Research direction

This is a tracking index of many open issues, not a single change. Do not implement from this ticket. Pick one named child issue (for example CodeLaser/maddi#4 javadoc CI noise, or a Tier 1 row) and work from that issue’s first-step column. Done here would only mean the table is kept in sync after those issues close.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Every open issue as of 2026-09-28, after the convergence pass that closed 30 of 59 (fixed on devel or on ws/dsl that day) and fixed CodeLaser/maddi#22, CodeLaser/maddi#30, CodeLaser/maddi#31, CodeLaser/maddi#40, CodeLaser/maddi#60, CodeLaser/maddi#64 (items 2, 3), CodeLaser/maddi#66 directly. Ordered by cost/benefit within each tier; sizes are S (hours), M (a day or two), L (design first). "Owner" is the branch that has been working the area.

Tier 1: small, unblocks something, do next

# issue size why now first step
CodeLaser/maddi#68 Kotlin body call to a Java-source member does not resolve S-M blocks the downstream unmodifiable-collection diagnostic add the J.fill / J().put shape to TestMixedProjectInspector, assert no k2-unresolved-call; fix likely in members() for a Java-source TypeInfo whose members are not loaded when Kotlin bodies convert (ws/python)
CodeLaser/maddi#67 printed Kotlin does not compile: smart-cast comparison S one fixture tells whether the last placeholder in that list is already gone since 69c94b14f add when (o) { is Int -> if (o > 10) ... } to WhenSeveralIsTest; raise the jar-name mismatch log to WARN; close items 3 and 4 as intended
CodeLaser/maddi#64 (item 1) Collections.sort's list not @Modified in the JSON M every Collections/Arrays mutator reads undecided codec writes unmodifiedParameter:0 (or the loader reads absence on an annotated-API parameter as decided false), then annotate sort, reverse, shuffle, ...
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#7 hints compiler computes libs/test, libs/log defaults without the jdk results S code, M validation wrong defaults for String/CharSequence parameters in two libraries pass the jdk preload to the shared compiler in CompileAnalysisHints, regenerate, corpus A/B as the issue asks
CodeLaser/maddi#15 LinksImpl.equals ignores linkSet S last-wins exists (f747b2105, WIP under the merge) but nothing pins it fast test for last-wins in VariableInfoImpl.setLinkedVariables; decide whether the primary-change throw is reachable; squash the WIP
CodeLaser/maddi#4 javadoc warnings on CI S the only noise on a clean CI run javadoc on Commutable's members, or one Xdoclint block in the convention plugin
CodeLaser/maddi-dist#1 IDE: coalesced triggers dropped S a silently lost build is user-visible PENDING flag beside RUNNING in MaddiAnalysis (Eclipse) and MaddiAnalysisService (IntelliJ), reschedule once in finally

Tier 2: medium, scheduled work

# issue size note
CodeLaser/maddi#5 no Gradle toolchain; dev on 27, CI on 26 M now real drift; needs a build to validate, do with the next JDK-27 CI bump
CodeLaser/maddi#69 lowered <i>.0/.1 indices lose the local at <i+1> M per-block renumbering after building; touches every lowering test's indices (ws/python)
CodeLaser/maddi#19 VariableData order non-deterministic S-M sort by source position at build(); risk to this/fields/params-first consumers
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#3 no version/schema marker in analysis results S-M header field + check in LoadAnalysisResults
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#10 fork for switch, loop, try; exclude exiting branches M per step six-corpus A/B each; NOFORK gate stays
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#5 full-pipeline crash survey M build on RunAnalyzer fault-tolerant listing + the corpus catalogue; bucket by (exception, class:line)
CodeLaser/maddi#58 non-local return: owner decision decision marker (current) vs refuse vs inline scope functions for the 125 detekt sites under analyze{}; then close as "front end done, engine in CodeLaser/maddi-mod#11"
CodeLaser/maddi-dist#2 Eclipse: whole-workspace marker churn S-M per-file delete; prerequisite of CodeLaser/maddi-dist#3
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#12 Elasticsearch variablesLinkedToObject@LCI oscillation M re-run on devel with the per-iteration change log; latest-wins may have changed it
CodeLaser/maddi#49 printer: brace placement, literal spelling, comment fidelity L, split in 3 (a) bracePlacement option, (b) carry literal source text from javac, (c) comment/blank-line fidelity

Tier 3: design first

# issue note
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#11 link engine ignores exitLevels (non-local return value never reaches the enclosing return) soundness hole; start with the S fixture asserting find's return variable links to xs
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#9 reassigned parameter's later values summarised as facts about the caller's object SSA-style rename from the first reassignment
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#8 method summaries mark a parameter modified, never which part field-path modification in summaries
CodeLaser/maddi-mod#6 Cassandra does not converge re-run on devel with the change log after latest-wins; profiling + partial reporting
CodeLaser/maddi-dist#3 Eclipse builder / project nature days; depends on the daemon accepting a scope
CodeLaser/maddi-dist#4 Eclipse quick fixes needs an edit protocol from the daemon
CodeLaser/maddi-dist#5 Eclipse GUI install path 30 min manual, whoever next has Eclipse open
