# POST /search/rebuild

`POST /search/rebuild`

Trigger a manual full rebuild of the search index.
Returns HTTP 202 on accept, HTTP 409 with `rebuild_already_running` when another rebuild is in progress.
Returns HTTP 423 if the encryption session is locked.

Already on `{ data, ts }`; the bespoke wrapper is replaced by the canonical
`ApiEnvelope<SearchRebuildAcceptedData>` (identical JSON, not a wire change).

## Response `202`

Rebuild accepted

- SearchRebuildEnvelope — Canonical success envelope: `{ "data": T, "ts": <unix millis i64> }`. `ts` is `chrono::Utc::now().timestamp_millis()`, set in the webserver handler via [`ApiEnvelope::now`] (the contract carries only the type + the clock helper, not a hard dependency on when the handler reads the clock). `rename_all = "camelCase"` is a no-op for the single-word fields here but is declared for forward-compat. IMPORTANT (utoipa v4): every concrete `ApiEnvelope<X>` that needs a named OpenAPI component is declared in the `#[aliases(...)]` block below. Add a new alias line whenever a new payload type needs enveloping. NEVER register the bare `ApiEnvelope` in `components(schemas(...))` — utoipa errors on a bare generic, and an un-aliased generic inlines an anonymous schema.
  - `data` SearchRebuildAcceptedData, required — Acceptance payload — the `ApiEnvelope` payload for `POST /search/rebuild` (ADR-008 §0.1).
    - `accepted` boolean, required
  - `ts` integer, required — Server time when the response was built (unix epoch milliseconds).

## Other responses
