sha256:c0eba5ad689cec79f4a3fcdc4f5da78556cb4b8cb7b330f944634356c10379ed chore: pivot to nightly channel — bump version to 0.2.0.dev… Sonnet 5 patch 13 days ago
1 """muse code narrative — plain-English story of a symbol's life.
2
3 Every other analysis command answers a *dimensional* question:
4
5 ``age`` → how old?
6 ``hotspots`` → how churned?
7 ``blast-risk`` → how risky?
8 ``semantic-test-coverage`` → how tested?
9
10 ``narrative`` answers a *biographical* question:
11
12 **"What happened to this symbol, and why?"**
13
14 It reads every structured delta that ever touched the symbol, walks back
15 through the commit graph, and composes a timeline or flowing prose story of
16 the symbol's complete life — from the commit that created it to the last
17 commit that changed it.
18
19 This is only possible because Muse records *why* each change happened at the
20 semantic level (body rewrite, signature change, rename) in addition to *what*
21 changed. A line-diff VCS can tell you bytes changed; Muse tells you the
22 story.
23
24 Output modes
25 ------------
26 ``--format timeline`` (default)
27 Chronological event list with dates, commit fragments, and SemVer bumps.
28
29 ``--format prose``
30 Flowing paragraph — suitable for proposal summaries, code reviews,
31 or documentation.
32
33 ``--show-source``
34 Append the symbol's source at birth (first version) and at HEAD (current
35 version), if the source can be read from the object store.
36

72 Life summary
73 Born: Jan 12, 2026 (97 days ago)
74 Last change: Mar 20, 2026 (commit f2d9b447)
75 Events: 3 body rewrites · 2 signature changes · 1 rename
76 Survival: ~25% of original implementation remains
77 Status: Alive
78
79 Prose output (``--format prose``)::
80
81 Invoice.compute_total was born on January 12th, 2026 as a method on the
82 Invoice class (commit a3f2c9e1). Three weeks later its signature was
83 extended with an optional currency parameter — a MINOR bump. On February
84 14th the body was rewritten for performance, replacing a manual loop with
85 a sum() comprehension. On March 1st the function was renamed from
86 compute_invoice_total to compute_total during an API cleanup. The most
87 significant event came on March 8th: a full body rewrite to add currency
88 conversion logic, the largest change in the symbol's history. Finally,
89 on March 20th the currency parameter was made required — a MAJOR breaking
90 change.
91
92 At 97 days old, the method has survived 3 body rewrites and retains an
93 estimated 25% of its original implementation.

126 Security note
127 -------------
128 Symbol addresses are validated to contain ``::`` and both path components are
129 stripped of leading/trailing whitespace before any file-system access.
130 Commit messages are sanitised (control characters removed) before display so
131 a malicious commit message cannot inject terminal escape sequences.
