From 54d43df8a19117d9283af5ba63e64395785d9ae6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: lex0c Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 20:07:59 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/29] Add timezone normalization, rename tracking, and churn-risk labels MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three cross-cutting changes plus correctness corrections surfaced in review: 1. UTC buckets, local-TZ working patterns. All cross-commit aggregations (monthly/weekly/yearly buckets, active days, first/last dates, trend cutoff) now format with .UTC() so commits at the same UTC instant in different local offsets land in the same bucket. workGrid and the per-dev work grid intentionally keep local TZ — they describe the author's work rhythm, not UTC instants. 2. Rename tracking via finalize-time reconciliation. git log is newest-first, so rename edges (status R*) are captured during stream and resolved in a second pass. File entries, coupling pairs/denom, and contributor file sets are re-keyed onto canonical (latest) paths. Chains A→B→C collapse. Self-pairs are dropped. Cycle guard prevents infinite loops on degenerate A→B→A. Validated on pi-hole, praat, WordPress, and kubernetes (merge counts align with rename events). 3. Churn-risk reframed from a single risk_score to classification labels: cold / active / active-core / silo / legacy-hotspot. Ranking is now by recent_churn desc (tiebreak: lower bus factor). The composite risk_score field is retained for CI gate back-compat but flagged in docs as divergent from the label semantics. Honesty corrections: - DirectoryStats.Commits renamed to FileTouches. Prior name implied distinct commits but the value was the sum of per-file commit counts (one commit touching N files contributes N). Breaking change for consumers reading JSON/CSV by field name. - DeveloperNetwork adds SharedLines = Σ min(linesA, linesB) across shared files. Primary sort is now SharedLines desc. SharedFiles kept as legacy field. Trivial one-line overlaps no longer dominate. - Classification thresholds extracted to named constants (classify*, contrib*). - extract warns when the repo has .mailmap but --mailmap was not set. - docs/METRICS.md gains caveats on: --mailmap default, --ignore desync between commit-level and file-level totals, TZ spoofing in working patterns, --since + firstChange interaction, classification degenerate edges (cycle, single-file, identical-churn). - README churn-risk example uses real pi-hole output (one sample per label). CI gate section flags --fail-on-churn-risk as legacy composite. New tests: TestActivityBucketUsesUTC, TestChurnTrend stability, TestRenameMergesHistory, TestRenameChain, TestRenameCollapsesCouplingSelfPair, TestRenameCycleDoesNotCrash, TestRenameDevFilesTouchedUsesCanonical, TestRenameDedupPrefersChronologicallyNewest, TestClassifyFile, TestDeveloperNetworkSharedLinesWeighsRealOverlap. All existing tests pass. go vet clean.

Ties on integer keys (BusFactor=1, Commits=1 on patchwork activity) are ubiquitous in real repos — this is why the CLI JSON output and the HTML report were showing different top-N files for the same dataset. Six functions gained a stable secondary key: BusFactor bus_factor asc, then path asc FileHotspots commits desc, then path asc TopContributors commits desc, then email asc DirectoryStats file_touches desc, then dir asc TopCommits lines_changed desc, then sha asc DevProfiles commits desc, then email asc Three functions already had tiebreakers (ChurnRisk, FileCoupling, DeveloperNetwork) — left alone. Tests: - TestAllSortsDeterministicUnderTies: table-driven, runs each of the six sort functions 20 times on a fixture where every primary sort key ties (6 files at bf=1, 6 devs at commits=1, 3 dirs at file_touches=2, etc.). Fails if any iteration produces a different ordering. - TestBusFactorOrderDeterministicUnderTies: focused regression on the original finding, also asserts path-asc tiebreaker. Sanity-checked that the fixture actually triggers non-determinism when a tiebreaker is removed (ran BusFactor without tiebreaker across 50 iters and observed divergent orderings). The determinism test is not vacuous. Validated CLI JSON vs HTML report coherence across pi-hole, praat, WordPress, kubernetes — all four now produce identical top-N orderings between the two outputs.

