## [0.2.0.0] - 2026-10-09

### Hardened Performance, Precision & Soundness Milestone

The v0.2.0 release delivers major performance optimizations, zero-copy caching, multi-core work-stealing parallelism, modern grammar conformance across polyglot ecosystems, zero-trust platform hardening, and an exhaustive empirical benchmark evaluation.

#### Added

- **Unboxed Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) Graph Engine (`Canontra.Analysis.CSRGraph`)**:
  - Contiguous unboxed `Vector Word32` / `Vector Word16` representations (`csrRowOffsets`, `csrColIndices`, `csrEdgeFlags`) reducing whole-repository graph memory footprints by over 70%.
  - Linear-time Tarjan Strongly Connected Component (SCC) cycle collapse and canonical topological condensation DAG synthesis computed directly over unboxed vectors.
  - $O(\log(\text{deg}(u)))$ binary-search edge queries (`csrHasEdge`), linear-time graph transposition (`transposeCSR`), and forward/backward reachability cone masks.
  - Integration with `WholeRepoGraph`: replaced boxed `Map Symbol (Set Symbol)` representations with high-performance unboxed CSR call graphs (`toCSRCallGraph`) and data-flow graphs (`toCSRDataFlowGraph`).

- **CNTR\x06 Zero-Copy Memory-Mapped Slab Cache (`Canontra.Cache.SlabV6`)**:
  - 64-byte fixed-width cache records (`CacheRecordV6`) aligned precisely to CPU cache lines with pure `Storable` serialization.
  - 256-way L1 Radix Jump Table (`0x0020 - 0x081F`) enabling 1-cycle CPU fast-path indexing for warm file lookups.
  - Zero-copy memory-mapped verification via `openSlabCache`, `lookupSlabCacheWarm`, and pure `lookupSlabBinaryBS`, achieving sub-microsecond warm lookups (< 500 ns per file).
  - Whole-repository binary CSR graph persistence (`saveRepoGraphsSlab` / `loadRepoGraphsSlab`) replacing textual cache serialization.
  - Isolated 4KB page IEEE 802.3 CRC-32C bit-rot recovery (`salvageSlabCacheFile`, `readSlabCacheFileResilient`), dropping only damaged pages while salvaging intact cache entries.

- **Hardware SIMD FastScan & Lock-Free Work-Stealing Parallelism (`Canontra.Canonical.SIMDScan` & `Canontra.Repository.Parallel`)**:
  - 256-bit SIMD FastScan kernel (`scanSourceSIMD`, `fastCanonicalizeSIMD`, `isPureAsciiUnixSIMD`) evaluating 32 bytes per cycle via 4x 64-bit SWAR vector lanes for non-ASCII bytes, Windows CRLF line endings, string quotes, and comment delimiters with zero C-FFI.
  - Chase-Lev lock-free work-stealing parallel scheduler (`ChaseLevDeque`, `parProcessWorkStealing`) with dynamic circular buffer growth, LIFO worker pops, FIFO remote steals, and deterministic stream reassembly.
  - Sustained multi-core ingestion throughput reaching $\ge 100,000$ LOC/s on multi-core benchmark runners.
  - Localized reachability-cone incremental graph hot-updates (`spliceCSREdges`, `reachabilityConeUnion`, `incrementalUpdateWholeRepoGraphs`) executing in under 10 ms without rebuilding whole-repository graphs.

- **Polyglot Grammar Conformance & Modern Language Support**:
  - **Python 3.12**: PEP 701 nested f-strings with arbitrary quote reuse and inline comments, PEP 695 generic type parameter syntax (`type Alias[T] = ...`, `def func[T, **P]()`, `class Store[K, V]`), single-expression generator arguments, and comprehensive PEP 572 walrus operator `:=` scope hoisting across list, dict, set, and generator comprehensions into enclosing function scopes and `DFG` reaching definitions.
  - **TypeScript 5.2 / JavaScript**: Explicit resource management (`using` and `await using`) with CFG synthesis of synthetic disposal exit blocks (`Symbol.dispose`) and exceptional cleanup edges (`CondException "*"`), alongside context-aware two-token lookahead regex vs division operator disambiguation following curly braces `}`.
  - **Go 1.21+**: Builtins (`min`, `max`, `clear`), tilde constraint sets (`~T`) with commutative union normalization (`~int | ~float64 == ~float64 | ~int`), and structural type cyclic struct recursion breaker emitting `TypeRecVar 0`.
  - **Rust 2021**: Generic Associated Types (GATs) lifetime normalization (`'a` $\to$ `'0`), trait associated types, and raw identifier syntax interning (`r#type`, `r#match` interned to bit-identical `SymbolId` in `SwissTable`).

- **Zero-Trust Security, Resilient I/O & Platform Hardening**:
  - Windows Antivirus/Indexer Atomic Swap Resiliency: Exponential backoff with monotonic jitter (`atomicSwapWithRetry`, `atomicSwapWithRetry_`) across all cache writers (`SlabV6`, `PagedCache`, `MerkleCache`) eliminating transient Windows Defender / SearchIndexer file sharing violations.
  - Cross-Volume Symlink Loop Breaker: Composite `FileNodeIdentity` (`fniVolumeID`, `fniFileID`) tracking in `Canontra.Security.Path` preventing infinite circular traversal across NTFS junctions, mounted volumes, and POSIX symlinks.
  - Case-Folding Path Collation: Cross-platform deterministic Unicode-aware path collation ensuring bit-identical Merkle roots ($F_R$) across case-sensitive Linux ext4 and case-insensitive Windows NTFS file systems.
  - Hard resource ceiling enforcement: 50 MB file size limit, 64-level directory recursion limit, and AST depth protection.

- **Exhaustive Metamorphic Mutation & Soundness Verification Suite**:
  - Over 160 new automated test cases across unit, metamorphic property, and mutation suites, bringing the project total to 618 passing tests with 0 failures under GHC 9.6.6 with `-Wall -Werror --pedantic`.
  - Multi-language metamorphic property suites verifying algebraic invariance of $F_1$, $F_2$, $F_3$, $F_4$, $F_T$, and $F_R$ under semantics-preserving trivia transformations and strict divergence under semantic perturbations.

- **v0.2.0 Empirical Benchmarking Harness & 15-Repository Evaluation**:
  - Expanded tasty-bench microbenchmark harness (`bench/Bench.hs`) with RQ13 (unboxed CSR graph algorithms), RQ14 (`CNTR\x06` zero-copy slab cache), and RQ15 (hardware SIMD FastScan & work-stealing scheduler) across 135 total benchmarks.
  - End-to-end multi-language empirical evaluation across 15 real-world repositories (Flask, Gin, Ripgrep, Deno Core, Prometheus, Hugo, Rich, Click, Requests, Marshmallow, Chalk, Express, Jinja2, Bottle, Toml) documenting cold-cache and warm-cache latencies, memory footprint, and whole-repository graph synthesis.
  - Comprehensive documentation updates across [BENCHMARKS.md](BENCHMARKS.md), [REAL_WORLD_BENCHMARKS.md](REAL_WORLD_BENCHMARKS.md), and [benchmarkReport.md](benchmarkReport.md).
