A macOS tool for source code exploration.

This version is a Swift and SwiftUI port of lumencode, with a native C++ bridge for analysis logic and a separate internal CLI harness for tight development loops.

• lumencode-swift.xcodeproj A real macOS app project for day-to-day GUI development in Xcode.
• Package.swift Swift Package manifest used for the shared core, native bridge, and CLI harness.
• Sources/LumencodeSwiftApp SwiftUI macOS interface layer.
• Sources/LumencodeCore Shared Swift models and workspace helpers used by both the GUI and CLI.
• Sources/LumencodeNativeBridge Native C/C++ bridge boundary used by Swift for file analysis.
• Sources/LumencodeCLI Internal harness for regression-style development and analysis validation.

For the GUI app, open:

• lumencode-swift/lumencode-swift.xcodeproj

Then in Xcode:

1. Select the lumencode-swift scheme.
2. Click Run.
3. Use Open Folder… in the app to inspect a project.

Important:

• Do not open Package.swift if your goal is to run the GUI app from Xcode.
• Opening Package.swift gives you package executables, not the real .app target.

The CLI is intentionally not the end-user product. It exists so backend and analysis work can be developed in a closed loop without needing manual GUI verification.

Build:

cd /lumencode-swift
swift build

Run the internal harness:

swift run lumencode-swift-cli /path/to/project

Dump one file analysis:

swift run lumencode-swift-cli --dump-file /path/to/file.swift

• GUI responsibilities:
  • project opening
  • tree navigation
  • symbol and dependency inspection
  • lower source/snippet pane
  • platform-specific presentation and interaction behavior
• Core responsibilities:
  • stable data models
  • path and snippet helpers
  • selection payload shaping
  • project scanning
• Native bridge responsibilities:
  • file parsing
  • symbol extraction
  • dependency extraction
  • native-language expansion path toward parity with the Kirigami version

Tree-sitter code in this repo is vendored source code, not a runtime dependency on the Tree-sitter app or CLI.

That means:

• Xcode builds should work from checked-in code alone
• SwiftPM builds should work from checked-in code alone
• generated parser sources and upstream license/provenance notes must stay documented

The Swift app now has:

• a real Xcode app target
• a working Docked macOS app
• file browsing
• symbol inspection
• dependency and route inspection hooks
• a lower source pane
• a native analysis bridge

It is still behind the Kirigami original in parser depth, detail richness, and some interface behavior.
