+### Detailed Sequence Diagrams
+
+#### LSP Integration Flow
+
+The following diagram shows how LSP requests (hover, definition, references) flow through the system:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Client as MCP Client
+    participant Server as MCP Server
+    participant LSPMgr as LSP Manager
+    participant LSPSrv as LSP Server (gopls/etc)
+    participant FS as File System
+    
+    Client->>Server: symbol_at(file, line, col)
+    activate Server
+    
+    Server->>LSPMgr: GetServer(language)
+    activate LSPMgr
+    
+    alt Server Not Running
+        LSPMgr->>LSPSrv: Start Process
+        LSPMgr->>LSPSrv: initialize request
+        LSPSrv-->>LSPMgr: capabilities
+        LSPMgr->>LSPSrv: initialized notification

+    LSPMgr-->>Server: ready
+    deactivate LSPMgr
+    
+    Server->>LSPSrv: textDocument/hover

+    LSPSrv-->>Server: HoverResult
+    deactivate LSPSrv
+    
+    Server-->>Client: Symbol information
+    deactivate Server
+```
+
+#### Edit Operation Flow
+
+The edit engine uses atomic writes and validation to ensure safe file modifications:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Client as MCP Client
+    participant Server as MCP Server
+    participant Edit as Edit Engine
+    participant Parser as Parser Registry
+    participant FS as File System
+    
+    Client->>Server: edit_apply(file, operation, selector, content)
+    activate Server
+    
+    Server->>Edit: Apply(ctx, edit)
+    activate Edit
+    
+    Edit->>Edit: lockFile(path)
+    Note over Edit: Per-file mutex prevents<br/>concurrent edits
+    
+    Edit->>FS: ReadFile(path)
+    FS-->>Edit: original content
+    
+    alt AST-Aware Mode (code files)
+        Edit->>Parser: Parse(ctx, path, content)
+        activate Parser
+        Parser-->>Edit: ParseResult with AST
+        deactivate Parser
+        
+        Edit->>Edit: resolveSelector(selector, tree)
+        Note over Edit: Find target node by<br/>kind, name, line, index
+        
+        Edit->>Edit: applyEdit(operation, node, content)
+        Note over Edit: Apply replace/insert/delete<br/>with indentation preservation
+        
+        Edit->>Parser: Parse(ctx, path, newContent)
+        activate Parser
+        Parser-->>Edit: Validate syntax
+        deactivate Parser
+        
+        alt Syntax Error
+            Edit-->>Server: ValidationError
+            Server-->>Client: Error: invalid syntax
+        end
+    else Text Mode (non-code files)
+        Edit->>Edit: resolveTextSelector(selector)
+        Note over Edit: Find by text, pattern,<br/>or line range
+        
+        Edit->>Edit: applyTextEditOperation
+    end
+    
+    Edit->>Edit: generateDiff(original, new)
+    
+    Edit->>FS: Stat(path) - get permissions
+    Edit->>FS: WriteFile(path, content, perm)
+    Note over Edit,FS: Atomic write preserves<br/>original permissions
+    
+    Edit->>Edit: unlockFile(path)
+    
+    Edit-->>Server: EditResult{Success, Diff}
+    deactivate Edit
+    
+    Server-->>Client: Success + Diff
+    deactivate Server
+```
+
+#### Parse and Cache Flow
+
+The parser uses content-based caching for efficient AST reuse:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Client as MCP Client
+    participant Server as MCP Server
+    participant Parser as Parser Registry
+    participant Cache as LRU Cache
+    participant TS as Tree-sitter
+    
+    Client->>Server: file_read(path, include_ast=true)
+    activate Server
+    
+    Server->>Parser: Parse(ctx, path, content)
+    activate Parser
+    
+    Parser->>Parser: contentHash(content)
+    Note over Parser: xxHash64 for fast<br/>content fingerprinting
+    
+    Parser->>Cache: Get(hash)
+    activate Cache
+    
+    alt Cache Hit
+        Cache-->>Parser: CachedTree
+        Parser->>Parser: cacheHits++
+        Note over Parser: ~100x faster than parsing
+    else Cache Miss
+        Cache-->>Parser: nil
+        deactivate Cache
+        Parser->>Parser: cacheMisses++
+        
+        Parser->>Parser: GetParser(language)
+        Note over Parser: One parser per language,<br/>reused across requests
+        
+        Parser->>TS: ParseCtx(ctx, content)
+        activate TS
+        Note over TS: Tree-sitter parsing<br/>with timeout support
+        TS-->>Parser: *sitter.Tree
+        deactivate TS
+        
+        Parser->>Cache: Add(hash, tree)
+        activate Cache
+        Note over Cache: LRU eviction when<br/>capacity reached (100 entries)
+        Cache-->>Parser: stored
+        deactivate Cache
+    end
+    
+    Parser->>Parser: extractErrors(tree)
+    Parser->>Parser: ExtractSymbols(tree)
+    
+    Parser-->>Server: ParseResult{Tree, Language, Errors, Symbols}
+    deactivate Parser
+    
+    Server->>Server: generateASTSummary()
+    Server-->>Client: File content + Symbol summary

