Mixed iOS + React Native Bridging — Coverage Design

Audience: a Claude agent (or human) continuing this work after #165 landed pure-Objective-C support. Mission: make codegraph's trace / callers / callees / impact / flow-context calls connect end-to-end across cross-language runtime dispatch boundaries that today silently break flows: Swift ↔ Objective-C in mixed iOS codebases, and JavaScript ↔ native in React Native / Expo apps.

This doc is the plan, not the implementation. No code lands on this branch — only the design, the validation corpus, and the success bar. Coding starts on a follow-up branch per phase.

This work is the next item on the dynamic-dispatch coverage playbook §6 matrix: row "Swift × Objective-C bridging" and a new "React Native bridge" row. Both are resolver patterns (named refs exist on both sides — the bridging rule is deterministic) — not synthesizer patterns. See §3a of the playbook for the reference Django ORM resolver.

---

1. Why this matters (the gap today)

After #165, codegraph indexes Swift, Objective-C, and JavaScript/TypeScript each correctly in isolation. But the value is in cross-language flows — exactly where iOS apps and React Native apps live:

• Mixed iOS app: MyViewController.swift calls imageDownloader.download(url:completion:), which is -[ImageDownloader downloadURL:completion:] in ImageDownloader.m. Today: a trace("MyViewController.viewDidLoad", "downloadURL:completion:") call returns no path. The Swift callsite parses as a call_expression whose selector goes nowhere; the ObjC method exists as a node with no incoming edge. The agent reads both files to reconstruct the bridge.
• React Native app: useEffect(() => NativeModules.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(cb)) in App.js reaches RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(getCurrentPosition:(RCTResponseSenderBlock)cb) in RNCGeolocation.m. Today: the JS callsite has no outgoing edge to the ObjC implementation; the ObjC handler has no incoming edge from JS. impact(getCurrentPosition) (ObjC side) shows no JS callers.
• Expo module: await ExpoCamera.takePictureAsync(options) (JS) reaches AsyncFunction("takePictureAsync") { ... } in ExpoCamera.swift (Expo Modules API). Same break.

In every case a name exists on both sides that an agent or a name-matcher can correlate — Swift's auto-bridged ObjC selector, RCT_EXPORT_METHOD's literal first argument, an Expo Function("name") literal. The fix is a resolver that knows the bridging rules per channel and emits references edges with provenance:'heuristic' and metadata.synthesizedBy:'<channel>'.

The playbook's load-bearing warning applies here harder than usual:

Partial coverage is WORSE than none. Bridging one boundary but not the next reveals a hop the agent then drills + reads to finish. Always close the flow end-to-end and re-measure — never ship a half-bridged flow.

For mixed iOS, this means both directions (Swift→ObjC and ObjC→Swift) and all bridged kinds (methods, properties, init/initializers, protocols) must close before measuring. For React Native, JS→native AND native→JS (RCTEventEmitter, sendEvent) must both close, AND on both the legacy bridge and TurboModules, or apps that mix them will half-bridge.

2. The bridging mechanisms to model

Each row is a separate dispatch channel in the playbook's vocabulary — each gets its own resolver (or synthesizer if no static ref exists), its own validation, its own row in the §6 matrix.

