Xcode on this machine sometimes defaults to the iPhoneOS SDK, which breaks C dependency compilation (zstd-sys, rusqlite, ring). This is fixed in .cargo/config.toml which forces SDKROOT to the macOS SDK. If you see "architecture not supported" errors, run: Fetchium is a Cargo workspace with 4 crates: Data flow: CLI command → FetchiumConfig → fetchium-core pipeline → formatted output The CLI (fetchium-cli/src/main.rs) parses args, loads config, then dispatches to one file per command in crates/fetchium-cli/src/commands/. Each command calls into fetchium-core modules.

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Build Commands
```bash
# Check all crates compile (fast, no linking)
cargo check
# Build the fetchium binary
cargo build -p fetchium-cli
# Build optimized release binary
cargo build -p fetchium-cli --release
# Run the binary
./target/debug/fetchium --help
./target/debug/fetchium doctor
# Run all tests
cargo test
# Run tests for a specific crate
cargo test -p fetchium-core
cargo test -p fetchium-cli
# Run a single test by name
cargo test -p fetchium-core extract::layer1::tests::extract_simple_page
# Lint (zero warnings policy — treat warnings as errors in CI)
cargo clippy -- -D warnings
# Format
cargo fmt
# Generate docs
cargo doc --open
```
## macOS SDK Note
Xcode on this machine sometimes defaults to the iPhoneOS SDK, which breaks C dependency compilation (`zstd-sys`, `rusqlite`, `ring`). This is fixed in `.cargo/config.toml` which forces `SDKROOT` to the macOS SDK. If you see `"architecture not supported"` errors, run:
```bash
export SDKROOT=$(xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-path)
```
## Architecture Overview
Fetchium is a Cargo workspace with 4 crates:
| Crate | Role |
|-------|------|
| `fetchium-core` | All algorithms: search, extract, rank, validate, cache, AI, intelligence |
| `fetchium-cli` | The `fetchium` binary — clap derive CLI, delegates everything to fetchium-core |
| `fetchium-mcp` | MCP server (Phase 4) — exposes fetchium-core as Model Context Protocol tools |
| `fetchium-api` | REST API server via axum (Phase 4) |
**Data flow:** `CLI command → FetchiumConfig → fetchium-core pipeline → formatted output`
The CLI (`fetchium-cli/src/main.rs`) parses args, loads config, then dispatches to one file per command in `crates/fetchium-cli/src/commands/`. Each command calls into `fetchium-core` modules.
## fetchium-core Module Map
The retrieval pipeline is implemented across these modules. Foundational types/config:
- `types.rs` — Shared data types: `AgentSearchResult`, `SearchResult`, `ResultItem`, `Segment`, `Finding`, `Source`, `EvidenceGraph`, `CepLayer`, `PdsTier`, `ResourceTier`, `BackendId`, etc.
- `error.rs` — `FetchiumError`, `StructuredError`, `ErrorKind`, `FetchiumResult<T>`
- `config.rs` — `FetchiumConfig` loaded from `~/.fetchium/config.toml` with env var overrides; includes `detect_resource_tier()` and `data_dir()`
- `http/client.rs` — `HttpClient` (reqwest with pooling/retries)
- `resource/mod.rs` — `detect_tier()` delegating to `FetchiumConfig::detect_resource_tier()`
The core pipeline runs in this order:
```
search/ → extract/ → rank/ → token/ → validate/ → citation/ → output/
↑
research/ ──────┘
```
Additional modules: `ai/`, `intelligence/`, `cache/`, `index/`, `plugin/`, `privacy/`, `collab/`, `domain/`, `youtube/`, `setup/`.
## Optional Feature Flags (fetchium-core)
Heavy optional dependencies are gated behind features:
| Feature | Crate | Phase |
|---------|-------|-------|
| `headless` | `chromiumoxide` | Phase 2 |
| `embeddings` | `ort` (ONNX Runtime) | Phase 5 |
| `vector-search` | `usearch` | Phase 5 |
| `mcp` | `rmcp` | Phase 4 |
| `llama` | `llama-cpp-2` | Phase 4 |
Build with a feature: `cargo build -p fetchium-core --features headless`
## Design Reference
- **`prd.md`** — Product Requirements Document describing the algorithms and intended behaviors.
Conventions: run `cargo build && cargo test && cargo clippy` after changes; keep files focused; put shared dependencies in the workspace `Cargo.toml` (reference with `.workspace = true` per crate, never duplicate a version already in the workspace); document public APIs with `///` comments.
## Key PRD Algorithms
The PRD (§8) defines 17 novel algorithms that don't exist in other tools:
- **CEP** (Content Extraction Protocol) — 5-layer cascade: CSS selectors → readability → headless JS → PDF → screenshot OCR
- **QATBE** (Query-Aware Token-Budgeted Extraction) — BM25-scored segment ranking + greedy knapsack packing within token budget
- **SCS** (Semantic Content Segmentation) — 8 segment types with type-aware token efficiency
- **PDS** (Progressive Detail Streaming) — 4 tiers: key_facts (~200 tok), summary (~1000), detailed (~5000), complete
- **HyperFusion** — 8-signal ranking: BM25 + semantic + temporal + authority + evidence + diversity + depth + consensus
- **QADD** (Query-Aware DOM Distillation) — 5-step DOM pruning for 10-20x token reduction
- **AMRS** (Adaptive Multi-Agent Research Swarm) — 4 agent types via tokio channels
- **PIE** (Persistent Intelligence Engine) — Cross-session learning via SQLite (source trust, failure patterns, query prediction)
- **RAR** (Retry-and-Refine) — 5-checkpoint self-correction loop
## Adding New Dependencies
All shared dependencies go in the **workspace** `Cargo.toml` under `[workspace.dependencies]`, then reference them with `.workspace = true` in each crate's `Cargo.toml`. Never add a version number directly in a crate's `Cargo.toml` for anything already in the workspace.

