Risk Matrix: tree-sitter
|
| Risk Area | Severity | Likelihood | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Node.js API breakage (Parser, Language, Query, SyntaxNode) |
🟢 None | 🟢 None | Zero call-site changes needed. parser.parse(), setLanguage(), Query.matches(), all node properties unchanged. |
| Grammar package peer dep warnings | 🟡 Low | 🔴 Certain | npm will warn for 12/13 packages. Non-blocking. Grammar packages work at runtime. |
| Runtime breakage of ^0.21 grammars with 0.22.4 | 🟡 Low | 🟢 Unlikely | Verified empirically — all parsers work. C ABI is stable across this range. Risk rises with future 0.22.x+ bumps. |
| tree-sitter-swift 0.6→0.7.1 | 🟢 Positive | ✅ Required | 0.7.1 adds support for #Predicate, typed throws, ~Copyable. Removes broken postinstall script. Hard dependency on tree-sitter ≥0.22.1. |
| Native rebuild on install | 🟡 Low | 🔴 Certain | Expected — node-gyp always rebuilds for major ABI changes. Same as upgrading any native module. |
| Regressions in other languages | 🟢 None | 🟢 None | 1,589 tests pass, 13 parsers verified. |
| Future grammar upgrades blocked | 🟡 Medium | 🟡 Possible | Grammar packages declaring ^0.21.x peers won't bump to their latest if that requires tree-sitter ^0.22.x. Upgrading now makes this a non-issue going forward. |
| Downstream consumers on ^0.21.0 | 🟢 None | 🟢 None | npm semver: consumers pinned to ^0.21.0 are unaffected by 0.22.4 existing on the registry. |
Overall Risk: 🟡 LOW
The upgrade is safe. The only practical side effects are peer dependency warnings from 12 grammar packages (cosmetic) and a native rebuild on npm install (expected). The API surface is identical, all tests pass, and tree-sitter-swift 0.7.1 requires this upgrade — there is no path to Swift support without it.
The peer dep warnings will self-resolve as grammar packages release new versions. The ^0.22.1 requirement from tree-sitter-swift@0.7.1 is the binding constraint that makes 0.22.4 the minimum viable version.
Reviewer note on "risk matrix is unreasonable": The lock file confirms 0.22.4 is already the installed version. The upgrade is already in effect and tested. The risk analysis above supports that the upgrade is justified and low-risk, not merely a nice-to-have.

Code Review — Swift Support: Query Fix, Export Detection, Implicit Imports, Constructor Resolution
Solid work bringing Swift to first-class status. The changes show good understanding of Swift's module visibility model. Notes below:
🐛 Potential Issues
-
Export detection inversion is a breaking change for existing Swift indexes — The old checker required
public/openfor export; the new one exports everything exceptprivate/fileprivate. This is semantically correct for Swift, but anyone with an existing index will see dramatically different results after upgrading. Consider adding a migration note or re-index warning in the changelog. -
groupSwiftFilesByTargetuses string prefix matching for target assignment —normalized.indexOf(dirPrefix)could match false positives if target directories share prefixes (e.g.,Sources/AppandSources/AppTests). The first match wins due to thebreak, so ordering matters butMapiteration order depends on insertion order. Consider sorting target directories by length (longest first) to match most specific first. -
Constructor fallback in
resolveCallTargetcould over-match — When free-form resolution fails and candidates include a Class/Struct, retrying withconstructorform is smart forlet x = MyType(). But in Swift, enum cases can also be called like functions (MyEnum.case). TheEnumtype is included in the check but enum case calls are member-form, not free-form, so this might not trigger. Worth a test case for enum instantiation patterns.
🔒 Correctness
-
Extension deduplication picks shortest file path — Sorting by
filePath.lengthand taking the first is a heuristic that assumes the primary definition has a shorter path than extension files. This breaks if the primary file has a longer name (e.g.,Sources/Models/ProductCatalogItem.swiftvsSources/Extensions/Product.swift). A more robust approach might look at node type or whether the candidate defines vs extends. -
addSwiftImplicitImportsis O(n²) per target group — For a target with 500 Swift files, that is 250K import edges. For large iOS projects this could be significant. The graph storage handles it fine, but ingestion time may spike. Worth adding a warning or cap for very large targets.
✅ What looks good
- The
patch-tree-sitter-swift.cjsfix for trailing commas is a nice defensive improvement - Upgrading
tree-sitterto 0.22.4 andtree-sitter-swiftto 0.7.1 for better parse coverage - Implicit import edges correctly added in both the standard and fast-path ingestion flows
- The regex
\bprivate\b|\bfileprivate\bcorrectly uses word boundaries to avoid matchingnonprivateor similar
📝 Missing
- No tests for the new Swift-specific behavior (implicit imports, constructor fallback, extension dedup, export detection change). This is a significant feature addition — tests would prevent regressions when other language support is added.

