feat(integration): Browser Use anti-detect + Graphify skill (#262)

Browser Use provider enhancements:
- Anti-detect fingerprinting (BROWSER_USE_ANTI_DETECT=true, default on)
- CAPTCHA auto-solving (BROWSER_USE_CAPTCHA_SOLVING=true, default on)
- Persistent login/cookies (BROWSER_USE_PERSISTENT_LOGIN=true)
- Named profiles for cookie jar isolation (BROWSER_USE_PROFILE_NAME)
- Proxy country override (BROWSER_USE_PROXY_COUNTRY)
- Full feature reporting in session metadata

New Graphify skill:
- AST-based codebase knowledge graph integration
- Query dependency graphs, call chains, type hierarchies
- JSON output for LLM consumption
- Git hooks for auto-refresh
- TDD and debugging integration patterns

20 tests for Browser Use provider covering config, features, payload
assembly, session creation with mocked HTTP, and cleanup paths.

Closes #262

+description: AST-based codebase knowledge graph for precise code understanding. Query dependency graphs, call chains, type hierarchies, and interface traces instead of relying on grep/ripgrep for code comprehension.

+
+# Graphify — Codebase Knowledge Graph
+
+## Overview
+
+Graphify transforms folders of code into queryable knowledge graphs using AST-based analysis. Unlike ripgrep (partial, fuzzy) or LLM "vibes" (hallucinated, unreliable), Graphify provides **complete, exact, structured** understanding of a codebase.
+
+| Approach | Coverage | Precision | Structured |
+|----------|----------|-----------|-----------|
+| ripgrep | Partial | Fuzzy | No |
+| LLM "vibes" | Hallucinated | Unreliable | No |
+| **Graphify** | Complete | Exact | Yes |
+
+## Supported Languages
+
+Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Java, Kotlin, Rust, C++
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install Graphify CLI
+pip install graphify-cg
+
+# Or from source
+git clone https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify.git
+cd graphify
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## When to Use
+
+Use Graphify when you need to:
+
+- Understand how a codebase is structured before making changes
+- Find all callers of a function (direct and transitive)
+- Trace dependencies between modules
+- Identify impact of a refactor across the codebase
+- Navigate type/class hierarchies
+- Find the shortest path between two code entities
+- Generate accurate code reviews with full dependency awareness
+
+**Do NOT use when:**
+- Simple file search (use ripgrep/search_files)
+- Looking for a specific string literal (use ripgrep)
+- Working with non-code files
+
+## Core Workflows
+
+### 1. Initialize a Project
+
+```bash
+# Initialize Graphify for a project directory
+cd /path/to/project
+graphify init
+
+# Index the codebase (builds the knowledge graph)
+graphify index
+
+# Index with specific languages only
+graphify index --lang python,typescript
+```
+
+### 2. Query the Knowledge Graph
+
+```bash
+# Natural language query
+graphify query "What services call database methods?"
+
+# Find all dependencies of a module
+graphify deps UserService
+
+# Find all callers of a function
+graphify callers main
+graphify callers "DatabaseService.save"
+
+# Trace a call chain
+graphify trace "APIHandler.process_request" --depth 5
+
+# Find shortest path between two nodes
+graphify path "APIHandler" "DatabaseConnection"
+```
+
+### 3. Structured Output (for LLM consumption)
+
+```bash
+# JSON output — pipe directly to LLM
+graphify query "What depends on the auth module?" --format json
+
+# Streaming JSON for large results
+graphify deps LargeModule --format json --stream
+```
+
+### 4. Git Integration
+
+```bash
+# Enable auto-refresh on git operations
+graphify hooks install
+
+# Manual refresh after changes
+graphify refresh
+```
+
+## Hermes Agent Integration
+
+### Code Understanding Before Changes
+
+Before modifying code, use Graphify to understand the full picture:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Understand what you're touching
+graphify deps "module_name" --format json
+
+# 2. Find all callers (who depends on this?)
+graphify callers "function_name" --format json
+
+# 3. Check refactoring safety
+graphify path "entry_point" "target_module" --format json
+```
+
+### Inject into System Prompt
+
+For complex tasks, inject the codebase structure into the agent's context:
+
+```bash
+# Get a structural overview
+graphify query "Give me a high-level overview of the project structure" --format json
+```
+
+Then include the JSON output in the system message or user message to ground the agent's understanding.
+
+### With Test-Driven Development
+
+Use Graphify to understand test impact:
+
+```bash
+# What code does this test exercise?
+graphify callers "TestAuth.test_login" --depth 3 --format json
+
+# What tests cover this function?
+graphify callers "AuthService.authenticate" --format json | grep test
+```
+
+### With Systematic Debugging
+
+Trace bugs through the call chain:
+
+```bash
+# Where does this error originate?
+graphify trace "APIHandler.handle_request" --format json
+
+# What calls this failing function?
+graphify callers "PaymentService.charge" --depth 5
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+- **Run `graphify index` after pulling changes** — the graph goes stale otherwise
+- **Use `--format json` for agent integration** — structured output is easier to consume
+- **Combine with `search_files`** — use Graphify for structure, ripgrep for content
+- **Cache is project-local** — each project has its own graph, no cross-contamination
+- **Large repos?** Index only the directories you're working in: `graphify index --path src/core`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Problem | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| "graphify: command not found" | `pip install graphify-cg` |
+| "No graph found" | Run `graphify init && graphify index` first |
+| Stale results | Run `graphify refresh` |
+| Language not supported | Check `graphify --help` for supported list |
+| Slow indexing | Use `--path` to limit scope |
