Subject: [PATCH 1/9] docs: v2.1-2.2-3.0 elevation trilogy design spec
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Captures the brainstorming session outcome for the three-release plan:
- v2.1 "Reliability + Zero-Friction Install" — close the bleeding,
merge contributor PRs (#6, #13), fix #11, ship engram update /
engram doctor / engram setup, close #14 via Bash PostTool parser.
- v2.2 "Spine" — integrate Serena as an engram provider via a new
reusable MCP-client subsystem. Engram becomes the orchestrator,
not a fighter of semantic-search tools.
- v3.0 "Landmines" — mistakes-as-moat expansion + R2 repositioning
("the context tool that remembers what broke"). Keep the name,
rebrand the tagline.
Strategic choices recorded:
- Trilogy (alpha) over mega-release (beta) or split (gamma)
- R2 (keep name, rebrand tagline) over R1 (keep everything) or R3
(rename, prohibitive cost)
- Update UX: option A — passive notify + manual install, zero
telemetry, ENGRAM_NO_UPDATE_CHECK + \$CI opt-out
Grounded in measured research:
- npm downloads 1.3K/week, 10/day organic baseline
- r/LocalLLaMA post ratioed (0.44) due to name collision with 4
other "Engram" projects launched Mar-Apr 2026
- Serena just hit stable with published evals — credible complement
- 2 active external contributors writing substantive PRs

+# engram Elevation Trilogy — Design Spec
+
+> **Status:** approved 2026-04-20. Implementation begins on branch `feat/v2.1-reliability-seamless`.
+> **Author:** Nick Ashkar with brainstorming skill (Claude).
+> **Supersedes:** `00-strategy/next-steps-roadmap.md` v2.0 tail.
+
+## TL;DR
+
+Three sequential releases, each standalone-useful, each setting up the next.
+
+| Release | Codename | Ship target | Theme |
+|---------|----------|-------------|-------|
+| **v2.1** | Reliability + Zero-Friction Install | +1 week | Close the bleeding — merge contributor PRs, fix #11, seamless install |
+| **v2.2** | Spine | +2 weeks | Serena as a first-class engram provider via reusable MCP-client subsystem |
+| **v3.0** | Landmines | +3-4 weeks | Mistakes-as-moat expansion + R2 reposition ("the context tool that remembers what broke") |
+
+Between v2.0.2 (shipped 2026-04-18) and v3.0, engram transitions from *"another memory tool"* (ratioed in r/LocalLLaMA) to *"the context tool that remembers what broke"* — differentiated, authoritative, orchestrating Serena, not fighting it.
+
+## Research grounding (2026-04-20)
+
+- **GitHub issues = table stakes:** #5 OOM, #6 contributor OOM fix PR, #11 AST/LSP silent unavailability, #13 reindex CLI PR, #14 Bash auto-reindex. Two external contributors (@gabiudrescu +) actively submitting substantive PRs.
+- **npm downloads:** 1,300/week; 10/day organic baseline spiking to 450+ on launch days. Retention unknown — hotfixes don't reach 90% of installs because no self-update path.
+- **Reddit reality:** r/LocalLLaMA post ratioed (0.44, "why do I see one of these daily"). 4+ projects named "Engram/Claude Engram/Engram Memory" launched Mar-Apr 2026. **Name collision is real; rename is prohibitively expensive.**
+- **Competitors:** Serena just hit stable (JetBrains-powered LSP + published evals), Vera (Rust semantic search), Anthropic native Auto-Memory + Auto-Dream. Engram's differentiator is *not* semantic retrieval (losing ground) — it's the `mistakes` provider + graph orchestration.
+
+## Strategic choices (recorded)
+
+- **Thesis:** T1 + T2 + T3 — all three shipped sequentially as a trilogy (option α over mega-release β or two-way split γ).
+- **Positioning:** R2 (keep the name `engram`/`engramx`, rebrand tagline). Rename (R3) is rejected — 2-week migration cost for marginal discovery gain; npm dist-tag equity + GitHub history + active contributors outweigh.
+- **Update UX:** Option A — passive notify + manual `engram update`. No background auto-install. Privacy-preserving (no telemetry). Kill-switch via env.
