## Context
The engine's `POST /api/v1/reindex` re-embeds all chunks synchronously and returns `{"chunks_reindexed": N, "model": "..."}`. The client has an established confirmation pattern in `remove.go` using `--yes`/`-y` flag.
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- Add `kb reindex` with confirmation prompt matching `kb remove` pattern
- Display human-readable and JSON output
**Non-Goals:**
- Progress reporting during reindex (engine returns synchronously)
- Model selection from the client (model is engine-side config)
## Decisions
### 1. Confirmation prompt before reindex
Reindex drops and rebuilds the vector table — destructive if interrupted. Use the same `[y/N]` prompt pattern as `kb remove`, skippable with `--yes`/`-y`.
### 2. Warn that it may take a while
The prompt should mention that reindex re-embeds all chunks, so the user knows it's not instant.
