feat(pi-fff): add gitRepoOnly option to skip non-git directories - #997
Add an opt-in gitRepoOnly setting (--fff-git-repo-only / FFF_GIT_REPO_ONLY / "gitRepoOnly" in pi-fff.json, default false) that skips workspace indexing when pi is launched outside a Git repository (such as $HOME, ~/Downloads, or parent workspace folders without .gitignore boundaries).
scanOptOutReason(cwd)
if !enableHomeDirScanning && isHomeDir(cwd) -> opt-out reason
if !enableFsRootScanning && isFsRoot(cwd) -> opt-out reason
+ if gitRepoOnly && !isGitRepo(cwd) -> opt-out reason
return null

Evidence
Before: Launching pi in a large non-git directory (e.g. ~/Developer or $HOME) unconditionally spawns a FileFinder and blocks session_start up to SCAN_TIMEOUT_MS (15s) unless the directory happens to be exact $HOME or /.
After: With gitRepoOnly: true, non-git directories are skipped immediately via scanOptOutReason(cwd) and keep built-in grep/find reachable in override mode.
$ cd packages/pi-fff && bun test
133 pass, 0 fail, 463 expect() calls
Ran 133 tests across 8 files. [251.00ms]
$ bunx oxfmt --check src test && bunx oxlint src test
All matched files use the correct format.
Merge Danger
Door: Two-way
Opt-in boolean setting defaulting to false; existing behavior is unchanged unless gitRepoOnly is explicitly enabled.
Blast Radius: Low
Scoped entirely to packages/pi-fff startup configuration and scanOptOutReason(cwd).
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added an option to restrict FFF search to sessions started inside a Git repository. Configure it with gitRepoOnly, the --fff-git-repo-only flag, or the equivalent environment variable.
When enabled outside a Git repository, FFF search is disabled for that session and displays a warning. In override mode, the ffgrep and fffind names remain available.
Adds the gitRepoOnly option and Git repository detection. When enabled, startup outside a Git repository disables FFF search and reports a warning. The option can be set through configuration, an environment variable, or a command-line flag.
Adds isGitRepo, which checks the starting directory and its ancestors for valid Git metadata. Tests cover .git directories, worktree-style .git files, and invalid or missing markers.
Startup configuration and search opt-out packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts, packages/pi-fff/test/extension.test.ts
Resolves the option from the flag, environment, or config. When enabled outside a repository, startup skips finder creation and reports a warning. Tests cover the opt-out and setting precedence.

end
The change is mergeable after normal checks. A narrowly malformed Git marker can bypass the opt-out setting, but no material disruption is established.

Remove doc comments from private helpers
The new JSDoc on the module-private validateBoolean violates the root AGENTS.md rule, "Do not add doc comments to the private structs and functions." The same issue is introduced on hasGitMetadata, resolveStartupConfig, and scanOptOutReason; remove these private-function docblocks, using concise ordinary comments only where needed.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Worktree gitfile is not validated.
A .git file with gitdir: is accepted without checking that the target exists. A stale worktree or a stray file passes as a repository. Then FFF indexes it. The failure is narrow, and the fallback is safe. Optionally resolve the target against path.dirname(dotGit) and check it exists, per the learning on relative gitdir: paths.
A directory that contains only HEAD also passes. This is acceptable for the stated goal.
