-## ✨ 核心特性
-
-### 🔍 混合检索引擎
-- **向量召回 (Vector Retrieval)**：基于语义相似度的深度理解
-- **词法召回 (Lexical/FTS)**：精确匹配函数名、类名等技术术语
-- **RRF 融合 (Reciprocal Rank Fusion)**：智能融合多路召回结果
-
-### 🧠 AST 语义分片
-- **Tree-sitter 解析**：支持 TypeScript、JavaScript、Python、Go、Java、Rust、C、C++、C# 等语言
-- **Dual-Text 策略**：`displayCode` 用于展示，`vectorText` 用于 Embedding
-- **Gap-Aware 合并**：智能处理代码间隙，保持语义完整性
-- **Breadcrumb 注入**：向量文本包含层级路径，提升检索召回率
-- **UTF-16 字符域归一**：在写入 metadata 前用 `SourceAdapter.toCharOffset` 统一偏移，避免多字节字符切片错位（v1.4.0+）
-
-### 📊 三阶段上下文扩展
-- **E1 邻居扩展**：同文件前后相邻 chunks，保证代码块完整性
-- **E2 面包屑补全**：同一类/函数下的其他方法，理解整体结构
-- **E3 Import 解析**：跨文件依赖追踪（可配置开关）
-
-### 🎯 智能截断策略 (Smart TopK)
-- **Anchor & Floor**：动态阈值 + 绝对下限双保险
-- **Delta Guard**：防止 Top1 outlier 场景的误判
-- **Safe Harbor**：前 N 个结果只检查下限，保证基本召回
-
-### 🔌 MCP 原生支持
-- **MCP Server 模式**：一键启动 Model Context Protocol 服务端
-- **意图与术语分离**：LLM 友好的 API 设计
-- **自动索引**：首次查询自动触发索引，增量更新透明无感
+---
 
-### 🛡️ Crash-Safe 数据架构 (v1.4.0+)
-- **正文唯一源**：LanceDB 仅存向量与定位元数据，正文回查 `files.content`，索引体积降低 30-50%
-- **跨库事务补偿**：LanceDB → FTS+outbox → SQLite mark 三阶段写入，任一失败自动回滚或重放
-- **迁移状态机**：`pending/done/aborted` 三态持久化，崩溃恢复自动重建
-- **跨进程互斥**：advisory lock 防止 MCP server 与 CLI 并发触发 LanceDB 迁移
-- **chunk_id 去重**：写入前预删除，防止 retry 场景产生重复行

