   • Purpose: Switch inventory indexing mode between modified and all.

5. coderoot.toggleVisibility

   • Purpose: Toggle .coderoot visibility in explorer (workspace or per-folder).

6. coderoot.autoCommit / coderoot.autoCommitDryRun

   • Purpose: Auto-commit helper (dry-run shows which files would be staged).
   • Example (dry-run): the dry-run command writes details to the extension output channel — use coderoot.autoCommitDryRun.

   • Purpose: Maintenance and migration tasks. migrateLegacyPCM prompts for Dry-run vs Apply and can use scripts/migrate-legacy-pcm.mjs.

Notes & verification

1. Many commands require the workspace to be initialized and journaling enabled; the extension shows warnings if preconditions fail.
2. How to verify: after running commands that change state, use the Output channel (CodeRoot) or inspect .coderoot/v1/* files.
