Idea	Status	Tags	Summary	Katz
implicit_file_extension			The import statements should not require an extension, i. e. it should assume ". rq " unless otherwise specified. An extensionless path resolves to the ". rq " file first, then to a literal extensionless file or folder. A path that already carries any extension is resolved exactly as written. Folder targets: [import_folder_targets].	0.195
native_cache_retention	done		The language server keeps the open-buffer model for each open editor. It keeps a depth-1 name list for each imported file, and for each qualified-reference file the background pass has confirmed, while an open editor still needs that list. A closed editor drops its model. It also drops name lists that no open editor still needs. A file-watcher delete drops that URI from both caches. A check of a closed file may parse it once. That result is not stored. Related: [open_file_hot_path], [outbound_one_hop], [ast_lifecycle].	0.072
open_file_hot_path	in-progress		Open-file work stays on the one parse of this buffer plus one parse per imported file. Reuse that model for document links, go-to-definition, hover, and diagnostics until the text or the import-root mapping changes. Keep that model, and the import name lists, only for open editors ( [native_cache_retention] ). Look up an open import by URI. Do not match on file basename. Do not read SQLite. Do not call `list_all_ideas`. At parse time, publish lex and parse diagnostics with same-file and import errors. The editor must not wait for a workspace link phase to see a broken parse. Handlers on this path read the open model. They do not build a workspace link graph. Related: [open_file_algorithm], [outbound_one_hop], [ast_lifecycle], [comment_backlink_sequence].	0.186
outbound_one_hop	done		The hot path parses imported files only. For each import in the open buffer, parse that file once, then stop. Read idea names, idea lines, and import aliases. Do not parse files that the import references. Do not read SQLite. Prefer the open buffer text when that import is already open and dirty. Cache each parse by path plus file stamp ( modified time and size ) ( [lsp_session] ). A current stamp is one `stat`. Read and parse the file only when the stamp changed. Cache the open buffer by URI plus text fingerprint ( [open_file_hot_path] ). [local_symbolic_analysis] stays file-local. This hop is outside that extract. An extensionless import path prefers `.rq`, then the path as written ( [implicit_file_extension] ). A qualified reference that is not an import waits for [lazy_features_after_outbound].
