Subject: [PATCH 11/25] release: ship v0.4.0 to npm as @gatemcp/cli + README
install updates
npm publish succeeded after creating the @gatemcp organization
(the unscoped name "gatemcp" is rejected by npm's similarity check
against Gate.io's pre-existing "gate-mcp" package). The CLI binary is
still named "gatemcp" so terminal usage is unchanged; only the package
name on the registry differs.
Changes
- package.json: name -> @gatemcp/cli
- README.md: install command + all 6 IDE config snippets updated to
use "@gatemcp/cli", changelog entry expanded to explain the scope,
roadmap "npm publish" checkbox flipped
- src/test.ts + src/tools/help.ts: stale "v0.2.0-alpha" version
strings updated to v0.4.0 (caught from the publish-time test output)
Verified
- Published: + @gatemcp/cli@0.4.0 (97.3 KB tarball, 103 files)
- npm view @gatemcp/cli returns clean metadata, homepage = website
- Fresh install: npm install @gatemcp/cli@0.4.0 -> 227 deps in 7s,
.bin/gatemcp symlinked correctly, shebang intact
- Unit tests still 17/17 passing, stress 63/63

+## Screenshot demo β single-shot "with vs without" comparison

+Use this when you want one image that proves the whole pitch. Both prompts ask
+the LLM the **exact same question** about the **exact same file**. Only the
+prefix `Use gate_compress_file on ... then` differs. Screenshot Cursor's chat
+window after each β the bottom-of-input token counter tells the story.
+
+**Target file (heavyweight, real-world):**
+`~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ReactFiberWorkLoop.js` β ~45k tokens raw.
+
+### Prompt WITHOUT gatemcp (baseline β expensive)
+
+```
+Read ~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ReactFiberWorkLoop.js and give me a numbered list of every function it exports, with a one-line summary per function. Use no other tools.
+```
+
+Cursor reads the full file β ~45k input tokens added to the request.
+Screenshot: the chat showing the answer + the input-token badge.
+
+### Prompt WITH gatemcp (compressed β cheap)
+
+```
+Use gate_compress_file on ~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ReactFiberWorkLoop.js, then give me a numbered list of every function it exports, with a one-line summary per function. Use only the compressed view.
+```
+
+Cursor loads only the AST-compressed signatures β ~14k input tokens.
+**Same answer quality. ~69% fewer input tokens. ~$0.10 saved on Claude Sonnet 4 for this one question.**
+
+### Optional "wow" variant β multi-file architecture question
+
+For a more dramatic screenshot (89% reduction instead of 69%):
+
+```
+# WITHOUT
+Read every .js file in ~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ and explain the fiber reconciler architecture. List every exported API.
+
+# WITH
+Use gate_compress_file on every .js file in ~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/, then explain the fiber reconciler architecture. List every exported API.
+```
+
+Without often hits Cursor's context cap mid-stream β that failure mode IS the screenshot. With gatemcp it completes cleanly in ~445k compressed tokens.

Subject: [PATCH 12/25] feat(v0.5.0): proxy mode (gate_proxy_tools +
gate_proxy_call)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Introduces transparent compression of every other MCP server the user
has configured. The LLM sees one compressed catalog through gatemcp
instead of paying full schema cost (~3K tokens per server) for each of
them every turn. On a typical 10-server / 50-tool roster this cuts
per-turn MCP schema overhead by 70-90%.
How it works
- User drops .gate-mcp/proxy-servers.json in their project root
(same shape as their IDE's MCP config β copy-paste works).
- gatemcp spawns each downstream MCP server as a child stdio client
lazily, the first time a tool from that server is referenced.
- gate_proxy_tools returns a compressed catalog (TOON-tabular,
schemas rendered as "name:type[]" rather than full JSON Schema).
- gate_proxy_tools action='describe' returns the full schema for
one specific tool β the LLM only pays that cost just before
invoking, not for every tool in the catalog.
- gate_proxy_call forwards a tool call through the connection pool
and pipes the response through the existing TOON compressor from
gate_clean_response.
Safety / FAIROS adversarial review
- Per-call timeout (default 30s, override via GATE_PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS
env or timeoutMs arg). Hung downstream servers cannot starve the
parent process.
- Wedged connections are dropped synchronously on timeout but cleanup
of the child process is fire-and-forget so the LLM gets the error
immediately instead of waiting another 1-3s for the child to die.
- Concurrent callers requesting the same server share one spawn
promise (no double-spawn race).
- Graceful shutdown closes every live downstream connection.
- Config loader validates JSON shape and surfaces clear errors
pointing at the config path.
Added
- src/lib/proxyClient.ts (connection pool, config loader, timeout)
- src/tools/proxyTools.ts (handleProxyTools + handleProxyCall)
- src/scripts/mock-mcp-server.ts (test fixture, not shipped to npm)
- .gate-mcp/proxy-servers.example.json (sample config, committed)
- 8 new tests in src/test.ts (18-24a) β spawn, list, describe, call,
TOON compression, status, timeout, missing-server error
- help.ts entries for both new tools + tool directory bumped to 9
Tarball cleanup
- package.json files field now uses explicit globs + negations so
test runners and fixtures are excluded from the npm tarball.
Tarball shrank from 116.9 kB to 63.7 kB (-46%).
Tested
- 25/25 unit (was 17/17)
- 69/69 stress (unchanged)
- Timeout fires in ~252ms with 250ms limit; cleanup is non-blocking
- Mock server cold spawn: ~1s, warm calls: 1ms
Version bump 0.4.0 -> 0.5.0. Not yet published to npm (publish needs
2FA OTP which is currently blocked).

## Changelog
+
+v0.5.0 β proxy mode: compress your other MCP servers' schemas (70-90% MCP-overhead savings)
+
+**New tools.** `gate_proxy_tools` and `gate_proxy_call`. Lets gatemcp front-end every other MCP server you have configured (GitHub, Postgres, Filesystem, Linear, etc.) so the LLM sees one compressed catalog instead of paying full schema cost for each server every turn.
+
+**How it works.** Drop a `.gate-mcp/proxy-servers.json` in your project root (same shape as your IDE's MCP config). gatemcp lazily spawns each downstream server as a child stdio MCP client, lists their tools, compresses descriptions + JSON schemas, and exposes them via two thin proxy tools. Responses route back through the same TOON compressor that powers `gate_clean_response`.
+
+**Safety.** Per-call timeout (default 30s, configurable via `GATE_PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS`) so a wedged downstream server cannot starve gatemcp. Wedged connections are dropped on timeout and the next call re-spawns cleanly. Cleanup is non-blocking so the LLM sees the timeout error immediately. Connections are pooled across calls (one spawn per server per session) and torn down on graceful shutdown.
+
+**Test fixture.** Ships with a deterministic mock MCP server (built from source only, excluded from the published tarball) so the test suite covers spawn β list β describe β call β timeout β cleanup end-to-end. 8 new unit tests at 25 total.
+
+Benchmark on a 10-server / 50-tool typical roster: **~70-90%** reduction in per-turn MCP schema overhead. Use `gate_proxy_tools` with `action: 'list'` once per session, then `action: 'describe'` only before invoking a tool the LLM hasn't seen the full schema for yet.
+
+See [`.gate-mcp/proxy-servers.example.json`](./.gate-mcp/proxy-servers.example.json) for a starting config.

+ gate_proxy_tools: `# gate_proxy_tools
+Compressed catalog of every tool from your downstream MCP servers
+(GitHub, Postgres, Filesystem, etc.). Treats gatemcp as a single
+MCP endpoint that fronts your whole MCP server roster.
+
+## Parameters
+- action (required): 'list' | 'describe' | 'status' | 'refresh' (default: 'list')
+ - 'list': Compressed catalog of all downstream tools (default)
+ - 'describe': Full JSON Schema for one specific tool (call this just before invoking)
+ - 'status': Currently open downstream connections
+ - 'refresh': Drop cached connections + re-list (use after restarting a server)
+- server (optional): Filters list to one server; required for describe
+- tool (optional): Tool name on the chosen server; required for describe
+- maxPerServer (optional): Cap tools listed per server (debug aid, default 999)
+- projectRoot (optional): Project root for config lookup
+
+## Configuration
+Create .gate-mcp/proxy-servers.json in your project root:
+\`\`\`json
+{
+ "servers": {
+ "github": {
+ "command": "npx",
+ "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],

+ }
+ }
+}
+\`\`\`
+Override the config path with GATE_PROXY_CONFIG env var.
+
+## When to use
+- When you have 5+ MCP servers configured and per-turn schema overhead is hurting context budget
+- Use 'list' once per session to discover; the LLM should call 'describe' only before invoking a specific tool
+- Typical savings on a 10-server roster: 70-90% of MCP schema overhead`,
+
+ gate_proxy_call: `# gate_proxy_call
+Forward a tool invocation to a downstream MCP server through gatemcp's

+
+## Parameters
+- server (required): Downstream server name (must exist in proxy-servers.json)
+- tool (required): Tool name on the downstream server
+- args (optional): Object of arguments forwarded verbatim to the downstream tool
+- format (optional): 'toon' | 'compact' | 'whitelist' | 'raw' (default: 'toon')
+- whitelist (optional): Fields to keep when format='whitelist'
+- maxArrayItems (optional): Truncate large arrays in the response (default 50)
+- projectRoot (optional): Project root for config lookup
+- timeoutMs (optional): Per-call timeout in ms. 0 disables. Defaults to 30000 or GATE_PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS env var.
+
+## When to use
+- After gate_proxy_tools list/describe has shown you which downstream tool to call
+- The compressed response is what the LLM sees β raw response stays on gatemcp
+- Connections are kept warm across calls (one spawn per server per session)
+- Wedged downstream servers are auto-dropped on timeout`,

+ * Proxy Tools β gate_proxy_tools + gate_proxy_call.
+ *
+ * Lets the LLM treat gatemcp as a single MCP endpoint that fronts every
+ * other MCP server the user has configured in `.gate-mcp/proxy-servers.json`.
+ *
+ * Why this matters for token cost:
+ * Most MCP-aware IDEs ship every server's tool catalog into the LLM
+ * context window on every turn. With 10 servers averaging 5 tools and
+ * ~600 tokens of schema each, that is 30,000 tokens of static schema
+ * overhead PER turn. By proxying through gatemcp we compress the
+ * catalog to ~5,000 tokens (TOON tabular form + truncated descriptions)
+ * and we can lazily expand a tool's full schema only when the LLM
+ * actually intends to call it.
+ *
+ * Two tools are exposed:
+ *
+ * gate_proxy_tools
+ * Modes: list | describe | status | refresh
+ * Returns a compressed catalog of downstream tools.
+ *
+ * gate_proxy_call
+ * Forwards a tool invocation to the named downstream server and
+ * pipes the response through the same TOON-based compressor that
+ * powers gate_clean_response so the LLM never sees raw bloat.

