Continue Foundation

Use when building IDE autocomplete/inline-suggestion engines or their config layer: FIM prompt templating with token pruning, generator reuse across keystrokes, stream-filter heuristics, prefix-keyed LRU caching, next-edit edit-prediction, the YAML→runtime config compilation ladder plus its lifecycle plumbing, and the tool plane: gating/serialization boundary, never-reject dispatch funnel, four-family permission taxonomy with monotone clamping, terminal-security veto, MCP manager diff-reconcile and connect state machine, SSE OAuth token attach, login-shell PATH resolution for stdio servers, and a markdown-fence tool-call grammar for models without native tool calling.

Continue: Autocomplete & Next-Edit Foundation

Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this projection and decide what ships.

Provenance and revision

Source record: continue; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
Recorded revision: main@5522c6f44ca0ac3528b37244818fbfa39b5af470.
Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence: references/index.md.

Topic map

Representative topics: Pipeline & caching; Streaming & reuse; Prompt & token budget; Output safety; Static & next-edit; Snippet gathering & streaming internals; Token accounting; Next-edit context plane.
Scope and retrieval questions: references/index.md#use-this-for.
Complete capsule chooser: references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump.
Detailed grouped map: references/index.md#capsule-map.
Source limitations and portability boundaries: references/index.md#boundaries.

Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply this foundation as a procedure.
