| 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]. | ||
| 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]. |
