# TRUEREF-0017 — Incremental Re-indexing (Checksum Diff)
**Priority:** P1
**Status:** Pending
**Depends On:** TRUEREF-0009
**Blocks:**
---
## Overview
Optimize re-indexing by skipping files that haven't changed since the last indexing run. Uses file checksums (SHA-256) to detect changes. Only modified, added, or deleted files trigger parser/embedding work. This dramatically reduces re-indexing time for large repositories.
---
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Checksum comparison before parsing each file
- [ ] Unchanged files reuse existing `Document` and `Snippet` records (no re-parse, no re-embed)
- [ ] New files: full parse + embed
- [ ] Modified files: delete old snippets, parse new ones, re-embed
- [ ] Deleted files (present in DB but not in new crawl): delete documents and snippets
- [ ] Job progress reflects total files (including skipped), not just processed
- [ ] Statistics updated correctly after incremental run
- [ ] Integration test covering unchanged, modified, added, and deleted files
---
## Diff Algorithm
```typescript
interface FileDiff {
added: CrawledFile[]; // new files not in DB
modified: CrawledFile[]; // files with changed checksum
deleted: string[]; // file paths in DB but not in crawl
unchanged: string[]; // file paths with matching checksum
}
function computeDiff(
crawledFiles: CrawledFile[],
existingDocs: Document[] // documents currently in DB for this repo
): FileDiff {
const existingMap = new Map(existingDocs.map((d) => [d.filePath, d]));
const crawledMap = new Map(crawledFiles.map((f) => [f.path, f]));
const added: CrawledFile[] = [];
const modified: CrawledFile[] = [];
const unchanged: string[] = [];
for (const file of crawledFiles) {
const existing = existingMap.get(file.path);
if (!existing) {
added.push(file);
} else if (existing.checksum !== file.sha) {
modified.push(file);
} else {
unchanged.push(file.path);
}
}
const deleted = existingDocs
.filter((doc) => !crawledMap.has(doc.filePath))
.map((doc) => doc.filePath);
return { added, modified, deleted, unchanged };
}
```
---
## Integration with IndexingPipeline
```typescript
// In IndexingPipeline.run(), after crawling:
const existingDocs = this.getExistingDocuments(repo.id, job.versionId);
const diff = computeDiff(crawledResult.files, existingDocs);
// Log diff summary
this.updateJob(job.id, {
totalFiles: crawledResult.files.length
});
// Process only changed/new files
const filesToProcess = [...diff.added, ...diff.modified];
const newSnippets: NewSnippet[] = [];
const newDocuments: NewDocument[] = [];
const docIdsToDelete: string[] = [];
// Map modified files to their existing document IDs for deletion
for (const file of diff.modified) {
const existing = existingDocs.find((d) => d.filePath === file.path);
if (existing) docIdsToDelete.push(existing.id);
}
// Map deleted file paths to document IDs
for (const filePath of diff.deleted) {
const existing = existingDocs.find((d) => d.filePath === filePath);
if (existing) docIdsToDelete.push(existing.id);
}
// Parse new/modified files
for (const [i, file] of filesToProcess.entries()) {
const docId = crypto.randomUUID();
newDocuments.push({ id: docId, ...buildDocument(file, repo.id, job.versionId) });
newSnippets.push(...parseFile(file, { repositoryId: repo.id, documentId: docId }));
// Count ALL files (including skipped) in progress
const totalProcessed = diff.unchanged.length + i + 1;
const progress = Math.round((totalProcessed / crawledResult.files.length) * 80);
this.updateJob(job.id, {
processedFiles: totalProcessed,
progress
});
}
// Atomic replacement of only changed documents
this.replaceSnippets(repo.id, docIdsToDelete, newDocuments, newSnippets);
```

## Performance Impact
For a typical repository with 1,000 files where 50 changed:
- **Without incremental**: 1,000 files parsed + 1,000 embed batches
- **With incremental**: 50 files parsed + 50 embed batches
- Estimated speedup: ~20x for re-indexing

## Files to Modify
- `src/lib/server/pipeline/indexing.pipeline.ts` — add diff computation
- `src/lib/server/pipeline/diff.ts``computeDiff` function (new file)
- `src/lib/server/pipeline/diff.test.ts` — unit tests
