This commit addresses critical performance issues with vector visualization
search (reducing time from 40s to ~2s) and improves result visualization
through better visual encoding.
## Performance Fixes
### 1. Fix blocking sleep in retry decorator (base.py:51)
- Changed `time.sleep(5)` to `await anyio.sleep(5)` in @retry_on_429
- Prevents entire event loop from freezing during rate limit retries
- Impact: Reduced search time from 22s to 16s initially
### 2. Add concurrency limiting for verification (verification.py:77-93)
- Added `anyio.Semaphore(20)` to limit concurrent HTTP requests
- Prevents connection pool exhaustion (RequestError) from 90+ simultaneous requests
- Fixes false filtering (was filtering 77/90 results incorrectly)
- Note: Semaphore still in code but verification removed from viz endpoint
### 3. Remove unnecessary verification from viz endpoint (viz_routes.py:483-486)
- Visualization only needs Qdrant metadata (title, excerpt), not full content
- Verification only required for sampling (LLM needs full note content)
- Impact: Reduced search time from 43.7s to ~2s (final fix)
### 4. Restore streaming scanner pattern (scanner.py)
- Process notes one-at-a-time using async generator
- Avoids loading all notes into memory
## Visualization Improvements
### 5. Result-relative score normalization (viz_routes.py:489-504)
- Normalize scores within result set: best=1.0, worst=0.0
- Removes arbitrary RRF normalization (theoretical max didn't make sense)
- Makes visual encoding meaningful regardless of algorithm scores
### 6. Power scaling for marker sizes (userinfo_routes.py:743)
- Changed from linear `8 + (score * 12)` to power `6 + (score² * 14)`
- Creates dramatic visual contrast: 0.0→6px, 0.5→9.5px, 1.0→20px
- Combined with opacity (0.2-1.0) for clear visual hierarchy
### 7. Multi-channel visual encoding (userinfo_routes.py:740-745)
- Size: Exponentially scaled with score²
- Opacity: Linear 0.2-1.0 (keeps all points visible)
- Color: Viridis gradient (blue→yellow)
- Effect: Top results are large/bright/opaque, context results small/dim/transparent
## Result
- Search time: 40s → ~2s (20x faster)
- Visual contrast: Subtle → dramatic (clear result hierarchy)
- No arbitrary cutoffs: All results visible, best naturally highlighted

Simplifies the OpenTelemetry tracing setup by removing the redundant
OTEL_ENABLED flag and using the presence of OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
to determine if tracing should be enabled. This follows the standard
OpenTelemetry environment variable conventions more closely.
Changes:
- Remove OTEL_ENABLED/tracing_enabled flag in favor of checking if
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set
- Add OTEL_EXPORTER_VERIFY_SSL configuration option for OTLP endpoints
with self-signed certificates (defaults to false for development)
- Move HTTPXClientInstrumentor initialization to module level to ensure
httpx calls are traced across all Nextcloud API requests
- Add tracing spans to vector sync operations (scan_user_documents)
- Fix authorization header logging to only warn about missing headers
in OAuth mode (BasicAuth mode doesn't use Authorization headers)
- Update observability documentation to reflect simplified configuration
- Refactor Dockerfile to use --no-editable flag for uv sync
Breaking changes:
- OTEL_ENABLED environment variable is removed
- Tracing is now automatically enabled when OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
is set
Migration guide:
- Remove OTEL_ENABLED=true from environment configuration
- Tracing will be enabled automatically if OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
is configured

The Nextcloud Notes API intentionally returns all note IDs (with only 'id'
field) in the last chunk to enable deletion detection. Without using the
pruneBefore parameter, this causes duplicates - all notes appear with full
data in chunks, then again with minimal data in the last chunk.
This commit implements proper pruneBefore support:
- NotesClient.get_all_notes() now accepts prune_before timestamp parameter
- Scanner calculates max(indexed_at) from Qdrant to use as prune threshold
- Only notes modified after this timestamp are sent with full data
- Deduplication logic handles the API's deletion detection pattern
- Significantly reduces data transfer for incremental syncs
The behavior is documented in Notes API v1 spec - this is not an API bug,
but a feature we weren't utilizing correctly.

The default 5s timeout was too short for Nextcloud Cookbook app to fetch and process recipes from external URLs, causing intermittent test failures with ReadTimeout errors.
Fixes intermittent CI failures in cookbook import tests.
- Import recipes from URLs using schema.org metadata
- Full CRUD operations for recipes
- Search, categorize, and organize recipes
- Manage keywords/tags and categories
- Configure app settings and trigger reindexing
