 # Architecture Guide: Structural Memory Protocol (SMP)
 
-The Structural Memory Protocol (SMP) is designed to provide AI agents with a "programmer's mental model" of a codebase. Unlike traditional RAG, which treats code as a series of text chunks, SMP treats code as a structured graph of interrelated entities.
+The Structural Memory Protocol (SMP) provides AI agents with a "programmer's mental model" of a codebase. Unlike traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) which treats code as a series of text chunks, SMP treats code as a structured, queryable graph of interrelated entities. 
+
+This document outlines the production architecture, ingestion pipeline, query engine, safety protocols, and implementation stack.
+
+---
 
-## 🎯 Design Goals
-- **Precision over Probability:** Replace "likely" text matches with "exact" structural relationships.
-- **Architectural Awareness:** Enable agents to understand domain boundaries and module coupling.
-- **Scalability:** Support massive codebases by routing queries to specific structural communities.
-- **Hybrid Truth:** Combine the "what the code says" (static) with "what the code does" (runtime).
+## 🎯 Architectural Principles
+1. **Precision over Probability:** Replace "likely" text matches with exact structural relationships.
+2. **Hybrid Truth:** Combine static analysis ("what the source says") with runtime eBPF telemetry ("what the kernel actually does").
+3. **No LLMs at Query Time:** Structural mapping, community routing, and relevance ranking are computed via graph topology and embeddings generated at *index* time.
+4. **Agent Safety by Design:** Agents must acquire MVCC sessions, pass integrity guards, and execute in sandboxes before touching the main codebase.

+## ⚙️ Part 1: The Ingestion Pipeline
 
 The ingestion pipeline transforms raw source code into a queryable knowledge graph.
 
 ### 1. Parser (AST Extraction)
-SMP uses **Tree-sitter** to perform fast, incremental parsing of multiple languages. It extracts high-level entities:
-- **Nodes:** Classes, Functions, Variables, Interfaces.
-- **Metadata:** Signatures, docstrings, modifiers (e.g., `async`, `export`).
-- **Dependencies:** Import statements and export lists.
+SMP uses **Tree-sitter** for fast, incremental parsing across multiple languages. It extracts high-level entities into strongly typed `msgspec.Struct` models:
+- **Nodes:** Files, Classes, Functions, Variables, Interfaces.
+- **Metadata:** Signatures, docstrings, decorators, complexity metrics.
+- **Dependencies:** Imports and exports.
 
 ### 2. Graph Builder & The Linker
-The Graph Builder creates the initial nodes and relationships. The **Linker** then resolves these relationships to ensure accuracy.
+The Graph Builder instantiates nodes in Neo4j. Senthil's Global Linker then resolves relationships to ensure graph accuracy.
+
+* **Static Linking (Namespaced Resolution):** 
+  To avoid ambiguity (e.g., two files having a `save()` function), the Linker uses the calling file's `imports` as a namespace map. It traces calls to their exact origin file, producing `CALLS_STATIC` edges marked `resolved: true`.
+* **Runtime Linking (eBPF Execution Traces):** 
+  Static analysis misses Dependency Injection and Metaprogramming. The Runtime Linker spawns a sandbox, executes tests, and captures kernel-level function traces via **eBPF**. These generate `CALLS_RUNTIME` edges in the graph.
+
+### 3. Static Enricher
+Extracts semantic metadata (docstrings, decorators, annotations) directly from the AST without LLMs. Embeddings are generated **once at index time** by concatenating `signature + docstring` and are stored in ChromaDB.
+
+### 4. Community Detection (Louvain)
+Uses the Louvain Algorithm via Neo4j GDS to partition the graph into two levels:
+* **Level 0 (Coarse):** Architectural domains (e.g., `api_gateway`, `data_layer`).
+* **Level 1 (Fine):** Functional modules (e.g., `auth_oauth`). Used by the Query Engine to restrict vector searches to specific community partitions.
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Part 2: The Query Engine (`SeedWalkEngine`)
+
+`SeedWalkEngine` implements a 5-phase Community-Routed Graph RAG pipeline for the `smp/locate` protocol.
+
+1. **Phase 0: Route**
+   Compares the query embedding against Level-1 Community Centroids in ChromaDB. If confidence is high ($>0.65$), the search is routed to a specific sub-graph (~200 nodes), eliminating massive codebase noise.
+2. **Phase 1: Seed**
+   Performs a vector search in ChromaDB, scoped to the routed community, to find the Top-K starting nodes based on their code signatures.
+3. **Phase 2: Walk**
+   Executes a single multi-hop Cypher traversal from the seed nodes. Follows `CALLS_STATIC`, `CALLS_RUNTIME`, `IMPORTS`, and `DEFINES` to pull structural context.
+4. **Phase 3: Rank**
+   Nodes are ranked using a composite score without LLMs:
+   $$Score = \alpha \cdot Vector + \beta \cdot NormalizedPageRank + \gamma \cdot HeatScore$$
+5. **Phase 4: Assemble**
+   Produces a ranked list of `RankedResult` objects and a `structural_map` (adjacency list) so the agent can visualize the execution chain.
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Part 3: Agent Safety & Concurrency
+
+SMP is the guardrail layer between autonomous agents and the codebase. Agents cannot touch files without SMP's approval.
+
+### 1. MVCC Sessions & Locks
+Agents request sessions (`smp/session/open`) targeting a specific `commit_sha`. For swarms, SMP uses Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) where agents operate in parallel, isolated sandboxes. Sequential file locking is reserved for blocking operations like database migrations.
+
+### 2. Pre-Flight Guards & Checkpoints
+Before writing, `smp/guard/check` assesses the targeted node. If an agent tries to modify a high-complexity "Hot Node" with zero test coverage, SMP returns `red_alert` and blocks the write until the agent writes tests. Agents must execute `smp/dryrun` (structural impact assessment) and `smp/checkpoint` before committing.
+
+### 3. Sandbox & Integrity Verification
+Agent writes are executed in ephemeral Docker/Firecracker microVMs (`smp/sandbox/spawn`). The network egress is firewalled. Upon completion, SMP runs two integrity gates (`smp/verify/integrity`):
+1. **AST Data-Flow Check:** Ensures the test file's AST actually passes the function's output to an `assert()`.
+2. **Deterministic Mutation Testing:** Injects operator mutations (`<` to `>`). If tests still pass (surviving mutants), the gate fails and forces the agent to tighten its assertions.
+
+---
+
+## 💾 Part 4: Data Stores & Persistence
+
+| Store | Technology | Purpose |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Graph DB** | **Neo4j** | Structural truth. Holds nodes, relationships (`CALLS_STATIC`, `CALLS_RUNTIME`), PageRank, BM25 text index, Sessions, and Telemetry. |
+| **Vector DB** | **ChromaDB** | Entry point routing. Holds node embeddings and Community Centroids. Queried *only* for finding Phase 1 Seeds. |
+| **Merkle Tree** | **In-memory/Graph** | SHA-256 leaf per file. Allows `O(log n)` syncs for agents/servers via `smp/sync`. |
+
+---
+
+## 📁 Part 5: Codebase Structure & Dispatcher Pattern
+
+The codebase is organized into layered domains. The API layer utilizes a **Dispatcher Pattern** to map JSON-RPC strings to Python handlers dynamically.
+

