feat(core,mcp): use Antfly index for pattern analysis (10-30x faster)

prosdev · claude · prosdev · commit 37c86b70f988 · 2026-03-31T00:36:23.000-07:00
Add getDocsByFilePath to VectorStorage and analyzeFileFromIndex to
PatternAnalysisService. When vectorStorage is available, comparePatterns
reads signatures from the Antfly index instead of re-scanning with
ts-morph. Falls back to scanner for tests/offline.

Wire VectorStorage through InspectAdapter so dev_patterns uses the
fast path in production.

Add scratchpad tracking the 5k doc cap as a known limitation.

+# Scratchpad
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- **`getDocsByFilePath` fetches all docs client-side (capped at 5k).** Uses `getAll(limit: 5000)` + exact path filter. Fine for single repos (dev-agent has ~2,200 docs). Won't scale to monorepos with 50k+ files. Future fix: server-side path filter in Antfly SDK.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Can Antfly SDK support server-side path filtering? Would eliminate the 5k doc cap in `getDocsByFilePath`. Worth raising with Antfly team after MCP Phase 1 ships.
+
+## Future Work
+
+- Antfly SDK: server-side path filter for `getDocsByFilePath` (eliminates 5k cap)
+- `dev_patterns format: "json"` for token-efficient agent output (MCP Phase 1, Part 1.4)
+- ast-grep as optional dep for pattern analysis (MCP Phase 1, Part 1.5)
+- PageRank for `dev_map` hot paths (MCP Phase 1, Part 1.6)
+- E2E tests in CI — blocked on Antfly memory requirements vs GitHub runner limits (7GB)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Both pattern analysis paths (index vs scan) must use the same pure extractors from 1.1 to avoid drift. Test this explicitly.
+- Log which path is used (index vs scanner) at debug level so we can verify the fast path fires in production.
