km upgrade

Migrates the graph schema between versions. Runs automatically on connect, but can be triggered manually:

km upgrade
# Current schema: v3
# Target schema:  v4
# ✓ v3 → v4: Add content_hash to Chunk nodes for deduplication
# ✓ Upgraded to v4

km prune

Removes stale and orphaned data:

km prune --dry-run          # preview what would be removed
km prune                    # actually remove
km prune --older-than 60    # remove chunks not seen in 60 days

km who-owns

Shows file ownership based on git blame weighted by recency:

km who-owns src/auth/service.py
# src/auth/service.py
#   Owner: Alex (weight: 0.85)

Weighting: last 30 days = 3x, 30-90 days = 2x, older = 1x.
