feat(storage): add configurable index storage and content retention tiers (#3060)
* feat(storage): add configurable index storage and content retention tiers

Rebase #3060 onto current origin/main. Keep GITNEXUS_STORAGE_PATH,
GITNEXUS_STORAGE_ROOT, and GITNEXUS_CONTENT_RETENTION, and fold in
main's FTS skip, embed-session, and help-text updates.

* Address PR review feedback (#3060)

Keep legacy registry rows on the local storage fallback, resolve
symlinks before the destructive-path guard, and align hook lookup
with CLI branch slugs, branch-slot metadata, and longest-path match.

* Address PR review feedback (#3060)

Only list swept upload directories after a successful removal so
callers cannot treat a permission or transient rm failure as gone.

* Address PR review feedback (#3060)

Document that getStoragePath may consult registered storage while
this module still does not mutate the global registry.

* fix(storage): close review findings for external indexes and retention

Re-inspect ownership under the analyze lock, fail-closed when the
registry file is missing, and keep skip-git hook discovery plus
retention fields on HTTP/MCP list surfaces. /api/file stays 410
unless contentRetention is full.

* chore(autofix): apply prettier + eslint fixes via /autofix command

* Address PR review feedback (#3060)

Treat lock-only index dirs as empty, honor HTTP --force storage policy, and prefer registered plus branch-aware slots in hooks and augment.

* Address PR review feedback (#3060)

Keep hook fallbacks inside the current worktree, compare foreign-local slots canonically, and make storage fixtures survive ownership validation.

* Fix macOS hook test expecting realpath'd registry paths.

resolveHookRepo returns the written registry path, not a filesystem realpath, so the assertion must match that.

* Address gitnexus-check warnings on hook install docs and slot tests.

The Cursor troubleshooting list omitted registry-query.cjs, and the writable-slot test only checked that isDirectory exists instead of that the path is a directory.

* Align the HTTP catalog source-scan with skippable resolveRepo validation.

resolveRepo lists fresh repos with validate: options.validateStorage !== false so DELETE can skip prune; the test still required a literal validate: true.

* Harden storage path sinks so CodeQL path-injection and ReDoS alerts clear.

Contain every filesystem probe inside the resolved storage slot with the inline path.relative idiom, reject filesystem-root slots, and trim slot basenames in linear time.

* Settle bridge stamps before writing so CI size/mtime matches stay stable.

LadybugDB can still flush into bridge.lbug after close+rename; persist whole-millisecond mtimes and wait for consecutive stats to agree so a freshly written pair matches.

* Type the settled bridge stat as fs.Stats so tsc does not see bigint.

Awaited<ReturnType<typeof fsp.stat>> collapsed the bigint overload and broke prepare/typecheck on CI.

* Keep the bridge mtime stamp exact so same-size swaps still fail the pair check.

* Wrap the bridge stamp predicate so prettier --check stays green.

* Require a quiet interval before stamping a settled bridge file.

* Reuse shared storage and settle helpers instead of local copies.

