Implements optional context expansion for semantic search results that
fetches adjacent chunks (N-1 and N+1) from Qdrant to provide before/after
context. Removes configurable chunk overlap (default 200 chars) to avoid
duplicate text appearing in both context and excerpt.
Key changes:
- Add include_context and context_chars parameters to nc_semantic_search
and nc_semantic_search_answer tools
- Implement Qdrant cache fast path for chunk retrieval (avoids re-fetching
and re-parsing documents, especially important for PDFs)
- Add _get_chunk_by_index_from_qdrant() to fetch adjacent chunks
- Remove chunk overlap from before_context (last N chars) and after_context
(first N chars) to prevent duplicate text
- Fetch context in parallel with anyio.Semaphore (max 20 concurrent)
- Pass through page_number from SearchResult to SemanticSearchResult
- Remove document-level deduplication (keep chunk-level dedup from algorithm)
Context expansion is opt-in via include_context=true parameter. When enabled:
- Populates has_context_expansion, marked_text, before_context, after_context
- Adds truncation flags when context exceeds context_chars limit
- Falls back to document fetch for legacy data with truncated excerpts

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