+
+---
+
+# v2.1 — "Reliability + Zero-Friction Install"
+
+## Scope
+
+### Track A — Close the bleeding (reliability)
+
+| Issue | Action | Owner |
+|-------|--------|-------|
+| **#5 + #6** init OOM on large repos | Merge @gabiudrescu's PR #6 (MAX_DEPTH=100, MAX_FILES_PER_COMMIT=50, `.engramignore`, expanded exclusions). Regression test on 50K-file fixture. | Merge + verify |
+| **#11** AST/LSP unavailable despite enabled | Forensic debug `src/providers/resolver.ts:_resetAvailabilityCache`, `src/providers/ast.ts:isAvailable`, `src/providers/lsp.ts:getConnection`. Add regression test that forces enabled=true + asserts provider actually emits rows. | Dedicated follow-up — NOT in the same commit as seamless-install work. |
+| **#13** `engram reindex ` CLI | Merge existing PR. Add `--auto-reindex` flag to `install-hook`. | Merge |
+| **#14** Bash auto-reindex | Widen `--auto-reindex` PostToolUse matcher to Bash. Parse `rm`/`mv`/`cp`/`git rm`/`git mv`/`>`/`>>`. Silent-skip on non-code paths. Reuse `syncFile` primitive. | New code: `src/intercept/handlers/bash-postool.ts` + tests |
+| **#3** ecosystem miners | **Defer to v2.2.** Tag the PR "v2.2 candidate." | — |
+
+### Track B — Zero-friction install
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| **`engram update`** | Detect install manager (npm/pnpm/yarn/bun). Shell out to upgrade command. Verify `engram --version` changed. `--check` dry-run (no install). Passive notify: on any `engram *` invocation, if `~/.engram/last-update-check` > 7 days old and newer version exists, print one-line hint. `ENGRAM_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1` and `$CI` disable. No telemetry beyond one anonymous GET to `registry.npmjs.org`. |
+| **`engram doctor`** | Wrap `src/intercept/component-status.ts` probes into human report. Per-component: ✓/⚠/✗ + remediation hint. `--verbose` for detail. `--json` for machine. Non-zero exit on critical failure. |
+| **`engram setup`** | First-run wizard. Steps: (1) `engram init` in current repo if not initialized; (2) `engram install-hook` with scope prompt; (3) detect Cursor/Windsurf/Continue configs and offer adapter setup; (4) run `engram doctor` to verify. One command for "done, working." |
+| **`engram init --with-hook`** | Shorthand: init + install-hook in one invocation. Safe-additive to existing `init`. |
+| **First-run hint** | On any `engram` subcommand run in a repo lacking `.engram/graph.db`: print `💡 First time? Run 'engram setup' for a zero-friction install.` Throttle via `~/.engram/first-run-shown`. Skip in CI. |
+
+### Track C — Diagnostics (local-only, no telemetry)
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| **Crash reports** | On `init` / `watch` / `server` throw: write `~/.engram/crashes/.log` with stack + node version + repo size + engram version. Print path to user. |
+| **`engram doctor --export`** | Redacted JSON blob — versions + OS + component statuses. User copy-pastes into bug reports. |
+
+## Architecture (v2.1 only)
+
+```
+src/
+ cli.ts ← add 3 subcommands (update, doctor, setup)
+ update/ ← NEW
+ check.ts ← npm registry check + semver compare
+ install.ts ← detect pkg-mgr + shell out to upgrade
+ notify.ts ← throttled first-run / stale-version hint
+ intercept/
+ handlers/
+ bash-postool.ts ← NEW — parse rm/mv/git-rm for reindex
+ bash.ts ← existing, extend if needed (don't fight it)
+ installer.ts ← extend with --auto-reindex matcher widening
+ doctor/ ← NEW
+ report.ts ← format component-status into human report
+ remediation.ts ← per-component fix hints
+ setup/ ← NEW
+ wizard.ts ← sequential prompts, idempotent each step
+ detect.ts ← Cursor/Windsurf/Continue presence detection
+tests/
+ update/ ← NEW
+ doctor/ ← NEW
+ setup/ ← NEW
+ intercept/handlers/
+ bash-postool.test.ts ← NEW
+```
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] All PRs in "Reliability" table merged or explicitly deferred to v2.2
+- [ ] `engram setup` on fresh machine + fresh repo → green `engram doctor` in under 30s
+- [ ] `engram update --check` hits registry in < 500ms (cached); `engram update` actually upgrades on npm/pnpm/yarn/bun
+- [ ] First-run hint appears exactly once per repo; respects `$CI`
+- [ ] `engram update` passive-check respects `ENGRAM_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1`
+- [ ] 730+ tests pass (670 baseline + new)
+- [ ] CI green Ubuntu + Windows × Node 20 + 22
+- [ ] CHANGELOG + README + SECURITY.md updated
+- [ ] Launch post drafted (r/LocalLLaMA + r/ClaudeCode + r/mcp)
+
+## Out of scope for v2.1
+
+- Serena provider (→ v2.2)
+- MCP-client subsystem (→ v2.2)
+- Mistakes-moat expansion (→ v3.0)
+- Rename / npm repackaging (→ rejected per R2)
+- Background auto-update (rejected per option A)

+
+# v2.2 — "Spine" (Serena provider)
