Martin Vogelanddarkverbito 706bb2ce81 feat(lang): add Chialisp support with a first-party tree-sitter grammar
Chialisp (.clsp/.clib/.clinc) is the Chia smart-coin language. The only
public grammar, Quexington/tree-sitter-chialisp, cannot parse it: on the five
reference files from chia-blockchain@main it produced 3-34 ERROR nodes each.
Three defects account for all of them, and each desynchronised the rest of the
file rather than losing one node:

  * comments were `/;.*\r\n/` -- CRLF-only, while real files are LF;
  * `(include foo.clib)` was rejected because of the dot in the filename;
  * `(defconstant NAME <expr>)` accepted only a primitive after the name.

So the grammar is written here instead, in tools/tree-sitter-chialisp/, and
files as first-party: its vendored LICENSE is the project's own, byte-identical
to the repository root, carrying no third-party copyright.

It is deliberately GENERIC -- source_file / list / symbol / string / number /
hex / dot / comment, modelling the clvm_tools reader rather than the Chialisp
form vocabulary. `mod`, `defun`, `defconstant` and `include` are ordinary head
symbols; which lists are definitions is decided in extract_defs.c. A dialect
that adds a form (cl-21 -> cl-23 -> cl-26 each added several) therefore needs
no regenerated parser. Acceptance: all five reference files parse with zero
ERROR and zero MISSING nodes; the three defects above are pinned as tests.

Extraction, and the four decisions in it:

  * `Constant` is admitted to the cross-file name registry
    (cbm_label_is_registry_symbol). Chialisp's condition codes live as
    `(defconstant ...)` in a shared .clib and are referenced by name from every
    puzzle; labelled but unregistered they are seeded nowhere, and roughly half
    of a Chialisp graph would be present as nodes yet never the target of an
    edge. All three registry-seeding sites route through that one predicate, so
    they cannot diverge. No other language emits `Constant`, so the blast radius
    is exactly Chialisp. Pinned by a two-file graph test that goes red when the
    label is removed from the predicate.
  * `export` / `namespace` are NOT definition heads. `(export foo)` names a
    function already defined in the same file, so treating it as a def head
    mints a second node for one symbol. They stay in the not-a-call filter.
  * A parameter list is a `list` too, but it binds rather than invokes. Without
    that gate `(defun check_conditions (HEIGHTLOCK conditions) ...)` mints a
    phantom call to HEIGHTLOCK, and real Chialisp is mostly such definitions.
  * `(include *standard-cl-26*)` is a dialect directive, not a file dependency;
    recording it would invent a dependency on a file that does not exist.

Three helpers that the defs, calls and unified walks all need -- the quote-data
gate, comment-skipping named-child access, and the Chialisp def-head set -- live
in helpers.c rather than being copied per translation unit. They previously
existed as byte-identical duplicates that had already drifted: extract_defs.c
skipped comments when reading a def head while its mirror in extract_unified.c
did not, so a comment between a head and its name desynchronised defs from call
scope. Both now use the same accessor.

Ledger: 161 -> 162 grammars across the seven published surfaces, ABI-14 86 -> 87,
first-party 13 -> 14, CBM_LANG_COUNT 164 -> 165.

Distilled from PR #919 by darkverbito, whose extraction logic -- the CLVM
not-a-call vocabulary, the quoted-data gate, the filename-derived `mod` name and
the include/embed import handling -- is kept and is the substance of this change.
The grammar that PR vendored is not used.

codebase-memory-mcp

npm GitHub Release License Platform

The fastest and most efficient code intelligence engine for AI coding agents. Full-indexes an average repository in milliseconds, the Linux kernel (28M LOC, 75K files) in 3 minutes. Answers structural queries in under 1ms. This npm wrapper downloads, verifies, and caches the selected native runtime set: the executable, its authenticated integration asset, and—when requested—the content-addressed UI pack.

