Three documentation correctness fixes across all 16 CallGraph{From,To}.md files (8 languages) and the shared instructions file, addressing review feedback on #81.

📝 Update Information

Primitive Details

  • Type: Documentation
  • Name: CallGraphFrom, CallGraphTo (all languages: cpp, csharp, go, java, javascript, python, ruby, swift)
  • Update Category: Bug Fix (incorrect documentation claims)

⚠️ CRITICAL: PR SCOPE VALIDATION

ALLOWED FILES:

  • Documentation updates (server/ql/*/tools/src/CallGraph{From,To}/*.md)
  • Instructions file (.github/instructions/server_ql_languages_tools.instructions.md)

🛑 MANDATORY PR VALIDATION CHECKLIST

  • ONLY server implementation files are included
  • NO temporary or output files are included
  • NO unrelated configuration files are included
  • ALL existing tests continue to pass
  • NEW functionality is properly tested

  • Impact Scope: Localized — documentation only, no behavioral changes

Update Metadata

  • Breaking Changes: No
  • API Compatibility: Maintained
  • Performance Impact: Neutral

🎯 Changes Description

Current Behavior

All CallGraph{From,To}.md files incorrectly listed "IDE integration for call hierarchy navigation" as a use case. The example message patterns and Output Format sections used single-quoted placeholders ('source', 'callee') that don't match the actual query output, which uses backtick-quoted names. The instructions file had a NON-COMPLIANT hyphen typo (should be underscore, consistent with NON_COMPLIANT used elsewhere).

Updated Behavior

  • Use Cases: Removed the false "IDE integration for call hierarchy navigation" bullet from all 16 files.
  • Output format: Updated example message patterns and Output Format sections to use double-backtick spans reflecting actual query output:
<!-- BEFORE -->
Running with `sourceFunction = "sourceFunc"` produces results ... with the message pattern `Call from 'sourceFunc' to 'helper1'`.

- `select call, "Call from 'source' to 'callee'"`

<!-- AFTER -->
Running with `sourceFunction = "sourceFunc"` produces results ... with the message pattern ``Call from `sourceFunc` to `helper1``.

- ``select call, "Call from `source` to `callee`"``
  • Instructions typo: NON-COMPLIANTNON_COMPLIANT in .github/instructions/server_ql_languages_tools.instructions.md.

Motivation

The IDE integration claim was inaccurate — these queries are standalone call-graph analysis tools, not IDE call hierarchy providers. The single-quoted output format conflicted with what the .ql files actually produce (backtick-wrapped names via string concatenation), causing user confusion when comparing docs to actual results.

🔄 Before vs. After Comparison

Functionality Changes

No functional changes — documentation corrections only.

API Changes

None.

Output Format Changes

No change to actual query output. Documentation now accurately reflects the existing backtick format.

🧪 Testing & Validation

Test Coverage Updates

  • Existing Tests: All existing tests continue to pass
  • New Test Cases: N/A — documentation-only change
  • Regression Tests: N/A
  • Edge Case Tests: N/A

Validation Scenarios

  1. Backward Compatibility: No code changes; fully compatible.
  2. New Functionality: N/A.
  3. Error Handling: N/A.
  4. Performance: N/A.

Test Results

  • Unit Tests: All pass (910/910)
  • Integration Tests: Pre-existing unrelated failure in codeql_pack_install/install_pack
  • Manual Testing: Verified all 16 files have no remaining single-quoted patterns or IDE integration claims

📋 Implementation Details

Files Modified

  • Documentation: server/ql/{cpp,csharp,go,java,javascript,python,ruby,swift}/tools/src/CallGraph{From,To}/CallGraph{From,To}.md (16 files)
  • Documentation: .github/instructions/server_ql_languages_tools.instructions.md

Code Changes Summary

  • Documentation: Removed false IDE integration use case, corrected output format backticks, fixed NON_COMPLIANT typo

Dependencies

  • No New Dependencies: Documentation-only changes

🔍 Quality Improvements

Bug Fixes (if applicable)

  • Issue: CallGraph docs claimed IDE integration support; output format used wrong quote style
  • Root Cause: Copy-paste error when authoring the initial .md files
  • Solution: Removed the incorrect use case bullet; updated format strings to match actual QL select string interpolation
  • Prevention: N/A — enforced by human review

Code Quality Enhancements

  • Readability: Docs now accurately reflect query behavior

* Enforce release version and tag consistency

* fix(release-tag): detect and replace stale tags

Add a lightweight version check in the check-tag step that inspects
server/package.json at the tagged commit. If the version doesn't match
the release name, the stale tag is deleted and recreated with correct
versions through the normal update/build/test/tag flow.

Also suppress stderr on git restore --staged for paths that may not
exist (.codeql, *.qlx).

* Release v2.24.2-rc1: update versions to 2.24.2-rc1

* Allow codeql pack prerelease

* Release v2.24.2-rc2: update versions to 2.24.2-rc2

* fix VSIX-bundled server install & version artifacts

VSIX install fixes:
- Skip npm install entirely when the VSIX bundle is present; the bundle
  already ships server/dist/, server/ql/, and server/package.json
- PackInstaller now prefers bundled qlpacks from the VSIX over the
  npm-installed copy in globalStorage, fixing version skew between the
  packs being installed and the server code being run
- In the unbundled fallback path (Extension Development Host), compare
  the npm-installed version against the extension's own version instead
  of short-circuiting on targetVersion === 'latest'

Versioned release artifact filenames:
- VSIX: codeql-development-mcp-server-vX.Y.Z.vsix (was unversioned)
- CodeQL pack bundles: ql-mcp-<lang>-tools-src-vX.Y.Z.tar.gz (was unversioned)
- Update release, build-and-test, and package scripts accordingly
- Add *.vsix to .gitignore
- Normalize docs to use vX.Y.Z placeholders consistently

* Add `.md` docs for all `.ql` tools queries (#78) (#79)

* Add .md docs for all tools queries (#78)

Add query documentation (.md) for every `server/ql/*/tools/src/*/*.ql`
query across all 9 supported languages: PrintAST, PrintCFG, CallGraphFrom,
and CallGraphTo.

- Add `query-documentation.test.ts` to enforce that every tools query has
  a matching .md file
- Update `server_ql_languages_tools.instructions.md` to require query docs,
  clarify `@kind graph` vs detection-query guidance, and scope
  COMPLIANT/NON_COMPLIANT annotations to detection queries only
- Remove COMPLIANT/NON_COMPLIANT annotations from existing PrintCFG docs
  (structural queries, not detection queries)
