Description
build_search_index in crates/core/src/lib.rs (lines ~430-464) rebuilds the full in-memory index by scanning every conversation and note on each refresh.
Problem
- A full rescan on each refresh does not scale to large workspaces.
Suggested direction
- Implement incremental indexing so only changed conversations/notes are re-indexed, avoiding full rescans.

Research direction
Start in crates/core/src/lib.rs at build_search_index, around lines 430-464, and trace how conversations and notes are discovered and refreshed. Determine how changes can be identified before choosing an incremental approach. Done means refreshes re-index only changed conversations or notes instead of rescanning the entire workspace.
