From ed971a71fb813fd91ef7aa9236b476269891b7b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: GitHub Copilot Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 15:31:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/13] docs: design spec for shared gitignore/.infigraphignore-aware ignore rules Unifies the 5 independently-hardcoded ignore-directory lists (collect_files, watch/should_ignore, docs walk_doc_dir, search grep_search, security walk_and_scan) behind one shared component in infigraph-core, closing the gap where a gitignored project convention (e.g. scratchpad/) is walked and watched anyway because it's absent from every hardcoded list.

Already uses `ignore::WalkBuilder` + with `.hidden(true)`, `.git_ignore(true)`, and + `.add_custom_ignore_filename(".infigraphignore")`, plus a small hardcoded + `filter_entry` safety list (`.infigraph`, `node_modules`, `__pycache__`, + `.tox`). This one genuinely respects `.gitignore`/`.infigraphignore`. +2. `crates/infigraph-core/src/watch/mod.rs::should_ignore` (used by + `watch_project_with_periodic`'s notify-event filter and by + `register_watch_dirs`/`register_subdirs`'s directory-registration walk) — + a hardcoded list (`.infigraph`, `.git`, `node_modules`, `__pycache__`, + `.venv`, `venv`, `target`, `build`, `dist`, `.tox`), no gitignore + awareness at all. +3. `crates/infigraph-docs/src/lib.rs::walk_doc_dir` — the same style of + hardcoded list, independently maintained, no gitignore awareness. +4. `crates/infigraph-core/src/search/mod.rs::IGNORE_DIRS` (used by + `grep_search`) — another independent hardcoded list. +5. `crates/infigraph-core/src/security/detect.rs::IGNORE_DIRS` (used by + `walk_and_scan`) — a longer independent hardcoded list (also `vendor`, + `.idea`, `.mypy_cache`, `coverage`, `.pytest_cache`). + +`docs/CODE-PARSING.md`'s own "File Discovery" section documents the +hardcoded-list behavior as if it were current for code indexing — it is not; +it describes an earlier implementation that `collect_files` has since moved +past, and the doc was never updated. + +### The incident that surfaced this + +On 2026-08-06, this repository's own doc-watch daemon got stuck in an +infinite loop: `[doc-watch-daemon] document change detected, reindexing...` +followed immediately by `reindexed: 0 files, 0 chunks`, repeating +continuously for hours. Root cause: `scratchpad/` — this repo's own +gitignored convention for agent worktree scratch space, populated with 9+ +full copies of `docs/` from that session's dispatched agents — is not in +`walk_doc_dir`'s hardcoded ignore list and does not start with `.`, so it +gets walked, indexed as real project content, and watched. Any file touch +anywhere under any live `scratchpad/wt-*/` worktree re-triggers the watcher, +which reindexes the (unchanged) scratchpad copies, finds nothing new +(`0 chunks`), and never advances `docs_embeddings.bin`'s freshness — the +doctor tool's "stale sidecar" warning is a symptom of this loop, not an +independent bug. + +Investigating further surfaced a second, more serious gap: `index_files()` +(`crates/infigraph-core/src/lib.rs::index_files`), the incremental per-path +indexer the watcher's drain step calls, does **not** re-check ignore rules +on the paths it's given — it trusts its caller entirely. Since the code +watcher's `should_ignore` also lacks `scratchpad` (and lacks any real +gitignore awareness), a live edit under `scratchpad/wt-*/` is not just a +wasted reindex cycle the way the doc case is — it can actually be written +into the *main* project's code graph via the incremental path, something a +full `infigraph index --full` (which goes through the correct +`collect_files`) would never have included in the first place. + +## Goal + +Replace all 5 ignore-decision sites with one shared, `.gitignore`- and +`.infigraphignore`-aware component, so every one of them behaves like +`collect_files` already does, and a project-specific gitignored convention +(like `scratchpad/`) is honored everywhere by construction, not by +remembering to add it to N separate lists. + +## Non-goals + +- **Not hardening `index_files()` itself.** The fix is to stop the watcher + from ever enqueueing an ignored path (its directory-registration and + event-filtering layers, described below); `index_files()` continues to + trust its caller, as today. Explicitly decided against adding a second + ignore check at the ingestion boundary — the watcher's enqueue path is + the single source of truth for what gets queued. +- **Not changing what counts as ignorable via `.gitignore`/ + `.infigraphignore` semantics.