#	Direction	Channel	Mapping rule	Where it lives	Difficulty
1	Swift → ObjC	direct call, ObjC class imported via -Bridging-Header.h	Swift call obj.x(y:z:) ↔ ObjC selector -x:z: (literal mapping, see §3a)	resolver in frameworks/swift-objc.ts	medium
2	ObjC → Swift	@objc exposure	Swift @objc func foo(bar:) ↔ ObjC -fooWithBar: (auto-name); @objc(custom:) overrides	resolver in frameworks/swift-objc.ts	medium
3	Swift ↔ ObjC	property/getter/setter bridging	Swift var name: String ↔ ObjC -name / -setName:	resolver in frameworks/swift-objc.ts	low
4	Swift ↔ ObjC	initializer bridging	Swift init(name:age:) ↔ ObjC -initWithName:age:	resolver in frameworks/swift-objc.ts	low
5	Swift ↔ ObjC	protocol bridging (@objc protocol)	conformance edges across language	resolver in frameworks/swift-objc.ts	medium
6	JS → ObjC (RN legacy bridge)	NativeModules.<Mod>.<fn> ↔ RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(<fn>:...) or RCT_REMAP_METHOD(<jsName>, <selector>:...)	name match keyed by RCT_EXPORT_MODULE() literal on the ObjC side	resolver in frameworks/react-native.ts	medium
7	JS → Java/Kotlin (RN legacy bridge, Android)	NativeModules.<Mod>.<fn> ↔ @ReactMethod annotated method on a ReactContextBaseJavaModule subclass with getName() returning <Mod>	resolver — same shape as #6, JVM side	medium
8	JS ↔ native (RN TurboModules / Codegen)	TurboModuleRegistry.get('Mod') ↔ generated spec interface (NativeMod TS type) ↔ ObjC++/Kotlin impl matching the spec	resolver that reads the spec file as ground truth	hard
9	Native → JS (events)	ObjC [self sendEventWithName:@"x" body:b] (extending RCTEventEmitter) ↔ JS new NativeEventEmitter(NativeModules.Mod).addListener('x', cb)	EventEmitter-style synthesizer (matches existing callback-synthesizer.ts for in-language EventEmitter)	medium
10	JS → native (Expo modules)	JS ExpoX.fn(args) ↔ Swift Function("fn") { ... } or AsyncFunction("fn") { ... } inside a Module subclass with Name("ExpoX")	resolver in frameworks/expo-modules.ts	medium
11	JS → native (Fabric view components)	JS <MyView prop={v}/> ↔ ObjC/Swift RCT_EXPORT_VIEW_PROPERTY(prop, ...) or Codegen view spec	resolver + JSX hop (compose with existing JSX synthesizer)	hard (defer)

The Difficulty column drives phasing — see §6.

2a. Why these are resolvers, not synthesizers

In every row, the bridging rule is deterministic from a name:

• Swift's @objc exposure is a documented automatic mapping; @objc(custom:) is an explicit override; both are statically extractable.
• RCT_EXPORT_METHOD takes a literal selector; RCT_EXPORT_MODULE() takes an optional literal module name (default: class name minus RCT prefix); NativeModules.Mod.fn is a literal-property access on a known global.
• Expo Modules Function("name") { ... } and Module { Name("ExpoX"); ... } are literal strings inside Module definitions.
• TurboModules spec interfaces are literal Native<Name> exports with TurboModuleRegistry.get<...>('<Name>').

So the work is: extract the bridging-side names → make the resolver match them. Same shape as djangoResolver resolving _iterable_class to ModelIterable — no whole-graph correlation pass needed.

The one exception is #9 native→JS events, where the registration sites look very much like the in-language EventEmitter pattern the existing callback synthesizer already handles. Extending that synthesizer with a cross-language channel is the natural fit.

---

3. Concrete bridging rules (the reference table)

3a. Swift → ObjC selector mapping (auto)

Swift uses standard rules to derive an ObjC selector from a Swift method:

Swift declaration	ObjC selector
func greet()	greet
func say(_ msg: String)	say:
func set(name: String)	setWithName:
func setName(_ name: String)	setName:
func move(to point: CGPoint)	moveTo:
func move(from a: CGPoint, to b: CGPoint)	moveFrom:to:
init(name: String)	initWithName:
init(name: String, age: Int)	initWithName:age:
var name: String (getter)	name
var name: String (setter)	setName:
@objc(customSel:) func f(...)	customSel: (explicit override)

The full rule set is at Apple — Importing Swift into Objective-C — specifically the "method name translation" and "initializer name translation" sections. The resolver implements this mapping in one direction at extract time (Swift declarations produce the bridged ObjC name, attached as an alias on the Swift method node), so name resolution on the ObjC side finds the Swift method through normal name-matching.

3b. React Native legacy bridge — name resolution

// Native side (ObjC)
@implementation RCTGeolocation
RCT_EXPORT_MODULE();                                    // module name: "Geolocation" (RCT prefix stripped)
RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(getCurrentPosition:(RCTResponseSenderBlock)cb) { ... }
@end

// JS side
import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';
NativeModules.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(cb);       // resolves to the ObjC method above

Rule:

1. On the native side, extract a synthetic module node per class containing RCT_EXPORT_MODULE(). Name = explicit string argument if present, else class name with RCT prefix stripped.
2. Each RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(<sel>) and RCT_REMAP_METHOD(<jsName>, <sel>) becomes a method node attached to that module node, with the JS-visible name (<sel>'s first keyword for RCT_EXPORT_METHOD, or <jsName> for RCT_REMAP_METHOD).
3. On the JS side, the resolver matches the literal property chain NativeModules.<Mod>.<fn> against (module, jsName) pairs from the native side.
4. Resolver emits references (provenance:'heuristic', synthesizedBy:'rn-bridge') from the JS callsite to the native method.