-### 环境要求
+## ✨ Core Features
+
+### 🔍 Hybrid Retrieval Engine
+- **Vector Retrieval**: deep semantic understanding via similarity
+- **Lexical Retrieval (FTS)**: exact matching for function names, class names, and other technical terms
+- **RRF Fusion (Reciprocal Rank Fusion)**: intelligently merges multiple recall channels
+
+### 🧠 AST Semantic Chunking
+- **Tree-sitter parsing**: supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, Rust, C, C++, C#, and more
+- **Dual-Text strategy**: `displayCode` for presentation, `vectorText` for embedding
+- **Gap-Aware merging**: handles code gaps intelligently while preserving semantic integrity
+- **Breadcrumb injection**: vector text carries hierarchical paths to boost recall
+- **UTF-16 character-domain normalization**: offsets are unified via `SourceAdapter.toCharOffset` before writing metadata, preventing multi-byte character slicing errors (v1.4.0+)
+
+### 📊 Three-Stage Context Expansion
+- **E1 Neighbor expansion**: adjacent chunks within the same file, preserving block completeness
+- **E2 Breadcrumb completion**: sibling methods under the same class/function for structural understanding
+- **E3 Import resolution**: cross-file dependency tracking (configurable toggle)
+
+### 🎯 Smart TopK Cutoff
+- **Anchor & Floor**: dynamic threshold plus an absolute floor as dual safeguards
+- **Delta Guard**: prevents misjudgment in Top1-outlier scenarios
+- **Safe Harbor**: the first N results only check the floor, guaranteeing baseline recall
+
+### 🔌 Native MCP Support
+- **MCP Server mode**: launch a Model Context Protocol server with one command
+- **Multi-tool granularity** (v1.5.0+): beyond core semantic retrieval, adds dedicated tools for structure browsing, symbol references, symbol definitions, and statistics
+- **Intent/term separation**: an LLM-friendly API design
+- **Auto-indexing**: the first query triggers indexing automatically; incremental updates are transparent
+
+### ⚡ Query Cache & File Watching (v1.5.0+)
+- **Query cache (QueryCache)**: in-process per-project LRU cache (50 entries by default); a hit skips the entire vector recall / rerank / expansion pipeline
+- **Automatic cache invalidation**: the cache key is composed of `normalized query + projectId + index version + search-config fingerprint`, so it invalidates automatically after an index update or config change — stale results are never returned
+- **Watch mode**: `contextweaver watch` watches the filesystem and triggers incremental indexing automatically, with debouncing (500ms by default) and scan de-duplication (no concurrent scans)
+
+### 📈 Statistics & Observability (v1.5.0+)
+- **Three metric groups**: indexing process, search quality/behavior, health/consistency
+- **Dual exits**: `contextweaver stats` CLI (with `--json`) plus the MCP `stats` tool
+- **Consistency diagnostics**: automatically detects abnormal migration state, `pending_marks` backlog, missing vector rows, and more — with suggested fixes
+
+### 🛡️ Crash-Safe Data Architecture (v1.4.0+)
+- **Single source of truth for content**: LanceDB stores only vectors and locating metadata; content is read back from `files.content`, reducing index size by 30–50%
+- **Cross-store transactional compensation**: three-stage write LanceDB → FTS+outbox → SQLite mark, with automatic rollback or replay on any failure
+- **Migration state machine**: `pending/done/aborted` persisted, auto-rebuilt on crash recovery
+- **Cross-process mutual exclusion**: an advisory lock prevents the MCP server and CLI from triggering LanceDB migration concurrently
+- **chunk_id de-duplication**: pre-delete before write to avoid duplicate rows on retry

-### MCP 工具说明
+### MCP Tools Overview (v1.5.0+)
+
+ContextWeaver exposes 5 MCP tools, following a layered design of "semantic retrieval first, structure browsing second":
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Embedding cost |
+|------|---------|----------------|
+| `codebase-retrieval` | **Primary tool**: hybrid semantic + exact-match retrieval | Yes |
+| `list-files` | List indexed file structure (path/language/size) | No |
+| `find-references` | Find heuristic text references to a symbol | No |
+| `get-symbol-definition` | Find likely definition blocks for a symbol | No |
+| `stats` | Index/search/health statistics | No |
+
+#### `codebase-retrieval` Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `repo_path` | string | ✅ | Absolute path to the repository root |
+| `information_request` | string | ✅ | The semantic intent in natural language |
+| `technical_terms` | string[] | ❌ | Exact technical terms (class/function names, etc.) |
+
+#### `list-files` Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `repo_path` | string | ✅ | Absolute path to the repository root |
+| `glob` | string | ❌ | Glob pattern to filter paths |
+| `language` | string | ❌ | Language filter (matched against `files.language`) |
+| `max_results` | number | ❌ | Max files to return (default 200) |
+
+#### `find-references` Parameters
 
-ContextWeaver 提供一个核心 MCP 工具：`codebase-retrieval`
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `repo_path` | string | ✅ | Absolute path to the repository root |
+| `symbol` | string | ✅ | Exact symbol name |
+| `exclude_definition` | boolean | ❌ | Exclude chunks whose breadcrumb tail matches the symbol name |
+| `max_results` | number | ❌ | Max references to return (default 50) |
 
