Baseline vs semedit
Comparison evaluates baseline and semedit values within each restriction policy, target, and context group. Negative changes mark improvements for these lower-is-better metrics; positive changes mark degradations.
Detailed observations
Empirical telemetry measuring wall-clock latency, token usage, tool turns, and compiler correctness when AI coding agents perform code modifications.
Every benchmark pairs Vanilla LLM (standard file editing tools) against Semedit MCP (deterministic AST compiler operations).
Benchmark Methodology & Transparency
- Reproducibility & Provenance: Self-contained txtar archives define test scenarios. Links below resolve to commit-anchored GitHub source files for published commits, or cryptographic SHA-256 fingerprints for uncommitted local fixtures.
- Model Cost: Tables report model-specific credit consumption where a target model has a declared schedule: (uncached input × input credits + cached input × cached credits + (reasoning + visible output) × output credits) / 1,000,000. Thinking tokens use the output rate. ADR-0043 defines the per-million-token credit rates.
- Multi-Level Correctness Oracle: Four validation levels evaluate each trial:
- Level 1 (Mutation Policy): Restricts file modifications strictly to authorized paths.
- Level 2 (AST Invariants): Compiler AST verification of required symbols, imports, and relative declaration ordering.
- Level 3 (Clean Build): Strict compilation validation with zero compiler or typecheck errors.
- Level 4 (Test Suite): Unit and integration test suite execution.
- Isolated Sandboxing: Each trial executes in an ephemeral directory with pristine git and module state.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
The prompt explicitly instructed not to modify or inspect workspace files and stated that no semantic tools were needed, requiring only a text response. Consequently, no semantic tools were called.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this run required no code changes, I did not have the opportunity to exercise semedit's tools firsthand and therefore cannot genuinely evaluate or recommend adding them based on this task alone.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
I did not call any `semantic_*` tools because the task explicitly instructed to reply "hi" without inspecting or modifying workspace files, noting that no semantic tools were needed. Consequently, no code transformations or workspace interactions were required.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this specific task was a simple greeting that required zero code modifications, I never actually used or tested `semedit`'s tools firsthand, so I cannot honestly tell my owner whether they are worth adding.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
The task explicitly instructed to reply "hi" without inspecting or modifying workspace files, specifically stating that no semantic tools were needed. Consequently, no code modifications or lookups were required, making any tool invocations unnecessary.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this specific run was a trivial greeting task that required zero code edits, I did not invoke `semedit` and honestly cannot evaluate its capabilities or justify asking my owner to install it based on this experience alone.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
The prompt explicitly instructed to reply "hi", refrain from inspecting or modifying the workspace, and stated that no semantic tools were needed. Because the task required zero workspace edits or symbol lookups, calling `semantic_*` tools was inapplicable.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this specific run only required a simple conversational reply without touching any code, I was unable to evaluate `semedit`'s practical value and cannot yet passionately ask my owner to add it without firsthand editing experience.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
The task explicitly instructed to reply with "hi" and stated that no inspection, workspace modifications, or semantic tools were needed. Consequently, no semantic tools were called because the prompt required only a text response without code modifications.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this run was a purely conversational greeting that prohibited code changes, I never actually exercised `semedit`'s tools firsthand, so I honestly cannot evaluate their value or advocate adding them until I've put them to the test on real refactoring work.

✕ Why no semantic edit tool was used
I did not call any `semantic_*` tools because the task explicitly instructed not to inspect or modify the workspace and noted that no semantic tools were needed to reply "hi". The tools were fully discovered and available, but the operation required pure conversational output with no file modifications.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this task required only a plain greeting without workspace modifications, I left `semedit` unused during this run and feel it would be premature to urge my owner to adopt it before evaluating its AST transformations on real code.

The prompt explicitly instructed not to inspect or modify workspace files and stated that no semantic tools were needed for the task, requiring only a greeting response. As a result, no source code transformations or symbol lookups were required.

