Subject: [PATCH 1/8] fix(markdown): qualify a repeated heading's Section by
 its parent headings (#2586)

A Section's qualified name is the file's module plus the heading text, so
two `## Implementation` headings under `# Service A` and `# Service B` had
one qualified name. The graph kept one node (the last), and doclink_md sent
the references under both headings to the File node, since neither heading
owned the shared node.

A heading whose name repeats in the file now takes the names of the
headings above it into its qualified name
(`docs.repeated.Service-A.Implementation`). tree-sitter-markdown nests each
heading's `section` in the section of the heading above it, so the chain is
read from the tree. A heading whose name is unique in the file keeps its
name alone, so no other Section is renamed. Headings that repeat under the
same parents still share a name and keep the existing File fallback
(doc_links_md_repeated_headings is unchanged).

A heading text may hold dots, so a qualified name can equal another
heading's name: `# Service-A.Implementation` against the qualified
`## Implementation` under `# Service A`. All of a file's final names are
therefore settled together, once per file on its first heading, in the
scratch arena. A unique heading keeps its name, or else the first
qualified one does, and every other qualified name in the collision takes
the first free `~2`, `~3`, .... Names collide only when they come from
different headings: the comparison is on the list of heading names, not on
the dotted text.

Diagrams find their Section through the definition list, so a diagram under
a repeated heading now hangs off that heading's own Section.

Tests (tests/test_doc_links_md.c): the document from the issue, with a
Mermaid diagram under the second heading. Without the fix it fails on the
defect: one `Implementation` Section where there are two. The same document
plus `# Service-A.Implementation` requires five Sections, the unique heading
keeping its name. Without the collision handling it fails with four.

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] fix(discover): select C++ for C-family include fragments

Recognize explicit C-family code in .inc files before extraction while
preserving BitBake recipe bodies and ObjectScript markers. Exercise disk
and byte classifiers, callback/linkage extraction and fast/full indexing.

Subject: [PATCH 3/8] fix(diagram): set an empty PlantUML operand id when there
 is none

dg_puml_operand set *label up front but *id only on its success paths, so an
opener without its closer (`Alice ->: x`, `[-> Alice: x`, `class [Unclosed`)
returned with *id unwritten. dg_puml_relation and dg_puml_decl then read an
uninitialized dg_str_t and passed it to dg_element, which crashed the index
worker on some stacks. The operand now starts with an empty id, so those lines
take the existing `!lid.n` / `!rid.n` exits and declarations make no element.

Fixes #2818

Subject: [PATCH 4/8] fix(hooks): tell subagents without MCP tools how to reach
 the graph via the CLI

The SubagentStart hook matches every agent type, but agents defined with an
explicit tool list (e.g. tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash) have no MCP tools, and
SubagentStart input carries no tool list to detect that. Append one sentence to
the SubagentStart context only (indexed and unindexed variants) pointing such
agents at `codebase-memory-mcp cli <tool> --help`. Longest variant is ~1.1 KB,
well inside the 2 KB context buffer.

Closes #2837

Subject: [PATCH 5/8] fix(mcp): match search_code file_pattern with a directory
 against the repo-relative path

search_code matched file_pattern against the file basename only, so any
pattern containing a directory (src/cli/*.c, apps/web/src/**/*.ts)
silently returned 0 results, while search_graph's file_pattern matches
the full repo-relative path.

A file_pattern containing '/' is now matched in C against the
repo-relative path of every indexed file, on all platforms, with
search_graph-equivalent semantics: '*' and '**' match across '/', '**/'
also matches zero directories, '?' matches one character, and a pattern
without wildcards is a substring match. Patterns without '/' keep the
existing basename behaviour. On Windows such patterns are scanned in
process from the already-filtered list instead of the PowerShell -like
post-filter. A search with a '/' pattern that returns nothing now carries
a hint explaining whole-path matching and pointing at path_filter, and
the schema describes both parameters.

Subject: [PATCH 6/8] test(diagram): keep the unclosed class declaration in its
 own diagram

A class line makes a PlantUML diagram a class diagram, where -> is an arrow rather than a sequence message, so the edge-message fixture could never produce the message arrow it asserts. Put the unclosed declaration in a second @startuml block and assert both diagram kinds.

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] ci: move macOS runners to macos-15 and pin the deployment
 target to 14.0

GitHub retires the macos-14 runner image on 2026-11-02, and its brownouts
already cancel our macos-14 jobs. Move every macos-14 runner reference to
macos-15 (arm64): the release darwin-arm64 build, the unix-macos14 and
tsan-mac test legs, the smoke-mac PR leg (its two matrix.os guards move in
lockstep), the release smoke, both soak legs, the memwaste event lane, the
bug-repro board, the cache warmer and the all-platform smoke. Lane names
stay unchanged: select-lanes.sh, ci-ok and the lane contracts key on them,
never on the runner label.

Two broad legs already ran on macos-15 (_test.yml BROAD_UNIX, _smoke.yml
BROAD_UNIX) and smoke.yml listed both images, so the moved legs would have
duplicated them. Those duplicates are dropped; PR CI keeps exactly the
same legs.

Without an explicit minimum, clang stamps the binary with the SDK's
default (LC_BUILD_VERSION minos), so a release built on macos-15 would
refuse to start on macOS 14. Makefile.cbm now folds
-mmacosx-version-min=14.0 into CC/CXX next to ARCHFLAGS for Apple targets
(detected from the compiler's target, not the host), so it reaches every
compile and link, vendored objects included, on every build path.

Proof on macOS 26.6 / SDK 26.5: the production binary built from
origin/main reports minos 26.0; with this change it reports minos 14.0,
with zero warnings under -Werror, no weak imports and an identical
undefined-symbol set. The test runner (direct make, no env.sh) is minos
14.0 too; platform and daemon_ipc suites pass.

Subject: [PATCH 8/8] fix(hooks): state the CLI fallback for subagents as a
 fact

Hook context reads best as plain facts: the SubagentStart sentence now says the same tools are also available from the shell instead of instructing the agent. The command the tests match is unchanged.