+
+**Examples:**
+
+```json
+{"path": "server.go", "include_ast": true}
+```
+
+```json
+{"path": "server.go", "include_ast": true, "symbols_only": true}
+```
+
+```json

+{"pattern": "func $NAME($$$ARGS) error", "language": "go"}
+```
+
+```json
+{"pattern": "class $NAME: $$$BODY", "language": "python"}
+```
+
+```json
+{"pattern": "function $NAME($PROPS) { $$$BODY }", "language": "javascript", "name_matches": "^[A-Z]"}
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- $NAME captures identifiers
+- $$$ARGS captures multiple items (parameters, body, etc.)
+- $_ is a wildcard that matches but doesn't capture
+- Powered by Tree-sitter for accurate AST parsing
+
+---

+```
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- Returns a diff showing proposed changes
+- Does not modify the file
+- Use to validate changes before applying
+
+---
+
+#### `edit_apply`
+
+Apply an edit to a file. Uses AST-aware editing for code files (Go, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C, C++) with syntax validation, and text-based editing for other files (Markdown, JSON, YAML, config files, etc.).
+
+⚠️ **Modifies files**: This tool writes to the filesystem.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+| Name | Type | Required | Description |
+|------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `file` | `string` | **Yes** | Path to the file to edit |
+| `operation` | `string` | **Yes** | Edit operation: replace, insert_before, insert_after, delete |
+| `new_content` | `string` | No | New content (required for replace/insert operations) |
+| `selector_kind` | `string` | No | AST node type to match (e.g., function_declaration, class_declaration). For code files only. |
+| `selector_name` | `string` | No | Name of the symbol to match. For code files only. |
+| `selector_line` | `number` | No | Line number (1-indexed). For AST mode: narrows search. For text mode: start of line range. |
+| `selector_index` | `number` | No | Index of the match to use if multiple matches found (default: 0) |
+| `selector_line_end` | `number` | No | End line number for range selection (text mode). Used with selector_line. |
+| `selector_text` | `string` | No | Exact text to match (text mode). Must be unique or use selector_index. |
+| `selector_pattern` | `string` | No | Regex pattern to match (text mode). Must be unique or use selector_index. |
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```json
+{"file": "server.go", "operation": "replace", "selector_kind": "function_declaration", "selector_name": "Hello", "new_content": "func Hello() {\\n\\tprintln(\\"Updated\\")\\n}"}
+```
+
+```json
+{"file": "config.yaml", "operation": "replace", "selector_line": 5, "selector_line_end": 10, "new_content": "database:\\n  host: production.db.example.com\\n  port: 5432"}
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- For code files: validates syntax before and after edit
+- Preserves file permissions
+- Uses atomic writes for safety
+- File locking prevents concurrent edits

