update

graphify reference: incremental update and cluster-only

Load this only when the user passed `--update` or `--cluster-only`. A first-time full build never reads this file.

For --update (incremental re-extraction)

Use when you've added or modified files since the last run. Only re-extracts changed files - saves tokens and time.

$(cat graphify-out/.graphify_python) -c "
import sys, json
from graphify.detect import detect_incremental, save_manifest
from pathlib import Path

result = detect_incremental(Path('INPUT_PATH'))
new_total = result.get('new_total', 0)
print(json.dumps(result, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False))
Path('graphify-out/.graphify_incremental.json').write_text(json.dumps(result, ensure_ascii=False), encoding=\"utf-8\")
deleted = list(result.get('deleted_files', []))
if new_total == 0 and not deleted:
    print('No files changed since last run. Nothing to update.')
    raise SystemExit(0)
if deleted:
    print(f'{len(deleted)} deleted file(s) to prune.')
if new_total > 0:
    print(f'{new_total} new/changed file(s) to re-extract.')
"

Then populate `.graphify_detect.json` so Steps 3A–6 (which read it unconditionally) see the right state for an incremental run. `files` carries the changed subset (drives Step 3A AST + Step 3B0 cache check on only what changed); `all_files` carries the full corpus for any step that needs corpus-wide context:

$(cat graphify-out/.graphify_python) -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path
r = json.loads(Path('graphify-out/.graphify_incremental.json').read_text(encoding=\"utf-8\"))
Path('graphify-out/.graphify_detect.json').write_text(json.dumps({
    'files': r.get('new_files', {}),
    'all_files': r.get('files', {}),
    'total_files': r.get('new_total', 0),
    'total_words': r.get('total_words', 0),
    'skipped_sensitive': r.get('skipped_sensitive', []),
    'needs_graph': True,
}, ensure_ascii=False), encoding=\"utf-8\")
"

If new files exist, first check whether all changed files are code files:

$(cat graphify-out/.graphify_python) -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path

result = json.loads(open('graphify-out/.graphify_incremental.json', encoding='utf-8').read()) if Path('graphify-out/.graphify_incremental.json').exists() else {}
code_exts = {'.py','.ts','.js','.go','.rs','.java','.cpp','.c','.rb','.swift','.kt','.cs','.scala','.php','.cc','.cxx','.hpp','.h','.kts','.lua','.toc','.f','.F','.f90','.F90','.f95','.F95','.f03','.F03','.f08','.F08'}
new_files = result.get('new_files', {})
all_changed = [f for files in new_files.values() for f in files]
code_only = all(Path(f).suffix.lower() in code_exts for f in all_changed)
print('code_only:', code_only)
"

If `code_only` is True: print `[graphify update] Code-only changes detected - skipping semantic extraction (no LLM needed)`, run only Step 3A (AST) on the changed files, skip Step 3B entirely (no subagents), then go straight to merge and Steps 4–8.

If `code_only` is False (any changed file is a doc/paper/image/video): **first, if any changed file is in `new_files['video']`, run `references/transcribe.md` (Step 2.5) on those files, then rewrite `.graphify_detect.json` to move the resulting transcript paths into `files['document']` and drop `files['video']`** — otherwise raw `.mp4/.mp3` paths are fed to semantic subagents as unreadable media (#1392). Then run the full Steps 3A–3C pipeline as normal.

If no new files exist (only deletions), create an empty extraction so the merge step can prune:

if [ ! -f graphify-out/.graphify_extract.json ]; then
    echo '[graphify update] Only deletions -- creating empty extraction for merge.'
    $(cat graphify-out/.graphify_python) -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path
Path('graphify-out/.graphify_extract.json').write_text(json.dumps({'nodes':[],'edges':[],'hyperedges':[],'input_tokens':0,'output_tokens':0}), encoding='utf-8')
"
fi

Then:

$(cat graphify-out/.graphify_python) -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path
from graphify.build import build_merge
from graphify.detect import save_manifest

# Load new extraction and incremental state
new_extraction = json.loads(Path('graphify-out/.graphify_extract.json').read_text(encoding=\"utf-8\"))
incremental = json.loads(Path('graphify-out/.graphify_incremental.json').read_text(encoding=\"utf-8\"))
deleted = list(incremental.get('deleted_files', []))
# prune_sources is ONLY for genuinely DELETED files. Changed/re-extracted files are
# handled by build_merge's replace-on-re-extract (#1344): every source_file in
# new_chunks is dropped from the base before merge, so old/stale nodes don't survive.
# Do NOT add `changed` here: with root= passed, prune_set relativizes to the same base
# as the freshly merged nodes and would DELETE the re-extracted content (#1178 is moot
# now that replace — not the dedup pass — reconciles changed files).
prune = list(deleted) or None

# Use build_merge() — reads graph.json directly without NetworkX round-trip
# so edge direction (calls, implements, imports) is always preserved (#801).
# Pass root= so prune_sources (absolute paths from detect_incremental) are
# relativized to match the graph's relative source_file values; without it
# nothing is pruned and stale nodes accumulate on every update (#1361).
# directed=IS_DIRECTED: replace IS_DIRECTED with True if --directed was given, else
# False. Without it a --directed --update silently rebuilds undirected and collapses
# reciprocal A<->B edges (#1392).
G = build_merge(
    [new_extraction],
    graph_path='graphify-out/graph.json',
    prune_sources=prune,
    root='INPUT_PATH',
    directed=IS_DIRECTED,

print(f'[graphify update] Merged: {G.number_of_nodes()} nodes, {G.number_of_edges()} edges')

# Write merged result back to .graphify_extract.json so Step 4 sees the full graph