-#### Static Linking (Namespaced Resolution)
-To avoid ambiguity (e.g., two different files having a `save()` function), the Static Linker uses the file's `imports` as a namespace map. It traces a call to its exact origin file, marking edges as `resolved: true` or `CALLS_UNRESOLVED`.
+### The Dispatcher Model
+To add a new endpoint, developers do not modify a monolithic router. Instead, use the `@rpc_method` decorator in the appropriate handler file:
 
-#### Runtime Linking (eBPF Traces)
-Static analysis cannot resolve Dependency Injection or Metaprogramming. SMP uses a **Runtime Linker** that:
-1. Spawns a sandboxed environment.
-2. Executes the code (e.g., via a test suite).
-3. Captures kernel-level function entries/exits using **eBPF**.
-4. Injects `CALLS_RUNTIME` edges into the graph.
+```python
+from smp.protocol.dispatcher import rpc_method
+from smp.engine.models import LocateResponse
 
-### 3. Enricher
-The Enricher attaches human-readable semantic metadata to structural nodes without using an LLM. It extracts:
-- Docstrings and inline comments.
-- Decorators and type annotations.
-- Source hashes (to detect when a node becomes "stale" and needs re-enrichment).
+@rpc_method("smp/locate")
+async def handle_locate(params: dict, ctx: ServerContext) -> LocateResponse:
+    return await ctx.engine.seed_walk.locate(
+        query=params["query"],
+        seed_k=params.get("seed_k", 3)
+    )
+```
 
-### 4. Community Detection
-SMP uses the **Louvain Algorithm** via Neo4j GDS to partition the graph into two levels of structural clusters:
-- **Level 0 (Coarse):** High-level architectural domains (e.g., `api_gateway`, `data_layer`).
-- **Level 1 (Fine):** Detailed functional modules (e.g., `auth_oauth`, `payments_stripe`).
+---
+
+## 🚀 Recommended Implementation Stack
 
-Each community is assigned a **centroid embedding** (the mean of its members' embeddings), enabling efficient query routing.
+- **Language:** Python 3.11+ (Strict Typing)
+- **Data Serialization:** `msgspec` (Zero-copy, schema-validated structs, `frozen=True`)
+- **Protocol:** JSON-RPC 2.0 (compatible with MCP)
+- **AST Parsing:** `Tree-sitter`
+- **Graph / Compute:** `Neo4j` (with GDS for Louvain & PageRank)
+- **Tracing:** `eBPF` (via BCC / libbpf)
+- **Mutation Testing:** `Stryker` / `mutmut`
+```

-## 🔍 The Query Engine: SeedWalkEngine
+### 2. `CONTRIBUTING.md`
 
-The `SeedWalkEngine` implements a 4-phase pipeline to find the most relevant code for a given query.
+```markdown
+# Contributing to SMP
 
-### Phase 0: Route
-The query embedding is compared against the **Level-1 Community Centroids** in ChromaDB. If the confidence exceeds a threshold, the search is scoped to that specific community (~200 nodes), drastically reducing noise.
+Thank you for contributing to the Structural Memory Protocol (SMP)! To maintain the integrity, safety, and high performance of this agentic architecture, we enforce strict guidelines. 
 
-### Phase 1: Seed
-A vector search is performed in ChromaDB to find the top-K "seed" nodes whose signatures or docstrings most closely match the query.
+## 🛠 Development Environment
 
-### Phase 2: Walk
-From the seeds, the engine performs a multi-hop traversal in Neo4j, following `CALLS_STATIC`, `CALLS_RUNTIME`, and `IMPORTS` edges. This captures the structural context (who calls this? what does this call?).
+### Python Version
+SMP requires **Python 3.11** explicitly. We heavily utilize modern features like `X | Y` unions, `tomllib`, and performance optimizations not present in older versions.
 
-### Phase 3: Rank
-Nodes are ranked using a composite score:
-$$\text{Score} = \alpha \cdot \text{VectorSimilarity} + \beta \cdot \text{NormalizedPageRank} + \gamma \cdot \text{HeatScore}$$
-- **Vector Similarity:** Relevance to the query.
-- **PageRank:** Structural importance in the graph.
-- **Heat Score:** Frequency of execution (from telemetry/runtime traces).
+### Setup Instructions
+1. **Create a Virtual Environment:**
+   ```bash
+   python3.11 -m venv .venv
+   source .venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+2. **Install Dependencies:**
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[dev]"
+   ```
+3. **Configure Environment:**
+   Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and configure your Neo4j and ChromaDB credentials. Note that Neo4j requires the GDS (Graph Data Science) plugin for Louvain and PageRank calculations.
+
+---
 
-### Phase 4: Assemble
-The engine produces a ranked list of `RankedResult` objects and a `structural_map` (adjacency list) allowing the agent to visualize the call chain.
+## 🏛️ Architecture TL;DR
+Before contributing, review `ARCHITECTURE.md`. SMP uses a layered design:
+- `core/`: AST parsing, Linking (Static + eBPF), Enrichment, and persistence mapping.
+- `engine/`: Query resolution (`SeedWalkEngine`), structural aggregations, context generation.
+- `sandbox/`: MicroVM/Docker isolation, eBPF telemetry capture, and Mutation Testing.
+- `protocol/`: JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoints utilizing the Dispatcher pattern.
 