+## Parser Cache Configuration
+
+The parser cache is critical for performance as it avoids re-parsing files that haven't changed.
+
+### How the Cache Works
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                      Parse Request                          │
+│                    (file, content)                          │
+└─────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────┘
+                          │
+                          ▼
+               ┌──────────────────────┐
+               │  Content Hash Check  │
+               │    (xxHash64)        │
+               └──────────┬───────────┘
+                          │
+              ┌───────────┴───────────┐
+              │                       │
+              ▼                       ▼
+        Cache Hit               Cache Miss
+              │                       │
+              ▼                       ▼
+     Return cached tree      Parse with Tree-sitter
+              │                       │
+              │                       ▼
+              │                 Store in LRU cache
+              │                       │
+              └───────────┬───────────┘
+                          │
+                          ▼
+                   Return ParseResult
+```
+
+### Cache Statistics
+
+The parser tracks detailed statistics:
+
+```go
+type CacheStatsResult struct {
+    Hits           int64   // Number of cache hits
+    Misses         int64   // Number of cache misses
+    HitRate        float64 // Ratio of hits to total requests
+    Size           int     // Current number of cached items
+    TotalParseTime int64   // Total time spent parsing (nanoseconds)
+    ParseCount     int64   // Number of parse operations
+    AvgParseTime   int64   // Average parse time (nanoseconds)
+    LastParseTime  int64   // Most recent parse duration
+}
+```
+
+### Cache Configuration
+
+The LRU cache holds up to **100 parsed AST trees** by default. This is sufficient for most development workflows where you interact with a subset of files.
+
+**Cache Key**: xxHash64 of file content (extremely fast, ~5GB/s)
+
+**Eviction Policy**: Least Recently Used (LRU) - when the cache is full, the least recently accessed entry is evicted.
+
+### Optimizing Cache Performance
+
+1. **Batch Related Operations**: When working on related files, perform all operations on one file before moving to the next. This maximizes cache hits.
+
+2. **Monitor Hit Rate**: A healthy cache has >80% hit rate. Lower rates suggest:
+   - Working with too many files simultaneously
+   - Files changing frequently between operations
+
+3. **Cache Invalidation**: The cache is content-based (hash), so modified files automatically get re-parsed.

+| Max Search Results | 1000 | - |
+
+### Configuration
+
+Configure via `.mcp-filepuff.json` in workspace root:
+
+```json
+{
+  "max_file_size": 10485760,
+  "max_parse_size": 10485760,
+  "max_search_results": 1000,
+  "max_edit_size": 102400
+}
+```
+
+### Understanding Limits
+
+**Max File Size (10 MB)**
+- Maximum file size that can be read via `file_read`
+- Prevents memory exhaustion with large files
+- Increase for codebases with large generated files
+
+**Max Parse Size (10 MB)**
+- Maximum file size for AST parsing
+- Tree-sitter parsing memory usage is ~3-5x file size
+- A 10 MB file needs ~30-50 MB RAM for parsing
+
+**Max Edit Size (100 KB)**
+- Maximum size for files being edited
+- Keeps diff generation fast
+- Prevents accidental edits to large generated files
+
+### Token-Efficient Reading
+
+For large files, use token-efficient options:
+
+```json
+// Get only symbol summary (~90-98% token reduction)
+{"path": "large_file.go", "include_ast": true, "symbols_only": true}
+
+// Limit output lines
+{"path": "large_file.go", "max_lines": 50}
+
+// Read specific line range
+{"path": "large_file.go", "line_start": 100, "line_end": 150}
+```

+
+### Server Pool Management
+
+- **Idle Timeout**: 5 minutes (servers closed after inactivity)
+- **Pool Reaper**: Checks every 60 seconds for idle servers
+- **One Server Per Language**: Efficient resource usage
+
+### Optimizing LSP Performance
+
+1. **First Request Latency**: Initial LSP requests are slow due to server startup and project indexing. Subsequent requests are fast.
+
+2. **gopls Optimization**: For Go projects, gopls performance depends on module cache:
+   ```bash
+   # Pre-populate module cache
+   go mod download
+   ```
+
+3. **typescript-language-server**: Ensure `node_modules` is populated:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+4. **clangd**: Requires `compile_commands.json` for best results:
+   ```bash
+   # Generate with CMake
+   cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON .
+   ```
+

+
+## Memory Usage Patterns
+
+### Component Memory Usage
+
+| Component | Memory Pattern | Notes |
+|-----------|---------------|-------|
+| Parser Registry | Per-language parsers | ~5-10 MB per language |
+| AST Cache | LRU, 100 entries max | ~50-200 MB typically |
+| LSP Servers | External processes | ~100-500 MB per server |
+| Search (ripgrep) | Streaming | Minimal memory |
+| Edit Engine | Per-operation | Proportional to file size |
+
+### Memory Calculation Example
+
+For a typical Go project:
+
+```
+Base Server:           ~20 MB
+Go Parser:             ~10 MB
+AST Cache (50 files):  ~100 MB
+gopls:                 ~300 MB
+────────────────────────────────
+Total:                 ~430 MB
+```
+
+### Reducing Memory Usage
+
+1. **Disable LSP**: If you don't need go-to-definition/references:
+   ```bash
+   export MCP_ENABLE_LSP="false"
+   ```
+   This saves ~100-500 MB per language server.
+
+2. **Reduce Cache Size**: For memory-constrained environments, you can recompile with a smaller cache size (requires code change).
+
+3. **Close Idle Servers**: LSP servers are automatically closed after 5 minutes of inactivity.

