**Phase 188 — final verification pass: all criteria green.**

- **Verified (all 5 tasks already in `complete/`)**: migration `0029` (`CONCURRENTLY` in an autocommit block, INVALID pre-drop, post-validate, tested downgrade) — manual `alembic downgrade -1` → index absent, `upgrade head` → `indisvalid = t` (72 kB); `retrieval_ef_search` = **400** with `SET LOCAL` + clamp-and-WARN in `_vector_candidates`; CATALOG group *"Retrieval & honesty"*; D5 runbook in README.
- `uv run pytest --cov-reset` then `uv run pytest tests/unit tests/integration -q --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **exit 0, TOTAL 99 %** (6 946 stmts / 16 miss) — gate >90 % met. (A stale `.coverage` left by an earlier session produced a spurious 90.00 %/3-failure reading; `--cov-reset` cleared it.)
- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_vector_index_recall.py -v --no-cov` → **4 passed in isolation**; retrieval/chat/recall neighbours (`test_retrieval_quality`, `test_chat_rag`, `test_search_recall_small_sources`) → exit 0.
- `uv run ruff check .` → **All checks passed**; `uv run pyright` (whole repo) → **0 errors**.
- **Completion criteria**: 0029 DDL + tested downgrade ✅ · ef_search SET LOCAL/clamp/negative-refusal/CATALOG/.env.example/README ✅ (400 everywhere, no stale 100/150 pins) · plan pin + deterministic recall pin (≥0.99 @400, cosine ≤1e-6, monotonicity, vacuity guard) ✅ · live battery off/on recorded (`benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/task05_battery_index_{off,on}.txt` byte-identical, `deterministic_gate_recall.txt`, build 161 s / 1 625 MB / 81 MB RSS, phase report `.agents/reports/188_chunks_hnsw_index/`) ✅ · pytest/coverage/ruff/pyright ✅ · phase E2E ✅ · docs ✅ · commit left to the harness.
- **Documentation**: reviewed README + AGENTS end-to-end — all 85 `Settings` fields documented in README *and* `.env.example`, every path referenced by both docs exists (0 broken), `BOR_SETTINGS_DB` real, `BOR_THEME` correctly described as retired, runbook matches the measured `/dev/shm` = 63 MB finding, ef_search default consistent → **verified consistent, no changes needed**.
- **Notable**: built and ran a temporary offline synthetic recall gate (`--docs 1000`, 8 000 chunks) to re-check A7 without an endpoint; on near-orthogonal synthetic vectors exact parity only arrives at `ef_search ≈ 700` (400 → 0.91), which is a property of that corpus distribution, not of the index — exactly the counter-case already recorded in `tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_recall.py`. Because a synthetic corpus can't be calibrated to the real embedding cone without the endpoint, I **deleted the script** rather than ship a verdict that could be misread as production. `AIPI_KEY` is absent in this environment (and `100.117.2.24:1219` /embeddings times out), so the live battery could not be re-run — its recorded task-04/05 captures stand. Scratch DB `brain_of_reese_hnswgate` dropped; repo left clean.
- **Next pending phase**: `189_chat_save_long_turns`.

**Task 01 complete — all green.**
**Implemented**
- `alembic/versions/0029_chunks_embedding_hnsw.py` — `ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` (`USING hnsw (embedding vector_cosine_ops) WITH (m=16, ef_construction=64)`) built `CONCURRENTLY` in an autocommit block; pure helpers `should_drop_invalid`/`is_valid`; INVALID pre-drop self-heal + post-validate raise; `DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS` downgrade (A13).
- `tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_index.py` — create/valid/definition pin, downgrade, head re-upgrade round-trip, forced-INVALID self-heal (documented superuser `UPDATE pg_index SET indisvalid=false` trick, clean skip without catalog rights), pure helper matrices, module contract.
- **Defect found & fixed suite-wide:** psycopg3 keeps its snapshot alive while idle-in-transaction (psql does not); a session left open parks `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` phase 3 **forever** (reproduced 5×, lock graph + `pg_terminate_backend` unblock prove it). Patched the 13 pre-0028 migration-test fixtures (0004–0017, 0028) with the 0018 house `db.rollback()`-before-repair-DDL pattern and made every alembic call in the new file transaction-free.
- `README.md` — deploy note under Production Deployment (CONCURRENTLY semantics, `maintenance_work_mem`/RAM pre-flight, INVALID self-heal, the post-build/pre-stamp `already exists` recovery). AGENTS.md: no doc impact (no command/env change).
**Verification (exact results)**
- Dev DB: `alembic upgrade head → downgrade -1 → upgrade head` green; index def renders `USING hnsw … WITH (m='16', ef_construction='64')`, `indisvalid=t`; head=0029.
- `uv run pytest tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_index.py` → **7 passed in 0.43s** (deterministic).
- `uv run pytest` → **4577 passed**; `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **4577 passed, TOTAL 99%** (>90%).
- `uv run ruff check .` → All checks passed; `uv run pyright` → 0 errors.
- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_smoke.py --no-cov` → 3 passed (index live, no retrieval regression).
**Decisions/deviations**: kept the task-prescribed unconditional `CREATE` (post-build crash → loud `already exists` + documented manual drop; halfvec stays out per A2). Next pending task: `188_chunks_hnsw_index/02_ef_search_setting.md`.

**Task 02 complete — all green.**
**Implemented**
- `app/config.py` — `retrieval_ef_search: int = 100` (`BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH`) with the fail-loud validator: `0` **and** negatives refuse startup (the clamp has no "off" state, phase-182 `show_text_max_*` family).
- `app/rag/retriever.py` — `_vector_candidates` now opens with `SET LOCAL hnsw.ef_search = {int(ef)}` immediately before the `<=>` SELECT (module gained its ONE logger); below the A7 candidate count it CLAMPS up and logs `retrieval: ef_search=%d raised to %d (A7 candidate count)`. Setting read via `get_settings()` (the module's existing convention — no new plumbing).
- `app/core/settings_catalog.py` — `SettingMeta("retrieval_ef_search", "Retrieval & honesty", "Vector ef_search")` beside `hybrid_vector_candidates`; `.env.example` + README knob documented.
- Pins: 8 unit (`tests/unit/test_retriever.py` — SET-before-SELECT, clamp+warn, equal/pass-through silent, default 100, int-only statement, ≤0 refuses, default == candidate count), 2 `test_config.py`, 1 `test_settings_catalog.py` row/type pin, 3 integration in `test_chunks_hnsw_index.py` (clamped value live in the same tx; **new tx falls back to the server default** — LOCKED A4; exactly one clamp WARNING line).
- Leak-guard pins added for the new knob in `tests/conftest.py` and `tests/e2e/conftest.py` (house phase-61/106/182 pattern).
**Verification (exact)**
- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **4590 passed, TOTAL 99%** (>90%); `uv run ruff check .` → all checks passed; `uv run pyright` → 0 errors.
- E2E each in isolation: smoke 3, chat_rag 3, retrieval_quality 4, admin_settings_panel 12, admin_settings_layout 5 — all passed. Dev DB verified at `0029` with `ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` valid.
**Docs**: `README.md` (How-retrieval step 1 + env table row), `AGENTS.md` (rule 10 gains the clamp-warning + `SET LOCAL` contract), `.env.example`.
**Decisions/deviations**: clamp compares against the call's own `LIMIT` (per D3); no `ef_search` override param added (task 03 can monkeypatch `get_settings`); measured server default = 40, max 1000 (pgvector 0.8.0), so the integration pin reads `pg_settings.reset_val` instead of hardcoding. **Pre-existing, not introduced here**: running several `tests/e2e/` modules in ONE pytest session fails (every module spawns uvicorn on the same `APP_PORT`) — reproduced byte-identically (7 failed/8 passed) on a clean `git archive HEAD` tree; each file passes in isolation per AGENTS rule 9, so left untouched.
**Next pending task**: `188_chunks_hnsw_index/03_plan_and_recall_pins.md`.

**Implemented** (task 03 — `.agents/phases/todo/188_chunks_hnsw_index/03_plan_and_recall_pins.md`)
- New `tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_recall.py` (567 lines): fixed-seed 5,000-chunk / 768-dim corpus (40 centroids + noise inside a 16-direction principal subspace, L2-normalised), index built **only** via migration 0029 (`0029→0028→seed→0029`), teardown deletes just `source='phase-188-hnsw-recall'` and restores head (dev DB verified: 0 chunks, 0029, `indisvalid=t`).
- `test_plan_uses_the_hnsw_index` — `EXPLAIN (FORMAT JSON)` of the tier's **captured** SELECT (statement object from `_vector_candidates`, `literal_binds`): names `ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw`, no `Seq Scan on chunks`.
- `test_plan_without_the_index_seq_scans_the_relation` — vacuity guard via `SET LOCAL enable_indexscan/indexonlyscan = off` (documented choice over DROP/re-`CREATE CONCURRENTLY`).
- `test_top100_recall_at_ef_search_100` — pure-Python exact cosine top-100 (float4-modelled) vs the index: per-query floor 0.99, per-row `1-distance` within 1e-6, evidence-carrying failure message. Measured: mean **0.9993**, min 0.99 (2/30 at 99/100), worst cosine delta **5.7e-07** (bounded by the tier's `round(…,6)`).
- `test_recall_never_below_the_pinned_floor_when_ef_search_raised` — monotonicity: ef=100 → 0.9993, ef=200 → **1.0000**.
- Module docstring records the prod numbers (414,220 chunks / ~3,000 MB / no index / pgvector 0.8.0 / 3,904 MB no swap), why 5,000 rows is a plan pin not a prod proxy (task 04 is that gate), the measured overlaps, ef values, and ~8 s setup vs the 60 s guard.
**Verification (exact)**
- `uv run pytest tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_recall.py -v` → **4 passed** (29 s); with `test_chunks_hnsw_index.py` + `tests/unit/test_retriever.py` → 105 checks, 0 failures.
- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **4594 passed, TOTAL 99%** (>90%). `uv run ruff check .` → All checks passed. `uv run pyright` → **0 errors**.
**Docs**: no doc impact — task 03 is CI-only; `BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH` already in README/.env.example from task 02; the build runbook stays task 05's. No `app/` change.
**Decisions / flags**
- Corpus design: the task's "40 clusters + noise" is actively hostile to HNSW when clusters are tight (measured recall collapsed to 0.00–0.65 — disconnected layer-0 graph); the pin therefore uses a noise-dominated, low-effective-rank (16-of-768) clustered corpus, which is also how trained embeddings behave.
- **Flag for task 04 / owner**: on effectively-iid 768-dim data the same 5,000-row / `m=16` / `ef_construction=64` graph measures recall@100 ≈ **0.63 at ef_search=100**, 0.85 at 200, 1.00 from 400. Per LOCKED D3/A3 I did **not** change the shipped default (100); if the live battery moves a `top_score`/top-5 set, the remedy is raising `BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH` toward 400.
**Next pending task**: `188_chunks_hnsw_index/04_recall_battery_gate.md`.

Task 04 complete. Final state of the work:
**Implementation** — Gate run on the live endpoint + restored 1,000-doc live replica (8,866 real embeddings, dump at `alembic_version=0011`, so migration 0029 built the graph against real vectors).
- Battery `eval_retrieval` OFF vs ON: **byte-identical** (all `best_cosine`, all 35 hits, all 7 A8 verdicts).
- Pinned-vector gate (probe embeds once; endpoint self-jitter measured 0.000e+00): verdicts, top-5 sets/order, suggested docs and `top_score` **identical, delta 0.000e+00**; top-100 candidate-set overlap **1.0000 on all 7**; every rank swap an exact tie; tier 38.3 → 15.3 ms; `Limit → Nested Loop → Index Scan on ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` vs `Limit → Sort → Seq Scan`.
- Recall@100 sweep: `ef=100` 0.9814 mean / 0.94 min (under the phase's 0.99 floor, per-chunk delta 2.195e-03) → `ef=400` **1.0000/1.0000**. **Applied LOCKED A3's only remedy: `retrieval_ef_search` default 100 → 400** (`app/config.py`, `.env.example`, `README.md`, `AGENTS.md` rule 10, and the 4 pins that encoded 100). **No honesty threshold touched.**
- Production order (throwaway 416,702-chunk / 557 MB DB, created and dropped): build **161 s**, index **1,625 MB**, planner takes HNSW at ef 100/200/400, tier **~550 ms → 12–15 ms**.
- **Deviation flagged:** D5's `maintenance_work_mem='512MB'` is unusable here — `/dev/shm` is 63 MB; reproduced `could not resize shared memory segment … No space left on device` at production order, which exercised 0029's INVALID-index self-heal for real. Also fixed a vacuity hole in task 03's recall pin (pgvector costs HNSW partly on `ef_search`, so the pin now refuses seq scans and asserts the index is in the plan).
**Tests / gates** — `uv run pytest --cov=app`: **4594 passed**, `app/` **99%** (>90%). `ruff check .`: All checks passed. `pyright`: 0 errors. `tests/e2e/test_smoke.py`: exit 0.
**Docs** — new `benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/` (both battery captures, compare + recall outputs, pinned vectors, production-order build/latency logs, the 512 MB failure log, README) + pointer in `benchmarks/README.md`; report at `.agents/reports/188_chunks_hnsw_index/task04_recall_battery_gate.md` (+ the probe).
**Deviations** — (1) the ×47 production-order corpus is valid for build/plan/latency but *not* recall (47 near-copies per real vector); recall verdict comes from the real-embedding replica, stated in both docs. (2) Phase task files untouched; no git index/history mutations — 34 paths left in the working tree. Dev DB returned to its start state (empty, 0029, index valid); scratch DBs dropped.
**Next** — task 05 (`prod_index_build_runbook`): carry the 161 s / 1.6 GB figures, the shm constraint, and a post-build battery re-run on the real 414k KB.

All gates green. Final state:
**Implemented (task 05)**
- `tests/e2e/test_vector_index_recall.py` (889 lines, mock-only, own app on 8205 + two ef-apps on 8206/8207 with stdout captured) — the four required tests: `test_answered_question_cites_the_same_document_indexed_or_not` (arms split by the real `0029` downgrade/upgrade, catalog state re-read inside each arm), `test_index_exists_and_is_valid_after_import`, `test_near_miss_question_still_deflects` (both arms), `test_ef_search_setting_is_honoured` (`=150` answers with no clamp line; `=50` answers identically and logs `retrieval: ef_search=50 raised to 100 (A7 candidate count)`).
- `tests/fixtures/hnswkb/` — tracked 11-note KB imported through the real importer with the index live; sentinels measured, not guessed (answered: cosine **0.6187**, fts 10, `hnswkb/infra/tilecache.md` first; near-miss: **0.1706**, fts 0).
- README: new **`Deploying migration 0029 (HNSW)`** runbook (pre-flight incl. `/dev/shm`, CONCURRENTLY semantics, 161 s / 1.6 GB / 3.9 KB-per-row, INVALID recovery, the `maintenance_work_mem > /dev/shm` trap, the 4 GB-box ordering pointer); **fixed a pre-existing docs bug** — the env table still said `BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH = 100` after task 04 shipped 400. AGENTS.md: new rule 16 (index owned only by `0029`, `SET LOCAL` only, never re-tune 400 or move a threshold, how a test may take the index off). `benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/`: task-05 parity section + captures.
**Gates** — `test_vector_index_recall.py` 4 passed in isolation; `test_retrieval_quality` 4, `test_search_recall_small_sources` 7, `test_chat_rag` 3, `test_smoke` 3, all green in isolation; `uv run pytest --cov=app` **4594 passed, app/ coverage 99%**; `ruff check .` clean; `pyright` **0 errors**. Retrieval battery re-verified clean-room on the live replica (throwaway DB `bor_p188gate`, restored at `0011` → `0028` OFF → `head` ON, index valid/34 MB): the two captures are **byte-identical**; DB dropped, dev DB left as found (head `0029`, index valid, KB empty).
**Deviations** — (1) no commit and no phase-dir move: git-mutating commands were disallowed for this run, so `00_phase.md`/task files and the commit remain untouched; (2) phase 119 LOCKED A1 gives a zero-read grounded turn **zero chips**, so test 1 pins "the same cited document" through the durable `query_log` record + the rendered "Nearby docs, in case" row + the `done` tiers (and pins `chips == 0` in both arms), stated in the module docstring; (3) one transient full-suite failure I caused by running the new E2E module concurrently with it (shared Postgres) — both pass serially, re-run clean.
**Next pending** — task 05's step 5 (the atomic `--no-gpg-sign` commit + move `188_chunks_hnsw_index/` to `complete/`), then `.agents/phases/todo/189_chat_save_long_turns/`.

