## Methods

| Method | Signature | Returns |
|---|---|---|
| `chunkFile` | `chunkFile(filePath: string, rootDir: string)` | `CodeChunk[]` |
| `chunkDirectory` | `chunkDirectory(rootDir: string, config: {
      maxFiles?: number;
      includeExtensions?: string[];
      excludeDirs?: string[];
      targetChunkTokens?: number;
    })` | `CodeChunk[]` |
| `extractImports` | `extractImports(content: string)` | `string` |

## Where it refuses work

- `Chunker` stops the work with an early return when `results.length >= maxFiles`, in 2 places.
- `Chunker` stops the work with an early return when `stat.size > MAX_FILE_SIZE`.
- `Chunker` stops the work with an early return when `content.length > MAX_FILE_SIZE`.
- `Chunker` stops the work with an early return when `boundaries.length === 0`.
- `Chunker` stops the work with an early return when `foundOpen && depth === 0`.
- `Chunker` stops the work with an early return when `lines[i].trimEnd().endsWith(';')`.

## When something fails

- `Chunker` handles failure in 2 places: it turns it into a return value in all 2.