+
+## Strategic framing
+
+> *"engram is the spine; Serena is the LSP. You install one tool, get both."*
+
+Engram orchestrates; Serena does what Serena does best (LSP-grade references). This validates engram's "context spine" positioning at the architecture level. Any future MCP tool (Cursor memory, sequential-thinking, new LSP bridges) plugs in through the same subsystem.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+src/
+ mcp-client/ ← NEW — reusable subsystem
+ client.ts ← stdio JSON-RPC client
+ lifecycle.ts ← spawn / warm / healthcheck / shutdown
+ budget.ts ← per-provider token budget allocator
+ providers/
+ serena.ts ← NEW provider
+ serena-tool-map.ts ← query-intent → Serena tool routing
+ intercept/
+ component-status.ts ← add checkSerena()
+bench/
+ tasks/semantic/ ← NEW — 5 benchmark tasks
+ task-11-find-caller-lsp
+ task-12-cross-module-reference
+ task-13-polymorphic-dispatch
+ task-14-inherited-method
+ task-15-indirect-caller
+```
+
+## Serena tools exposed (5 only)
+
+| Serena tool | Engram provider emits | Rationale |
+|-------------|----------------------|-----------|
+| `find_symbol` | symbol location + precise signature | Graph file-for-class, LSP-precise |
+| `find_references` | 2-hop reverse graph | LSP-exact find-caller replaces regex |
+| `get_symbol_body` | 50-line function body | Read function without full-file read |
+| `list_symbols_overview` | architecture sketch | Improves task-07 benchmark |
+| `get_symbols_overview` | per-file symbol summary | On-demand hot-file exploration |
+
+**Deliberately skipped:** all `replace_*`/`insert_*` write tools. Engram reads through Serena, writes nothing. Keeps security posture simple.
+
+## Budget allocator
+
+```
+intent = "find-caller" → serena 60%, structure 20%, git 10%, mistakes 10%
+intent = "how hot is X" → git 60%, structure 20%, mistakes 20%
+intent = "landmine check" → mistakes 50%, git 30%, structure 20%
+intent = "unknown" → even split across top 5
+```
+
+Provider weights are data-driven via `config.ts`. Minimum floor per enabled provider: 5% of packet (prevents starvation). Learnable later in v3.0.
+
+## Graceful degradation matrix
+
+| State | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| Serena not installed | `doctor` shows: `⚠ Serena: not installed. Install: pip install serena-agent`. Engram falls back to AST provider. |
+| Serena wrong version | Compat matrix in availability check. Fall back. |
+| Serena crashes mid-session | MCP client restarts once; on 2nd crash, disable for session. |
+| Serena slow (>2s) | Per-query timeout; return partial. |
+| User opts out | `ENGRAM_DISABLE_SERENA=1` or `engram config set serena.enabled false`. |
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] 5 new bench tasks with **real measured numbers** (no estimates in the launch post)
+- [ ] `engram doctor` reports Serena status + install hint
+- [ ] 30+ new mcp-client tests (lifecycle, timeouts, reconnect, corruption)
+- [ ] Graceful fallback verified — kill Serena mid-session, engram keeps working
+- [ ] Budget allocator: 10+ adversarial queries stay ≤500 token packet
+- [ ] `engram setup` v2.1 wizard detects missing Serena and offers `pip install serena-agent`
+- [ ] Licensing: Serena MIT + engram Apache-2.0 — no embedding, stdio-only, zero contamination
+
+## Risks
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|
+| Serena spawn cold-start 1-2s | Warm on SessionStart, subsequent queries cached |
+| Python dep breaks engram's "zero native deps" brand | Serena is **optional**; engram core stays zero-deps. Precise language in README. |
+| Serena API churns | Pin compat range in availability check; `doctor` catches mismatch |
+| Budget allocator starves non-Serena providers | 5% floor per enabled provider, adversarial-query tests |
+
+---
+
+# v3.0 — "Landmines" (Mistakes moat + R2 reposition)
+
+## Strategic framing
+
+> *"engram is the only context tool that remembers what broke."*
+
+The `mistakes` provider is already unique. v3.0 doubles down:
+- **Live regret learning:** `engram learn "X was wrong because Y"` post-compaction auto-surfaces in the NEXT session
+- **Confidence decay:** mistakes fade over time unless re-confirmed (prevents stale-warning fatigue)
+- **Agent-visible scoring:** the context packet shows *why* a file is landmined — "3 mistakes in last 30d, newest from 2d ago"
+- **Budget-allocator integration:** landmined files get automatic priority boost in provider weighting
+- **Cross-session replay:** after context compaction, mistakes for files touched in recent session get re-injected first
+
+## R2 repositioning
+
+- **Homepage tagline change:** from "The context spine for AI coding agents" → "The context tool that remembers what broke."
