By default, the `me` command truncates note/comment bodies to 200
characters in both the activity feed and since-last-check inbox. This
is sensible for overview displays but loses context when you need to
see the full comment text.
The new `--full` flag disables truncation, returning complete note
bodies. This affects:
- Activity feed: Note summaries now show full content
- Since-last-check inbox: Both regular comments and @mentions show
full bodies
Implementation:
- CLI: Added `--full` boolean arg under "Output" help heading
- queries.rs: `query_activity()` and `query_since_last_check()` now
accept a `full_body: bool` parameter that controls SQL body
selection (`n.body` vs `SUBSTR(n.body, 1, 200)`)
- mod.rs: Wired `args.full` through to both query functions
- Tests: Added `activity_full_body_flag` and
`since_last_check_full_body_flag` tests that verify:
- 300-char bodies truncated to 200 without --full
- 300-char bodies preserved in full with --full

When new projects are added to the config file, `lore sync` doesn't pick
them up because project discovery only happens during `lore init`.
Previously, users had to use `--force` to overwrite their entire config.
The new `--refresh` flag reads the existing config and updates the
database to match, without modifying the config file itself.
Features:
- Validates GitLab authentication before processing
- Registers new projects from config into the database
- Detects orphan projects (in DB but removed from config)
- Interactive mode: prompts to delete orphans (default: No)
- Robot mode: returns JSON with orphan info, no prompts
Usage:
lore init --refresh # Interactive
lore --robot init --refresh # JSON output
Improved UX: When running `lore init` with an existing config and no
flags, the error message now suggests using `--refresh` to register
new projects or `--force` to overwrite the config file.
Implementation:
- Added RefreshOptions and RefreshResult types to init module
- Added run_init_refresh() for core refresh logic
- Added delete_orphan_projects() helper for orphan cleanup
- Added handle_init_refresh() in main.rs for CLI handling
- Added JSON output types for robot mode
- Registered --refresh in autocorrect.rs command flags registry
- --refresh conflicts with --force (mutually exclusive)
Implement `lore related` command for discovering semantically similar entities
using vector embeddings. Supports two modes:
Entity mode:
lore related issues 42 # Find entities similar to issue #42
lore related mrs 99 # Find entities similar to MR !99
Query mode:
lore related "auth bug" # Find entities matching free text query
Key features:
- Uses existing embedding infrastructure (nomic-embed-text via Ollama)
- Computes shared labels between source and results
- Shows similarity scores as percentage (0-100%)
- Warns when all results have low similarity (<30%)
- Warns for short queries (<=2 words) that may produce noisy results
- Filters out discussion/note documents, returning only issues and MRs
- Handles orphaned documents gracefully (skips if entity deleted)
- Robot mode JSON output with {ok, data, meta} envelope
Implementation details:
- distance_to_similarity() converts L2 distance to 0-1 score: 1/(1+distance)
- Uses saturating_add/saturating_mul for overflow safety on limit parameter
- Proper error handling for missing embeddings ("run lore embed first")
- Project scoping via -p flag with fuzzy matching
CLI integration:
- Added to autocorrect.rs command registry
- Added Related variant to Commands enum in cli/mod.rs
- Wired into main.rs with handle_related()

Implements a cursor-based notification inbox that surfaces actionable
events from others since the user's last `lore me` invocation. This
addresses the core UX need: "what happened while I was away?"
Event Sources (three-way UNION query):
1. Others' comments on user's open issues/MRs
2. @mentions on ANY item (not restricted to owned items)
3. Assignment/review-request system notes mentioning user
Mention Detection:
- SQL LIKE pre-filter for performance, then regex validation
- Word-boundary-aware: rejects "alice" in "@alice-bot" or "alice@corp.com"
- Domain rejection: "@alice.com" not matched (prevents email false positives)
- Punctuation tolerance: "@alice," "@alice." "(@ alice)" all match
Cursor Watermark Pattern:
- Global watermark computed from ALL projects before --project filtering
- Ensures --project display filter doesn't permanently skip events
- Cursor advances only after successful render (no data loss on errors)
- First run establishes baseline (no inbox shown), subsequent runs show delta
Output:
- Human: color-coded event badges, grouped by entity, actor + timestamp
- Robot: standard envelope with since_last_check object containing
cursor_iso, total_event_count, and groups array with nested events
CLI additions:
- --reset-cursor flag: clears cursor (next run shows no new events)
- Autocorrect: --reset-cursor added to known me command flags
Tests cover:
- Mention with trailing comma/period/parentheses (should match)
- Email-like text "@alice.com" (should NOT match)
- Domain-like text "@alice.example" (should NOT match)