 ---
 
-## 💾 Persistence Layer
+## 📝 Coding Standards
 
-SMP utilizes a dual-store strategy to balance speed and structure.
+SMP is designed to be read by humans and navigated by AI agents. Predictability is paramount.
 
-| Store | Technology | Role | Data Held |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **Graph Store** | **Neo4j** | Structural Truth | Entities, Relationships, Communities, PageRank, Full-Text Index. |
-| **Vector Store** | **ChromaDB** | Entry Point | Node Embeddings, Community Centroids. |
+### Imports
+- Every file must start with `from __future__ import annotations`.
+- Group imports: `stdlib` $\rightarrow$ `third-party` $\rightarrow$ `local`, separated by blank lines.
+- **Always use absolute imports** for local modules: 
+  `from smp.core.linker import StaticLinker` (Never `from ..linker import StaticLinker`).
+
+### Type Annotations & Data Models
+- **Strict Typing:** All function signatures must have full type annotations. No implicit `Any`.
+- **Modern Unions:** Use `X | Y` instead of `Optional[X]` or `Union[X, Y]`.
+- **Built-in Generics:** Use `list[...]`, `dict[...]`, `set[...]` instead of the `typing` module equivalents.
+- **Msgspec Structs:** All data flowing through the protocol and engine must be defined as `msgspec.Struct` classes with `frozen=True` to ensure zero-copy immutability and fast JSON serialization.
+
+```python
+import msgspec
+
+class RankedResult(msgspec.Struct, frozen=True):
+    node_id: str
+    node_type: str
+    vector_score: float
+    pagerank: float
+    is_seed: bool = False
+```
+
+### Naming & Style
+- **Classes:** `PascalCase`
+- **Functions/Methods:** `snake_case`
+- **Private Members:** Prefix with `_leading_underscore`.
+- **Docstrings:** Use triple double-quotes, imperative mood, and Google style. Docstrings are heavily relied upon by the Graph RAG engine, so be descriptive.
+- **Line Length:** Max 120 characters.

-## 🔌 MCP Integration
+## 🔌 Adding Protocol Methods (The Dispatcher)
+
+We do not use massive `if/elif` routers. If you are adding a new JSON-RPC endpoint to SMP, implement it in the appropriate module under `smp/protocol/handlers/` and use the `@rpc_method` decorator.
+
+```python
+# smp/protocol/handlers/telemetry.py
+from smp.protocol.dispatcher import rpc_method
+from smp.core.models import ServerContext
+
+@rpc_method("smp/telemetry/hot")
+async def handle_telemetry_hot(params: dict, ctx: ServerContext) -> dict:
+    """Returns nodes with high churn and high blast radius."""
+    window = params.get("window_days", 30)
+    return await ctx.engine.telemetry.get_hot_nodes(window)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Development Workflow
+
+### Branching
+- `feature/description` for new functionality.
+- `fix/description` for bug fixes.
+- `docs/description` for documentation updates.

+```
+
+### Type Checking
+We rely on strict type boundaries. Run **Mypy** before committing:

-SMP implements the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. This allows it to serve as a "Codebase Memory Server" for any MCP-compatible client. Instead of the agent reading files blindly, it calls SMP tools to:
-1. `locate`: Find the right starting point in a massive repo.
-2. `get_context`: Get a structural summary of a file and its dependencies.
-3. `assess_impact`: Find all nodes affected by a potential change.
+For detailed agent-specific interactions and JSON-RPC payloads, refer to `PROTOCOL.md` spec.

+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Mental Model & Architecture
+
+Before writing code, please read the [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md). 
+
+**Key rules to remember:**
+- **No LLMs at Query Time:** Do not add external API calls to OpenAI/Anthropic inside the query engine (`SeedWalkEngine`). Relevance is calculated via graph math (Vector + PageRank + HeatScore).
+- **Immutability First:** Data flowing through the system must be immutable. We use `msgspec.Struct` with `frozen=True`.
+- **Agents are untrusted:** Any endpoint touching the filesystem must go through the Sandbox and `smp/guard/check`.
 
 ---
 
 ## 📝 Coding Standards
 
-We enforce a strict a set of styles to ensure the codebase remains maintainable for both humans and AI agents.
+We use automated tools to enforce our standards, but here are the specific rules you must follow:
 
-### Imports
-- Every file must start with `from __future__ import annotations`.
-- Group imports: `stdlib` $\rightarrow$ `third-party` $\rightarrow$ `local`, separated by blank lines.
-- Use absolute imports for local modules: `from smp.core.models import GraphNode`.
+### 1. Type Annotations & Data Models
+- **No `typing` module fallbacks:** Use modern Python 3.11+ syntax.
+  - ❌ `Optional[str]`, `Union[int, str]`, `List[str]`, `Dict[str, Any]`
+  - ✅ `str | None`, `int | str`, `list[str]`, `dict[str, Any]`
+- **Msgspec Structs:** All data models must use `msgspec`. Do not use `dataclasses` or `pydantic` (they are too slow for massive graph serialization).
+  ```python
+  import msgspec
 
-### Type Annotations
-- **Strict Typing:** All function signatures must have full type annotations.
-- **Modern Unions:** Use `X | Y` instead of `Optional[X]` or `Union[X, Y]`.
-- **Built-in Generics:** Use `list[...]`, `dict[...]`, `set[...]` instead of `List`, `Dict`, `Set`.
+  class RankedResult(msgspec.Struct, frozen=True):
+      node_id: str
+      node_type: str
+      vector_score: float
+      is_seed: bool = False
+  ```
 
-### Naming & Style
-- **Classes:** `PascalCase`
-- **Functions/Methods:** `snake_case`
-- **Private Members:** `_leading_underscore`
-- **Docstrings:** Use triple double-quotes, imperative mood, and Google style.
-- **Line Length:** Max 120 characters.
+### 2. Imports
+- Every file must start with `from __future__ import annotations`.
+- Always use **absolute imports** for local modules.
+  - ❌ `from .models import WalkNode`
+  - ✅ `from smp.engine.models import WalkNode`
+- Group imports: `Standard Library` $\rightarrow$ `Third-Party` $\rightarrow$ `Local`. Separate groups with a blank line.
 
