codenav indexes a codebase into a symbol graph and a BM25 search index, then serves navigation, impact analysis and security audits over a single tool surface.

The goal is simple: reuse beats rewrite. Point it at a repository and it surfaces the pattern that already works — with the call-graph and tests to prove it.

Built for speed: embedded storage, no external services, and a scope guard that keeps it indexing exactly one project at a time.
