"""Hybrid retrieval: pgvector cosine ∪ Postgres FTS, RRF-fused (PLAN §6, A7).
* **Vector list** — top-N chunks by cosine distance (``embedding <=> $1``),
each carrying its cosine ``1 − distance`` (the honesty-gate input).
* **Lexical list** — top-N chunks matching an OR-``tsquery`` over the
question's tokens, ordered by ``ts_rank``. This is what finds
name-your-tool questions ("gitlab") that vector similarity buries.
* **Fusion** — Reciprocal Rank Fusion (``score = Σ 1/(k + rank)`` over the
lists a chunk appears in; chunks hit by both lists get both terms). The
fused score ranks; :meth:`select_documents` and :func:`weak_hit_titles`
keep working off ``score``.
The product requirement is unchanged (LOCKED A7): the LLM receives the
**entire relevant document**, not just the chunk — chunk hits map back to
their parents, dedupe, rank by best fused score, and the combined context
is capped at ``BOR_MAX_CONTEXT_CHARS``.
Deterministic tie-break for equal fused scores:
``(−fused, −cosine, document.path, chunk.position)``.
