The old one had drifted into a wall of prose that described the project to
someone who already knew it. Rewritten around what a reader actually needs:
what this is, what it needs, how to run it, the keys, and what is in it --
with the logo up top and the sharp edges at the bottom instead of a wall of
disclaimers at the top.
Corrected while checking every claim rather than trusting it:
- pyproject depended on 'ida-codemode-mcp' from '../ida-codemode-mcp'. The
package is 'ida-codemode' and the repo is '../ida-codemode', so 'uv sync'
-- the documented install -- could not have worked for anyone. Fixed, and
uv.lock regenerated (it now resolves, 39 packages).
- test counts were 257/733, they are 302/788
- the keys table is generated from the real BINDINGS: c/d/a/p/u, o/O/B, s for
split, ctrl+t for structs, " for strings, all verified against app.py
- dropped the ida-pro-mcp/worker-era architecture section, which described
files that no longer exist, and replaced it with the current layout
- links docs/CODEMODE_UPSTREAM.md and .fastfeedback/SPEED.md, which did not
exist when the README was last touched
Every path and doc link in it is checked to exist.

It was swept into the tree by a broad 'git add -A' during the port. The merge
itself plus docs/CODEMODE_PORT.md are the record; a 251KB patch of superseded
content is not. Still on disk, now ignored.

Replaces the private idalib worker (idatui/worker.py + worker_client.py, with
server/patch_server.py injecting tools into ida-pro-mcp) with an ordinary
client of ida_codemode.client.DatabaseHandle. A database open by an IDA GUI is
reused; otherwise Code Mode starts or shares a managed idalib worker. The TUI
no longer owns an IDA process, and closing it releases only its lease.
Based on Duncan Ogilvie's port, rebased onto ~150 commits of local work it
predated. The rebase itself was mechanical; landing it was not. Nine defects
had to be fixed before the feature set was whole again, none of which the
patch's own tests could catch:
- DatabaseHandle.open() takes image_base, not loading_address: every
connect() would have raised TypeError on the first call
- five operations our tree had grown were simply missing (flowchart, so the
graph view was dead; op_format/pc_nums/pc_num_format, so 'o'/'O' were;
survey_binary)
- set_comments wrote only the disassembly comment, so comments never
appeared in pseudocode
- xref_query returned rows in raw IDA order, and 'follow the call' silently
followed the fall-through instead
- rename accepted one edit per category, so bulk symbol import was dead
- decompile ran decomp_map's full per-column ctree sweep to fill in a
per-line address anchor
- heads shipped without operand extents or the digest protocol
- the package became unimportable without ida_codemode installed, which
killed the offline test suites
Verified against the pre-codemode tag rather than against assumptions: the
full suite is 788 passed / 0 failed, and the pilot's 301 checks match the old
backend exactly. Performance is within 2x on the listing hot path and faster
on decompile, disasm and connect, after fixing two runtime costs that are
documented for upstream in docs/CODEMODE_UPSTREAM.md.
Test runtime came down from ~9m20s to 115s along the way -- not by removing
checks, but by removing four kinds of waiting-on-a-guess that were also
hiding real failures.

Nine items found while porting a latency-sensitive client, each with the
measurement behind it and a suggested fix, ordered by what it cost us.
The two that matter: timeout_trace returns itself, which turns on line tracing
in every frame (52x on ida_bytes.get_flags, 10x on a listing page), and
to_jsonable walking large results (114x what json.dumps of the same data
costs). Together they were the difference between 35x slower than the worker
we replaced and within 2x of it. Both live in the runtime, so every client
pays them until they are fixed centrally -- we only found them because we had
an in-process implementation to compare against.
Also records the things we had to reach into internals for (waiting for a
lease to release), the failure modes that are silent or fatal rather than
typed (loader switches on an existing IDB, an IDB replaced under a live
lease), and the one feature we could not port at all (discard-and-quit, since
a managed worker saves when its final lease closes).

