read_file → read_file_chunked Fallback TriggerStatus: ✅ LLM now explicitly warned to use chunked reading on truncation
Issue: When read_file hit its character limit and returned truncated output, the model had no explicit signal to retry with read_file_chunked. This caused incomplete file reads and wasted turns.
Fix Applied:
| Tool | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
read_file | 'Read content from a file in the current working directory.' | 'Read content from a file in the current working directory. ⚠️ WARNING: If output is truncated, you MUST retry with read_file_chunked to get the full content.' |
read_file_chunked | 'Read a file in chunks when it exceeds the character limit. Automatically splits large files for efficient partial reading.' | 'Read a file in chunks to bypass character limits. ALWAYS use this instead of read_file if read_file returned truncated output, or if you know the file is very large (>50k chars). Returns structured chunks with start/end indices and truncation status.' |
Impact:
read_file calls on large filesrag_web_content ToolStatus: ✅ All 4 RAG tools now fully functional
Issues Resolved:
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Vector store data lost between calls | Implemented singleton pattern (getSharedStore()) for persistent state |
rag_query_vector returned placeholder data | Now actually searches the vector index using cosine similarity |
rag_web_content tool missing | Fully implemented with URL validation, fetch, chunking, and relevance matching |
Detailed Fixes:
Status: ✅ TypeCheck, Circular Dependencies, ESLint, Config Analysis, and Imports Analysis all functional
Issues Resolved:
| Category | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| TypeCheck | ❌ ENOENT error | ✅ Works via npx tsc |
| Circular Dependencies | ❌ ENOENT error | ✅ Works via npx madge |
| ESLint | ❌ ENOENT error | ✅ Works via npx eslint |
| Config Analysis | ✅ Working | ✅ Still working |
| Imports Analysis | ✅ Working | ✅ Still working |
Root Cause:
The spawn() function was missing shell: true, preventing Windows from resolving .cmd executables (like npx.cmd, tsc.cmd) via the PATHEXT environment variable.
Detailed Fixes:
Trade-off Accepted:
shell: true security implicationsStatus: ✅ All test suites passing, full coverage restored
Issues Resolved:
| Test File | Issue Type | Root Cause |
|---|---|---|
workingDir.test.ts | Corrupted file | Structural damage from previous edits (duplicate lines, missing braces) |
security.edge-cases.test.ts | 8 failures | validatePath() checked resolved paths against real filesystem bases, but tests used fake paths like /safe/dir that don't exist in allowed bases |
toolsProvider.test.ts | ESM syntax error | archiver@8.x uses ESM syntax which ts-jest cannot transform; transformIgnorePatterns doesn't work well with ts-jest for ESM→CJS conversion |

moduleNameMapper in jest.config.cjs:
const proc = spawn(exe, args, {
stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe'],
cwd: workingDir,
shell: true, // ← CRITICAL FIX for Windows .cmd resolution
});
// Before (broken):
await spawnWithProgress('tsc', ['--version'], 5000);
// After (working):
await spawnWithProgress('npx', ['tsc', '--version'], 5000);
