Research direction
Start by reproducing startup after removing the index directory while leaving indexes_states.json unchanged, then trace the server's index-state loading and the handling of the missing gh-archive index. Done means the server responds appropriately to this mismatch and the log clearly explains the missing index and required recovery.
