refactor: repository pattern migration — split repository into domain files (Phase 3.3)

[carlos-alm]

Summary

Completes Phase 3.3 of the architectural refactoring: raw SQL extracted from 14 source modules into a domain-split repository layer.

• src/db/repository.js → src/db/repository/ — monolithic 134-line file split into 10 domain files: nodes.js, edges.js, build-stmts.js, complexity.js, cfg.js, dataflow.js, cochange.js, embeddings.js, graph-read.js, index.js (barrel)
• Raw SQL migrated from queries.js, builder.js, watcher.js, structure.js, complexity.js, cfg.js, dataflow.js, ast.js, ast-analysis/engine.js, embedder.js, sequence.js, communities.js
• Prepared statement caching in hot-path repository functions — avoids repeated statement compilation on incremental builds
• src/db.js barrel updated to re-export from the new domain files
• Hook fixes — commit-msg and pre-push hooks guard against sh -e failure when diff-impact is unavailable (|| true)

Test plan

• npm test passes
• npm run lint clean
• node src/cli.js build . succeeds (incremental build uses repository layer)
• node src/cli.js query / context / fn-impact return correct results

Repository Pattern Migration Review (Phase 3.3)

Review Tasks

• Phase 1: Root Cause Analysis - understand problem and approach
• Phase 2: Configuration Change Detection - check for high-risk changes
• Phase 3: Test Integrity - verify test quality and coverage
• Phase 4: Code Quality - assess implementation details
• Final Assessment - provide rating and recommendation

Root Cause Analysis ✅

Problem Being Solved: Raw SQL scattered across 14+ modules with no centralized data access layer. Each module directly prepares and executes SQL statements, creating tight coupling between business logic and database queries.

Why This Approach: Phase 3.3 of the architectural refactoring roadmap specifically calls for extracting raw SQL into a repository pattern. The migration:

• Consolidates 134-line monolithic src/db/repository.js → 10 domain-focused files
• Extracts SQL from 14 modules into repository layer
• Adds prepared statement caching for hot-path functions using WeakMap pattern

Risk Assessment: ✅ LEGITIMATE — This addresses real architectural debt by implementing proper separation of concerns. Not hiding symptoms.

Configuration Change Detection ✅

Hook Changes: Only defensive changes to .husky/commit-msg and .husky/pre-push:

• Added || true fallback when diff-impact command unavailable
• Guards against sh -e failure mode - appropriate defensive fix

Linting Rules: No changes to biome.json - linting config unchanged ✅

No High-Risk Configuration Changes Detected

Test Integrity ✅

Test Coverage:

• Existing tests/unit/repository.test.js updated to import from new structure
• Tests cover core repository functions: findNodesWithFanIn, findNodesForTriage, listFunctionNodes
• No test assertions weakened or removed
• Test logic and expectations unchanged

Test Quality: All existing functionality preserved through barrel exports in src/db.js

Code Quality Assessment ✅

Strengths:

• Clean separation: Domain-split files (nodes, edges, complexity, etc.) improve maintainability
• Prepared statement caching: WeakMap-based caching for hot-path functions (getNodeId, getFunctionNodeId, bulkNodeIdsByFile) - performance improvement
• Proper error handling: Optional table operations wrapped in try/catch (preparePurgeStmts)
• No SQL injection risk: All queries use parameterized statements
• Consistent patterns: Repository functions follow consistent naming and documentation

Architecture Quality:

• Repository functions properly isolated from business logic
• Barrel export pattern maintains backward compatibility
• Domain boundaries respect single responsibility principle
• Code migration preserves exact functionality

Security: ✅ All SQL uses prepared statements with parameter binding

Performance: ✅ Statement caching improves hot-path performance (incremental builds)

No Significant Issues Detected

Critical Concerns

None identified - This is a well-executed refactoring that follows established architectural patterns.

Final Recommendation

## Root Cause Analysis
**Problem Being Solved**: Architectural debt - SQL scattered across 14+ modules without repository layer
**Why This Approach**: Phase 3.3 roadmap implementation - legitimate separation of concerns
**Risk Assessment**: Low risk - preserves functionality while improving architecture

## Critical Concerns
None - this is disciplined refactoring following established patterns.

## Final Recommendation  
- Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
- Action: **APPROVE**
- Reasoning: High-quality architectural refactoring that improves maintainability, adds performance optimizations (prepared statement caching), and preserves backward compatibility. Clean domain boundaries and proper testing. Aligns with documented roadmap Phase 3.3.

Minor Suggestions:

1. Consider running integration tests to verify SQL migration completeness
2. Document the WeakMap caching strategy in architecture docs

Verdict: This PR demonstrates excellent engineering discipline - it addresses real architectural debt without changing functionality, follows documented roadmap plans, and includes performance improvements. The repository pattern implementation is clean and well-structured.