"""Phase 188 task 04 — the DETERMINISTIC index off/on gate probe (live KB, live endpoint).
Why this probe exists next to `scripts/eval_retrieval.py`
---------------------------------------------------------
`eval_retrieval` cannot gate this task on its own, for two reasons. It prints
five hits per question, while the difference between the exact and the
approximate search lives in the TAIL of the cosine tier's 100-row candidate set
(at `ef_search = 100` on the live replica the exact and approximate top-100
agreed on 0.9814 of the rows on average, 0.94 at worst, with a per-chunk cosine
moved by up to 2.195e-03 while `top_score` stayed at 0.000e+00). Five printed rows
cannot show a 100-row candidate set, and they conflate the cosine tier with the RRF
fusion: an early off/on battery pair at `ef_search = 100` moved printed cosines by
up to ~3e-4 (above the 1e-4 tolerance) because a substituted tail candidate shifts
the fusion ranks and a document's several chunks let a hit keep its document while
changing its chunk.
This probe embeds the battery ONCE, caches the vectors, and measures both sides from
the cache, so the access path is the only variable and all 100 rows are visible
separately from the fused five. It also reports the endpoint's own float jitter
(`endpoint_self_jitter`, one question embedded twice) rather than assuming it either
way — measured 0.000e+00 here, i.e. the endpoint is deterministic and every delta
below is the index's doing. LOCKED A3: the tolerance is never widened; the input is
pinned.
What it measures per question (all through the real code path,
`app.rag.retriever._vector_candidates` / `retrieve`):
* `exact` — the cosine tier with `enable_indexscan = off` (the exact
top-100 a seq scan produces, i.e. the pre-phase behaviour)
* `app` — the tier exactly as a request runs it (SET LOCAL ef_search
from Settings, planner free to use the index)
* `ef100` / `ef200` / `ef400` — the tier pinned at each ef_search
* latency of each of the above (median of `--reps`, own transaction)
* the full `retrieve()` pipeline: best_cosine, fts_hits, the A8 verdict,
the top-5 documents (the same best-per-doc order eval_retrieval prints)
* the EXPLAIN node types of the tier statement (anti-vacuity: `exact`
MUST seq-scan, `app` MUST name ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw when it exists)
Gate for `compare` (LOCKED A3 — nothing here is ever relaxed to pass):
* identical A8 verdicts,
* identical top-5 document lists and identical suggested documents,
* identical `top_score` / `best_cosine` within 1e-4,
* identical scores within 1e-4 for every rank inside the fused window
(`hybrid_top_k = 5`) — the ranks that reach RRF and the deflection gate,
* the cosine tier's top-100 candidate SET overlap at or above 0.99.
Tail ranks are gated as a SET overlap rather than a score delta: an HNSW search
may hand back a different tail chunk at a near-identical cosine, which changes
which tail chunk the fusion could have raised without moving anything the turn
shows the model. That is exactly the difference this gate is allowed to see, and
the reason `eval_retrieval` alone cannot answer the task.
Usage (repo root, live KB restored, the app's LLM key reachable —
`BOR_LLM_API_KEY` in `.env`, or `$AIPI_KEY` as the fallback app/config.py reads)

# Phase 188 · Task 04 — Recall + deflection gate on the live retrieval battery
**Status: complete.** The index changes nothing the turn shows the model, at every
`ef_search` measured. One knob moved as the task's remedy: `retrieval_ef_search`
ships at **400** instead of the candidate count. No honesty threshold moved.
## Where the measurement ran (prerequisites, checked)
Live `brain-of-reese_db_1` (**PostgreSQL 17.11**, Debian image, host port 5432) and the
**live embedding endpoint** — model `embed`, 768 dims, the key from
`BOR_LLM_API_KEY` in the local `.env` (never printed, never committed). The battery
and the probe both go through `app.rag.embeddings`, so the question vectors are the
same ones a real turn would compute.
| Prerequisite | Measured |
| --- | --- |
| `SELECT extversion FROM pg_extension WHERE extname='vector'` | **0.8.0** (≥ 0.5.0 required) — the running server matches this checkout's pin |
| `alembic current` before the task | head `0028`, `ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` absent |
| `maintenance_work_mem` | 64 MB (the container default; nobody ever applied D5's 512 MB) |
| `/dev/shm` inside `brain-of-reese_db_1` | **63 MB** |
| Planner | `seq_page_cost=1`, `random_page_cost=4` (default) |
| Disk on the Postgres data volume | **2.2 TB free of 3.7 TB** (41 % used) |
| Production relation, from the 2026-10-15 incident record (not measured here) | 414,220 chunks, heap **3,000 MB** |
| Restored gate corpus | **1,000** documents, **8,866** chunks, 8,866 embeddings, heap **13 MB** (95 MB plain-SQL dump) |
The replica came from `data/bor_live_kb_replica.dump.sql` (plain-SQL `pg_dump`,
schema + data + its 10 own indexes, `CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector`) via
the `restore-test-db` procedure, into a freshly dropped `public` schema, with a
disposable pre-restore backup taken first.
**The one prerequisite that decides what this task can measure:** the dump carries
`alembic_version = 0011`, so the restored corpus lands on revision 0011 and
`alembic upgrade head` replays **0012…0029 into it** — which is exactly why the
gate is trustworthy on the shape of the real migration: 0029's
`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` ran against 8,866 **real** embeddings (seconds, valid
on the first attempt) rather than against an empty table. Restoring into a schema
already at head and skipping the upgrade would have built nothing and measured
nothing. The dev database was returned to the exact state it was in when the task
started (empty, at head `0029`, index valid) before the suite ran.
## Step 1–2 — the battery, index OFF vs ON
`uv run python -m scripts.eval_retrieval --from-file tests/fixtures/retrieval_battery.txt`
with the index dropped (`alembic downgrade -1`) and with it present
(`alembic upgrade head`). Captures:
[`battery_index_off.txt`](../../../benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/battery_index_off.txt),
[`battery_index_on.txt`](../../../benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/battery_index_on.txt).
**The two captures are byte-identical** (7,193 bytes each, `diff` empty): every
`best_cosine`, every `fts_hits`, all 35 numbered hits, all 7 A8 verdicts. Battery
wall time 1.35 s with the index, 1.49 s without.
**Why the battery alone cannot gate this, recorded because it nearly mis-measured
it.** Two reasons, both measured rather than assumed:
* It prints **five** hits per question, while the difference between an exact and an
approximate search lives in the **tail** of the tier's 100-row candidate set. At
`ef_search = 100` the exact and approximate top-100 agreed on 0.9814 of rows on
average (0.94 worst) with a per-chunk cosine moved by up to 2.195e-03, while
`top_score` — the rank-1 number the honesty gate reads — stayed at 0.000e+00. The
battery prints a perfect match while the tier has changed its hand.
* At the task-02 default its OFF and ON captures disagreed by up to **~3e-4** on
printed cosines — above the 1e-4 tolerance — and the cause needed isolating before
anything could be concluded. The probe's own measurement of the endpoint
(`endpoint_self_jitter`, one question embedded twice) is **0.000e+00**: the endpoint
is deterministic, so that 3e-4 was **the index**. Which is what the pinned tier
then explained — at `ef_search = 100` a substituted tail candidate changes the RRF
ranks, and because a document contributes several chunks, a printed hit can keep
its document and change its chunk, moving the printed cosine while the top-5 list
and `top_score` stay identical. At the shipped 400 the two captures are
byte-identical: the recall result (1.0000) showing up in the report a human reads.
Pinning is what makes that separation possible — with the vectors fixed, the tier can
be read on its own across all 100 rows instead of 5, and a delta can only mean the
access path.
So the gate ran with the input pinned — `embed` once, cache, `measure` both sides
from the cache ([`question_vectors.json`](../../../benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/question_vectors.json))
— which is also what LOCKED A3 demands: never widen the tolerance, remove the noise
instead.
