 # CBM Lens Beta README captures
 
-These are screenshots and browser recordings of the application, captured on 12–13 October 2026. The application data and text were not retouched. Bernhard Jackiewicz captured the recordings and PNG stills on 12 October. The Explorer and Galaxy JPEG stills were refreshed on 13 October. One addition is drawn on top of the recordings: a small mouse pointer and click ring, because a headless browser shows no pointer of its own.
+These are screenshots and browser recordings of the real application using public source from this repository. The application data and text were not retouched. The GIFs were refreshed on 20 October 2026; the still images preserve the earlier captures from 12–13 October.
 
-## Original captures: 12 October
+## High-resolution recordings: 20 October
 
 - Repository: [DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp](https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp)
-- Branch: `main`, after [PR #2068](https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp/pull/2068) brought CBM Lens Beta in
-- Commit: `4d9592b5`
-- Build: `scripts/build.sh --with-ui`
-- Browser: headless Chromium (Playwright) on macOS, English locale, viewport 1440 × 900, device scale factor 1
-- Agents: standard build, experimental agent activity disabled
+- Source commit: `4cf44147e639ae070ee44d9230244bfb9d9676e0`
+- Build: `make -f Makefile.cbm cbm-with-ui`, with the standard frontend and experimental agent activity disabled
+- Capture: built-in browser screenshots on macOS, English locale, native viewport **1600 × 1000**, **12 frames per second**
+- Encoding: JPEG screenshot frames converted to GIF with one 256-color palette per recording, no dithering, infinite looping; no upscaling, sharpening or pointer overlays
 
-The `v0.0.1` label in the application is the frontend package version. It is not the backend release version.
+The `v0.0.1` label is the frontend package version, not the backend release version. Standard native releases include Lens; using a source build for these recordings is a capture-provenance detail, not an installation requirement.
 
-### Data shown
+### Data and interaction
 
-The project `codebase-memory-mcp` is an export of the same public commit (`git archive`), indexed in `full` mode into an isolated local cache. No private repository was used. Because the export has no `.git` folder, Explore reports "Git unavailable" in its file impact line.
+The project `codebase-memory-mcp` is a clean `git archive` export of the source commit, indexed in `full` mode into an isolated local cache. No private repository was used. Because the export has no `.git` folder, the interface reports "Git unavailable" where applicable.
 
-The index reported 75,037 nodes and 361,349 edges. These are properties of this source scope, not a benchmark. The interface keeps its coverage and display-limit notices.
+The index reported 81,190 nodes and 411,072 edges. These counts describe this source scope, not a benchmark or proof of complete repository coverage. The interface retains its coverage and display-limit notices. The clips join recorded interaction segments with pauses shortened between them; their displayed application states and answers are unchanged. Directional pulses represent indexed relationships, not observed execution.
 
-## Refreshed stills: 13 October
+| Recording | Duration | What it shows |
+|-----------|----------|---------------|
+| [lens-overview.gif](lens-overview.gif) | 12.5 seconds | Architecture overview, opening `src/foundation`, browsing its files, selecting `arena.c` and reading its source beside the map. |
+| [lens-galaxy.gif](lens-galaxy.gif) | 12 seconds | Expanding outgoing relationships around `cbm_arena_alloc`, switching to the hierarchy and tracing the two-hop call path `cbm_arena_alloc → arena_grow → cbm_alloc`. |
+| [lens-chat.gif](lens-chat.gif) | 11.5 seconds | `arena_grow` selected in Galaxy, with caller and callee questions answered directly from the indexed graph. |
 
-`lens-explore.jpg` and `lens-galaxy.jpg` are unedited browser captures at 1280 × 720 from the locally served CBM Lens Beta UI. The running binary reports `dev`; its exact build commit is unavailable, so these captures do not certify an exact source revision. The local project is named `cbm-triage-main-20260919`; the screenshots show public CBM source and indexed relationships.
+All three GIFs are 1600 × 1000. Their frames and playback duration were decoded and checked after export. README and website use these same files.
+
+### Local chat check
+
+The optional Qwen2.5 Coder 0.5B model was downloaded and loaded through the application's own setup. Automatic explanations were disabled for this recording. Both displayed answers are deterministic graph answers, labelled "Listed from the indexed graph; not generated by the model." The clip shows one incoming `CALLS` relationship from `cbm_arena_alloc` and two outgoing `CALLS` relationships to `cbm_alloc` and `cbm_free`, alongside the other indexed relationship types. It does not demonstrate model-generated prose.
 
