  • Commit message: feat: implement context scaling and large project performance optimizations
  • Branch name: feat/context-scaling-large-project-performance

Background and Context

v3.4.0 (M5: ACMS v1 + Context Scaling) requires that projects with 10,000+ files can be indexed and queried efficiently. The current implementation has no indexing optimization and will timeout or exhaust memory on large projects. This is a hard requirement for enterprise-scale adoption.

Incremental indexing is essential to avoid re-processing unchanged files on every run. Without it, even small changes to a large project would trigger a full re-index, making the system unusable in practice. Parallel file processing is required to meet the 60-second indexing target for 10,000+ file projects.

Index persistence across service restarts ensures that users do not pay the indexing cost on every session. Memory budget enforcement during indexing prevents OOM conditions on resource-constrained environments.

Current Behavior

No indexing optimization exists. Large projects cause timeouts or excessive memory usage. Every indexing run processes all files from scratch. There is no parallel processing, no persistence, and no memory budget enforcement during indexing.

Expected Behavior

Incremental indexing, parallel file processing, and efficient storage allow 10,000+ file projects to be indexed in under 60 seconds. Index persistence survives service restarts. Query latency is under 100ms for indexed projects. Memory usage stays within configured budget during indexing.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Incremental indexing only re-indexes changed files
  • Parallel file processing uses configurable worker pool
  • Memory usage stays within configured budget during indexing
  • Index persistence survives service restarts
  • Query latency < 100ms for indexed projects
  • 10,000+ file project indexes in < 60 seconds
  • All child issues are closed and merged

Subtasks

  • Implement incremental indexing with file change detection
  • Implement parallel file processing with configurable worker pool
  • Implement index persistence to disk
  • Implement memory budget enforcement during indexing
  • Benchmark: 10,000+ file project indexing time
  • Write performance regression tests

Parent Legendary

Parent Legendary: #8495

Definition of Done

Epic complete when all child issues are closed and large-project indexing benchmarks pass (10,000+ files in < 60s, query latency < 100ms, memory within budget).

[AUTO-OWNR-1] Triage Decision

Status: Verified

MoSCoW Priority: Must Have

Rationale: v3.4.0 requires large-project indexing to complete within the 60s SLA, so the context scaling and performance work is a hard milestone dependency for enterprise readiness.

Milestone: v3.4.0 — M5: ACMS v1 + Context Scaling

This issue has been reviewed and verified by the project owner. It is now ready for development.
