💡 What: Replaced the fixed-chunk processing loop in indexer-worker.ts with a p-limit based concurrency model.
🎯 Why: The previous implementation processed files in batches (e.g., 25 files), waiting for all files in the batch to complete before starting the next batch. This caused "head-of-line blocking" where one slow file would idle the worker thread for the duration of the batch.
📊 Impact: Eliminates idle time between batches. Workers can now process files as soon as a slot opens up. This improves indexing throughput for mixed workloads (small and large files).
🔬 Measurement: Verified functionality with verify-worker.ts (ensuring correct partial/final message protocol) and ran existing tests (bun run test in language-server).

… concurrency

Refactors `indexer-worker.ts` to use `p-limit` for file processing instead of fixed-size chunks. This prevents head-of-line blocking where a single slow file in a chunk delays the processing of subsequent files.

- Replaces `for` loop chunking with `pLimit` based concurrent execution.
- Implements internal result buffering to maintain batched IPC reporting (reducing message overhead) while allowing tasks to complete independently.
- Ensures robust `isPartial` flag handling to signal task completion correctly.
- Verified with custom `verify-worker.ts` script and existing test suite.
