 Rule of thumb: gather facts with CodeGraph MCP; open OntoSight when visualization helps the human explore complexity you already identified.
 
+### Project graph fidelity
+
+OntoSight reads nodes from `.codegraph/codegraph.db` under the **`[project-path]`** argument (default: shell `cwd`). The browser must show **this workspace's** project graph — never a foreign repo or auto-init index from the wrong directory.
+
+**Mandatory preflight** (before any OntoSight run):
+
+1. Resolve **workspace root** (Cursor `${workspaceFolder}` / absolute path from user context).
+2. `codegraph_status({ projectPath: "<workspace-root>" })` when MCP may be on wrong cwd; otherwise default.
+3. If index missing → `npx @colbymchenry/codegraph init -i` **in workspace root** (ask user on large repos).
+4. If MCP returns "wrong project" / path mismatch → pass `projectPath` on all subsequent `codegraph_*` calls.
+
+**Hard rule:** Do not open OntoSight until `.codegraph/codegraph.db` exists under the **target workspace root**.
+
+**Absolute project path** — never rely on bare `.` when workspace root is known:
+
+```bash
+# Required when workspace root is known
+npx @royalsolution/ontosight@0.2.0 "/absolute/path/to/workspace" \
+  --symbol <name> --path <dir>
+```
+
+Pass workspace root as the **first positional `[project-path]`** argument. Optionally set shell `cwd` to workspace root as well — but always pass the absolute path.
+
+**Seed binding** — seeds must come from the same project's CodeGraph index:
+
+| Seed mode | Requirement |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `--symbol` | Name **must** come from `codegraph_search` / `codegraph_context` with the **same** `projectPath`; `--path` must match the directory prefix of the returned file path |
+| `--task` | Only after `codegraph_context({ task, maxNodes })`; prefer `--symbol` when user named a symbol |
+| Default (no seed) | Full-project exploration only; still require absolute workspace path |
+
+**Anti-patterns (explicit ban):**
+
+- Do not use README/doc example symbols (`view_graph`, `deleteUser`) unless `codegraph_search` confirms they exist in **this** project.
+- Do not run OntoSight from a subdirectory with bare `.` — auto-init may index the wrong tree.
+
+**After launch:** confirm OntoSight terminal output shows the correct **project path** and topology symbols under that project. If mismatch → stop and re-run with corrected absolute path.

 Rule of thumb: gather facts with CodeGraph MCP; open OntoSight when visualization helps the human explore complexity you already identified.
 
+### Project graph fidelity
+
+OntoSight reads nodes from `.codegraph/codegraph.db` under the **`[project-path]`** argument (default: shell `cwd`). The browser must show **this workspace's** project graph — never a foreign repo or auto-init index from the wrong directory.
+
+**Mandatory preflight** (before any OntoSight run):
+
+1. Resolve **workspace root** (Cursor `${workspaceFolder}` / absolute path from user context).
+2. `codegraph_status({ projectPath: "<workspace-root>" })` when MCP may be on wrong cwd; otherwise default.
+3. If index missing → `npx @colbymchenry/codegraph init -i` **in workspace root** (ask user on large repos).
+4. If MCP returns "wrong project" / path mismatch → pass `projectPath` on all subsequent `codegraph_*` calls.
+
+**Hard rule:** Do not open OntoSight until `.codegraph/codegraph.db` exists under the **target workspace root**.
+
+**Absolute project path** — never rely on bare `.` when workspace root is known:
+
+```bash
+# Required when workspace root is known
+npx @royalsolution/ontosight@0.2.0 "/absolute/path/to/workspace" \
+  --symbol <name> --path <dir>
+```
+
+Pass workspace root as the **first positional `[project-path]`** argument. Optionally set shell `cwd` to workspace root as well — but always pass the absolute path.
+
+**Seed binding** — seeds must come from the same project's CodeGraph index:
+
+| Seed mode | Requirement |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `--symbol` | Name **must** come from `codegraph_search` / `codegraph_context` with the **same** `projectPath`; `--path` must match the directory prefix of the returned file path |
+| `--task` | Only after `codegraph_context({ task, maxNodes })`; prefer `--symbol` when user named a symbol |
+| Default (no seed) | Full-project exploration only; still require absolute workspace path |
+
+**Anti-patterns (explicit ban):**
+
+- Do not use README/doc example symbols (`view_graph`, `deleteUser`) unless `codegraph_search` confirms they exist in **this** project.
+- Do not run OntoSight from a subdirectory with bare `.` — auto-init may index the wrong tree.
+
+**After launch:** confirm OntoSight terminal output shows the correct **project path** and topology symbols under that project. If mismatch → stop and re-run with corrected absolute path.
