Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The update flow now cancels cooperatively, but the CLI can still remain unresponsive to further interrupts if indexing stops observing cancellation while it is being awaited.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Consider an escape hatch for a second interrupt.
After the signal fires, the helper waits for the task without a bound. wait_for_interrupt uses tokio::signal::ctrl_c, which keeps the Tokio handler installed, so a second Ctrl-C does not terminate the process. If the operation stops observing the token (for example, a long blocking provider call), the CLI hangs with no user recourse.
Add a second-signal path that returns immediately after cancellation was already requested.

Extract the shared embedding-cancellation handling.
This block duplicates crates/vera-core/src/indexing/pipeline.rs lines 286-307: the same call, the same EmbeddingError::Cancelled reclassification, the same context message, and the same post-embedding check. Extract one helper (for example in the embedding module) and call it from both sites. The two copies can drift in cancellation precedence.
As per path instructions: "no duplicated logic (suggest extraction)".

Summary
This follows PR #60 and closes the remaining indexing publication gaps found during review.
ParseErrorstates for files that no longer parse, removing stale searchable content.Behavior
Existing update APIs keep their behavior and call the new cancellation-aware entry point with a fresh token.
vera indexandvera updatenow return cancellation before publication starts. If SIGINT arrives after synchronous publication begins, the CLI waits and returns the actual publication result.A modified file that fails parsing no longer remains searchable under its previous
Indexedstate. The update removes its old chunks and stores the new hash withParseError, matching full-index behavior. No schema migration is required.The file hash remains the publication marker. Retry cleanup uses chunk metadata as evidence of partial vector or BM25 publication because chunk metadata is inserted first and removed last.
Review Hotspots
crates/vera-cli/src/helpers.rs: signal handling cancels the token and awaits the spawned task without aborting publication.crates/vera-core/src/indexing/update.rs: cancellation stops before writes; publication then runs to completion. Cleanup covers modified files and partially published additions.Verification

Makes incremental update publication cancellation-safe and idempotent. Interrupted updates no longer leave stale content or duplicate artifacts; the CLI installs an interrupt handler before work starts, cancels cooperatively, and returns the real publication result if a signal arrives after publishing begins. Summaries now count processed files regardless of final status, and “up to date” only prints when there are no changes and no parse errors. No schema migration.
