What Reindex does

description: Fully rebuild the codebase index from scratch

Run the `index_codebase` tool with `force=true` to rebuild the index from scratch.

User input: $ARGUMENTS

Parse the input and set tool arguments:

force=true always
estimateOnly=false always
verbose=false (default, for token efficiency)
verbose=true if input contains "verbose" (for detailed output)

Examples:

/reindex → force=true, estimateOnly=false, verbose=false
/reindex verbose → force=true, estimateOnly=fal
