refresh_index
Manually update the project index after file additions, removals, or movements. Use for immediate rebuilds, troubleshooting incomplete results, or when file watchers are disabled or unresponsive.
Instructions
Manually refresh the project index when files have been added/removed/moved.

- After large-scale operations (git checkout, merge, pull) that change many files
- When you want immediate index rebuild without waiting for file watcher debounce
- When find_files results seem incomplete or outdated
- For troubleshooting suspected index synchronization issues
Important notes for LLMs:

- Performs full project re-indexing for complete accuracy
- Use when you suspect the index is stale after file system changes
- **Call this after programmatic file modifications if file watcher seems unresponsive**
