Description

**Describe the bug**
I try adding to the context a specific folder or file.
After pressing @ on the chat, no file or folder is suggested.

Checking the log, indexing is not happening even if it is enabled in the settings

**To Reproduce**
It is consistent on my setup, I cannot say if it is correlated to an update or a disable/enable of the indexing feature

**Expected behavior**
I can see the list of my files

Research direction

No source files, tests, or code entry points are identified in the report. First reproduce the missing file and folder suggestions after pressing @, then inspect the indexing logs and indexing setting behavior. Done means indexing runs and the chat UI lists available files and folders for context.