Implement a personal work dashboard that shows everything relevant to the
configured GitLab user: open issues assigned to them, MRs they authored,
MRs they are reviewing, and a chronological activity feed.
Design decisions:
- Attention state computed from GitLab interaction data (comments, reviews)
with no local state tracking -- purely derived from existing synced data
- Username resolution: --user flag > config.gitlab.username > actionable error
- Project scoping: --project (fuzzy) | --all | default_project | all
- Section filtering: --issues, --mrs, --activity (combinable, default = all)
- Activity feed controlled by --since (default 30d); work item sections
always show all open items regardless of --since
Architecture (src/cli/commands/me/):
- types.rs: MeDashboard, MeSummary, AttentionState data types
- queries.rs: 4 SQL queries (open_issues, authored_mrs, reviewing_mrs,
activity) using existing issue_assignees, mr_reviewers, notes tables
- render_human.rs: colored terminal output with attention state indicators
- render_robot.rs: {ok, data, meta} JSON envelope with field selection
- mod.rs: orchestration (resolve_username, resolve_project_scope, run_me)
- me_tests.rs: comprehensive unit tests covering all query paths
Config additions:
- New optional gitlab.username field in config.json
- Tests for config with/without username
- Existing test configs updated with username: None
CLI wiring:
- MeArgs struct with section filter, since, project, all, user, fields flags
- Autocorrect support for me command flags
- LoreRenderer::try_get() for safe renderer access in me module
- Robot mode field selection presets (me_items, me_activity)
- handle_me() in main.rs command dispatch
Also fixes duplicate assertions in surgical sync tests (removed 6
duplicate assert! lines that were copy-paste artifacts).
Spec: docs/lore-me-spec.md
Add the ability to sync specific issues or merge requests by IID without
running a full incremental sync. This enables fast, targeted data refresh
for individual entities — useful for agent workflows, debugging, and
real-time investigation of specific issues or MRs.
Architecture:
- New CLI flags: --issue <IID> and --mr <IID> (repeatable, up to 100 total)
scoped to a single project via -p/--project
- Preflight phase validates all IIDs exist on GitLab before any DB writes,
with TOCTOU-aware soft verification at ingest time
- 6-stage pipeline: preflight -> fetch -> ingest -> dependents -> docs -> embed
- Each stage is cancellation-aware via ShutdownSignal
- Dedicated SyncRunRecorder extensions track surgical-specific counters
(issues_fetched, mrs_ingested, docs_regenerated, etc.)
New modules:
- src/ingestion/surgical.rs: Core surgical fetch/ingest/dependent logic
with preflight_fetch(), ingest_issue_by_iid(), ingest_mr_by_iid(),
and fetch_dependents_for_{issue,mr}()
- src/cli/commands/sync_surgical.rs: Full CLI orchestrator with progress
spinners, human/robot output, and cancellation handling
- src/embedding/pipeline.rs: embed_documents_by_ids() for scoped embedding
- src/documents/regenerator.rs: regenerate_dirty_documents_for_sources()
for scoped document regeneration
Database changes:
- Migration 027: Extends sync_runs with mode, phase, surgical_iids_json,
per-entity counters, and cancelled_at column
- New indexes: idx_sync_runs_mode_started, idx_sync_runs_status_phase_started
GitLab client:
- get_issue_by_iid() and get_mr_by_iid() single-entity fetch methods
Error handling:
- New SurgicalPreflightFailed error variant with entity_type, iid, project,
and reason fields. Shares exit code 6 with GitLabNotFound.
Includes comprehensive test coverage:
- 645 lines of surgical ingestion tests (wiremock-based)
- 184 lines of scoped embedding tests
- 85 lines of scoped regeneration tests
- 113 lines of GitLab client single-entity tests
- 236 lines of sync_run surgical column/counter tests
- Unit tests for SyncOptions, error codes, and CLI validation
Add lore cron {install,uninstall,status} to manage a crontab entry that
runs lore sync on a configurable interval. Supports both human and robot
output modes.
Core implementation (src/core/cron.rs):
- install_cron: appends a tagged crontab entry, detects existing entries
- uninstall_cron: removes the tagged entry
- cron_status: reads crontab + checks last-sync time from the database
- Unix-only (#[cfg(unix)]) — compiles out on Windows
CLI wiring:
- CronAction enum and CronArgs in cli/mod.rs with after_help examples
- Robot JSON envelope with RobotMeta timing for all 3 sub-actions
- Dispatch in main.rs
Also in this commit:
- Add after_help example blocks to Status, Auth, Doctor, Init, Migrate,
Health commands for better discoverability
- Add LORE_ICONS env var documentation to CLI help text
- Simplify notes format dispatch in main.rs (removed csv/jsonl paths)
- Update commands/mod.rs re-exports for cron + notes cleanup