+
+## Benchmarking
+
+### Running Benchmarks
+
+The project includes comprehensive benchmarks:
+
+```bash
+# Run all benchmarks
+go test -bench=. ./...
+
+# Run parser benchmarks with memory stats
+go test -bench=. -benchmem ./internal/parser/...
+
+# Run with specific count for stability
+go test -bench=. -count=5 ./internal/parser/...
+```
+
+### Available Benchmarks
+
+**Parser Benchmarks** (`internal/parser/parser_bench_test.go`):
+- `BenchmarkParseGo` - Go file parsing
+- `BenchmarkParseTypeScript` - TypeScript file parsing
+- `BenchmarkParsePython` - Python file parsing
+- `BenchmarkParseC` - C file parsing
+- `BenchmarkParseCpp` - C++ file parsing
+- `BenchmarkCacheHit` - Cache hit performance
+- `BenchmarkCacheMiss` - Cache miss performance
+- `BenchmarkContentHash` - xxHash performance
+- `BenchmarkExtractSymbols` - Symbol extraction
+
+### Expected Performance
+
+Typical benchmark results (M1 Mac):
+
+```
+BenchmarkParseGo-8           5000    220000 ns/op    45000 B/op    850 allocs/op
+BenchmarkParseTypeScript-8   3000    380000 ns/op    62000 B/op   1200 allocs/op
+BenchmarkCacheHit-8        500000      2400 ns/op      128 B/op      3 allocs/op
+BenchmarkContentHash-8    2000000       600 ns/op        0 B/op      0 allocs/op
+```
+
+Key observations:
+- Cache hits are **~100x faster** than cache misses
+- Content hashing is extremely fast (xxHash64)
+- Parsing speed varies by language complexity
+
+### Profiling
+
+```bash
+# CPU profiling
+go test -bench=BenchmarkParseGo -cpuprofile=cpu.prof ./internal/parser/...
+go tool pprof cpu.prof
+
+# Memory profiling
+go test -bench=BenchmarkParseGo -memprofile=mem.prof ./internal/parser/...
+go tool pprof mem.prof
+
+# Generate flame graph (requires pprof)
+go tool pprof -http=:8080 cpu.prof
+```
+
+---
+
+## Production Recommendations
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Essential configuration
+export MCP_WORKSPACE_ROOT="/path/to/workspace"
+export MCP_LSP_TIMEOUT="5m"
+export MCP_SEARCH_TIMEOUT="30s"
+export MCP_ENABLE_LSP="true"
+
+# Optional optimizations
+export MCP_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS="true"
+export MCP_RESPECT_GITIGNORE="true"
+```
+
+### Logging Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Development
+./mcp-filepuff -log-level debug -log-file /tmp/mcp-filepuff.log
+
+# Production (minimal logging)
+./mcp-filepuff -log-level warn
+```
+
+### Health Monitoring
+
+Use the `ping` tool to verify server health:
+
+```json
+{"tool": "ping"}
+```
+
+Expected response: `"pong"`
+
+### Performance Checklist
+
+- [ ] Language servers installed and in PATH
+- [ ] Project initialized (go.mod, package.json, etc.)
+- [ ] Reasonable file size limits for your codebase
+- [ ] LSP timeout appropriate for project size
+- [ ] Adequate system memory (recommend 2+ GB free)
+
+### Troubleshooting Slow Performance
+
+1. **Slow Initial Operations**
+   - LSP servers need to index project
+   - Wait for initial indexing to complete
+   - Check LSP server logs for progress
+
+2. **Slow Search**
+   - Check for overly broad patterns
+   - Exclude large directories (node_modules, vendor)
+   - Verify .gitignore is respected
+
+3. **High Memory Usage**
+   - Disable unused LSP servers
+   - Check for memory leaks in language servers
+   - Monitor cache size
+
+4. **Timeouts**
+   - Increase timeout values
+   - Check for I/O bottlenecks
+   - Verify network filesystems are responsive
