| extension_package | `packages/extension` ( npm `reqlan-extension` ) is the editor product per [distribution.extension_package]. It registers `.rq` language support, TextMate grammars, starts the language client, and owns activity bar, Ideas Summary, chat, skills, and mutation hooks. Ideas index engine lives in [analytical_package] / [indexer]; the extension only hosts a thin VS Code adapter ( [editor_index_adapter] ) for watchers and UI. Host entry: [extension_main]. LSP process entry: [language_server_main]. Depends on [language_package] and [analytical_package]. Follows [extension_architecture.event_driven] and [extension_architecture.state_machine_mindset] ( zustand ) for JS state. This is the one Marketplace / Open VSX shippable; see [package_versioning]. | ||
| language_server | The language server is a separate Node process started by the extension host over IPC ( [extension_main] → [language_server_main] ). It runs [language_module] `createReqlanServices` for live editing: definition, completion, semantic tokens, inlays, document links, validation. It owns open-document language intelligence for `.rq` files ( and related language features ), not the full-workspace SQLite ideas index. Product expectation for LSP navigation and validation: [extension_scope.lsp_support]. | ||
| runtime_topology | Two Langium runtimes share [language_package] but not one process. - LSP process: live `.rq` editing intelligence via [language_server_main]. - Analytical [workspace_index] ( extension host via [editor_index_adapter], MCP / CLI via [analysis_runtime] ): full-workspace graph for tables, local graph, chat, MCP. Editor ↔ extension host: VS Code APIs and webview postMessage. Editor ↔ LSP: vscode-languageclient IPC. Attribute catalog and similar custom notifications may sync from the index side into the LSP for completions. Stack sketch: [development_core.stack]. | ||
| scope | These requirements describe the cross-package system architecture of the reqlan monorepo: language definition, language server, ideas index, editor product, and companion tools. They are distinct from [extension_scope.scope], which bounds only the VS Code extension and LSP product surface. Language concepts live in [ontology]; syntax truth lives in [syntax]; editor module contracts live under extension / module. Grouped as [workspace_packages], [language_runtime], and [product_map]. |
