> ¹ **Antigravity hooks** follow the [Gemini CLI hooks reference](https://geminicli.com/docs/hooks/reference/) (Antigravity 2.0 is the documented successor to Gemini CLI). Augmentation runs in `AfterTool` because `BeforeTool` has no context-injection channel in the Gemini contract — the agent sees graph context appended to the tool result via `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`. Stale-index hints land in the same channel after a successful `git commit/merge/rebase/cherry-pick/pull`. The schema may evolve if Antigravity-specific hook docs diverge from Gemini CLI's; the implementation will track those changes.

Most `analyze` knobs are also CLI flags (`--workers`, `--worker-timeout`, `--max-file-size`, `--verbose`). Use the env-var form when you'd otherwise repeat the same flag every run, or when invoking GitNexus from a long-running host (MCP server, eval-server, CI shell) that already manages its own environment. CLI flags take precedence over env vars; env vars take precedence over built-in defaults.
-| Variable | Default | Effect | Tune when… |
-| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `GITNEXUS_WORKER_POOL_SIZE` | `cores - 1`, capped at 16 | Parse worker pool size (must be ≥ 1). Equivalent to `--workers `. The worker pool is the sole parse path — there is no sequential parser, so `0` is rejected with an actionable error (the pool self-heals via quarantine + respawn). | Constrained containers (cgroup CPU limits) or CI runners with explicit quotas. To narrow down a worker crash set `1` for a single-worker pool — not `0`. |
-| `GITNEXUS_PARSE_CHUNK_CONCURRENCY` | `2` | Number of chunks whose file contents may be read into memory in parallel while the pool dispatches the current chunk. Worker dispatch itself stays serial. | Repos large enough to chunk (multi-MB total source) where disk I/O is a measurable fraction of analyze wall-clock. |
-| `GITNEXUS_VERBOSE` | unset | When `1`, enables verbose ingestion logs (skipped-file warnings, per-chunk throughput, parse-cache stats). Equivalent to `--verbose`. | Debugging an analyze that "completed" but seems to have missed files; tuning `--workers` / chunk concurrency against observable throughput. |
-| `GITNEXUS_PROFILE_DEFERRED` | unset | When `1`, emits `[deferred-profile]` timing/progress logs for the post-chunk deferred resolution band (imports → heritage → buildHeritageMap → legacy call resolution). Implied by `GITNEXUS_VERBOSE`. | Diagnosing analyze stalls in "Resolving calls (all chunks)" on large Java/Kotlin repos (issue #1741) without the full verbose ingestion noise. |
-| `GITNEXUS_PROFILE_DEFERRED_SLOW_MS` | `3000` (verbose) / `5000` | Per-file threshold in ms above which `processCallsFromExtracted` emits a `slow file …` log line. Parsed via `Number()`: accepts integers (`5000`), scientific notation (`2.5e3`), decimals (`.5`), and hex (`0x10`). Non-finite or non-positive values fall back to the default. | Hunting a few outlier files dominating the deferred call-resolution stage; lower to surface more, raise to focus only on the worst. |
-| `PROF_LBUG_LOAD` | unset | When `1`, emits one `[lbug-load prof]` summary line per `loadGraphToLbug` call breaking the graph-DB persistence wall into stages (`csv-emit` / `copy-nodes` / `copy-rels` / `fallback` / `total`) plus node & edge counts. Zero-cost when unset. | Attributing large-repo analyze wall time across CSV generation vs. LadybugDB `COPY` (issue #2203) — the analyze "emit" timing is the scope-resolution bucket, not this DB-write path. |
-| `GITNEXUS_MAX_FILE_SIZE` | `512` (KB) | Walker skip threshold in KB. Hard cap is `32768` (tree-sitter buffer ceiling). Equivalent to `--max-file-size `. | Indexing repos with intentionally-large source files (generated parsers, vendored bundles) that should still be parsed. |
-| `GITNEXUS_WORKER_SUB_BATCH_TIMEOUT_MS` | `30000` | Worker idle timeout in milliseconds before retry/fallback. Equivalent to `--worker-timeout ` × 1000. | Slow-parsing files (large minified JS, deeply-nested TS types) that legitimately need more than 30s. |
-| `GITNEXUS_FTS_STEMMER` | `porter` | Stemmer used when rebuilding BM25/FTS indexes. Use `none` for CJK-heavy repositories, or a language stemmer such as `german`, `french`, or `spanish` for matching repository comments. Re-run `gitnexus analyze --repair-fts` after changing it. | Keyword search quality is poor for non-English comments or identifiers under English stemming. |
-| `GITNEXUS_WAL_CHECKPOINT_THRESHOLD` | `67108864` (64 MiB) | LadybugDB WAL auto-checkpoint threshold in bytes. Equivalent to `--wal-checkpoint-threshold `. `-1` keeps LadybugDB's stock threshold (~16 MiB). Larger thresholds reduce checkpoint frequency but increase the WAL size at rotation time — choose a smaller value on disk-constrained environments. | You need a larger or smaller WAL auto-checkpoint threshold for your analyze workload. |
-| `GITNEXUS_WORKER_SUB_BATCH_MAX_BYTES` | `8388608` (8 MB) | Per-job byte budget the pool will send to a worker in one `postMessage`. | Very large individual files; mostly diagnostic — bumping past 8 MB risks structured-clone memory pressure. |
-| `GITNEXUS_WORKER_MAX_RESPAWNS_PER_SLOT` | `3` | Max replacement spawns per worker slot before the slot is dropped from the active rotation. Bounds respawn loops on a chronically-crashing slot. | Hosts where a flaky worker should retry more (raise) or fail-fast (lower) before the slot is dropped. |
-| `GITNEXUS_WORKER_MAX_CUMULATIVE_TIMEOUT_MS` | `5 × subBatchTimeoutMs` | Total retry wall-time budget per job before quarantining. Combined with `timeoutBackoffFactor`, prevents exponentially-growing retries from stalling for hours. | Slow files that legitimately need long total retry windows; lower to fail-fast on stalls. |
-| `GITNEXUS_WORKER_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURE_THRESHOLD`| `max(3, poolSize)` | Per-slot consecutive deaths before the pool's circuit breaker trips. After tripping, every subsequent dispatch rejects until a fresh pool is created. | Hosts where a SIGSEGV-prone native grammar should trip the breaker sooner; CI runners that should fail loudly. |
-| `GITNEXUS_CHUNK_BYTE_BUDGET` | `2097152` (2 MB) | Chunk boundary used for cache-key composition and dispatch. Smaller = finer-grained cache hits but more dispatch overhead. | Tuning incremental-analyze cache behavior on monorepos. |
-| `GITNEXUS_NO_GITIGNORE` | unset | When set, skips `.gitignore` parsing. `.gitnexusignore` is still honored. | Indexing a repo whose `.gitignore` excludes files you actually want indexed (e.g., generated code committed for cross-repo lookup). |
-| `GITNEXUS_SKIP_OPTIONAL_GRAMMARS` | unset | When `=1` strictly, skips the vendored grammar materialize for `tree-sitter-dart`, `tree-sitter-proto`, `tree-sitter-swift`, and `tree-sitter-kotlin` at install time (and the Dart/Proto source builds). Those four won't be parsed; the install still succeeds. | Installing on a host without a C++ toolchain or where the vendored prebuilds don't match; willing to skip Dart/Proto/Swift/Kotlin parsing. |