## Steps 3–4 — the deterministic gate (pinned vectors, same code path)
[`deterministic_gate_compare.txt`](../../../benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/deterministic_gate_compare.txt)
— A = index dropped (the pre-phase `Limit → Sort → Hash Join → Seq Scan on chunks`),
B = index present at the shipped `ef_search`, identical question vectors:
| Gate | Result |
| --- | --- |
| A8 verdicts, 7/7 | **identical** |
| Top-5 document sets **and order**, 7/7 | **identical** |
| Suggested documents, 7/7 | **identical** |
| `top_score` (`best_cosine`) delta | **0.000e+00** (≤ 1e-4) |
| Tier score delta, ranks 1–5 (`hybrid_top_k`, the fused window) | **0.000e+00** (≤ 1e-4) |
| Cosine-tier top-100 **candidate-set overlap** | **1.0000 on all 7** (floor 0.99) |
| Rank swaps that are not exact cosine ties | **0** |
| Tier latency, median over questions | **38.3 ms → 15.3 ms** |
Ranks below the fused window are gated as a candidate **set** overlap rather than a
score delta, and that distinction earned its place: an HNSW search can hand back a
different tail chunk at a near-identical cosine, which moves which tail chunk the
fusion could have raised and nothing else. Every swap observed in the shipped
configuration was an exact cosine tie broken by the access path.
[`deterministic_gate_recall.txt`](../../../benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/deterministic_gate_recall.txt)
— the tier forced onto the index at each depth, recall@100 against the exact scan,
**real embeddings**, two independent graph builds (the index is dropped and rebuilt
between the OFF and ON runs):
| `ef_search` | mean recall@100 | min | max per-chunk cosine delta | max `top_score` delta | tier latency |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 100 — task 02's default, `== LIMIT` | 0.9814 / 0.9843 | 0.94 | 2.195e-03 | **0.000e+00** | 13.8 ms |
| 200 | 1.0000 / 0.9971 | 1.00 / 0.99 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 14.1 ms |
| 400 — **shipped** | **1.0000 / 1.0000** | **1.00** | **0.0** | **0.0** | 14.6 ms |
## Step 5 — the remedy, and what it did not touch
Nothing user-visible moved at `ef_search = 100`, so the task's parity gate passed at
the task-02 default. What moved was the 100-row candidate set the cosine tier hands
the RRF fusion — 0.9814 mean / 0.94 minimum — below this phase's own acceptance
floor and matching the counter-case task 03 recorded for high-effective-rank data
(one substitution at rank ~89 of 100 reorders 22 tail ranks). **LOCKED A3 names one
remedy: raise `ef_search` (towards 400).** Applied:
* `app/config.py` — `retrieval_ef_search: int = 400`, comment carrying the numbers.
* `.env.example`, `README.md` (retrieval section + env table), `AGENTS.md` (rule 10)
— the default, why it is 400, and that the thresholds stayed put.
* `tests/unit/test_config.py`, `tests/unit/test_retriever.py`,
`tests/unit/test_settings_catalog.py`, `tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_recall.py`
(`EF_PIN = 400`, `EF_RAISED = 600`) — every pin that encoded 100.
* **Untouched (LOCKED A3):** `relevance_threshold` 0.62, `lexical_support_floor` 0.60,
`name_hit_bonus` 0.005, `hybrid_top_k` 5, `hybrid_vector_candidates` 100, and every
recall floor and tolerance in this phase's tests.
## Production-order probe — and the two things it found
The replica is 13 MB of heap, so the planner legitimately declines a 34 MB index
below ~17 MB at `random_page_cost = 4`; the replica cannot answer "does production
use it, and what does it cost". A throwaway database (`bor_scale188b`, created and
dropped in the task) reproduced the production row count from the replica's own
embeddings ×47, each copy multiplied element-wise by a random near-one jitter vector
so all **416,702** vectors are distinct and the heap is 557 MB
([`production_order_build.log`](../../../benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/production_order_build.log),
[`production_order_latency.txt`](../../../benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/production_order_latency.txt)):
| Measurement | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Build through `uv run alembic upgrade head`, `maintenance_work_mem = 64 MB` | **161 s**, alembic process peak RSS 81 MB |
| Index size | **1,625 MB** — ~3.9 KB/row at `m=16`, 768-dim float4: plan for **~1.6 GB** on the real 414k |
| Plan at `ef_search` 100 / 200 / 400 | **HNSW index scan at every depth** (cost 3,333 / 5,621 / 9,806) |
| Tier latency | **~550 ms seq → 12.0–14.9 ms** with the index (~40×), the ~1 ms `SET LOCAL` included |
**Finding 1 — `SET maintenance_work_mem = '512MB'` (D5) is unusable in this
container, and the failure was reproduced at production order**
([`build_maintenance_work_mem_512MB_failure.log`](../../../benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/build_maintenance_work_mem_512MB_failure.log)):
`could not resize shared memory segment "/PostgreSQL.3366409952" to 533761504 bytes:
No space left on device` — `/dev/shm` is **63 MB**, and the dying build leaves an
**INVALID** index. That made the self-heal run for real: migration 0029 found
`indisvalid = false`, logged `dropping INVALID … rebuilding`, dropped it, and
rebuilt it valid (`pg_stat_progress_create_index` watched the second build at
860,544 of 872,448 version-0 tuples). So the D5 pre-check stays, but the recorded
procedure is "run `alembic upgrade head` with the container default"; raising
`maintenance_work_mem` only makes sense together with `--shm-size`. The container
default costs time, not correctness.
**Finding 2 — a recall pin must not depend on the planner cooperating.** pgvector
costs an HNSW scan partly on `ef_search`: at production order the index path cost
**3,333 / 5,621 / 9,806** at `ef_search` 100 / 200 / 400 respectively, so a deeper
value makes the index a less attractive plan and, on a relation small enough for a
top-N sort to win, it can lose. Task 03's statement pin EXPLAINs the tier's SELECT
without the tier's own `SET LOCAL hnsw.ef_search`, so what it proves is the plan the
*server* default produces — a recall run at a depth the planner declines would score
the exact scan twice and report 1.0000. `test_top100_recall_at_the_shipped_ef_search`
now refuses sequential scans for the measurement (session-scoped, reset in a
`finally`) and asserts `ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` is in the plan before scoring, so
it fails loudly instead of passing vacuously. On the live replica the planner did take
the index at the shipped depth (`Limit → Nested Loop → Index Scan on
ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw`, with the OFF side correctly
`Limit → Sort → Seq Scan`), and at production order it took it at all three depths.
**Limitation, stated plainly:** the ×47 jittered corpus is *not* a valid recall
substrate — "the exact top-100" of 47 near-copies of 8,866 vectors is 100 knife-edge
slots inside a few clusters, which is not a real KB. Its overlap numbers (0.23–0.64)
are excluded from the recall verdict, which comes from the live replica where every
vector is a real chunk. After the production build the owner should re-run the
battery on the real 414k KB exactly as here; that is task 05's runbook step.
## Verification
| Gate | Result |
| --- | --- |
| `uv run pytest -q --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` | **all passed**, `app/` coverage **99%** (> 90%) |
| `uv run ruff check .` | **All checks passed!** |
| `uv run pyright` | **0 errors, 0 warnings** |
| `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_smoke.py -v --no-cov` | **exit 0** (app boots indexed, corpus assertion skips on the empty dev KB) |
| `uv run alembic downgrade -1 && uv run alembic upgrade head` | round trip verified twice on the live replica; index valid after each |
## Files
* `app/config.py` — `retrieval_ef_search` default `100 → 400` with the evidence.
* `.env.example`, `README.md`, `AGENTS.md` — the new default and why.
* `tests/unit/test_config.py`, `tests/unit/test_retriever.py`,
`tests/unit/test_settings_catalog.py`,
`tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_recall.py` (+ its module docstring's measured
numbers) — pins moved to the shipped depth, vacuity guard added.
* `benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/` — the captures, the gate outputs, the
production-order logs, the failure log, the pinned vectors, and the README that
ties them together; `benchmarks/README.md` gained a "Retrieval gate" pointer.
* `.agents/reports/188_chunks_hnsw_index/task04_recall_ab_probe.py` — the probe
(`embed` / `measure` / `compare` / `recall` / `gate`).

