    code-index v0.28.3

    Build: v0.28.3+771

    Installer: install.sh and checksum. Both come from this release commit. To pin the installed binaries too, run it with --tag v0.28.3.

    Four-binary release: code-index-mcp (MCP stdio bridge — the usual entry), code-index-daemon (long-lived watcher + RPC server, auto-spawned), code-index-plugin-host (bounded worker for plugin packages, spawned by the daemon), and code-index (CLI: init, index, watch, doctor, link, plugin).

    Distribution Registry and Package Management (#269)

    • Introduced unified in-tree distribution catalog distribution/registry.v1.json and JSON schema distribution/schema.v1.json.
    • code-index-core provides RegistryCatalog, PlatformBinary, PluginCatalogEntry, and validation for platform binaries and plugin packages.
    • CLI enhancements:
      • code-index plugin add <id> resolves package IDs and semver constraints directly against the distribution registry.
      • Added --registry and --registry-file options with CODE_INDEX_REGISTRY_URL / CODE_INDEX_REGISTRY_PATH environment variable overrides.
      • Added support for --raw signature generation and verification in code-index plugin sign.
      • Added install.sh --with-plugin <id> flag for streamlined bootstrapping.
    • MCP Server enhancements:
      • Added read-only code-index://registry resource exposing the active distribution catalog.
      • plugin_add MCP tool resolves registered plugins by ID with optional version constraints and capabilities negotiation.
    • Release CI pipeline stages, audits, and publishes registry.v1.json alongside .sha256 checksum and cryptographic signature in both Forgejo generic packages and release downloads.

    Validation and limits

    All 34 release gate invariants pass, including guest lockfile parity and release script isolation.
    Distribution registry schemas and signatures are validated in CLI and MCP integration tests.
    Plugin installation enforces publisher fingerprint verification and package digest authentication.

    XAML plugin package

    de.h-dv.xaml-0.2.0.cip makes .xaml files carry symbols and references instead of being text-only: x:Class and Click= handlers bind into the paired C# code-behind, x:Name becomes a searchable declaration, and {Binding …} stays unresolved because no bridge can reach it.

    It is NOT installed by installing code-index. Packages are installed into a user-controlled store and approved per project, and installing grants nothing — enable is the grant.

    Download de.h-dv.xaml-0.2.0.cips too and keep the .cips beside the .cip. Packages are signed and an unsigned one is refused (signature_missing) with no flag that accepts it. You do NOT need to anchor us first: this release's publisher key is compiled into the binary, so the install below works on a machine that has anchored nobody. code-index plugin trust list shows it, marked [BUILTIN], and code-index plugin trust remove sha256:1cb03259a8c870b6db02360abd9351e17e67724d1f8c3509d85c4bf6b06fa72c withdraws it — see About that key.

    code-index plugin install de.h-dv.xaml-0.2.0.cip --sha256 sha256:7b572f5cc32ffcd5af550900a451bbef37e255804776d7e3e3e71d2dd7d0aa79

    code-index plugin enable  sha256:7b572f5cc32ffcd5af550900a451bbef37e255804776d7e3e3e71d2dd7d0aa79 \
        --capabilities bridge_source \
        --bridges 'de.h-dv.xaml/xaml:type->csharp:class,de.h-dv.xaml/xaml:call->csharp:method'
    

    The digest above is the one this release packed and it is what --sha256 pins; de.h-dv.xaml-0.2.0.cip.digest.txt carries it and the extraction identity. A digest that changes between releases means the package changed — re-pin, and read the notes.

    Only .xaml is claimed by this package. The TimeLine package below claims .dataset, .xsql, .shd and .lgd; all other markup remains text-only (searchable, no symbols).

    TimeLine plugin package

    de.h-dv.timeline-0.1.0.cip makes the four TimeLine definition formats carry symbols and references instead of being text-only: .dataset and .xsql through one language, .shd and .lgd through another, both out of a single sandboxed extractor. References resolve INSIDE a definition file; nothing in v1 crosses into the C# that loads it.

    It is NOT installed by installing code-index. Packages are installed into a user-controlled store and approved per project, and installing grants nothing — enable is the grant.

    Download de.h-dv.timeline-0.1.0.cips too and keep the .cips beside the .cip. The same signature rules apply as for the XAML package above, and the same key signs both.

    code-index plugin install de.h-dv.timeline-0.1.0.cip --sha256 sha256:150ceb22ed9757a660d5a2bf58b80c81b60043cc419e5da5dde559d5d6fc9c9f
    code-index plugin check   sha256:150ceb22ed9757a660d5a2bf58b80c81b60043cc419e5da5dde559d5d6fc9c9f

        --capabilities same_file_candidate,exported_candidate
    

    No --bridges, and that is the package saying so: it declares none, so there is nothing to grant. The digest above is the one this release packed and it is what --sha256 pins; de.h-dv.timeline-0.1.0.cip.digest.txt carries it and the extraction identity.