Measured so nobody re-derives it: HTTP is 0.165ms of the 2.0ms floor and
execute_sync marshalling onto IDA's main thread is the other 1.86ms, inside
IDA's own serve() loop. Call volume is already minimal (8 calls to scroll 2000
rows, 4 for a 1060-block graph), so a batch endpoint would save single-digit ms
on flows costing hundreds. The largest single operation in the app -- decompiling
a 17KB function -- is 10806ms here and 10723ms on the worker: pure Hex-Rays,
0.8% apart, no transport in it.

Two changes, both about work that was never ours to do, found by profiling the
A/B benchmark rather than guessing.
1. Serialise inside the database process.
Code Mode runs to_jsonable() over whatever a snippet returns, walking the
entire structure to make it JSON-safe. Our answers are already JSON-safe and
they are large: a 200-row listing page is ~10k small objects, and walking
them cost 66ms of the page's 92ms -- 114x what json.dumps of the very same
data costs (0.58ms). Snippets now return one pre-serialised string, so that
walk is O(1) and the client parses a payload it was going to parse anyway.
heads(200): 92ms -> 24.7ms.
2. Detach the runtime's trace hook while our snippet runs.
ida_codemode.runtime wraps every execute_python in sys.settrace(timeout_trace)
to enforce deadlines, and timeout_trace RETURNS ITSELF -- which switches on
LINE tracing in every frame it sees. Every line of every function we call
pays a Python-level callback. Measured here:
ida_bytes.get_flags 0.106us untraced 5.49us traced 52x
(plain idalib, no Code Mode: 0.119us -- i.e. untraced == native)
heads(200 rows) 2.0ms untraced 20.2ms traced 10x
That one hook was the entire residual gap against the old unix-socket worker.
The snippet now detaches it and restores it in a finally.
What that gives up, stated plainly: the deadline is no longer enforced for a
pure-Python loop inside our snippet. The runtime's other cancellation path --
a threading.Timer calling ida_kernwin.set_cancelled() -- does not go through
the trace and still fires, so a long IDA operation remains interruptible, and
every operation here is bounded by its own count/limit argument. Set
IDATUI_CODEMODE_TRACE=1 to keep the stock behaviour.
Against the worker backend, same box, targets/echo (worker -> codemode):
heads_200 2.65ms -> 5.85ms 2.2x (was 35x)
heads_500 6.21ms -> 10.67ms 1.7x
heads expect-hit 2.16ms -> 4.61ms 2.1x
disasm_200 9.03ms -> 5.25ms 0.6x faster
decompile_cold 162.62ms -> 30.66ms 0.2x faster
decompile_warm 30.02ms -> 25.39ms 0.8x faster
decomp_map 45.82ms -> 47.85ms 1.0x parity
pc_nums 19.90ms -> 22.56ms 1.1x parity
rename_func 254.08ms -> 255.54ms 1.0x parity
connect 550.0ms -> 410.0ms 0.7x faster
What is left is the transport floor: an empty execute_python round trip is
2.0ms, so trivial calls (data_type 0.07ms -> 2.63ms, force_recompile, a single
xref query) look like 40x while being 2.5ms of wall clock. Reducing those needs
fewer calls, not faster ones -- the digest/expect path already does that for the
listing, which is where call volume actually is.
Full suite: 788 passed, 0 failed, 115.3s (was 146.3s; the pilot alone went
80.9s -> 62.2s).

The suite went from ~9m20s (with thumb_ui crashing and rawimage_rpc failing) to
146s, 788 passed / 0 failed, without deleting a single check. Every second of
that came from four mistakes, all of which will be made again by the next person
who does not know about them, so they are written down next to the commands:
1. waiting on a signal that can no longer happen (model-identity gates, after
edits were changed to keep the listing's walk) -- 30s in blob_ui, 4x60s in
thumb_ui, each followed by a check that then passed vacuously;
2. waiting on a signal that is set too early (app._t is assigned before the
navigation it starts) -- a race master's millisecond backend won and Code
Mode's loses;
3. regenerating a fixture with os.urandom into a temp dir, so the pristine
database cache could never apply;
4. deleting a database and reopening the same path, which races the lease of
the worker that still owns it.
It also records the per-suite timings, which suite owns which behaviour (batch
rename lives ONLY in test_rawimage_rpc -- four full pilot runs missed that bug),
and two harness traps: `bgrun run` blocks the agent's tool call unless launched
with setsid and all three fds redirected, and `pkill -f` matches the agent's own
command line and kills the shell issuing it.
Force-added over the .gitignore entry: this is the kind of thing that is worth
more to the next reader than it costs in repo noise. Drop the file and the
ignore rule together if that judgement is wrong.

