A Code Graph Disintegrates Your Code. A Verifiable IR Preserves It.

A code graph takes a whole, coherent program and shreds it into a bag of symbols and edges. It is genuinely useful, but it is a teardown, and the meaning never survives the pieces. A verifiable intermediate representation is the opposite move. It lifts your code into a higher layer that keeps the intent intact, then checks every change against it. Here is the difference between shredding and preserving, and why it decides everything downstream.

Code Graph RAG, Explained, and Why a Verifiable IR Is the Next Step Past It

Code graph RAG fixed the biggest flaw in vector search. It follows real edges instead of guessing at similarity. But a graph of symbols is still not a graph of meaning, and it cannot tell you whether a change still does what the system is supposed to do. Here is how code graph RAG actually works, where it stops, and why a verifiable intermediate representation is the layer above it.

From Code Graph to Context Graph: Why a Graph of Symbols Isn't a Graph of Meaning

Everyone building code intelligence ends up at a graph, and then they start calling it a context graph because plain code graph stopped feeling like enough. But adding the word context does not add meaning. A graph of symbols and a graph of meaning are different objects. Here is the line between them, and why crossing it requires a verifiable code IR, not more edges.

GraphRAG for Codebases: What It Solves, Where It Breaks, and the Layer Above It

GraphRAG for codebases is a genuine step up from vector search. It follows real call edges instead of guessing at similarity, and it wins on architectural questions. But it breaks in three predictable places: cross-repo links that aren't call edges, the why behind the code, and anything that needs intent you can check changes against. Here is a clear-eyed map of what graph RAG for codebases solves, where it stops, and the verifiable context layer that sits above it.
