Reindex

Rebuild the cqs search index and compare stats.

Process

1. •

   Before stats: Run cqs stats and capture output (chunk count, note count, HNSW status)

2. •

   Reindex:

   • •Default: cqs index (incremental — only re-embeds changed files)
   • •With --force argument: cqs index --force (full rebuild)
3. •

   After stats: Run cqs stats again

4. •

   Compare: Show before/after diff:

   • •Chunks: added, removed, unchanged
   • •Notes: count change
   • •HNSW vectors: count change
   • •Call graph: call count change
5. •

   Verify: Run a quick search to confirm index is working:

   • •cqs "parse source file" — should return results
   • •If no results, something is wrong — investigate

When to use

• •After significant code changes
• •After editing docs/notes.toml manually (if cqs watch isn't running)
• •After switching branches with different file sets
• •When search results seem stale or wrong