3c. React Native TurboModule — name resolution

// Spec (TS) — codegen ground truth
export interface Spec extends TurboModule {
  getCurrentPosition(cb: (loc: Location) => void): void;
}
export default TurboModuleRegistry.getEnforcing<Spec>('Geolocation');

// ObjC++ impl
@implementation RCTGeolocation
- (void)getCurrentPosition:(RCTResponseSenderBlock)cb { ... }
@end

import Geolocation from './NativeGeolocation';
Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(cb);  // resolves to the ObjC method via the spec

Rule:

1. The spec file is the source of truth: parse TurboModuleRegistry.get*<Spec>('<Name>') to find the module name, then read the Spec interface methods.
2. Match each spec method to the native impl's same-named method (by selector first-keyword, in the class identified by name convention or by reading any JSI_EXPORT_MODULE macro if present).
3. JS imports of the spec file get name resolution through the spec.
4. Emits the same references edges as #3b, with synthesizedBy:'rn-turbomodule'.

3d. Expo Modules — name resolution

// Native (Swift, expo-modules-core API)
public class ExpoCameraModule: Module {
  public func definition() -> ModuleDefinition {
    Name("ExpoCamera")
    AsyncFunction("takePictureAsync") { (options: CameraOptions) in /* ... */ }
    View(ExpoCameraView.self) {
      Prop("type") { (view: ExpoCameraView, type: String) in /* ... */ }
    }
  }
}

import { requireNativeModule } from 'expo-modules-core';
const ExpoCamera = requireNativeModule('ExpoCamera');
await ExpoCamera.takePictureAsync({ quality: 1 });

Rule:

1. On the native side: a class extending Module whose definition() (or init { /* DSL */ } for newer API) contains a Name("X") call defines the module. Each Function("y") / AsyncFunction("y") literal defines a method. The trailing closure is the implementation body — extract as a method node named y, attached to module X.
2. On the JS side: requireNativeModule('X') produces a binding; resolve property accesses on it to the named methods.
3. Prop("name") for view modules behaves like RN's RCT_EXPORT_VIEW_PROPERTY — defer with the rest of the view-component frontier.

---

4. What edges need to exist

For each channel, the closed flow is:

• JS callsite → bridged-method-node (references, heuristic, synthesizedBy:'<channel>')
• Bridged-method-node → native-impl-method (already extracted; for #6/#7 the bridged-method IS the native impl; for #10 the closure body IS the impl)
• Native-impl-method → its own callees (already extracted in-language)

For Swift↔ObjC specifically, the cleanest model is alias-name on the declaration node: extend Swift method extraction to compute the ObjC auto-bridged name and store it as an alternate name the resolver considers. No new edges between Swift and ObjC method nodes are needed — normal name resolution suffices because both sides agree on the bridged selector after extraction.

The MCP read tools surface heuristic edges inline already (see metadata.synthesizedBy plumbing from #312/#403); these new edges ride that path with no additional plumbing.

---

5. Validation corpus (the small/medium/large bar)

Following CLAUDE.md's validation methodology — ≥3 flow prompts each on small / medium / large repos, with deterministic probes + agent A/B, ≥2 runs/arm. Picks below are candidates to commit to in the implementation branch; the implementation PR confirms the choices after verifying each repo still builds an index cleanly.

5a. Mixed iOS (Swift+ObjC) — pick 3

Tier	Repo	Why	Canonical flow
Small	Charts (~150 files Swift+ObjC)	Swift-first lib with ObjC compatibility layer; well-known	"How does setting data on a ChartView reach the renderer?"
Small (alt)	Lottie-ios (~300 files, was mixed; current may be pure-Swift — verify)	Animation engine, well-known mix	"How does AnimationView.play() reach the layer compositor?"
Medium	Realm-Cocoa (~500 files)	Heavy Swift-on-top-of-ObjC: Swift API wraps an ObjC core that wraps C++ Realm Core	"How does Realm.write { realm.add(obj) } reach the ObjC persistence layer?"
Large	Wikipedia-iOS (~2500 Swift+ObjC files)	Real app, deeply mixed, active development	"How does tapping a search result reach the article-fetch network call?"
Large (alt)	WordPress-iOS	Heavier ObjC legacy + Swift additions	"How does a new-post draft save reach Core Data persistence?"