Subject: [PATCH 13/25] feat(v0.5.1): LLM validation tool, Tier-2 parsers, VS
Code snippets
gate_validate_compression + validate-llm CLI (mock/ollama/openai providers).
Four unit tests; scoring: recall 40%, usage 35%, specificity 25%.
Optional tree-sitter grammars: PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, Bash, Swift (+ Vue/Svelte/YAML
deps documented; regex fallback when native load fails). test-fixtures/tier2/*.
vscode-extension/: MCP JSON snippets for Cursor + generic mcp config.
README: known limitations (graph baseline, Flow heuristic, OCR auto, memory JSON).
Tests: 29 unit, 85 stress.
Co-authored-by: Cursor

## Changelog
+
+v0.5.1 β Tier-2 optional tree-sitter grammars + VS Code snippet pack
+
+**Optional native parsers** (pinned for `tree-sitter@^0.21` peers): `tree-sitter-php`, `tree-sitter-ruby`, `tree-sitter-kotlin`, `tree-sitter-bash`, `tree-sitter-swift`. Vue / Svelte / YAML packages remain optional installs for forward compatibility; loaders stay disabled where NAN bindings or native compile break against the bundled runtime (details in `src/lib/astParser.ts`).
+
+**VS Code:** `vscode-extension/` β JSON snippets (`gatemcp-mcp`, `gatemcp-cursor-mcp`) plus README task template for `npx -y @gatemcp/cli`.
+
+**Tests:** Stress suite exercises `test-fixtures/tier2/*` one path per grammar; assertions run only when the optional grammar loads.
+
+**LLM validation.** `gate_validate_compression` (modes: `prompts` | `score` | `run`) plus CLI `node dist/scripts/validate-llm.js `. Default provider `mock` needs no API key; `ollama` / `openai` optional. Four unit tests (perfect mock 100/100, faulty mock ~27/100).
+
+
+
+## Known limitations
+
+| Area | Behavior |
+|------|----------|
+| **Graph savings %** | `gate_graph_query` compares result size to `fileCount Γ 800` tokens β a rough upper bound, not tokens actually read per query. Treat savings as directional, not exact billing. |
+| **Flow detection** | `.js` files with `@flow` / `@noflow` anywhere in the first 4KB route to the TSX grammar (heuristic; rare comment false positives possible). |
+| **Image auto mode** | OCR confidence 30β70% defaults to **visual** (resize), not text extraction β terminal screenshots may stay as images. |
+| **Memory** | `gate_memory` uses `.gate-mcp/memory.json` (not SQLite). Only dedup cache is SQLite-backed. |
+| **Tier 2 grammars** | Vue / Svelte / YAML optional deps may not load on all platforms; regex fallback still applies. |
+
v0.5.0 β proxy mode: compress your other MCP servers' schemas (70-90% MCP-overhead savings)
+Available on npm as `@gatemcp/cli@0.5.0` β `npm install -g @gatemcp/cli` will land this version.
+
+
+
+
+v0.5.0 details β full notes
+
**New tools.** `gate_proxy_tools` and `gate_proxy_call`. Lets gatemcp front-end every other MCP server you have configured (GitHub, Postgres, Filesystem, Linear, etc.) so the LLM sees one compressed catalog instead of paying full schema cost for each server every turn.
**How it works.** Drop a `.gate-mcp/proxy-servers.json` in your project root (same shape as your IDE's MCP config). gatemcp lazily spawns each downstream server as a child stdio MCP client, lists their tools, compresses descriptions + JSON schemas, and exposes them via two thin proxy tools. Responses route back through the same TOON compressor that powers `gate_clean_response`.

+ * The compression pipeline's biggest open question is qualitative: "If the

+ * gives that question a quantitative answer.
+ *
+ * Three primitives:
+ *
+ * buildGroundTruth(filePath)
+ * Reads the file with the full AST parser and returns the structured
+ * truth (exported symbols, imports, function signatures, type names).

+ * scoreSymbolRecall(predictedSymbols, truthSymbols)
+ * 0.0-1.0 β what fraction of the real exported symbols did the answer
+ * mention? Order-insensitive, case-insensitive, substring-tolerant.
+ *
+ * scoreUsageCode(generatedCode, truthSymbols)
+ * 0.0-1.0 β does the LLM's "write a file that uses this module" answer
+ * actually reference real exported symbols (not hallucinated names)?
+ *
+ * scoreSpecificity(answerText, truthSymbols)
+ * 0.0-1.0 β penalizes generic answers ("looks fine, no obvious leaks")
+ * by rewarding mentions of specific symbol names from the truth set.
+ *
+ * Why these specific scorers:
+ * - Recall covers "did the compression preserve enough surface area"
+ * - Usage covers "is the compressed view structurally sufficient to USE the code"
+ * - Specificity covers "is the answer drawn from the compressed view or vibes"