Greptile Summary

This PR (Phase 3.3) delivers two targeted improvements to the domain-split repository layer introduced earlier in the refactoring series:

• Prepared statement caching in cfg.js: All four CFG repository functions (getCfgBlocks, getCfgEdges, and the two deletes inside deleteCfgForNode) now lazily compile their statements on first use per db instance and cache them in module-level WeakMaps. This is the correct pattern for better-sqlite3 hot-paths — statements are GC'd automatically when the db object is collected.
• SELECT DISTINCT in findCallees (edges.js): Deduplicates callee rows when a source node has multiple calls edges to the same target (e.g., calling the same function more than once). All existing callers — BFS traversal in sequence.js and queries.js — either already use a visited set or display a deduplicated callee list, so this is a safe and correct change.

Key observations:

• The getClassHierarchy function in edges.js still calls db.prepare() inside its BFS while loop on every iteration, which is inconsistent with the caching pattern being introduced throughout this PR. This is a pre-existing issue but worth addressing for consistency and performance.

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is safe to merge — changes are well-scoped, the caching pattern is correct, and the DISTINCT addition is semantically sound for all callers.
• Both changes are narrow and well-reasoned. The WeakMap caching in cfg.js is idiomatic for better-sqlite3 and introduces no lifecycle risk. The DISTINCT fix in findCallees is correct given every consumer either applies its own visited-set deduplication or renders a unique callee list. The one minor inconsistency (getClassHierarchy re-preparing its statement in a loop) is pre-existing and does not block merging.
• src/db/repository/edges.js — getClassHierarchy still re-prepares its statement on every BFS iteration, inconsistent with the caching pattern introduced elsewhere in this PR.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
src/db/repository/cfg.js	Adds WeakMap-based prepared statement caching for all four CFG query functions (getCfgBlocks, getCfgEdges, deleteCfgForNode). Pattern is correct and consistent — statements are lazily compiled on first call per db instance and GC'd automatically with the db object.
src/db/repository/edges.js	Adds SELECT DISTINCT to findCallees to deduplicate results when the same target is reachable via multiple call edges. Change is semantically correct for all callers (BFS traversal with visited sets, and display-oriented queries). Minor inconsistency: getClassHierarchy still re-prepares its statement inside the BFS while loop, inconsistent with the caching pattern being introduced throughout this PR.

   Statement prepared on every BFS iteration

   db.prepare(...) is called inside the while loop of getClassHierarchy, meaning the SQL string is compiled into a prepared statement on every iteration of the BFS — once per ancestor class visited. The rest of this PR (and cfg.js) explicitly introduces WeakMap caching to avoid exactly this pattern.

   While this function is pre-existing and not the direct focus of this PR, it runs in a hot path (class hierarchy traversal is O(depth) preparations). Caching the statement with a module-level WeakMap — consistent with the pattern introduced elsewhere in this PR — would avoid repeated compilations:

   const _getClassParentsStmt = new WeakMap();
   
   // inside getClassHierarchy:
   let parentsStmt = _getClassParentsStmt.get(db);
   if (!parentsStmt) {
     parentsStmt = db.prepare(
       `SELECT n.id, n.name FROM edges e JOIN nodes n ON e.target_id = n.id
        WHERE e.source_id = ? AND e.kind = 'extends'`,
     );
     _getClassParentsStmt.set(db, parentsStmt);
   }
   const parents = parentsStmt.all(current);

• No test assertions weakened or removed
• Test logic and expectations unchanged

Test Quality: All existing functionality preserved through barrel exports in src/db.js

Phase 4: Code Quality Assessment ✅

Greptile Issues Resolved: Both critical issues identified by Greptile have been FIXED in commit 36d2aa3:

1. ✅ DISTINCT restored in findCallees (src/db/repository/edges.js:13) - prevents duplicate edges in sequence diagrams
2. ✅ Statement caching implemented in CFG functions (src/db/repository/cfg.js:3-6) - WeakMap pattern for getCfgBlocks, getCfgEdges, deleteCfgForNode

Architecture Quality:

• Clean separation: Domain-split files (nodes, edges, complexity, etc.) improve maintainability
• Prepared statement caching: WeakMap-based caching for hot-path functions - performance improvement
• Proper error handling: Optional table operations wrapped in try/catch (preparePurgeStmts)
• No SQL injection risk: All queries use parameterized statements
• Consistent patterns: Repository functions follow consistent naming and documentation

Security: ✅ All SQL uses prepared statements with parameter binding

Performance: ✅ Statement caching improves hot-path performance (incremental builds)

Backward Compatibility: ✅ Barrel export pattern maintains API compatibility
