 ### Fixes
 
+- Indexing no longer aborts when a `.gitignore` contains non-UTF-8 bytes or an unparseable pattern. A `.gitignore` transparently encrypted in place by corporate DLP / endpoint-security software (a common enterprise scenario) — or one with a stray pattern the matcher can't compile (`\[`, producing "Unterminated character class") — used to crash the entire `sync` / `index` with a screen of garbled bytes and never name the offending file, leaving `Files: 0 / Nodes: 0`. CodeGraph now skips a `.gitignore` that isn't valid UTF-8 text whole, drops only the individual unparseable patterns from a text one, and logs a warning naming the file — indexing continues either way. Thanks @zhanghang-9527. (#682)
 - C++ method calls made through a singleton, factory, or chained getter now resolve to the correct class. A call like `Foo::instance().bar()`, `WidgetFactory::create().draw()`, `openSession()->run()`, or the same stored in an `auto` local first, used to lose the receiver's type — so when two classes had a same-named method the call silently attached to whichever was indexed first (or didn't resolve at all), corrupting callers, impact, and trace. CodeGraph now infers the receiver's type from what the inner call returns (capturing C++ return types for the first time) and creates the edge only when that class genuinely has the method, so a wrong guess produces no edge instead of a misleading one. Covers singletons and self-returning accessors, factories that return a different type, free-function factories, `make_unique` / `make_shared` / `new` / direct construction, and single-level member chains. Existing C/C++ indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. Thanks @stabey. (#645) (C/C++)
 - The shared background server no longer logs a scary-looking `[error] … undefined` line on every session start. Attaching to the shared daemon is normal, healthy behavior, but the informational message was being surfaced by MCP hosts (Claude Code and others) as an error; it's now silent by default — set `CODEGRAPH_MCP_LOG_ATTACH=1` to surface it when debugging daemon attach. Thanks @mturac. (#618)
 - On Windows, CodeGraph's background processes no longer pile up without bound and saturate CPU over a long session. When the editor or agent that launched CodeGraph exited, its helper process couldn't tell its parent had gone — Windows reports process lineage differently than macOS and Linux — so the helper kept running, the shared background server never saw the client disconnect, and its idle timer never fired to shut it down. CodeGraph now detects parent-process exit directly on Windows, so helpers and the idle background server wind down promptly, the same as they already did on macOS and Linux. (#692, #576, #680)
