Source graph and AI check output
This release is available on GitHub only. Two protected npm runs stopped on distinct browser-test errors before publishing either package; the 0.16.43 forward release carries the same compiler and AI check changes to npm.
Skip unused graph indexing
Ordinary source modules create a lexical binding index during graph traversal only when a dynamic import needs ownership proof. In seven alternating runs on 50 routes and 450 imported modules, graph traversal median fell from 893.3 to 484.1 ms. Compiled output is byte-identical; whole-build timing is inconclusive.
Keep checks concise and useful
The opt-in create-kudzu AI check keeps full logs on disk, returns only the last 512 bytes of long successful checks, and includes a bounded diagnostic from the middle of failing logs when found. Generated browser output and default starter code are unchanged.
Keep the AI gate honest
These local tool-output improvements do not establish model-token savings. The latest complete R8 AI-delivery comparison remains Kudzu 23/25 versus React + Vite 24/25, so the 1.0 gate remains blocked.
