- Replace sequential Qdrant scroll calls with batch retrieve
(50 HTTP requests → 1 request, ~50x faster vector fetch)
- Add point_id to SearchResult to enable batch retrieval by Qdrant point ID
- Reuse query embedding from search algorithm in viz_routes
(eliminates redundant embedding call, saves ~30ms)
- Make BM25 encode() async with thread pool to avoid blocking event loop
(~4.4s was blocking, now properly async)
- Run PCA computation in thread pool to avoid blocking event loop
(~1.2s was blocking, now properly async)

Introduces a placeholder-based state tracking system to prevent duplicate
document processing during the gap between scanner queuing and processor
completion.
**Key Changes:**
1. **Placeholder Helper Functions** (`vector/placeholder.py`):
- `write_placeholder_point()` - Creates zero-vector placeholder when queuing
- `query_document_metadata()` - Queries for existing entry (placeholder or real)
- `delete_placeholder_point()` - Removes placeholder before writing real vectors
- `get_placeholder_filter()` - Filters placeholders from user-facing queries
2. **Scanner Updates** (`vector/scanner.py`):
- Replace `indexed_at` comparison with `modified_at` comparison
- Write placeholder before queuing each document
- Query per-document metadata instead of bulk-querying indexed_at
- Fixes bug where files were resubmitted every scan cycle
3. **Processor Updates** (`vector/processor.py`):
- Delete placeholder before upserting real vectors
- Ensures no duplicate points in Qdrant
4. **Query Filters** (all search files):
- Add `get_placeholder_filter()` to all user-facing queries
- Ensures placeholders never appear in search results or visualizations
- Applied to: bm25_hybrid.py, semantic.py, viz_routes.py, algorithms.py
**Architecture:**
- Placeholders use zero vectors with dimension from embedding service
- Payload includes `is_placeholder: True` flag for filtering
- Status field tracks: "pending", "processing", "completed", "failed"
- Deterministic UUIDs using uuid5 for consistent point IDs
**Impact:**
- Eliminates duplicate processing of same documents
- Fixes race condition where long-running documents get queued multiple times
- Prevents scanner from resubmitting files every scan cycle
- Maintains clean separation between in-flight and indexed documents

Major improvements to vector visualization page:
- Refactor PCA to display individual chunks instead of averaged documents
- Add context expansion module for fetching surrounding text from notes and PDFs
- Update deduplication to use (doc_id, doc_type, chunk_start, chunk_end) keys
- Fix Alpine.js rendering with chunk-specific keys including offsets
- Refactor authentication helper to return NextcloudClient for better reuse
- Add async context manager support to NextcloudClient
Technical details:
- viz_routes.py: Fetch specific chunk vectors instead of averaging per document
- context.py: New module supporting both notes and PDF text extraction via PyMuPDF
- search algorithms: Extract page_number, chunk_index, total_chunks from Qdrant
- vector-viz.js/html: Use chunk positions in expansion tracking keys
This enables users to see which specific chunks match their query
and view them with surrounding context in the PCA visualization.

This commit addresses multiple issues with async operations, PDF metadata
extraction, and type safety in document processing and search.
## Async/Await Fixes
- processor.py:259 - Added await for chunker.chunk_text(content)
- processor.py:270 - Added await for bm25_service.encode_batch(chunk_texts)
- tests/unit/test_document_chunker.py - Converted all 12 test methods to async
## PDF Metadata Enhancement
- pymupdf.py:143 - Added file_size metadata extraction
- pymupdf.py:145-206 - Refactored to extract text page-by-page
- Manually loop through pages instead of using page_chunks=True
- Generate page_boundaries metadata for precise page tracking
- Works around pymupdf.layout.activate() breaking page_chunks=True
- processor.py:32-66 - Added assign_page_numbers() helper function
- Assigns page numbers to chunks based on overlap with page boundaries
- Handles chunks spanning multiple pages
- processor.py:298-300 - Call assign_page_numbers() for PDF files
## Type Safety Fixes
- bm25_hybrid.py:184 - Removed int() conversion of doc_id
- semantic.py:131 - Removed int() conversion of doc_id
- viz_routes.py:275 - Removed int() conversion of doc_id
- Added comments documenting that doc_id can be int (notes) or str (file paths)
## Testing
- All 18 tests passing (12 unit + 6 integration)
- No type errors in modified files
- Container logs show successful processing
- Vector viz searches working correctly

