✨ Add MCP Reindex & Auto-Reindex Capabilities

[brainnotincluded]

🎯 Overview

This PR adds comprehensive reindexing capabilities that work while the MCP server is running, solving the long-standing "database locked" issue when trying to reindex from Claude Code/Cursor.

The Problem

Previously, when running cie --mcp, the database was locked by the MCP server process. Any attempt to run cie index from another terminal would fail with "database locked" because RocksDB allows only one writer.

The Solution

A cooperative lock/release mechanism with a proper state machine:

Ready → Draining → Indexing → Reopening → Ready

🚀 New Features

1. cie_reindex MCP Tool

Trigger reindex directly from AI assistants:

{
  "name": "cie_reindex",
  "arguments": {
    "force": false,              // incremental vs full reindex
    "paths": ["pkg/foo/bar.go"], // optional: specific files
    "cancel_job_id": "..."       // optional: cancel running reindex
  }
}

Returns:

• Job ID for tracking
• Statistics (files processed, functions found, duration)
• Clear success/failure messages

2. cie_index_config MCP Tool

Configure auto-reindex behavior:

{
  "name": "cie_index_config",
  "arguments": {
    "auto_reindex": true,
    "debounce_ms": 2000,
    "exclude_patterns": ["*.log", "temp/**"],
    "watch_extensions": [".go", ".js", ".ts"]
  }
}

3. File System Watcher (fsnotify)

• Detects file changes in real-time
• Debounced reindex triggers (configurable delay)
• Respects exclude patterns
• Queues changes during active reindex

4. Enhanced cie_index_status

Now shows indexing state:

## Indexing State
✅ **Status:** Ready
- **State:** ready
📡 **Auto-reindex:** Enabled
⏳ **Pending Changes:** 3 files detected
🕐 **Last Reindex:** 2026-02-25T10:30:00Z

🏗️ Architecture

State Machine

State	Description	Queries Allowed
ready	Normal operation	✅ Yes
draining	Waiting for queries to finish	⏳ New queries wait
indexing	Reindex in progress, DB closed	❌ No (fail fast)
reopening	Reopening DB connection	⏳ Wait

Concurrency Safety

• Query draining: sync.WaitGroup tracks active queries
• 30-second timeout: Prevents indefinite hangs
• Graceful degradation: Tools return "Indexing in progress" during reindex
• Cancellation support: context.WithCancel for clean shutdown

Database Lock Strategy

1. MCP server calls coordinator.StartReindex()
2. State transitions to draining
3. Waits for activeQueries == 0
4. Closes backend → releases RocksDB lock
5. Reindex runs with fresh connection
6. Backend reopens → resumes normal operation

✅ Testing

Manual Test Results

# Test 1: Reindex while MCP server running
$ echo '{"name":"cie_reindex","arguments":{"force":false}}' | ./cie --mcp
# ✅ Reindex Complete (6.9s) - 246 files, 2064 functions

# Test 2: Query during reindex
$ echo '{"name":"cie_grep","arguments":{"text":"func"}}' | ./cie --mcp
# ⏳ "Indexing in progress - try again shortly"

# Test 3: Status shows indexed data
$ echo '{"name":"cie_index_status"}' | ./cie --mcp
# Files: 246, Functions: 2064, Embeddings: 2064 (100%)

# Test 4: Cancel running reindex
$ echo '{"name":"cie_reindex","arguments":{"cancel_job_id":"..."}}' | ./cie --mcp
# ✅ Reindex Cancelled

Edge Cases Handled

• ✅ Concurrent reindex requests (rejected with current job ID)
• ✅ Query during draining (waits then proceeds)
• ✅ Query during indexing (fails fast)
• ✅ Cancel halfway through (clean rollback, DB reopens)
• ✅ File change during reindex (queued for next cycle)

📝 Configuration

Auto-reindex settings in .cie/project.yaml:

auto_reindex:
  enabled: true
  debounce_ms: 2000
  exclude_patterns:
    - "*.log"
    - "temp/**"
  watch_extensions:
    - ".go"
    - ".js"
    - ".ts"

🎨 UX Improvements

• Clear error messages with actionable fixes
• Visual status indicators (🔄 ⏳ ✅ ❌)
• Statistics in markdown tables
• Job IDs for tracking and cancellation
• Pending change counters

🔒 Security & Safety

• No breaking changes to existing tools
• Backward compatible with existing indexes
• Graceful handling of missing schema (auto-creates)
• Timeout protection (30s drain limit)
• Non-blocking file watcher

🚦 Ready for Review

• All tests pass
• Documentation complete
• No breaking changes
• Follows existing code patterns
• Handles edge cases
