feat: add Factory AI plugin (gitnexus-factory-plugin)

Port of gitnexus-claude-plugin adapted for Factory AI's plugin format: - .factory-plugin/ manifest directory - ${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT} hook variable - Root-level mcp.json (no dot prefix) - PostToolUse hook (Factory PreToolUse doesn't support additionalContext) - Execute tool name (Factory equivalent of Claude Code's Bash)

+description: "Use when the user needs to run GitNexus CLI commands like analyze/index a repo, check status, clean the index, generate a wiki, or list indexed repos. Examples: \"Index this repo\", \"Reanalyze the codebase\", \"Generate a wiki\""
+---
+
+# GitNexus CLI Commands
+
+All commands work via `npx` — no global install required.
+
+## Commands
+
+### analyze — Build or refresh the index
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus analyze
+```
+
+Run from the project root. This parses all source files, builds the knowledge graph, writes it to `.gitnexus/`, and generates FACTORY.md / AGENTS.md context files.
+
+| Flag | Effect |
+|------|--------|
+| `--force` | Force full re-index even if up to date |
+| `--embeddings` | Enable embedding generation for semantic search (off by default) |
+
+**When to run:** First time in a project, after major code changes, or when `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context` reports the index is stale.
+
+### status — Check index freshness
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus status
+```
+
+Shows whether the current repo has a GitNexus index, when it was last updated, and symbol/relationship counts. Use this to check if re-indexing is needed.
+
+### clean — Delete the index
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus clean
+```
+
+Deletes the `.gitnexus/` directory and unregisters the repo from the global registry. Use before re-indexing if the index is corrupt or after removing GitNexus from a project.
+
+| Flag | Effect |
+|------|--------|
+| `--force` | Skip confirmation prompt |
+| `--all` | Clean all indexed repos, not just the current one |
+
+### wiki — Generate documentation from the graph
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus wiki
+```
+
+Generates repository documentation from the knowledge graph using an LLM. Requires an API key (saved to `~/.gitnexus/config.json` on first use).
+
+| Flag | Effect |
+|------|--------|
+| `--force` | Force full regeneration |
+| `--model <model>` | LLM model (default: minimax/minimax-m2.5) |
+| `--base-url <url>` | LLM API base URL |
+| `--api-key <key>` | LLM API key |
+| `--concurrency <n>` | Parallel LLM calls (default: 3) |
+| `--gist` | Publish wiki as a public GitHub Gist |
+
+### list — Show all indexed repos
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus list
+```
+
+Lists all repositories registered in `~/.gitnexus/registry.json`. The MCP `list_repos` tool provides the same information.
+
+## After Indexing
+
+1. **Read `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context`** to verify the index loaded
+2. Use the other GitNexus skills (`exploring`, `debugging`, `impact-analysis`, `refactoring`) for your task
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **"Not inside a git repository"**: Run from a directory inside a git repo
+- **Index is stale after re-analyzing**: Restart Factory AI (droid) to reload the MCP server
+- **Embeddings slow**: Omit `--embeddings` (it's off by default) or set `OPENAI_API_KEY` for faster API-based embedding

+---
+
+# Debugging with GitNexus
+
+## When to Use
+
+- "Why is this function failing?"
+- "Trace where this error comes from"
+- "Who calls this method?"
+- "This endpoint returns 500"
+- Investigating bugs, errors, or unexpected behavior
+
+## Workflow
+
+```
+1. gitnexus_query({query: "<error or symptom>"})            → Find related execution flows
+2. gitnexus_context({name: "<suspect>"})                    → See callers/callees/processes
+3. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name}                → Trace execution flow
+4. gitnexus_cypher({query: "MATCH path..."})                 → Custom traces if needed
+```
+
+> If "Index is stale" → run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal.
