Recursive Context Manager for Clawdbot
CHANGELOG [2025-01-28 - Josh]
CREATED: Initial recursive context manager with ChromaDB vector search,
file reading, and conversation persistence. Based on MIT Recursive
Language Model technique for unlimited context.
CHANGELOG [2026-01-31 - Gemini]
ADDED: Phase 1 Orchestrator tools: create_shadow_branch, write_file, shell_execute.
ADDED: Documentation Scanner to mandate Living Changelog headers.
FIXED: PermissionError on /.cache by forcing ONNXMiniLM_L6_V2.DOWNLOAD_PATH.
CHANGELOG [2026-01-31 - Claude/Opus]
ADDED: get_stats() method β€” was called by app.py but never defined, causing
crash on startup. Returns dict with file counts, conversation counts,
collection sizes, and persistence status.
ADDED: list_files() method β€” directory exploration tool for the agent.
Returns tree of files/dirs at a given path relative to repo root.
ADDED: search_conversations() method β€” semantic search over saved conversation
history in ChromaDB. Essential for persistent memory across sessions.
ADDED: search_testament() method β€” searches for Testament/architectural decision
files and returns matching content. Falls back to codebase search if no
dedicated testament files exist.
ADDED: index_repository() method β€” actually indexes the repo into ChromaDB on
init. Without this, search_code() always returned empty because nothing
was ever added to the codebase collection. Runs in background thread to
avoid blocking startup.
PRESERVED: All existing functions from prior changelogs remain intact.
HFDatasetPersistence class, create_shadow_branch, write_file, shell_execute,
search_code, read_file, save_conversation_turn β€” all unchanged.
NOTE: get_stats() is critical β€” app.py calls it at module level during UI
construction AND in the system prompt. Missing it = instant crash.

- File read/write with changelog enforcement
- Shell execution for build tasks
- Shadow branching for safe experimentation
- Stats reporting for the UI sidebar

The class is initialized once at module level in app.py. That means
__init__ runs during import, so it MUST NOT block or crash. Heavy work

# DESIGN DECISIONS:
# - Background thread: Don't block Gradio startup. Users can chat while
# indexing runs. get_stats() shows indexing progress.
# - Chunk by logical blocks: Split files into ~50-line chunks with overlap
# so semantic search finds relevant sections, not just file-level matches.
# - Upsert (not add): Safe to re-run. If the file was already indexed
# with the same content hash, ChromaDB skips it.
# - Skip .git, __pycache__, node_modules, venv: No value in indexing these.
#
# TESTED ALTERNATIVES (graveyard):
# - Indexing entire files as single documents: Poor search precision.
# A 500-line file matching on line 3 returns all 500 lines.
# - Line-by-line indexing: Too many tiny documents, poor semantic context.
