Conversation
`path query` loads every step in the local cache into one JSON array and
transforms it with an in-process jaq (pure-Rust jq) filter — selection,
projection, ranking, grouping, and top-N are all jaq. Each array element
wraps a Toolpath step (step/change/meta verbatim) with `cache_id`, `path`
(the parent path's id/base/meta), and `dead_end` (off the head's ancestry).
Scope flags choose which docs load: `--source`/`--id`/`--input` (file
selection) and `--project`/`--kind` (content scoping, semver-prefix kind
match). Output mirrors jq: pretty on a TTY, compact when piped (`-c`), raw
strings with `-r`. Malformed cache docs are skipped with a stderr warning;
empty results exit 0, filter errors exit 1.
`path kind` is the cold-start companion: lists the bundled kind specs, or
prints a kind's schema.json (the field reference for writing filters).
`--kind` and `path kind` share one semver-prefix selector, sourced from a
new shared `kinds` module that `schema.rs` now also reads.
BREAKING (pre-1.0): the former `path query` subcommands change. `ancestors`
moves to `path p query ancestors`; `dead-ends`/`filter` become jaq forms
(`map(select(.dead_end))`, `map(select(.step.actor | startswith("agent:")))`).
path-cli 0.14.0 -> 0.15.0; adds jaq-core/jaq-std/jaq-json.

…ache `path query` no longer loads every cached step into one array up front. The executor reads the filter — it parses the jaq into jaq's own AST and picks an execution plan: - **PerFileStream** — element-wise filters (`.[] | g`, distributive for any g) run per document and print as they go; nothing accumulates. - **Decompose** — algebraic aggregations run the filter per file, concatenate the per-file outputs, then run a derived combine over them: `map` → `add`, top-N `sort_by(k) | .[:N]` → `add | sort_by(k) | .[:N]`, `length`/`add` → `add`, `min`/`max` → themselves. A global top-N is a subset of the per-file top-Ns, so the merge is exact and bounded (files × N). - **Slurp** — the always-correct fallback for anything not provably decomposable (`group_by`, `unique`, `as`-bindings, `reduce`, …). Still lean: values are held once, with no whole-cache byte buffer. Recognition is conservative (a non-distributive prefix such as `unique` before a top-N slurps), so the planner never changes an answer. Unit tests assert the streamed output equals the slurp output byte-for-byte across element-wise, top-N, and scalar-reduction filters; integration tests confirm cross-file top-N and sums end to end. `TOOLPATH_QUERY_EXPLAIN=1` prints the chosen plan to stderr. No user-facing flag — it's automatic.

path query— loads every step in the local cache into one JSON array and transforms it with an in-process jaq (pure-Rust jq) filter (selection, projection, ranking, grouping, top-N). Each element wraps a Toolpath step (step/change/metaverbatim) withcache_id,path, anddead_end. Scope flags pick which docs load (--source/--id/--input,--project/--kind); output mirrors jq (-ccompact,-rraw).Also adds
path kind— the cold-start companion that lists bundled kind specs or prints a kind'sschema.json(the field reference for writing filters).Full design and rationale:
