Research direction

The issue points to the public pack at CynicalTyr/codegraph-split-horizon and mentions serve --mcp --path, but it requests no specific change and names no files or tests in this repository. Read the issue and linked pack to understand the proposed ecosystem link; there is no defined implementation or test that would establish done.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi Colby, CodeGraph is the engine I run daily, thank you for it. I did not replace it.

I ended up with two consumers on one box: an unattended local autonomous loop (on-box models, tools) and a CLI IDE architect on MCP. One serve --mcp --path. Two SQLite graphs. Writer UID has to match the database owner. include is not a whitelist on a home directory. Empty explore on mapped scripts is expected. Extra corpora stay projectPath. Slow-disk first index needs CODEGRAPH_NO_WATCHDOG. A CIFS share of another host is not a local graph. I wrote that down as installable mods (00–14) sitting on your own @colbymchenry/codegraph 1.6.0 engine src/ untouched.

Public pack: https://github.com/CynicalTyr/codegraph-split-horizon

This is a courtesy note, not a request to merge my overlay or to take a huge docs dump 💩 PR. If an ecosystem link is useful, that is your call. If it is noise, feel free to close this.

Credit stays with you for the indexer. I just paid the WAL tax so the next person does not have to invent the same problems I had locally with multi agents on one box using multiple Unix administrative terminals.
