Summary

  • detect NUL-containing pre/post snapshots before language or Tree-sitter analysis
  • preserve exact Git object IDs, modes, and SHA-256 content identities while leaving binary-only claims unset
  • verify added and deleted binary snapshots retain one-sided identity without inventing absent-side provenance
  • emit a scoped PARTIAL_ANALYSIS warning and count the file as skipped instead of parsing binary bytes as source
  • document the binary snapshot contract

Tests

  • python3 -m pytest -q (120 passed)
  • python3 -m compileall -q diffgraph tests
  • git diff --check
  • npm test in WildestAI/wildest-vscode-ext (65 passed)
  • generated a real binary DiffGraph artifact and verified the extension's v2 parser accepts it

Part of #21.

This completes the NUL-containing binary snapshot slice. Remaining issue scope includes broader missing/undecodable edge-case fixtures and any binary classifications driven by Git attributes rather than snapshot bytes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added safe handling for snapshots containing binary content, including NUL bytes.
    • Preserved file identity, content hashes, and file modes for binary snapshots.
    • Added scoped partial-analysis warnings identifying affected snapshots.
    • Binary snapshots are excluded from structural parsing and counted as skipped files.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Binary files are no longer parsed as source code.
    • Language, line counts, symbols, and relationships remain unset when analysis is skipped.
    • Missing snapshots continue to be handled without incorrect binary detection or line counts.

Walkthrough

The change detects NUL-byte content in pre-change and post-change snapshots. Binary files skip language classification, line counting, and structural parsing while preserving file evidence and reporting PARTIAL_ANALYSIS. Tests and documentation cover this behavior.

Changes

Binary snapshot analysis

Layer / File(s) Summary
Binary detection and analysis handling
diffgraph/structural.py
Detects binary content independently on each snapshot side. Binary files skip parsing and line counting, increment files_skipped, and emit a scoped warning.
Binary behavior validation and documentation
tests/test_structural.py, README.md
Tests cover binary replacements, snapshot transitions, provenance hashes, object IDs, metadata, and warnings. Documentation describes preserved evidence and omitted source metadata.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f29c7

The PR adds binary snapshot handling and preserves one-sided provenance identities; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Add coverage for pre-change and both-side binary snapshots.

The test writes NUL-containing bytes only as the post-change content. It does not exercise the pre-change branch in _binary_sides or the warning text for both sides. Add binary-to-text and binary-to-binary cases. Assert the corresponding side names and the same null and empty analysis results.

Add coverage for distinct index and worktree content.

Add a fixture that commits version A, stages binary version B, then writes text version C without staging. Assert that the unstaged artifact uses version B for old IDs, modes, and SHA-256 values, version C for new values, and reports pre-change. Use the index object for staged new IDs and unstaged old IDs.

@avikalpg Ready for human review on current head f29c794.

Evidence: branch contains main and is mergeable/clean; CodeRabbit's current-head check is successful with no unresolved review threads or actionable comments; CI passes on Python 3.10/3.11/3.12. Revalidated locally: python3 -m pytest -q (120 passed), python3 -m compileall -q diffgraph tests, git diff --check; extension compatibility: npm test (65 passed). The diff stays within deterministic binary pre/post snapshot provenance and leaves structural/AI-derived claims unset for binary content.