+
+## Checklist
+
+```
+- [ ] Understand the symptom (error message, unexpected behavior)
+- [ ] gitnexus_query for error text or related code
+- [ ] Identify the suspect function from returned processes
+- [ ] gitnexus_context to see callers and callees
+- [ ] Trace execution flow via process resource if applicable
+- [ ] gitnexus_cypher for custom call chain traces if needed
+- [ ] Read source files to confirm root cause
+```
+
+## Debugging Patterns
+
+| Symptom              | GitNexus Approach                                          |
+| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Error message        | `gitnexus_query` for error text → `context` on throw sites |
+| Wrong return value   | `context` on the function → trace callees for data flow    |
+| Intermittent failure | `context` → look for external calls, async deps            |
+| Performance issue    | `context` → find symbols with many callers (hot paths)     |
+| Recent regression    | `detect_changes` to see what your changes affect           |
+
+## Tools
+
+**gitnexus_query** — find code related to error:
+
+```
+gitnexus_query({query: "payment validation error"})
+→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling
+→ Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError, PaymentException
+```
+
+**gitnexus_context** — full context for a suspect:
+
+```
+gitnexus_context({name: "validatePayment"})
+→ Incoming calls: processCheckout, webhookHandler
+→ Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)
+→ Processes: CheckoutFlow (step 3/7)
+```
+
+**gitnexus_cypher** — custom call chain traces:
+
+```cypher
+MATCH path = (a)-[:CodeRelation {type: 'CALLS'}*1..2]->(b:Function {name: "validatePayment"})
+RETURN [n IN nodes(path) | n.name] AS chain
+```
+
+## Example: "Payment endpoint returns 500 intermittently"
+
+```
+1. gitnexus_query({query: "payment error handling"})
+   → Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling
+   → Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError
+
+2. gitnexus_context({name: "validatePayment"})
+   → Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)
+
+3. READ gitnexus://repo/my-app/process/CheckoutFlow
+   → Step 3: validatePayment → calls fetchRates (external)
+
+4. Root cause: fetchRates calls external API without proper timeout

+| ------------------------------ | -------- |
+| <5 symbols, few processes      | LOW      |
+| 5-15 symbols, 2-5 processes    | MEDIUM   |
+| >15 symbols or many processes  | HIGH     |
+| Critical path (auth, payments) | CRITICAL |
+
+## Tools
+
+**gitnexus_impact** — the primary tool for symbol blast radius:
+
+```
+gitnexus_impact({
+  target: "validateUser",
+  direction: "upstream",
+  minConfidence: 0.8,
+  maxDepth: 3
+})
+
+→ d=1 (WILL BREAK):
+  - loginHandler (src/auth/login.ts:42) [CALLS, 100%]
+  - apiMiddleware (src/api/middleware.ts:15) [CALLS, 100%]
+
+→ d=2 (LIKELY AFFECTED):
+  - authRouter (src/routes/auth.ts:22) [CALLS, 95%]
+```
+
+**gitnexus_detect_changes** — git-diff based impact analysis:
+
+```
+gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "staged"})
+
+→ Changed: 5 symbols in 3 files
+→ Affected: LoginFlow, TokenRefresh, APIMiddlewarePipeline
+→ Risk: MEDIUM
+```
+
+## Example: "What breaks if I change validateUser?"
+
+```
+1. gitnexus_impact({target: "validateUser", direction: "upstream"})
+   → d=1: loginHandler, apiMiddleware (WILL BREAK)
+   → d=2: authRouter, sessionManager (LIKELY AFFECTED)
+
+2. READ gitnexus://repo/my-app/processes
+   → LoginFlow and TokenRefresh touch validateUser
+
+3. Risk: 2 direct callers, 2 processes = MEDIUM

+---
+
+# PR Review with GitNexus
+
+## When to Use
+
+- "Review this PR"
+- "What does PR #42 change?"
+- "Is this safe to merge?"
+- "What's the blast radius of this PR?"
+- "Are there missing tests for this PR?"
+- Reviewing someone else's code changes before merge
+
+## Workflow
+
+```
+1. gh pr diff <number>                                    → Get the raw diff
+2. gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "compare", base_ref: "main"})  → Map diff to affected flows
+3. For each changed symbol:
+   gitnexus_impact({target: "<symbol>", direction: "upstream"})    → Blast radius per change
+4. gitnexus_context({name: "<key symbol>"})               → Understand callers/callees
+5. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/processes                   → Check affected execution flows
+6. Summarize findings with risk assessment
+```
+
+> If "Index is stale" → run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal before reviewing.
