docs: update CLI/server/policy docs for the v1 config schema reshape
Rewrites the `omnigraph.yaml` schema reference and the CLI/policy/server config
examples for `version: 1`: `cli:` -> `defaults:`, `server:` -> `serve:` (with the
`graphs:` list), top-level `policy:`/`queries:` -> per-graph, `project:` removed,
`uri:` -> `storage:`. Adds a legacy-spelling migration table and notes the legacy
fallbacks. Updates testing.md's config-test inventory.

# CLI Reference (`omnigraph`)
A reference for the `omnigraph` binary's command surface and `omnigraph.yaml` schema. For a quick-start guide, see [cli.md](cli.md).
17 top-level command families, 40+ subcommands. All commands accept either a positional `URI`, `--uri`, or a `--graph <name>` resolved against `omnigraph.yaml`.
## Top-level commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `init` | `--schema <pg>` → initialize a graph (also scaffolds `omnigraph.yaml` if missing) |
| `load` | bulk load a branch (`--mode overwrite\|append\|merge`) |
| `ingest` | branch-creating transactional load (`--from <base>`) |
| `query` (alias: `read`) | run named read query; source via `--query <path>`, `-e`/`--query-string <GQ>`, or `--alias <name>` (exactly one). `read` is the deprecated previous name and prints a one-line warning to stderr |
| `mutate` (alias: `change`) | run mutation query; same `--query` / `-e` / `--alias` mutual-exclusion as `query`. `change` is the deprecated previous name and prints a one-line warning to stderr |
| `snapshot` | print current snapshot (per-table version + row count) |
| `export` | dump to JSONL on stdout (`--type T`, `--table K` filters) |
| `branch create \| list \| delete \| merge` | branching ops |
| `commit list \| show` | inspect commit graph |
| `run list \| show \| publish \| abort` | transactional run ops |
| `schema plan \| apply \| show (alias: get)` | migrations |
| `lint` (alias: `check`) | offline / graph-backed query validation. Replaces `query lint` / `query check`, which are kept as deprecated argv-level shims that print a one-line warning and rewrite to `omnigraph lint` |
| `queries validate \| list` | operate on the server-side stored-query registry (the `queries:` block). `validate` type-checks every stored query against the live schema offline (opens the selected graph; exits non-zero on any breakage), catching schema drift without restarting the server; `list` prints the selected registry's query names, MCP exposure, and typed params. For per-graph registries, pass `--graph <graph>` or set `defaults.graph`; with no graph selection, `list` shows only top-level `queries:`. Distinct from `lint`, which validates a single `.gq` file |
| `optimize` | non-destructive Lance compaction (skips tables with `Blob` columns; `--json` reports a `skipped` field) |
| `cleanup --keep N --older-than 7d --confirm` | destructive version GC |
| `embed` | offline JSONL embedding pipeline |
| `policy validate \| test \| explain` | Cedar tooling. Selects `defaults.graph`, else `serve.graphs`, else top-level `policy.file` |
| `version` / `-v` | print `omnigraph 0.3.x` |
## `omnigraph.yaml` schema
```yaml
version: 1 # omit for the legacy schema (lenient, deprecation-warned);
# `1` = strict: unknown/typo'd keys, and the removed legacy
# keys (`project:`, `cli:`, `server:`, top-level
# `policy:`/`queries:`), are rejected at any depth
servers: # named remote endpoints (referenced by graphs.<>.server)
<name>: { endpoint: <https://host:port> }
graphs:
<name>:
# Embedded XOR remote. Embedded → `storage:`; remote → `server:` (+ optional `graph_id:`).
storage: <local|s3://> # embedded; a bare string, or a block { uri, region, endpoint }
# server: <name> # remote: a `servers:` entry (mutually exclusive with storage)
# graph_id: <id> # the graph's id on that server (defaults to the entry key)
# uri: <local|s3://|http(s)://> # DEPRECATED legacy spelling of storage/server; warns at load
bearer_token_env: <ENV_NAME>
branch: <name> # optional default branch
snapshot: <version> # optional read-pinned snapshot
policy: { file: <policy.yaml> } # per-graph Cedar policy (embedded graphs only)
queries: # per-graph stored-query registry (server-role; multi-graph mode)
<query-name>: # key MUST equal the `query <name>` symbol inside the .gq
file: <path-to-.gq> # relative to this config's directory
mcp:
expose: true # default true: listed in the MCP catalog (GET /queries); set false to hide (still HTTP-callable)
tool_name: <name> # optional MCP tool-name override (defaults to <query-name>;
# must be unique across exposed queries)
serve: # host-role serving config (was `server:`)
graphs: [<name>] # served set; one entry = single-graph mode, omit = serve all
bind: <ip:port>
policy: { file: <server-policy.yaml> } # server-level Cedar (management endpoints)
defaults: # CLI/client defaults (was `cli:`)
graph: <name>
branch: <name>
output_format: json|jsonl|csv|kv|table
table_max_column_width: 80
table_cell_layout: truncate|wrap
query:
roots: [<dir>, …] # search path for .gq files
auth:
env_file: ./.env.omni
aliases:
<alias>:
# accepted values: `read` / `query` (read alias), `change` / `mutate`
# (write alias). `query` and `mutate` are recommended; `read` and
# `change` remain accepted forever for back-compat.

```
**Legacy spellings** (honored only when `version:` is omitted; each emits a load-time deprecation warning, and is rejected under `version: 1`):
| Legacy | v1 |
|---|---|
| `cli:` | `defaults:` |
| `server:` (`graph:` scalar) | `serve:` (`graphs:` list) |
| top-level `policy:` | `graphs.<name>.policy` |
| top-level `queries:` | `graphs.<name>.queries` |
| `project:` | removed (no consumer) |
| `uri:` | `storage:` (embedded) / `server:` (remote) |
## Output formats (`query` command, alias: `read`)
- `json` — pretty-printed object with metadata + rows
- `jsonl` — one metadata line then one JSON object per row
- `csv` — RFC 4180-ish quoting
- `table` — fitted text table, honors `table_max_column_width` + `table_cell_layout`
- `kv` — grouped per-row key/value blocks
## Param resolution
Precedence (high to low): explicit `--params` / `--params-file`, alias positional args, `omnigraph.yaml` defaults. JS-safe-integer handling is built in (`is_js_safe_integer_i64`, `JS_MAX_SAFE_INTEGER_U64`) so 64-bit ids round-trip safely through JSON clients.
## Bearer token resolution (CLI)
1. `graphs.<name>.bearer_token_env`
2. `OMNIGRAPH_BEARER_TOKEN` global env
3. `auth.env_file` referenced `.env`
## Duration parsing (cleanup)
`s | m | h | d | w` units, e.g. `--older-than 7d`.