The existing "80% of commits" card amplifies these distortions. Rather than replace it (substituting a churn-only lens would trade one bias — frequent committers — for another — verbose authors and generated-file writers), surface both. ParetoData gains DevsPct80Churn and TopChurnDevs computed by re-sorting contributors on additions+deletions with an email-asc tiebreaker. Divergence between the two cards is the actual signal: - aligned cards (pi-hole: 17 ≈ 17) → consistent contributor base - commits ≫ churn (k8s: 267 vs 132) → bots or merge-squash inflation - churn ≫ commits would indicate single heavy-feature authors HTML report adds a second Devs card below the commits one with a hint explaining how to read the divergence. CLI Pareto output splits the Devs line into "Devs (commits)" and "Devs (churn)". TestComputePareto updated to assert the new field is populated and percentages stay in [0, 100].

When total commits (or total churn) is zero across all contributors, the 80% threshold is zero too. The first loop iteration then tripped `cumulative >= 0` and incremented TopCommitDevs / TopChurnDevs to 1 before breaking. Result: "1 dev produces 80% of 0 churn" — which then passed through the guards and rendered in the HTML card alongside a 0% judgment. Visible only on pathological datasets (all-merge repos, empty-commit streams) but non-trivial to diagnose when it occurs. Guard by skipping the loop entirely when the aggregate is zero. Apply to both the commits path (pre-existing latent bug) and the new churn path. 2. The HTML card for the churn lens used `eq .Pareto.TotalDevs 0` as the no-data signal, mirroring the sibling cards. But with contributors present and zero churn, TotalDevs > 0 while the metric itself has no signal — the 🔴 "extremely concentrated" branch fired for 0%. Switch the churn card to check `TopChurnDevs 0` directly, which after fix #1 correctly stays at 0 in the zero-churn case. Tests: - TestComputeParetoDivergenceBotVsAuthor: 100 tiny bot commits + 3 big human commits. Asserts both lenses identify 1 dev as the 80% owner — the distinction is which dev each lens picks, confirmed by exercising both code paths independently. - TestComputeParetoZeroChurn: all-empty commits (0 adds, 0 dels). Asserts TopChurnDevs stays 0 rather than leaking to 1. This test fails before fix #1, passes after. Also trimmed the long inline comment on DevsPct80Churn in the struct and added a brief comment on the defensive `copy(byChurn, contribs)` to explain why we duplicate rather than mutate.

After commit b1861f0 (churn lens added), the section was stale — it omitted the second lens, the rationale (commits are biased by squash/bot workflows), and how to read divergence between the two cards. Rewrite the calculation table with three rows for the dev lenses, add a "Reading the divergence" block with concrete examples from the validated repos (pi-hole aligned, kubernetes 267 vs 132), and note that the no-data marker can now fire on either the commits or churn aggregate independently. Also add `pareto` to the stats table in README — pre-existing omission; the stat was reachable but undocumented in the command reference.

From f94b0afa6acf7f60c4549ff54fae9137af47114e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: lex0c Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 20:45:13 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 08/29] Filter mechanical refactors from coupling pair accumulation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Co-change in the same commit was counted as coupling regardless of the commit's character. A global rename or format pass touching 30 files generated 435 spurious pairs per commit, drowning the real signal from focused multi-file changes. Add a heuristic in flushCoupling: when a commit touches ≥ refactorMinFiles (10) with mean per-file churn < refactorMaxChurnPerFile (5 lines), treat it as mechanical and skip pair counting. The individual file-change counts (couplingFileChanges, surfaced as ChangesA/ChangesB in the output) are still incremented — only the pair accumulation is suppressed. This preserves honest "how often does this file change" totals while removing the combinatorial noise. Tests: - TestCouplingExcludesMechanicalRefactor: a commit with 10 files × 1 line each must NOT contribute pairs; a normal multi-file commit on the same files must; and file-change denominators must include both commits (honest totals). - TestCouplingKeepsNormalMultiFileCommits: counter-test with 10 files × 50 lines must still produce all 45 pairs — the filter only catches the low-churn pattern. METRICS.md coupling section updated with the refactor-filter rule, a "co-change is not causation" caveat, and the two new thresholds in the constants table. Validated on pi-hole, praat, WordPress, kubernetes — top coupling pairs remain sensible (test ↔ impl, .cpp ↔ .h, generated types ↔ sources).

