 The `server.py search`/`rebuild` CLI transparently reuses a background daemon (spawned automatically on first use per `--data-dir`) that keeps the embedding and reranking models loaded in memory, so only the first query after a cold start or an idle period pays the model-loading cost; every call falls back to loading the models directly in-process if the daemon cannot be reached or started. The daemon exits on its own after 30 minutes of inactivity. Indexing skips files larger than 512 KB and, per repository, stops after 2000 indexable files by default; set `SEMANTIC_RETRIEVAL_MAX_FILES` to raise that cap for larger monorepos. When the cap is reached, the CLI prints an explicit warning to stderr rather than silently omitting files.
