## Summary
Implement the complete index system for cross-file LSP features. This
adds persistent two-tier indexing (ProjectIndex + per-file MergedIndex
shards), background indexing triggered on idle, and index-based query
handlers for major LSP requests.
### Index Data Layer (`src/index/`)
- **TUIndex**: Add binary serialization/deserialization via FlatBuffers,
enabling IPC between stateless worker and master server
- **ProjectIndex**: Add symbol name/kind storage, `PathPool` path
normalization (backslash -> forward slash), and binary persistence
- **MergedIndex**: Add `content` field to store file content for
reliable offset<->position mapping; add `removed` bitmap for garbage
collection of deleted entries; filter removed IDs in `lookup()` queries
- **schema.fbs**: Add TUIndex tables, `Symbol.name` field,
`MergedIndex.removed` bitmap and `MergedIndex.content` string
### Server (`src/server/`)
- **Background indexing**: Idle-triggered coroutine dequeues files from
CDB, dispatches `IndexParams` to stateless workers, merges returned
`TUIndex` into ProjectIndex/MergedIndex, and persists to `.clice/index/`
- **Index persistence**: `save_index()` / `load_index()` for startup
restoration; only rewrites shards flagged `need_rewrite()`
- **LSP handlers**:
- `textDocument/definition` -- index-first lookup with stateful worker
fallback
- `textDocument/references` -- cross-file reference query via index
- `callHierarchy/prepare`, `incomingCalls`, `outgoingCalls` --
Caller/Callee relation traversal
- `typeHierarchy/prepare`, `supertypes`, `subtypes` -- Base/Derived
relation traversal
- `workspace/symbol` -- case-insensitive substring search over
ProjectIndex symbols
- **Stateless worker**: Add `Index` request handler that builds
`TUIndex` from compiled AST and returns serialized data
- **Config**: Add `enable_indexing` (default true) and `idle_timeout_ms`
(default 3000ms)
### Fixes and Cross-platform
- **ElaboratedType handling** in `decl_of()` for correct Base/Derived
relation emission
- **Windows path normalization** in `PathPool::intern()` and
`ProjectIndex::from()` (backslash -> forward slash)
- **`.gitattributes`**: Force LF in `tests/data/**` to prevent CRLF
byte-offset mismatches on Windows CI
- **Test fixture**: Clean `.clice/` before each test for hermetic index
state
### Tests
- **370-line** `index_query_tests.cpp`: unit tests for occurrence
lookup, relation queries, content retrieval, removed bitmap filtering
- **282-line** `test_index.py`: E2E integration tests for
GoToDefinition, FindReferences, CallHierarchy
(prepare/incoming/outgoing), TypeHierarchy
(prepare/supertypes/subtypes), WorkspaceSymbol
- Updated existing MergedIndex and ProjectIndex tests for new schema
fields
## Test plan
- [x] 414 C++ unit tests pass (including new IndexQuery, MergedIndex,
ProjectIndex tests)
- [x] 69 Python integration tests pass (including 10 new index feature
tests)
- [x] CI green on Linux, macOS, Windows
- [ ] Manual smoke test with VSCode extension