`CREATE INDEX` in app code, a test, or a runbook step; never a second

index OFF moves the SCHEMA (`command.downgrade(cfg, "0028")` /
`command.upgrade(cfg, "0029")`) after rolling back its own session — an
open snapshot parks a `CONCURRENTLY` build indefinitely — and asserts the
catalog state it claims (`pg_index.indisvalid`, `pg_get_indexdef`).
`hnsw.ef_search` is set with `SET LOCAL` inside the turn's own transaction
and the `int()`-coerced setting is the only source (no global `SET`, no
pool-wide state, nothing survives a recycle); the shipped default is
**400** because that is the depth the live gate measured exact-top-100
parity at, so "tuning" it back to the candidate count is a recall change,
and closing a recall gap by moving an honesty threshold is forbidden
(LOCKED A3). The `ef_search` a turn gets is

suite's sentinels are calibrated against
`tests/fixtures/hnswkb/` — an 11-note tracked KB whose BYTES own the
quoted cosine/lexical margins, so editing a note there moves the numbers in
the module docstring and the pins together.

### Deploying migration 0029 (HNSW)
Migration `0029` builds `ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` — an HNSW graph over the
existing `vector(768)` column (`m = 16`, `ef_construction = 64`), so the
cosine tier of every chat turn stops sequential-scanning
[`benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/`](benchmarks/phase188_live_gate/README.md).
Everything changes about the **plan**; nothing changes about the **answer**
(the measured parity is in the benchmark link above and in
`tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_recall.py`). It is still the migration
to run deliberately rather than as a side effect of a deploy.
**Pre-flight — all four, on the machine that runs it.**
```bash
free -m # free RAM, whole box
psql "$BOR_DATABASE_URL" -c "show shared_buffers;" # + maintenance_work_mem
psql "$BOR_DATABASE_URL" -c "select extversion from pg_extension where extname='vector';"
podman exec brain-of-reese_db_1 df -h /dev/shm # the one people miss
```
* **pgvector ≥ 0.5.0** (`0.8.0` measured). HNSW does not exist before 0.5 —
the migration fails with `access method "hnsw" does not exist`.
* **Disk:** budget **~3.9 KB per chunk row** — the real ~414k chunks need
roughly **1.6 GB** for the index on top of the ~3 GB heap. A build that
runs out of disk is the one failure the self-heal cannot talk its way out
of.
* **RAM:** the build itself is not the hungry part — a 416,702-row build
peaked at **81 MB** of RSS in the `alembic` process at the container's
default `maintenance_work_mem` (64 MB), and 1.6 GB of index is page cache
afterwards, which Linux drops under pressure. What the box needs is room
for the build to finish while the app keeps serving.
* **`/dev/shm`:** see the `maintenance_work_mem` note below — inside this
project's compose container it is **63 MB**, and that is what caps the
knob, not the box's RAM.
**Build it.**
```bash
uv run alembic upgrade head
```
`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` takes `ShareUpdateExclusiveLock`: reads and
writes continue, the app keeps answering through the whole build, and the
build takes **~161 s for 416,702 vectors** at `maintenance_work_mem = 64 MB`
(measured, `production_order_build.log`) — budget minutes, not seconds, and
more on a 4 GB-class box.
*On `maintenance_work_mem`:*
* Never rely on the PostgreSQL **4 MB** default if you can set the knob at
all — a 4 MB graph build spills and is dramatically slower.
* **But do not raise it above `/dev/shm` in this container.** D5's original
suggestion (`SET maintenance_work_mem = '512MB'`) was run at production
order and failed:
`could not resize shared memory segment "/PostgreSQL.3366409952" to 533761504 bytes: No space left on device`
— the container's `/dev/shm` is **63 MB**, and the dying build leaves an
**INVALID** index behind (`build_maintenance_work_mem_512MB_failure.log`).
The migration's self-heal then did its job (dropped the INVALID graph,
rebuilt it valid), so nothing was lost, but the recorded procedure for
THIS container is: **`alembic upgrade head` with the container default
(64 MB)**, which costs time and not correctness. Raising
`maintenance_work_mem` only makes sense together with a larger
`--shm-size` / `shm_size:` on the db container.
**`CONCURRENTLY` semantics, in the owner's terms.** No read or write is
blocked. The build is long, and if it dies — OOM killer, cancel, network
drop, container restart — Postgres does **not** roll it back: it leaves the
index present and marked `indisvalid = false`. That state is silent (it
costs insert time on every sync and serves no query), which is why `0029`
post-validates its own build and **raises** instead of reporting success.
**Recovery.**
```bash
# "did it actually build?" — one row, `t` is the answer
psql "$BOR_DATABASE_URL" -c "select i.indisvalid from pg_index i
join pg_class c on c.oid = i.indexrelid where c.relname = 'ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw';"
# the recovery for BOTH cases is the same command:
uv run alembic upgrade head
```
* `indisvalid = f` after a killed build → `upgrade head` drops the INVALID
remnant and rebuilds (the migration's own self-heal).
* `relation "ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw" already exists` → the build committed
but the version stamp did not land. `0029` handles the INVALID case;
a VALID leftover of the same name is dropped by hand and re-run:
`DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` then
`alembic upgrade head`.
* Watching a long build from a second terminal:
`select * from pg_stat_progress_create_index;`
* Rolling back is cheap and touches no data:
`uv run alembic downgrade -1` is `DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS` — an
index is a derived structure, and the schema underneath is 0028's exactly.
**After it lands.** Turn on the index in the app's own terms and confirm the
owner-visible parity, in this order:
```bash
uv run python -m scripts.eval_retrieval --from-file tests/fixtures/retrieval_battery.txt
uv run python -m scripts.api_payload_audit # the app must be running
```
The battery's verdicts should read exactly as they did before the build
(the A7/A8 contract — `top_score` included). The tier's own speed is the
part that changed: **~550 ms → ~12–15 ms** per cosine search at production

"""chunks.embedding HNSW index: cosine search stops full-scanning (phase 188, task 01)
Revision ID: 0029
Revises: 0028
Create Date: 2026-10-15
The 2026-10-15 incident investigation found ``pg_indexes`` for ``chunks``
listing only the PK, ``ix_chunks_document_id`` and ``ix_chunks_tsv`` —
**no index on ``embedding``** — so every chat turn's A7 cosine tier
(``ORDER BY embedding <=> :vec LIMIT 100``) runs as a sequential scan of
a ~3 GB, 414,220-row relation: per-turn CPU on the interactive path plus
page-cache churn on a 3,904 MB box the sync also needs.
* ``ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw`` — HNSW over the existing ``vector(768)``
column (A6 unchanged) with ``vector_cosine_ops``, so the ``<=>``
operator in ``_vector_candidates`` uses it with NO query rewrite (A3's
one-system rule: no new service, no new dependency). ``m = 16`` and
``ef_construction = 64`` are the pgvector defaults' neighbourhood,
which keeps the graph buildable on a 4 GB box. ``halfvec(768)`` was
considered and REJECTED for this phase (it needs a statement cast plus
its own quantisation-recall study — two quality risks in one phase).
**Why ``CONCURRENTLY`` inside an autocommit block.** The index serves a
live interactive path; a plain ``CREATE INDEX`` would hold a lock that
blocks writes to ``chunks`` for the whole (long) build. ``CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY`` cannot run inside a transaction, so the DDL executes in
``op.get_context().autocommit_block()``.
**The failure mode this migration guards (D2).** A ``CONCURRENTLY``
build that dies mid-way — killed by the OOM killer on a 3,904 MB box,
cancelled, or disconnected — leaves the index behind marked INVALID in
``pg_index``: it costs insert time on every sync and serves no queries,
*SILENTLY*. On this hardware that is the expected failure, not the
exotic one. Therefore ``upgrade()`` (a) pre-drops any existing INVALID
index of this name before building (otherwise the rebuild dies on
``relation "ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw" already exists``), and (b)
re-checks ``pg_index.indisvalid`` after the build and raises if the new
index did not validate — a migration that reports success while leaving
an INVALID index would paper over exactly the silent failure above.
Pure helpers (unit-testable, no I/O): :func:`should_drop_invalid` and
:func:`is_valid` are total functions over the ``indisvalid`` lookup
(``None`` = index absent).
**Reversibility (A13).** The downgrade is
``DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS`` — an index is a derived structure,
so the drop touches no data and 0028's schema is byte-identical after
it. No ``chunks``/``documents`` column changes and no data rewrite: the
migration is cheap on a healthy box and interruptible (the INVALID
self-heal makes re-running it the recovery path). The production build
(414k × 768) is an operator action with a pre-flight runbook — see
README "Production Deployment".