+
+## Checklist
+
+```
+- [ ] Fetch PR diff (gh pr diff or git diff base...head)
+- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes to map changes to affected execution flows
+- [ ] gitnexus_impact on each non-trivial changed symbol
+- [ ] Review d=1 items (WILL BREAK) — are callers updated?
+- [ ] gitnexus_context on key changed symbols to understand full picture
+- [ ] Check if affected processes have test coverage
+- [ ] Assess overall risk level
+- [ ] Write review summary with findings
+```
+
+## Review Dimensions
+
+| Dimension | How GitNexus Helps |
+| --- | --- |
+| **Correctness** | `context` shows callers — are they all compatible with the change? |
+| **Blast radius** | `impact` shows d=1/d=2/d=3 dependents — anything missed? |
+| **Completeness** | `detect_changes` shows all affected flows — are they all handled? |
+| **Test coverage** | `impact({includeTests: true})` shows which tests touch changed code |
+| **Breaking changes** | d=1 upstream items that aren't updated in the PR = potential breakage |
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+| Signal | Risk |
+| --- | --- |
+| Changes touch <3 symbols, 0-1 processes | LOW |
+| Changes touch 3-10 symbols, 2-5 processes | MEDIUM |
+| Changes touch >10 symbols or many processes | HIGH |
+| Changes touch auth, payments, or data integrity code | CRITICAL |
+| d=1 callers exist outside the PR diff | Potential breakage — flag it |
+
+## Tools
+
+**gitnexus_detect_changes** — map PR diff to affected execution flows:
+
+```
+gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "compare", base_ref: "main"})
+
+→ Changed: 8 symbols in 4 files
+→ Affected processes: CheckoutFlow, RefundFlow, WebhookHandler
+→ Risk: MEDIUM
+```
+
+**gitnexus_impact** — blast radius per changed symbol:
+
+```
+gitnexus_impact({target: "validatePayment", direction: "upstream"})
+
+→ d=1 (WILL BREAK):
+  - processCheckout (src/checkout.ts:42) [CALLS, 100%]
+  - webhookHandler (src/webhooks.ts:15) [CALLS, 100%]
+
+→ d=2 (LIKELY AFFECTED):
+  - checkoutRouter (src/routes/checkout.ts:22) [CALLS, 95%]
+```
+
+**gitnexus_impact with tests** — check test coverage:
+
+```
+gitnexus_impact({target: "validatePayment", direction: "upstream", includeTests: true})
+
+→ Tests that cover this symbol:
+  - validatePayment.test.ts [direct]
+  - checkout.integration.test.ts [via processCheckout]
+```
+
+**gitnexus_context** — understand a changed symbol's role:
+
+```
+gitnexus_context({name: "validatePayment"})
+
+→ Incoming calls: processCheckout, webhookHandler
+→ Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates
+→ Processes: CheckoutFlow (step 3/7), RefundFlow (step 1/5)
+```
+
+## Example: "Review PR #42"
+
+```
+1. gh pr diff 42 > /tmp/pr42.diff
+   → 4 files changed: payments.ts, checkout.ts, types.ts, utils.ts
+
+2. gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "compare", base_ref: "main"})
+   → Changed symbols: validatePayment, PaymentInput, formatAmount
+   → Affected processes: CheckoutFlow, RefundFlow
+   → Risk: MEDIUM
+
+3. gitnexus_impact({target: "validatePayment", direction: "upstream"})
+   → d=1: processCheckout, webhookHandler (WILL BREAK)
+   → webhookHandler is NOT in the PR diff — potential breakage!
+
+4. gitnexus_impact({target: "PaymentInput", direction: "upstream"})
+   → d=1: validatePayment (in PR), createPayment (NOT in PR)
+   → createPayment uses the old PaymentInput shape — breaking change!