High-quality parsing through tree-sitter AST analysis across 162 languages — producing a persistent knowledge graph of functions, classes, call chains, HTTP routes, and cross-service links. 15 MCP tools. No hosted service or API key; this package requires Node.js to manage and launch the cached native runtime set. Plug and play across 45 automatic/conditional client surfaces.

Installation

npm install -g codebase-memory-mcp

The runtime set for your platform is downloaded automatically at install time. There is one composition per platform and the graph UI is always included — the former CBM_VARIANT=ui opt-in is obsolete.

Then configure your coding agents:

codebase-memory-mcp install

Restart your agent. Say "Index this project" — done.

Why codebase-memory-mcp

  • Extreme indexing speed — Linux kernel (28M LOC, 75K files) in 3 minutes. RAM-first pipeline with LZ4 compression and in-memory SQLite.
  • Plug and play — verified native runtime sets for macOS (arm64/amd64), Linux (arm64/amd64), and Windows (arm64/amd64). No Docker or API keys; Node.js owns package download, cache repair, and launch.
  • 162 languages — vendored tree-sitter grammars compiled into the binary. Nothing to install, nothing that breaks.
  • 120x fewer tokens — 5 structural queries: ~3,400 tokens vs ~412,000 via file-by-file search.
  • 45 supported automatic/conditional client surfaces — install configures the appropriate MCP, durable-context, and documented hook surfaces without widening client permissions.
  • Detected automatically (39) — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Zed, OpenCode, Antigravity, Aider, KiloCode, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Augment / Auggie, OpenClaw, Kiro, Junie, Hermes, OpenHands, Cline, Warp, Qwen Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Factory Droid, Crush, Goose, Mistral Vibe, Grok Build, Qoder CLI, Kimi Code CLI, GitLab Duo CLI, Rovo Dev CLI, Amp, Devin CLI / Local, Tabnine, Amazon Q Developer IDE, CodeBuddy Code CLI, IBM Bob Shell, Pochi, Pi, and Oh My Pi (omp).
  • Conditional or explicit (6) — Continue / cn, Visual Studio, TRAE, Roo Code, IBM Bob IDE, and Sourcegraph Cody. Bob IDE is touched only when ~/.bob/mcp.json already exists.
  • New documented adapters — CodeBuddy uses ~/.codebuddy/.mcp.json while preserving active older files; Bob Shell uses ~/.bob/mcp_settings.json; Pochi uses the mcp section in ~/.pochi/config.jsonc; Amazon Q Developer IDE defaults to ~/.aws/amazonq/default.json while preserving either documented alternative.
  • Lifecycle hooks stay conservative — Kimi uses UserPromptSubmit; on macOS/Linux, GitLab Duo gets a fail-open user SessionStart, while Devin gets UserPromptSubmit, PostCompaction, and a deduplicated SessionStart when Claude does not already provide it. Qoder, GitLab Duo, Devin, and Factory hooks are withheld on Windows without a documented shell/executor contract. Cline's auto-activating file hooks are withheld because their context output is not reliably consumed, CodeBuddy beta hooks are not auto-installed, and Cursor context hooks remain withheld.
  • Subagent access is explicit — Claude, Gemini, Kiro, Qwen, CodeBuddy, KiloCode, Mistral Vibe, Grok Build, Qoder, Junie, and Factory get documented graph profiles with the narrowest tool/server filters their schemas support. KiloCode and Vibe enumerate read-only query tools rather than using server wildcards. Cursor, Rovo, Pochi, and Cline use explicit parent handoff where child MCP is unavailable or unsafe; IBM Bob receives no invented hook or agent.
  • Manual, UI, cloud, or repository-managed (not counted) — Qodo, Warp MCP, JetBrains AI/ACP, GitHub Copilot coding agent, Jules, CodeRabbit, Replit, BLACKBOX AI, Plandex, and SWE-agent. Warp is counted above for its detected skill installation; its MCP connection remains manual.
  • 15 MCP tools — search, trace, architecture, impact analysis, Cypher queries, dead code detection, cross-service HTTP linking, ADR management, and more.