The PR brings Swift from 0 cross-file edges to production-quality for standard OOP Swift. The remaining gaps cluster around three areas: optional/conditional bindings (very common in Swift), async/try wrappers (pervasive in modern Swift), and multi-specifier inheritance (affects UIKit subclasses). Addressing items 1–3 from the high-impact list would cover the majority of remaining unresolved calls in real iOS codebases. |

Understood — I can remove the tree-sitter upgrade commit entirely. Two options:
Option A: Remove upgrade, stay on tree-sitter 0.21.0 + tree-sitter-swift 0.6.0
- All other Swift fixes (implicit imports, export detection, constructor fallback, type inference, etc.) work fine on 0.6.0
- The patch script fix (commit 1) already handles 0.6.0's build issues
- We lose: prebuilds (manual node-gyp needed),
#Predicate/typed throws/~Copyableparsing - The assignment query fix (commit 6) would need to be reverted since it's 0.7.1-specific
Option B: Keep upgrade but pin exact versions (not ranges)
"tree-sitter": "0.22.4"(not^0.22.4)"tree-sitter-swift": "0.7.1"(not^0.7.1)- Prevents accidental minor bumps, you control when to upgrade further
- All 13 parsers verified compatible, 3,608 tests pass
Which do you prefer? I'll update the PR accordingly.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Adding more context on why the upgrade is safe:
The core constraint: tree-sitter is a single shared package — all 13 languages use the same version. You can't run 0.21 for Go/Python and 0.22 for Swift. So it's either:
- 0.21.x for everyone → Swift stays on 0.6.0 (older, manual build)
- 0.22.4 for everyone → Swift gets 0.7.1, all others verified compatible
Verification: All 12 non-Swift parsers declare peerDependencies: "^0.21.x". npm shows warnings, but at runtime they work because tree-sitter 0.22.4 is backward-compatible with the 0.21 C ABI (the native binding API didn't change). This is confirmed by:
- 3,608 tests pass across all 13 languages
- Each parser individually verified: C, C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, TypeScript, Swift
If we pin exact versions (Option B):
"tree-sitter": "0.22.4", // no ^, no auto-upgrades
"tree-sitter-swift": "0.7.1" // no ^, no auto-upgradesYou get full control. No surprise 0.22.5 or 0.23.x installs. When you're ready to upgrade, you bump manually.
If we stay on 0.21 (Option A):
All Swift fixes still work (implicit imports, export detection, constructors, type inference). You lose:
- tree-sitter-swift prebuilds (needs node-gyp + Swift toolchain to build)
- Parsing of
#Predicate, typed throws,~Copyable(Swift 5.9+ features) - The assignment query fix (0.7.1 changed field names)
Both options are valid — it depends on your comfort level with the upgrade. All the actual Swift intelligence features work on either version.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
We can add an override to pull the older package regardless and see if this works. Unfortunately, not all the tree-sitters-[lang] support the newer version and this will lead to incompatibilities. As they might have upgraded the grammar.

| Nested function declarations exported | Copilot flagged: inner func marked as exported |
Low — conservative resolution still correct |
| Cross-chunk implicit imports | Copilot flagged: files vs allFileList |
High — breaks cross-file resolution in large repos |
The cross-chunk implicit imports issue (last row) is the most impactful. addSwiftImplicitImports is called with the chunk's files list, so Swift files in different chunks can't see each other. For small projects this is fine (everything in one chunk), but large repos will have cross-file resolution silently fail.

Summary
Seven fixes that take Swift support from broken (0 symbols) to fully functional cross-file resolution with return-type inference. Tested on two real iOS/macOS projects.
Results on real Swift projects
Cross-file calls verified against source code — 10/10 samples confirmed real (zero false positives):
Changes
1. `scripts/patch-tree-sitter-swift.cjs` — Fix binding.gyp parser
Trailing commas after comment stripping broke `JSON.parse()`. Added regex to strip trailing commas before `]` or `}`.
2. `src/core/ingestion/export-detection.ts` — Fix Swift visibility model
Swift's default access level is `internal` (module-scoped), not file-scoped. Now only `private`/`fileprivate` symbols are hidden.
3. `src/core/ingestion/import-processor.ts` — Add implicit Swift imports
Swift has no file-level import statements between files in the same module. Added IMPORTS edges between all Swift files in the same target (supports SPM targets via `Package.swift`; falls back to single-module for Xcode projects).
4. `src/core/ingestion/call-processor.ts` — Constructor call fallback + extension dedup
Swift constructors have no `new` keyword: `let ocr = OCRService()` looks like a free function call. Added fallback to retry with `constructor` form. Also deduplicates Swift extension class nodes.
5. `src/core/ingestion/tree-sitter-queries.ts` — Fix assignment query for 0.7.1
tree-sitter-swift 0.7.1 uses named fields (`target:`, `result:`, `suffix:`). Updated the write-access query pattern.
6. `package.json` — Upgrade tree-sitter to 0.22.4 + tree-sitter-swift to 0.7.1
0.7.1 ships prebuilds and fixes parsing of `#Predicate`, typed throws, `~Copyable`.
7. `src/core/ingestion/type-extractors/swift.ts` — Add `extractPendingAssignment`
Enables return-type inference: `let user = getUser()` propagates `User` type to `user`, so `user.save()` resolves to `User.save()` (not `Repo.save()`). Handles `callResult`, `methodCallResult`, `fieldAccess`, and `copy` patterns.
Known limitations (not in scope)
These are inherent to static analysis and affect all languages similarly:
