Abstract

Code embedding models have become a key building block for many software engineering applications, yet their internal representations remain poorly understood. Existing evaluations tend to focus on downstream task performance, offering limited insight into whether a single embedding can support both functional abstraction and implementation-sensitive analysis. To address this gap, we present a lar