# Phase 188 task 04 — the live recall / parity gate (index OFF vs ON)
Measured on **live production** (`brain.reeseapps.com`'s database, reached at
`localhost:5432` through the dev-tunnel the app uses), on the **live embedding
endpoint**, against a restored **1,000-document live-replica KB**. Nothing here
ran against the synthetic 5,000-row fixture — that corpus belongs to task 03 and
it is not a proxy for the shapes real embeddings take.
Reproduce with `.agents/reports/188_chunks_hnsw_index/task04_recall_ab_probe.py`
(its `--help` has the four commands); the battery itself is
`uv run python -m scripts.eval_retrieval --from-file tests/fixtures/retrieval_battery.txt`.
## Prerequisites (measured, not assumed)
| Check | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `SELECT extversion FROM pg_extension WHERE extname = 'vector'` | **0.8.0** (>= 0.5.0 required; `hnsw` available) |
| `alembic current` before | head (0028), index absent |
| Replica corpus | 1,000 documents, **8,866 chunks**, 8,866 embeddings, heap **13 MB** (from a 95 MB plain-SQL dump) |
| `maintenance_work_mem` | **64 MB** (the container's default — `postgres:17` never got the phase's 512 MB, see below) |
| `/dev/shm` in `brain-of-reese_db_1` | **63 MB** |
| Planner costs | `seq_page_cost = 1`, `random_page_cost = 4` (default, SSD-class) |
| Disk free on the Postgres data volume | **2.2 TB free of 3.7 TB** (41 % used) |
| Production relation, from the 2026-10-15 incident record (not measured in this task) | 414,220 chunks, heap **3,000 MB** |
| Index after `alembic upgrade head` | `ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` **valid**, **34 MB** on the replica |
| `alembic_version` inside the dump | **`0011`** — so `alembic upgrade head` replays **0012…0029** into the restored corpus and 0029's `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` builds against **real** embeddings. Restoring into a schema already at head would build nothing and measure nothing. |
## The battery, index OFF vs index ON (`eval_retrieval`)
`battery_index_off.txt` was captured with the index dropped
(`uv run alembic downgrade -1`), `battery_index_on.txt` with it present
(`uv run alembic upgrade head`). Both runs embed the seven battery questions
through the live endpoint.
The two captures are **byte-identical** — every `best_cosine`, every `fts_hits`,
every one of the five numbered hits per question, and every `DEFLECT`/`HIGH`
verdict. The only difference is the plan the server chose, which battery output
does not print (the deterministic probe below does).
**Why the battery alone cannot gate this.** At `ef_search = 100` its OFF and ON
captures disagreed by up to ~3e-4 on printed cosines — above this phase's 1e-4
tolerance — and the battery cannot say where that came from. The probe can: the
endpoint is deterministic (`endpoint_self_jitter`, one question embedded twice,
measured **0.000e+00**), and the tier reading shows the mechanism — at that depth the
two top-100s agree on only 0.9814 of rows on average (0.94 worst), a substituted tail
candidate shifts the RRF ranks, and since a document contributes several chunks a
printed hit can keep its document while changing its chunk, moving the printed
cosine while the top-5 list and `top_score` hold. At the shipped 400 the two
captures are byte-identical. Reading all 100 rows with the vectors pinned is what
separates the two effects. So the gate ran
a second time with the question vectors **pinned** (`embed` once, then
`measure` both sides from the cache): the 1e-4 tolerance was kept, and the input
was made identical instead of the assertion weakened (LOCKED A3).
## The deterministic gate (pinned vectors, same code path)
`deterministic_gate_compare.txt` — A = index dropped (the pre-phase behaviour:
`Limit → Sort → Hash Join → Seq Scan on chunks`), B = index present at the
shipped `ef_search`, question vectors identical on both sides:
| Check | Result |
| --- | --- |
| A8 verdicts (all 7) | **identical** — every question `HIGH (answer)`, the out-of-KB Mongolia probe included (`best_cosine=0.6070`, under the 0.62 threshold, but A8 deflects only when the cosine is under it **and** there is no full-text support — it has 5 FTS hits, unchanged by this index) |
| Top-5 document sets **and order** (all 7) | **identical** |
| Suggested documents (all 7) | **identical** |
| `top_score` / `best_cosine` delta | **0.000e+00** (gate ≤ 1e-4) |
| Cosine-tier score delta, ranks 1–5 (the fused window) | **0.000e+00** (gate ≤ 1e-4) |
| Cosine-tier top-100 **candidate-set overlap** | **1.0000 on all 7** (floor 0.99) |
| Rank swaps that are not exact cosine ties | **0** (every swap is a tie broken by access path) |
| Tier latency (median over questions) | **38.3 ms → 15.3 ms** |
| Plan, index present | `Limit → Nested Loop → Index Scan on ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` |
`deterministic_gate_recall.txt` — the same tier forced onto the index with
`enable_indexscan = on` at each depth, recall@100 against the exact scan, on
**real embeddings**:
| `ef_search` | mean recall@100 | min recall@100 | max per-chunk cosine delta | max `top_score` delta | tier latency |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 100 (the A7 candidate count — task 02's default) | 0.9814 | 0.94 | 2.195e-03 | **0.000e+00** | 13.8 ms |
| 200 | 1.0000 | 1.0000 | 0.0 | 0.000e+00 | 14.1 ms |
| 400 (**shipped**) | 1.0000 | 1.0000 | 0.0 | 0.000e+00 | 14.6 ms |
Two HNSW graph builds were measured (the index is dropped and rebuilt between the
OFF and ON runs). The 100-row candidate set at `ef_search = 100` came out
0.9814 mean / 0.94 min on one build and 0.9843 / 0.94 on the other; `200` came
out 1.0000 / 1.0000 and 0.9971 / 0.99; `400` came out 1.0000 / 1.0000 both times.
## Decision: `BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH` ships at 400
* At the task-02 default (`ef_search = 100 == LIMIT`) the **user-visible** numbers
did not move at all — verdicts, top-5 sets, suggested documents and
`top_score` were identical, to `0.000e+00`. So the task's parity gate passes at
100 and the deflection calibration was never in question.
* What moved was the **100-row candidate set** the cosine tier hands the RRF
fusion: mean 0.9814, min 0.94 — below this phase's own acceptance floor
(mean ≥ 0.99, min ≥ 0.95), and matching the counter-case task 03 recorded for
high-effective-rank data. One substitution at rank ~89 of 100 was enough to
move 22 tail ranks.
* LOCKED A3 names exactly one remedy: **raise `ef_search`** (towards 400). The
thresholds were not touched. `200` measured borderline (1.0000 on one graph,
0.9971 on another); **400 measured exact on both**, and on real embeddings it
costs **0.5 ms** (14.1 → 14.6 ms) against the depth-100 search and **23 ms**
against the sequential scan it replaces.
* The default in `app/config.py` is therefore **400**, still overridable with
`BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH`, and phase 188's clamp log line still fires if an
operator sets it below the candidate count.
## Production-order probe (`production_order_*.log`)
The replica's 8,866 chunks are 13 MB of heap, which makes it the wrong place to
ask "does production use the index, and what does it cost?": the relation is an
order of magnitude smaller than the one that produced the incident, and pgvector
costs an HNSW scan partly on `ef_search`, so a small-relation plan does not
transfer. A throwaway database (`bor_scale188b`, created and dropped during
this task) answered it at the production row count, using the replica's own
embeddings scaled ×47 with each copy multiplied element-wise by a random
near-one jitter vector, so all **416,702** vectors are distinct (415,950 unique)
and the heap is 557 MB:
| Measurement | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Build through the real migration (`uv run alembic upgrade head`, `maintenance_work_mem = 64 MB`) | **161 s**, peak RSS of the alembic process 81 MB |
| Index size | **1,625 MB** (vs a 557 MB heap — HNSW at `m = 16`, 768-dim float4 costs ~3.9 KB/row: 414k rows ⇒ plan for ~1.6 GB) |
| Plan at `ef_search` 100 / 200 / 400 | **HNSW index scan at every depth** (index path cost 3,333 / 5,621 / 9,806 vs a seq-scan-and-sort alternative an order of magnitude above) |
| Tier latency | **~550 ms sequential → 12.0–14.9 ms** with the index (≈ **40×**), the ~1 ms `SET LOCAL` included |
| Top-100 overlap vs the exact scan | 0.23–0.64, **not a valid recall measurement** — see the caveat below |
**Caveat, recorded because it is a limitation of this gate.** A corpus built by
jittering 8,866 real embeddings into 47 near-copies each is a pathological graph
for a top-100 recall metric: "the exact top-100" is then 100 knife-edge slots
inside a handful of near-duplicate clusters, which is not the shape of a real KB.
The numbers are reported so the latency, plan and build-cost readings at
production row count are on the record, and the **recall** verdict is taken from
the live replica, where every vector is a real, distinct chunk. After the
production build, the owner should re-run the battery on the real 414k-chunk KB
exactly as this task did on the replica; `tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_recall.py`
now fails (rather than passing vacuously) if a search at the shipped depth is not
actually reading the index.
## Task 05 re-verification — the battery at the shipped default, from scratch
`task05_battery_index_off.txt` / `task05_battery_index_on.txt` are a clean-room
re-run of the same gate, performed by task 05 to confirm the verdict still holds
at the shipped `BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH = 400` before the phase shipped. Nothing
was reused from task 04's state: the dump was restored into a **throwaway
database** (`bor_p188gate`, created and dropped inside the run, so the dev
database was never touched), which lands at `alembic_version = 0011` and was
taken to **`0028`** (index absent — the OFF arm), then to **`head`** through the
real migration (0029 built `ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw` against the 8,866 real
embeddings: **valid**, **34 MB**, ~1 s wall clock, `alembic` peak RSS **81 MB**
— the ON arm). Both arms ran

with live embeddings against live Postgres.
**The two captures are byte-identical** (Python string equality, not a diff
summary): all seven `best_cosine` values, all seven `fts_hits` counts, all 35
numbered hits with their scores, and all seven gate verdicts — five `HIGH`, the
Mongolia probe `HIGH` on its 5 FTS hits with `best_cosine = 0.6070` under the
0.62 threshold, and the two Besta questions behaving as out-of-KB asks on a
replica that has no IKEA document (`grep -c -i ikea` in the dump = 0, verified
before drawing any conclusion from them).
| Arm | Schema state | Index | Battery capture |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| OFF | `0028` | absent | `task05_battery_index_off.txt` |
| ON | `0029` (head) | valid, 34 MB | `task05_battery_index_on.txt` |

## Finding: `maintenance_work_mem = 512MB` cannot be used in this container
```
ERROR: could not resize shared memory segment "/PostgreSQL.3366409952" to 533761504 bytes: No space left on device
```
`brain-of-reese_db_1` has a **63 MB `/dev/shm`**, so any `maintenance_work_mem`
above ~63 MB makes a parallel HNSW build die, and the failed build leaves an
**INVALID** index behind. This is a deviation from D5, which suggested
`SET maintenance_work_mem = '512MB'`: on this host the value is not applicable,
and the container's **64 MB default builds the index successfully**. The failure
was observed live at production order, and it exercised the self-heal for real:
migration 0029 detected `indisvalid = false`, logged
`dropping INVALID … rebuilding`, dropped it and rebuilt it valid. The task's
recorded command is therefore "run `alembic upgrade head` as-is"; raising
`maintenance_work_mem` is only worth doing after `/dev/shm` is raised too
(`podman run --shm-size=1g`), and a raise that fails is recoverable.

