phase: 188_chunks_hnsw_index
**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`.

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.
