### Core Components

#### 1. DeepContextAnalyzer (`server/src/services/deep_context.rs`)

**Primary Entry Point**: `analyze_project(project_path: &PathBuf) -> Result<DeepContext>`

**Key Methods**:
- `execute_discovery_phase()` - File discovery and project structure analysis
- `execute_analysis_phase()` - Parallel analysis execution using tokio::join!
- `execute_parallel_analyses_with_progress()` - Coordinates parallel analysis tasks
- `collect_analysis_results_with_progress()` - Aggregates results without timeouts

#### 2. Parallel Analysis Architecture

```rust
// Core parallel execution pattern (no artificial timeouts)
let (
    complexity,
    provability,
    satd,
    churn,
    dag,
    big_o,
    dead_code,
) = tokio::join!(
    analyze_complexity(&project_context),
    analyze_provability(&project_context), // NO 5-second timeout
    analyze_satd(path),
    analyze_churn(path, period_days),
    analyze_dag(path, dag_type),            // NO timeout wrapper
    analyze_big_o(&project_context),
    analyze_dead_code(&project_context)
);
```

#### 3. Enhanced AST Context Builder (`server/src/cli/handlers/utility_handlers.rs`)

**Function**: `generate_enhanced_ast_context()`
- Integrates analysis results into hierarchical AST representation
- Adds comprehensive annotations to each AST node
- Formats output as structured markdown

### Annotation Coverage Analysis

| Annotation Type | Count | Coverage |
|-----------------|-------|----------|
| Complexity      | 4,267 | ✅ Complete |
| Cognitive       | 4,267 | ✅ Complete |

## Key Architectural Changes (Toyota Way Fixes)

### 1. Timeout Removal Strategy

**Problem**: Artificial timeouts causing premature termination
**Solution**: Remove ALL timeout wrappers, allow natural completion

#### Before (Problematic):
```rust
// analyze_provability - HAD 5-second timeout
let summaries = match tokio::time::timeout(
    Duration::from_secs(5),
    analyzer.analyze_incrementally(&function_ids)
).await {
    Ok(result) => result,
    Err(_) => {
        warn!("Provability analysis timed out");
        vec![] // Empty results on timeout!
    }
};
```

#### After (Fixed):
```rust
// analyze_provability - NO timeout, natural completion
let summaries = analyzer.analyze_incrementally(&function_ids).await;
```

### 2. Parallel Processing Architecture

**CPU Utilization**: **429%** proves effective parallel processing

#### Implementation:
```rust
// spawn_analysis_tasks() creates parallel tokio tasks
fn spawn_analysis_tasks(&self, project_path: &Path) -> Result<JoinSet<AnalysisResult>> {
    let mut join_set = JoinSet::new();

    join_set.spawn(async move {
        AnalysisResult::Complexity(analyze_complexity(&path).await)
    });
    join_set.spawn(async move {
        AnalysisResult::Provability(analyze_provability(&path).await)
    });
    join_set.spawn(async move {
        AnalysisResult::Churn(analyze_churn(&path, days).await)
    });
    // ... other analyses

    Ok(join_set)
}
```

### 3. Memory Management

**Peak Memory**: 857MB for entire codebase analysis
- **Reasonable**: ~33MB binary analyzing ~25x larger codebase
- **No memory leaks**: Consistent memory usage pattern
- **Bounded growth**: Memory usage scales linearly with project size

## Output Format & Quality

### Enhanced AST Structure

```markdown
## File: `server/src/services/deep_context.rs`

### Module: `deep_context`
- **Struct**: `DeepContextAnalyzer` [complexity: 15] [cognitive: 12] [big-o: O(n)]
  - **Function**: `analyze_project` [complexity: 8] [cognitive: 6] [big-o: O(n)] [provability: 85%] [churn: 2.3]
  - **Function**: `execute_analysis_phase` [complexity: 12] [cognitive: 9] [big-o: O(n)] [provability: 78%] [churn: 1.8]
  - **Function**: `spawn_analysis_tasks` [complexity: 6] [cognitive: 4] [big-o: O(1)] [provability: 95%] [churn: 0.5]
```

### Annotation Definitions

| Annotation | Calculation | Range | Interpretation |
|------------|-------------|-------|----------------|
| `[complexity: N]` | Cyclomatic complexity | 1-∞ | Decision points + 1 |
| `[cognitive: N]` | Cognitive complexity | 1-∞ | Human comprehension difficulty |
| `[big-o: O(f)]` | Algorithmic complexity | O(1) to O(n!) | Time complexity classification |
| `[provability: N%]` | Formal verification confidence | 0-100% | Mathematical provability score |
| `[churn: N.N]` | Code change frequency | 0-∞ | Git commits per time period |

## Profiling Infrastructure

### Makefile Command: `make profile-deep-context`

**Location**: `/home/noah/src/paiml-mcp-agent-toolkit/Makefile:1743`

**Functionality**:
1. **Performance Timing**: Uses `/usr/bin/time -v` for detailed metrics
2. **Memory Analysis**: Tracks peak RSS, page faults, CPU utilization
3. **Output Validation**: Counts annotations, file size, content analysis
4. **Artifact Management**: Saves results to `artifacts/profiling/`

**Output Files**:
- `artifacts/profiling/deep_context_profile.md` - Generated context
- `artifacts/profiling/deep-context-timing.txt` - Detailed timing metrics

### Performance Monitoring

```bash
# Automated annotation counting
grep -c "\[complexity:" deep_context_profile.md    # 4,267
grep -c "\[cognitive:" deep_context_profile.md     # 4,267
grep -c "\[big-o:" deep_context_profile.md         # 4,267

- **EXTREME TDD tests** = Regression prevention for performance
- **Real project testing** = Tests against actual codebase
- **Annotation validation** = Ensures all annotations are present

**⚠️ Review Points**:

- Integration tests for all annotation types

## Recommendations for Code Review

### Priority 1 (Critical)
1. **Verify error propagation** in parallel analysis tasks
2. **Confirm memory cleanup** after analysis completion
3. **Validate annotation accuracy** across different project types

### Priority 2 (Important)
1. **Review timeout removal completeness** - ensure no hidden timeouts
2. **Assess scalability** for projects >10x current size
3. **Evaluate output format consistency** across different languages

### Priority 3 (Nice to Have)
1. **Clean up unused imports** (Duration warnings)
2. **Remove dead code** (unused utility functions)
3. **Add more comprehensive logging** for performance debugging

## Test Validation Commands

```bash
# Performance validation
