I dogfooded my own code intelligence tool and found 4 bugs I'd shipped

Building Sverklo (launching tomorrow on PH), I ran a structured dogfood protocol used the tool on its own codebase to find real bugs before users did.                                                                                  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

  Found 4 integration-level bugs that unit tests missed:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

  1. Impact analysis silently dropped repeat call sites the worst possible failure for a refactor-safety

  2. Reference search returned 48 substring matches, drowning the 5 real

  3. Lookup returned "No results" on valid queries instead of explaining why    

  4. Parser off-by-one skipped every function after the first in multi-function                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

  5. All fixed, regression-tested, and documented in a full unedited session log
