|---|---|---|---|
| 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]. | ||
| implied_context | The * * active base * * for editor-adjacent surfaces is the longest-matching base root that contains the focused file path. When no file is focused, the last selected base ( Ideas Summary switcher / activity bar ) or the first discovered base is used. Context, local graph, and analysers bind to the active base's index — not a merged global graph. User / explicit pin is a pointer swap only — [active_base_switch]. Core selection: [base_discovery] ( `baseForPath` / `selectDefaultBase` ); editor pin / switch: [editor_index_adapter]. | ||
| 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]. |
