Index Harness: MIT-licensed local code context retrieval with SHA-256 hash verification and zero dependencies

goyasapiens · reddit · 2026-09-09

A developer open-sourced Index Harness (MIT), a standalone library and CLI extracted from the GOYA project for retrieving verifiable source context in AI apps. It indexes local code/text with SQLite FTS5, locates relevant files and Python symbols, and builds character-budgeted context packets with source paths and SHA-256 digests — verified reads refuse content that no longer matches the catalog.

No API key, GPU, vector server, or third-party runtime dependencies; indexing makes no network calls or uploads. Ships with 19 passing macOS tests and a reproducible synthetic benchmark. Alpha status: macOS-tested only, Linux/WSL pending, no native Windows. It's lexical retrieval, not an embedding service or sandbox. Repo: github.com/sarapab-th/goya-index-harness
