docs: update index architecture documentation for v5.7.7 lazy loading

Browse source 
Updated index architecture documentation to accurately reflect the current implementation:

**Index Architecture Changes:**
- Clarified 3-tier architecture: 3 main indexes + ~50+ sub-indexes
- Removed DeletedItemsIndex (not currently integrated)
- Added TypeAwareHNSWIndex with 42 type-specific indexes
- Documented MetadataIndexManager sub-components (ChunkManager, EntityIdMapper, etc.)
- Documented GraphAdjacencyIndex with 4 LSM-trees
- Added comprehensive summary section with index hierarchy

**Lazy Loading Documentation:**
- Added Mode 1 (Auto-Rebuild) vs Mode 2 (Lazy Loading) comparison
- Documented ensureIndexesLoaded() implementation with concurrency control
- Added lazy loading performance characteristics (0-10ms init, 50-200ms first query)
- Added use cases for each mode (serverless, development, large datasets)
- Documented mutex-based concurrency safety

**Files Updated:**
- docs/architecture/index-architecture.md
- docs/architecture/initialization-and-rebuild.md
- docs/PERFORMANCE.md

All documentation now accurately reflects v5.7.7 lazy loading implementation.

* Rebuild indexes from persisted data if needed (v3.35.0+)

* FIXES FOR CRITICAL BUGS:
* - Bug #1: GraphAdjacencyIndex rebuild never called ✅ FIXED
* - Bug #2: Early return blocks recovery when count=0 ✅ FIXED
* - Bug #4: HNSW index has no rebuild mechanism ✅ FIXED
* - Bug #5: disableAutoRebuild leaves indexes empty forever ✅ FIXED (v5.7.7)
*
* Production-grade rebuild with:
* - Handles millions of entities via pagination
* - Handles BILLIONS of entities via streaming pagination
* - Smart threshold-based decisions (auto-rebuild < 1000 items)
* - Lazy loading on first query (when disableAutoRebuild: true)
* - Progress reporting for large datasets
* - Parallel index rebuilds for performance
* - Robust error recovery (continues on partial failures)
* - Concurrency-safe (multiple queries wait for same rebuild)
*
* @param force - Force rebuild even if disableAutoRebuild is true (for lazy loading)