## Version Control & Release Pipeline
### CRITICAL — Read before making any changes
This project uses **fully automated semantic versioning** via [release-please](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please).
**All version bumping, tagging, changelog generation, and publishing is automatic.**
### Conventional Commits — REQUIRED
Every commit to `main` MUST follow the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format. This is enforced by a PR title lint check in CI and a local git hook.
```
<type>(<scope>): <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer: BREAKING CHANGE: ...]
```
**Types and their version impact:**
| Type | Version bump | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `feat` | **minor** (1.0.0 → 1.1.0) | `feat: add cross-lingual query expansion` |
| `fix` | **patch** (1.0.0 → 1.0.1) | `fix: handle empty query gracefully` |
| `feat!` or `BREAKING CHANGE:` | **MAJOR** (1.0.0 → 2.0.0) | `feat!: redesign config file format` |
| `perf` | **patch** | `perf: cache BM25 term frequencies` |
| `docs` | no release | `docs: update rate limit table` |
| `refactor` | no release | `refactor: extract snippet logic` |
| `chore` | no release | `chore: update dependencies` |
| `test` | no release | `test: add fuzzing for URL parser` |
| `ci` | no release | `ci: fix Windows build step` |
### Rules for AI coding agents
1. **NEVER manually edit the `version` field** in `Cargo.toml` — release-please does this automatically.
2. **NEVER manually create git tags** — release-please creates them when the Release PR is merged.
3. **NEVER run `npm publish` manually** — the release workflow does this automatically.
4. **ALWAYS write commit messages in Conventional Commits format** — this is the only way to trigger version bumps.
5. When adding a **new public-facing feature**, use `feat:` — this ensures a minor version bump.
6. When **fixing a bug**, use `fix:` — this ensures a patch version bump.
7. When making a **breaking API change**, use `feat!:` or add `BREAKING CHANGE:` in the footer.
8. The `chore:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`, `test:`, `ci:` types do NOT trigger a release — use them for non-user-facing changes.
### How the pipeline works
```
You commit feat: or fix: → push to main
↓
release-please opens/updates a "Release PR"
(title: "chore(main): release 1.2.0")
↓
Team merges the Release PR
↓
release-please creates:
- git tag v1.2.0
- GitHub Release with changelog
↓
release.yml workflow fires:
├─ Build: Linux x64/arm64, macOS x64/arm64, Windows x64
├─ Attach .tar.gz/.zip + SHA256 to GitHub Release
├─ Publish npm package (fetchium @ 1.2.0)
├─ Update Homebrew formula (zuhabul/homebrew-fetchium)
└─ Summary posted to GitHub Actions
```
### Setting up locally (one-time, for humans)
```bash
sh scripts/setup-dev.sh # installs commit-msg and pre-commit git hooks
```

## Global Infrastructure SSOT
- Canonical infrastructure source: `/home/echo/INFRASTRUCTURE_SOURCE_OF_TRUTH.md`
- Endpoint registry (machine-friendly): `/home/echo/INFRASTRUCTURE_ENDPOINTS.tsv`
- Before infra changes: read SSOT, apply changes, then update SSOT + endpoint registry in same task.
