms
Load symbols.json:    450ms
Search by name:       15ms (with in-memory index)
Search by content:    100ms (TF-IDF)

Total cold start:     700ms ✅ (acceptable)
```

**Optimization**:
```python
# Lazy loading
class RepositoryMap:
    def __init__(self, root_dir: Path):
        self.root_dir = root_dir
        self._index = None
        self._symbols = None

    @property
    def index(self) -> Dict:
        """Lazy load index."""
        if self._index is None:
            with open(self.map_dir / "index.json") as f:
                self._index = json.load(f)
        return self._index

    @property
    def symbols(self) -> Dict:
        """Lazy load symbols."""
        if self._symbols is None:
            with open(self.map_dir / "symbols.json") as f:
                self._symbols = json.load(f)
        return self._symbols
```

---

#### SQLite (Future optimization)

**Use Case**: Projects with 50K+ files or <100ms query requirements

**Schema**:
```sql
CREATE TABLE files (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    path TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    relative_path TEXT NOT NULL,
    file_type TEXT,
    language TEXT,
    size_bytes INTEGER,
    line_count INTEGER,
    last_modified TEXT,
    git_status TEXT
);

CREATE TABLE symbols (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    file_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
    name TEXT NOT NULL,
    type TEXT NOT NULL,
    line_start INTEGER,
    line_end INTEGER,
    signature TEXT,
    docstring TEXT,
    complexity INTEGER,
    FOREIGN KEY (file_id) REFERENCES files(id)
);

CREATE INDEX idx_symbols_name ON symbols(name);
CREATE INDEX idx_symbols_type ON symbols(type);
CREATE INDEX idx_files_language ON files(language);
```

**Query Performance**:
```sql
-- Find function by name: <5ms
SELECT * FROM symbols WHERE name = 'create_user';

-- Find all functions in file: <10ms
SELECT s.* FROM symbols s
JOIN files f ON s.file_id = f.id
WHERE f.relative_path = 'src/api/users.py';

-- Count symbols by language: <20ms
SELECT f.language, COUNT(s.id) as symbol_count
FROM symbols s
JOIN files f ON s.file_id = f.id
GROUP BY f.language;
```

**When to Enable**:
```python
# Auto-detect need for SQLite
if file_count > 50000 or query_time > 200ms:
    logger.info(
        "Large project detected. "
        "Migrating to SQLite for better performance..."
    )
    migrate_json_to_sqlite()
```

**Pros**:
- ✅ Fast queries (<50ms for any operation)
- ✅ Efficient memory usage (doesn't load everything)
- ✅ Proven technology (stable, well-tested)

**Cons**:
- ❌ Binary format (not human-readable)
- ❌ Harder to inspect/debug
- ❌ Version compatibility issues (SQLite versions)

---

### Final Decision: JSON with SQLite migration path

**v0.11.0 Implementation**:
- Use JSON for all projects
- Optimize with lazy loading
- Add in-memory indexing for searches
- Document performance characteristics

**v0.11.1+ (If needed)**:
- Add SQLite backend
- Auto-migrate for large projects (>50K files)
- Keep JSON as fallback

**Rationale**:
1. **Consistency**: Aligns with Clauxton's philosophy (human-readable, Git-friendly)
2. **Simplicity**: No database setup, pure Python
3. **Performance**: Good enough for 99% of projects (<10K files)
4. **Future-proof**: Easy to migrate to SQLite if needed

---

## Decision 3: Community Feedback

### 🎯 Decision: **Skip for now (solo developer)**

**Rationale**:
- Currently only 1 active user (you)
- Decisions made based on technical analysis + competitive research
- Can gather feedback after v0.11.0-alpha release
- Faster iteration without waiting for community input

**Future Strategy**:
```
v0.11.0-alpha:
  - Release to PyPI with "alpha" tag
  - Create GitHub Discussion for feedback
  - Announce on social media

v0.11.0-beta (2 weeks later):
  - Incorporate feedback
  - Fix bugs
  - Refine UX

v0.11.0 (1 month after alpha):
  - Stable release
```

## Risk Mitigation

### Risk 1: tree-sitter installation issues

**Mitigation**:
- Provide pre-built wheels (if possible)
- Document installation on Windows/Mac/Linux
- Implement graceful fallback to `ast` module
- Add troubleshooting guide

### Risk 2: Performance below targets

**Mitigation**:
- Benchmark early (Week 0-1)
- Optimize hot paths (profiling)
- Add caching layers
- Implement incremental indexing

### Risk 3: Symbol extraction accuracy

**Mitigation**:
- Test on real-world projects
- Handle edge cases (syntax errors, malformed code)
- Skip problematic files gracefully
- Log warnings for debugging

## Next Steps

### Immediate (This week):

1. **Set up tree-sitter environment** (2h)
   ```bash
   pip install tree-sitter tree-sitter-python
   python -c "from tree_sitter import Language; import tree_sitter_python"
   ```

2. **Create benchmark projects** (1h)
   - Clone 3 repos: small (1K files), medium (10K), large (50K)
   - Test indexing speed
   - Document baseline performance

3. **Start Repository Map implementation** (4h)
   - Create `clauxton/intelligence/` directory
   - Implement `RepositoryMap.__init__`
   - Implement basic file indexing
   - Write first 5 tests

### This Month (Week 1-4):

4. **Complete Repository Map** (30h)
5. **Implement Interactive Mode basics** (8h)
6. **Add MCP tools** (10h)
7. **Write tests** (12h)