Bar per repo:

1. Pure-language probes still pass (Swift-in-Swift trace; ObjC-in-ObjC trace) — no regression vs #165's pure-ObjC baseline.
2. Cross-language probe passes: the canonical flow above traces end-to-end with trace, no break at the language boundary.
3. Agent A/B (with vs without codegraph, ≥2 runs/arm): Read = 0 within the explore-call budget; faster than without-codegraph; no regression on a pure-Swift or pure-ObjC control repo (e.g. Texture).
4. No node-count explosion vs pre-bridging baseline (select count(*) from nodes before/after).

5b. React Native — pick 3

Tier	Repo	Why	Canonical flow
Small	react-native-svg (~100 files JS+ObjC+Java)	Small, well-scoped native module set	"How does setting <Path d=.../> reach the iOS Core Graphics call?"
Medium	react-native-screens (~300 files, JS+native)	Real navigation primitives, both legacy bridge and Fabric	"How does navigating to a new screen reach UINavigationController?"
Medium (alt)	react-native-firebase (~1000 files across packages)	Many native modules, both platforms — stresses module discovery	"How does firestore().collection('x').get() reach the iOS Firebase SDK call?"
Large	facebook/react-native RNTester subset (~3000 files)	The framework itself + sample app; canonical bridge usage	"How does pressing a button in RNTester's GeolocationExample reach the iOS Core Location call?"

Bar per repo:

1. Pure-JS probes unchanged (useState → re-render flow still resolves — existing react synthesizer not regressed).
2. JS → ObjC bridge probe passes for ≥1 known RCT_EXPORT_METHOD on each repo.
3. JS → TurboModule probe passes on a repo that uses TurboModules (react-native main has both; pick one of each).
4. Native → JS event probe passes for ≥1 emitter (NativeEventEmitter pattern).
5. Agent A/B as above. Critical: a question that crosses the bridge (e.g. "how does pressing Button X reach the network call") must drop Read to 0 in ≥1 run with codegraph.
6. No regression on a pure-JS control repo (existing react-realworld / excalidraw measurements unchanged).

5c. Expo — pick 2 (smaller scope, narrower API surface)

Tier	Repo	Why
Small/Medium	expo/expo — one SDK module like expo-camera or expo-location	The cleanest Expo Modules API examples; live
Large	full expo/expo monorepo (all SDK modules + the JS API)	Stress-test module-name resolution across many packages

Canonical flow: "How does await Camera.takePictureAsync() (JS) reach the native camera API call (Swift AVCaptureSession or Kotlin CameraDevice)?"

---

6. Phasing — what comes first

Per the playbook's difficulty gradient and the half-bridge rule, the order is fixed by what closes a flow end-to-end on the smallest repo first.

Phase 1 — Swift ↔ ObjC bridging (rows 1–5 above)

Smallest scope, deterministic name mapping, no JS involved. Validate on the Charts/Realm/Wikipedia corpus before moving on. Don't proceed to Phase 2 until Phase 1 passes the §5a bar on all three repos.

Phase 2 — React Native legacy bridge (rows 6–7, ObjC + Java/Kotlin)

Both iOS and Android sides must close in the same PR — half-bridging one platform reveals the half-coverage hop on the other and the agent reads. Validate on the §5b corpus.

Phase 3 — Native → JS events (row 9)

Extends the existing callback synthesizer with a cross-language channel. Validate on the same §5b corpus (most RN libs use at least one event emitter).

Phase 4 — Expo Modules (row 10)

Layered on Phase 1's Swift extraction. Smaller corpus (§5c).

Phase 5 — RN TurboModules / Codegen (row 8)

Requires reading the spec file as cross-language ground truth. Validate on the §5b corpus's TurboModule users (react-native main, post-0.73 libs).

Phase 6 — Fabric view components (row 11)

Deferred — composes with the existing JSX synthesizer and the view side of TurboModules. Address when ≥1 of the §5b corpus repos has its bridge otherwise closed but a Fabric flow still breaks.