"the code view follows the trace" failed on the port (None vs 0x2ae4) and
passed on master, but it was not a trace regression: the test pressed "]",
waited for `app._t == 1`, and then read the listing cursor. `app._t` is
assigned the moment the key is handled -- the navigation it starts runs in a
worker -- so the wait was satisfied before the view had moved, and the check
read a cursor that had no address yet.
Master won that race because its backend answers in single-digit milliseconds.
The Code Mode backend is slower, so the race became a reliable failure. The
gate is now the condition the check is about (the cursor is on the trace's ip),
for both the forward and the backward step.
39 passed, 0 failed -- the same tally as master.

It was not slow because ARM analysis is slow. It was slow because it fought
Code Mode's ownership model and then waited out timeouts for the result.
The suite deleted <fixture>.i64 and REOPENED THE SAME PATH before each of its
four phases. That was safe when the TUI owned a private worker that died with
it. Under Code Mode the database is leased, and the previous phase's managed
worker can still hold it through its lease grace -- so the delete raced a live
owner, the next open never produced a listing, and the suite died on
`lst.model.index_of_ea(0)` with model=None after burning minutes in waits whose
results were never checked. Each phase now gets its own temp copy: separate
paths cannot collide and nothing waits for anyone to let go. This is the same
hazard docs/CODEMODE_PORT.md flags -- sweeping files that another client may
own -- showing up in the test suite rather than in the app.
Also replaced four `wait(lambda: lst.model is not <old>, ..., 60)` gates. An
item edit now keeps the listing's walk instead of rebuilding it, so the model
object is never replaced and each of those sat out its full 60 seconds while
the suite still reported success. They now settle() on the signal the checks
actually read: the status line announcing Thumb/ARM/64-bit, and the function
appearing in the index.
20 passed, 0 failed (it never reached a tally before).
Verified separately that the four ARM operations the port carried over do work
against a live database: set_thumb, thumb_scan, define_code_run, define_func_run.

Three separate wastes, all of the same family: waiting on a guess instead of a
signal, and paying for work that never had to be repeated.
1. The 64KB blob was built with os.urandom into a fresh TemporaryDirectory on
every run. New bytes at a new path means the pristine-database cache can
never apply, so full auto-analysis of 64KB of AArch64-decoded noise was paid
every single run. It is now built from a seeded PRNG at a stable path
(tests/.synthetic/, gitignored) and staged through the existing cache.
Determinism is also a correctness fix: whether 64KB of chance bytes contains
something IDA reads as a function is luck, and this suite asserts "and really
has no functions".
2. `wait(lambda: lst.model is not old, ..., 30)` after commenting. The perf work
made an item edit KEEP the listing's walk and re-render in place, so the
model object is never replaced and this waited out its full 30s timeout on
every run -- and then "commenting leaves the view where it was" passed
vacuously, because nothing had happened at all. A test that burns 30s to
check nothing is worse than no test.
3. Two `pause(2.0)`/`pause(2.5)` after a carve, replaced with settle() on a real
condition. The second one deliberately has NO predicate: that spot is random
data, so the carve may legitimately produce nothing, and "the row became
code" would never hold -- gating on it cost another 30s timeout. What that
check is about is the VIEW not moving, so the gate is "the app finished
reacting".
Fixing (1) exposed a real bug in the client, fixed here too: reopening a
database that already exists while passing loader switches is FATAL in IDA --
FATAL ERROR: Switch '-b400' can be used only when loading a new file
which kills the worker before it can report anything. Loader switches describe
an IMPORT and are recorded in the database they produce, so they are now sent
only when there is an import to describe. This was never reachable from the old
suite (a fresh random blob never had a database to reopen), but it is reachable
by any user who opens a raw blob with --ida-args twice.
30 passed, 0 failed.

