Summary

Before: there was no way to pull a block of statements out into its own function, or to fold a small function back into its callers. cgr extract and cgr inline don't exist.

After: cgr extract <function> <start> <end> <name> moves a span of whole statements into a new function. Values it reads become parameters and values used later become return values. cgr inline <function> replaces every call site the graph knows about with the body of a single-return function, then removes the definition once nothing calls it. Both are also available as the extract and inline MCP tools. Each run reports what it changed and the edit contract's verdict.

How: this is built on the move branch (#2907), so it is stacked on that PR. Inline finds each call with sites.call_node_at. The CLI and MCP handlers check the project's source root and re-ingest the same way change_signature does. If a measure or rollback re-ingest fails, the result reports graph_incomplete instead of raising, and the MCP handler records that durably.

  • Adds codebase_rag/editing/extract_*.py and inline_operation.py, plus the CLI commands, MCP tools, tool descriptions and docs/architecture/extract-inline.md.
  • Adds unit, CLI, MCP and regression tests for both operations.

Demo

cgr extract and cgr inline: main vs this branch

A real terminal session against Memgraph on a small report package:

  • Before (main): cgr extract is No such command 'extract'.
  • After (this branch): cgr extract ...report.build 2 5 accumulate applies the change, lists the inputs and outputs, and the file now has accumulate(...), with the contract passing. cgr inline ...util.with_vat rewrites each call site in app.py, removes the definition, and main() still returns the same value.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Performance improvement
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Documentation
  • CI/CD or tooling
  • Dependencies

Related Issues

Closes #1535. Part of #1521. Stacked on #2907.

Test Plan

  • Unit tests pass (uv run pytest -n auto -m "not integration"): the full suite is green except two C# SDK toolchain guards that need a .NET SDK this machine doesn't have.
  • New tests added
  • Integration tests pass (make test-integration, requires Docker)
  • Manual testing: the session in the demo above.

Checklist

  • PR title follows Conventional Commits format
  • All pre-commit checks pass (make pre-commit)
  • No hardcoded strings in non-config/non-constants files
  • No # type: ignore, cast(), Any, or object type hints
  • New comments and docstrings explain why, not what (see Comment Policy)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added CLI and MCP tools to extract whole statements into a new function, with dry-run support.
    • Added CLI and MCP tools to inline eligible single-return functions at known call sites, with dry-run support.
    • Both operations report proposed or applied changes and refuse edits when safety checks fail.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of blank-line separators after moved definitions in files using CRLF line endings.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for extract and inline operations to the architecture, CLI, and MCP documentation.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 1/5

[Medium risk] Adds extract and inline refactoring operations to the editing system.

Not safe to merge until the four reproduced behavior-preservation failures are fixed.

Findings

  1. P1 Extract calls shadowing values ▶
  2. P1 Extraction removes function headers ▶
  3. P1 Default imports disappear ▶
  4. P1 Inlined types lose declarations ▶

Summary

Adds extract and inline through the Python API, CLI, and MCP, with transaction checks, graph checks, documentation, and regression tests.

Four behavior-preservation failures need fixing before merging. Extraction can call a shadowing parameter or local and can remove a one-line function's header. Inlining can remove a still-needed default import and can copy a generic TypeScript type outside its declaration. Execution confirmed crashes, an incorrect result, and a compilation failure in these cases.

The existing MCP guard against editing an incomplete graph remains intact.

All 11 Greptile findings are addressed in 31e715b..6f6a43e. Each has a regression test that runs the original and the rewritten program and compares the output. The new tests are in test_extract_operation_review.py and test_inline_operation_review.py; 34 of them fail on fc71d7b and all 65 pass now.

Finding Outcome Commit
Extracted increments vanish x += 1, x++ and --x now bind the name, so the update is returned to the caller 31e715b
Extracted variables stop accepting updates An output written later is declared let (var stays var) 920e8fb
Extracted branches crash A name written on only some paths is also passed in; refused when it may be unbound before the span 31e715b, 72e4a26
Nested functions read stale values A name read by an earlier closure is an output; refused when a closure in the span would keep a stale copy 31e715b
Shared-value updates crash Refused for writes to global/nonlocal names 920e8fb
Extracted class helpers fail classmethod and staticmethod helpers keep their decorator and are called through cls or the class 920e8fb
Extracted TypeScript stops building Helper parameters carry the local's declared type; refused when there is none 920e8fb
Inlining repeats property reads Attribute arguments must be read exactly once, the same rule as calls 29ca865
Inlining skips decorators Decorated definitions are refused 29ca865
Inlining deletes neighboring code Only the definition's own bytes are cut when other code shares its line 29ca865
Extraction changes string contents Continuation lines of multi-line strings and template literals are not re-indented 920e8fb

Two related gaps were also closed: writes under &&, ||, ?: or a walrus now count as conditional (72e4a26), and JS writes to names declared outside the function are refused (6f6a43e).

