Lumen Reindex

Refresh or rebuild the bundled Lumen index for the current project.

Steps

1. Call the Lumen index_status tool for the current working directory so you can report the current state before making changes.
2. If the user wants the index refreshed or seeded, call the Lumen semantic_search tool with a broad natural-language query and set path or cwd to the current working directory. The search tool refreshes stale or missing indexes automatically.
3. If the user explicitly asks for a clean rebuild, explain the options and run one via the shell:
   • lumen purge . && lumen index . — deletes only the current project's cached index before rebuilding. Prefer this.
   • lumen purge && lumen index . — deletes every cached index on the host before rebuilding. Use only when the user asks for a full wipe.
4. After the refresh or rebuild, report the new index status.