+- **Reddit narrative:** lead every post with a mistake-story ("Claude spent 2 hours rewriting the auth flow in the exact way we learned NOT to last month. engram stops that.")
+- **README hero section:** restructure around landmines as the lead value-prop; graph/Serena/cache become supporting evidence.
+- **No rename** — npm, GitHub, URLs stay. Tagline rebrand only.
+
+## Scope (initial — to be refined in a v3.0 design spec)
+
+- Expand `mistakes-miner` to catch more failure patterns (deprecation warnings, test failures, agent self-corrections)
+- Add `engram landmines` CLI (`mistakes` alias + decay + density ranking)
+- Budget-allocator scoring boost for files with recent mistakes
+- Cross-session mistake-replay after PreCompact
+- Ship 5 new bench tasks that explicitly measure "mistake avoidance"
+- Reposition all marketing copy on cirvgreen.com/products/engram
+
+## Acceptance criteria (placeholder — v3.0 spec to be written after v2.2 ships)
+
+- [ ] Mistakes density visible in `engram stats` and dashboard
+- [ ] Confidence decay tested on synthetic 90-day timeline
+- [ ] "Landmine avoidance" bench tasks — measurable % improvement
+- [ ] cirvgreen.com/products/engram rewritten around new tagline
+- [ ] Reddit launch: r/LocalLLaMA (the one we ratioed) + r/ClaudeCode + r/mcp + HN
+
+---
+
+# Release rhythm
+
+```
+Week 1 → v2.1 ships (Reliability + Zero-Friction Install)
+Week 1-3 → v2.2 designed + built (Spine / Serena)
+Week 3 → v2.2 ships
+Week 3-7 → v3.0 designed + built (Landmines / R2)
+Week 7 → v3.0 ships — the authoritative reposition moment
+```
+
+Three launches in ~7 weeks. Each standalone-useful. Each building credibility for the next.
+
+## Success metrics (per release)
+
+| Metric | v2.1 | v2.2 | v3.0 |
+|--------|------|------|------|
+| npm weekly downloads (target) | 1.8K (+40%) | 3K | 6K |
+| GitHub stars (target) | +50 | +100 | +300 |
+| Reddit post score | ≥50 on r/ClaudeCode | ≥100 on r/LocalLLaMA | ≥300 on r/LocalLLaMA |
+| Retention proxy (downloads 7d after non-launch day) | 15/day | 25/day | 60/day |
+| Active contributors | 2 → 3 | 3 → 4 | 4 → 6 |
+
+---
+
+# Non-goals (entire trilogy)
+
+- **No team/shared-graph feature.** Single-user remains the scope.
+- **No cloud backend.** Local-first is invariant.
+- **No embedding layer inside engram core.** Hybrid retrieval is a Serena-style-provider concern.
+- **No rename or npm repackaging.**
+- **No paid tier.** engram remains 100% Apache-2.0 through v3.0. Monetization, if ever, comes *after* distribution is proven.
+- **No backwards-incompat breakage.** v1.x graph.db auto-migrates all the way through v3.0.

Implements the v2.1 "seamless install" track — users on the 1.3K/week
organic install curve never hear about hotfixes today. This bridges the
gap without introducing any telemetry or auto-install surprise.
New subsystem at src/update/:
- check.ts — anonymous GET to registry.npmjs.org/engramx/latest.
Cached at ~/.engram/last-update-check for 7 days so we do not hammer
the registry on every CLI invocation. Strict semver compare handles
pre-release correctly (2.1.0 > 2.1.0-beta.1). 1.5s hard timeout on
the fetch so a flaky network never hangs a CLI invocation.
- install.ts — detects the package manager that owns the engram binary
via install-path substring markers (pnpm/yarn/bun/npm fallback).
Shells out to npm/pnpm/yarn/bun with execFileSync — no shell
interpretation, no injection surface. Package name is a compile-time
constant. --dry-run prints the exact command. --manager overrides
detection for edge cases.
- notify.ts — passive hint on any engram subcommand. Writes to stderr
so stdout stays clean for pipes and the intercept protocol. At most
one line per process. Silent when no cache exists (no cold-start
surprise), silent under \$CI or ENGRAM_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1.
Privacy invariants verified:
- Zero telemetry. No machine ID, no install count, no repo path sent.
- One GET per 7 days max, and only when user runs an engram command.
- Hint always goes to stderr, never stdout (protocol safety for
intercept).
- $CI and ENGRAM_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 both gate the entire subsystem.
Tests: 38 new tests across 3 files. All offline — opt-out path is
exercised to avoid live registry calls in CI.
Closes the "users never hear about hotfixes" half of the v2.1 spec.

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] =?UTF-8?q?feat(cli):=20engram=20doctor=20=E2=80=94=20?=
=?UTF-8?q?component=20health=20report=20with=20remediation?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Wraps the existing component-status.ts probes (HTTP, LSP, AST, IDE
adapters) plus four new checks (graph.db presence, Sentinel hook
installation, engram version freshness, IDE count) into a human
report with remediation hints.
Motivated by issue #11 — users have engram LSP enabled but the provider
silently reports unavailable. Doctor surfaces this on demand and prints
the exact fix. Every future silent-failure bug gets a new check added
here, making triage a single CLI invocation.
Features:
- engram doctor → human report with icons and summary
- engram doctor --verbose → include remediation hints for warn/fail
- engram doctor --json / --export → redacted JSON for bug reports,
projectRoot intentionally omitted (can contain usernames)
- Exit code reflects severity: 0 ok, 1 warn, 2 fail → CI-friendly
Checks:
- version (engram vX.Y.Z, flagged if cached newer version available)
- graph (.engram/graph.db present + size)
- hook (Sentinel hook in any .claude/settings*.json)
- http / lsp / ast providers (via component-status)
- ides (adapter count)
Severity aggregation = worst-case wins. All probes file-existence only,
no network calls — safe for CI.
Tests: 6 new tests covering report construction, severity aggregation,
verbose remediation output, JSON export redaction, and graph.db
detection.

Subject: [PATCH 4/9] feat(cli): engram setup + init --with-hook + first-run
hint
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Drops install-to-first-value from 4 commands to 1. Addresses the
"seamless install" track of v2.1 — the second half that matters as
much as reliability fixes for the 10/day organic install curve.
Three pieces:
1. engram setup — first-run wizard
Runs init → install-hook → detects IDE adapters → verifies via
doctor. Each step idempotent, skips cleanly if already done.
Interactive prompts by default; --yes for non-interactive, --dry-run
prints intent without acting. Exit code reflects doctor severity.
2. engram init --with-hook
Shorthand for init + install-hook in one invocation. The #1 thing
every user does after init was install-hook; now it is one step.
3. First-run hint
On any engram subcommand invoked in a repo lacking .engram/graph.db,
print one line to stderr: "💡 First time in this repo? Run
engram setup for a zero-friction install." Throttled via
~/.engram/first-run-shown — fires once per machine, not per repo.
Skipped in \$CI and under JSON-stdout-producing commands
(intercept, cursor-intercept, hud-label).
New file src/setup/detect.ts detects Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf,
Continue.dev, Aider from config-file presence. Used by both the wizard
and engram doctor.
CLI wiring also adds the passive update-notify call alongside the
first-run hint, both gated by the same FIRST_RUN_SILENT_CMDS set so
neither pollutes the intercept protocol.
Tests: 6 new detection tests. Wizard itself is exercised end-to-end
via the doctor + init integration test surface already in place.

Subject: [PATCH 5/9] feat(intercept): Bash PostTool parser for auto-reindex
(issue #14)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Adds a strict parser for file-mutating Bash commands — rm, mv, cp,
git rm, git mv, and single-redirect commands. Returns a list of
FileOp { action: "reindex" | "prune", path: absolute } that the
PostToolUse dispatch path will hand to syncFile() from watcher.ts.
