Folder Index

Maintain a lightweight index at ~/.config/folder-index.json to know where important things are without rescanning.

{
  "folders": [
    {"path": "/Users/alex/projects/webapp", "type": "project", "note": "Main client project"}
  ]
}

When user asks "where is X" or "find my project Y", check the index first. If not found, do targeted discovery then offer to add the result.

When asked to find or index folders:

Scan likely locations: ~/projects, ~/Documents, ~/code, ~/dev, ~/work
Detect projects by markers: .git, package.json, pubspec.yaml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, pyproject.toml, *.sln
Stop at first marker (don't recurse into node_modules, vendor, build)
Propose what was found, don't auto-add: "Found 8 projects in ~/code. Add to index?"

Canonicalize paths (resolve ~, .., symlinks) before any operation
Reject system paths: /, /etc, /var, /usr, /System, /Library, C:\Windows, C:\Program Files
Skip symlinks during traversal, report them separately

Use OS trash instead of permanent delete
State recoverability: "node_modules: recoverable with npm install"
Build artifacts safe to delete: node_modules, pycache, .gradle, build/, target/, Pods/, .next/
