feat(memory): add JSON index and runtime memory_lookup/read/write tools

Gives Pyra an active memory brain: memory_index.json tracks summary +
keywords per file (like an inode table), and three built-in tools let
the AI look up, read, and overwrite memory mid-session. write_memory
accepts summary/keywords; update_index() merges the JSON index without
losing existing metadata.

 ## What Is This
 
 Pyra is a personal AI assistant CLI combining a multi-provider AI chat interface with
-an automation/skills system (Stage 2+) and an encrypted vault (Stage 3+).
+a plugin/integration system (Stage 2+) and an encrypted vault (Stage 3+).
+
+## Current Status
+
+**Stage 2.1 — Plugin Framework: complete** (2026-05-17)
+Next: Stage 2.2 (Nextcloud plugin) + Stage 2.3 (Email plugin)
 
 ## Project Roadmap
 
-### Stage 1 — Core CLI (current)
+### Stage 1 — Core CLI ✅ COMPLETE
 Working `pyra` executable with provider setup wizard, streaming chat REPL, .md-based
 memory in `~/.pyra/memory/`, and hard security boundaries around the vault.
 
-### Stage 2 — Skills / Automations
+### Stage 2 — Plugin System & Integrations (IN PROGRESS)
-Shell (.sh), PowerShell (.ps1), and Python (.py) scripts in `~/.pyra/skills/`. The AI
+
-can suggest running a skill, but execution requires explicit user approval (y/n prompt).
+Pyra runs as a system daemon so messaging bots are always-on. All integrations are
-No skill can access the vault. Skills are discovered by the pyra CLI, not by the AI.
+standalone Python plugin scripts in `~/.pyra/plugins/` — not hardcoded in `src/pyra/`.
+The AI uses tool-use (function calling) to invoke plugins; every execution requires
+explicit user approval (y/N prompt). Plugin credentials are stored in the vault under
+namespaced keys (`plugin:{name}:{key}`).
+
+#### Stage 2.1 — Plugin Framework ✅ COMPLETE
+- `src/pyra/plugins/` package: `base.py`, `loader.py`, `registry.py`, `executor.py`, `install.py`
+- `src/pyra/bundled_plugins/` — ships bundled plugin scripts with pyra
+- `src/pyra/daemon/` stub (CLI surface only)
+- Config: `PluginConfig` + `DaemonConfig` added to `PyraConfig`
+- Bootstrap: `~/.pyra/plugins/` and `~/.pyra/logs/` created on startup
+- Chat session: AI tool-use loop (up to 10 iterations), approval gate, plugin slash commands
+- CLI: `pyra plugin list/install/enable/disable/setup`, `pyra daemon *` stubs
+
+#### Stage 2.2 — Nextcloud Plugin (next)
+Bundled plugin: `src/pyra/bundled_plugins/nextcloud/plugin.py`
+CalDAV calendar, CardDAV contacts, WebDAV files.
+Install deps: `uv pip install -e ".[nextcloud]"`
+
+#### Stage 2.3 — Email Plugin (next, parallel with 2.2)
+Bundled plugin: `src/pyra/bundled_plugins/email/plugin.py`
+IMAP (Hotmail.de/Outlook), folder browsing, smart event extraction to calendar.
+No new deps (uses stdlib imaplib).
+
+#### Stage 2.4 — Daemon + Messaging Bots
+- `src/pyra/daemon/server.py` — asyncio event loop, plugin tasks, IPC socket
+- `src/pyra/daemon/ipc.py` — Unix socket (chmod 600), line-delimited JSON protocol
+- `src/pyra/daemon/service.py` — launchd plist (macOS) / systemd unit (Linux)
+- Bundled plugins: `matrix_bot`, `telegram_bot`, `signal_bot`
+- Security: sender allowlist, bcrypt passphrase challenge, rate limiting (20 msg/hr),
+  injection scanning on all incoming messages, tool approval over messaging (2-min timeout)
+
+#### Stage 2.5 — Infrastructure Plugins
+Bundled plugins: `ssh_tool` (paramiko), `docker_tool` (docker SDK),
+`kubernetes_tool` (kubectl subprocess), `service_manager` (systemctl/launchctl),
+`smb_mount` (mount subprocess)
+
+#### Stage 2.6 — Cloud Storage Plugins
+Bundled plugins: `gdrive` (Google OAuth2), `onedrive` (MSAL device flow), `dropbox_tool`

+### Plugin Credential Naming Convention
+
+Plugin credentials live in the vault under namespaced keys:
+```
+plugin:{plugin_name}:{key_name}
+```
+Examples: `plugin:nextcloud:password`, `plugin:matrix_bot:access_token`
+
+The vault's `get_key()` / `set_key()` accept any string — the namespace is enforced
+by convention in each plugin's `setup()` method.
+
+### Writing a Plugin
+
+1. Create `~/.pyra/plugins/<name>/manifest.json`:
+   ```json
+   {"name": "<name>", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "...", "author": "you"}
+   ```
+2. Create `~/.pyra/plugins/<name>/plugin.py` exporting `get_plugin() -> BasePlugin`:
+   ```python
+   from pyra.plugins.base import BasePlugin, Tool
+
+   class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
+       name = "<name>"
+       description = "..."
+       version = "1.0.0"
+
+       def on_load(self, vault_reader):
+           self._secret = vault_reader("plugin:<name>:secret")
+
+       def tools(self):
+           return [
+               Tool("my_tool", "Does X", {"type": "object", "properties": {}},
+                    self._do_x, requires_approval=True)
+           ]
+
+       def _do_x(self):
+           return "result"
+
+       def setup(self, console, vault_writer):
+           secret = console.input("Enter secret: ")
+           vault_writer("plugin:<name>:secret", secret)
+
+   def get_plugin():
+       return MyPlugin()
+   ```
+3. `pyra plugin enable <name>`
+
+**Plugin rules:**
+- Never import from `pyra.vault` directly — use the `vault_reader`/`vault_writer` callables
+- All write/destructive tools must set `requires_approval=True`
+- Return strings from tool handlers (truncated to 4000 chars by executor)

+## Workflow Rules
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+- **Stay under 50 lines changed.** Find the root cause and fix it directly.
+- If the fix seems to require more than 50 lines, it is probably a refactor, not a bugfix — stop and discuss with the user before proceeding.
+- Do not write workarounds, fallback layers, or compatibility shims to route around a bug. Remove the cause.
+
+### Committing Changes
+
+- **Commit after every logical unit of work** — do not batch unrelated changes into one commit and do not wait until the end of a session.
+- **One commit per concern.** If a session touches a file for two different reasons (e.g. a bugfix and a cleanup), those are two separate commits — staged and committed independently, even if the file is the same.
+- Use the project commit convention: `feat(module):`, `fix(module):`, `test:`, `docs:`, `chore:` followed by a short description.
+- Always `git add` only the files relevant to that commit — never `git add .` blindly.
+- Do **not** push unless explicitly asked to.
+
+### Avoid Duplication — Check the Inventory First
+
+Before writing any new utility function, class, or import block, check the **Code Inventory** section below. Everything listed there already exists and is importable. Writing a duplicate wastes code and introduces divergence.