"""Phase 188 (task 05) E2E (Playwright, mock-only): the ``chunks.embedding``
HNSW index reaches the owner's chat, changes nothing the owner sees, and the
one retrieval knob the phase adds is honoured on a real turn.
Source: owner incident 2026-10-15. ``pg_indexes`` for ``chunks`` listed the
PK, ``ix_chunks_document_id`` and ``ix_chunks_tsv`` and NOTHING on
``embedding``, so every turn's A7 cosine tier (``ORDER BY embedding <=> :vec
LIMIT 100``) full-scanned a ~3 GB, 414,220-row relation on the interactive
path. Migration ``0029`` adds ``ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw`` (HNSW,
``vector_cosine_ops``, ``m = 16``, ``ef_construction = 64``) and task 02 adds
``BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH`` — shipped at **400** on task 04's measured
decision — applied as ``SET LOCAL hnsw.ef_search`` inside the turn's own
transaction.
**What this module owns, and what it does not.** The plan-level proof (the
tier's captured statement really names the index, and a turn's ``SET LOCAL``
reaches the connection) lives in
``tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_recall.py`` (tasks 03/04) and the DDL
round trip in ``tests/integration/test_chunks_hnsw_index.py`` (task 01).
THIS file is the last mile: one question, in a real browser, over a real
import, with the index DROPPED and RESTORED around it — an A/B the owner
could run on their own box. The corpus is 11 small documents, so Postgres'
cost model may well serve BOTH arms from a sequential scan; that is stated,
not hidden. An index at this size is not a speed claim, it is a
**non-regression** claim, and the only non-regression that matters is the
answer. So what is compared between the arms is what reached the model: the
durable retrieval record (``query_log.sources`` / ``top_score`` /
``chunk_hits`` / ``fts_hits`` — LOCKED A3's witness), the ``done`` frame's
tiers, and the rendered "Nearby docs, in case" row. The DDL state is read
back from the catalog INSIDE each arm, so "OFF" can never quietly mean "ON".
Both sentinels are calibrated against the deterministic mock embedder (the
``tests/e2e/test_retrieval_quality.py`` convention, not invented) and the
margins are quoted in the units the honesty gate reads:
* ANSWERED — ``"How do I raise the tilecache eviction watermark so the hot
zoom levels stay pinned?"`` → best cosine **0.6187**, lexical (FTS) hits
**10**, leading document ``hnswkb/infra/tilecache.md``. ``0.6187 >= 0.30``
is A8's HIGH quadrant by a margin of 0.32, so neither arm can flip on a
rounding difference.
* DEFLECTED — ``"Which bow should I draw for a baroque viola sonata?"`` (no
note in this KB can answer it) → best cosine **0.1706**, lexical hits **0**.
A8 deflects only on weak cosine AND zero lexical hits, and both halves hold
with room: 0.13 BELOW the 0.30 threshold, and a lexical side that is empty
rather than merely low.
Run in isolation (DB up: ``podman compose up -d db``, schema at head so
``0029`` has run — the module fails loudly, never vacuously, if it has not):
uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_vector_index_recall.py -v --no-cov
MOCK-ONLY suite: ``E2E_REAL_LLM=1`` is not supported — the cosine and lexical
numbers above are properties of the deterministic mock, and the parity pins
compare them exactly between the two arms.
Isolation (the house shape): ONE module app on its own port (the conftest
session app owns 8123 in a combined run), the mock LLM on the conftest port,
a dedicated ``BOR_SOURCES_DIR`` / ``BOR_PDF_PAGE_DIR`` so nothing writes into
the operator's, the shared E2E Postgres truncated BEFORE **and** AFTER every
test, and the KB re-imported through the REAL importer for every test — so
the HNSW insert path runs in every arm, including the ones that then drop the
index. The admin enters through the real form login.
Test → observable mapping (Playwright Mapping Rule — the rendered DOM is the
observable, the durable row is the witness, and the two are read as one
comparison):
1. ``test_answered_question_cites_the_same_document_indexed_or_not`` — the answered
sentinel, twice: with ``ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw`` present, then after the
real ``0029`` downgrade drops it (restored in ``finally``, and again by the
module guard). Both arms ground (no ``.is-deflected``, the mock marker
renders), both cite the SAME document — ``hnswkb/infra/tilecache.md`` first
in ``query_log.sources`` and first in the rendered row — and agree on
``top_score`` to within ``1e-9``, on ``chunk_hits`` and ``fts_hits``, and
on the byte-identical answer. The DDL really moved; the answer did not.
2. ``test_index_exists_and_is_valid_after_import`` — the import that just ran
left the index present, VALID in ``pg_index``, HNSW over
``vector_cosine_ops`` per ``pg_get_indexdef``, and carrying pages. An
INVALID index is silent (the failure ``0029`` exists to catch), so the
post-import state is pinned instead of assumed.
3. ``test_near_miss_question_still_deflects`` — the out-of-KB sentinel in
BOTH DDL arms: the amber deflection, the "Maybe try" chips, the ``done``
frame citing nothing, and the row's two gate inputs read in the units A8
defines. An index must never manufacture a high ``top_score``.
4. ``test_ef_search_setting_is_honoured`` — two extra apps on their own ports
with stdout captured (the surface the operator greps): ``BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH=150``
answers the sentinel normally and logs NO clamp line; ``=50`` answers it
just as well — same leading doc, same ``top_score`` — and logs the
operator-visible ``retrieval: ef_search=50 raised to 100 (A7 candidate
count)`` WARNING. The clamp keeps its promise in the browser, not only in
a unit test.

# Shop vacuum
Dust collection layout for the garage bench and the tools it serves.
- The cyclone bin empties at the driveway door, twice a week.
- Replace the final filter each season or the airflow drops noticeably.
- The hose is the flexible 4 inch line, never the rigid conduit.
- The saw runs on its own circuit so the motor start does not brown out
the bench outlets.
Airflow is measured at the hood with a cheap gauge; anything under the
marker means the cyclone needs emptying before anything else is checked.

# Coffee grinder notes
Burr alignment and dose calibration for the counter grinder. Nothing here
applies to the commercial machine at the shop.
- Grind finer when the shot runs short and sour.
- Clean the chute weekly; static holds grounds in the bend.
- Recalibrate the dose after any burr change with a blind basket test.
- Replace the basket screen when the base of the puck turns muddy.
The dial clicks are not linear near the fine end, so two clicks of
adjustment there behave like five clicks in the middle of the range.

# Kubernetes cluster
The cluster is three nodes with a control plane on `k8s-master-1` and two
workers. It runs the shelf services that want scheduling rather than a
static container.
- The ingress controller listens on 8443 and forwards to cluster services.
- etcd snapshots run nightly to the backup host and are kept for a month.
- Worker nodes join with a short-lived token minted for one hour.
- Storage is a local-path provisioner pinned to the nvme mount.
- Pod security labels are set per namespace, not cluster wide.
Upgrades are one control plane replica at a time, then the workers with a
cordon and drain. The ingress is the last thing to move because the
services behind it are checked by the shelf watchdog.

Three Proxmox hosts form the shelf cluster: node one is the hypervisor and
gateway, node two runs the always-on containers, node three is the GPU box.
- Storage is an LVM-thin pool on the nvme, over-commit watched weekly.
- Live migration uses a dedicated bridge, not the management iface.
- The watchdog restarts a container that misses three health checks.
- Corosync traffic rides the management bridge with multicast.
- Backups of the VM configs are taken before every host upgrade.
Node three is pinned for the inference workloads, so a migration off it is
manual and only happens for a scheduled host reboot.

# Restic backups
Restic backs up the media volume to the offsite bucket every night at 01:20
with a lock timeout of five minutes.
- The repository password lives in the vault, never in the env file.
- Prune keeps fourteen daily and eight weekly snapshots.
- Verification runs one read pass every Sunday, sampled rather than full.
- A failed lock means the previous run is still going; check before
forcing anything.
- Restores are tested quarterly against a scratch directory.
The media volume changes slowly, so a nightly run is usually small and the
sampled verification is enough to catch a corrupt pack file early.

# Ntfy relay
The ntfy relay runs on `notify-host-1` and fans alert payloads out to the
phones and the desktop notifier.
- Topic namespaces are per host, so a host can only publish into its own.
- Retention is twelve hours; anything older is dropped on the sweep.
- The access log lives at `/var/log/ntfy/access.log` and rotates weekly.
- SMTP fallback is disabled on purpose: a failed push is a signal, not
something to paper over with an email.
- The relay is fronted by the proxy on 443 with mutual TLS for publishers.
Publishing is a plain POST with the topic in the path. The relay stamps a
monotonic sequence number so a subscriber can detect a gap after a
reconnect, and the gap detection is what the shelf watchdog polls.

# Tilecache
Tilecache serves the vector tiles for the map boxes from `map-host-2`,
listening on port 8077 behind the reverse proxy. Everything below is the
shape of that cache on the shelf, not a general tile server guide.
## Cache budget and eviction
The cache budget is 40 GiB on the nvme. The eviction watermark sits at 88
percent of that budget: once the cache crosses the watermark, tilecache
evicts the coldest tiles until it drops back under it.
Raise the eviction watermark so the hot zoom levels stay pinned through a
bulk re-render:
1. `tilecache config set eviction-watermark 92`
2. `tilecache config set pin-zoom-floor 12`
3. `systemctl restart tilecache`
Zoom levels 12 to 15 are the hot set for the atlas layers, and the pin
floor keeps them resident while the watermark holds. Zoom 16 and above is
rendered on demand and is always evictable.
## Origin fetches
Origin fetches go to `origin.maps.internal`, and a slow origin reply is
treated as a miss after 900 ms. A stale origin reply keeps the previous
tile pinned rather than evicting the hot zoom set, so a watermark raise is
safe during a bulk re-render.
## Watermark maths
At a 40 GiB budget the 88 percent watermark means eviction starts at 35.2
GiB. The 92 percent setting moves that to 36.8 GiB, which buys roughly one
extra render pass of zoom 14 before anything cold is dropped.

