Description

Allow users to specify this flag that will safely rename/archive/delete the default index.redb file and start again from scratch. 🙏🏻

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the codebase for index.redb file handling, locate the index initialization and flag parsing logic, then implement a new reindex flag that safely renames or deletes the existing index file before rebuilding.
