  "mermaid": "^11.4.1"                  // Ontology diagrams
}

SPARQL Endpoint Configuration

• URL: http://localhost:7878/query

🚦 Known Issues & Limitations

1. Pre-existing Test Failure (Not Task 7)

File: tests/unit/use-rdf-parser.test.ts
Test: useRdfParser > should handle parsing errors
Status: Pre-existing (before Task 7 work began)
Impact: None on Query Builder functionality
Action: Track separately, not blocking Task 7 completion

2. Oxigraph ARM Persistence Bug

Issue: Oxigraph 0.4.x on Apple Silicon has persistence issues
Workaround: Using in-memory mode only
Impact: Data lost on server restart
Solution: Upstream Oxigraph issue, tracked in their repo
Mitigation: load-and-start.sh script reloads data on each start

3. Large Result Sets

Issue: No virtual scrolling for 10k+ row result sets
Current: Pagination (100 rows/page) handles up to ~10k rows
Impact: Very large queries (>10k results) may be slow to render
Solution: Add LIMIT clause to queries (encouraged in UI)
Future: Implement react-window for true virtual scrolling

4. Monaco Editor Bundle Size

Issue: Monaco editor adds ~2.8 MB to bundle
Current: Lazy loading reduces initial load impact
Impact: First-time query builder load is ~1.5s
Solution: Consider code-splitting or lighter editor (CodeMirror)
Status: Acceptable for current use case

📞 Support & Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: Query Builder page blank
Solution: Check browser console for errors, ensure Vite dev server is running

Issue: "Failed to fetch" error
Solution: Verify Oxigraph is running (./scripts/load-and-start.sh)

Issue: Results table empty but query succeeded
Solution: Check SPARQL syntax, ensure data is loaded (curl localhost:7878/query)

Issue: Ontology diagram doesn't render
Solution: Check Mermaid syntax in browser console, try "Regenerate" button

Debug Commands

# Check Oxigraph status
curl http://localhost:7878/query -d "query=SELECT (COUNT(*) as ?count) WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }"

# Check frontend build
cd frontend && npm run build

# Run tests with verbose output
npm test -- --reporter=verbose

# Check for TypeScript errors
npm run build 2>&1 | grep error