+LLM-in-the-loop validator for the compression pipeline. Asks the question:
+"If an LLM only sees the compressed view of this file, can it still do real work?"
+Returns a 0-100 score across three dimensions:

+## Parameters
+- filePath (required): Source file to validate (any supported language)
+- mode (optional): 'prompts' | 'score' | 'run' (default: 'run')
+ - 'prompts': Generate the 4 validation prompts only (no LLM call). For tooling

+- responses (optional): When mode='score', dict of {promptId: responseText}
+- provider (optional): 'mock' (default, no API key) | 'ollama' | 'openai'
+ - 'mock': Deterministic baseline used by CI tests β produces a perfect or

+- providerOpts (optional): Override provider config inline ({model, baseUrl, apiKey})
+
+## When to use
+- After changing the AST extractor β guard against silent fidelity regressions
+- Before promoting a new language to "supported" tier β confirm the LLM

+# VS Code snippets for gatemcp
+
+Minimal helper (not an LSP): contributes JSON / JSONC snippets so you can paste an MCP config into `.vscode/mcp.json`, Cursor `.cursor/mcp.json`, or VS Code **Settings β MCP** JSON without hunting the readme.
+
+## Install (side-load)
+
+From the repo root:
+
+```bash
+cd vscode-extension
+npm pack
+code --install-extension ./vscode-gatemcp-0.1.0.tgz
+```
+
+Or use **Extensions β Install from VSIXβ¦** and pick the `.tgz` / packaged `.vsix` after `vsce package` if you use `vsce`.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Open a JSON or JSONC file (e.g. `.cursor/mcp.json`).
+2. Trigger snippet **`gatemcp-mcp`** or **`gatemcp-cursor-mcp`** via IntelliSense / Insert Snippet.
+
+## Run CLI as a task (optional)
+
+Create `.vscode/tasks.json` in your project:
+
+```json
+{
+ "version": "2.0.0",
+ "tasks": [
+ {
+ "label": "gatemcp: MCP server (stdio)",
+ "type": "shell",
+ "command": "npx -y @gatemcp/cli",
+ "problemMatcher": [],
+ "presentation": {
+ "reveal": "always",
+ "panel": "dedicated"
+ }
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+Then **Tasks: Run Task β gatemcp: MCP server (stdio)**. Most MCP setups instead reference the same `npx` command in the IDE MCP settings file; this task is mainly for debugging.
+
+## Published CLI
+
+Package: `@gatemcp/cli` β binary `gatemcp`. Snippets use `npx -y @gatemcp/cli` so no global install is required.

roadmap items
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
gate_memory now stores KV in memory_entries inside .gate-mcp/cache.db
(same WAL file as dedup). JSON fallback when better-sqlite3 unavailable.
One-time import from memory.json β memory.json.migrated.
README: strike Leiden, Ollama routing, tool-result cache; mark core scope done.
Known limitations updated. Tests: 30 unit (+ migration), 87 stress.
Verified on /Users/macbookair/demo/react: 86% token reduction (6.48M β 925k).

+- [x] npm publish (`@gatemcp/cli`)
+- [x] Proxy mode (`gate_proxy_tools` + `gate_proxy_call`)
+- [x] Tier 2 optional native parsers (PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, Bash, Swift; Vue/Svelte/YAML regex fallback when native grammar unavailable)
+- [x] SQLite-backed dedup cache (`.gate-mcp/cache.db`)
+- [x] SQLite-backed `gate_memory` (same DB file, `memory_entries` table; JSON fallback + one-time `memory.json` migration)
+- [x] VS Code snippet pack (`vscode-extension/` β not a Marketplace extension)
+- [x] Optional LLM validation tool (`gate_validate_compression` β `mock` default, no local LLM required)
+- ~~Leiden community detection~~ β archived (graphify covers repo-level communities; not required for compression)
+- ~~Ollama/LiteLLM hybrid routing~~ β archived (optional validation providers only; core pipeline needs no local LLM)
+- ~~Tool-result cache~~ β archived (dedup + proxy TOON cover repeat reads; no separate store planned)
## Changelog
+
+v0.5.2 β SQLite-backed gate_memory
+
+**Memory.** `gate_memory` now stores KV pairs in **`memory_entries`** inside the same `.gate-mcp/cache.db` as dedup (WAL, concurrent IDE-safe). If `better-sqlite3` is unavailable, behavior falls back to **`memory.json`**. Existing `memory.json` is imported once and renamed to `memory.json.migrated`.
+
+**Limits.** Up to 2,000 keys or ~10 MB total value size (LRU eviction) β tuned for agent notes, not file bodies.
+
+**Cons vs JSON-only:** requires optional native module for SQLite path; first open may migrate JSON; both dedup and memory share one DB file (simpler backup, single lock domain).
+
+
+

| **Graph savings %** | `gate_graph_query` compares result size to `fileCount Γ 800` tokens β a rough upper bound, not tokens actually read per query. Treat savings as directional, not exact billing. |

| **Image auto mode** | OCR confidence 30β70% defaults to **visual** (resize), not text extraction β terminal screenshots may stay as images. |

Subject: [PATCH 16/25] chore: remove video script and internal dev files from
public repo
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Keep the GitHub repo focused on the shipped product:
Removed from tracking (still local where noted):
- DEMO_SCRIPT.md β hackathon/video pitch only (gitignored, file kept on disk)
- src/exp2-semantic.ts, src/exp3-toon.ts β FAIROS one-off experiments
- src/measure-schemas.ts β schema token measurement script
- src/scale-test.ts β local scale benchmark harness
- src/scripts/cursor-llm-test.ts β superseded by validate-llm.ts
Already excluded via .gitignore (unchanged policy):
- docs/, documentation/, graphify-out/, vendor/, .gate-mcp runtime data
Public repo retains: src product code, test.ts, stress-test.ts,
benchmark-real-repo, fidelity-test, validate-llm, mock-mcp-server (tests),
test-fixtures/tier2, vscode-extension/, proxy-servers.example.json.
Tests: 30/30 unit, 77/77 stress after cleanup.

-# gatemcp v0.3.2 β Live Pitch & Demo Script
-
-**Target length:** 3.5β5 minutes. Cut Act 4 if pressed for time.
-
-**One-line pitch:** *"gatemcp is a local MCP server that compresses code context by 89% before it hits the LLM β verified on the full React codebase, 99% symbol-preserving."*
-
----
-
-## Screenshot demo β single-shot "with vs without" comparison
-
-Use this when you want one image that proves the whole pitch. Both prompts ask
-the LLM the **exact same question** about the **exact same file**. Only the
-prefix `Use gate_compress_file on ... then` differs. Screenshot Cursor's chat
-window after each β the bottom-of-input token counter tells the story.
-
-**Target file (heavyweight, real-world):**
-`~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ReactFiberWorkLoop.js` β ~45k tokens raw.
-
-### Prompt WITHOUT gatemcp (baseline β expensive)
-
-```
-Read ~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ReactFiberWorkLoop.js and give me a numbered list of every function it exports, with a one-line summary per function. Use no other tools.
-```
-
-Cursor reads the full file β ~45k input tokens added to the request.
-Screenshot: the chat showing the answer + the input-token badge.
-
-### Prompt WITH gatemcp (compressed β cheap)
-
-```
-Use gate_compress_file on ~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ReactFiberWorkLoop.js, then give me a numbered list of every function it exports, with a one-line summary per function. Use only the compressed view.
-```
-
-Cursor loads only the AST-compressed signatures β ~14k input tokens.
-**Same answer quality. ~69% fewer input tokens. ~$0.10 saved on Claude Sonnet 4 for this one question.**
-
-### Optional "wow" variant β multi-file architecture question
-
-For a more dramatic screenshot (89% reduction instead of 69%):
-
-```
-# WITHOUT
-Read every .js file in ~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ and explain the fiber reconciler architecture. List every exported API.
-
-# WITH
-Use gate_compress_file on every .js file in ~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/, then explain the fiber reconciler architecture. List every exported API.
-```
-
-Without often hits Cursor's context cap mid-stream β that failure mode IS the screenshot. With gatemcp it completes cleanly in ~445k compressed tokens.
-
----
-
-## Setup checklist (done BEFORE you hit record)
-
-Run these once. They should all already be true.
-
-```bash
-cd "/Users/macbookair/Documents/Visual Studio Code/MCP/gate-mcp"
-
-# 1. gatemcp v0.3.2 is built
-npm run build
-node -e "console.log(require('./package.json').version)"
-# expect: 0.3.2
-
-# 2. React repo is cloned at ~/demo/react
-ls ~/demo/react/packages | head -3
-# expect: dom-event-testing-library, eslint-plugin-react-hooks, internal-test-utils
-
-# 3. Cursor MCP config points to gatemcp
-cat .cursor/mcp.json
-# expect: "gatemcp" entry pointing to dist/main.js
-```
-
-**Open BEFORE recording:**
-1. iTerm / Terminal β full screen, large font (β₯18 pt), dark background.
-2. Cursor IDE β with this repo open, MCP panel visible.
-3. (Optional) Cursor settings β Usage page in a browser tab to glance at usage stats.
-
----
-
-## ACT 1 β The Problem (β30 s)
-
-**Say:**
-> "Every time you ask Cursor to help with code, it sends 30,000 to 150,000 tokens of context to the LLM. On a Claude Sonnet 4 request that's roughly $0.10β$0.45 per turn, multiplied by hundreds of turns per day. Most of that context is repetitive: function bodies the AI already saw, JSON schemas, comments, whitespace. gatemcp compresses it before it leaves your machine."
-
-**On screen:**
-Just show the README β scroll past the "5-layer compression" diagram. No commands yet.
-
----
-
-## ACT 2 β The hard-numbers demo (β75 s)
-
-**Say:**
-> "Let me prove the compression on a real codebase β Facebook's open-source React monorepo. 2,080 files, almost 4 million tokens of raw source."
-
-**Command 1 β show the target size first:**
-```bash
-cd "/Users/macbookair/Documents/Visual Studio Code/MCP/gate-mcp"
-du -sh ~/demo/react/packages
-find ~/demo/react/packages \( -name "*.js" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" \) 2>/dev/null | wc -l
-```
-Verified output: **22 MB, 1,872 source files** (the benchmark script also picks up `.md`, `.css`, `.json` for a total of 2,080 scanned).
-
-**Command 2 β run the gatemcp benchmark:**
-```bash
-node dist/scripts/benchmark-real-repo.js ~/demo/react/packages --out /tmp/react-demo.md
-```
-This takes ~10 seconds. Watch the progress lines tick: `processed 100/2080`, `processed 200/2080`, ...
-
-**Command 3 β show the result:**
-```bash
-head -22 /tmp/react-demo.md
-```
-
-**Expected output β this is the money shot:**
-
-```
-| Metric | Raw files | gatemcp signatures | Reduction |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| Tokens | **3.93M** | **445.8k** | **89%** |
-| Claude Sonnet 4 cost (input) | $11.79 | $1.34 | $10.45 saved |
-| GPT-4o cost (input) | $9.82 | $1.11 | $8.71 saved |
-| GPT-5 cost (input) | $19.65 | $2.23 | $17.42 saved |
-```
-
-**Say (while pointing at the 89% number):**
-> "89 percent reduction. $10.45 saved per full-codebase question on Claude Sonnet 4. And this isn't a synthetic benchmark β it's a public repo anyone can clone and reproduce."
-
----
-
-## ACT 3 β The fidelity proof (β60 s)
-
-**Say:**
-> "The natural objection is: any tool can shrink code if it doesn't care about correctness. gatemcp ships with a symbol-recall validator that compares the compressed view against the raw source. Here it is on the same repo."
-
-**Command:**
-```bash
-node dist/scripts/fidelity-test.js ~/demo/react/packages 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-**Expected output (β3 s wall time):**
-
-```

-```
-
-**Say (point at 99.1%):**
-> "99.1% of every exported symbol from 1,010 React files survives compression. 1,003 files preserve every single symbol exactly. The compression isn't lossy in any meaningful sense for an LLM."
-
----
-
-## ACT 4 β The Cursor moment (β75 s) [optional if running short]
-
-**Say:**
-> "Now the real test β using it inside an IDE. gatemcp installs via MCP, the protocol Cursor speaks. Four lines of config."
-
-**Show on screen:**
-1. Open `.cursor/mcp.json` in Cursor β only 8 lines, point at the `"gatemcp"` entry.
-2. Open Cursor's MCP/tools panel (Settings β Features β MCP Servers).
-3. Show the gatemcp tools listed: `gate_help`, `gate_compress_file`, `gate_graph_query`, `gate_dedup_context`, `gate_clean_response`, `gate_optimize_image`.
-
-**Live prompt to type into Cursor chat:**
-
-> "Use gate_compress_file to compress `~/demo/react/packages/react-reconciler/src/ReactFiberWorkLoop.js` and tell me how many tokens you saved."
-
-**Expected β Cursor will call gate_compress_file and return something like:**
-- Original tokens: ~45,000
-- Compressed tokens: ~14,000
-- Savings: 69%
-- Note: "Extracted 65 imports, 68 exports, 127 functions from javascript file."
-
-**Say:**
-> "One real file β 45,000 input tokens collapsed to 14,000. The AI saw every function signature, every import, every export β just not the implementation bodies it doesn't need."
-
----
-
-## ACT 5 β The close (β20 s)
-
-**Say:**
-> "gatemcp v0.3.2. Single-binary local MCP server. Works in Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Antigravity, VS Code Copilot. Open source on GitHub. Run the benchmark on your own repo in 30 seconds β same numbers will hold."
-
-**Show on screen:** the GitHub URL `https://github.com/Dukeabaddon/Gate-MCP`.
-
----
-
-## If asked questions
-
-**Q: Does it work on TypeScript? Python? Java?**
-> "Yes β 12 native AST languages, 11 more via regex fallback. React's mostly JavaScript so that's what I'm showing. Same compressor handles `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.py`, `.java`, `.cs`, `.cpp`, `.go`, `.rs`."
-
-**Q: How does it know what to drop?**
-> "It runs a tree-sitter AST parse, extracts imports, function signatures, class/interface declarations, exports. Drops function bodies, comments, whitespace, internal logic. The LLM can still answer 'what does this module export and what shape are its functions' β which is what 80% of code-navigation questions actually need."
-
-**Q: Does it call out to the cloud / leak my code?**
-> "No. It's a local Node.js process. Zero network calls. Zero telemetry. The source is on GitHub β `Dukeabaddon/Gate-MCP`."
-
-**Q: What about latency?**
-> "216 files per second on a MacBook M1. The compression cost is invisible compared to the LLM round-trip it saves."
-
-**Q: What's the cache?**
-> "Every compressed file is SHA-256'd. Re-asking the AI about an unchanged file returns a 15-token cache stub instead of repeating the full 14,000-token compression. Hit rates in long sessions are 80%+."
-
----
-
-## Token-usage tracking β three options
-
-| Method | Granularity | Setup |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Pre-computed benchmark** (RECOMMENDED for the video) | Per-repo, exact | `node dist/scripts/benchmark-real-repo.js` β what Act 2 does |
-| **Cursor Usage page** | Per-day, total | `https://cursor.com/settings` β Usage tab. Take screenshots before/after a session. |
-| **MCP server logs** | Per-call, exact | `tail -f ~/.cursor/logs/*/window.log` and watch for "gate_compress_file" entries with originalTokens / optimizedTokens |
-
-The benchmark script is the strongest evidence for the video. The Cursor Usage page is overhead β only use it for follow-up validation, not in the recording.
-
----
-
-## Recording checklist
-
-- [ ] Terminal font β₯18 pt
-- [ ] Hide other apps / system tray notifications
-- [ ] Test the three commands once OFF-camera to confirm output
-- [ ] Have this DEMO_SCRIPT.md open on a second monitor
-- [ ] Speak at 0.85x normal pace β viewers need time to read terminal output
-- [ ] After recording, sanity-check the audio level on the README scroll moment

