| Idea | Status | Tags | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| base | A base is a container for ideas, ideasets, and files. It forms the boundary of one ideas graph and is consumed by the CLI and the extension. Marker: a directory is a base only when it owns a `.reqlan` folder ( [app_memory_doc.application_memory] ). No bare workspace folder is treated as a base until the user creates `.reqlan` there ( [create_base_onboarding] ). Aligns with [ontology_base]. Discovery and registry: [base_discovery], [base_registry]. Marker path helpers: [application_memory_impl]. | ||
| base_configuration_provider | Base-level settings live at `<base>/.reqlan/config.json`. Extension-level settings remain VS Code configuration for the product host. | ||
| base_ownership | Each base holds its own [ideas_index] store under `<base>/.reqlan/ideas-index.sqlite`. Path keys inside the index are relative to that base root, not the VS Code workspace root. Store path: [application_memory_impl]; per-base engine: [workspace_index] via [base_registry]. | ||
| configuration_location | An optional `.reqlan/config.json` may appear under a base's `.reqlan` directory. For a given `.rq` file, the applying base is the nearest ancestor directory that owns a `.reqlan` folder. The applying config is that base's `.reqlan/config.json` when present. If the owning base has no `config.json`, or no owning base is found, defaults from [configuration_import_roots] apply. A child base does not inherit a parent base's config. Implemented by ["../../packages/language/src/reqlan-path-resolve.ts"]. | ||
| configuration_rqignore | done | Each base may define path ignore rules in `.reqlan/.rqignore` using * * gitignore syntax * *. Patterns are relative to the base root ( parent of `.reqlan` ), not the `.reqlan` directory. Owned by `@reqlan/analytical` so the CLI, MCP, and extension share one filter for discovery and indexing walks. Built-in defaults always apply ( dependencies, venvs, build output, VCS / editor stores, `*.db3` / sqlite DBs, `*.secret.rq`, hidden entries, and `.reqlan/` itself ); the on-disk file adds or overrides via the same syntax, including `!` negation. New bases seed `.reqlan/.rqignore` with those defaults ( ["./module/index.rq".rqignore] ). Missing or unreadable `.rqignore` still uses built-in defaults. Location convention: [configuration_location]. Application memory: ["./module/index.rq".application_memory]. | |
| index_ideas | Each ["../bases/base.rq".base] maintains an index of its ideas for fast lookup and navigation ( ["../indexer/indexer.rq".index] ). The index should update incrementally as. rq files change within that base ( nested child bases excluded ). Persistence lives in [application_memory] per base, shared with CLI and MCP — not VS Code extension storage. Engine ownership: [workspace_index] in `@reqlan/analytical`; multi-base via BaseRegistry; editor watches via [editor_index_adapter]. | ||
| index_technology | The [index_ideas] graph database is sql. js SQLite, aligned with [graph_design]. On-disk location is [application_memory] ( `<base>/.reqlan/ideas-index.sqlite` ), not `context.globalStorageUri`. Implementation: [application_memory_impl], [workspace_index], headless [analysis_runtime] for CLI / MCP, and [editor_index_adapter] for the VS Code host. | ||
| application_memory | done | Base-local application memory for reqlan tools lives under `<base>/.reqlan/`. The presence of `.reqlan` * * marks * * a directory as a ["../../bases/base.rq".base]; each base owns its own store. Shared by the VS Code extension, ["../../cli/cli_package.rq".cli_package], and MCP ( [mcp_server] ) — not VS Code `globalStorageUri` / extension-private storage. The ideas graph index ( ["../features-graph-analysers.rq".index_ideas] / ["../features-graph-analysers.rq".index_technology] ) persists as `ideas-index.sqlite` inside that directory. Index timing diagnostics persist separately as `index-diagnostics.sqlite` ( [index_diagnostics_store] / ["../features-index-diagnostics.rq".index_diagnostics] ) so rebuilds of the ideas index do not wipe history. Export form defaults ( all formats via ["../features-export.rq".export_webview], including HTML options in ["../features-html-export.rq".html_export_form] ) persist as `export_settings.json` in the same directory ( active base ). Path ignore rules live as `.rqignore` in the same directory ( [rqignore] / [configuration.configuration_rqignore] ). Path resolution is owned by [application_memory_impl] ( `resolveApplicationMemoryPath` ); consumers must use it ( or `REQLAN_INDEX_PATH` override for a single store ) so tools read and write the same store for a given base. Multi-base discovery / registry: ["../../bases/base.rq".multi_base_environment]. Index engine ownership: ["../../indexer/indexer.rq".ownership]. Extension wiring: [analytical_submodule]. Aligns with ["../../cli/cli_package.rq".function_parity]: shared analytical memory, not host-only state. | |
| index_diagnostics_store | done | Per-base diagnostic timing index at `<base>/.reqlan/index-diagnostics.sqlite`. Sibling of `ideas-index.sqlite`; not deleted by Clear & rebuild. Records sync runs and per-file durations for ["../features-index-diagnostics.rq".index_diagnostics_metrics]. Webview: ["../features-index-diagnostics.rq".index_diagnostics_webview]. | |
| rqignore | done | `.reqlan/.rqignore` filters which paths discovery and indexing crawl, using gitignore syntax relative to the base root. Owned by [rqignore_impl] in `@reqlan/analytical` so CLI and editor share behaviour. Defaults cover `node_modules/`, virtualenvs, build dirs, VCS / editor stores, database files ( `*.db3`, sqlite ), secrets, and hidden entries; new bases seed the file via create-base. Product configuration statement: [configuration.configuration_rqignore]. | |
| index | The ideas graph indexer: parse `.rq` with `@reqlan/language`, extract ideas / edges, persist to sql. js SQLite. Owned by [ownership]; consumed per [consumption]. | ||
| ownership | The [index] / indexer lives in `packages/analytical` ( `@reqlan/analytical` ). Canonical single-base engine: [workspace_index] ( `WorkspaceIndex` facade ). Sync / idle impl: [workspace_index_sync]; one-file parse + persist: [workspace_index_file]; mtime stale diff: [workspace_mtime]. Multi-base registry: one `WorkspaceIndex` per discovered ["../bases/base.rq".base] under [app_memory_doc.application_memory] ( `<base>/.reqlan/` ). Headless entry: [analysis_runtime] via `createAnalysisRuntime` ( CLI / MCP ) — discovers bases under the resolved root and defaults to the nearest base containing cwd. On-disk store path: [application_memory_impl] under `<base>/.reqlan/` — see [app_memory_doc.application_memory]. |