Benchmarking the port against master op-by-op (rather than only asking whether
tests pass) turned up three real bugs, all in the most user-visible path:
opening pseudocode.
1. decompile was doing decomp_map's job. It called the full per-column line
map purely to fill in each line's /*0xEA*/ anchor. The tool ida-tui was
written against takes ONE get_line_item at column 0 per line; the port took
one per COLUMN, i.e. thousands of get_line_item+dstr() calls per function
instead of one per line. Every pseudocode open cost the same as opening the
split view. Carried the real implementation over: 1888ms -> 53ms.
2. decomp_map used the pre-optimisation line map. Ours memoises obj_id -> ea
for the whole function (commit 853d90c: dstr() was 79% of the tool, and
consecutive columns report the same ctree item), the port's did not.
1925ms -> 287ms.
3. _idatui_compact imported ida_pro_mcp on every call. Under Code Mode that
package is not installed in the database process, so the import failed every
time -- and a FAILED import is never cached, so each one re-searched the
whole of sys.path: 422 failed imports per pc_nums call, which was most of
its runtime. 1428ms -> 257ms.
The same bug was a correctness bug hiding behind the perf bug: the fallback
path collapsed whitespace INSIDE string literals, where the real function
preserves it. Pseudocode columns are served in those coordinates, so on any
line containing a string with two spaces, every literal's mark and every
reformat would have been placed on the wrong column. It never fired on
master because ida_pro_mcp is installed there. Now calls the byte-identical
module-level shim directly, with the deviation from the extracted original
documented in place.
Narrow verification: decomp/split_view/opfmt/follow/comment/structs scenarios,
72 passed, 0 failed. Full gate running separately.

Found by tests/test_rawimage_rpc.py, which the earlier runs had not covered:
every rename_many check failed with
{"ok": 0, "failed": 2, "errors": [{"addr": null,
"error": "list indices must be integers or slices, not str"}]}
The port's rename read each category as a single edit (edit["addr"]), but the
batch shape is {func: [{addr,name}, ...], data: [...], local/stack: [...]} --
a list per category, with a single dict accepted as shorthand. Indexing the
list with "addr" raised, and because the whole category was one try block the
error came back attached to addr=null, naming nothing.
That is the entire point of the rename_many RPC verb: a firmware image arrives
with hundreds of names from a loader map or an emulator's symbols.json, and
applying them one at a time costs a navigation plus two prompt round trips
each. Only the single-rename UI path worked.
Now mirrors the real tool: one row per EDIT (addr/old/name plus a per-row
error), a summary counting edits rather than categories, conflict detection
before the write, and dry_run/allow_overwrite/stop_on_error. Renaming a
function refreshes Hex-Rays' ctext, whose cache is per function and persisted
in the .i64 -- without it the pseudocode keeps calling the old name forever
while every other readback reports the new one. Clearing a label with an empty
new name is kept as a real request (the scenarios revert with it) rather than
being rejected as a missing argument.
tests/test_rawimage_rpc.py: 14 passed/7 failed -> 21 passed, 0 failed.

