Adds comprehensive vector search support for Nextcloud Deck cards,
including semantic search indexing, chunk preview in the vector viz UI,
and proper deep linking to cards.
**Vector Search Indexing**
- Add deck_card scanning in scanner.py (scan_deck_cards function)
- Index cards from non-archived, non-deleted boards
- Store metadata: board_id, board_title, stack_id, stack_title, card_type, duedate, owner
- Content structure: title + "\n\n" + description (matches indexing format)
- Incremental sync based on lastModified timestamp
- Deletion tracking with grace period
**Vector Visualization Support**
- Add deck_card handler in context.py for chunk preview expansion
- Include board_id in search result metadata (bm25_hybrid.py, semantic.py)
- Expose metadata in viz_routes.py JSON responses
- Update vector-viz.js to construct proper Deck URLs: /apps/deck/board/{board_id}/card/{card_id}
- Update vector_viz.html filter label from "Deck" to "Deck Cards"
**Bug Fixes**
- Skip soft-deleted boards (deletedAt > 0) to prevent 403 Forbidden errors
- Applies to scanner, processor, and context expansion code paths
- Deck API returns deleted boards but rejects stack access with 403
**Testing**
- Add integration tests in test_deck_vector_search.py:
- test_deck_card_semantic_search: Filtered search with doc_type="deck_card"
- test_deck_card_appears_in_cross_app_search: Cross-app search includes deck cards
- test_deck_card_chunk_context: Chunk context fetching for viz preview
**Documentation**
- Update README.md: Add Deck cards to semantic search feature list
- Update semantic-search-architecture.md: Document deck_card support
- Update nc_semantic_search tool documentation
**Type Safety**
- Fix type narrowing for page_boundaries (could be None) using cast()
- Fix scanner.py payload None check for type safety
Resolves vector search for Deck cards across indexing, search, and visualization.

ADR-016: For container runtime deployment, Smithery does not auto-generate
the .well-known/mcp-config endpoint like it does for Python CLI runtime.
Changes:
- Remove [tool.smithery] from pyproject.toml (not used in container mode)
- Remove smithery_server.py (Python CLI runtime specific)
- Add .well-known/mcp-config endpoint to return JSON Schema config
- Add SmitheryConfigMiddleware to extract config from URL query params
- Use ContextVar to pass session config to tool handlers
The container runtime passes config as URL query parameters to /mcp:
GET /mcp?nextcloud_url=...&username=...&app_password=...
Tested:
- All 164 unit tests passing
- Docker container builds successfully
- .well-known/mcp-config returns valid JSON Schema
- Health endpoints working

