Codebase indexing
Codebase indexing settings exist in the app, but semantic indexing/search is currently staged and not fully active.
Current status
- The `enableCodebaseIndexing` setting is exposed in app configuration.
- Current runtime behavior shows a "coming soon" notice and stops the indexer process.
- Semantic search integration is waiting on backend embedding support.
What to expect today
- Enabling indexing today does not provide production semantic retrieval behavior.
- Switching projects/config still triggers sync checks, but indexing is intentionally disabled at execution time.
- Treat this as a forward-compatible settings surface rather than an active retrieval feature today.
Practical guidance right now
- Rely on attachments, focused prompts, and file/tool exploration for context retrieval.
- Keep indexing expectations conservative until backend semantic support is released.
- Watch release notes for the activation milestone before adopting indexing-heavy workflows.
