FAQ from Code Pathfinder

What runtime or dependencies does Code Pathfinder require?

It currently supports Python (pip install) and is available via Homebrew, Docker, and Chocolatey for other platforms.

Does my source code leave my machine?

No. All analysis runs 100% locally; your code never leaves your development machine.

Is Code Pathfinder free and open-source?

Yes, it is fully free and open-source under the AGPL-3.0 license.

How is Code Pathfinder different from text-based search tools like grep?

It performs multi-pass Abstract Syntax Tree analysis for deep semantic understanding, not just text pattern matching.

What languages does it support now and in the future?

Currently supports Python. Expansion to JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and Java is planned.