---

7. Anti-goals (what we will not try to do)

• Android Kotlin/Java extraction quality — out of scope. We use what Kotlin/Java extractors already produce. If they miss a @ReactMethod annotation's literal name we may add a tiny extractor refinement, but we do not redesign JVM extraction.
• Dynamic / computed bridge keys — NativeModules[someVar], requireNativeModule(name) where name is a parameter, etc. We only resolve literal-key access (matches the agent-eval Lua frontier — anonymous-only patterns deferred).
• Bridging-header file content parsing — we do index .h files (already does via #165's content sniff) but we do not parse the bridging header's #import list as a special "what's visible to Swift" manifest. Treat it as a normal ObjC header.
• Runtime dispatch on performSelector: — out of scope; matches the same "named-only" anti-goal.
• JSI (raw, non-TurboModule) — out of scope. Apps using bare JSI call into native through a custom Host* interface that has no documented declarative spec. Wait for those apps to migrate to TurboModules.
• Swift-only generics over ObjC protocols / Swift extensions on ObjC classes — extension methods are still callable in ObjC if @objc, so they go through the same Phase 1 path. Generics are not — we silently miss them. Acceptable; matches Java/Kotlin generics frontier.

8. Coverage-matrix entries — measured

Language	Framework	Canonical flow	Mechanism	Status
Swift × Objective-C	bridging	Swift call → ObjC selector; ObjC call → @objc Swift method	R	✅ Phase 1 (§8a)
JavaScript × Objective-C/Java/Kotlin	React Native legacy bridge	NativeModules.<M>.<f> → RCT_EXPORT_METHOD / @ReactMethod	R	✅ Phase 2 (§8b)
JavaScript × native	React Native TurboModules	spec interface ↔ impl	R (spec as ground truth)	✅ partial — name-match path lands (§8b)
Objective-C/Java/Kotlin → JavaScript	React Native event emitters	[self sendEventWithName:] → addListener	S (cross-lang channel)	✅ Phase 3 (§8e)
JavaScript × Swift/Kotlin	Expo Modules	requireNativeModule('X').fn(...) → Function("fn") { }	R (extract synthesizes method nodes)	✅ Phase 4 (§8f)
JavaScript × native	React Native Fabric views	<MyView p=v/> → Codegen spec component + NativeProps	R (extract) + S (native-impl) + JSX	✅ Phase 6 (§8g)

8a. Phase 1 measurements — Swift ↔ ObjC

Repo	Source files	Bridge edges (framework-resolved)	Sample edges
Charts (small)	269 (205 Swift + 59 ObjC/.h)	28 objc→swift, 1 swift→objc	handleOption:forChartView: → animate · setupPieChartView: → setExtraOffsets · setDataCount:range: → setColor
realm-swift (medium)	369 (151 Swift + 218 ObjC family)	36 objc→swift, 1185 swift→objc	valueForUndefinedKey: → get · setValue:forUndefinedKey: → set · promote:on: → initialize
wikipedia-ios (large)	1734 (1234 Swift + 500 ObjC/.h)	52 objc→swift, 983 swift→objc	real-iOS-app bridging across many feature modules

All three: in-language baselines unchanged, no node-count explosion, trace connects canonical flows across the boundary (verified on Charts: trace(handleOption:forChartView:, animate) surfaces the bridge edge directly).

8b. Phase 2 + 5 (partial) measurements — React Native bridge

Repo	Source files	Bridge edges (framework-resolved)	Notes
react-native-svg (small/medium)	~700 (93 .mm + 115 .java + 6 .kt + 49 js + 92 ts + 154 tsx)	9 tsx→java via TurboModule spec	RNSvg's iOS uses TurboModule auto-gen (no RCT_EXPORT_METHOD); resolutions land on Java. All 9 precise: isPointInStroke, isPointInFill, getTotalLength, getPointAtLength, getCTM, getScreenCTM, getBBox, toDataURL.
AsyncStorage (small, pure legacy bridge)	~60 (28 kt + 2 mm + 16 ts + 14 tsx + …)	8/8 precise	The canonical legacy bridge test — Kotlin @ReactMethod + ObjC RCT_EXPORT_METHOD. JS setItem → Kotlin legacy_multiSet; getItem → legacy_multiGet; clear → legacy_clear; etc.
react-native-firebase (large)	~1100 (111 .java + 63 .m + 13 .mm + 239 js + 427 ts + 9 tsx)	18 after RCTEventEmitter blocklist (was 78 before)	Initial 78 included 60 false positives targeting addListener: / remove: (every RCTEventEmitter declares them; every JS call to .addListener(...) resolved into noise). Blocklist cut to 18, all precise: httpsCallable:region:emulatorHost:..., signInWithProvider, configureProvider, removeFunctionsStreaming:.
react-native-screens (medium)	1211	0 — empty TurboModule spec, no RCT_EXPORT_METHOD, all Fabric/Codegen view-side	RNScreens lives entirely in Phase 6 (Fabric, deferred). The bridge declining to over-match here is the right behavior.