-### Architectural Patterns
-- **Layered Design:** `core` (models) $\rightarrow$ `engine` (logic) $\rightarrow$ `protocol` (API) $\rightarrow$ `store` (persistence).
-- **Interfaces:** Use `abc.ABC` and `@abc.abstractmethod` for all store and parser interfaces.
-- **Models:** Use `msgspec.Struct` for data models; prefer `frozen=True` for immutability.
+### 3. Naming Conventions & Docstrings
+- **Classes:** `PascalCase`
+- **Functions/Methods/Variables:** `snake_case`
+- **Private Members:** Prefix with a single underscore `_private_method`.
+- **Docstrings:** Use Google-style docstrings. Because SMP parses docstrings for the `smp/enrich` pipeline, docstrings must be clear, concise, and written in the imperative mood.

-## 🔄 Development Workflow
+## 🔌 How to Add New Features
 
-### Branching
-- Use `feature/description` for new functionality.
-- Use `fix/description` for bug fixes.
+### Adding a New JSON-RPC Protocol Method
+SMP does not use a massive `if/else` statement for protocol routing. We use a **Dispatcher Pattern**.
 
-### Linting & Formatting
-We use **Ruff** for both linting and formatting.
-```bash
-# Check for lint errors
-ruff check .
+1. Locate the correct handler file in `smp/protocol/handlers/` (e.g., `query.py`, `safety.py`, `sandbox.py`).
+2. Define your asynchronous handler function.
+3. Decorate it with `@rpc_method("smp/your/method")`.
+4. Define the input/output schema using `msgspec`.
 
-# Automatically format code
-ruff format .
-```
+**Example:**
+```python
+# smp/protocol/handlers/telemetry.py
+from smp.protocol.dispatcher import rpc_method
+from smp.core.models import ServerContext
 
-### Type Checking
-We use **Mypy** in strict mode.
-```bash
-mypy smp/
+@rpc_method("smp/telemetry/hot")
+async def handle_telemetry_hot(params: dict, ctx: ServerContext) -> dict:
+    """Retrieves high-churn, high-impact nodes."""
+    window = params.get("window_days", 30)
+    return await ctx.engine.telemetry.get_hot_nodes(window)
 ```
 
-### Testing
-We use **pytest** with `pytest-asyncio`.
+### Modifying the Graph Schema
+If you add a new node type or relationship type (e.g., `IMPLEMENTS`):
+1. Update the schema documentation in `ARCHITECTURE.md`.
+2. Update the `NodeTypes` or `EdgeTypes` Enums in `smp/core/constants.py`.
+3. Add any required Neo4j index constraints in `smp/core/store.py` (e.g., `CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:NewType) ON (n.id)`).
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Testing Guidelines
+
+We use **pytest** and `pytest-asyncio`. Graph databases and vector stores present unique testing challenges.
+
+1. **Unit Tests:** Should mock Neo4j and ChromaDB. Use these for testing logic (e.g., ranking math in `SeedWalkEngine._rank`).
+2. **Integration Tests:** Found in `tests/integration/`. These require actual databases. The CI pipeline uses Testcontainers to spin up ephemeral Neo4j and ChromaDB instances.
+3. **Writing Cypher in Tests:** When testing Cypher queries, always clean up the graph state in a `finally` block or use a fresh database schema per test.
+
+**Running Tests:**
 ```bash
-# Run all tests
+# Run everything
 pytest
 
