Summary

Fix text deduplication, embedding input validation, worker admission and retrieval evaluation. Add regression tests and a bounded offline audit utility. Preserve the existing model and valid indexes; this pull request runs no ingestion.

Areas touched: Source intake and indexing, Answer engine, Clinical reference content, Knowledge and records

RAG impact: behaviour change — canary pair pending; no live runs claimed. A bounded, approved baseline/post-merge evaluation plan remains required for retrieval changes. The ingestion-deduplication pair belongs around targeted re-ingestion.

Verification

  • Repository-wide lint, typecheck and static checks passed on the integrated repair code.
  • Full offline suite: 34,156 passed, four failed, two skipped. The cleanup correction is included; affected provenance/safety checks passed 73 tests. Three bootstrap failures were caused by the host npm version; all 23 smoke tests passed with the cached pinned npm. The full suite was not rerun.
  • Production build passed.
  • Offline RAG: 26 suites / 1,001 tests passed.
  • Offline adversarial checks: 25 tests passed.
  • Interaction and lexicon-report checks passed.
  • Independent integration reviews found no material issue.
  • Current published head: a697de7d59503979d2afc43f312e42a6b1b2b4b5. The three inline review findings are fixed and resolved. Follow-up checks: 172 focused tests, typecheck and scoped lint passed. Full CI run 40440177216 is pending; the preceding ready CI run failed Lighthouse. No performance budget changed. Draft-skipped jobs are not passing evidence.

Risk and rollout

  • Risk: parsing and retrieval behavior changes require the existing validation controls.
  • Rollback: revert the code changes as a unit; no document generation is replaced by publishing this PR.
  • PR marked ready for review at the owner's merge request so full pre-merge CI can run. Merge remains gated on required checks, the protected live evaluation plan/evidence and applicable deployment review. No automatic merge or safeguard bypass.
  • Verification not run: live provider evaluations or ingestion. No paid-run authority is inferred from the PR request.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Search results using forced vector retrieval no longer include matches based only on text; standard hybrid search continues to include text matches.
    • Document chunking now preserves meaningful differences in symbols, capitalization, and punctuation while still treating whitespace-only differences as duplicates.
    • Source-change records now reject impossible calendar dates.
  • Reliability

    • Ingestion rejects oversized embedding inputs and incompatible embedding configurations before processing.
    • Rollbacks are blocked when jobs are active or the target generation has no restorable pages.
    • Legacy documents with incomplete extraction or poor core quality are not promoted.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates ingestion validation, chunk deduplication, and embedding input limits. It isolates forced-vector retrieval from lexical sources, adds rollback preflight checks, strengthens retrieval-evaluation and provenance-export validation, and validates source-change dates.

Changes: Ingestion validation and deduplication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Worker embedding contract
worker/embedding-contract.ts, worker/main.ts, tests/worker-embedding-contract.test.ts, docs/ingestion-state-machine.md
The worker validates its configured model and dimensions before startup activity.
Legacy extraction and promotion checks
worker/legacy-index-promotion.ts, src/lib/index-quality.ts, worker/main.ts, tests/worker-legacy-promotion.test.ts, docs/ingestion-state-machine.md
Legacy processing checks extraction completeness before chunk insertion and assesses core quality before generation commit.
Chunk deduplication and impact audit
src/lib/chunking.ts, scripts/audit-chunk-dedup-impact.ts, tests/chunking.test.ts, tests/chunker-version-ratchet.test.ts, tests/audit-chunk-dedup-impact.test.ts, docs/reindex-runbook.md, docs/ingestion-state-machine.md, docs/organisation/systems/source-intake.json
Deduplication now normalizes whitespace only. The offline audit validates supplied evidence and reports fingerprint collisions without candidate text.
Embedding input admission
src/lib/embedding-input-budget.ts, tests/embedding-input-budget.test.ts, tests/embed-texts-integrity.test.ts, docs/ingestion-state-machine.md
Known-budget models reject inputs above the individual UTF-8 byte limit. Tests verify boundary handling and rejection before provider-client construction.