Track character offsets (start_offset, end_offset) for each chunk in vector
database metadata, enabling precise chunk highlighting in visualization pane.
Changes:
- processor.py: Store chunk_start_offset and chunk_end_offset in Qdrant metadata
- processor.py: Added metadata_version=2 to indicate position tracking support
- search/semantic.py: Return chunk positions from search results
- server/semantic.py: Expose chunk positions in API responses (SemanticSearchResult)
Enables viz pane to:
1. Display exact matched chunk with surrounding context
2. Highlight the precise portion of text that matched the query
3. Build user trust by showing what the RAG system actually retrieved
Position tracking uses ChunkWithPosition dataclass from document_chunker.py
which provides character-accurate offsets in the original document.

Move access verification from individual search algorithms to final output
stage, eliminating redundant API calls and improving performance.
## Changes
**New:**
- `search/verification.py`: Centralized verification using anyio task groups
- Deduplicates results by (doc_id, doc_type) before verification
- Verifies all unique documents in parallel using structured concurrency
- Filters out inaccessible documents in single pass
**Modified Search Algorithms:**
- `search/semantic.py`: Removed _deduplicate_and_verify() and _verify_document_access()
- `search/keyword.py`: Removed _verify_access() and parallel verification
- `search/fuzzy.py`: Removed _verify_access() and parallel verification
- `search/hybrid.py`: Removed nextcloud_client parameter passing
All algorithms now return unverified results from Qdrant payload.
**Modified Output Stages:**
- `server/semantic.py`: Added verify_search_results() call after search
- `auth/viz_routes.py`: Added verify_search_results() call after search
Both endpoints now verify access once at final stage with deduplication.
## Performance Impact
**Before:**
- Hybrid mode (limit=10): 30 API calls (10 per algorithm × 3 algorithms)
- Single algorithm: 10-20 API calls (with verification buffer)
**After:**
- Hybrid mode (limit=10): 10 API calls (deduplicated verification)
- Single algorithm: 10 API calls (deduplicated verification)
**Performance Gain:** 3x reduction in API calls for hybrid search
## Architecture Benefits
- **Separation of concerns**: Algorithms handle scoring, output stage handles security
- **Deduplication**: Each document verified exactly once
- **Parallel execution**: All verifications run concurrently via anyio task groups
- **Consistency**: Same verification logic across MCP tools and viz endpoints

Implements NextcloudClientProtocol for multi-document type search following
user requirement that document types are not 1:1 with apps (e.g., Notes app
specializes in markdown, while Files/WebDAV handles multiple file types).
Key Changes:
- NextcloudClientProtocol: Generic protocol with app-specific client properties
- get_indexed_doc_types(): Query Qdrant for actually-indexed document types
- Document dispatch: All algorithms check Qdrant before attempting access
- Cross-type deduplication: Use (doc_id, doc_type) tuples in hybrid RRF
Search Algorithm Updates:
- Semantic: Added _verify_document_access() with dispatch to appropriate client
- Deduplication by (doc_id, doc_type) tuple
- Only "note" verification implemented, others return None with info log
- Keyword: Added _fetch_documents() dispatch method
- Queries Qdrant for available types before fetching
- Supports cross-app search when doc_type=None
- Fuzzy: Same pattern as keyword search
- Hybrid: Already uses (doc_id, doc_type) for deduplication (no changes needed)
Future-Proof Design:
- File/calendar verification stubs in place
- Clear logging when unsupported types found
- Easy to extend when processor indexes new document types
Currently Supported:
- "note" documents fully implemented and tested
- Other types gracefully handled (logged but skipped)