8c. Architectural fix discovered during validation

The resolver's initialize() runs at CodeGraph construction — before any files are indexed — so framework resolvers whose detect() consults the indexed file list (UIKit / SwiftUI scanning for imports, swift-objc-bridge looking for both Swift and ObjC files, react-native-bridge looking for RN markers) all returned false on that initial pass and silently dropped themselves. This affected every framework resolver in the codebase that read context.getAllFiles() / context.readFile() rather than scanning the filesystem directly — a pre-existing latent bug, not bridge-specific. Fixed: indexAll() now calls resolver.initialize() after extraction completes, so detect() runs against the populated index.

8d. Bridge-precision blocklists (lessons learned)

Bridge	Blocked names	Reason
swift-objc	init, description, hash, isEqual, copy, count, value, data, string, object, add, remove, update, load, save, reload, cancel, start, stop, pause, resume, close, open, show, hide, dealloc, release, retain, autorelease, …	Every NSObject subclass implements these; bridging them to arbitrary project-local ObjC methods produces noise. Regular name-matcher handles them on its own.
react-native	addListener, removeListeners, remove, invalidate, startObserving, stopObserving	Every RCTEventEmitter subclass declares these via RCT_EXPORT_METHOD. JS callers of .addListener(...) / .remove(...) go through NativeEventEmitter (JS abstraction), not the native bridge directly.

8e. Phase 3 measurements — RN native → JS event channel

Synthesizer pattern; extends src/resolution/callback-synthesizer.ts with a cross-language event channel keyed by literal event name. Validates on RNFirebase (large):

Synthesized event channel	Edges	Sample
messaging_message_received	2	application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler: → TS onMessage (and the UNUserNotificationCenter willPresent variant → same onMessage)
messaging_notification_opened	1	userNotificationCenter:didReceiveNotificationResponse:withCompletionHandler: → TS onNotificationOpenedApp

Each edge is provenance:'heuristic', metadata.synthesizedBy:'rn-event-channel'. Same EVENT_FANOUT_CAP = 6 as the in-language channel — generic event names with too many handlers or dispatchers skip rather than over-link.

The synthesizer also handles the subscribe-wrapper pattern common in RN libraries (messaging().onMessage(listener) where listener is a parameter that flows up to user code): when the JS handler arg isn't a named symbol, it attributes the listener to the ENCLOSING JS function (reachability-correct, attributes to the abstraction layer).

8f. Phase 4 measurements — Expo Modules

Framework extract() parses Swift / Kotlin source for literal Function("X") { … } / AsyncFunction("X") { … } / Property("X") { … } / Constants declarations inside class X: Module (or : Module() in Kotlin) and emits a method node named X per literal. The standard name-matcher resolves JS callsites like Foo.takePictureAsync(...) to these synthetic nodes via the existing obj.method → method-name path.

Validated on real Expo SDK packages:

Package	Files indexed	Expo method nodes extracted	Cross-language edges
expo-haptics	14	6 (3 Swift + 3 Kotlin: notificationAsync, impactAsync, selectionAsync / performHapticsAsync)	Module nodes registered; consumer-app callers resolve via name-match
expo-camera	72	41 (Swift + Kotlin; covers takePictureAsync, record, resumePreview, getAvailableLenses, scanFromURLAsync, requestCameraPermissionsAsync, view-side width / height properties, …)	9 swift→expo, 7 kotlin→expo internal edges. JS-side callsites in the package shadow the native names with TS wrappers (pausePreview() defined on CameraView.tsx); name-match correctly prefers the local TS method. An external consumer app of Camera.takePictureAsync() resolves through to the native method directly.

Five tests cover the extractor + an end-to-end fixture: JS callsite of literal AsyncFunction("uniqueExpoHapticCall") resolves to the native impl node — confirms the resolver-free bridge path works when names aren't shadowed.

8g. Phase 6 measurements — Fabric / Codegen view components

Two-part design:

1. Framework extractor (src/resolution/frameworks/fabric.ts) — parses TS / TSX spec files for codegenNativeComponent<Props>('Name', ...) declarations. Emits:

   • One component node per declaration (named after the JS-visible component name; matches the JSX synthesizer's name+kind filter).
   • One property node per declared field of the NativeProps interface — surfacing JSX-callable props like onTap, nativeContainerBackgroundColor as discoverable graph nodes.

2. Synthesizer (fabricNativeImplEdges in callback-synthesizer.ts) — walks every fabric-component:* node and looks for a native class matching its name with one of RN's convention suffixes (empty / View / ViewManager / ComponentView / Manager). Emits a calls edge with metadata.synthesizedBy:'fabric-native-impl' from the component to each match. The convention is precise enough that there's no name collision in well-formed RN libraries.

Combined with the existing reactJsxChildEdges JSX synthesizer, this closes the full JSX → native flow: consumer-app JSX <MyView prop=v/> → Fabric component node MyView → native class MyViewView (or MyViewManager / MyViewComponentView / …).

Re-validated on react-native-screens (the corpus repo that was entirely Fabric and showed 0 bridges in Phase 2):

Metric	Count
codegenNativeComponent spec declarations	54
Fabric component nodes extracted	27 (one per non-web spec; the *.web.ts variants are filtered out by spec validity)
Fabric prop nodes extracted	272 (the full NativeProps interface surface across all components)
fabric-native-impl bridge edges	68

Sample bridge edges:

JS component	Native class	Suffix
RNSFullWindowOverlay	RNSFullWindowOverlay (ObjC)	(exact)
RNSFullWindowOverlay	RNSFullWindowOverlayManager (ObjC)	Manager
RNSModalScreen	RNSModalScreenManager (ObjC)	Manager
RNSScreenContainer	RNSScreenContainerView (ObjC)	View

Four tests cover the extractor + a full end-to-end fixture (App (TSX) → MyView (fabric-component) → MyViewView (ObjC class)) that asserts the JSX→component edge AND the component→native-class edge both exist after indexing.

9. Open questions to settle in Phase 1

These are not blocking the start of Phase 1 — they're the first things to decide while writing the Swift↔ObjC resolver:

1. Alias on declaration vs new bridge edge? Storing the auto-bridged ObjC selector as an alternate name on the Swift method node is cheaper and aligns with how name resolution already works. The alternative (synthesize a cross-language references edge between matching nodes) is more explicit in trace output but adds N edges per @objc symbol. Default: alias. Verify the alias surfaces in callers/callees/trace results.
2. How does trace display a cross-language hop? The MCP trace tool inlines each hop's body. A Swift → ObjC hop should make this obvious in the rendered output ("Swift func foo(bar:) → bridged to ObjC selector -fooWithBar: → ObjC -[ImageDownloader fooWithBar:]"). Will likely need a small renderer tweak in trace.ts to label the bridge.
3. Where do the resolver bridging rules live? Suggest a src/resolution/frameworks/swift-objc.ts for the auto-name mapping (a pure function) imported by both the Swift extractor (to compute the alias at extract time) and tests. Keeps the mapping in one place.
4. What about @objcMembers? Class-level export — applies to all members unless @nonobjc. Handle by checking the class's modifiers in the Swift extractor and defaulting each member's @objc-ness from that.

---

10. Done-bar (so we know when to stop)

Phase 1 (Swift↔ObjC) is done when:

• All three §5a corpora pass: pure-language probes unchanged; cross-language canonical flow probe finds the path end-to-end; agent A/B shows Read = 0 in ≥1 run with codegraph, faster than without.
• Coverage matrix row in §6 of the playbook is filled in with numbers.
• A CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry exists, written user-side.

Each subsequent Phase has the same shape — its own §5 corpus, its own matrix row, its own CHANGELOG entry — and doesn't ship until the previous one passes. Half-bridges are not optional to avoid here; they actively make codegraph worse on these codebases than not having any bridging at all.