Add TestCouplingRefactorFilterBoundaries — table-driven, six cases: - 9 files zero churn → NOT filtered (below refactorMinFiles) - 10 files zero churn (pure rename pattern) → filtered - 10 files × 4 lines (mean 4.0) → filtered - 10 files × 5 lines (mean 5.0 exactly) → NOT filtered (strict `<`) - 10 files × 6 lines (mean 6.0) → NOT filtered - 20 files × 50 lines (substantial refactor) → NOT filtered Each case also asserts that couplingFileChanges (the denominator) is incremented for every file regardless of filter outcome — the honest- totals invariant was implicit before. Also document a real limitation in METRICS.md: a commit mixing many low-churn renames with a few high-churn substantive edits can have a mean that escapes the filter. Per-file weighting would fix it but requires restructuring pair generation; flagged as an acknowledged limitation rather than a planned change so readers know the blast radius of the current heuristic.

Extract isMechanicalRefactor(fileCount, commitChurn) helper. The filter condition was inlined in flushCoupling, mixing the check with the early-return; a named predicate reads cleaner and is directly callable from tests if needed later. 2. Clarify the refactorMaxChurnPerFile constant comment: the unit is line-churn (additions + deletions), and the comparison is strict `<`, so mean exactly 5.0 is NOT filtered. The constant name alone suggested "5 lines" without specifying which count. 3. Add TestCouplingRenameBelowFilterThreshold pinning down the interaction between rename tracking and the refactor filter: a commit renaming 8 files (below refactorMinFiles) leaks pairs to the canonical path space. CoChanges = 1 per pair, so sensible `--coupling-min-changes` thresholds hide them, but raw ds.couplingPairs contains them. The test exists so any future tightening of the filter is a conscious, test-backed change. 4. Document three caveats in METRICS.md that were implicit: - rename commits below the refactor-filter fileCount threshold leak pairs (current behavior, validated by #3 above) - `--coupling-max-files` below 10 runs first and makes the refactor filter dead code — correct layering but non-obvious Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) --- docs/METRICS.md | 4 ++++ internal/stats/reader.go | 25 +++++++++++++++--------- internal/stats/stats.go | 5 ++++- internal/stats/stats_test.go | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/METRICS.md b/docs/METRICS.md index 1a5fc28..d9504da 100644 --- a/docs/METRICS.md +++ b/docs/METRICS.md @@ -99,6 +99,10 @@ Based on Adam Tornhill's ["Your Code as a Crime Scene"](https://pragprog.com/tit > **Caveat — co-change is not causation.** Two files changing in the same commit proves they were touched by the same unit of work, not that one depends on the other.

DevProfiles inner sorts (TopFiles, Scope, Collaborators) had no tiebreakers. The outer profile list got one in 2b20ef0 but the three slices *inside* each profile remained non-deterministic on ties. A dev with many files at equal churn would show different top-10 between CLI and HTML, and between two CLI runs. Add path / dir / email asc tiebreakers to all three. 2. churnTrend returned 2 ("growing from nothing") for every file when the dataset span is shorter than the trend window. Under a tight --since filter (say 1 month against a 3-month window), no file can have an "earlier" bucket, so the baseline was empty → all files falsely flagged as growing. Add an earliest-date parameter and short-circuit to 1 (no signal) when earliestKey >= cutoffKey. 3. ChurnRisk, FileCoupling, and DeveloperNetwork had primary + secondary sort keys but no final tiebreaker. When both ties — not uncommon, since BusFactor and SharedFiles are small integers — the order depends on Go map iteration. Add path / file-pair / dev-pair asc as the tertiary tiebreaker. Tests: - TestDevProfilesInnerSortsDeterministic: crafted dataset with ties on churn (TopFiles), file count (Scope), and shared-files (Collaborators). Runs DevProfiles 20x and asserts identical inner slices each time, plus the specific asc orderings. - TestChurnTrend extended with a short-span case: two months of data, 3-month window. Previously returned 2, must now return 1. - Existing TestChurnTrend cases updated to pass an earliest parameter that is well before the window (no behavioral change for them). Validated on pi-hole and kubernetes: two consecutive stats runs produce byte-identical churn-risk output.