    The 5 fixtures shipped inside it are synthetic and modelled on the worked examples in the two format specifications. They carry no customer definition.

    Ruby plugin package

    de.h-dv.ruby-0.6.0.cip is the compiled-in Ruby extractor as an EXTERNAL, sandboxed package: tree-sitter-ruby loaded at runtime, the extractor compiled to wasm32-unknown-unknown and byte-reproducible from crates/guest/ruby/, and the same symbols, references, visibility and Rails association names the built-in produces.

    It claims .rbx, not .rb. The compiled-in Ruby plugin owns .rb, .rake, .gemspec, Rakefile and Gemfile, and a package may not claim a file a built-in claims. So installing this changes NOTHING about how your .rb files are indexed — it is the migration proof for running a full language out of a package, published so it can be read and run rather than described. Do not install it expecting to replace built-in Ruby support.

    It is NOT installed by installing code-index. Packages are installed into a user-controlled store and approved per project, and installing grants nothing — enable is the grant.

    Download de.h-dv.ruby-0.6.0.cips too and keep the .cips beside the .cip. The same signature rules apply as for the packages above, and the same key signs all three.

    code-index plugin install de.h-dv.ruby-0.6.0.cip --sha256 sha256:a6b8d7787cecb49c225ff3dda9016c96babc00c4cf59242a2d774c8b06672048
    code-index plugin check   sha256:a6b8d7787cecb49c225ff3dda9016c96babc00c4cf59242a2d774c8b06672048 --derived-names
    code-index plugin enable  sha256:a6b8d7787cecb49c225ff3dda9016c96babc00c4cf59242a2d774c8b06672048 --derived-names \
        --capabilities same_file_candidate,exported_candidate,reachability_anchor,qualified_candidate,type_position_candidate,member_candidate
    

    --derived-names is required on check as well as on enable, and without it check REPORTS FAILED. Rails' has_many :posts emits a type reference named Post at the span of the literal :posts, so the name was not copied out of the source it points at; validation is all-or-nothing per file, so the authority is what admits the whole file rather than the one row. Withhold it and you keep the package with every Rails file refused — that is a supported answer, not a broken install.

    No --bridges: Ruby resolves inside its own language, so the package declares none. The six capabilities above are exactly what its manifest requests and enable refuses a grant wider than the request; grant fewer and the index stays searchable but resolves less, because every candidate pool a reference could be admitted to is one of them.

    The digest above is the one this release packed and it is what --sha256 pins; de.h-dv.ruby-0.6.0.cip.digest.txt carries it and the extraction identity.

    The 5 fixtures shipped inside it were generated from the COMPILED-IN Ruby extractor, by a different author from the port they grade, and plugin check compares the package's facts against them exhaustively.

    About that key

    sha256:1cb03259a8c870b6db02360abd9351e17e67724d1f8c3509d85c4bf6b06fa72c is a long-lived Ed25519 key held as a secret in this project's CI, used to sign released packages automatically, and it is compiled into the binaries in this release. It signs every package above. That trusts this project's release pipeline, not only its maintainers: anyone who can run a release workflow here can produce a package that verifies under it. It adds nothing you had not already granted — the bytes are inside the program you are running, so forging that anchor means forging the binary — but you are entitled to know it is there before a package installs rather than after.

    There is no expiry — deliberately, because offline installations must not break on a timer — and withdrawal is on your side and works: code-index plugin trust remove sha256:1cb03259a8c870b6db02360abd9351e17e67724d1f8c3509d85c4bf6b06fa72c. A compiled-in key has no file to delete, so that writes one instead, carrying denied = true; the key stops verifying at the next load, plugin trust list shows it marked [DENIED], and deleting that file (the command prints its path) is the only undo. If the key is ever rotated, the new fingerprint is published here and in tests/packages/first-party.fingerprint, and a build that predates the rotation will not trust it.

    You may anchor it yourself instead — code-index plugin trust add code-index-publisher.pub --fingerprint sha256:1cb03259a8c870b6db02360abd9351e17e67724d1f8c3509d85c4bf6b06fa72c --name 'a label you choose', with code-index-publisher.pub from this release's assets. Your file replaces the compiled-in entry, and the --name is a label YOU choose: nothing in the package, the key file or the signature can name its own publisher.

    macOS is not currently built. No x86_64-apple-darwin or aarch64-apple-darwin archive is published — macOS users should build from source (cargo build --release). This is a deliberate deferral, tracked in #59; no date is promised.
