Extends the CLI with six new commands that complete the search pipeline:
- lore search <QUERY>: Hybrid search with mode selection (lexical,
hybrid, semantic), rich filtering (--type, --author, --project,
--label, --path, --after, --updated-after), result limits, and
optional explain mode showing RRF score breakdowns. Safe FTS mode
sanitizes user input; raw mode passes through for power users.
- lore stats: Document and index statistics with optional --check
for integrity verification and --repair to fix inconsistencies
(orphaned documents, missing FTS entries, stale dirty queue items).
- lore embed: Generate vector embeddings via Ollama. Supports
--retry-failed to re-attempt previously failed embeddings.
- lore generate-docs: Drain the dirty queue to regenerate documents.
--full seeds all entities for complete rebuild. --project scopes
to a single project.
- lore sync: Full pipeline orchestration (ingest issues + MRs,
generate-docs, embed) with --no-embed and --no-docs flags for
partial runs. Reports per-stage results and total elapsed time.
- lore health: Quick pre-flight check (config exists, DB exists,
schema current). Returns exit code 1 if unhealthy. Designed for
agent pre-flight scripts.
- lore robot-docs: Machine-readable command manifest for agent
self-discovery. Returns all commands, flags, examples, exit codes,
and recommended workflows as structured JSON.
Also enhances lore init with --gitlab-url, --token-env-var, and
--projects flags for fully non-interactive robot-mode initialization.
Fixes init's force/non-interactive precedence logic and adds JSON
output for robot mode.
Updates all command files for the GiError -> LoreError rename.

Replaces the verb-first pattern ('lore list issues', 'lore show
issue 42') with noun-first subcommands that feel more natural:
lore issues # list issues
lore issues 42 # show issue #42
lore mrs # list merge requests
lore mrs 99 # show MR #99
lore ingest # ingest everything
lore ingest issues # ingest only issues
lore count issues # count issues
lore status # sync status
lore auth # verify auth
lore doctor # health check
Key changes:
- New IssuesArgs, MrsArgs, IngestArgs, CountArgs structs with
short flags (-n, -s, -p, -a, -l, -o, -f, -J, etc.)
- Global -J/--json flag as shorthand for --robot
- 'lore ingest' with no argument ingests both issues and MRs,
emitting combined JSON summary in robot mode
- --asc flag replaces --order=asc/desc for brevity
- Renamed flags: --has-due-date -> --has-due, --type -> --for,
--confirm -> --yes, target_branch -> --target, etc.
Old commands (list, show, auth-test, sync-status) are preserved
as hidden backward-compat aliases that emit deprecation warnings
to stderr before delegating to the new handlers.

Introduces a unified robot mode that enables JSON output across all
commands, designed for AI agent and script consumption.
Robot mode activation (any of):
- --robot flag: Explicit opt-in
- GI_ROBOT=1 env var: For persistent configuration
- Non-TTY stdout: Auto-detect when piped (e.g., gi list issues | jq)
Implementation:
- Cli::is_robot_mode(): Centralized detection logic
- All command handlers receive robot_mode boolean
- Errors emit structured JSON to stderr with exit codes
- Success responses emit JSON to stdout
Behavior changes in robot mode:
- No color/emoji output (no ANSI escapes)
- No progress spinners or interactive prompts
- Timestamps as ISO 8601 strings (not relative "2 hours ago")
- Full content (no truncation of descriptions/notes)
- Structured error objects with code, message, suggestion
This enables reliable parsing by Claude Code, shell scripts, and
automation pipelines. The auto-detect on non-TTY means simple piping
"just works" without explicit flags.
Per-command --json flags remain for explicit control and override
robot mode when needed for human-friendly terminal + JSON file output.