DevProfile.Collab- orators kept the old SharedFiles-only semantics, so the two views over the same developer-to-developer relationship disagreed: devs with many one-line touches on shared files ranked highly on a profile but not on the network. Close the gap: DevCollaborator gains SharedLines (same formula), primary sort becomes SharedLines desc with SharedFiles as the secondary and Email as the tertiary tiebreaker. HTML templates (repo-level profile card and standalone profile report) now show both counts so the honest signal is visible. Tests: - TestDevProfilesCollaboratorsSharedLines: Alice co-edits two files with Bob (trivial: 1 line each file) and Carol (substantive: 500 lines each). SharedFiles ties at 2 for both; SharedLines correctly ranks Carol (1000) over Bob (2). - TestFileCouplingTertiaryTiebreaker, TestDeveloperNetworkTertiary- Tiebreaker, TestChurnRiskTertiaryTiebreaker: craft datasets where both primary and secondary sort keys tie, assert deterministic asc ordering on the tertiary key. These cover the tertiary tiebreakers added in 557f6c7 that had no dedicated test. Validated on WordPress: `ryan@...` top collaborator shifted from `azaozz` (567 files, 118k lines) to `wp@andrewnacin` (467 files, 131k lines) — the new ordering correctly weights real overlap, matching what DeveloperNetwork already showed.

The fix for zero-churn devs landed in 3270090, but that commit scoped the guard to the two devs code paths and left three siblings stale: 1. cmd/gitcortex/main.go — the CLI was calling judge() with p.TotalDevs / p.TotalFiles / p.TotalDirs as the zero-check. Those are non-zero as long as the dataset has any contributors / files / directories, regardless of whether the churn/commits signal is present. Passing p.TopCommitDevs, p.TopChurnDevs, p.TopChurnFiles, and p.TopChurnDirs instead makes the "no data" branch fire exactly when the corresponding signal is absent. 2. internal/report/report.go — ComputePareto's Files and Dirs 80% loops had the same zero-threshold-tripped-on-first-iteration bug I already fixed for devs. A merge-only or pure-rename dataset (non-empty ds.files with all zero churn) used to leave TopChurnFiles = 1 and TopChurnDirs = 1 after the loop, with percentages of 1/TotalFiles and 1/TotalDirs rendered as "extremely concentrated". Add `if totalChurn > 0` / `if totalDirChurn > 0` guards mirroring the devs fix. 3. internal/report/template.go — the HTML Files and Dirs cards used `eq .Pareto.TotalFiles 0` / `eq .Pareto.TotalDirs 0` as the no-data signal, same bug class as the devs card I fixed in 3270090 but that I missed for the other two dimensions. Switch them to `eq .Pareto.TopChurnFiles 0` / `eq .Pareto.TopChurnDirs 0`. The commits-devs card also gets the same treatment (`eq .Pareto.TopCommitDevs 0`) for consistency with the churn-devs card I fixed in 3270090. Tests: - TestComputeParetoFilesAndDirsZeroChurn: JSONL with two files, both commit_file records having additions=0 and deletions=0. TotalFiles must be 2 (the files exist), but TopChurnFiles, FilesPct80Churn, TopChurnDirs, and DirsPct80Churn must all be 0 (no signal). Validated on kubernetes: Pareto output identical to pre-fix on real data (guard only fires on the zero path). CLI on the synthetic zero-churn dataset now prints "no data" on Files, Devs (churn), and Dirs lines — no false alarms.