Workload and active modes now exclude discussions on closed issues and
merged/closed MRs by default. Adds --include-closed flag to restore
the previous behavior when needed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add -t/--timings flag to the sync subcommand, allowing users to opt
into a per-stage timing breakdown after the sync summary. Wire the flag
through main.rs into print_sync() which passes it to the new
should_print_timings() gate.
Enrich the data structures that flow through the sync pipeline so
downstream renderers have full error visibility:
- ProjectSummary gains status_errors (issue-side status enrichment
failures per project)
- ProjectStatusEnrichment gains path (project path for sub-row display)
- SyncResult gains documents_errored and embedding_failed so the
summary can surface doc-gen and embed failures separately
- Autocorrect table updated with --timings for fuzzy flag matching
Introduce src/cli/render.rs as the single source of truth for all terminal
output styling and formatting utilities. Key components:
- LoreRenderer: global singleton initialized once at startup, resolving
color mode (Auto/Always/Never) against TTY state and NO_COLOR env var.
This fixes lipgloss's limitation of hardcoded TrueColor rendering by
gating all style application through a colors_on() check.
- Theme: semantic style constants (success/warning/error/info/accent,
entity refs, state colors, structural styles) that return plain
Style::new() when colors are disabled. Replaces ad-hoc console::style()
calls scattered across 15+ command modules.
- Shared formatting utilities consolidated from duplicated implementations:
format_relative_time (was in list.rs and who.rs), format_number (was in
count.rs and sync_status.rs), truncate (was truncate_with_ellipsis in
list.rs and truncate_summary in timeline.rs), format_labels, format_date,
wrap_indent, section_divider.
- LoreTable: lightweight table renderer replacing comfy-table with simple
column alignment (Left/Right/Center), adaptive terminal width, and
NO_COLOR-safe output.

Adds issue:N / i:N / mr:N / m:N query syntax to bypass hybrid search
and seed the timeline directly from a known entity. All discussions for
the entity are gathered without needing Ollama.
- parse_timeline_query() detects entity-direct patterns
- resolve_entity_by_iid() resolves IID to EntityRef with ambiguity handling
- seed_timeline_direct() gathers all discussions for the entity
- 20 new tests (5 resolve, 6 direct seed, 9 parse)
- Updated CLI help text and robot-docs manifest
Move inline #[cfg(test)] mod tests { ... } blocks from 22 source files
into dedicated _tests.rs companion files, wired via:
#[cfg(test)]
#[path = "module_tests.rs"]
mod tests;
This keeps implementation-focused source files leaner and more scannable
while preserving full access to private items through `use super::*;`.
Modules extracted:
core: db, note_parser, payloads, project, references, sync_run,
timeline_collect, timeline_expand, timeline_seed
cli: list (55 tests), who (75 tests)
documents: extractor (43 tests), regenerator
embedding: change_detector, chunking
gitlab: graphql (wiremock async tests), transformers/issue
ingestion: dirty_tracker, discussions, issues, mr_diffs
Also adds conflicts_with("explain_score") to the --detail flag in the
who command to prevent mutually exclusive flags from being combined.
All 629 unit tests pass. No behavior changes.