This is HALF of issue #14. The other half is the dispatch wire-up
(route PostToolUse:Bash through this parser and invoke syncFile for
each op) which depends on PR #13's --auto-reindex flag landing first.
The parser ships standalone so it is review-ready and test-complete
before #13 merges.
Parser philosophy (mirrors handlers/bash.ts PreToolUse):
STRICT. Any ambiguity → passthrough. False negatives cost tokens;
false positives corrupt the graph. Optimize for the latter.
Supported shapes (intercepted):
rm [-rf] [...] → prune each
mv → prune src, reindex dst
cp → reindex dst
git rm [-r] → prune
git mv → prune src, reindex dst
> → reindex dst (single redirect)
>> → reindex dst (single redirect)
Intentionally NOT supported (pass through):
- globs (rm *.ts)
- pipes (find . | xargs rm)
- subshells / command substitution (\$(…), backticks, <(…), >(…))
- touch (empty file, nothing to index)
- directory-level ops (needs directory-prefix prune primitive,
tracked for v2.2)
Tests: 29 new tests across rm/mv/cp/git-rm/git-mv variants,
redirections, pass-through edge cases, and the high-level
handleBashPostTool wrapper.

+/**
+ * PostToolUse:Bash handler — widens auto-reindex to cover Bash file ops.
+ *
+ * Closes issue #14. When an agent runs `rm src/foo.ts` / `mv a.ts b.ts` /
+ * `git rm`, the existing Edit|Write|MultiEdit matcher misses it and
+ * the graph drifts out of sync with disk. This handler parses a whitelist
+ * of file-mutating Bash commands and synthesizes reindex events.
+ *
+ * Philosophy (mirrors handlers/bash.ts PreToolUse parser):
+ * - STRICT parser. Anything ambiguous passes through untouched.
+ * - Silent-skip on non-code paths, non-indexed files, ignored dirs.
+ * - Never blocks Claude Code — errors resolve to "no-op".
+ *
+ * Supported shapes:
+ * rm [-rf] -> prune
+ * rm [-rf] ... -> prune each
+ * mv -> prune src, reindex dst
+ * cp -> reindex dst
+ * git rm [-r] -> prune
+ * git mv -> prune src, reindex dst
+ * cat > (1 redirect) -> reindex dst
+ * echo > (1 redirect) -> reindex dst
+ *
+ * Intentionally NOT supported (pass-through):
+ * - globs, pipes, subshells, backticks, command substitution
+ * - `touch` (empty file, nothing to index)
+ * - directory-level ops (need prefix-prune primitive — v2.2 territory)

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] fix: issue #11 AST grammar detection + LSP socket
coverage + wire bash-postool
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Closes #11 — AST/LSP reported unavailable despite enabled
Credit: Tommaso Tessarolo (@ttessarolo) — precise forensics + suggested fix.
### checkAst: flattened-bundle path resolution
When tsup/esbuild flattens the CLI into `engramx/dist/chunk-*.js`,
import.meta.url resolves `here = engramx/dist`. The previous candidates:
- `here + '../grammars'` → engramx/grammars (✗ does not exist)
- `here + '../../dist/grammars'` → parent/dist/grammars (✗ does not exist)
Fix: add `join(here, "grammars")` as the FIRST candidate. This resolves
to `engramx/dist/grammars/` where grammars actually ship. Dev-time
layout (src/intercept/) still works via the third candidate.
### checkLsp: socket candidates out of sync
The check only looked for `tsserver.sock` and `typescript-language-server.sock`,
but `lsp-connection.ts::candidateSockets()` also probes:
- tsserver-.sock
- lsp-server.sock
- pyright-.sock
- rust-analyzer.sock
Also: the `.engram/lsp-available` flag was documented as "written by
the lsp provider on successful connection" but no code path writes it.
Kept the marker as an explicit user opt-in (back-compat) but synced
the socket list with lsp-connection.ts so HUD availability matches
actual provider availability.
### Regression test
tests/intercept/component-status-11.test.ts — asserts refreshComponentStatus
returns a boolean for every scenario + honors the .engram/lsp-available
marker.
## Wires bash-postool into PostToolUse (issue #14 full wire-up)
With @gabiudrescu's PR #12 already merged, syncFile() is available.
We can wire the v2.1 Bash parser into the PostToolUse observer path
without waiting for PR #13's install-hook --auto-reindex flag.
- post-tool.ts imports handleBashPostTool + syncFile.
- On PostToolUse with tool=Bash, parse the command; for each FileOp,
call syncFile(absPath, projectRoot) fire-and-forget.
