Summary
This PR fixes a critical issue where semantic indexing blocks the entire server, making it unresponsive until indexing completes. The fix implements background processing with real-time progress tracking.
Problem
When running semantic indexing on large codebases (2000+ files), the server became completely unresponsive because the
async def api_index_semanticendpoint called blocking functions (ingest_file()with Ollama embeddings) synchronously, blocking FastAPI's event loop.Solution
BackgroundTasksto run semantic indexing in a separate threadINDEXING_JOBSdictionary with thread-safe progress updatesGET /api/jobs- List all indexing jobsGET /api/jobs/{job_id}- Get specific job statusbackground=falseparameter for sync mode when neededChanges
