Open issues1

  • Issue#127861[Bug]: file-name search re-walks the whole tree with rg on every call (19s under --sortr=modified); an indexed locate/plocate lookup would avoid the walk

Open PRs2

  • PR#127864fix(completion): avoid metadata sort for project files
  • PR#129607fix(completion): bound the @-file walk instead of buffering it
How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (structural links throughout): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
  • Pairwise link density 0.67: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
