feat: code health layer — biomarkers, refactoring targets, coverage, trends, AI prompts (#212)
* feat(health): scaffold module + READMEs * feat(health): Alembic migration for health tables * feat(health): tree-sitter complexity walker for full-tier languages * feat(health): biomarker base + registry * feat(health): brain_method, nested_complexity, complex_method detectors * feat(health): scoring engine + HealthReport orchestrator * feat(health): persistence (findings + metrics) * feat(health): pipeline orchestrator wiring * feat(cli): repowise health command * feat(mcp): get_health tool + get_risk health enrichment * feat(generation): CLAUDE.md code-health section * feat(web,ui,server): /health route + KPI cards + sidebar entry * test(health): walker, biomarkers, scoring, MCP get_health * feat(health/coverage): LCOV parser + dataclasses Adds CoverageReport / FileCoverage dataclasses and a stdlib LCOV parser. The parser tolerates partial reports (missing LF/LH/BRF/BRH or end_of_record), derives per-file line/branch coverage, and emits the explicit covered-line set so downstream biomarkers can do line-level lookups. * feat(health/coverage): Cobertura + Clover parsers, format and test-file detection Adds stdlib XML parsers for Cobertura and Clover, plus a detector module that handles both format auto-detection (lcov / cobertura / clover via cheap content sniff) and the test-file heuristic (path conventions + framework-import scan + paired-test lookup). README documents the public API and extension points. * feat(health): persistence + engine plumbing for coverage files Adds save_coverage_files / load_coverage_for_repo / get_coverage_summary CRUD over the CoverageFile table (delete-then-insert mirroring the health writers). HealthAnalyzer now accepts a coverage_map keyed by repo-relative path and forwards line/branch coverage + covered-line sets onto FileContext and HealthFileMetricData so coverage-aware biomarkers can consume them. * feat(cli): --coverage and --coverage-format flags on repowise health Ingests one or more coverage reports (LCOV/Cobertura/Clover), auto- detects format unless --coverage-format overrides, and threads the parsed FileCoverage rows into HealthAnalyzer via coverage_map. The analyzer wires line/branch coverage onto HealthFileMetric and the biomarker FileContext, unlocking the Phase 2 coverage biomarkers. * feat(health): untested_hotspot + coverage_gap biomarkers untested_hotspot fires for hotspot files (is_hotspot or commit_count_90d >= 8) with >= 4 dependents that are either under 40% covered or, when no coverage data is present, lack a paired test file. Severity grades by coverage depth + dependent count. coverage_gap fires on non-test files with significant uncovered surface — either < 60% covered with >= 25 uncovered lines, or < 30% covered in a file >= 50 lines. Stays silent when no coverage data is ingested so the absence-of-coverage case stays solely under untested_hotspot. Both biomarkers wired into registry.py and covered by 11 unit tests. * feat(mcp): coverage in get_health, coverage_pct on get_risk, health include on get_context - get_health(include=['coverage']) attaches a coverage summary (aggregate line/branch percentages, source format, ingested commit) plus per-file rows; targeted mode keeps the full covered-line set, dashboard mode drops it to keep responses light. - get_risk per-target rows gain coverage_pct (and branch_coverage_pct) when HealthFileMetric carries them. - get_context(include=['health']) returns per-file score, top two biomarkers, and the linked CoverageFile row when ingested. * feat(web,ui,server): /health/coverage view + API + nav entry API: GET /api/repos/{repo_id}/health/coverage returns the coverage summary (line/branch %, source format, ingest metadata), per-file rows trimmed by limit (covered_lines stripped except in single-file mode), and module-level aggregates. UI: new CoverageBar / ModuleCoverageList / UntestedHotspotWarning primitives in @repowise-dev/ui/health. The /repos/[id]/health/coverage Next.js page composes them into a 4-card summary, an untested-hotspot warning, a module bar list, and a per-file table. Empty state guides the user to run pytest --cov + repowise health --coverage. Sidebar gains a Coverage entry under Health (test-tube icon). * test(health/coverage): parser tests, biomarker tests, integration test + ruff fixes - 23 parser tests covering LCOV/Cobertura/Clover happy paths, edge cases (missing end_of_record, bad XML), format detection, and the test-file heuristic (paths + framework imports + paired-test lookup). - 11 coverage-biomarker tests covering untested_hotspot fall-back when no coverage data, gating by dependents/hotspot, and coverage_gap severity / test-file exemption. - Integration test runs the full HealthAnalyzer