Repository Context Snapshot

README.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, and docs/METADATA_PIPELINE.md describe the crate structure, CLI entry points, and metadata workflows. Consult them first when revisiting the project.
metadata_indexer now supports a refresh command that pulls jhalfs wget-list/md5sums manifests into ai/metadata/cache/ and the harvest command automatically draws URLs and checksums from those manifests.
AI state lives under ai/:
- ai/personas.json, ai/tasks.json, ai/bugs.json track personas, outstanding work, and known issues.
- ai/metadata/ stores package records plus the JSON schema.
- ai/notes.md captures ongoing research ideas (e.g., deeper BLFS/GLFS manifest coverage).
Duplicate MLFS metadata entries were pruned (binutils-pass1.json removed in favour of the binutils-pass-1.json slug).

This file is intended as a quick orientation checkpoint alongside the richer architecture docs.