Greptile's second review (on a8a4447) found four more cases where an extract or inline applied and passed its graph check but broke compilation or changed behavior. All four are fixed on 5e08a09, each with a test that compiles or runs the result; all 12 new tests fail on a8a4447.

Thread Fix
Generic helpers stop compiling 1d9d8be: the helper declares the function's type parameters that its parameter types or body name, plus any their constraints or defaults name, and the call passes them explicitly (part<T>(x)), since a parameter only the body uses has nothing to infer it from. A method's helper is already a method of the same class, so class type parameters stay in scope. The test compiles both forms with tsc --strict --noEmit.
Inlining deletes neighboring code bb99b32: an import is no longer deleted line-wise. When the only thing removed is an import that loads nothing new (a type-only import, or the importer's own package), only its own bytes and separator are cut, the way _cut_span does for a definition.
Module startup work disappears bb99b32: removing the last name an import binds now replaces the import in place with one that only loads the module (import pkg.util, from . import util, import './util.js';, require('./util');), so import-time work still runs and code sharing the line stays. If the Python form would bind a name the file already uses for something else, the original import and the definition are both kept.
Inlining reads changed argument values d4561ac: a call is left unchanged when a name argument would be read after something in the copied expression that runs code (a call, new, await, yield, or the condition of x if c else y), unless nothing can rebind that name meanwhile: in Python a local of the enclosing function that no scope declares global or nonlocal, in JavaScript a binding the file declares and never assigns. The definition is kept whenever a call site is left unchanged.

The branch also merges the updated move PR, which now carries the latest main.

Greptile's four P1 findings are fixed in ea5ac85. Each one has a regression test that fails before the fix.

Finding Fix Test
Extract calls shadowing values extract now refuses a helper name that the edited function already binds as a parameter, a local, an import or a nested def, wherever the call is a bare name. Method helpers called through self, cls or this are unaffected. test_extract_refuses_a_helper_name_the_function_binds (Python parameter, Python local, JS parameter)
Extraction removes function headers The span is cut as whole lines, so extract now refuses when code outside the span shares a line with it. That covers a one-line def's header and a one-line body's closing brace. Trailing comments and ; are still allowed. test_extract_refuses_a_body_sharing_a_line_with_its_header (Python, JS)
Default imports disappear When the last named entry is removed, import dflt, { helper } from 'm' becomes import dflt from 'm' instead of a bare side-effect import. test_inline_keeps_the_default_import_beside_a_removed_named_one (runs the rewritten module under node)
Inlined types lose declarations inline now refuses a returned expression that names the callee's own type parameter, in TypeScript <T> and Python 3.12 [T]. The call site's type arguments are often inferred, so there is nothing to substitute. test_inline_refuses_a_return_naming_the_callee_type_parameter (TS, Python)

The 155 extract and inline tests pass locally. ruff and ty are clean.

…1535)

Ports extract (a span of whole statements into a new function; inputs
become parameters, outputs are returned) and inline (a single-return
function at every call site the graph knows, the definition removed once
no caller remains) from the old feat/extract-inline line, with its review
fixes from fix/extract-inline-threads, onto the move branch. Adds
`cgr extract`, `cgr inline` and the `extract` and `inline` MCP tools.

Adapted to main: inline locates a call with sites.call_node_at; the CLI
and MCP handlers check the project's source root and build their re-ingest
like change_signature; the contract step returns what it decided instead
of a mutated report (no Any), and a failed measure or rollback re-ingest
reports graph_incomplete instead of raising, which the MCP handler
records durably.
…names

Three scope-analysis gaps let an extracted helper change what the
caller sees:

- JS `x += 1`, `x++` and `--x` were reads only, so the helper updated
  its own parameter and the caller kept the old value. They now bind
  the name like `x = ...` does.
- An output bound before the span and written on only some paths
  through it was not an input, so the helper returned it unbound
  (Python UnboundLocalError, JS undefined). It is now passed in; when it
  may itself be unbound before the span, the extract is refused.
- A name the span rebinds is now an output when a closure defined
  before the span reads it, and a span whose closure reads a name the
  later code rebinds is refused, since the moved closure would keep the
  helper's stale copy.
Five rewrites changed the program that the extracted code runs in:

- A JS output the span declared was always re-declared `const`, so a
  later `x += 2` threw. It is now `let` when later code writes it, and
  a `var` stays a `var`.
- A Python span that writes a `global` or `nonlocal` name, or holds the
  declaration itself, is refused: the helper would bind its own local.
- A helper extracted from a `@classmethod` is a class method called
  through `cls`, and one from a `@staticmethod` is a static method
  called through the class name. A method with no receiver to call
  through is refused.
- A TypeScript helper's parameters carry the declared type of local
  inputs as well as of parameters. An input with no annotation to
  carry over (other than an implicitly-any parameter) is refused, as
  strict mode would reject the untyped parameter.
- Lines that continue a multi-line string or template literal keep
  their exact text through the dedent and re-indent, so the value of
  the string does not change.
Three inline rewrites changed what the program does:

