From 96ef60fa053dc1d311303fb2303180830d7b2e6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Taylor Eernisse Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 22:47:34 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Update documentation for CP2 merge request support Updates project documentation to reflect the complete CP2 feature set with merge request ingestion and robot mode capabilities. README.md: - Add MR-related CLI examples (gi list mrs, gi show mr, gi ingest) - Document robot mode (--robot flag, GI_ROBOT env, auto-detect) - Update feature list with MR support and DiffNote positions - Add configuration section with all config file options - Expand CLI reference with new commands and flags AGENTS.md: - Add MR ingestion patterns for AI agent consumption - Document robot mode JSON schemas for parsing - Include error handling patterns with exit codes - Add discussion/note querying examples for code review context Cargo.toml: - Bump version to 0.2.0 reflecting major feature addition The documentation emphasizes the robot mode design which enables AI agents like Claude Code to reliably parse gi output for automated GitLab workflow integration.
