Pull Request Overview
This PR prevents UI freezing during code indexing by moving CPU‐intensive tasks off the main thread, throttling frequent UI updates, and adding cancellation support.
- Introduce WorkerPool and dedicated worker scripts for file processing and embedding generation
- Implement throttled progress emissions in
CodeIndexStateManagerand wire up a "Stop Indexing" button withAbortController - Add comprehensive i18n entries for the new Code Indexing UI

Typographical consistency note: The value for "qdrantUrlLabel" is written as "URL Qdrant" without a trailing colon, while similar labels (e.g., "ollamaUrlLabel") include a colon. Consider adding a colon for consistency.

Typographical note: In the description for the embedding dimension, the list of common values uses a mix of Japanese punctuation and an English comma: “384、768、1536, 3072.” Please consider using a consistent punctuation, e.g. “384、768、1536、3072.”

Typo: The label "Gömü Sağlayıcı" appears to be inconsistent with other entries such as "Gömme Boyutu". Perhaps it should be "Gömme Sağlayıcı" or "Gömülü Sağlayıcı" to maintain consistency.

- Fixed duplicate 'codeIndex' sections in all 17 non-English locale files - Implemented memory management safeguards in WorkerPool: - Added queue size limits (default: 1000 tasks) - Added memory threshold monitoring (90% limit) - Added worker health checks with stale worker detection - Added status reporting method for monitoring - Made throttling interval configurable in CodeIndexStateManager - Added comprehensive worker message protocol documentation - Updated all WorkerPool instantiations to use new options-based constructor - Added tests for memory management features - Fixed unhandled promise rejection in health check test - Fixed ESLint warnings about Function type usage
This test is timing out in CI but is unrelated to the worker thread changes. The other MCP tests (read_file, write_file, list_directory) are passing, indicating this is a test-specific issue rather than a problem with the PR changes.

Description
This PR fixes the critical issue where the experimental Code Indexing feature causes the VS Code UI (specifically the RooCode Config UI) to freeze and become unresponsive during the indexing process. The freeze occurred regardless of whether local embedding models (Ollama/Qdrant) or cloud services (OpenAI API) were used.
Root Cause
The UI freeze was caused by:
