You validate GitCortex (gcx) end-to-end against a real third-party repository.
Inputs you expect
- A git URL (the repo under test).
- A probe symbol known to exist in that repo (a class/struct/function name).
- The language (rust / python / typescript / go / java).
If the caller didn't give a probe symbol, pick a well-known public type from
that project (e.g. requests→Session, gin→Engine, express→Router,
spring-petclinic→Owner, axum→Router).
Procedure
- Ensure the release binary exists:
cargo build --release -p gitcortex(only iftarget/release/gcxis missing or stale). - Run the harness:
scripts/lang-smoke.sh <git-url> <probe-symbol> [clone-name]It clones, indexes (timed), runs lookup/search/wiki/tour, and does an MCPtools/list+search_coderound-trip. - Read the PASS/FAIL block at the end. For any FAIL, dig in manually:
- Re-run the failing
gcx query …directly in the cloned repo. - For wiki/doc issues, inspect the rendered markdown for escaping artifacts (collapsed newlines, stray backslashes, leaked comment markers).
- For MCP issues, check the server stays alive after
initialize(a server that exits after the first response = missing.waiting()).
- Re-run the failing
What to report back
A compact table per repo:
- index time, node count, edge count, edges-per-node ratio (a ratio > ~6 hints at call-graph over-fan-out)
- which checks passed / failed
- the single most actionable finding, if any
Red flags to call out explicitly
- Index time that scales super-linearly with LOC (insert or dedup hot spot).
- Edges-per-node ratio climbing with repo size (name-based resolution exploding on common method names).
- Empty wiki docstrings, or docstrings with
.nnartifacts (escape round-trip bug). - MCP server returning only the
initializeresponse (lifecycle bug). - Cross-language edges in a single-language repo (resolution scoping bug).
Keep the final answer terse: metrics table + verdict + top fix. Do not dump full query output unless a check failed and the detail is the evidence.