This silently misattributed history whenever a repo reused a path name: t1: A exists, is renamed to B t2: a new unrelated file is created at "A" t3: that new A is renamed to D JSONL yields edges [{A→D}, {A→B}]. ds.files["A"] at finalize time already contains commits from BOTH lineages (the path key can't hold them separately), so any migration spreads one lineage into the wrong target. The old dedup sent ds.files["A"] to D, leaving B without its pre-rename history and D polluted with commits that belong to B. Fix: pre-count oldPath occurrences and skip migration entirely for any oldPath that appears more than once. Without per-commit temporal tracking we cannot disambiguate lineages, and underattribution (both targets miss their pre-rename history, and ds.files["A"] stays put with the merged-at-ingest-time lineages) is strictly safer than misattribution into the wrong target. A full fix requires oldest-first stream processing so ds.files["A"] can be forked into separate entries at each rename event. That is a larger architectural change; flagged as a known limitation in METRICS.md. Tests: - TestRenameSkipsReusedOldPath: replaces the prior TestRenameDedupPrefersChronologicallyNewest, which asserted the exact behavior that was wrong. Same dataset shape; new assertions verify A remains in place and neither B nor D receives A's data. - TestRenameChainNotMistakenForReuse: guards against over-correction — a genuine A→B→C chain has distinct oldPaths, must still merge. Validated on four real repos: TotalFiles ticked up across all of them (pi-hole +4, praat +2, WordPress +27, kubernetes +81), corresponding to lineages that were previously being misattributed and now stay put.

Under the old behavior both A-edges got dropped, so the chain stopped collapsing and B's history sat orphaned on a stale path instead of rolling up into C. Refine the detection: an oldPath is treated as reuse only when its count is > 1 AND no edge has it as a newPath. The second condition catches the rename-back pattern — a duplicate oldPath that is itself the target of another edge belongs to a chain, not to two unrelated lineages. The heuristic is exact for these two common cases (pure reuse, rename-back chain) and imperfect on exotic mixed cases (e.g. A→B, C→A, A→D) which are now flagged as chains and will misattribute one lineage — a known limitation documented in METRICS.md.

Previously the "first seen wins" rule silently depended on git log emitting newest-first; if the extractor ever switched to --reverse or a future format change reshuffled the stream, dedup would flip to "oldest wins" and chain collapses would resolve in the wrong direction. The sort makes the invariant explicit rather than implicit. Adds a commitDate field to renameEdge, captured from ds.commits[SHA]. Zero behavior change on current data (pi-hole 211, praat 10707, WordPress 8106, kubernetes 75839 — identical to pre-sort). 2. Rename `hasIncomingRename` → `isRenameTarget` and extract the reuse-detection condition into named booleans `isDuplicate` / `wasRecreated` for readability. The original single-line expression with a negation required mental inversion to parse. 3. New TestRenameMixedLineageKnownLimitation pins the current (imperfect) behavior on the exotic case A→B then C→A then A→D. The heuristic can't tell this apart from a rename-back chain and misattributes lineage 1's pre-rename commits to D. The test documents the outcome so any future fix (proper temporal segmentation) updates it consciously rather than silently drifting to a different wrong answer. 4. TestRenameCycleDoesNotCrash now also asserts that both A.go and B.go survive the cycle bail — previously it only checked that streamLoad didn't return an error, which would have missed a bug that silently routed one file into the other.