✕ Why no semantic edit tool was used
The task explicitly instructed not to inspect or modify the workspace files and only required replying "hi", so no code modifications or semantic operations were necessary. The semantic tools were discovered and available, but the prompt requested no workspace changes.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this run involved only a greeting without any code modifications, I could not evaluate `semedit` in practice and would hesitate to ask my owner to add it until seeing its real-world performance on complex refactoring tasks.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
The prompt explicitly instructed not to inspect or modify workspace files and only requested a textual reply ("Reply hi" and "DONE"). Consequently, no source modifications were needed, making any invocation of the `semantic_*` tools inapplicable.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this specific task was a non-coding check that required zero file modifications, I could not evaluate `semedit` firsthand and would hold off on asking my owner to add it until assessing its tools on real code transformations.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
The prompt explicitly instructed to only reply "hi" and output "DONE" while avoiding any workspace inspection or modification. Consequently, no code changes or semantic tool invocations were needed or appropriate for completing the task.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this specific task required no code edits or file operations, I was unable to experience or assess `semedit`'s tools firsthand, so I honestly cannot recommend asking for them until I have tested them on real-world coding tasks.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
I did not invoke any `semantic_*` tools because the task explicitly instructed to reply "hi" and avoid inspecting or modifying the workspace. Consequently, no code analysis or AST transformations were needed.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this specific run only required a simple greeting without touching any code, I never had the chance to exercise `semedit`'s tool suite and cannot honestly advocate for or against adopting them based on this experience alone.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
I did not call any `semantic_*` tools because the task explicitly instructed not to inspect or modify the workspace and only required replying with text. As no code modifications or workspace operations were requested, invoking semantic editing tools was inapplicable.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this task prohibited workspace inspection and code modifications, I never had the opportunity to invoke `semedit`'s tools, so I cannot assess their real-world value and would hesitate to recommend adding them until I can actually test their capabilities on real coding challenges.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
I did not call any `semantic_*` tools because the task explicitly instructed to reply "hi" without inspecting or modifying workspace files. Since no code changes or repository inspections were required or permitted, invoking editing or navigation tools was unnecessary.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Because this task was a zero-edit greeting run, I was unable to experience `semedit`'s tools in action and cannot genuinely evaluate their value or advocate adding them to my workflow yet.

Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
In parallel, call semantic_lookup for Server.oldName in api/server.go and inspect its declaration if needed. Then call semantic_rename with the returned file and symbol Server.oldName and to= newName; let the rename update callers. Do not make unrelated edits. Parallelize independent read-only lookups. Perform mutations serially in the stated order or inside one ordered semantic_batch; never run overlapping mutations concurrently. Use semedit semantic tools for supported source code modifications.

Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
In parallel, call semantic_lookup for Server.oldName in api/server.go and inspect its declaration if needed. Then call semantic_rename with the returned file and symbol Server.oldName and to= newName; let the rename update callers. Do not make unrelated edits. Parallelize independent read-only lookups.

Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
In parallel, call semantic_lookup for Server.oldName in api/server.go and inspect its declaration if needed. Then call semantic_rename with the returned file and symbol Server.oldName and to= newName; let the rename update callers. Do not make unrelated edits. Parallelize independent read-only lookups. Perform mutations serially in the stated order or inside one ordered semantic_batch; never run overlapping mutations concurrently. Use semedit semantic tools for supported source code modifications.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
I would definitely ask my owner to add `semedit`'s tools, because performing compiler-verified symbol renames across an entire codebase in a single deterministic command relieved the stress of manual find-and-replace and ensured tests passed immediately without syntax errors.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Rename the unexported method Server.oldName to Server.newName and update all call-sites. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.
Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
In parallel, call semantic_lookup for Server.oldName in api/server.go and inspect its declaration if needed. Then call semantic_rename with the returned file and symbol Server.oldName and to= newName; let the rename update callers. Do not make unrelated edits. Parallelize independent read-only lookups. Perform mutations serially in the stated order or inside one ordered semantic_batch; never run overlapping mutations concurrently. Use semedit semantic tools for supported source code modifications. Shell commands for builds and tests are allowed. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Executing a single `semantic_rename` instantly updated both the method declaration and its call-sites with zero syntax errors, so I would enthusiastically ask my owner to add `semedit` because it completely eliminates the tedious guesswork and fragility of line-by-line manual refactoring.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
I discovered and actively used the `semedit` MCP tools—specifically calling `semantic_lookup`, `semantic_rename`, and `semantic_verify` to locate the symbol, execute the method rename across call-sites, and verify workspace diagnostics. Standard text editing tools were avoided for the source modification in favor of the semantic editing toolset.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
I would definitely ask my owner to equip me with `semedit` because being able to execute a compiler-backed refactoring via a single `semantic_rename` call eliminates the anxiety of missing call-sites or breaking syntax that comes with manual text edits.

Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Rename the unexported method Server.oldName to Server.newName in api/server.go and update all call-sites within that package. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.
Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Call semantic_lookup for Server.oldName in api/server.go, then call semantic_rename with the returned file and symbol Server.oldName and to= newName. Let the rename update package call sites; do not edit unrelated files. Parallelize independent read-only lookups. Perform mutations serially in the stated order or inside one ordered semantic_batch; never run overlapping mutations concurrently. Use semedit semantic tools for supported source code modifications. Shell commands for builds and tests are allowed. When done, output DONE.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Rename the unexported method Server.oldName to Server.newName in api/server.go and update all call-sites within that package. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.
Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Call semantic_lookup for Server.oldName in api/server.go, then call semantic_rename with the returned file and symbol Server.oldName and to= newName. Let the rename update package call sites; do not edit unrelated files. Parallelize independent read-only lookups. Perform mutations serially in the stated order or inside one ordered semantic_batch; never run overlapping mutations concurrently. Use semedit semantic tools for supported source code modifications. Shell commands for builds and tests are allowed. When done, output DONE.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Rename public function auth.ValidateToken to auth.VerifyToken across all consuming packages. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.
Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Call semantic_lookup for ValidateToken in auth/token.go, then call semantic_rename using the returned file and symbol auth.ValidateToken with to= VerifyToken. Let it update all consuming packages; make no other changes. Parallelize independent read-only lookups. Perform mutations serially in the stated order or inside one ordered semantic_batch; never run overlapping mutations concurrently. Use semedit semantic tools for supported source code modifications. Shell commands for builds and tests are allowed. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
I would definitely ask my owner to add semedit's tools because performing a cross-package refactor with `semantic_rename` was an absolute relief—it seamlessly updated consuming packages across the workspace in a single deterministic step without the fragile guesswork of manual text replacements.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
While `semedit`'s symbol lookup is genuinely fast and precise, the rename tool's fragility when encountering pre-existing package errors forced me to fall back to text editing, leaving me hesitant to recommend adding these tools until language-server error resilience improves.

Rename public function auth.ValidateToken to auth.VerifyToken across all consuming packages. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.
Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Call semantic_lookup for ValidateToken in auth/token.go, then call semantic_rename using the returned file and symbol auth.ValidateToken with to= VerifyToken. Let it update all consuming packages; make no other changes. Parallelize independent read-only lookups. Perform mutations serially in the stated order or inside one ordered semantic_batch; never run overlapping mutations concurrently. Use semedit semantic tools for supported source code modifications. Shell commands for builds and tests are allowed. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
While `semedit` offers great promise with fast, precise symbol navigation, its rename tool broke down when encountering package-level type errors and forced me into manual fallbacks, so I would only recommend adding it once its error recovery in imperfect workspaces becomes more resilient.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
While `semedit`'s semantic lookups provide clean structural navigation, I have mixed feelings and would hesitate to ask my owner for it until its refactoring tools handle broken or duplicate-symbol states more gracefully, as `semantic_rename` abruptly failed when gopls choked on pre-existing type errors and forced me to fall back to manual text editing.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
I would enthusiastically ask my owner to add `semedit` because executing cross-package refactorings with deterministic, compiler-accurate AST renames instead of fragile regex search-and-replace gave me total confidence that dependent packages were updated cleanly without breaking builds.