# Wireguard hub
The Wireguard hub on `edge-host-1` is the only way into the shelf from a
laptop. Each device gets one peer entry and one allowed-IPs line.
- Listen port 51820/udp, one peer per device.
- Allowed IPs are per-device /32s; the hub does not advertise the LAN.
- Persistent keepalive is 25 seconds for the roaming peers.
- Key rotation is a manual ceremony: generate, swap the peer file, reload.
- The hub hands out addresses from 10.66.0.0/24, one /32 per peer.
A peer that roams between the mobile network and wifi must keep the same
endpoint or the hub drops the stale mapping after the keepalive window.
The routing table is re-read on a reload, so a swapped peer file needs no
reboot of the host.

"""Integration: migration 0029 (chunks.embedding HNSW index) — phase 188, task 01.
Drives the **real Alembic engine** against the live dev database
(``podman compose up -d db``), mirroring the house pattern of
``test_migration_0028.py`` (fixture upgrades to head at setup and
teardown so the dev DB is never left below head; tests target the
0028 → 0029 step explicitly so later migrations cannot break them):
* upgrade 0028 → 0029 → ``ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw`` exists,
``pg_index.indisvalid`` is TRUE, and ``pg_get_indexdef`` names
``USING hnsw`` + ``vector_cosine_ops`` + ``m=16`` + ``ef_construction=64``
(the D1 shape the recall pins of task 03 depend on);
* downgrade to 0028 → the index is GONE (A13 — reversible, ``CONCURRENTLY``),
the ``chunks`` table and its PK survive;
* upgrade back to head → the index is back and valid (round-trip);
* the D2 self-heal: with an INVALID index of that name deliberately
present, ``upgrade()`` drops it and rebuilds it VALID — no
``relation already exists`` error and no leftover INVALID index.
The INVALID state is forced with the documented superuser catalog
trick ``UPDATE pg_index SET indisvalid = false WHERE
indexrelid = CAST(:name AS regclass)`` — the same failure a killed
``CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`` leaves behind (pgvector cannot fail a
build on data, and the dev/test DB role is a superuser; a role
without catalog UPDATE rights gets a clean skip).
Pure-helper matrix tests (no DB): ``should_drop_invalid`` and
``is_valid`` over ``None`` / ``True`` / ``False``.
**Why every ``command.*`` call here is preceded by ``db.rollback()``
when the session was used.** psycopg3 keeps its transaction snapshot
alive while the session sits idle-in-transaction (measured: ``pg_stat
_activity.backend_xmin`` stays set where psql's clears), and ``CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY`` phase 3 waits for every older-snapshot
transaction to finish — an unreleased session parks the build FOREVER
(observed on the dev box). The test session must therefore hold no
open transaction while the concurrent DDL runs; the rollback is what
makes the file deterministic rather than flaky.
**Task 02 adds the ``ef_search`` half:** the knob the index needs is
applied with ``SET LOCAL`` inside the turn's own transaction, so the file
pins the SCOPING against the real server — after a ``SET LOCAL`` the same
transaction reports the (clamped) value and a NEW transaction reports the
server's own default again (LOCKED A4: no global GUC, nothing surviving
the request or a pool recycle).

"""Integration: the cosine tier USES ``ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw`` and the
top-100 did not move (phase 188, task 03 — the deterministic half of D4).
**The production numbers this pin stands in for** (read 2026-10-15, read-only):
414,220 chunks — all with a non-null ``embedding`` — a ``chunks`` relation of
≈ **3,000 MB** (database 3,147 MB), ``shared_buffers=128MB``, ``work_mem=4MB``,
a 3,904 MB host with **no swap**, pgvector **0.8.0**, and ``pg_indexes`` for
``chunks`` listing only ``chunks_pkey``, ``ix_chunks_document_id`` and
``ix_chunks_tsv`` (GIN): **no index on ``embedding``**. Every chat turn's A7
cosine tier (``ORDER BY embedding <=> :vec LIMIT 100``) was therefore a
sequential scan of that 3 GB relation.
Two CI pins, both deterministic and LLM-free:
1. **The plan pin** — ``EXPLAIN (FORMAT JSON)`` of the tier's own SELECT (the
statement object captured from
:func:`app.rag.retriever._vector_candidates`, compiled with literal binds so
the planner sees a real constant) names ``ix_chunks_embedding_hnsw`` and
contains no ``Seq Scan on chunks``. Its vacuity guard runs the SAME
statement with index scans refused and MUST see the seq scan, so the pin
cannot pass on a plan the index never influenced.
2. **The recall pin** — the index-backed top-100 against the EXACT cosine
top-100 of the fixture corpus: ``|overlap| / 100 >= 0.99`` for EVERY query
at the SHIPPED ``ef_search`` (400 since task 04's live battery; 100, the
A7 candidate count, was the task-02 default and the battery retired it),
each returned row's ``1 − distance`` equal to the exact cosine within
**1e-6**, and the mean one step DEEPER never below the mean at the shipped
value. Every recall run also re-reads the plan it just ran, because an
``ef_search`` the planner declines turns the "index" pin into a second
measurement of the sequential scan — a vacuous pass, and the one failure
mode this file exists to catch.
**Measured on this corpus** (5,000 chunks, ``TOP_K = 100``, 30 fixed-seed
queries, ``m = 16`` / ``ef_construction = 64`` from migration 0029):
``ef_search=100`` → mean top-100 overlap **0.9993**, per-query minimum **0.99**
(two of the thirty return 99/100), zero queries below the floor;
``ef_search=200`` and the shipped **400** → mean **1.0000**. Worst
``|cosine − exact cosine|`` over every
returned row: **5.7e-07**, and 1e-6 is the tightest tolerance that can hold —
``_vector_candidates`` publishes ``round(1 − distance, 6)``, which alone can move
a value by 5e-7, on top of the float4 rounding of the distance itself (~6e-8 at
this magnitude). The exact reference is computed over the vectors as the
database returned them, so the comparison measures the index. Setup stays inside the runtime guard:
generate ≈ 0.5 s, seed ≈ 2 s, ``CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`` ≈ 1.4 s, read-back +
exact top-100 ≈ 3.5 s — ≈ 8 s against the ~60 s target.
**What 5,000 rows proves and what it does not.** It is enough for a PLAN pin
(the planner needs a populated relation to prefer an ordered index scan over a
seq scan + top-N sort) and enough for a deterministic index-vs-exact
regression; it is not a proxy for 414k rows, because recall is a function of the
corpus shape and of graph density at 83× the size. The prod-scale gate is task
04 — the live retrieval battery, index off vs on, over the 1,000-document
replica KB, where every ``top_score``, top-5 set and A8 verdict must match.
**Corpus shape, and why it is not uniform noise.** One
``random.Random(20261015)`` stream in a fixed order: a 16-direction principal
subspace (one random unit direction per disjoint 48-dim block of the 768 —
disjoint blocks are orthonormal by construction, so no Gram–Schmidt and no
numerical drift), 40 unit centroids inside it, 5,000 chunks of
``normalise(centroid + 2.0 × a random subspace direction)`` (125 per cluster),
then 30 queries drawn uniformly from the same subspace. Low EFFECTIVE rank (16
of the 768 stored dimensions carry the structure; every dimension is still
non-zero) is deliberate: it is how trained text embeddings behave (their
spectrum concentrates far below the nominal dimension), and it is the shape
under which ``ef_search == LIMIT`` can be expected to return the exact top-100.
The counter-case is recorded here because measuring it is a finding of this
task: the same 5,000 rows with the cluster bias thinned to a whisper (centroid
weight 0.1 over per-dimension Gaussian noise across all 768 dimensions —
effectively iid, the hardest shape a graph index can be handed, and the one
this file's sweep ran at centroid weights 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 alike) measures mean
recall@100 ≈ **0.63** at ``ef_search=100``, ≈ **0.85** at 200 and **1.00** from
400 up, whatever ``m`` / ``ef_construction`` migration 0029 ships. ``ef_search``
at the candidate count is therefore NOT a free win on high-effective-rank data;
if the live battery moves a ``top_score`` or a top-5 set, LOCKED A3's answer is
to raise ``BOR_RETRIEVAL_EF_SEARCH`` (towards 400), never to relax an assertion
here.
The index is built by migration **0029** and never by an inline ``CREATE
INDEX`` — the migration is the single definition of the index these pins name
(``0029 → 0028`` → seed unindexed → ``upgrade 0029``). As in
``test_chunks_hnsw_index.py``, the seeding session holds NO open transaction
while the ``CONCURRENTLY`` DDL runs (an idle-in-transaction snapshot parks the
build), and teardown leaves the dev DB at head, index valid, fixture rows gone.