Implement drift detection using cosine similarity between issue description
embedding and chronological note embeddings. Sliding window (size 3) identifies
topic drift points. Includes human and robot output formatters.
New files: drift.rs, similarity.rs
Closes: bd-1cjx
Integrates the defaultProject config field across the entire CLI
surface so that omitting `-p` now falls back to the configured default.
Init command:
- New `--default-project` flag on `lore init` (and robot-mode variant)
- InitInputs.default_project: Option<String> passed through to run_init
- Validation in run_init ensures the default matches a configured path
- Interactive mode: when multiple projects are configured, prompts
whether to set a default and which project to use
- Robot mode: InitOutputJson now includes default_project (omitted when
null) for downstream automation
- Autocorrect dictionary updated with `--default-project`
Command handlers applying effective_project():
- handle_issues: list filters use config default when -p omitted
- handle_mrs: same cascading resolution for MR listing
- handle_ingest: dry-run and full sync respect the default
- handle_timeline: TimelineParams.project resolved via effective_project
- handle_search: SearchCliFilters.project resolved via effective_project
- handle_generate_docs: project filter cascades
- handle_who: falls back to config.default_project when -p omitted
- handle_count: both count subcommands respect the default
- handle_discussions: discussion count filters respect the default
Robot-docs:
- init command schema updated with --default-project flag and
response_schema showing default_project as string?
- New config_notes section documents the defaultProject field with
type, description, and example

Work item status integration across all CLI output:
Issue listing (lore list issues):
- New Status column appears when any issue has status data, with
hex-color rendering using ANSI 256-color approximation
- New --status flag for case-insensitive filtering (OR logic for
multiple values): lore issues --status "In progress" --status "To do"
- Status fields (name, category, color, icon_name, synced_at) in issue
list query and JSON output with conditional serialization
Issue detail (lore show issue):
- Displays "Status: In progress (in_progress)" with color-coded output
using ANSI 256-color approximation from hex color values
- Status fields included in robot mode JSON with ISO timestamps
- IssueRow, IssueDetail, IssueDetailJson all carry status columns
Robot mode field selection expanded to new commands:
- search: --fields with "minimal" preset (document_id, title, source_type, score)
- timeline: --fields with "minimal" preset (timestamp, type, entity_iid, detail)
- who: --fields with per-mode presets (expert_minimal, workload_minimal, etc.)
- robot-docs: new --brief flag strips response_schema from output (~60% smaller)
- strip_schemas() utility in robot.rs for --brief mode
- expand_fields_preset() extended for search, timeline, and all who modes
Robot-docs manifest updated with --status flag documentation, --fields
flags for search/timeline/who, fields_presets sections, and corrected
search response schema field names.
Note: replaces empty commit dcfd449 which lost staging during hook execution.