- An attribute argument counted as freely duplicable, so
  `twice(counter.value)` ran an effectful getter twice and an unused
  parameter dropped it. Only names and literals may now be read more or
  fewer times than once; an attribute argument needs exactly one use,
  in order, as a call argument already did. The object of a
  module-qualified call is still dropped with the call.
- A decorated definition is refused: its callers called the decorated
  object, which the bare returned expression bypassed.
- Removing a definition that shares its first or last line with other
  code now cuts only the definition's own bytes, so a statement on the
  same line survives.
A write inside `c && (x = 1)`, `c || (x = 1)`, `c ? (x = 1) : 0`, a
logical assignment, or Python's `and`/`or`/conditional expression or a
comprehension counted as binding on every path. The helper then did
not take the name, and handed it back unbound or undefined on the path
that skipped the write. Such writes are now conditional, so the name
is also an input.

A Python walrus now binds its name, and overwrites it rather than
reading it, so a walrus output is returned to the caller instead of
being lost in the helper.
A name the span assigns, but the enclosing function never declares,
belongs to an outer scope: a module-level `let` or `var`, or an
undeclared global. The helper declared it as its own `let`, so the
write never reached the binding that the rest of the program reads.
Such spans are now refused.

What the function declares is taken where the span sees it: its
parameters, its top-level declarations, every `var` (hoisted), and the
catch and loop bindings inside the span.
…helper

A helper extracted from `function build<T>(x: T)` was declared beside
`build` as `function part(x: T)`, outside the `<T>` it names, so the
file stopped compiling (TS2304). The helper now declares the type
parameters its parameters and body name, plus any their constraints or
defaults name, and the call passes them explicitly (`part<T>(x)`), since
a parameter only the body uses has nothing to infer it from. A method's
helper stays a method, so the class's own parameters remain in scope.
Removing the last name an import bound deleted its whole line, so
`from pkg.util import helper; print('ready')` lost the print, and it
deleted the only import of the module, so whatever the module does at
import time (registering a handler) stopped running.

Such an import now becomes one that only loads the module, in place:
`import pkg.util`, `from . import util` for a relative one, and
`import './util'` or `require('./util')` in JavaScript. A Python form
that would bind a name the file already uses for something else keeps
the original import, and with it the definition. Only an import that
loads nothing new (a type-only one, or the importer's own package) is
cut, and then only its own bytes and separator when other code shares
its line.
A name argument was substituted as is, but the call read it before the
callee ran and the copied expression reads it where the parameter was,
after any call it makes first. With `helper(x)` returning
`advance() + x` and `advance` setting the global `n = 2`, `helper(n)`
gave 11 and the inlined `advance() + n` 12.

Such a call is now left unchanged unless nothing can rebind the name
meanwhile: in Python a local of the enclosing function that no nested
scope declares `nonlocal`, in JavaScript a binding the file declares and
never assigns. A read under Python's `x if c else y` counts as late,
since `c` runs first.
…eneric returns

Extract now refuses a helper name the edited function already binds (the
bare call would reach that binding) and a span sharing a line with code
outside it (a one-line def's header or a closing brace would move into
the helper). Inline keeps a default import beside the last removed named
import, and refuses a returned expression that names the callee's own
type parameter.
Main now scopes CYPHER_GRAPH_REFERENCES to the target's label (a TS type
and a function can share a qualified name, issue #2520); inline queried
it without one and every inline failed on the missing parameter.
The page said an import statement binding only the inlined name is
deleted. The code keeps it as a plain module import (`from pkg.util
import wrapper` becomes `import pkg.util`), so the module's import-time
work still runs, and cuts only an import that loads nothing new: a
type-only import, or `from . import wrapper`.
extract replaces statements with a call to a new helper and inline
replaces call sites and removes the definition, but neither was in an
annotation set: both reported destructiveHint=false, and
test_mcp_tool_annotations.py failed on them.

Add both to MCP_DESTRUCTIVE_TOOLS, to the tests' WRITERS and destructive
lists, to the read-only refusal test's edit operations, and to the
documented list of destructive tools.
Rename, change_signature, move and extract each spelled out the same
three messages; define them once in constants/cli.py and alias the
per-operation names to them, so every name keeps its value.

_SIMPLE_ARG was never referenced outside its own test: inline decides
whether an argument needs parentheses from the syntax tree, in
_is_atomic. Remove it and that test.

Also replace a chained conditional expression with if/elif, pass the
children straight to next(iter(...)), and mark an unpacked value the
inline planner does not read.