# GitNexus CLI Commands
Commands below use `node .gitnexus/run.cjs <command>` — the project-local runner `gitnexus analyze` drops next to the index. It auto-selects an available runner at call time (global `gitnexus`, else `pnpm dlx`, else `bunx`, else `npx`), so no package-manager assumption and no global install is required — including on a bun-only machine, which has no npm, npx or pnpm at all.
> **Not analyzed yet, or `node .gitnexus/run.cjs` reports `Cannot find module`** (the gitignored runner is absent — e.g. a fresh clone or `git clean`)? (Re)generate it with `npx gitnexus analyze` from the project root, or `bunx gitnexus@latest analyze` on a bun-only machine. On **npm 11.x**, if `npx` crashes during install (`node.target is null`), install once with `npm i -g gitnexus` (then `gitnexus analyze`), or use `bunx gitnexus@latest analyze`, or `pnpm --allow-build=@ladybugdb/core --allow-build=gitnexus --allow-build=tree-sitter dlx gitnexus@latest analyze`. See [#1939](https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus/issues/1939).
## Commands
### analyze — Build or refresh the index
```bash
node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze
```
Run from the project root. This parses all source files, builds the knowledge graph, writes it to `.gitnexus/`, and generates CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md context files.
| Flag | Effect |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--watch` | Keep a Git repository index current with serialized refreshes |
| `--debounce <ms>` | Watch quiet period before refresh (default: 300 ms) |
| `--force` | Force full re-index even if up to date |
| `--embeddings` | Enable embedding generation for semantic search (off by default) |
| `--drop-embeddings` | Drop existing embeddings on rebuild. By default, an `analyze` without `--embeddings` preserves them. |
| `--pdg` | Build the program-dependence layers used by `explain` and `pdg_query` (taint, CDG, and REACHING_DEF). |
| `--spring-actuator <path>` | Import opt-in Spring Boot Actuator mappings, beans, conditions, configprops, and env snapshots. Forces a full rebuild; unsupported with `--watch`. |
| `--asyncapi-spec <path>` | Read opt-in AsyncAPI 3.x documents (directory or single file) and mint `Destination` nodes from their operations. 2.x is refused, not mapped. Unsupported with `--watch`. |
**When to run:** First time in a project, after major code changes, or when `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context` reports the index is stale. In Claude Code, a PostToolUse hook detects staleness after `git commit` and `git merge` and notifies the agent to run `analyze` — the hook does not run analyze itself, to avoid blocking the agent for up to 120s and risking KuzuDB corruption on timeout.
For Spring runtime enrichment, pass a JSON bundle, one endpoint JSON file, or a directory containing endpoint files. Route evidence is authoritative only when `runtimeConfirmed === true`; `runtimeSource` records provenance and may also accompany `handler-conflict`. Env/configprops values are never persisted.
## Index storage and retention
Default location is `<repo>/.gitnexus/`. Override with environment variables (also documented in README):
| Env | Effect |
| --- | ------ |
| `GITNEXUS_STORAGE_PATH` | One complete external index directory. Wins if both storage vars are set. |
| `GITNEXUS_STORAGE_ROOT` | Absolute root; GitNexus creates an isolated `<repo-basename>-<12-hex>/` slot per repository. |
| `GITNEXUS_CONTENT_RETENTION` | `full` (default) keeps file text; `symbol` keeps snippets; `none` keeps the graph only. |
`list_repos`, `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context`, and HTTP `GET /api/repos` / `GET /api/repo` expose `storagePath`, `contentRetention`, and `sourceAvailable`. HTTP `/api/file` and `/api/grep` return 410 unless retention is `full`. MCP `include_content` may still return symbol spans when retention is `symbol`.
Use `node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze --watch` for a long-lived local Git repository. It performs an initial analysis, queues scanner-admitted file changes, and retries intact failed batches with bounded backoff. Watch refreshes update only the graph: they skip AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md injection and standard skill installation, so run a one-shot `analyze` when those generated files need updating. Watch rejects one-shot or context-output flags including `--force`, embedding flags, `--skills`, `--default-branch`, `--skip-agents-md`, `--skip-skills`, `--no-stats`, `--self-commit`, `--index-only`, and `--skip-git`. It never pulls remotes. Scheduled remote clone/pull is a different command: `gitnexus auto-sync`. Bare `gitnexus watch` is reserved and does not start either job. Running MCP and `serve` processes periodically check for a published replacement and reopen it without a restart. MCP checks are throttled to once every five seconds, so a tool call before the next check can briefly use the previous index.
### status — Check index freshness
```bash
node .gitnexus/run.cjs 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
node .gitnexus/run.cjs 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
node .gitnexus/run.cjs wiki
```
Generates repository documentation from the knowledge graph using an LLM. HTTP providers require an API key (saved to `~/.gitnexus/config.json` on first use). Local CLI providers (`--provider cursor|claude|codex|opencode|grok`) use your existing CLI login.
| Flag | Effect |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `--force` | Force full regeneration, also required to re-generate an existing wiki in a different language |
| `--provider <name>` | LLM provider: minimax, openai, openrouter, azure, custom, cursor, claude, codex, opencode, or grok (default: minimax). Local CLIs (`cursor`, `claude`, `codex`, `opencode`, `grok`) use your existing CLI login and skip `--api-key`. |
| `--model <model>` | LLM model (default: MiniMax-M3) |
| `--base-url <url>` | LLM API base URL |
| `--api-key <key>` | LLM API key |
| `--concurrency <n>` | Parallel LLM calls (default: 3) |
| `--timeout <seconds>` | LLM request timeout in seconds (default: disabled) |
| `--retries <n>` | Max LLM retry attempts per request (default: 3) |
| `--lang <lang>` | Output language for generated documentation (e.g. english, chinese, spanish, japanese) |
| `--gist` | Publish wiki as a public GitHub Gist |
### list — Show all indexed repos
```bash
node .gitnexus/run.cjs 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**: Wait for the next MCP tool call to reopen the published index; this normally takes no more than five seconds
- **Embeddings slow**: Omit `--embeddings` (it's off by default) or set `OPENAI_API_KEY` for faster API-based embedding
