Description

Users are unable to use @ to select context providers.

Reports

If you write the '@' in the chat, nothing happens. No way to insert any kind of context.

clicking "more" and "re-index" worked

Reindexing the codebase made @ to work again.

I confirm that Re-indexing solves the context issue using @ for me.

Regardless of which project I open, after the plugin update, I have to re-index its codebase. If I open Project X, reindex, close, reopen same project, I'll have to reindex again to have context working properly.

typing @ does not always trigger context provider menu, especially on new window. seems to be linked to the new Cmd + I edit feature

Can confirm that navigating to the history and back works as a workaround.

To reproduce

#2990 (comment)

Send a test message to any chat model first, or
Open a new chat window using the plus icon (but only after having interacted with a model)
For example, after sending a message using the Ollama model, the @ context menu becomes available and continues working even when switching to other models like Bedrock.
