description	Verify correctness parity between full and incremental indexing for the same revision.

Index Conformance: Full vs Incremental

When to Use

• Update incremental logic, hashing, or edge replacement.
• Before release for index-heavy MCP changes.

Procedure

1. Select fixed repository revision.
2. Run full index and capture summary snapshots.
3. Reset state and run incremental from same revision baseline.
4. Compare outputs
   • Symbol counts
   • Edge counts
   • Query results for dependency/call chain/module flow
5. Validate invariants
   • No orphan edges
   • Deterministic results for unchanged files

Output Format

• ready or blocked
• Diff report and likely root causes
