CODENS: Transforming Code Changes into Living, Accessible, and Queryable Documentation

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.18356v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Maintaining up-to-date code documentation is difficult in fast-moving repositories because design knowledge is scattered across source files and pull requests. We present CODENS , a system that turns pull requests into living, accessible, and queryable documentation for production codebases. CODENS incrementally builds a typed software knowledge graph from pull requests, enriches components through schema-driven semantic extraction, derives typed relations between them, and exposes the resulting knowledge through three retrieval modes, including agent-guided graph traversal for repository-level question answering. The system also preserves semantic change history across pull requests and integrates both answer-quality and operational evalua