them
This closes the five operations the port was missing and restores the listing's
own tooling instead of a re-implementation of it.
idatui/remote_tools.py is the port's IDAPython island: `heads` (the continuous
listing) and `op_format`/`pc_nums`/`pc_num_format` (`o`/`O`), extracted verbatim
from the BODY that server/patch_server.py used to inject. They are real, diffable
source shipped to the database process as text, not string literals, because this
is the most performance-tuned and behaviour-sensitive code in the project.
Why carry `heads` over rather than keep the port's version: the port's rewrite
emitted no per-operand extents ("ops"), so no keypress could show which literal
it would reformat (opfmt_highlight had no two-operand row to find); it had no
digest/`expect` support, so every page was re-sent after any edit; and its span
walk was the per-character loop ours had already been rewritten out of. It also
dropped struct-member expansion sizing and the func banner/label rows' exact
shapes.
The library is installed ONCE per database process (sys.modules, keyed by a hash
of the source) and then called by name. Code Mode's execute_python builds a fresh
namespace per call, so a library exec'd inline is rebuilt every time and its
module-level caches thrown away -- the per-line render lru_cache in particular,
which the perf work sized to 65536 entries. Installing it once took `heads`
count=200 from 181ms to 92ms; the cache reports 211 hits on a second call where
it previously reported none. (Extraction footgun recorded: ast FunctionDef.lineno
points at `def`, not at the decorators, so a naive slice silently drops
@lru_cache.)
Also ported: flowchart, survey_binary, and the xref contract.
Live pilot suite on targets/echo: 301 passed, 0 failed -- identical to master.
Known, quantified, and NOT fixed here: Code Mode's transport is much slower than
the unix-socket worker for the listing's paging. heads count=200 is 2.6ms on
master vs 92ms here, count=500 is 6.3ms vs 214ms. Roughly half of that is
to_jsonable + HTTP framing per call and is inherent to the architecture; the
empty round trip alone is 2ms. The digest/`expect` path (unchanged pages) is the
main mitigation and is restored.

The pseudocode follow's address fallback broke: following a call landed on the
NEXT LINE instead of the callee (decomp_nav's stale-name check, cur=0x20dd
want=0x2060). The port's xref_query returned rows in raw IDA order, and at a
call site IDA yields the ordinary-flow xref (fl_F, the next instruction) before
the call xref (fl_CN), so 'first code xref' picked the fall-through.
The tool ida-tui was written against sorts rows by the far-end address and
dedups by default; sorted, 0x2060 precedes 0x210e and the follow is correct.
That ordering is load-bearing, so it is now part of the port rather than an
accident of the old implementation. Also fixed: the port attached 'fn' to
ref.from_ea for both directions, where a from-xref must describe its TARGET
(the xref dialog shows the wrong function otherwise), and the envelope was
missing direction/addr/total/next_offset/resolved_addr.
xref_types (ours, the kind badges in the xref dialog) is ported verbatim and
deliberately stays UNsorted -- that dialog lists xrefs in IDA's own order.
decomp_nav, follow_xrefs, xref_labels, decomp_follow_self: 15 passed, 0 failed.

Verified live now: ida-codemode 0.3.1 spawns a managed idalib worker on this
box, so the pilot suite runs against the port.
flowchart: the port simply does not have the operation, so domain.get_flowchart
returned None and every graph key reported 'no control-flow graph for this
function'. Ported ours onto ida_gdl (ida-domain exposes no basic-block or
edge-kind surface). Blocks stay address RANGES, never text -- that is what lets
graph boxes reuse the listing's own rows. Graph suite: 0 -> 50 passed.
set_comments: the port set only the disassembly comment via
db.comments.set_at(), so a comment never appeared in the pseudocode. A Hex-Rays
comment is anchored to a ctree location and an anchor the ctree does not own is
discarded as an orphan, so the itp slot must be searched until one sticks, and
the entry ea is a function comment instead. Ported that logic back.
survey_binary: added as the (caught) fallback domain.py expects behind
file_regions, so the fallback path is real rather than always empty.

signature
ida-codemode is now cloned at ../ida-codemode (0.3.1) and installed into
~/ida-venv, so the adapter can be checked against the library instead of
against assumptions.
First thing it found: connect() passed loading_address=, which
DatabaseHandle.open() does not have. The real parameter is image_base, and it
already wants the natural 16-byte-aligned address we compute, so this is a
rename. Every connect would have died with TypeError on the first call.
The port's own contract test could not catch it: its fake handle takes
**kwargs, so any keyword at all looks accepted. The test now also validates
the keywords we send against inspect.signature(DatabaseHandle.open) when the
library is importable, and skips that one check when it is not.
Offline suite: 302 passed with the library installed, 302 without it.