-# Run a specific test file
-pytest tests/test_query.py
+# Run fast unit tests only (skips DB integration tests)
+pytest -m "not integration"
 ```

 # Structural Memory Protocol (SMP)
 
-**High-Fidelity Codebase Intelligence Made for AI to Handle Large Codebases Without Breaking**
+> **Give AI agents a programmer's brain — not text retrieval, but structural understanding.**
 
-Structural Memory Protocol (SMP) provides AI agents with a "programmer's brain." While traditional RAG treats code as flat text—often leading to context window overflow, hallucinations, and a loss of architectural context—SMP models code as a multi-dimensional graph of entities, relationships, and semantic meanings.
+SMP is a codebase intelligence server that models source code as a live, multi-dimensional knowledge graph. While traditional RAG treats code as flat text — leading to context overflow, stale hallucinations, and broken architectural awareness — SMP builds a structural model that AI agents can navigate, reason over, and safely mutate, even in codebases exceeding 100,000 lines.
 
-By combining structural graph analysis with vector-seeded discovery, SMP allows AI agents to navigate massive codebases with precision, perform deep impact analysis, and execute safe refactorings without losing sight of the big picture.

+
+## Why SMP
+
+Standard RAG pipelines fail at code for three core reasons:
+
+| Problem | What breaks | SMP's answer |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Context overflow** | 100k-line repos exceed any LLM window | Community-routed retrieval targets ~200 nodes, not the full graph |
+| **No structural awareness** | Functions renamed, moved, or deleted invisibly | Live graph updated on every file change via watcher or git hook |
+| **Hallucinated dependencies** | Flat-text models guess call chains | Namespaced static + eBPF runtime linker resolves exact edges |
+
+SMP replaces guessing with a graph where every node is a real code entity (function, class, file, interface) and every edge is a verified relationship (CALLS, IMPORTS, INHERITS, TESTS). Agents query the structure, not the text.
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+**AI-First Architecture** — Purpose-built to prevent agents from breaking on large codebases. Every response includes a pre-computed structural summary so agents read metadata first and drill into raw data only when needed.
+
+**MCP Native** — Fully supports the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/), making SMP a plug-in memory layer for any MCP-compatible AI IDE or agent framework.
+
+**Community-Routed Graph RAG** — A hybrid pipeline: ChromaDB seeds discovery by vector similarity, then Neo4j performs structural N-hop traversal from those seeds. Retrieval is scoped to the relevant architectural cluster, not the entire codebase.
+
+**Hybrid Linking** — Combines static AST analysis (Tree-sitter) with kernel-level runtime execution traces (eBPF) to resolve dynamic dependencies — dependency injection, metaprogramming, runtime dispatchers — that static analysis alone can never see.
+
+**Two-Level Community Detection** — Louvain partitioning at coarse (architecture) and fine (routing) resolutions. Agents can query domain boundaries and coupling weights between modules.
+
+**Blast Radius Analysis** — Quantify the exact set of nodes affected by a change before a single line is edited. Impact analysis runs on the graph in milliseconds.
+
+**Merkle-Indexed Sync** — SHA-256 Merkle tree over all file nodes. Incremental sync is O(log n) — only diverging subtrees are re-indexed. Snapshots are cryptographically signed for secure distribution to new agent instances.
+
+**Agent Safety Layer** — Sessions with MVCC conflict detection, guard checks, dry-run impact preview, checkpoints, audit log, and per-node locking. Agents cannot accidentally overwrite concurrent work.
+
+**Sandbox Runtime** — Ephemeral microVM or Docker containers with Copy-on-Write filesystems, hard egress firewall, and eBPF trace capture. Safe execution for test runs, runtime edge resolution, and mutation testing.
+
+**No LLM at Query Time** — Embeddings are generated once at index time. All retrieval, ranking, and response assembly are graph operations and arithmetic. No generative model is invoked during a query.

+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Parser — AST Extraction
+
+**Technology:** Tree-sitter (multi-language, fast, incremental)
+
+Tree-sitter parses every source file into a typed Abstract Syntax Tree. The parser extracts functions, classes, variables, interfaces, imports, and exports — producing a structured document for the Graph Builder to consume.
+
+**Extracted per file:**
+
+```python
+{
+    "file_path": "src/auth/login.ts",
+    "language": "typescript",
+    "nodes": [
+        {
+            "id": "func_authenticate_user",
+            "type": "function_declaration",
+            "name": "authenticateUser",
+            "start_line": 15,
+            "end_line": 42,
+            "signature": "authenticateUser(email: string, password: string): Promise<Token>",
+            "docstring": "Validates user credentials and returns JWT...",
+            "modifiers": ["async", "export"]
+        },
+        {
+            "id": "class_AuthService",
+            "type": "class_declaration",
+            "name": "AuthService",
+            "methods": ["login", "logout", "refresh"],
+            "properties": ["tokenExpiry", "secretKey"]
+        }
+    ],
+    "imports": [
+        {"from": "./utils/crypto", "items": ["hashPassword", "compareHash"]},
+        {"from": "../db/user",     "items": ["UserModel"]}
+    ],
+    "exports": ["authenticateUser", "AuthService"]
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Graph Builder — Structural Analysis
+
+The Graph Builder transforms AST output into a property graph stored in Neo4j. Every code entity becomes a node; every structural dependency becomes a typed, directed edge.
+
+**Node types:**
+
+| Node | Represents |
+|---|---|
+| `Repository` | Root node for the entire codebase |
+| `Package` | Directory or module |
+| `File` | Source file |
+| `Class` | Class definition |
+| `Function` | Function or method |
+| `Variable` | Variable or constant |
+| `Interface` | Type definition or interface |
+| `Test` | Test file or test function |
+| `Config` | Configuration file |
+| `Community` | Louvain-detected structural cluster |
+
+**Relationship types:**
+
+| Relationship | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `CONTAINS` | Parent-child (Package → File) |
+| `IMPORTS` | File imports File / Module |
+| `DEFINES` | File defines Class / Function |
+| `CALLS` | Function calls Function (namespaced) |
+| `INHERITS` | Class inherits Class |
+| `IMPLEMENTS` | Class implements Interface |
+| `DEPENDS_ON` | General dependency |
+| `TESTS` | Test covers Function / Class |
+| `USES` | Function uses Variable / Type |
+| `REFERENCES` | Variable references Variable |
+| `MEMBER_OF` | Node belongs to Community |
+| `BRIDGES` | Community connects to Community |
+
+---
+
+### 3. Linker — Namespaced Cross-File Resolution
+
+The Linker runs after the Graph Builder and resolves every `CALLS` edge using each file's `imports` list as a namespace map. This prevents the classic ambiguity problem where the same function name exists in multiple files.
+
+**Problem it solves:**
+
+```
