google-labs-jules[bot] c3865faf56 feat(search): Add full-text search and indexing for archives
This commit introduces two new commands: `borg search` and `borg index`.

The `borg index` command builds a trigram index for an archive, which can be used to significantly speed up searches.

The `borg search` command allows users to search for patterns within archives. It supports regular expressions, context control, file type filtering, and result limits. The command will automatically use a pre-built index if one is available, falling back to a full scan if not.

This commit also includes:
- Unit tests for the new commands.
- Documentation for the new commands in `docs/cli.md`.
- Updates to `.gitignore` to exclude index files.
- Improvements to the test infrastructure to prevent state pollution.

# CLI Usage
`borg` is a command-line tool for collecting repositories, websites, and PWAs into portable data artifacts (DataNodes) or Terminal Isolation Matrices.
Use `borg --help` and `borg <command> --help` to see all flags.
## Top-level
- `borg --help`
- `borg --version`
## Commands
### collect
Collect and package inputs.
Subcommands:
- `borg collect github repo <repo-url> [--output <file>] [--format datanode|tim|trix] [--compression none|gz|xz]`
- `borg collect github release <release-url> [--output <file>]`
- `borg collect github repos <org-or-user> [--output <file>] [--format ...] [--compression ...]`
- `borg collect website <url> [--depth N] [--output <file>] [--format ...] [--compression ...]`
- `borg collect pwa --uri <url> [--output <file>] [--format ...] [--compression ...]`
Examples:
- `borg collect github repo https://github.com/Snider/Borg --output borg.dat`
- `borg collect website https://example.com --depth 1 --output site.dat`
- `borg collect pwa --uri https://squoosh.app --output squoosh.dat`
### all
Collect all public repositories from a GitHub user or organization.
- `borg all <url> [--output <file>]`
Example:
- `borg all https://github.com/Snider --output snider.dat`
### compile
Compile a Borgfile into a Terminal Isolation Matrix (TIM).
- `borg compile [--file <Borgfile>] [--output <file>]`
Example:
- `borg compile --file Borgfile --output a.tim`
### run
Execute a Terminal Isolation Matrix (TIM).
- `borg run <tim-file>`
Example:
- `borg run a.tim`
### serve
Serve a packaged DataNode or TIM via a static file server.
- `borg serve <file> [--port 8080]`
Examples:
- `borg serve squoosh.dat --port 8888`
- `borg serve borg.tim --port 9999`
### decode
Decode a `.trix` or `.tim` file back into a DataNode (`.dat`).
- `borg decode <file> [--output <file>] [--password <password>]`
Examples:
- `borg decode borg.trix --output borg.dat --password "secret"`
- `borg decode borg.tim --output borg.dat --i-am-in-isolation`
### index
Build a search index for an archive to speed up searches.
- `borg index <archive-file>`
Example:
- `borg index my-project.dat`
This will create a `.borg-index` directory next to the archive.
### search
Search for a pattern within an archive. Uses a pre-built index if available.
- `borg search <archive-file> <pattern>`
Flags:
- `--regex`: Treat the pattern as a regular expression.
- `-C, --context N`: Show N lines of context before and after each match.
- `--type <ext>`: Filter search by file extension (e.g., `go`, `md`).
- `--max-results N`: Limit the number of results returned.
Examples:
- `borg search my-project.dat "TODO:"`
- `borg search my-project.dat "func.*main" --regex --type go`
- `borg search my-project.dat "important" -C 3`
## Compression
All collect commands accept `--compression` with values:
- `none` (default)
- `gz`
- `xz`
Output filenames gain the appropriate extension automatically.
## Formats
Borg supports three output formats via the `--format` flag:
- `datanode`: A simple tarball containing the collected resources. (Default)
- `tim`: Terminal Isolation Matrix, a runc-compatible bundle.
- `trix`: Encrypted and structured file format.