-#### 参数说明
+#### `get-symbol-definition` Parameters
 
-| 参数 | 类型 | 必需 | 描述 |
-|------|------|------|------|
-| `repo_path` | string | ✅ | 代码库根目录的绝对路径 |
-| `information_request` | string | ✅ | 自然语言形式的语义意图描述 |
-| `technical_terms` | string[] | ❌ | 精确技术术语（类名、函数名等） |
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `repo_path` | string | ✅ | Absolute path to the repository root |
+| `symbol` | string | ✅ | Exact symbol name to resolve |
+| `hint_path` | string | ❌ | Preferred path to disambiguate same-name definitions |
+| `max_results` | number | ❌ | Max definitions to return (default 3) |
 
-#### 设计理念
+> **Note**: `find-references` and `get-symbol-definition` are heuristic text lookups over indexed chunks, not compiler-accurate navigation. For exhaustive raw text matching, use `grep` outside MCP.
 
-- **意图与术语分离**：`information_request` 描述「做什么」，`technical_terms` 过滤「叫什么」
-- **同文件上下文优先**：默认提供同文件上下文，跨文件探索由 Agent 自主发起
-- **回归代理本能**：工具只负责定位，跨文件探索由 Agent 按需触发
+#### Design Philosophy
 
-## 🏗️ 架构设计
+- **Intent/term separation**: `information_request` describes "what to do", `technical_terms` filters "what it's called"
+- **Same-file context first**: same-file context is provided by default; cross-file exploration is initiated by the agent
+- **Return to agent instincts**: the tool only locates; cross-file exploration is triggered by the agent on demand

-**关键不变量**：
-- 正文唯一源是 `files.content`；`ChunkContentLoader` 用 `start_index/end_index` 切片（与 `displayCode` 同源）
-- 所有 LanceDB 偏移字段都在 UTF-16 字符域，多字节文件不会切错
-- 跨库写入顺序：LanceDB → (FTS + outbox 单事务) → SQLite mark + 清 outbox
-- LanceDB 迁移状态 `pending/done/aborted` 持久化，跨进程用 advisory lock 互斥
+**Key invariants**:
+- The single source of truth for content is `files.content`; `ChunkContentLoader` slices via `start_index/end_index` (same source as `displayCode`)
+- All LanceDB offset fields live in the UTF-16 character domain; multi-byte files are never sliced incorrectly
+- Cross-store write order: LanceDB → (FTS + outbox single transaction) → SQLite mark + clear outbox
+- LanceDB migration state `pending/done/aborted` is persisted, with cross-process mutual exclusion via an advisory lock
+- The query cache key is bound to the index version and search-config fingerprint; it invalidates on any index or config change

-## 📊 性能特性
+## 📊 Performance Characteristics
+
+- **Query cache**: repeated queries hit the LRU cache, skipping the entire recall/rerank/expansion pipeline (v1.5.0+)
+- **Incremental indexing**: only changed files are processed; re-indexing is 10x+ faster
+- **Batch embedding**: adaptive batch size with concurrency control
+- **Rate-limit recovery**: automatic backoff on 429 errors, gradual recovery
+- **Connection pool reuse**: pooled Tree-sitter parsers
+- **File index caching**: lazy-loaded file-path index in GraphExpander
+- **Zero-cost metadata tools**: `list-files`/`find-references`/`get-symbol-definition` do not call the Embedding API (v1.5.0+)
 
-- **增量索引**：只处理变更文件，二次索引速度提升 10x+
-- **批量 Embedding**：自适应批次大小，支持并发控制
-- **速率限制恢复**：429 错误时自动退避，渐进恢复
-- **连接池复用**：Tree-sitter 解析器池化复用
-- **文件索引缓存**：GraphExpander 文件路径索引 lazy load
+## 📈 Statistics & Observability (v1.5.0+)
 
-## 🐛 日志与调试
+`contextweaver stats` outputs three sections:
 
