From be7b802cc14ab92ee4ba64946a191d03cb685faa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: funsaized Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:09:23 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(search): parse human-readable result dates (Serper integration) The live Serper contract returns dates as 'Oct 31, 2019', which neither ISO nor RFC-2822 parsing accepts. Every Serper result therefore parsed as undated, and any job setting freshness_days would have rejected all of them as stale_or_undated -- a defect the mocked tests could not expose, found on the first real API call. Adds explicit human-readable formats after the existing two, so shapes that already parsed are untouched. 340 tests green in-container.

ScopedRetrievalService.retrieve now takes job_id=None to mean the whole corpus. The job id is a filter, not a mode: the same fusion, per-source caps and needle channel run either way. The dense-only path is deleted, not deprecated. /query's topic_filter and tags_filter survive but relocate. They were Qdrant payload conditions; left there they would have narrowed the dense channel while the lexical channel searched the whole corpus. They now resolve to a document scope from job_sources, which is also the more correct source: a page found by two jobs on different topics belongs to both, and only job_sources records the second. Unscoping made row width matter: documents_for_job read whole rows, which corpus-wide meant decoding 44MB of markdown per query to obtain three identity columns. Both accessors are now projected. Corpus scope sends no identity filter, since enumerating every id would be equivalent but grows without bound. An empty list stays an error in both search_evidence and search_chunks -- that means a caller expected a scope and lost it, and silently widening is the failure the guard exists to catch. Under fusion /query reports the RRF score rather than a cosine: a similarity that contradicts the ordering would be worse. hub_retrieval_score still observes only candidates with a real cosine, and query latency moves off hub_embedding_duration_seconds -- which timed the whole retrieval under a name meaning one part of it -- onto hub_retrieval_duration_seconds. Verified: job-scoped retrieval fingerprinted over the ordered (document_id, chunk_index, score, channels, rrf_score) list for the six largest jobs (360 chunks) under the deployed image and the new one -- all six digests identical. Live against the real corpus, "how does reciprocal rank fusion combine rankings" draws 64 chunks from 33 sources across jobs. All 68,072 Qdrant points carry a document_id resolving in SQLite, so nothing is dropped. 357 tests pass in a throwaway container.