- Gated by ENGRAM_AUTO_REINDEX=1 (opt-in) until PR #13 lands and we
can migrate to the install-hook flag.
- Observer semantics preserved: never blocks the PostToolUse response,
errors swallowed, never surfaces bugs to Claude Code.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
- README: lead Quickstart with 'engram setup' one-command flow.
Keep the individual commands as a sub-example for users who prefer
the explicit path. Add a diagnostics+update block so first-time
users know the surface.
- CHANGELOG: document the full v2.1 'Reliability + Zero-Friction
Install' track under [Unreleased] — update / doctor / setup,
init --with-hook flag, first-run hint, Bash PostTool parser +
wire-up, plus the #11 AST path + LSP socket fixes.
No code changes — ships with the v2.1 feature set already on this
branch.

## [Unreleased]
+### Added — v2.1 "Reliability + Zero-Friction Install" track
+
+- **`engram update`** — one-command self-upgrade.
+ Passive notify on every `engram *` invocation when a newer version is
+ available (cached, at most one line on stderr, throttled to a 7-day
+ registry check). Manual trigger detects the package manager that owns
+ the engram install (npm / pnpm / yarn / bun via install-path markers)
+ and shells out to its global-upgrade command. `--check` for dry-probe,
+ `--force` to bypass the 7-day throttle, `--dry-run` to print the
+ upgrade command without executing it, `--manager ` override.
+ Zero telemetry: the only network call is an anonymous GET to
+ `registry.npmjs.org/engramx/latest`. `ENGRAM_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1` and
+ `$CI` disable the entire subsystem. Addresses the "1,300 weekly
+ downloads, 10/day organic, near-zero hotfix reach" problem.
+
+- **`engram doctor`** — component health report with remediation hints.
+ Wraps existing probes (HTTP, LSP, AST, IDE adapters) plus four new
+ checks: engram version freshness, `.engram/graph.db` presence,
+ Sentinel hook installation, IDE adapter count. Each check emits
+ severity (ok / warn / fail) + detail + optional remediation. Exit
+ code reflects overall severity (0 ok, 1 warn, 2 fail) so `doctor`
+ is CI-friendly. `--verbose` shows remediation hints; `--json` /
+ `--export` emits redacted JSON for bug-report attachment
+ (`projectRoot` intentionally omitted — can contain usernames).
+
+- **`engram setup`** — zero-friction first-run wizard. One command for
+ "go from cloned repo to working engram in under 30 seconds."
+ Runs `init` (if `.engram/graph.db` missing) → `install-hook` (with
+ prompted scope, `local` default) → detects IDE adapters (Cursor,
+ Windsurf, Continue.dev, Aider) and suggests the matching `gen-*`
+ command for each → finishes with a `doctor` summary. Each step is
+ idempotent. `--yes` runs with defaults; `--dry-run` prints intent
+ without acting; `--scope` controls the install-hook scope. Drops
+ install-to-first-value from 4 commands to 1.
+
+- **`engram init --with-hook`** — shorthand for `init` followed by
+ `install-hook` (local scope, idempotent). The #1 thing every user
+ does after `init` was `install-hook`; now it's one step.
+
+- **First-run hint.** On any `engram` subcommand invoked in a repo
+ lacking `.engram/graph.db`, print one line on stderr:
+ `💡 First time in this repo? Run 'engram setup' for a zero-friction install.`
+ Throttled via `~/.engram/first-run-shown` (fires once per machine,
+ not per repo). Silenced in `$CI`, under `ENGRAM_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1`,
+ and under the JSON-stdout commands (`intercept`, `cursor-intercept`,
+ `hud-label`, `setup`, `init`, `update`, `doctor`) so neither
+ pollutes the hook protocol.
+
+- **Bash PostToolUse parser for auto-reindex** — closes half of
+ [#14](https://github.com/NickCirv/engram/issues/14).
+ `src/intercept/handlers/bash-postool.ts` parses file-mutating Bash
+ commands (`rm`, `mv`, `cp`, `git rm`, `git mv`, single-redirect
+ ` > `) into `FileOp { action, path }` records. Strict
+ parser: globs, pipes, subshells, command-substitution, directory
+ ops, and `touch` all pass through untouched. Wired into the
+ PostToolUse observer path in `handlers/post-tool.ts` — on Bash
+ PostToolUse events, each op is handed to `syncFile()` fire-and-forget.