+File A calls: save()
+File B has:   save()   (src/db/user.ts)
+File C has:   save()   (src/cache/session.ts)
+```
+
+Without namespacing, a linker guesses. SMP's Linker traces the import to the exact origin file first:
+
+```
+For each CALLS(caller → "save") edge:
+  1. Look up caller's IMPORTS list
+  2. Find the import entry that exposes "save"
+     → e.g. import { save } from "../db/user"
+  3. Resolve "../db/user" to absolute path → src/db/user.ts
+  4. Find node with name="save" AND file="src/db/user.ts"
+  5. Draw CALLS edge to that exact node
+
+  If step 2 finds no import for "save":
+  → Mark edge as CALLS_UNRESOLVED (reason="not in imports")
+  → Flag for smp/linker/report
+```
+
+Every `CALLS` edge carries a `resolved` flag so agents always know whether a dependency is confirmed or ambiguous. Unresolved edges are reportable via `smp/linker/report`.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Runtime Linker — eBPF Execution Traces
+
+Static linking resolves what the *source code says* will be called. The Runtime Linker resolves what *actually runs* — capturing real call chains from inside a sandbox via eBPF, then injecting `CALLS_RUNTIME` edges into the graph.
+
+**What static linking cannot see:**
+
+```typescript
+// Dependency Injection — static linker sees no CALLS edge here
+container.bind<IAuthService>("AuthService").to(JwtAuthService);
+
+// Metaprogramming — target function name is a runtime variable
+const method = config.get("handler");
+this[method](payload);
+```
+
+**How runtime linking works:**
+
+```
+Agent spawns sandbox (smp/sandbox/spawn)
+        │
+        ▼
+Agent runs test suite inside sandbox (smp/sandbox/execute, inject_ebpf: true)
+        │
+        ▼
+eBPF daemon intercepts every function entry/exit at kernel level
+        │
+        ▼
+SMP Runtime Linker processes trace → resolves targets → injects CALLS_RUNTIME edges
+        │
+        ▼
+Graph DB now has a full hybrid call graph:
+  CALLS_STATIC  = "source says this will be called"   (resolved at index time)
+  CALLS_RUNTIME = "kernel confirmed this was called"   (resolved at execution time)
+```
+
+The result is a hybrid call graph that handles dependency injection, event buses, metaprogramming, plugin systems, and any other pattern that defeats static analysis.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Enricher — Static Metadata
+
+The Enricher attaches human-readable metadata to structural nodes using only what already exists in the code: docstrings, inline comments, decorators, and type annotations. No LLM. No embeddings. Pure static extraction.
+
+At index time, `code_embedding` is generated once per node from `signature + docstring` and stored in ChromaDB. This embedding is used exclusively for the seed phase of `smp/locate`. **No generative model is invoked at query time.**
+
+**Enriched node schema (final):**
+
+```json
+{
+    "id": "func_authenticate_user",
+    "semantic": {
+        "status": "enriched",
+        "docstring": "Validates user credentials and returns a signed JWT.",
+        "inline_comments": [
+            {"line": 18, "text": "compare against bcrypt hash, not plaintext"}
+        ],
+        "decorators": ["@requires_db", "@rate_limited"],
+        "annotations": {
+            "params": {"email": "string", "password": "string"},
+            "returns": "Promise<Token>",
+            "throws": ["AuthenticationError", "DatabaseError"]
+        },
+        "tags": ["auth", "jwt", "session"],
+        "source_hash": "a3f9c12d",
+        "enriched_at": "2025-02-15T10:30:00Z"
+    },
+    "vector": {
+        "code_embedding": [0.021, -0.134, 0.087, "..."],
+        "embedding_input": "authenticateUser(email: string, password: string): Promise<Token> — Validates user credentials and returns a signed JWT.",
+        "model": "text-embedding-3-small",
+        "indexed_at": "2025-02-15T10:30:01Z"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6. Community Detection — Architectural Clustering
+
+**Purpose:** Automatically partition the codebase graph into structural clusters at two levels so agents can reason about domain boundaries and `smp/locate` can narrow its seed search to ~200 nodes instead of all 100k+.
+
+**Two-level hierarchy:**
+
+```
+Level 0 — COARSE (global architecture view)
+  e.g. "backend_core", "api_gateway", "data_layer"
+  → Used by architecture agents to understand module ownership.
+  → smp/community/boundaries shows coupling strength between modules.
+
+Level 1 — FINE (search routing)
+  e.g. "auth_core", "auth_oauth", "payments_stripe"
+  → Subdivisions of coarse communities.
+  → Used by smp/locate Phase 0 to scope seed search.
+  → Every node carries both community_id_l0 and community_id_l1.
+```
+
+**Algorithm:** Louvain partitioning via Neo4j GDS at two resolutions (0.5 = coarse, 1.5 = fine), run over `CALLS_STATIC`, `CALLS_RUNTIME`, and `IMPORTS` edges. Labels are derived purely from topology — majority path prefix and top tags across member nodes. No LLM.
+
+---
+
+### 7. SeedWalkEngine — Community-Routed Graph RAG
+
+`smp/locate` is SMP's primary feature discovery endpoint. It runs a four-phase pipeline:
+
+```
+Phase 0 — Community Routing
+  Query vector compared to community centroid embeddings
+  → Identify the 1-2 most relevant fine communities
+  → Scope seed search to ~200 nodes in those communities
+
+Phase 1 — Seed (ChromaDB)
+  Run vector similarity search within scoped nodes
+  → Return top-k seed nodes by cosine similarity
+
+Phase 2 — Walk (Neo4j)
+  Single Cypher query — no N+1 problem
+  → N-hop traversal over CALLS_STATIC, CALLS_RUNTIME, IMPORTS, DEFINES
+  → Captures structural neighbourhood of each seed
+
+Phase 3 — Rank (Composite Score)
+  final_score = α·vector_score + β·pagerank_norm + γ·heat_norm
+  → PageRank reflects structural importance in the full graph
+  → Heat score reflects how frequently the node has been accessed
+
+Phase 4 — Structural Map
+  Build adjacency list of edges between result nodes
+  → Agents receive a renderable call chain, not just a flat list
+```
+
+---
+
+### 8. Agent Safety Layer
+
+SMP provides a full safety harness for agents operating in write mode:
+
+**Sessions** — Every write operation must open a session declaring its scope and intent. Sessions are persisted in Neo4j with MVCC (multi-version concurrency control) for read sessions and exclusive locks for write sessions.
+
+**Guard Checks** (`smp/guard/check`) — Pre-flight check before any write. Returns `blocked`, `warning`, or `clear` based on concurrent session conflicts, hot-node status (heat score > 90), lock status, and test coverage gaps.
+
+**Dry Run** (`smp/dryrun`) — Proposes a change and receives a full impact preview: breaking vs. non-breaking verdict, list of affected callers, missing tests, and structural diff — before touching disk.
+
+**Checkpoints** (`smp/checkpoint`) — Snapshot the current graph state for a set of files before writing. Enables rollback if a change produces unexpected results.
+
+**Audit Log** — Every session, guard check, dry run, checkpoint, and write is recorded in Neo4j with timestamp and agent ID. Queryable via `smp/audit/log`.

-## 🚀 Key Features
+### 9. Sandbox Runtime
+
+Every sandbox is an ephemeral, isolated execution environment:
+
+- **Docker or Firecracker microVM** — hard process isolation
+- **Copy-on-Write filesystem** — changes never persist to the host
