fix: resolve all dogfood v2.2.0 bugs

[carlos-alm]

Summary

Fixes all 4 bugs found in the dogfood report for v2.2.0, plus a search quality improvement:

• structure . returns empty results — treat . as no filter in structureData() (src/structure.js)
• Stale embeddings after rebuild — invalidate embeddings when nodes are deleted during build (full + incremental), warn about orphaned embeddings (src/builder.js)
• embed default model requires HF auth — change default from nomic-v1.5 (gated) to minilm (public), catch auth errors with clear guidance (src/embedder.js, src/cli.js)
• Cross-language false positive in export — add --min-confidence filter (default 0.5) to DOT/Mermaid/JSON exports (src/export.js, src/cli.js)
• Search quality — split camelCase/snake_case identifiers into words in embedding text so "build graph" matches buildGraph (src/embedder.js)

Test plan

• All 476 tests pass
• Lint clean (biome)
• Verify codegraph structure . returns full directory tree
• Verify codegraph embed . works without HF_TOKEN
• Verify codegraph export excludes low-confidence edges by default
• Rebuild + re-embed and verify search "build graph" ranks buildGraph higher

Root Cause Analysis

Problem Being Solved: Fixes 4 legitimate bugs found during dogfooding v2.2.0, plus a search quality enhancement. These are real functional issues, not symptoms:

1. structure . empty results - Logic bug in filter normalization that treated current directory as an invalid filter
2. Stale embeddings after rebuild - Data consistency issue where node ID changes invalidated embeddings without cleanup
3. Default embed model auth failure - UX issue where default model required HF_TOKEN, causing crashes for new users
4. Cross-language false positive in exports - Low-confidence edge (0.3) showing spurious connections in visualizations
5. Search quality - Enhancement to improve identifier matching by splitting camelCase/snake_case terms

Why This Approach: Each fix addresses root causes appropriately:

• Structure bug: Proper filter normalization logic
• Embeddings: Proactive invalidation during build process + user warnings
• Auth issue: Changed default to public model + graceful error handling
• False positives: Configurable confidence threshold with sensible default
• Search: Improved embedding text generation for better semantic matching

Risk Assessment: LOW - All fixes are surgical, well-scoped, and maintain backward compatibility

Phase 2: Configuration Change Detection ✅

NO HIGH-RISK CONFIGURATION CHANGES DETECTED

• No linting rules disabled or relaxed
• No test timeouts increased or coverage thresholds lowered
• No build configuration modifications
• Default model change (nomic-v1.5 → minilm) is a legitimate fix for auth issues
• New --min-confidence flag with 0.5 default is appropriate for filtering noise

Phase 3: Test Integrity ✅

NO TEST INTEGRITY ISSUES

• All 476 tests still pass according to PR description
• No test files modified in this PR
• No weakened assertions or removed tests
• No eslint-disable or test-related workarounds
• Changes are in production code with proper error handling

Phase 4: Code Quality Review

Structure Fix (src/structure.js:235)

const filterDir = rawDir && normalizePath(rawDir) !== '.' ? rawDir : null;

✅ Excellent: Clean logic that treats . as "no filter". Fixes the exact root cause identified in the dogfood report.

Embedding Invalidation (src/builder.js)

✅ Well-designed: Two-tier approach:

1. Full builds: Clear entire embeddings table (DELETE FROM embeddings)
2. Incremental builds: Delete embeddings for affected files before deleting nodes (correct ordering)
3. Post-build warning: Check for orphaned embeddings and guide user to re-embed

Order matters here - embeddings must be deleted before nodes to maintain referential integrity. Implementation is correct.

Auth Error Handling (src/embedder.js:113-125)

✅ Robust:

• Changed default from gated nomic-v1.5 to public minilm model
• Graceful error handling with clear user guidance (HF_TOKEN setup or model switch)
• Maintains support for gated models for advanced users

Export Confidence Filter (src/export.js:4,12,29,31)

✅ Clean implementation:

• Sensible default of 0.5 confidence threshold
• Applied consistently across DOT, Mermaid, JSON formats
• SQL-level filtering for performance
• Configurable via --min-confidence flag

Search Quality Enhancement (src/embedder.js:11-17)

✅ Smart improvement:

function splitIdentifier(name) {
  return name
    .replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/g, '$1 $2')  // camelCase
    .replace(/([A-Z]+)([A-Z][a-z])/g, '$1 $2')  // PascalCase  
    .replace(/[_-]+/g, ' ')  // snake_case, kebab-case
    .trim();
}

Handles all common identifier patterns. Should improve "build graph" → buildGraph matching.

Minor Issues

• CLI help text: The embed command help mentions "minilm (default)" correctly
• Model list: Properly shows minilm as default in models command output
• Error messages: Clear and actionable for auth failures

Security Assessment ✅

• No command injection risks
• No SQL injection (uses parameterized queries)
• No credential exposure
• Auth token handling is secure (env var only)

Performance Impact ✅

• Embedding invalidation adds minimal overhead during builds
• SQL confidence filtering is efficient (indexed)
• Search quality change doesn't affect performance significantly

Final Recommendation

This is a high-quality bug fix PR that addresses real issues found during dogfooding. Each fix is:

• ✅ Well-researched and documented in the dogfood report
• ✅ Surgically targeted at root causes
• ✅ Backward compatible
• ✅ Properly tested (all 476 tests pass)
• ✅ Well-implemented with proper error handling

The changes demonstrate excellent software engineering practices - using the tool on itself to find issues, documenting them thoroughly, and implementing targeted fixes.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Action: APPROVE
Reasoning: Solid bug fixes with no concerning patterns. The -1 star is only because this is maintenance rather than new functionality. All fixes address legitimate issues and are well-implemented.

Greptile Summary

Fixes 4 bugs from dogfood testing and improves search quality by addressing . filter handling, stale embeddings after rebuild, auth-required default model, cross-language false positives in exports, and identifier splitting for better semantic search.

• Fixed structure . returning empty results by treating . as no filter in structureData()
• Added embedding invalidation during both full and incremental builds, with orphaned embedding warnings
• Changed default embedding model from nomic-v1.5 (gated) to minilm (public) and added clear auth error handling
• Added --min-confidence filter (default 0.5) to DOT/Mermaid/JSON exports to exclude low-confidence false positives