This PR enables safe switching between embedding models and multi-server
deployments by implementing auto-generated Qdrant collection names based on
deployment ID and model name.
## Problem
Previously, all deployments used a single hardcoded collection name
"nextcloud_content", which caused two critical issues:
1. **Dimension mismatches when switching models**: Changing
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL (e.g., nomic-embed-text at 768D → all-minilm at
384D) would cause runtime errors as vectors couldn't be inserted into a
collection with incompatible dimensions.
2. **Collection collisions in multi-server setups**: Multiple MCP servers
sharing a single Qdrant instance would overwrite each other's data,
making horizontal scaling impossible.
## Solution
### Auto-Generated Collection Naming
Collections are now automatically named using the pattern:
\`{deployment-id}-{model-name}\`
**Deployment ID**: Uses \`OTEL_SERVICE_NAME\` if configured (and not default
value), otherwise falls back to \`hostname\` for simple Docker deployments.
**Model Name**: From \`OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL\` with path separators sanitized.
**Examples**:
- \`my-mcp-server-nomic-embed-text\` (with OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=my-mcp-server)
- \`mcp-container-all-minilm\` (simple Docker, hostname=mcp-container)
**Override**: Users can still set \`QDRANT_COLLECTION\` explicitly to bypass
auto-generation for backward compatibility.
### Dimension Validation
Added startup validation that checks collection dimensions match the
embedding service. If a mismatch is detected, the server fails fast with a
clear error message explaining:
- Expected vs actual dimensions
- Likely cause (model change)
- Solutions (delete collection, use different name, or revert model)
### Improved Sampling Error Handling
Enhanced MCP sampling rejection handling to treat user rejections as normal
behavior rather than errors:
- **User rejections** ("rejected", "denied") → INFO log, no traceback
- **Unsupported clients** → INFO log, no traceback
- **Other MCP errors** → WARNING log, no traceback
- **Unexpected errors** → ERROR log WITH traceback
This aligns with the MCP specification where clients SHOULD prompt users for
approval/denial of sampling requests.
## Changes
### Core Implementation
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/config.py**: Added \`get_collection_name()\` method
with deployment ID detection and model name sanitization
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/vector/qdrant_client.py**: Dimension validation on
collection open with helpful error messages
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/vector/{scanner,processor}.py**: Updated to use
\`get_collection_name()\`
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/auth/userinfo_routes.py**: Vector sync status uses
\`get_collection_name()\`
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/server/semantic.py**:
- Updated semantic search tools to use \`get_collection_name()\`
- Improved sampling rejection error handling (McpError vs Exception)
### Documentation
- **docs/semantic-search-architecture.md**: New comprehensive architecture
document (557 lines) covering background sync, semantic search flow, RAG
implementation, and deployment modes
- **docs/configuration.md**: Added detailed "Qdrant Collection Naming"
section with examples and multi-server deployment guidance
- **docker-compose.yml**: Added comments explaining collection naming behavior
- **README.md**: Updated semantic search descriptions to clarify
experimental status, Notes-only support, and infrastructure requirements
## Migration Guide
**For existing single-server deployments:**
Option 1 (Recommended): Use explicit collection name for continuity
\`\`\`bash
QDRANT_COLLECTION=nextcloud_content # Keep existing collection
\`\`\`
Option 2: Allow auto-generation and re-embed
\`\`\`bash
# Remove QDRANT_COLLECTION override
# New collection will be created based on deployment ID + model
# Requires re-embedding all documents (may take time)
\`\`\`
**For new multi-server deployments:**
Set unique OTEL service names per server:
\`\`\`bash
# Server 1
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=mcp-prod
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL=nomic-embed-text
# → Collection: "mcp-prod-nomic-embed-text"
# Server 2
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=mcp-staging
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL=nomic-embed-text
# → Collection: "mcp-staging-nomic-embed-text"
\`\`\`
## Benefits
✅ **Safe model switching**: Each model gets its own collection, preventing
dimension mismatch errors
✅ **Multi-server support**: Multiple MCP servers can share one Qdrant
instance without conflicts
✅ **Clear ownership**: Collection names show which deployment and model owns
the data
✅ **Better error messages**: Dimension validation provides actionable
guidance
✅ **Backward compatible**: Existing deployments can continue using
\`QDRANT_COLLECTION\` override
## Testing
Validated with:
- Single-server deployments (default hostname-based naming)
- Multi-server deployments (OTEL service name-based naming)
- Model switching scenarios (dimension validation)
- Collection override scenarios (backward compatibility)
Next steps: Testing various Ollama embedding models to investigate optimal
chunk sizes and performance characteristics.

Update ADRs to reflect that vector database and semantic search support
multiple Nextcloud apps (notes, calendar, deck, files, contacts) rather
than being notes-specific. Introduce semantic:read/write OAuth scopes
to replace app-specific scope requirements for cross-app search.
Changes:
- ADR-007: Add plugin architecture (DocumentScanner, DocumentProcessor,
DocumentVerifier) for multi-app vector sync
- ADR-008: Rename tools from nc_notes_semantic_* to nc_semantic_*, update
scope from notes:read to semantic:read
- ADR-009: NEW - Document decision to use generic semantic:read scope
with dual-phase authorization instead of requiring all app scopes
- oauth-architecture.md: Add semantic:read/write scope documentation
- README.md: Move semantic search to dedicated section separate from Notes
This is a breaking change that correctly positions semantic search as a
cross-app capability before broader adoption. Existing deployments will
need to re-authenticate with the new semantic:read scope.
Relates to user request to decouple vector database from notes-only model
and establish proper OAuth scope boundaries for multi-app semantic search.
