[Feature Request]: Button/API Endpoint to Restart Document Processing

[Caleb68864]

Do you need to file a feature request?

• I have searched the existing feature request and this feature request is not already filed.
• I believe this is a legitimate feature request, not just a question or bug.

Feature Request Description

Sometimes LightRAG hangs when processing documents.
If I restart the server there is no way to restart processing existing documents.

As a work around I've been send a period "." via the text API.
This tricks LightRAG into scanning the pending documents.
 
It would be nice to have a button in the UI and/or an API end point that can restart documents processing.

Additional Context

No response

The web interface already includes a Scan feature that addresses this requirement.

If I restart the light rag server and there are documents pending the scan button does not start processing existing documents.
If I add a new document and click the scan button it finds the new document and starts processing the pending documents as well.

I've also run into other times where processing gets stopped or hangs and am not able to restart without a new document.

I am unable to reproduce the error. However, I can restart the file processing job for all docs with failed or processing status.
