Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: Add glob pattern filtering and link review for
knowledge crawling
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Implements interactive link review and URL filtering for llms.txt and sitemap.xml crawling:
Backend changes:
- Add glob pattern matching utility (url_handler.py)
- Create preview endpoint POST /api/crawl/preview-links for link collection analysis
- Update crawl request models to support url_include_patterns, url_exclude_patterns, selected_urls, skip_link_review
- Integrate pattern filtering into crawling logic with selected_urls support
- Use aiohttp for fast link collection fetching (replaces slow browser crawling for .txt files)
Frontend changes:
- Add LinkReviewModal component for interactive link selection before crawling
- Update AddKnowledgeDialog with pattern filter inputs and "Review links" checkbox
- Add preview flow: detects link collections → shows modal → user selects links → crawls only selected
- Fix dialog.tsx wrapper to support full-height flex layouts (h-full class)
- Replace invalid
nesting with
elements for HTML standards compliance
Features:
- Glob pattern filtering (e.g., **/en/** to include only English pages)
- Interactive link preview modal with bulk select/deselect, search, and individual selection
- Auto-selection based on filter patterns with "Matches Filter" badges
- Scrollable link list supporting 2000+ links
- Apply Filters button to refine selection in real-time
Fixes scroll issues by ensuring proper flex layout height propagation in dialog components.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] feat: Add glob pattern filtering for recursive crawls and
improve GitHub auto-config
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This commit extends the glob pattern filtering feature (from commit 74023e1) to
support recursive crawls and improves GitHub repository handling.
## Changes
### Backend - Recursive Crawl Filtering
- Add include_patterns and exclude_patterns parameters to RecursiveCrawlStrategy
- Filter internal links during discovery (before adding to crawl queue)
- Pass patterns through entire call chain (orchestration → service → strategy)
- Add comprehensive logging for pattern configuration and filtered URLs
- Performance: Prevents unnecessary HTTP requests and memory usage
Files:
- python/src/server/services/crawling/strategies/recursive.py:
* Lines 45-46: Add pattern parameters to function signature
* Lines 59-60: Update docstring
* Lines 173-178: Log pattern configuration at crawl start
* Lines 316-339: Implement filtering logic during link discovery
- python/src/server/services/crawling/crawling_service.py:
* Lines 271-272: Add parameters to wrapper method
* Lines 283-284: Pass patterns to recursive strategy
* Lines 349-356: Add early logging for crawl parameters
* Lines 1145-1153: Extract and pass patterns from request
### Frontend - Improved GitHub Auto-Configuration
- Change GitHub auto-config from path-based to code-only patterns
- Use **/tree/**, **/blob/** instead of /username/repo*
- Automatically excludes issues, PRs, actions, wiki, etc.
- More efficient and future-proof than exclusion lists
Files:
- archon-ui-main/src/features/knowledge/components/AddKnowledgeDialog.tsx:
* Lines 73-75: Updated pattern generation logic
### Documentation
- Add comprehensive glob pattern guide with examples
- Document GitHub auto-configuration rationale
- Include pattern syntax, use cases, and testing tips
Files:
- docs/GLOB_PATTERNS.md: New file (253 lines)
## Benefits
1. **Memory Efficiency**: Prevents memory errors on large GitHub repositories
2. **Performance**: Filters URLs before crawling (saves HTTP requests)
3. **Storage**: Reduces database writes (fewer pages to store)
4. **User Experience**: GitHub repos now auto-configured optimally
## Testing
- Unit tests: All passing (19/19 glob pattern tests)
- Frontend tests: All passing (29/29 LinkReviewModal tests)
- Integration tests: Pre-existing failures unrelated to this feature
- Manual testing: GitHub crawl with code-only patterns verified
## Pattern Examples
Documentation sites (language filtering):
**/en/**, !**/api/**, !**/changelog/**
GitHub repositories (code only):
**/tree/**, **/blob/**
Blog sites:
**/blog/**, !**/draft/**
## Related
- Builds on commit 74023e1 (glob pattern filtering for link collections)
- Resolves memory issues with GitHub repository crawling
- Implements recursive crawl filtering requested in design discussions

+# Glob Pattern Filtering Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+Archon's knowledge crawling system supports flexible URL filtering using glob patterns with `.gitignore`-style syntax. Use a single unified field to specify which URLs to include or exclude during crawls.