Expert mode now surfaces the specific MR references (project/path!iid) that
contributed to each expert's score, capped at 50 per user. A new --detail flag
adds per-MR breakdowns showing role (Author/Reviewer/both), note count, and
last activity timestamp.
Scoring weights (author_weight, reviewer_weight, note_bonus) are now
configurable via the config file's `scoring` section with validation that
rejects negative values. Defaults shift to author_weight=25, reviewer_weight=10,
note_bonus=1 — better reflecting that code authorship is a stronger expertise
signal than review assignment alone.
Path resolution gains suffix matching: typing "login.rs" auto-resolves to
"src/auth/login.rs" when unambiguous, with clear disambiguation errors when
multiple paths match. Project-scoping (-p) narrows the candidate set.
The MAX_MR_REFS_PER_USER constant is promoted to module scope for reuse
across expert and overlap modes. Human output shows MR refs inline and detail
sub-rows when requested. Robot JSON includes mr_refs, mr_refs_total,
mr_refs_truncated, and optional details array.
Includes comprehensive tests for suffix resolution, scoring weight
configurability, MR ref aggregation across projects, and detail mode.

The --since naming is more intuitive (matches git log --since) and
consistent with the list commands which already use --since. Renames
the CLI flags, SearchCliFilters fields, SearchFilters fields,
autocorrect registry, and robot-docs manifest. No behavioral change.
Affected paths:
- cli/mod.rs: SearchArgs field + clap attribute rename
- cli/commands/search.rs: SearchCliFilters + run_search plumbing
- search/filters.rs: SearchFilters struct + apply_filters logic
- main.rs: handle_search + robot-docs JSON
- cli/autocorrect.rs: COMMAND_FLAGS entry for search

Add `lore who` command with 5 query modes answering collaboration questions
using existing DB data (280K notes, 210K discussions, 33K DiffNotes):
- Expert: who knows about a file/directory (DiffNote path analysis + MR breadth scoring)
- Workload: what is a person working on (assigned issues, authored/reviewing MRs, discussions)
- Active: what discussions need attention (unresolved resolvable, global/project-scoped)
- Overlap: who else is touching these files (dual author+reviewer role tracking)
- Reviews: what review patterns does a person have (prefix-based category extraction)
Includes migration 017 (5 composite indexes), CLI skeleton with clap conflicts_with
validation, robot JSON output with input+resolved_input reproducibility, human terminal
output, and 20 unit tests. All quality gates pass.

Addresses findings from a comprehensive CLI readiness audit:
Flag design (I2):
- Add hidden --no-verbose flag with overrides_with semantics, matching
the --no-quiet pattern already established for all other boolean flags.
Help text (I3):
- Add after_help examples to issues, mrs, search, sync, and timeline
subcommands. Each shows 3-4 concrete, runnable commands with comments.
Help headings (I4/P5):
- Move --mode and --fts-mode from "Output" heading to "Mode" heading
in the search subcommand. These control search strategy, not output
format — "Output" is reserved for --limit, --explain, --fields.
Exit codes (I5):
- Health check failure now exits 19 (was 1). Exit code 1 is reserved
for internal errors only. robot-docs updated to document code 19.
Deprecation visibility (P4):
- Deprecated commands (list, show, auth-test, sync-status) now emit
structured JSON warnings to stderr in robot mode:
{"warning":{"type":"DEPRECATED","message":"...","successor":"..."}}
Previously these were silently swallowed in robot mode.
Version string (P1):
- Cli struct uses env!("LORE_VERSION") from build.rs so --version shows
git hash (see previous commit).
Fields flag (P3):
- --fields help text updated to document the "minimal" preset.
Robot-docs (parallel work):
- response_schema added for every command, documenting the JSON shape
agents will receive. Agents can now introspect expected fields before
calling a command.
- error_format documents the new "actions" array.