It forced trend=1 (no signal) for any file with churn concentrated in a single month, silencing exactly the strongest classification inputs: - earlier-only: a file touched only before the trend cutoff should return 0 (declined to nothing) and flag old concentrated files as legacy-hotspot. Under the old guard, these files stayed at silo. - recent-only: a file touched only inside the trend window should return 2 (grew from nothing). Functionally already reachable for multi-month recent-only cases, but silenced for single-month ones. Change the guard to `len == 0` — a truly empty map is the only case that should short-circuit to neutral. Run the recent/earlier split for any non-empty history. Added an explicit `if recent == 0 { return 0 }` branch for symmetry with the existing recent-only branch (the division would already yield 0.0 naturally, but making the "declined to nothing" case explicit matches the docstring and code reads closer to the intent). Tests: TestChurnTrend extended with two single-month cases, one old (earlier-only, want 0) and one recent (recent-only, want 2). Both failed under the old guard; both pass now. Impact on real data is significant. Files touched once long ago and never again were being mis-classified as silo; under the fix they correctly become legacy-hotspot: pi-hole silo 14 → 0 legacy-hotspot 49 → 63 (+14) WordPress silo 333 → 305 legacy-hotspot 616 → 644 (+28) kubernetes silo 6402 → 235 legacy-hotspot 22848 → 29021 (+6173) The kubernetes shift is especially telling: a long-lived repo with thousands of files touched once in an early commit and never again. Those ARE legacy hotspots by the metric's own definition; the guard was hiding them.

The unit test (TestChurnTrend) checks churnTrend in isolation and TestClassifyFile checks classifyFile in isolation, but until now nothing verified the wiring inside ChurnRisk that connects them. If a future refactor accidentally passes the wrong arg to churnTrend (e.g. forgets ds.Earliest, or inverts the condition), this test catches it — the label would drop back to silo. 2. TestChurnTrend extended with a zero-value single-month case ({"2024-05":0}, possible when the only activity in a month is renames with no content change). Both buckets end up empty; defensive fallthrough must return 1 (no signal). Guards against a future refactor that treats zero-value entries as present. 3.

Detect by temporal signature: if ds.files[oldPath].lastChange is after the rename's commitDate, activity continued on oldPath past the rename — a second lineage was created. Skip migration. Guard with !wasRecreated to avoid false positives on rename-back chains (A→B→A→C) and cycles (A↔B), where the later rename commit legitimately updates ds.files[oldPath].lastChange to its own date. In those cases wasRecreated=true (some edge has newPath=oldPath) and the single-edge check is disabled; the multi-edge heuristic or the dedup handles the decision instead. Both dates must be non-zero for the check to apply — defensive behavior when hand-constructed fileEntries in tests lack timestamps. Tests: - TestRenameSkipsSingleEdgeReusedOldPath: one edge A→B, ds.files["A"] with lastChange after the rename → migration skipped, A survives, B keeps only its pre-existing data. - TestRenameCleanRenameStillMigrates: one edge A→B, lastChange(A) before the rename → migration proceeds, A merges into B. Counter- test guarding against over-correction. - Existing TestRenameCycleDoesNotCrash had failed under a first version of the check (it missed the !wasRecreated guard); now passes because A is a rename target in a cycle. Validated on four real repos — the additional pattern is common: pi-hole 211 → 214 (+3 lineages preserved) praat 10707 → 10783 (+76) WordPress 8106 → 8393 (+287) kubernetes 75839 → 76402 (+563) Nearly a thousand files across the four repos that had their new lineages silently absorbed into renamed targets now stay distinct.