+
+5. gitnexus_context({name: "formatAmount"})
+   → Called by 12 functions — but change is backwards-compatible (added optional param)
+
+6. Review summary:
+   - MEDIUM risk — 3 changed symbols affect 2 execution flows
+   - BUG: webhookHandler calls validatePayment but isn't updated for new signature
+   - BUG: createPayment depends on PaymentInput type which changed
+   - OK: formatAmount change is backwards-compatible
+   - Tests: checkout.test.ts covers processCheckout path, but no webhook test
+```

+---
+
+# Refactoring with GitNexus
+
+## When to Use
+
+- "Rename this function safely"
+- "Extract this into a module"
+- "Split this service"
+- "Move this to a new file"
+- Any task involving renaming, extracting, splitting, or restructuring code
+
+## Workflow
+
+```
+1. gitnexus_impact({target: "X", direction: "upstream"})  → Map all dependents
+2. gitnexus_query({query: "X"})                            → Find execution flows involving X
+3. gitnexus_context({name: "X"})                           → See all incoming/outgoing refs
+4. Plan update order: interfaces → implementations → callers → tests
+```
+
+> If "Index is stale" → run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal.
+
+## Checklists
+
+### Rename Symbol
+
+```
+- [ ] gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "oldName", new_name: "newName", dry_run: true}) — preview all edits
+- [ ] Review graph edits (high confidence) and ast_search edits (review carefully)
+- [ ] If satisfied: gitnexus_rename({..., dry_run: false}) — apply edits
+- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify only expected files changed
+- [ ] Run tests for affected processes
+```
+
+### Extract Module
+
+```
+- [ ] gitnexus_context({name: target}) — see all incoming/outgoing refs
+- [ ] gitnexus_impact({target, direction: "upstream"}) — find all external callers
+- [ ] Define new module interface
+- [ ] Extract code, update imports
+- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify affected scope
+- [ ] Run tests for affected processes
+```
+
+### Split Function/Service
+
+```
+- [ ] gitnexus_context({name: target}) — understand all callees
+- [ ] Group callees by responsibility
+- [ ] gitnexus_impact({target, direction: "upstream"}) — map callers to update
+- [ ] Create new functions/services
+- [ ] Update callers
+- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify affected scope
+- [ ] Run tests for affected processes
+```
+
+## Tools
+
+**gitnexus_rename** — automated multi-file rename:
+
+```
+gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "validateUser", new_name: "authenticateUser", dry_run: true})
+→ 12 edits across 8 files
+→ 10 graph edits (high confidence), 2 ast_search edits (review)
+→ Changes: [{file_path, edits: [{line, old_text, new_text, confidence}]}]
+```
+
+**gitnexus_impact** — map all dependents first:
+
+```
+gitnexus_impact({target: "validateUser", direction: "upstream"})
+→ d=1: loginHandler, apiMiddleware, testUtils
+→ Affected Processes: LoginFlow, TokenRefresh
+```
+
+**gitnexus_detect_changes** — verify your changes after refactoring:
+
+```
+gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "all"})
+→ Changed: 8 files, 12 symbols
+→ Affected processes: LoginFlow, TokenRefresh
+→ Risk: MEDIUM
+```
+
+**gitnexus_cypher** — custom reference queries:
+
+```cypher
+MATCH (caller)-[:CodeRelation {type: 'CALLS'}]->(f:Function {name: "validateUser"})
+RETURN caller.name, caller.filePath ORDER BY caller.filePath
+```
+
+## Risk Rules
+
+| Risk Factor         | Mitigation                                |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| Many callers (>5)   | Use gitnexus_rename for automated updates |
+| Cross-area refs     | Use detect_changes after to verify scope  |
+| String/dynamic refs | gitnexus_query to find them               |
+| External/public API | Version and deprecate properly            |
+
+## Example: Rename `validateUser` to `authenticateUser`
+
+```
+1. gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "validateUser", new_name: "authenticateUser", dry_run: true})
+   → 12 edits: 10 graph (safe), 2 ast_search (review)
+   → Files: validator.ts, login.ts, middleware.ts, config.json...
+
+2. Review ast_search edits (config.json: dynamic reference!)
+
+3. gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "validateUser", new_name: "authenticateUser", dry_run: false})
+   → Applied 12 edits across 8 files
+
+4. gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "all"})
+   → Affected: LoginFlow, TokenRefresh
+   → Risk: MEDIUM — run tests for these flows
+```