Shutdown signal improvements:
- Upgrade ShutdownSignal from Relaxed to Release/Acquire ordering.
Relaxed was technically sufficient for a single flag but
Release/Acquire is the textbook correct pattern and ensures
visibility guarantees across threads without relying on x86 TSO.
- Add double Ctrl+C support to all three signal handlers (ingest,
embed, sync). First Ctrl+C sets cooperative flag with user message;
second Ctrl+C force-exits with code 130 (standard SIGINT convention).
CLI hardening:
- LORE_ROBOT env var now checks for truthy values (!empty, !="0",
!="false") instead of mere existence. Setting LORE_ROBOT=0 or
LORE_ROBOT=false no longer activates robot mode.
- Replace unreachable!() in color mode match with defensive warning
and fallback to auto. Clap validates the values but defense in depth
prevents panics if the value_parser is ever changed.
- Replace unreachable!() in completions shell match with proper error
return for unsupported shells.
Exit code collision fix:
- ConfigNotFound was mapped to exit code 2 (error.rs:56) which
collided with handle_clap_error() also using exit code 2 for parse
errors. Agents calling lore --robot could not distinguish "bad
arguments" from "missing config file."
- Restore ConfigNotFound to exit code 20 (its original dedicated code).
- Update robot-docs exit code table: code 2 = "Usage error", code 20 =
"Config not found".
Build script:
- Track .git/refs/heads directory for Cargo rebuild triggers. Ensures
GIT_HASH env var updates when branch refs change, not just HEAD.

- bd-dty: Robot JSON output with {ok,data,meta} envelope, ISO timestamps,
nested via provenance, and per-event-type details objects
- bd-1nf: CLI wiring with TimelineArgs (9 flags), Commands::Timeline
variant, handle_timeline handler, VALID_COMMANDS entry, and robot-docs
manifest with temporal_intelligence workflow
All 7 Gate 3 children now closed. Pipeline: SEED -> HYDRATE -> EXPAND ->
COLLECT -> RENDER fully operational.

CLI help improvements (cli/mod.rs):
- Add descriptive help text to all global flags (-c, --robot, -J, etc.)
- Add descriptions to all subcommands (Issues, Mrs, Sync, etc.)
- Add --no-quiet flag for explicit quiet override
- Shell completions now shows installation instructions for each shell
- Optional subcommand: running bare 'lore' shows help in terminal mode,
robot-docs in robot mode
Structured clap error handling (main.rs):
- Early robot mode detection before parsing (env + args)
- JSON error output for parse failures in robot mode
- Semantic error codes: UNKNOWN_COMMAND, UNKNOWN_FLAG, MISSING_REQUIRED,
INVALID_VALUE, ARGUMENT_CONFLICT, etc.
- Fuzzy command suggestion using Jaro-Winkler similarity (>0.7 threshold)
- Help/version requests handled normally (exit 0, not error)
Robot-docs enhancements (main.rs):
- Document deprecated command aliases (list issues -> issues, etc.)
- Document clap error codes for programmatic error handling
- Include completions command in manifest
- Update flag documentation to show short forms (-n, -s, -p, etc.)
Dependencies:
- Add strsim 0.11 for Jaro-Winkler fuzzy matching

Removes module-level doc comments (//! lines) and excessive inline doc
comments that were duplicating information already evident from:
- Function/struct names (self-documenting code)
- Type signatures (the what is clear from types)
- Implementation context (the how is clear from code)
Affected modules:
- cli/* - Removed command descriptions duplicating clap help text
- core/* - Removed module headers and obvious function docs
- documents/* - Removed extractor/regenerator/truncation docs
- embedding/* - Removed pipeline and chunking docs
- gitlab/* - Removed client and transformer docs (kept type definitions)
- ingestion/* - Removed orchestrator and ingestion docs
- search/* - Removed FTS and vector search docs
Philosophy: Code should be self-documenting. Comments should explain
"why" (business decisions, non-obvious constraints) not "what" (which
the code itself shows). This change reduces noise and maintenance burden
while keeping the codebase just as understandable.
Retains comments for:
- Non-obvious business logic
- Important safety invariants
- Complex algorithm explanations
- Public API boundaries where generated docs matter