A is both a rename target (via D→A) and a rename source (via A→B), so wasRecreated[A] was true, which disabled the reuse detection entirely. Replace the wasRecreated guard with a maxEdgeDate comparison: for each path, track the latest commitDate across ALL edges where the path appears (source or target), and fire the reuse check when ds.files[path].lastChange is after that maximum. This bounds the check correctly for both: - clean chain A→B: maxEdgeDate[A]=t1, lastChange ≤ t1, no skip. - rename-back A→B→A→C: maxEdgeDate[A]=t3, lastChange ≤ t3, no skip. - cycle A↔B: maxEdgeDate[A]=max(t1,t2), lastChange = later rename's date, equal to max — no skip, cycle bail handles it. - clean single-edge reuse: maxEdgeDate[A]=t1, lastChange > t1, skip. - chain + reuse (D→A, A→B, new-A): maxEdgeDate[A]=t2, lastChange > t2, skip. Previously misattributed the new-A lineage into B. Tests: - TestRenameChainPlusReuse pins the newly-detected case: D→A then A→B followed by reuse at A. A stays, D migrates through its own edge, B keeps only its own data. This failed under the previous wasRecreated-guarded check. - TestRenameSingleEdgeReuseViaStream exercises the simple single-edge reuse through the full streamLoadInto → applyRenames pipeline, covering the wiring that a direct ds.renameEdges test skips. - TestRenameMixedLineageKnownLimitation gains a note explaining that its fixture intentionally omits lastChange so the reuse check does not fire; adding lastChange would turn it into a chain+reuse test with a different expected outcome. Documented a new rename caveat: `--since` filter only computes the reuse heuristics (oldPathCounts, isRenameTarget, maxEdgeDate) over edges inside the filter window, so a rename outside the window can change whether reuse is detected vs full-history extraction. Real-data impact across four repos — both directions: pi-hole 214 → 215 (+1) praat 10783 → 10781 (-2) WordPress 8393 → 8368 (-25) kubernetes 76402 → 76538 (+136) Some paths previously skipped under the pure-commitDate check now pass the stricter maxEdgeDate bar (fewer entries); other paths that the wasRecreated guard silenced are now correctly flagged (more entries). Net effect is positive where chain+reuse patterns dominate (kubernetes) and mixed where the repo's rename shape is simpler (WordPress, praat).

The repeated `A` has no intermediate edge pointing at it. The two lineages are already conflated in `ds.files["A"]` at ingest time and cannot be disambiguated without per-commit temporal tracking. gitcortex **refuses to migrate** — `ds.files["A"]` stays put with merged lineages, and neither `B` nor `D` inherits data that could belong to the other lineage. This is underattribution but safer than misattribution. - **Rename-back chain (same lineage):** `A → B → A → C` — the repeated `A` is recreated by an explicit edge `B → A`, so the whole chain belongs to one lineage and collapses into `C`.

The reuse heuristics (`oldPathCounts`, `isRenameTarget`, `maxEdgeDate`) are computed only over edges *inside* the filter window, so a rename that happened outside the window cannot participate in the signal — `wasRecreated` may be false even when the repo history contains a recreation, which can cause the single-edge reuse check to fire (or not fire) differently than it would on the full history. -- **Path reuse vs rename-back:** duplicate `oldPath` edges can arise in two different ways. gitcortex distinguishes them: - - **Path reuse (different lineages):** `A → B` then an unrelated file is created at `A` and later renamed to `D`. The repeated `A` has no intermediate edge pointing at it. The two lineages are already conflated in `ds.files["A"]` at ingest time and cannot be disambiguated without per-commit temporal tracking. gitcortex **refuses to migrate** — `ds.files["A"]` stays put with merged lineages, and neither `B` nor `D` inherits data that could belong to the other lineage. This is underattribution but safer than misattribution. - - **Rename-back chain (same lineage):** `A → B → A → C` — the repeated `A` is recreated by an explicit edge `B → A`, so the whole chain belongs to one lineage and collapses into `C`. Detected by the presence of any edge whose `newPath` equals the duplicated `oldPath`. +- **Path reuse patterns.** gitcortex detects four distinct shapes where `oldPath` is ambiguous and handles each explicitly: - The heuristic is exact for these two common cases and imperfect on exotic mixed cases (e.g. `A → B` in one lineage, then `C → A` starting a second lineage, then `A → D`). Those are treated as chain and will misattribute one lineage — a known limitation that a full fix would require per-commit temporal segmentation to solve. + 1. **Multi-edge reuse (different lineages):** `A → B`, then later the name `A` is reused for an unrelated file that gets renamed to `D`.

Detected **temporally**: `ds.files["A"].lastChange` is after `maxEdgeDate[A]` (the latest commitDate of any edge involving `A`, as source or target). Activity on `A` that continued past every rename involving `A` means a new lineage.

The temporal check correctly fires because `lastChange(A) > maxEdgeDate[A]` (= `A → B` commit date). Real-data impact: 136 such files in the kubernetes snapshot. + + **Known limitation:** the exotic mixed pattern `A → B` (lineage 1), then `C → A` (lineage 2 recreation-via-rename), then `A → D` (lineage 2 renamed) — here `wasRecreated[A] = true` via `C → A`, `maxEdgeDate[A]` = `A → D` commit date, and typical `lastChange(A)` is bounded by that. The heuristic treats it as chain and misattributes lineage 1's pre-rename commits to `D`.

Added two new columns for the read-side operations (`stats --format json` and `report --output`) so the asymmetry between them is visible — the prior table only showed extract time. Notable divergence on large repos: report runs substantially slower than stats because DevProfiles builds per-dev profiles (O(D × C) work). On kubernetes that is ~80 extra seconds over stats; on linux it is ~20 extra minutes.

On kubernetes (5,295 devs × 75,823 files × ~3 devs-per-file avg) that's ~1.2 billion iterations. The HTML report, which builds profiles for every dev, spent most of its runtime here: 1m 29s on kubernetes vs 11.7s for the equivalent `stats --format json` path (which skips profiles). Pre-compute a single `allCollabs map[string]map[string]*collabAcc` in one pass over ds.files before entering the per-dev loop. For each file with ≥ 2 devs, enumerate unordered pairs and accumulate to both directions (a→b and b→a) so each dev's entry is O(1) to read later. Complexity drops to O(F × D_per_file²) = ~700k iterations on kubernetes, roughly three orders of magnitude less work. Inside the per-dev loop the 30-line inline computation is replaced with a three-line map lookup. Semantics unchanged: same min-per-file overlap for SharedLines, same SharedFiles count. Trade-off: peak memory holds one acc entry per ordered dev-pair that shares a file (~50 MB on kubernetes, ~150 MB on linux). Acceptable; flagged in the comment. Real-data speedups (same binary, same JSONLs): kubernetes 1m 29s → 14s (6.4×) chromium 2m 4s → 21s (5.9×) linux 21m 24s → 1m 53s (11.4×) Small repos (pi-hole, praat, WordPress) see no meaningful change — they were already <3 s and the old O(D × F × D_avg) was small enough to not matter. All 52 existing tests pass; spot-check on k8s-ci-robot's collaborator list confirmed identical values pre/post.

Rewrite the Performance section table with the new numbers and update the explanatory paragraph to match — the old paragraph framed report as slower than stats due to profile aggregation, which is no longer the story. New shape: report is now within a small constant multiple of stats across all six benchmarked repos (kubernetes ratio 14s/11.7s ≈ 1.2×, linux ratio 113s/75s ≈ 1.5×). The O(F × D_per_file²) pre-compute is cheap enough that building the full HTML dashboard is no longer meaningfully slower than running the aggregate. Also corrects stale developer counts from prior snapshots: Pi-hole 286 → 281, Praat 24 → 19.

The same incorrect claim was then cited in the new Vendor-and-generated-code section in README.md. The code disagrees. internal/extract/extract.go:242-279 (emitCommit) loops over commit.Raw, skips paths matched by --ignore, and computes totalAdd/totalDel/filesCount as the sum of the non-ignored entries before assigning them to the CommitInfo it writes to JSONL. The commit record emitted to the stream therefore already reflects the filter — downstream Summary totals match the file-level sums. Remove the bogus caveat from METRICS.md and rewrite the corresponding footnote in README.md to say the opposite: all totals stay consistent after --ignore because extract recalculates before writing.