-日志文件位置：`~/.contextweaver/logs/app.YYYY-MM-DD.log`
+- **Indexing process**: cumulative index run count, last index time, last-run snapshot (added/modified/deleted/unchanged/skipped/errors + vector index details)
+- **Search quality/behavior**: cumulative queries, cache hit rate, actual compute runs, plus average per-stage latency (retrieve / rerank / expand / pack) and average recalled seed count
+- **Health/consistency**: file count and total content size, LanceDB vector row count, embedding dimensions, index version, migration state, `pending_marks`, language breakdown
 
-设置日志级别：
+When an abnormal migration state, `pending_marks` backlog, or missing vector rows are detected, the report appends **diagnostic warnings** with the corresponding fix commands. The `--json` output maps to `StatsReport` for scripts and monitoring systems.
+
+## 🐛 Logging & Debugging
+
+Log file location: `~/.contextweaver/logs/app.YYYY-MM-DD.log`
+
+Set the log level:
 
 ```bash
-# 开启 debug 日志
+# Enable debug logging
 LOG_LEVEL=debug contextweaver search --information-request "..."
 ```
 
-## 🚨 故障排查 (v1.4.0+)
+## 🚨 Troubleshooting (v1.4.0+)
 
-### LanceDB 迁移卡死 (`aborted` 状态)
+### LanceDB Migration Stuck (`aborted` state)
 
-**现象**：`contextweaver index` 报错 "LanceDB 处于 aborted 状态，拒绝写入以防止 schema 污染"。
+**Symptom**: `contextweaver index` errors with "LanceDB is in the aborted state, refusing to write to prevent schema pollution."
 
-**原因**：v1.4.0 升级时 LanceDB 旧索引中的 `display_code` 与当前 `files.content` 抽样差异 > 1%（通常发生在 chunk 偏移用 UTF-8 字节域旧索引上）。
+**Cause**: during the v1.4.0 upgrade, the old LanceDB index's `display_code` differs from the current `files.content` by >1% on sampling (typically on legacy indexes whose chunk offsets used the UTF-8 byte domain).
 
-**解决**：
+**Fix**:
 ```bash
-contextweaver migrate --reset   # 清空 LanceDB chunks 表 + 重置状态为 done
-contextweaver index             # 全量重建（新 schema）
+contextweaver migrate --reset   # Clear the LanceDB chunks table + reset state to done
+contextweaver index             # Full rebuild (new schema)
 ```
 
-### 跨进程迁移竞争
+You can also run `contextweaver stats` first to view diagnostic warnings and confirm the current migration state and `pending_marks` backlog.
 
-如果 MCP server 长驻 + 另一终端跑 `contextweaver index`，两进程会争抢迁移。v1.4.0 引入 10 分钟僵尸阈值的 advisory lock，自动让一个进程跳过迁移、另一个完成。
+### Cross-Process Migration Race
 
-如锁卡住（process kill -9 后），可手动清理：
+If the MCP server is long-running and another terminal runs `contextweaver index`, the two processes contend for migration. v1.4.0 introduces an advisory lock with a 10-minute zombie threshold, automatically letting one process skip migration while the other completes it.
+
+If the lock gets stuck (after `kill -9`), clear it manually:
 ```bash
 sqlite3 ~/.contextweaver/<projectId>/index.db \
   "DELETE FROM metadata WHERE key = 'lancedb_migration_lock';"
 ```
 
-### 重复 embedding 浪费
+### Wasted Duplicate Embeddings
+
+v1.4.0 solves this via the `pending_marks` outbox: when an FTS write succeeds but the vector_index_hash mark fails, it is replayed automatically on the next launch, avoiding duplicate embeddings.
+
+### Search Results Don't Reflect Recent Changes
 
-v1.4.0 已通过 `pending_marks` outbox 机制解决：FTS 写入成功但 vector_index_hash 标记失败时，下次启动自动 replay，不会触发重复 embedding。
+Confirm incremental indexing has run (or enable `contextweaver watch` for automatic increments). The query cache key is bound to the index version, so old cache entries invalidate automatically after an index update — no manual clearing needed.