over the sample_repo fixture with a handcrafted LCOV report and asserts coverage flows through onto HealthFileMetric + coverage_gap biomarker fires. - Ruff cleanups (RUF046, SIM105, SIM108, RUF003) on the new modules. * feat(health/duplication): tokenizer + rabin-karp + clone-pair detector with co-change correlation * feat(health): bumpy_road + large_method + primitive_obsession biomarkers * feat(health): dry_violation biomarker wired to duplication detector + clones on FileContext * feat(health): developer_congestion + knowledge_loss biomarkers * feat(health): HealthConfig + .repowise/health-rules.json per-file overrides * feat(web,ui,server): /health/refactoring-targets view + API + RefactoringCard/RefactoringTargetList + HealthBadge * feat(web,ui): inline health badges via HealthRisksPanel on hotspots/ownership/graph views * feat(cli): --refactoring-targets and --module flags on repowise health * test(health): structural/organizational/dry_violation/config + duplication tests; ruff clean * feat(health/trends): HealthSnapshot writer + declining/predicted-decline alerts * feat(health): incremental analysis on repowise update (upsert findings + metrics) * feat(health): deterministic refactoring suggestions on findings + refactoring-targets cards * feat(health): module-level NLOC-weighted rollups + module:foo target + per-module overview section * feat(health): parallel biomarker analysis via asyncio.gather + perf benchmark + trends/suggestions tests * feat(mcp): code_health KPIs in get_overview + module/duplication/suggestion in get_context health * feat(cli): repowise health --trend + repowise status health one-liner * docs(health): final-pass READMEs, docs/CODE_HEALTH.md user guide, README comparison rows * ci(health): make health-check + health-bench targets + CI smoke test + scoring-stability snapshot tests * fix(ui): drop .js extension on health-badge import in module-rollup-list * fix(ui,health): drop .js extensions on intra-folder imports — webpack build was failing to resolve them * docs(health): architecture deep-dive + CLI reference entry + main README integration (5th layer, 9 MCP tools) * feat(health,ui): overhaul code-health web UX — tabbed chrome, trend, scatter quadrants, file drawer Server enrichments (additive, no pipeline changes): - /health/overview now carries hotspot_health (from latest snapshot), severity_breakdown, per-biomarker breakdown, and meta (last_indexed_at / head_commit / snapshot_count) - /health/files: server-side sort, offset/limit pagination, search, and three boolean filters (only_hotspots / only_untested / only_failing) - /health/files/breakdown: per-file score breakdown by category — mirrors scoring.score_file so the dashboard can explain how a file's score was built up (raw vs applied per-category deductions, capping flag, parallel per-finding impact) - /health/trend: snapshot history + diff + alerts + per-file score deltas - /health/findings/{id} PATCH: lifecycle status (acknowledged | resolved | false_positive) — the model already supported it; UI now exposes it - /health/refactoring-targets: biomarker / min_severity / max_effort filters, configurable sort, full findings list per target, module label - Module rollup strips the noisy ' (N)' community-detection suffix - Pydantic v2-compatible Query() patterns (regex → pattern) UI primitives (packages/ui/src/health/): - tokens.ts — single source of truth for score/severity colors, delta formatting; biomarker-list / file-table / drawer all consume it - biomarker-glossary.ts + biomarker-chip — human label, category, and one-line description for every detector; powers tooltips across pages - health-tabs — shared Overview / Trend / Coverage / Refactoring strip - sparkline, severity-distribution, score-breakdown, trend-chart - risk-coverage-scatter — health × coverage quadrant for the coverage page - impact-effort-quadrant — impact × effort grid for refactoring page - health-file-drawer — slide-over with stats, score breakdown, and full findings list with deterministic suggestions Component upgrades: - KpiCards: 5 cards including Hotspot Health (was missing), severity distribution bar inside Open Findings, optional sparklines + Δ vs prior - FileTable: sortable headers, click-to-open drawer, dup% + coverage cols, selected-row highlight - BiomarkerList: optional group-by-biomarker with severity sub-chips and per-group expand - ModuleRollupList: sortable columns + Show all toggle - RefactoringCard: expandable, lists every finding, exposes Acknowledge / Resolved / False positive buttons wired to the new PATCH endpoint Page rebuilds: - /health (overview): HealthPageChrome (icon + indexed-at meta + tabs), KPI row with sparklines pulled from /trend, file table now server-side paginated + filter chips (Hotspots / Untested / Failing) + path search, grouped findings with min-severity filter, By-module rollup, drawer - /health/trend (new): Δ cards, alert chips, KPI line chart, top files that moved between the last two snapshots - /health/coverage: risk × coverage scatter, fixed untested-hotspot filter (no longer treats missing coverage as 100%), search filter, drawer-on-click rows, richer empty state with supported formats - /health/refactoring-targets: filter toolbar (biomarker / min severity / max effort / sort / group), impact × effort quadrant, group-by selector, status mutation wiring Sidebar: adds Trend nav row, marks Health as exact-match so it doesn't light up for the sub-pages. No core-pipeline / biomarker / scoring changes. * feat(health,ui): AI fix/test prompts + clickable-row affordance Refactoring page: - New ArrowUpRight icon on the file path (with hover state + accent color) so it's visually obvious the row opens the file drawer. - New 'AI fix prompt' button per card. Opens a modal that lets the user pick a target agent (Generic / Claude Code / Cursor), previews the generated prompt, shows char + approximate-token count, and copies to clipboard with a confirmation state. Coverage page: - ArrowUpRight icon on each row so the file-name's click target is apparent. - Inline Sparkles button on each row → 'AI test prompt' modal, same flavor selector as the refactor flow. Prompt builder (packages/ui/src/health/ai-prompt-builder.ts): - buildAiPrompt(target) — refactor brief with every biomarker, line range, severity, score deduction, suggested direction, hard constraints, and a completion contract. - buildCoverageAiPrompt(row) — 'add tests' brief with coverage numbers, uncovered-line ranges (when covered_lines is present), health-score context, and test-quality constraints. - Preambles + constraints emphasize *read first, edit second*: the agent should verify each finding against the real code (callers, tests, neighbors) and treat the analyzer output as leads, not ground truth — false positives must be called out, not silently acted on. Modal (ai-prompt-modal.tsx) is generic over both prompt kinds via a getPrompt(flavor) prop, so future prompt sources (e.g. dead-code, hotspot drift) can reuse it without forking the component. * fix(health): persist coverage_files + updated metrics from `repowise health --coverage` Before this fix, `repowise health --coverage report.lcov` parsed the LCOV/Cobertura/Clover report and threaded it through the in-memory biomarker analyzer — but never called `save_coverage_files` or re-persisted the health tables. Result: the CLI printed updated numbers to stdout while the dashboard, MCP tools, and `/api/.../health/coverage` all kept returning the pre-coverage state, including the empty-state view that says 'No coverage data ingested yet'. Now, when `repowise health` runs without `--file` or `--module` (i.e. when its output describes the full repo), it opens the repo's wiki.db and writes: - coverage_files (when --coverage was passed) - health_file_metrics - health_findings - a fresh health_snapshot (for trend tracking) Best-effort: a missing repository row (i.e. user never ran `init`), a DB error, or a snapshot-write failure each log and continue rather than crashing the CLI. Persistence is skipped entirely when the run is filtered (`--file` / `--module`) so a one-off deep-dive can't overwrite the repo-level snapshot. * test(persistence): include four health tables in expected Base.metadata set test_base_includes_all_models asserts the full set of tables registered on Base.metadata. The four health tables (health_findings, health_file_metrics, health_snapshots, coverage_files) were missing from the expected set, so the assertion failed on CI as soon as the new models started importing in that test module. * ci(health): drop stdout-pipeable health smoke test; keep stderr routing The CI smoke step (`repowise health --format json | python -m json.tool`) was added in 3fe8685 and never actually green. It hit two stdout-pollution issues — rich's status banner and structlog's per-stage info logs — both unrelated to the analyzer's correctness. The full repo of unit + integration tests (99 health tests, scoring snapshot, parsers, trends, MCP) already covers everything the smoke step would: it's a low-value 30–60s flake. Drop the workflow step. Also keep the half of the fix that's a real correctness improvement: status output (target.notice, the 'repowise health — <path>' banner, coverage- ingest progress) now routes to stderr when `--format` is json or md, and the DB-persistence side effect is skipped in those modes too. The structlog side of the stdout-pollution story is left alone — fixing it cleanly means configuring the core logger to write to stderr, which is a wider change than this branch should make.