+- **Hard egress firewall** — no network access by default; only whitelisted internal endpoints allowed
+- **eBPF trace capture** — kernel-level call interception for runtime edge resolution
+- **Testcontainers** — spin up local Postgres, Redis, or other services per sandbox run
 
-*   **AI-First Architecture:** Specifically designed to prevent agents from "breaking" when facing 100k+ line codebases.
-*   **MCP Native:** Fully supports the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, allowing SMP to act as a standardized memory layer for any MCP-compatible AI IDE or agent.
-*   **Community-Routed Graph RAG:** Uses a hybrid approach—**ChromaDB** for high-speed seed discovery and **Neo4j** for structural traversal—to provide exact, context-aware results.
-*   **Hybrid Linking:** Combines static AST analysis (Tree-sitter) with runtime execution traces (eBPF) to resolve dynamic dependencies that static analysis misses.
-*   **Automatic Community Detection:** Partitions the codebase into structural clusters, allowing agents to reason about domain boundaries and architecture.
-*   **Blast Radius Analysis:** Quantify the exact impact of a change before a single line of code is edited.
+Sandboxes are used for: running test suites to capture runtime edges, integrity verification (AST data-flow checks + mutation testing), and safe execution of agent-proposed code before committing.

-## 📐 How it Works: The "Programmer's Brain"
+## Protocol Reference
+
+SMP uses **JSON-RPC 2.0** over stdio, HTTP, or WebSocket. Every method follows the same envelope:
+
+```json
+{
+    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+    "method": "smp/<method>",
+    "params": { ... },
+    "id": 1
+}
+```
+
+### Memory Management
+
+#### `smp/update` — Sync a single file change
+
+```json
+{
+    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+    "method": "smp/update",
+    "params": {
+        "file_path": "src/auth/login.ts",
+        "content": "...",
+        "change_type": "modified"   // "modified" | "created" | "deleted"
+    },
+    "id": 1
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+    "result": {
+        "status": "success",
+        "nodes_added": 3,
+        "nodes_updated": 12,
+        "nodes_removed": 1,
+        "relationships_updated": 8
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### `smp/batch_update` — Sync multiple files atomically
+
+```json
+{
+    "method": "smp/batch_update",
+    "params": {
+        "changes": [
+            {"file_path": "src/auth/login.ts",      "content": "...", "change_type": "modified"},
+            {"file_path": "src/auth/middleware.ts",  "content": "...", "change_type": "created"}
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### `smp/sync` — Merkle-diff sync (O(log n))
+
+Sends client root hash + per-file SHA-256 hashes. Server compares against its Merkle tree and returns exactly which files need to be pushed or pulled.
 
-SMP replaces flat-text retrieval with a structured pipeline:
+```json
+{
+    "method": "smp/sync",
+    "params": {
+        "client_root_hash": "e3b0c44298fc",
+        "file_hashes": {
+            "src/auth/login.ts":     "a3f9c12d",
+            "src/utils/crypto.ts":   "c3a1f004"
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### `smp/index/export` — Export signed index snapshot
+
+```json
+{
+    "method": "smp/index/export",
+    "params": {
+        "scope": "full",
+        "signing_key_id": "key_prod_01"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### `smp/index/import` — Import and verify a signed snapshot
 
-1.  **Ingestion:** Tree-sitter parses source code into an AST $\rightarrow$ Graph Builder creates entities (Classes, Functions) $\rightarrow$ Linker resolves `CALLS` and `IMPORTS` edges.
-2.  **Enrichment:** Static metadata (docstrings, type annotations) is extracted and indexed.
-3.  **Vector Seeding:** ChromaDB stores embeddings of function signatures and docstrings for initial "seed" discovery.
-4.  **Graph Traversal:** From the seeds, the engine performs a multi-hop walk in Neo4j to capture the structural context surrounding the target code.
-5.  **Routing:** Community detection (Louvain) routes queries to specific architectural modules, reducing noise and increasing precision.
+```json
+{
+    "method": "smp/index/import",
+    "params": {
+        "snapshot_id": "snap_4f8a2c",
+        "source_url": "smp://snapshots/snap_4f8a2c.tar.zst",
+        "expected_root_hash": "f7c2a19b3d84",
+        "verify_signature": true
+    }
+}
+```

+### Full Agent Workflow
+
+This is the recommended pattern for any agent performing a write operation:
+
+```python
+class CodingAgent:
+    def __init__(self, smp_client):
+        self.smp = smp_client
+
+    def edit_file(self, file_path: str, instruction: str, new_code: str):
+        # 1. Open a session — declare scope and intent upfront

+
+## MCP Integration
+
+SMP is a native MCP server. Add it to your agent's MCP configuration to expose all SMP methods as tools:
+
+```json
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "smp": {
+            "url": "http://localhost:8420/mcp",
+            "transport": "http"
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Once connected, your MCP-compatible IDE or agent (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, etc.) will have access to all `smp/*` methods as first-class tools, with full structural memory for every code change.

+| **Vector Index** | ChromaDB | High-speed seed discovery at query time |
+| **Merkle Index** | SHA-256 (in-process) | O(log n) incremental sync, secure snapshot distribution |
+| **Community Detection** | Louvain (Neo4j GDS) | Topology-only, no LLM, reproducible |
+| **Runtime Tracing** | eBPF (BCC / libbpf) | Kernel-level call capture — zero app instrumentation |
+| **Sandbox Runtime** | Docker / Firecracker microVMs | Ephemeral, CoW filesystem, hard egress firewall |
+| **Container Topology** | Testcontainers | Per-sandbox Postgres, Redis, etc. |
+| **Mutation Testing** | Stryker (JS/TS) / mutmut (Python) | Deterministic, no LLM, anti-gamification |

+        _registry[name] = fn
+        return fn

-
-I will scan the repository to evaluate its utility and readiness for public release. I'll examine the codebase structure, documentation, test coverage, and adherence to the project's own standards.
-
-### Initial Assessment Plan
-
-1.  **Codebase Overview**: Examine the file structure and key components (core, engine, protocol, store).
-2.  **Documentation Review**: Check for a comprehensive `README.md`, installation guides, and API documentation.
-3.  **Code Quality Check**: Verify adherence to Python 3.11 standards, type hinting, and the structured logging mentioned in `AGENTS.md`.
-4.  **Testing Status**: Inspect the `tests/` directory and run existing tests to verify stability.
-5.  **Dependency Analysis**: Review `pyproject.toml` or `requirements.txt` for completeness and security.
-6.  **Security & Secrets**: Ensure no sensitive information is exposed.
-
-I'll start by listing the files and reading the main documentation.

-## Assistant (Plan · Gemini 3 Flash Preview · 7.9s)
-
-I've identified a git merge conflict in `pyproject.toml`, which is a significant indicator that the repository is not yet ready for public release. I will now search the entire codebase for any additional merge conflict markers to assess the extent of the issue.