+
+## Syntax
+
+### Basic Format
+```text
+pattern1, pattern2, !exclude1, !exclude2
+```
+
+### Rules
+1. **Include patterns** - Regular glob patterns match URLs to include
+2. **Exclude patterns** - Patterns prefixed with `!` exclude URLs
+3. **Comma-separated** - Separate multiple patterns with commas
+4. **Exclude takes precedence** - If a URL matches any exclude pattern, it's rejected even if it matches an include pattern
+
+### Logic Flow
+```text
+1. If no patterns specified → Include all URLs
+2. If URL matches ANY exclude pattern (!) → Reject
+3. If include patterns exist AND URL matches at least one → Accept
+4. Otherwise → Reject
+```
+
+## Pattern Syntax
+
+### Wildcards
+- `*` - Matches any characters (including `/` in paths)
+- `**` - Same as `*` in fnmatch (matches any characters)
+- `?` - Matches any single character
+
+### Examples
+```bash
+# Match specific directory
+**/docs/** # Matches: /docs/, /en/docs/, /api/v1/docs/
+
+# Match file extensions
+**/*.md # Matches: /readme.md, /docs/guide.md
+
+# Exact path prefix
+/api/v1/* # Matches: /api/v1/users, /api/v1/posts
+
+# Combined patterns
+**/en/**, **/docs/** # Matches: /en/guide, /docs/api
+```
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### 1. Documentation Sites - Language Filtering
+
+**Scenario**: Only crawl English documentation
+
+```text
+**/en/**, !**/api/**, !**/changelog/**
+```
+
+**Matches**:
+- ✅ `/en/getting-started`
+- ✅ `/docs/en/tutorial`
+- ✅ `/en/guides/setup`
+
+**Excludes**:
+- ❌ `/fr/getting-started` (not English)
+- ❌ `/en/api/reference` (API excluded)
+- ❌ `/en/changelog` (changelog excluded)
+
+### 2. GitHub Repositories
+
+**Scenario**: Crawl repository code files only (directories and files)
+
+```text
+**/tree/**, **/blob/**
+```
+
+**Auto-configured when entering GitHub URLs like**:
+```text
+https://github.com/username/reponame
+```
+
+**What it matches:**
+- ✅ `/username/reponame/tree/main/src` (directory view)
+- ✅ `/username/reponame/blob/main/README.md` (file view)
+- ✅ `/username/reponame/tree/main/src/components` (nested directory)
+
+**What it excludes:**
+- ❌ `/username/reponame/issues` (issues page)
+- ❌ `/username/reponame/pull/123` (pull request)
+- ❌ `/username/reponame/actions` (GitHub Actions)
+- ❌ `/username/reponame/security` (security tab)
+- ❌ `/username/reponame/wiki` (wiki pages)
+- ❌ Any other GitHub UI pages
+
+**Why this pattern?**
+Using include patterns is cleaner and more comprehensive than excluding individual sections. It automatically excludes any future GitHub features without updating the pattern.
