This commit enhances the vector visualization interface with better score
transparency and improved UX:
**Dual-Score Display:**
- Store original algorithm scores before normalization (viz_routes.py:203)
- Display both raw and normalized scores: "Raw Score: 0.842 (89% relative)"
- Update plot hover text with dual scores (userinfo_routes.py:740)
- Fixes issue where all queries showed at least one 100% match regardless
of actual relevance (normalization artifact)
**UI Improvements:**
1. Fusion Method dropdown: Changed from x-show to :disabled
- Prevents jarring layout shift when switching algorithms
- Dropdown stays visible but grayed out when Semantic is selected
- Better UX with opacity: 0.5 and cursor: not-allowed
2. Score Threshold: Changed step from 0.1 to "any"
- Allows arbitrary float precision (0.7, 0.85, 0.123)
- Users can now fine-tune threshold values
3. Document Types: Converted multi-select to checkbox grid
- Replaced clunky Ctrl/Cmd multi-select listbox
- Checkbox grid with cleaner layout
- Positioned left of Score Threshold and Result Limit inputs
- More intuitive UX
**Technical Details:**
- Raw score ranges vary by algorithm:
- Semantic: 0.0-1.0 (cosine similarity)
- BM25 RRF: ~0.001-0.033 (Reciprocal Rank Fusion)
- BM25 DBSF: Can exceed 1.0 (Distribution-Based Score Fusion)
- Normalized scores (0-1) used for visual encoding (marker size, color)
- Original scores preserved in API response via getattr fallback

- nextcloud_mcp_server/auth/templates/vector_viz.html (UI controls)

Fix false-positive validation error where DBSF (Distribution-Based Score
Fusion) correctly produces scores > 1.0 but SearchResult validation
incorrectly rejected them.
**Root Cause**: SearchResult.__post_init__() enforced scores in [0.0, 1.0]
range, but DBSF sums normalized scores from multiple retrieval systems
(dense semantic + sparse BM25), resulting in scores like 1.55 when both
systems strongly agree a document is relevant.
**Changes**:
- Relaxed validation to allow any score ≥ 0.0 (algorithms.py:147-157)
- Updated SearchResult and SemanticSearchResult documentation to explain
score ranges for RRF ([0.0, 1.0]) vs DBSF (unbounded)
- Added comprehensive test coverage for both fusion methods
- Added DBSF fusion option to vector visualization UI
- Updated viz routes and vizApp() to support fusion parameter selection
**Testing**: All 157 unit tests pass, type checking passes, ruff passes
Fixes error: "Configuration error: Score must be between 0.0 and 1.0, got 1.1528953"
