Summary

Part of #2430 (2026-10-25 audit of its table against develop).

• search_anchors_bitmap (collection/search/query/graph_prefilter.rs) passed SearchQuality::default() (Balanced), so a graph-anchored NEAR over a large anchor set ignored [search] default_mode / ef_search. It now uses self.runtime_search_quality(), as batch.rs, text.rs, text_fusion.rs and graph_api.rs already do.
• A default config still resolves to Balanced: results change only for users who set a non-default [search] (same behaviour note as core: a search that sets only rerank runs at Balanced, not the configured [search] default #2399).

Status of the #2430 table (against develop at e75c6bd)

Site	State
hybrid_search (text.rs)	already fixed (#2459)
hybrid fusion streams (text_fusion.rs)	already fixed (#2459)
search_by_embedding on graph collections (graph_api.rs)	already fixed (#2459)
graph-anchored NEAR bitmap path	this PR
metadata-filtered NEAR via secondary-index bitmap (vector.rs, search_with_optional_bitmap)	not changed: it sizes its own ef_search = candidates_k.max(k * 10), so following [search] there is a design decision, not a one-line routing fix

Verification

• cargo check -p velesdb-core --features persistence, cargo fmt --all -- --check: clean.
• cargo test -p velesdb-core --features persistence --lib anchor -- --test-threads=1: 26 passed.

Not done

• No dedicated two-config test for this path. The bitmap branch only runs above ANCHORED_EXACT_SCORE_MAX (10 000 anchors), and search_near_with_anchor_ids is pub(crate), so a test in tests/search_config_defaults.rs needs a 10k+ node graph driven through VelesQL MATCH. Left for the maintainer to decide.
• Full scripts/local-ci.sh and pedantic clippy were not run.
• The head branch is claude/*, which pr-governance rejects; it needs renaming to a permitted prefix (e.g. fix/) before this can merge.

Two red checks on 0312cc5, neither a code failure:

• PR Governance / Git Flow & Freshness Checks: the head branch is claude/funny-fermat-99ev12; the gate only allows feature/ feat/ fix/ bugfix/ refactor/ chore/ docs/ style/ perf/ test/ build/ ci/ dependabot/. A PR's head branch cannot be renamed, so this needs the same commit pushed under e.g. fix/search-quality-graph-anchored-near and a new PR (this one closed as superseded). The session that opened this PR was bound to the claude/ branch name, so that move is the maintainer's call.
• cla-assistant: needs the author to post the CLA sentence from the bot's comment; that cannot be done on the maintainer's behalf.

The change itself (one line in graph_prefilter.rs) is unaffected; the remaining checks are still running.
