Action Summary

This GitHub Action installs the latest Constellation CLI and indexes your repository’s codebase using Tree-sitter AST analysis, ensuring AI assistants can understand your code without transmitting source code. It provides a privacy-first approach by extracting only AST metadata and offers automatic updates to the CLI version. The action supports cross-platform operation on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows runners and includes a smart diff detection mechanism to skip indexing when no files matching the configuration have changed.

What’s Changed

What’s new?

  • Incremental indexing in CI: every trigger now ensures full git history is available (self-healing shallow clones), so the CLI can compute deltas against the last indexed commit instead of falling back to a full re-index on each push — dramatically reducing index churn
  • No more waiting on the server: the action now finishes as soon as the upload is accepted instead of polling until server-side indexing completes, cutting idle runner minutes; a new wait input (default "false") restores the old behavior for workflows that need the completed index
  • Manual runs are truly full re-indexes: workflow_dispatch triggers now explicitly request a full re-index, guaranteeing a clean rebuild when you click “Run workflow”
  • More reliable diff-checks on shallow clones — pushes that touch no tracked files can now skip indexing entirely
