# PMAT v2.179.0 - Git-Commit Correlation (Sprint 65 Complete)

**Release Date**: October 28, 2025
**Sprint**: 65 (Phases 1-3)
**Theme**: Quality Archaeology - Link TDG metrics to git commits
**Status**: ✅ Production Ready

---

## 🎉 Major Features

### Git-Commit Correlation for TDG

PMAT can now track Technical Debt Grading (TDG) scores at specific git commits, enabling powerful "quality archaeology" workflows. Answer questions like:
- "Which commit broke quality?"
- "What's the quality delta between releases?"
- "How has quality trended over the last 10 commits?"

**Inspired by**: HGM (Huxley-Gödel Machine) quality tracking approach (arXiv 2510.21614)

---

## 🚀 New Commands

### `pmat tdg --with-git-context`

Analyze files while capturing git metadata:

```bash
# Analyze with git context
pmat tdg server/src/lib.rs --with-git-context

# Output includes git information:
# 🔗 Git Context:
#   ├─ Commit:  60125a0
#   ├─ Branch:  master
#   └─ Author:  Noah Gift
```

**MCP Support:**
```json
{
  "tool": "analyze.tdg",
  "arguments": {
    "paths": ["server/src/lib.rs"],
    "with_git_context": true
  }
}
```

### `pmat tdg history` (NEW!)

Query TDG history at specific commits:

```bash
# Query specific commit
pmat tdg history --commit 60125a0
pmat tdg history --commit v2.178.0

# History since reference
pmat tdg history --since HEAD~10
pmat tdg history --since v2.177.0

# Commit range
pmat tdg history --range HEAD~10..HEAD
pmat tdg history --range v2.177.0..v2.178.0

# Filter by file
pmat tdg history --path server/src/lib.rs --since HEAD~5

# JSON output for scripting
pmat tdg history --commit v2.178.0 --format json
```

**Output Formats:**

**Table (Default):**

## 📊 Use Cases

### Quality Archaeology
```bash
# Find when quality dropped below B+
pmat tdg history --since HEAD~50 --format json | \
  jq '.history[] | select(.score.grade | test("C|D|F"))'
```

### Release Quality Tracking
```bash
# Compare quality between releases
pmat tdg history --range v2.177.0..v2.178.0
```

### Regression Detection
```bash
# Files that regressed since last release
pmat tdg history --since v2.178.0 --format json | \
  jq '.history[] | select(.score.total < 80)'
```

### Developer Metrics
```bash
# Quality attribution
pmat tdg history --commit abc123 --format json | \
  jq '.history[].git_context.author_name'
```

## 🔧 Technical Details

### Implementation Summary

**Total Code**: 1,214 lines across 3 phases
- Phase 1: GitContext Foundation (324 lines, 17 tests)
- Phase 2: CLI & MCP Integration (837 lines, 35 tests)
- Phase 3: TDG History Commands (377 lines, 12 tests)

**Commits**: 4 production commits
- 7b40db96 - Phase 1: GitContext foundation
- 3730e612 - Phase 2A: CLI integration
- fa1279f9 - Phase 2B: MCP integration
- 3ca73739 - Phase 3: History commands

### Architecture

**GitContext Data Model** (`server/src/models/git_context.rs`):
- 12 fields: commit SHA, branch, author, timestamp, tags, etc.
- git2-rs integration for robust git operations
- Serializable/deserializable for storage

**Storage Integration** (`server/src/tdg/storage.rs`):
- New query methods:
  - `get_by_commit(sha)` - Query by SHA/short SHA/tag
  - `get_all_with_git_context()` - All records with git metadata
  - `get_by_path(path)` - Filter by file path
- Searches both warm (LZ4 compressed) and cold storage
- Results sorted by commit timestamp (newest first)

**Git2 Integration** (`server/src/cli/handlers/tdg_handlers.rs`):
- Tag resolution support
- Commit range filtering
- Time-based record filtering
- Repository discovery

### Performance

**Storage Overhead:**
- GitContext size: ~200 bytes uncompressed
- LZ4 compressed: ~100 bytes per file
- 10,000 files: ~1 MB total (negligible)

**Analysis Overhead:**
- Git extraction: <5ms per analysis
- Total overhead: <1% of analysis time

**Conclusion**: Zero measurable performance impact

## 🐛 Bug Fixes

### CRITICAL: Git context extraction (commit b076f9e2)

**Problem**: Git context was never being stored when using `--with-git-context` flag.

**Root Cause**: `handle_tdg_command()` passed file path (e.g., `server/src/lib.rs`) to `GitContext::try_from_current_dir()`, which failed since file paths are not git repositories.

**Fix**: Now uses `git2::Repository::discover()` to find repo root from file's parent directory.

**Impact**:
- `pmat tdg history` commands now work correctly
- Git context properly stored with commit SHA, branch, author, timestamp
- All dogfooding tests passing

**Discovered During**: Dogfooding session on October 28, 2025
