Index a Moose.lua file into the framework reference. Provide a path to a local Moose.lua (e.g. from Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Moose.lua or a UNC path) optionally with source = local | miz-embedded | reference-download. If path is omitted, indexes the bundled latest reference build from GitHub. Re-ingesting is a no-op if the file hash is unchanged. Stamps every record with which file/hash/commit it came from.

Returns one precise record from the indexed Moose.lua: the LDoc documentation block, the real Lua function signature, return docs, and the inheritance chain up to BASE. Provide class (required) and optionally method. When method is omitted, returns the class record only. If the method exists on a parent class, it is returned flagged as inheritedFrom. Token-budget: one small record, never a dump.

Fuzzy-match on half-remembered class or method names against the indexed Moose.lua. Returns each match as name + a one-line summary (plus signature/parent where available). Cap at 15 results by default, max 30. Use this before lookup when you only half-remember a name.

Returns the inheritance chain of a class (from the class up to BASE) plus the list of method names on each class in the chain. Method names only — no bodies, no docs. This is the cheapest query, ideal for checking "what methods does this class have?" quickly.

Parse dcs.log for runtime truth (Pillar 4). Finds the current session start, extracts structured [GM] events (scope/phase/event sim + key=value), and collects SCRIPTING ERROR/WARNING, nil-index, and traceback lines. Never blends runs; handles truncation naturally. Token-budget returns only the requested number of events/errors, capped by default.

Tail mode for dcs.log. Parses only lines after from_line, for near-live following. Call repeatedly, advancing from_line from the returned newFromLine to get only new events. Handles truncation/rotation by resetting to 0.

Pillar 2 (Framework Practice). Returns the most relevant AUTHOR-curated rules for how to use MOOSE well for a given task. Author rules are authoritative and always outrank community code. Optionally filter by phase: plan (planning constraints) or act (coding conventions). Plan/Act workflow: fire phase=plan during planning, phase=act while writing code. Returns small, precise rule records.

Pillar 2 (Framework Practice). Returns a matching vetted author example for a pattern. Author examples mirror the authors own tested missions (e.g. STATIONKEEP, FLEET, SUBHUNT, ADMIRAL). If no vetted author example matches, returns [NEEDS AUTHOR] and declines to answer authoritatively — it will never fall back to unvetted community code unless asked explicitly.

Pillar 3 (Mission Truth). Parses a .miz mission file to expose real group names, unit types, countries, waypoints and trigger names. Copy-on-read: the .miz is copied to a temp dir and the mission Lua table is read as text, never executed. Kills FindByName misses with the actual entity names. Degrades gracefully if the file is locked by DCS or the ME.

Correlation core. Validates a generated Lua snippet against the Pillar 1 framework index. Every CLASS:METHOD call is looked up; unknown methods and classes are flagged, and deprecated-class or pcall-on-lookup anti-patterns are surfaced.

Cross-cutting instance registry. Knows each DCS install (Stable/OpenBeta, Saved Games path, server vs client). Use action=list to see known instances, action=add to register one (label, variant, saved_games_path, server), action=remove to delete. Once an instance is registered, moose_parse_log and moose_ingest can accept that label as a path instead of a full path.
