Subject: [PATCH] fix(core): reload config after create_rule_block so the new
 rule applies immediately
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When the `create_rule_block` tool creates a rule, it writes the file via
`ide.writeFile()`, which does not trigger VS Code workspace file events — so the
new rule is not picked up until the next manual config reload. After the tool
runs successfully we now invalidate the walkDir cache and reload the config, so
the rule the model just created takes effect right away.