Overhaul the CLI logging infrastructure for production observability:
CLI flags:
- Add -v/-vv/-vvv (--verbose) for progressive stderr verbosity control:
0=INFO, 1=DEBUG app, 2=DEBUG all, 3+=TRACE
- Add --log-format text|json for structured stderr output in automation
- Existing -q/--quiet overrides verbosity for silent operation
Subscriber architecture (main.rs):
- Replace single-layer subscriber with triple-layer setup:
1. stderr layer: human-readable or JSON, filtered by -v flags
2. file layer: always-on JSON to daily-rotated logs (lore.YYYY-MM-DD.log)
3. MetricsLayer: captures span timing for robot-mode performance payloads
- Parse CLI before subscriber init so verbosity is known at setup time
- Load LoggingConfig early (with graceful fallback for pre-init commands)
- Clean up old log files before subscriber init to avoid holding deleted handles
- Hold WorkerGuard at function scope to ensure flush on exit
Doctor command:
- Add logging health check: validates log directory exists, reports file
count and total size, warns on missing or inaccessible log directory

tracing-indicatif pulled in vt100, arrayvec, and its own indicatif
integration layer. Replace it with a minimal SuspendingWriter that
coordinates tracing output with progress bars via a global LazyLock
MultiProgress.
- Add src/cli/progress.rs: shared MultiProgress singleton via LazyLock
and a SuspendingWriter that suspends bars before writing log lines,
preventing interleaving/flicker
- Wire all progress bar creation through multi().add() in sync and
ingest commands
- Replace IndicatifLayer in main.rs with SuspendingWriter for
tracing-subscriber's fmt layer
- Remove tracing-indicatif from Cargo.toml (drops vt100 and arrayvec
transitive deps)

Automated formatting and lint corrections from parallel agent work:
- cargo fmt: import reordering (alphabetical), line wrapping to respect
max width, trailing comma normalization, destructuring alignment,
function signature reformatting, match arm formatting
- clippy (pedantic): Range::contains() instead of manual comparisons,
i64::from() instead of `as i64` casts, .clamp() instead of
.max().min() chains, let-chain refactors (if-let with &&),
#[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)] and
#[allow(clippy::field_reassign_with_default)] where warranted
- Removed trailing blank lines and extra whitespace
No behavioral changes. All existing tests pass unmodified.

Adds a new boolean field to SyncConfig that controls whether resource
event fetching is performed during sync:
- SyncConfig.fetch_resource_events: defaults to true via serde
default_true helper, serialized as "fetchResourceEvents" in JSON
- SyncArgs.no_events: --no-events CLI flag that overrides the config
value to false when present
- SyncOptions.no_events: propagates the flag through the sync pipeline
- handle_sync_cmd: mutates loaded config when --no-events is set,
ensuring the flag takes effect regardless of config file contents
This follows the existing pattern established by --no-embed and
--no-docs flags, where CLI flags override config file defaults.
The config is loaded as mutable specifically to support this override.
Also adds "events" to the count command's entity type value_parser,
enabling `lore count events` (implementation in a separate commit).

- Add --full / --no-full flag pair to EmbedArgs with overrides_with
semantics matching the existing flag pattern. When active, atomically
DELETEs all embedding_metadata and embeddings before re-embedding.
- Thread the full flag through run_embed -> run_sync so that
'lore sync --full' triggers a complete re-embed alongside the full
re-ingest it already performed.
- Add indicatif spinners to sync stages with dynamic stage numbering
that adjusts when --no-docs or --no-embed skip stages. Spinners are
hidden in robot mode.
- Update robot-docs manifest to advertise the new --full flag on the
embed command.
- Replace hardcoded schema version 9 in health check with the
LATEST_SCHEMA_VERSION constant from db.rs.

Global flags:
- --color (auto|always|never) for explicit color control
- --quiet/-q to suppress non-essential output
- Hidden Completions subcommand for bash/zsh/fish/powershell
Flag negation (--no-X) with overrides_with for: has-due, asc, open
(issues/mrs), force/full (ingest/sync), check (stats), explain (search),
retry-failed (embed). Enables scripted flag composition where later flags
override earlier ones.
Validation:
- value_parser on search --mode, --type, --fts-mode for early rejection
- Remove requires="check" from --repair (auto-enabled in handler)
Polish:
- help_heading groups (Filters, Sorting, Output, Actions) on issues,
mrs, and search args for cleaner --help output
- Hide Backup, Reset, and Completions from --help

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.