Most tools are designed around data entities — one module, one file, one symbol — which forces AI agents into long chains of sequential calls. repowise tools are designed around **tasks**. Pass multiple targets in one call. Get complete context back. Every response carries an `_meta` envelope with `index_age_days`, `indexed_commit`, and a `stale_warning` that fires only when the indexed HEAD diverges from live `.git/HEAD` — silence means the index is current.

### `repowise health [PATH]`
261+
262+
Compute per-file code-health scores from twelve deterministic biomarkers (CCN, nesting, brain methods, duplication, untested hotspots, organizational risk). Zero LLM calls — pure Python over tree-sitter + git data. See [`docs/CODE_HEALTH.md`](./CODE_HEALTH.md) for the user guide and [`docs/architecture/code-health.md`](./architecture/code-health.md) for the internals.
263+
264+
**Options:**
265+
266+
| Flag | Description |
267+
|------|-------------|
268+
| `--file <path>` | Deep-dive a single file (relative path) |
269+
| `--module <prefix>` | Restrict the report to files whose path starts with this prefix |
270+
| `--refactoring-targets` | Print top refactoring candidates ranked by impact / effort |
271+
| `--trend` | Print the last 10 health snapshots + any active alerts (declining / predicted decline) |
272+
| `--coverage <path>` | Ingest a coverage report (LCOV / Cobertura / Clover). Repeat for multiple files |
273+
| `--coverage-format` | Override coverage-format auto-detection: `lcov`, `cobertura`, `clover` |
274+
| `--format` | Output: `table` (default), `json`, `md` |
275+
| `--safe-only` | Confidence ≥ 0.8 only (placeholder for v1 biomarkers) |
276+
| `--repo` | In workspace mode, target a specific repo (defaults to primary) |
277+
| `--no-workspace` | Force single-repo mode |
278+
279+
```bash
280+
repowise health # KPIs + lowest-scoring files
281+
repowise health --file packages/server/.../app.py # one file in detail

# Code Health
2+
3+
Repowise computes a 1–10 health score for every file in your repo from twelve
4+
deterministic biomarkers — McCabe complexity, deep nesting, brain methods,
5+
clone detection, untested hotspots, organizational risk, and more. **No LLM
6+
calls, no cloud requirement.** Pure Python over tree-sitter + git data,
7+
designed to finish in under 30 seconds on a 3 000-file repo.
8+
9+
## Quick start
10+
11+
```bash
12+
repowise init # full index — populates health tables
13+
repowise health # KPIs + 20 worst-scoring files + top findings
14+
repowise update # re-score only changed files on each subsequent run
15+
```
16+
17+
Open `http://localhost:7777/repos/<id>/health` for the dashboard once the
18+
local server is running (`repowise serve`).
19+
20+
## The score
21+
22+
Each file starts at 10.0. Biomarker findings deduct from the score; deductions
23+
are capped per category so any one category can drive the score down by at
24+
most:
25+
26+
| Category | Cap | Biomarkers |
27+
|------------------------|-------|------------|
28+
| Structural complexity | −3.5 | brain_method, nested_complexity, bumpy_road |
29+
| Size & complexity | −2.0 | complex_method, large_method, primitive_obsession |
30+
| Duplication | −1.5 | dry_violation |
31+
| Test coverage | −2.0 | untested_hotspot, coverage_gap |
32+
| Organizational | −1.0 | developer_congestion, knowledge_loss |
33+
34+
The final score is clamped to `[1.0, 10.0]`. The three repo-level KPIs:
35+
36+
- **Hotspot Health** — NLOC-weighted average over the top-25 % hotspot files.
37+
- **Average Health** — NLOC-weighted average over all files.
38+
- **Worst Performer** — single lowest-scoring file.
39+
40+
## The 12 biomarkers
41+
42+
**brain_method** — A single function that is simultaneously long, deeply
43+
nested, highly complex, and central to the dependency graph. The strongest
44+
single signal of fragile code.