-- **Explore:** `src/foundation/limits.c`, its compact file impact summary and direct dependencies (24 nodes, 26 edges). The UI's freshness, sampling and coverage caveats remain visible.
-- **Galaxy:** `cbm_max_file_bytes`, both directions, all edge types, two layers (160 nodes, 218 edges).
+## Original still images: 12 October
 
-These counts describe the displayed index snapshot, not a benchmark or proof of complete repository coverage. The original recordings and other stills are unchanged.
+Bernhard Jackiewicz captured the PNG stills on 12 October 2026, from commit `4d9592b5` on `main` after [PR #2068](https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp/pull/2068). The build used `scripts/build.sh --with-ui`; headless Chromium on macOS used English locale, a 1440 × 900 viewport and device scale factor 1. Experimental agent activity was disabled.
 
-## Media
+The indexed project was a public `git archive` export of that commit in `full` mode, with 75,037 nodes and 361,349 edges. The PNG stills are 1440 × 900, except the chat still at 1440 × 1200 so the explanation and answer fit together. These are historical application views, also used as reduced-motion alternatives on the website; they are not extracted from the new GIFs.
 
-| File | What it shows |
-|------|---------------|
-| [lens-overview.gif](lens-overview.gif) | Architecture overview of the repository: zoom and a small orbit, selecting `src/pipeline`, opening that area, selecting `artifact.c` and opening its source. |
-| [lens-architecture.png](lens-architecture.png) | Still image of the whole repository on the architecture map. |
-| [lens-galaxy.gif](lens-galaxy.gif) | Galaxy: searching `cbm_pipeline_run`, following its outgoing calls one layer further, the hierarchy view and the path to `cbm_store_check_integrity`. |
-| [lens-galaxy.jpg](lens-galaxy.jpg) | Two dependency layers around `cbm_max_file_bytes`, with direction and edge-type controls. |
-| [lens-explore.jpg](lens-explore.jpg) | `src/foundation/limits.c` in the reader with its file impact summary, file tree and direct graph dependencies. |
-| [lens-chat.gif](lens-chat.gif) | The chat with the local Qwen2.5 Coder 0.5B model: the explanation of `cbm_pipeline_pass_doclinks` and "Who calls cbm_pipeline_pass_doclinks?" answered from the graph. |
-| [lens-chat.png](lens-chat.png) | Still image of the same explanation and listed answer. |
-| [lens-system-structure.png](lens-system-structure.png) | Component groups and their dependencies in System structure, `src` selected. |
+| Still | What it shows |
+|-------|---------------|
+| [lens-architecture.png](lens-architecture.png) | The whole repository on the architecture map. |
+| [lens-chat.png](lens-chat.png) | A local model explanation of `cbm_pipeline_pass_doclinks` and a caller answer listed from the graph. |
+| [lens-system-structure.png](lens-system-structure.png) | Component groups and their dependencies in System structure, with `src` selected. |
 | [lens-behavior.png](lens-behavior.png) | Possible direct calls of `compileCards`, with its declaration. |
 
-The recordings were captured as browser video, then encoded as GIF at 960 pixels wide and 10 frames per second with a palette per recording. While a search is typed, the Galaxy briefly shows "No matching indexed nodes." until the index search answers; those frames (under one second) were cut. The original PNG stills are 1440 × 900, the chat still 1440 × 1200 so that the explanation and the answer fit together. The refreshed JPEG stills are 1280 × 720. Directional pulses represent indexed relationships, not observed execution.

-The chat recording uses the actual browser model, downloaded through the application's own setup. The explanation lists the indexed facts and the declaration of the selected function; the one sentence after them was written by the model and is labelled as such. The caller answer is listed from the indexed graph without the model.