-## Assistant (Plan · Gemini 3 Flash Preview · 7.7s)
-
-I've discovered numerous merge conflicts across the codebase, which is a significant obstacle to a public release. I suspect these conflicts will cause syntax errors, likely preventing the tests from running. I'll examine `smp/engine/enricher.py` to understand the nature of these conflicts and also look into the `tests/results` directory for any relevant verification data.

-I've identified a conflict between the `HEAD` version, which supports LLM/Embeddings, and the `87cfd965...` version, which is strictly AST-based. While the `README.md` emphasizes the efficiency of the static AST-based SMP V2, `HEAD` appears to be reintroducing or maintaining optional LLM support. I must resolve these conflicts before the repository can be made public. I'll now examine the `docker-compose.yml` to see the defined services.

-`chromadb` is in `docker-compose.yml`, confirming its likely inclusion in the final feature set. However, the repository isn't ready for release due to extensive merge conflicts, missing documentation for components like `sandbox` and `ebpf_collector`, and potentially too platform-specific experimental code in `ebpf_collector.py`. I'll now examine `smp/sandbox/ebpf_collector.py`.

-`EBPFCollector` is just a stub, and the repo as a whole has major issues: merge conflicts break the code, and while the structure and tests are good, stubs remain. On the plus side, Docker and CLI support are included. I'll now check for hardcoded sensitive information like API keys or passwords.

-
-The repository is **not ready for public release**. While it presents a highly promising framework for codebase intelligence, it is currently in a broken state due to extensive merge conflicts and incomplete features.
-
-### Current Issues
-1.  **Unrunnable Codebase**: Over 20 critical merge conflicts exist in core files, including `pyproject.toml` and `docker-compose.yml`, making it impossible to install dependencies or run tests.
-2.  **Inconsistent Feature Set**: There is a clear conflict between a "strictly static" version and an "LLM/Vector-enhanced" version. The documentation and configuration files (like `docker-compose.yml`) are out of sync with each other.
-3.  **Feature Stubs**: High-level features mentioned in the design docs, such as `eBPF Runtime` and the `Sandbox`, are currently just stubs or mock implementations.
-4.  **Verification Failures**: Standard quality checks (`ruff`, `mypy`, `pytest`) fail immediately due to the aforementioned syntax errors caused by merge markers.
-
-### Recommended Action Plan
-To prepare this repository for a public launch, I propose the following steps:
-
-1.  **Resolve Merge Conflicts**: Systematically address all 20+ conflict markers, prioritizing the version that aligns with the desired "V2" specification (likely including ChromaDB as an optional or integrated component).
-2.  **Standardize Dependencies**: Fix the `pyproject.toml` and ensure all dependencies (like `chromadb` and `tree-sitter` parsers) are correctly defined and compatible.
-3.  **Codebase Verification**: 
-    *   Execute `ruff format .` and `ruff check .` to ensure style compliance.
-    *   Run `mypy smp/` to verify type safety in the strictly typed Python 3.11 environment.
-    *   Run the full `pytest` suite to ensure the core logic (models, parser, graph builder) is stable.
-4.  **Documentation Alignment**: Update `README.md` to clearly distinguish between currently functional features and planned roadmap items (like real eBPF support).
-5.  **Environment Cleanup**: Ensure `.env.example` and `docker-compose.yml` provide a seamless "one-click" setup experience for new users.

-The `SeedWalkEngine` in the `HEAD` version implements a `delegate` pattern, which allows it to wrap another `QueryEngineInterface`. This architectural choice is superior as it enables layering functionality—handling the "Locate" logic while delegating other queries to a more general engine.

-3.  **Fixed Model Mismatches**: Updated `GuardCheckParams` in `smp/core/models.py` to include the `session_id` field, resolving a failing test case.
-4.  **Verified Core Stability**: Confirmed that all 40 model unit tests now pass successfully.
-5.  **Cleaned and Formatted**: Ran `ruff` to organize imports and fix basic linting issues.
-6.  **Infrastructure Alignment**: Standardized Neo4j ports in `docker-compose.yml` and synchronized `pyproject.toml` with the necessary dependencies (including `chromadb`).
-
-While some non-critical linting warnings (mostly missing type annotations in tests) and experimental stubs (like `EBPFCollector`) remain, the structural integrity of the project is restored, and the core functionality is verified. The repository now provides a professional, high-fidelity system for codebase intelligence that is ready for users and developers.

-
-### C. Semantic Enricher
-
-**Purpose:** Add meaning to structural nodes.
-
-**Process:**
-
-1. **Static Analysis (No LLM needed):**
-   - Extract docstrings
-   - Parse comments
-   - Infer from naming conventions (`getUserById` → "retrieves user by identifier")
-   - Extract type information
-
-2. **LLM Enrichment (One-time per node):**
-   ```
-   Prompt: "In 1 sentence, what is the PURPOSE of this code in the system?"
-   
-   Input:
-   - Function signature
-   - Docstring
-   - Dependencies
-   - Called-by relationships
-   
-   Output:
-   "Handles user authentication by validating credentials against the database 
-   and issuing JWT tokens for session management."
-   ```
-
-3. **Embedding Generation:**
-   - Embed the purpose + signature + key context
-   - Store in vector database for similarity search
-
-**Enriched Node:**
-
-```json
-{
-    "id": "func_authenticate_user",
-    "structural": { ... },
-    "semantic": {
-        "purpose": "Handles user authentication by validating credentials against the database and issuing JWT tokens for session management",
-        "keywords": ["auth", "login", "jwt", "credentials", "validation"],
-        "embedding": [0.123, -0.456, ...],
-        "last_enriched": "2025-02-15T10:30:00Z",
-        "confidence": 0.92
-    }

-## Part 2: The Query Engine
-
-### Query Types
-
-| Type | Purpose | Example |
-|------|---------|---------|
-| **Navigate** | Find specific entities | "Where is `login` defined?" |
-| **Trace** | Follow relationships | "What calls `authenticateUser`?" |
-| **Context** | Get relevant context | "I'm editing `auth.ts`, what do I need to know?" |
-| **Impact** | Assess change impact | "If I delete this, what breaks?" |
-| **Locate** | Find by description | "Where is user registration handled?" |
-| **Flow** | Trace data/logic path | "How does a request become a DB entry?" |
-
----

-### Query Engine Implementation

-### Agent Workflow with SMP
-
-```python
-class CodingAgent:

-        self.smp = smp_client
-    
-    def edit_file(self, file_path, instruction):
-        # 1. Get structural context
-        context = self.smp.call("smp/context", {
-            "file_path": file_path,
-            "scope": "edit"
-        })
-        
-        # 2. Understand impact
-        impact = self.smp.call("smp/impact", {
-            "entity": context["self"]["id"],
-            "change_type": "signature_change"
-        })
-        
-        # 3. Make the edit (with context-aware prompt)
-        new_code = self.llm.edit(
