CS-10627: Reimplement boxel file touch command#4552
Draft
Conversation
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ports the legacy `boxel touch` into the monorepo's `boxel-cli` under the `file` subcommand group. Touch forces realm re-indexing of one or more instances by GET-then-POST with a semantically-neutral mutation (a `_touched` timestamp in JSON `meta`, or a toggle of `// touched for re-index` in `.gts`). Supports `--all` (enumerate via `_mtimes`) and `--dry-run`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
