Index ${id} already exists

Error message

Index ${id} already exists

What it means

createIndex() found an index already registered under the same id in this._indices. Index ids are unique per bridge; reuse would silently overwrite embeddings, so the caller must pick a fresh id or reuse the existing index.

Solutions

1. Choose a unique identifier, or delete/replace the existing index before creating a new one with the same id.
2. Check for existence first and treat 'create if absent' as a distinct code path.