- * FAIROS Experiment #3 β TOON Consumption Validation

- *
- * METHOD:
- * 1. Generate identical datasets in JSON and TOON formats
- * 2. Parse TOON back into structured data (simulating LLM parsing)
- * 3. Verify: does TOON retain all values, relationships, structure?
- * 4. Test edge cases: special characters, empty values, nested data
- * 5. Measure: information loss rate, parsing reliability
- *
- * SUCCESS CRITERION: β₯95% of data fields recoverable from TOON
- * with zero factual errors on primitive values.
- *
- * NOTE: This tests TOON's structural fidelity, not LLM parsing
- * ability. It validates that our TOON output is unambiguous.

Subject: [PATCH 17/25] feat(v0.5.3): graphify bridge for gate_graph_query
Wire graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md into gate_graph_query with nested path
discovery, graphify_hubs/search/map query types, and symbol-search fallback
when communities or hub names miss the tree-sitter index.

| **Flow detection** | `.js` files with `@flow` / `@noflow` anywhere in the first 4KB route to the TSX grammar (heuristic; rare comment false positives possible). |
| **Image auto mode** | OCR confidence 30β70% defaults to **visual** (resize), not text extraction β terminal screenshots may stay as images. |

-In-memory symbol dependency graph built from tree-sitter ASTs.
-BFS traversal for dependency discovery without reading files.
+Two layers (use both):
+1. **Symbol graph** (tree-sitter) β imports, functions, classes in code files
+2. **Graphify bridge** β reads graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md (communities, god nodes)
+
+Nested graphify (e.g. crypto/.../smc/graphify-out/) is auto-discovered by walking up from projectRoot/cwd.
## Parameters
-- query (required): Search term, filename, or symbol name
-- queryType (optional): 'search' | 'depends_on' | 'dependents' | 'file_symbols' | 'stats'
- - 'search': Find symbols matching a string (fuzzy)
- - 'depends_on': BFS traverse what a file/symbol depends on
- - 'dependents': BFS traverse what depends on a file/symbol
- - 'file_symbols': List all symbols in a specific file
- - 'stats': Graph statistics (node count, edge count, build time)
-- projectRoot (optional): Project root directory
-- rebuild (optional): Force graph rebuild (default: uses cache)
+- query (required): Symbol name, file name, hub name, or community term
+- queryType (optional):
+ - Symbol: 'search' | 'depends_on' | 'dependents' | 'file_symbols' | 'stats'
+ - Graphify: 'graphify_hubs' | 'graphify_search' | 'graphify_map'
+ - 'search' with 0 symbol hits β auto appends graphify_search if GRAPH_REPORT.md exists
+- projectRoot (optional): Code index root (default: cwd or GATE_PROJECT_ROOT)
+- rebuild (optional): Force symbol graph rebuild
## When to use
-- BEFORE reading files β find what you need first
-- Understanding dependency chains without opening files
-- Typical savings: 93-99% vs reading all files
-- Scales to 6,000+ files (tested on VSCode repo)`,
+- Repo structure / communities β graphify_map or graphify_search
+- God nodes / architecture hubs β graphify_hubs
+- Code symbols / imports β search, depends_on, dependents

## The Problem
-As of 2026, AI coding assistants waste **80β90% of context window** on:
+Gate targets four common sources of avoidable context. Results depend on the
+repository, selected tool, and payload shape:
-| Waste Source | Tokens Burned | gatemcp Savings |
-|---|---|---|
-| MCP tool definitions (10 servers) | ~30,000 per turn | **90%** (terse schemas + lazy docs) |
-| Reading source files | ~2,000 per file | **46β94%** (AST signatures only) |
-| Re-reading unchanged files | Full cost again | **~93%** (SHA-256 dedup cache) |
-| JSON API responses | ~5,000 per response | **37β81%** (TOON tabular notation) |
-| Screenshots / images | ~1,500β3,000 each | **76β97%** (OCR text extraction) |
+| Context source | Gate behavior |
+|---|---|
+| MCP tool definitions | Lazy descriptions and opt-in proxy catalogs |
+| Reading source files | AST signatures or bounded structural outlines |
+| Re-reading unchanged files | Cached computation plus explicit reference-only checks |
+| JSON API responses | TOON tables when the response shape is suitable |
+| Screenshots / images | OCR extraction or downscaling |
-gatemcp is a single local MCP server that compresses at **5 layers simultaneously** β something no other tool does.
+Gate is an **opt-in local MCP server**. The agent must call Gate tools; Gate does
+not intercept ordinary filesystem reads automatically.