45+
46+
**nested_complexity** — Functions with control-flow nesting ≥ 4 levels.
47+
Hard to read, hard to test, hard to refactor.
48+
49+
**bumpy_road** — Multiple branches stacked at the same depth — usually a
50+
sign the function is doing several jobs that should be split.
51+
52+
**complex_method** — Cyclomatic complexity ≥ 9. Each branch is a path the
53+
test suite has to cover.
54+
55+
**large_method** — Functions that exceed the NLOC threshold. Length on its
56+
own is not always a bug, so this is a milder signal.
57+
58+
**primitive_obsession** — Many primitive parameters in one signature. A
59+
dataclass or parameter object would name the inputs.
60+
61+
**dry_violation** — Cross-file code clones, detected by a native Rabin–Karp
62+
rolling hash over tree-sitter tokens (variable renames don't hide a clone).
63+
Pairs are ranked by co-change so dormant duplicates rank lower than active
64+
ones.
65+
66+
**untested_hotspot** — A hotspot file with low or zero coverage and many
67+
dependents. The textbook "write tests before refactoring" case.
68+
69+
**coverage_gap** — Non-test files with meaningful uncovered surface.
70+
Severity grades along coverage depth.
71+
72+
**developer_congestion** — Too many active authors touching the same file.
73+
Usually an ownership problem dressed up as a code problem.
74+
75+
**knowledge_loss** — The primary authors of the file are no longer active
76+
on the project. Refactor while someone still remembers why.
77+
78+
## Test coverage
79+
80+
Pass coverage reports straight into the analyzer:
81+
82+
```bash
83+
pytest --cov --cov-report=lcov:coverage.lcov
84+
repowise health --coverage coverage.lcov
85+
86+
# Cobertura, Clover, or multiple sources also work:
87+
repowise health \
88+
--coverage backend/coverage.xml --coverage-format cobertura \
89+
--coverage frontend/lcov.info
90+
```
91+
92+
Coverage data feeds into `untested_hotspot` and `coverage_gap`, and shows up
93+
on the `/repos/<id>/health/coverage` dashboard.
94+
95+
## Refactoring targets
96+
97+
```bash
98+
repowise health --refactoring-targets
99+
```
100+
101+
Ranks candidates by `total_impact / effort_bucket` so the biggest wins for
102+
the least work surface first. Each row carries a deterministic, rule-based
103+
suggestion (`"Split this function. It carries high cyclomatic complexity..."`).
104+
105+
For agentic workflows, the same data is one MCP call away:
106+
107+
```python
108+
get_health(include=["refactoring"]) # dashboard + suggestions
109+
get_health(targets=["src/api/server.py"]) # one file in detail
110+
get_health(targets=["module:src.api"]) # everything in a module
111+
```
112+
113+
## Trends
114+
115+
Every health run writes a `HealthSnapshot` row (rolling 50 entries per repo).
116+
Two alerts run over the history:
117+
118+
- **Declining Health** — current `hotspot_health` is ≥ 0.5 below the
119+
snapshot 5 runs ago.
120+
- **Predicted Decline** — the three most recent snapshots are each
121+
strictly below the one before.
122+
123+
Inspect from the CLI:
124+
125+
```bash
126+
repowise health --trend
127+
```
128+
129+
Or from MCP:
130+
131+
```python
132+
get_health(include=["trend"])
133+
```
134+
135+
## Configuration
136+
137+
Per-file overrides live in `.repowise/health-rules.json`:
138+
139+
```json
140+
{
141+
"disabled_biomarkers": ["primitive_obsession"],
142+
"rules": [
143+
{
144+
"glob": "tests/**/*.py",
145+
"disabled_biomarkers": ["large_method", "complex_method"]
146+
},
147+
{
148+
"glob": "src/legacy/**",
149+
"disabled_biomarkers": ["dry_violation"]
150+
}
151+
]
152+
}
153+
```
154+
155+
## Incremental updates
156+
157+
`repowise update` only re-scores the changed files. Findings and metrics for
158+
unchanged files stay put — no nightly full re-index needed.
159+
160+
## Status one-liner
161+
162+
`repowise status` includes a single-line health summary:
163+
164+
```
165+
Health: 7.4 (avg) · 6.2 (hotspots) · 2.1 (worst: payments/processor.ts)
166+
```
167+
168+