** These are consumed exactly as the `ignore` + crate already interprets them for `collect_files` today — no + Infigraph-specific dialect. + +## Architecture + +New module: `crates/infigraph-core/src/ignore_rules.rs`. + +`infigraph-docs` already depends on `infigraph-core` (see its `Cargo.toml`), +so no new crate or dependency-graph change is needed — the `ignore` crate +is already a dependency of `infigraph-core` (used today by `collect_files`). + +### Safety list + +A single `const IGNORE_SAFETY_LIST: &[&str]` — the **union** of all 5 +current lists, so unifying them cannot silently regress protection in a repo +whose own `.gitignore` happens to be sparse: + +``` +.infigraph, .git, node_modules, __pycache__, .venv, venv, target, build, +dist, .tox, vendor, .idea, .mypy_cache, coverage, .pytest_cache +``` + +This list is excluded unconditionally, regardless of what any `.gitignore` +or `.infigraphignore` says (a project without `.infigraph` in its own +`.gitignore` must not have Infigraph recursively index its own index state). +Everything else — including project-specific conventions like `scratchpad/` +— is governed by real `.gitignore`/`.infigraphignore` rules. + +### Two consumption forms, one configuration + +```rust +/// Pre-configured WalkBuilder for directory-tree walks. Caller may add +/// further config (e.g. max_depth) before calling .build(). +pub fn walk_builder(root: &Path) -> ignore::WalkBuilder { ... } + +/// Point-wise matcher for a single path (no tree to walk) — e.g. a notify +/// event. Rebuild when the underlying ignore files may have changed. +pub struct IgnoreMatcher(ignore::gitignore::Gitignore); +impl IgnoreMatcher { + pub fn build(root: &Path) -> Self { ... } + pub fn is_ignored(&self, path: &Path, is_dir: bool) -> bool { ... } +} +``` + +Both are built from the same root, the same `.infigraphignore` custom +filename, and the same safety list — one place defines "ignored," exposed +two ways depending on whether the caller has a tree to walk or a single path +to check. + +## Call-site changes + +1. **`collect_files`** (`crates/infigraph-core/src/lib.rs`) — replace its + inline `WalkBuilder` construction with `ignore_rules::walk_builder(&self.root)`. + Behavior-preserving: its current filter list is a subset of the new + union, so nothing it currently includes starts being excluded, and + nothing it currently indexes changes. +2. **`walk_doc_dir`** (`crates/infigraph-docs/src/lib.rs`) — replace the + hand-rolled recursive `read_dir` walk with + `ignore_rules::walk_builder(&self.root).build()`, filtered to + `is_document_file` matches. This is the direct fix for the incident. +3. **`watch_project_with_periodic`** (`crates/infigraph-core/src/watch/mod.rs`) + — two changes: + - `register_watch_dirs`/`register_subdirs` use `ignore_rules::walk_builder` + to decide which subdirectories to call `watcher.watch()` on, so an + ignored tree (e.g. `scratchpad/`) is never subscribed to in the first + place — this is what closes the `index_files()` incremental-leak gap, + since a path that's never watched can never be enqueued. + - `should_ignore`'s hardcoded-list check is replaced by an + `IgnoreMatcher`, built once at watcher startup and rebuilt on the + loop's existing `periodic_secs` tick (no new timer), checked per notify + event as a second layer — this catches an ignore-file edit made while + the watcher is already running, and covers events on paths that + `register_subdirs` didn't anticipate (e.g. a new top-level directory + appearing). +4. **`grep_search`** (`crates/infigraph-core/src/search/mod.rs`) — replace + the `IGNORE_DIRS`-based walk with `ignore_rules::walk_builder`. +5. **`walk_and_scan`** (`crates/infigraph-core/src/security/detect.rs`) — + same replacement. + +## Documentation fix + +`docs/CODE-PARSING.md`'s "File Discovery" → "Ignored directories" section +currently states the hardcoded-list behavior as current for code discovery. +Correct it to describe the real `ignore`-crate-based mechanism (safety list ++ `.gitignore` + `.infigraphignore`), matching what `collect_files` has +actually done for some time. `docs/DOCUMENT-INDEXING.md`'s equivalent +section gets the same correction once `walk_doc_dir` is fixed. + +## Testing + +- New unit tests for `ignore_rules` directly: a fixture tree with a + `.gitignore`, an `.infigraphignore`, and a `scratchpad/`-style directory — + assert both `walk_builder` and `IgnoreMatcher` agree on what's excluded. +- Update `test_code_watcher_ignores_excluded_dirs` + (`crates/infigraph-mcp/tests/watcher_reindex.rs`) and the doc-watcher + equivalent to additionally assert a *gitignored, non-hardcoded* directory + (e.g. `scratchpad/`) is skipped — the direct regression test for this + incident. +- Existing tests asserting the old hardcoded-list names (`node_modules`, + `.git`, etc.) should pass unmodified, since the union safety list is a + superset of every list being replaced. +- A test asserting the watcher's `IgnoreMatcher` picks up a `.gitignore` + edit made mid-run, within one `periodic_secs` tick. + +## Migration / compatibility notes + +This is destined for an upstream PR to `github.com/intuit/infigraph`. Local +`main` was fast-forwarded to `upstream/main` (`e72a6ae`, `v3.2.10`) and +pushed to `origin/main` before this design was written, so the feature +branch for implementation should fork from current `main`, not +`feat/hardening`.