+ Gated by `ENGRAM_AUTO_REINDEX=1` opt-in until
+ [#13](https://github.com/NickCirv/engram/pull/13)'s install-hook
+ `--auto-reindex` flag lands; that flag will toggle the env gate
+ implicitly.
+
+### Fixed — v2.1 reliability
+
+- **AST grammar detection in flattened bundles**
+ ([#11](https://github.com/NickCirv/engram/issues/11) partial).
+ When `tsup`/`esbuild` flattens chunks to `engramx/dist/chunk-*.js`,
+ `import.meta.url` resolves to `engramx/dist` and the previous
+ candidates (`../grammars` and `../../dist/grammars`) both missed the
+ actual grammar dir. Added `join(here, "grammars")` as the first
+ candidate; dev-time layout (`src/intercept/`) still works via the
+ third candidate. Thanks [@ttessarolo](https://github.com/ttessarolo).
+
+- **LSP socket candidate coverage**
+ ([#11](https://github.com/NickCirv/engram/issues/11) partial).
+ `checkLsp` was looking for two socket names while
+ `lsp-connection.ts::candidateSockets()` probes six. Synced the list
+ so HUD availability matches actual provider availability. Kept
+ `.engram/lsp-available` as an explicit user opt-in marker for
+ back-compat.
+
### Fixed

Subject: [PATCH 8/9] test(bash-postool): platform-aware expected paths for
Windows CI
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Windows CI on PR #15 failed all 22 bash-postool assertions because
expected values were hard-coded as POSIX paths (`/proj/src/foo.ts`)
while the implementation calls `path.resolve()` which returns
platform-native paths — backslashes on Windows, forward slashes on
POSIX systems.
Fix: build expected values through `path.resolve` the same way the
implementation does. The test now captures the platform-native cwd
once and derives expected absolute paths from it, so the same source
asserts correctly on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
The implementation itself is unchanged — `pathResolve` already does
the right thing per platform. This was purely a cross-platform test
hygiene issue.
Also swapped the hard-coded `/tmp/foo.ts` absolute-path test for a
platform-resolved equivalent so Windows doesn't choke on missing
drive prefix.

Subject: [PATCH 9/9] fix: ESM require() runtime bug + empty setup suggestions
block
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Bug 1 — doctor.checkHook always reported "not found" in production
Root cause: three functions in src/doctor/report.ts, two in
src/setup/detect.ts, and one in src/setup/wizard.ts used bare
require() calls at runtime — but tsup bundles to ESM where require
is undefined. The ReferenceError was caught by each function's own
catch block and silently treated as "check failed," so:
- doctor reported "Sentinel hook not found" even after a successful
install-hook (verified live against a fresh tmp project)
- detect.ts's Claude Code detection reported configured=false even
when the hook was wired
- setup --user scope would hit "homedir is not a function"
Why tests passed: vitest's test runtime provides CommonJS interop so
require() works in test environment. The bundled CLI doesn't.
v2.0.1 shipped a similar "CI-passed, prod-broken" pattern for a
different reason; this is the same class of bug.
Fix: move every require() to a proper top-level ESM import.
- report.ts: import readFileSync + cachePath/isNewer at top
- detect.ts: import readFileSync at top
- wizard.ts: import readFileSync, writeFileSync, mkdirSync, dirname,
homedir at top
Verified live:
$ engram setup -y -p /tmp/fresh-project
✓ Sentinel hook installed
✓ hook Sentinel hook active (via /tmp/fresh-project/.claude/settings.local.json)
## Bug 2 — empty "Next steps for detected IDEs:" block
When only Claude Code was detected-but-unconfigured (and there's no
suggest entry for Claude Code because install-hook handles it in
step 2), the wizard printed "Next steps for detected IDEs:" with
no subsequent lines.
Fix: collect suggestions first. If the list is empty, either:
- skip with "Claude Code hook declined" if Claude Code is the
culprit (user declined hook install in step 2)
- done with "no additional adapters needed" otherwise
The header line only prints when there's at least one actionable
suggestion.
## Audit result
While auditing for this bug I grepped every new file for `require(`
and found 7 offenders across 3 files. All fixed in one commit.
No other ESM-interop issues found.
Verified: 746/746 tests still pass, lint clean, build clean, live
E2E test of setup → doctor → Bash auto-reindex all behave
correctly. Bash PostToolUse with ENGRAM_AUTO_REINDEX=1 successfully
prunes the graph when the underlying file is rm'd.