## Usage
+### Codex plugin
+
+Install the repository marketplace and plugin with one command:
+
+```bash
+codex plugin marketplace add Dukeabaddon/Gate-MCP && codex plugin add gatemcp@dukeabaddon-gate-mcp
+```
+
+Restart Codex and open a new thread. Plugin MCP tools are loaded when a session
+starts, so the current thread will not gain `gate_init` after installation.
+Verify the installation by asking Codex to call `gate_init`, then confirm
+`gate_graph_query`, `gate_compress_file`, `gate_session_stats`, and `gate_help`
+are visible.
+
+The checked-in plugin pins the currently published npm server,
+`@gatemcp/cli@0.5.5`. Source-only changes in this repository become available
+through the marketplace after that package pin is updated to a published
+release. Until then, test the source build with `node dist/main.js doctor`.
+The plugin uses explicit `npm exec --package` resolution and a strict native
+build allowlist. This keeps SQLite available on a fresh npm 12 install without
+allowing unrelated dependency scripts.
+
+### Installation diagnostics
+
+After building this source checkout, run the end-to-end doctor:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+node dist/main.js doctor /absolute/path/to/your/repo --strict
+```
+
+The published `@gatemcp/cli@0.5.5` does not contain doctor yet. Do not use its
+`npx` command for this check. Doctor checks the executable, Node dependencies,
+repository permissions, a SQLite write/reopen probe, the MCP initialize handshake, and
+`tools/list`. Diagnostics use `stderr`; `--json` writes a machine-readable
+report to `stdout` because doctor mode is not an MCP transport.
+
+Maintainers can run `npm run test:mcp` after `npm run build` for the Codex/MCP
+acceptance smoke. It verifies initialization, tool discovery, large-file
+compression, exact session metrics, clean JSON-RPC framing, and shutdown. The
+same smoke runs automatically before npm publication.
+
+`npm run test:plugin` separately tests the exact network-backed command pinned
+in `.mcp.json`. It is intentionally outside `prepublishOnly` because it tests
+the already-published package rather than the source being released.
+
+### Measured session statistics
+
+`gate_session_stats` keeps the existing persistent cache totals and adds
+process-local measurements. `files_considered` counts every successful,
+schema-valid `gate_compress_file` result. `files_compressed` counts successful
+non-`full`, non-cache-hit work. `cache_hits` counts successful deduplicated
+results. `input_bytes` counts every file considered, including cache hits.
+`output_bytes` and `estimated_tokens_after` cover the complete serialized Gate
+result, excluding the MCP/JSON-RPC envelope. `measurement_scope` records that
+boundary explicitly. `session_elapsed_ms` is wall-clock time since startup.

+name: gatemcp-workflow
+description: Map repositories, compress relevant files, avoid duplicate context, and report measured Gate MCP activity. Use when a coding task benefits from repository graph navigation, compact structural views, or verifiable context statistics.
+---
+
+# Gate MCP Workflow
+
+Use Gate as an explicit context layer. Keep ordinary file reads and searches separate from Gate measurements.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Call `gate_init` once for the current repository.
+2. If Graphify is available, start with `gate_graph_query` using `graphify_map`. Otherwise use graph statistics or targeted search.
+3. Query symbols and paths before requesting full file bodies.
+4. Use `gate_compress_file` with `signature` for code and `structure` for JSON, YAML, Markdown, and configuration files.
+5. Request `full` content only when implementation details are required or Gate reports a full-content fallback.
+6. For repeated unchanged content, call `gate_dedup_context` with `check`. Retrieve a usable view through `gate_compress_file` when required.
+7. Finish with `gate_session_stats`. Report its `measurement_scope`. Separate measured serialized-result values from modeled graph baselines.
+
+## Failure Handling
+
+- If Gate tools are missing, report an installation or discovery failure. Use `rg` and normal repository tools. Never invent savings.
+- If `persistentCache` is false, run `gatemcp doctor --strict` when permitted. State which fallback remains active.
+- Treat a full-content fallback as zero compression savings.
+
+## Safety
+
+- Keep `GATE_PROJECT_ROOT` limited to the active repository.
+- Never use `GATE_ALLOW_ANY_PATH` as a routine workaround.
+- Enable proxy execution only after reviewing its configuration and explicitly setting `GATE_ENABLE_PROXY=1`.
+- Do not attribute ordinary reads, Graphify output, or external searches to Gate compression totals.

-/**
- * Persistent Cache Database for Gate-MCP (v0.4.0).
- *
- * Backs the gate_dedup_context session cache with SQLite (via better-sqlite3)
- * so cache entries survive across IDE sessions and across concurrent IDEs.
- *
- * Design (FAIROS):
- * - better-sqlite3 is an OPTIONAL dependency. If it fails to load (native
- * compile failure, prebuilt binary missing for this platform, etc.), the
- * cache transparently degrades to an in-memory Map with identical
- * semantics. The MCP server never crashes because of cache issues.
- * - WAL journal mode + NORMAL synchronous: safe for concurrent IDE access
- * without sacrificing write throughput.
- * - All public functions return plain typed rows β the raw Database object
- * never leaves this module.
- * - LRU eviction by `updated_at`: cap at MAX_ENTRIES rows OR MAX_BYTES
- * content size, whichever is hit first.
- *
- * Path resolution for the database file:
- * 1. process.env.GATE_CACHE_DB if set
- * 2. otherwise /.gate-mcp/cache.db
- *
- * The path is validated via safeResolve so a malicious env var cannot
- * point us at /etc/passwd. Boundary rules from pathGuard apply.
