|---|---|---|---|---|
| active_base_switch | done | Changing the active base is a **pointer swap** onto a per-base `WorkspaceIndex` / store. - Do **not** await soft-sync, hard-rebuild, or a full `.rq` walk on the switch call itself. - Host surfaces rebind views to the newly active store ( status snapshot, tables, context panes ) immediately. - If the selected base is not yet ready, show its readiness / progress and **schedule** the normal activate catch-up ( open if needed, then one soft sync ) fire-and-forget — same path as ["../indexer/indexer.rq".triggers] / ["../extension/index-host/graph-analysers.rq".indexing_trigger_open], not a special switcher rebuild. - Idle staleness checks only touch bases that are already open; they must not reopen every discovered base ( ["../extension/index-host/sqlite-artifact-lifecycle.rq".release_when_idle] ). - Open failures stay isolated per base so one bad base cannot leave siblings stranded in `uninitialized`. - Editor-follow must not overwrite a user pin on the same refresh that applies the selection. - Inactive bases release SQLite artifacts when the active pointer moves away ( ["../extension/index-host/sqlite-artifact-lifecycle.rq".sqlite_artifact_lifecycle] ). Surfaces: activity bar ["../extension/local-context/activitybar-panels/workspace.rq".workspace_base_picker], Ideas Summary ["../extension/workspace-summary/ideas_summary/base-scope.rq".ideas_summary_base_scope].

| 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]. | 0.322 | ||
| base_nesting | Bases may nest: any subdirectory that owns its own `.reqlan` is a child base. Parent-base indexing includes only `.rq` files under the parent root that are **not** under any child base root ( [base_discovery] ownership exclusion ). Nested bases appear as siblings in the multi-base registry; the longest-matching base root wins for a given file path ( [implied_context] ). | 0.060 | ||
| 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]. | 0.112 | ||
| create_base_onboarding | When discovery finds **zero** bases under any VS Code workspace folder ( root or child ), the extension prompts the user to create a reqlan base at the workspace-folder root. Do not auto-create `.reqlan`. Command `reqlan.createBase` creates `<folder>/.reqlan/` ( empty directory is a valid marker ) via [create_base_impl], then calls [base_registry] `refresh` so the new marker is registered and the returned [base] descriptor matches discovery ( [refresh_rediscovers_bases] ). With multiple workspace folders and no bases, prompt against the first folder. Headless create-base helper: [create_base_impl] ( also used by CLI `init` ). | 0.172 | ||
| multi_base_environment | Analytical features are multibase aware via [base_registry]: one [ideas_index] / `WorkspaceIndex` per base, isolated catalogs ( no cross-base idea-id collision ). Surfaces list all discovered bases; Ideas Summary and context panes scope to the active / selected base ( [active_base_switch] ). Cross-base reference resolution and merged graphs are out of scope for the first multi-base pass. Headless ( CLI / MCP ) selects one base via [analysis_runtime]; the editor hosts [editor_index_adapter]. | 0.134 | ||
| refresh_rediscovers_bases | done | Manual Refresh ( command `reqlan.refreshIndex`, activity-bar / Ideas Summary Refresh buttons ) and Clear & rebuild must **always rediscover** `.reqlan` markers under workspace roots before soft-sync or rebuild. Do not skip discovery when bases are already registered — a new nested or sibling base created on disk must appear after Refresh. Discovery and registration live in [base_registry] ( `refresh` → `rediscover` → optional `ensureBaseReady` for the active base ). The extension adapter ( [editor_index_adapter] ) calls that analytical API; it must not invent a parallel discovery walk. Create Base follows the same refresh path after [create_base_impl] so the new marker is visible immediately ( [create_base_onboarding] ). Related: [multi_base_environment], ["../extension/index-host/graph-analysers.rq".indexing_trigger_manual], ["../extension/index-host/sqlite-artifact-lifecycle.rq".event_driven_base_access]. | 0.075 | |
| indexing_trigger_filesave | indexing should be triggered by. rq file create / change / delete via watchers, and by allowlisted source files that may contain comment references. | 0.106 | ||
| indexing_trigger_manual | Indexing should be triggered by manual indexing commands ( Refresh / Clear & rebuild ). Refresh and Clear & rebuild always rediscover bases first via ["../../bases/base.rq".refresh_rediscovers_bases] / ["../../../packages/analytical/src/index-store/base-registry.ts"] `refresh`, then soft-sync or rebuild the active base. | 0.092 | ||
| event_driven_base_access | done | Extension interaction with bases is event-driven and goes through the analytical package: - Discover / pin / focus / file watch / command / UI query → open or `ensureBaseReady` - Sync, stale check, or analysis work runs - Quiet idle → [release_when_idle] No always-on connection and no continuous reconnect loop. Headless CLI / MCP already open per command via [analysis_runtime] ( [headless_sync_on_ready] ). | 0.057 | |
| release_when_idle | done | After an index or analysis pass finishes, and after the idle quiet period ( [idle_stale_check] / indexing_trigger_auto ), [editor_index_adapter] must release every open base SQLite handle via [base_registry] `releaseArtifacts` → [workspace_index] `deactivate`. Descriptors stay registered so the next event can reopen the same base. Idle must not leave connections open after a heal / sync, and must not schedule another open unless a real host event arrives ( file change, pin / switch, focus reopen, command, UI query ). | 0.077 | |
| sqlite_artifact_lifecycle | done | Base SQLite artifacts under `<base>/.reqlan/` ( [base_ownership] ) must not stay locked for the whole extension session. The host opens them only while work runs, then releases file handles so users can delete or replace the files. Aligns with [event_driven]: open and close are reactions to index or analysis events, not a permanent connection or a reconnect loop. Mediation: only [workspace_index] / [analysis_runtime] own SQLite connections. The extension adapter ( [editor_index_adapter] ) must not keep a second long-lived analysis runtime beside the index, and must not call native open without a matching dispose / release.

| base | done | A base is a container for ideas, ideasets, and files — the boundary of one ideas graph. Discovery: a directory is a base only when it owns a `.reqlan` application-memory folder. There is no implicit base from a bare workspace folder; the product prompts the user to create `.reqlan` at the workspace-folder root when none exist. Bases may be nested: a child directory with its own `.reqlan` is a separate base; the parent base's index stops at that child boundary. Each base holds its own ideas index under its `.reqlan`. Details: ["./bases/base.rq".base]. | 0.251 | |
| idea | done | A reqlan core unit is an idea. Syntax: ["./language/syntax.rq".simple_idea], ["./language/syntax.rq".block_idea]. Grammar: [reqlan_grammar] `Idea` / `OneLinerIdea`; index records: [analytical_types] `IdeaRecord`. Extract: [idea_extractor], [rust_extract]; AST: [rust_ast]. Product surface: [ideas_summary_tabs] Ideas tab per ["./extension/workspace-summary/ideas_summary/webview.rq".ontology_aligned_tabs]. | 0.110 |