Forced-vector retrieval isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Vector-only candidate retrieval and cache behavior
src/lib/rag/rag.ts, src/lib/rag/rag-candidate-sources.ts, src/lib/rag/rag-hydration.ts, src/lib/deep-memory.ts, src/lib/rag/rag-cache.ts, tests/rag-force-vector-isolation.test.ts, tests/retrieval-query-variants.test.ts
Forced-embedding retrieval bypasses lexical-only candidate paths and memory fallback. Its cache keys distinguish vector-only results from ordinary retrieval.

Rollback planning safeguards

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rollback preflight and refusal rules
src/lib/reindex-rollback.ts, scripts/reindex-rollback.ts, tests/reindex-rollback.test.ts, docs/reindex-runbook.md
Rollback planning checks open jobs and target pages, includes preflight metadata in outcomes, and stops when required reads fail.

Retrieval evaluation validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evaluation artifact and per-case gate
scripts/compare-retrieval-eval.ts, tests/compare-retrieval-eval.test.ts
The strict gate validates artifact quality, case identifiers, failures, and content-MRR population consistency.

Source provenance export validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provenance export parsing and reporting
scripts/source-provenance-gaps.ts, tests/source-provenance-gaps.test.ts
The report rejects malformed exports and arguments, and reports whether an expected row count matched.

Source date validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Strict source dates
src/lib/sources/source-change-events.ts, tests/source-change-events.test.ts
Source-change dates now use strict calendar-date validation.

The remaining issues are bounded: a provenance report can be obscured, a misconfigured worker can miss its webhook alert, and a selective rollback scan can make unnecessary database reads. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up on these fixes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 25.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 48 functions across 30 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes the summary, areas touched, RAG impact, verification results, risk, rollback, provider effects, and rollout constraints. It omits the required Clinical Governance Preflight section, including evidence or explicit not-applicable statements, although this PR changes ingestion, retrieval, sources, and production behavior.

Resolution

Add the complete Clinical Governance Preflight section from the repository template. Mark each applicable item as checked only with supporting evidence, leave unverified items unchecked, and complete the Evidence / not applicable / unresolved field. Preserve the stated gaps for live provider evaluations, ingestion, clinical-owner approval, and deployment review where applicable.

483-484: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Make the document-mode fixture require separate chunks.

The current assertions only require both texts to appear somewhere. With the default 200-character overlap, the old lossy fingerprint can still retain both chunks. Stub CHUNK_OVERLAP before calling buildDocumentChunks, then assert that the matches are different chunks.

♻️ Suggested fix
   ])("retains document-mode chunks differing only by %s versus %s", async (left, right) => {
     // Identical qualification paragraphs force separate chunks in one page/section scope.
+    vi.stubEnv("CHUNK_OVERLAP", "0");
     const qualify = "synthetic source qualification for the retained observation. ".repeat(25);
     const texts = [left, right].map((value) => `synthetic result ${value} 1.5 units. ${qualify}`);
     const chunks = await buildDocumentChunks([
       { documentId: "doc-1", pageNumber: 1, pageText: texts.join("\n\n"), metadata: {} },
     ]);
-    expect(chunks.some((chunk) => chunk.content.includes(`synthetic result ${left} 1.5 units.`))).toBe(true);
-    expect(chunks.some((chunk) => chunk.content.includes(`synthetic result ${right} 1.5 units.`))).toBe(true);
+    const leftChunk = chunks.find((chunk) => chunk.content.includes(`synthetic result ${left} 1.5 units.`));
+    const rightChunk = chunks.find((chunk) => chunk.content.includes(`synthetic result ${right} 1.5 units.`));
+    expect(leftChunk).toBeDefined();
+    expect(rightChunk).toBeDefined();
+    expect(leftChunk).not.toBe(rightChunk);
   });

buildDocumentChunks resets modules before dynamically importing the chunker, so this stub is read when src/lib/env.ts initializes.
