### 0.1 Repository & Polyglot Config

- \[x\] **Root Configuration:**
    
    - Initialize `pyproject.toml` (workspace root) to manage Python inclusions/exclusions.
        
    - Create `.gitignore` explicitly ignoring `data/*.db`, `data/*.db-wal`, `**/__pycache__`, `.next/`, `node_modules/`.
        
    - **Crucial:** Add `.gitattributes` to enforce `*.db binary` to prevent Git from attempting to diff SQLite files.
        
- \[ \] **Agentic Context Rules (`.cursorrules` / `.windsurfrules`):**
    
    - Create rule: "When editing `packages/harvester`, NEVER import from `apps/web`."
        
    - Create rule: "Always use `uv run` for python commands."
        
    - Create rule: "Prefer `pathlib` over `os.path`."
        

### 0.2 Python Subsystem (`packages/harvester`, `apps/api`)

    - `uv add alembic` (Database migrations).
        
    - **Dev Deps:** `uv add --dev pytest pytest-asyncio ruff mypy types-pyyaml`.
        
- \[ \] **Linting & Formatting:**
    
    - Configure `ruff.toml`: Enable rules `E` (Error), `F` (Pyflakes), `I` (Isort), `B` (Bugbear).
        
    - Set line length to 100.
        

### 0.3 Frontend Subsystem (`apps/web`)

    - `make lint`: Runs `ruff check .` and `next lint`.
        

## Phase 1: The Ontological Core (Data Modeling) ✅ COMPLETED

_Objective: Define the strict schema that governs the Knowledge Graph._

**Status:** ✅ All SQLModel entities defined with full relationships

**Implementation Notes:**

### 2.1 The Core Engine (`packages/harvester/engine.py`)

- \[x\] **Session Management:**
    
    - Create a global `httpx.AsyncClient` with `limit=10` connections.
        
    - Apply `tenacity` retry decorator: `stop=stop_after_attempt(5)`, `wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=2, max=30)`.
        
- \[ \] **Checkpoint System:**
    
    - Create a `ProcessingLog` table to track `(url, status, attempts)` to allow resuming interrupted scrapes.
        

### 2.2 Strategy A: GitHub Intelligence

- \[ \] **GraphQL Query Optimization:**
    
    - Write a single query to fetch:
        
        1. `object(expression: "HEAD:mcp.json") { text }`
            
        2. `object(expression: "HEAD:package.json") { text }`
            
        3. `object(expression: "HEAD:pyproject.toml") { text }`
            
        4. `stargazers { totalCount }`
            
        5. `mentionableUsers(first: 10) { nodes { login } }` (Contributors).
            
- \[ \] **Pagination Logic:** Handle `hasNextPage` for repositories with >100 tools (rare, but possible).
    

### 2.3 Strategy B: The Artifact Inspector (NPM/PyPI)

- \[ \] **Virtual Filesystem (In-Memory):**
    
    - Use `tarfile.open(fileobj=BytesIO(content))` to inspect `.tgz` without disk I/O.
        
    - **Security Check:** Check for "Zip Bombs" (uncompressed size > 500MB) before extraction.
        
- \[ \] **Manifest Parsing:**
    
    - Logic to extract `mcp` config from `package.json` -> `mcpServers` key.
        

### 2.4 Strategy C: Docker Forensics

- \[ \] **Registry API Client:**
    
    - Implement token authentication (`Bearer realm="..."`).
        
    - Fetch Manifest V2 Schema 2.
        
- \[ \] **Config Blob Parser:**
    
    - Parse the `config.digest` blob to find `Env` variables.
        
    - Heuristic: If `Env` contains `MCP_PORT` or `STDIO`, flag as valid server.
        

## Phase 3: Deep Analysis & Knowledge Enrichment ✅ COMPLETED

    - `visit_Call`: Check if func name is `eval`, `exec`, `subprocess.run`.
        
    - `visit_Import`: Check if importing `socket`, `requests`, `os`.
        
- \[ \] **TypeScript Visitor (Regex/Tree-sitter):**
    
    - Regex fallback: `/(child_process|exec|spawn|bun:ffi)/`.
        
- \[ \] **Risk Scoring Algorithm:**
    
    - Base Score: 100.
        
    - `RiskLevel.CRITICAL`: If `eval` detected.
        
    - `RiskLevel.HIGH`: If `network` + `filesystem` detected + `verified=False`.
        

### 3.2 Semantic Indexing

- \[ \] **Embedding Pipeline:**
    
    - Implement `EmbeddingService` class.
        
    - Batch processing: Group descriptions into batches of 50 for OpenAI API efficiency.
        
    - **Optimization:** Hash the description text. If hash exists in DB, skip embedding (saves $$$).
        

### 3.3 Bus Factor Calculation

- \[ \] **Algorithm:**
    
    - Fetch last 100 commits.
        
    - Calculate % of code contributed by top author.
        
    - If Top Author > 80% of commits -> `BusFactor.LOW` (High Risk).
        
    - If Top 3 Authors evenly distributed -> `BusFactor.HIGH` (Safe).

    - `dependencies.parquet`: Exploded view of `Server` -> `Dependency`.
        

### 4.2 JSONL datasets

- \[ \] **LLM Fine-Tuning Set:**
    
    - Iterate all `Tool` records.
        
    - Format: `{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Create a tool for..."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": <input_schema>}]}`.