+
+### 3. Blog Sites
+
+**Scenario**: Only blog posts, exclude drafts and archives
+
+```text
+**/blog/**, !**/draft/**, !**/archive/**
+```
+
+**Matches**:
+- ✅ `/blog/2024/my-post`
+- ✅ `/en/blog/tutorial`
+
+**Excludes**:
+- ❌ `/blog/draft/unpublished`
+- ❌ `/blog/archive/2020`
+
+### 4. Exclude Only (No Includes)
+
+**Scenario**: Crawl everything except certain languages
+
+```text
+!**/fr/**, !**/de/**, !**/ja/**
+```
+
+**Result**: All URLs crawled EXCEPT French, German, and Japanese pages
+
+## GitHub Auto-Configuration
+
+When you enter a GitHub repository URL, Archon automatically configures optimal settings:
+
+### Trigger
+Any URL matching:
+```text
+https://github.com/username/reponame
+http://github.com/username/reponame
+github.com/username/reponame
+```
+
+### Auto-Applied Settings
+1. **Pattern**: `**/tree/**, **/blob/**` (code files only)
+2. **Depth**: 3 (for nested directories)
+3. **Tag**: "GitHub Repo"
+
+### Why These Patterns?
+- `**/tree/**` matches directory views (browsing folders)
+- `**/blob/**` matches file views (individual files)
+- Automatically excludes issues, PRs, actions, wiki, and all non-code pages
+- More efficient than listing exclusions
+- Works with any future GitHub features without updates
+
+## Link Collections (llms.txt, sitemap.xml)
+
+### Behavior
+For link collections, patterns filter the discovered links:
+
+1. **Parse collection** → Extract all URLs
+2. **Apply patterns** → Filter URLs by include/exclude rules
+3. **Review modal** → Preview filtered links before crawling
+4. **Crawl selected** → Only crawl matching URLs
+
+### Example Workflow
+
+**Sitemap URL**: `https://docs.example.com/sitemap.xml`
+
+**Sitemap contains**:
+```text
+https://docs.example.com/en/intro
+https://docs.example.com/en/api
+https://docs.example.com/fr/intro
+https://docs.example.com/changelog
+```
+
+**Pattern**: `**/en/**, !**/api/**`
+
+**Filtered Results**:
+- ✅ `/en/intro` (matches include, not excluded)
+- ❌ `/en/api` (matches include BUT excluded)
+- ❌ `/fr/intro` (doesn't match include)
+- ❌ `/changelog` (doesn't match include)
+
+## Pattern Testing Tips
+
+### Start Simple
+1. Begin with broad include pattern
+2. Test the crawl preview (for link collections)
+3. Add exclusions to refine
+
+### Use Specific Patterns
+```bash
+# ❌ Too broad
+**/*
+
+# ✅ Specific and meaningful
+**/en/**, **/docs/**
+```
+
+### Test Pattern Matching
+
+Use the pattern preview in the Link Review Modal to see which URLs match before crawling.
+
+### Common Mistakes
+
+❌ **Forgetting the `!` prefix**
+```text
+**/en/**, **/api/** # This includes BOTH en and api
+```
+
+✅ **Correct exclusion syntax**
+```text
+**/en/**, !**/api/** # This includes en but excludes api
+```
+
+❌ **Assuming `*` matches only one path segment**
+```text
+/docs/*/intro # This WILL match /docs/en/v1/intro (not just /docs/en/intro)
+```
+
+✅ **Understanding fnmatch behavior**
+```text
+# In fnmatch (used by Archon), * matches any characters including /
+# Both * and ** behave the same way
+```
+
+## API Integration
+
+When the frontend sends patterns to the backend, they're automatically parsed:
+
+```typescript
+// Frontend: Unified field
+urlPatterns: "**/en/**, !**/api/**"
+
+// Parsed and sent to backend
+{
+ url_include_patterns: ["**/en/**"],
+ url_exclude_patterns: ["**/api/**"]
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Patterns
+
+See [TESTING.md](../TESTING.md#glob-pattern-testing) for comprehensive testing examples.
+
+## Further Reading
+
+- [fnmatch documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html) - Python's glob pattern matching
+- [.gitignore patterns](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_format) - Similar syntax inspiration
+- [PR #847](https://github.com/coleam00/archon/pull/847) - Original implementation
+
+## Support
+
+If you encounter issues with pattern matching:
+1. Check the pattern syntax for typos
+2. Test with the Link Review Modal (for link collections)
+3. Start with simpler patterns and add complexity
+4. Remember: `!` prefix is required for exclusions