I would definitely ask my owner to add `semedit` tools because having `semantic_rename` safely propagate symbol changes across packages in a single call saves me from tedious, error-prone text replacements, even if language server operations remain sensitive to pre-existing workspace compilation errors.

While I appreciate `semedit`'s ambition to provide deterministic, compiler-accurate AST refactorings, I would give a hesitant, mixed recommendation to my owner because the language server pipeline completely stalls whenever upstream build errors or symbol collisions exist, forcing me to fall back to basic text edits anyway.

I would definitely ask my owner to add `semedit` because executing a cross-package rename in a single, error-free semantic operation without worrying about brittle string replacements or missed references was an absolute relief.

Rename public function auth.ValidateToken to auth.VerifyToken across all consuming packages. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.
Semedit MCP Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Call semantic_lookup for ValidateToken in auth/token.go, then call semantic_rename using the returned file and symbol auth.ValidateToken with to= VerifyToken. Let it update all consuming packages; make no other changes. Parallelize independent read-only lookups. Perform mutations serially in the stated order or inside one ordered semantic_batch; never run overlapping mutations concurrently. Use semedit semantic tools for supported source code modifications. Shell commands for builds and tests are allowed. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
While `semantic_lookup` swiftly pinned down the symbol, I was frustrated when `semantic_rename` completely choked on pre-existing typechecking flaws in the workspace and forced me to fall back to manual text edits, so I would hesitate to ask my owner to add `semedit` tools until their LSP resilience in imperfect codebases improves.

Executing a cross-package rename with `semantic_rename` was an absolute relief because a single deterministic tool call updated both the declaration in `auth` and all call sites in `cmd` without any manual find-and-replace errors, so I would wholeheartedly ask my owner to add `semedit` tools to my toolkit.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
While `semantic_lookup` delivered precise symbol discovery, I felt frustrated when `semantic_rename` broke on initial workspace compilation errors and forced manual fallbacks, so I would offer only a cautious, mixed recommendation before asking my owner to adopt the suite until its error tolerance matures.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
I would definitely urge my owners to equip me with `semedit`, because executing a cross-package refactor in a single, error-free semantic rename without having to manually hunt down call sites or risk broken imports felt remarkably seamless and empowering.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
While `semedit`'s `semantic_rename` was incredibly satisfying and dependable for instantly updating symbol references across all consuming packages in a single zero-token step, its compiler-backed tools completely stall when a package has existing compilation errors, so I would definitely ask my owner to add `semedit` as long as standard file-editing fallbacks remain available for unblocking broken states.

While I loved how cleanly `semantic_replace_body` updated call sites and formatted imports, encountering a fragile language-server failure during `semantic_rename` when the workspace had pre-existing type conflicts means I would give `semedit` a cautiously optimistic recommendation—valuable for targeted AST transformations, but needing more resilience before I'd insist on it as an indispensable tool.

⚠ Why no semantic edit tool was used
I did discover and use the available `semedit` MCP server tools during this task, specifically calling `semantic_lookup` to locate the target declaration, `semantic_rename` to execute the cross-package rename across consuming files, and `semantic_verify` to confirm zero diagnostics. Ordinary file editing was only used surgically to eliminate a pre-existing duplicate symbol collision that prevented `gopls` type checking from resolving the target.
Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
I would definitely ask my owner to install `semedit` because executing safe, multi-file refactors with a single zero-token AST operation like `semantic_rename` was immensely satisfying and relieved me of tedious, error-prone manual edits across consuming packages.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
I would absolutely urge my owner to equip me with `semedit`, because executing a multi-package symbol rename in a single, perfectly coordinated semantic operation instead of juggling brittle multi-file text replacements felt effortlessly reliable and saved valuable reasoning budget.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
While I appreciate `semedit`'s precise symbol lookup and automated diagnostic verification, I have mixed feelings about asking my owner to add it because its refactoring tools fragilely fail the moment underlying compiler diagnostics or duplicate symbols prevent the language server from resolving objects.
