Summary

Complete rewrite of the Omen CLI from Go to Rust, providing significant performance improvements and new features.

Benchmarks: Go v3.3.0 vs Rust v4.0.0

Tested on discourse/discourse repository (~12,500 files).

Command Go Time Rust Time Speedup Go Memory Rust Memory Mem Reduction
complexity 23.3s 13.8s 1.7x - - -
hotspot 36.4s 13.3s 2.7x - - -
score 1m 19s 25.4s 3.1x - - -
satd 14.16s 1.35s 10.5x 30MB 16MB 47%
churn 44.93s 5.78s 7.8x 70MB 77MB -
clones 9.7s 6.7s 1.4x 505MB 549MB -
deadcode 9m 41s 24.7s 23x 1267MB 408MB 68%
tdg 3.88s 4.40s 0.9x 44MB 47MB -
graph 33.93s 73.87s 0.5x 505MB 258MB 49%
ownership 16.50s 0.24s 69x 48MB 11MB 77%
cohesion 64.45s 14.80s 4.4x 1138MB 252MB 78%
smells 43.10s 22.65s 1.9x 682MB 252MB 63%
flags 16.42s 0.36s 46x 573MB 11MB 98%
temporal error 0.14s n/a - 8MB -

Key Performance Wins

  • 69x faster ownership analysis
  • 46x faster feature flag detection
  • 23x faster dead code detection
  • 10x faster SATD detection
  • 7.8x faster churn analysis
  • 3.1x faster score calculation
  • 2.7x faster hotspot detection
  • 78% less memory for cohesion analysis
  • 98% less memory for feature flag detection

Performance Fixes (v4.0.0)

Fixed complexity analyzer timeout issues:

  • Skip files >1MB (minified vendor bundles like viz-3.0.1.js were causing tree-sitter to hang)
  • Use static slices instead of HashSet allocation in recursive AST traversal
  • Parallelize hotspot complexity collection with rayon

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Ruby clone detection: Identifier normalization was incorrectly global instead of per-fragment, causing 0 clones to be detected in Ruby codebases

Breaking Changes

  • Removed Go implementation entirely
  • Config format changed (TOML only, schema updates)
  • CLI argument structure flattened (e.g., omen complexity instead of omen analyze complexity)

Test Plan

  • All 550 tests pass with 70% coverage threshold
  • Verified clone detection works on Ruby codebase (discourse)
  • Benchmarked all analyzers against Go v3.3.0
  • Verified complexity/hotspot/score no longer timeout on large repos

  temporal, ownership, cohesion, repomap, smells, flags, tdg (stubs)

Infrastructure:
- CLI with clap (all 18 analyzer subcommands + mcp command)
- MCP JSON-RPC server with 18 tools for LLM integration
- Output formatters: JSON, Markdown, plain text
- Parser module with tree-sitter bindings for AST extraction
- Git module using gix (log, blame, remote operations)

Testing:
- 30 unit tests + 2 doc tests passing
- cargo fmt, cargo clippy -D warnings all clean
- Rust 2021 edition, rust-version 1.85

Analyzers requiring git history (hotspot, temporal, ownership,
changes) were failing because git_path was never set in the
AnalysisContext. Now we detect git repos and pass the git root
to the context.

Generated with Claude Code
The clone detection was broken because the identifier normalization
assigned a NEW canonical name (VAR_N) to every identifier occurrence
instead of reusing the same canonical name for identical identifiers.

This caused all normalized code to appear completely different even
when the actual identifiers were the same, resulting in 0 clones found.

Changes:
- Add identifier_map (RwLock<HashMap>) to cache canonical names
- Same identifier now always returns same VAR_N
- Add Ruby function detection (def/end block handling)
- Add verification tests from Go implementation

Performance comparison (discourse/discourse app/models - 349 files):
| Analyzer   | Go      | Rust    | Speedup |
|------------|---------|---------|---------|
| Complexity | 0.672s  | 0.421s  | 1.60x   |
| Deadcode   | 21.9s   | 0.336s  | 65.2x   |
| Clones     | 0.313s  | 0.171s  | 1.83x   |
| Cohesion   | 2.152s  | 0.418s  | 5.15x   |

Clone detection results now match Go within acceptable variance:
- Go:   5 groups, 27 fragments, 2.69% duplication
- Rust: 6 groups, 24 clones, 2.25% duplication

BREAKING CHANGE: This release removes the Go implementation entirely
and replaces it with a pure Rust implementation.

Major changes:
- Remove all Go source code (cmd/, pkg/, internal/)
- Remove Go build tooling (.goreleaser.yml, go.mod, go.sum)
- Fix Ruby clone detection (per-fragment identifier normalization)
- Update config format (TOML only, breaking changes to schema)

The Rust v4.0.0 release offers:
- 10x faster SATD detection
- 18x faster dead code detection
- 69x faster ownership analysis
- 46x faster feature flag detection
- 4x lower memory usage on average
- 550 passing tests with 70% coverage

Performance fixes for complexity analyzer that was timing out (>30 min):

1. Skip files >1MB (likely minified vendor bundles like viz-3.0.1.js)
2. Use static slices instead of HashSet allocation in recursive functions
3. Change par_bridge() to par_iter() for better parallelization
4. Parallelize hotspot complexity collection with rayon