Mechanical part of the port: the 27-file patch was cut against a base ~148
commits behind us, so it did not apply. Resolved 11 conflicts (all of them
diff drift, not semantic clashes) and the three file deletions:
- app.py: the patch re-inserted _do_rename/_do_name_addr/_seek_split etc. as
"theirs" because our tree moved them to edit_ctl.py/trace_ctl.py. Kept ours
and applied the real intent (WorkerClient->CodeModeClient, .call->.invoke,
_open_worker_client->_open_database_client) at their current homes.
- domain.py: kept Head as a NamedTuple -- the patch reverted it to a frozen
dataclass, which the perf work measured at 2.9us vs 1.9us per row on a
quarter-million-row walk. Dropped _fetch_output (no download_url under Code
Mode) and its now-dead urllib/json imports.
- pane.py: the patch's deletion swallowed our zellij support along with the
worker-reaping block it meant to remove. Kept zellij, removed the reaping.
- test_scenarios.py: the idb_save->save_database teardown hunk belongs to
tests/_fixtures.py in our tree; applied it there and kept our pc_num_format
scenario that the drift landed on.
Three defects in the patch itself, fixed here:
- It made "import idatui" hard-require ida_codemode, so every offline suite
died at import -- including the pure ones (graph/index/trace) that are the
house rule for "tests/run.py --fast". The import is now deferred and gated
on the binding, which is also what lets the port's own contract tests
inject a fake DatabaseHandle.
- project.stage() inlined an ida_codemode.registry import and treated "library
not installed" as "someone owns this database", which broke IDA-free project
staging. Ownership lookup moved to codemode_client.database_owner().
- tests/test_codemode_client.py had no NEEDS_IDA marker, which tests/run.py
rejects outright.
Offline suite: 301 passed, 0 failed. Against master's 344 the whole delta is
accounted for: -40 worker_client (module deleted), -18 launch sweep checks
(behaviour deliberately removed) +3 guarding that it stays removed, +2 pool
(GUI-save semantics), +13 new codemode_client contract tests.
NOT yet done, and the port is not functional without it: the adapter is
missing five operations our tree grew since the patch's base (flowchart,
op_format, pc_nums, pc_num_format, survey_binary) and its "heads" predates
back-walking and digest/expect.

Two core dumps were swept into 7e4b593 by an 'add -A' commit. idalib segfaults
readily under differential probing (running two revisions of a tool against one
cfunc drops two SWIG item objects on the same ctree), so this will recur.

spot a counter-drift outlier
pc_nums allocated three ctree_item_t SWIG objects per candidate column -- the
third instance of the same fault already fixed in decomp_map and found in
decompile_function_safe. 1247 -> 614ms warm over 18991 lines of bash, identical
literal counts, 0 mismatches over echo's 128 functions.
Both it and the fast decompile_function_safe are parked rather than applied:
together they are worth ~350ms against a run-to-run spread of ~500ms on this
box (means 25045 with, 25140 without over seven runs), so the benchmark cannot
resolve them. Neither adds complexity -- both remove allocations -- so they are
kept on disk with their measurements for a per-operation-latency goal.
Also records the 27283ms outlier: the work counters moved with it, which is how
an outlier is told from a regression.

comparing against the previous column. dstr() was 79% of the tool (24us a call) and items interleave, so foo(a, b) flips call->arg->call and re-formatted an item already seen: 106594 calls for 15417 lines of bash. Also corrects run #30's claim that the duplicate ida_hexrays.decompile is what costs -- a warm decompile is 0.01ms.

the same flaw the graph phase had: decompile, search and the function index all cache their answer, so a second rep reported a dict lookup under the name of the thing a user waits for. Cold-sensitive phases (listing_cold, decomp, search, index) now run ONCE; repeatable ones (render, hex, graph, listing_warm) run every rep and take the median. pure_graph is median-of-3.
