Local Codebase Chat

The local-codebase application-state key is written by the Ask Plan browser folder picker when a user links a local codebase. It includes the selected folder name plus personal resource paths for the latest code index, file tree, and captured source snapshots.

• The Ask Plan page can link a browser-selected local codebase folder. The UI indexes safe text files, skips generated/secret-looking paths, writes a small personal instruction resource under instructions/local-codebases/, and stores captured file snapshots under codebases/<id>/snapshots/<timestamp>/.
• For live codebase questions, call view-screen when context is unclear and inspect localCodebase. First read its indexPath with the resources tool using scope: "personal", then read relevant captured file resourcePaths before making claims. Do not infer API contracts, schema shape, or UI behavior from file names alone.
• If the file needed to answer is absent or skipped, ask the user to sync again or attach the file instead of guessing.
• For API/schema/UI visualization from a local codebase, call get-plan-blocks or list-plan-components before visual-answer, then publish blocks such as openapi-spec, api-endpoint, data-model, diagram, file-tree, tabs, and annotated-code grounded in the files you read.
