cdno reindex

Rebuild the SQLite index from scratch off the Markdown source of truth. The recovery path for a corrupt or stale index.

cdno reindex [OPTIONS]

Options

Only the global options. reindex ignores --json.

When you need it

Almost never — Cuaderno reconciles the index automatically on every run (see Business rules). Reach for reindex when:

  • search or link results look wrong after a large external edit or a sync conflict, or
  • you deleted .cuaderno/index.db and want to rebuild it eagerly rather than on next use.

Because the Markdown files are authoritative, a full rebuild is always safe.
