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
Files modified:
- nextcloud_mcp_server/auth/viz_routes.py (store original_score)
- nextcloud_mcp_server/auth/templates/vector_viz.html (UI controls)
- nextcloud_mcp_server/auth/userinfo_routes.py (plot hover text)

Added support for two fusion algorithms (RRF and DBSF) to combine dense
semantic and sparse BM25 search results, with comprehensive documentation
and unit tests.
Changes:
- Added fusion parameter to nc_semantic_search and nc_semantic_search_answer tools
- Updated ADR-014 with detailed comparison of RRF vs DBSF fusion algorithms
- Added unit tests for fusion algorithm initialization and validation
- Updated search_method in responses to include fusion type (e.g., "bm25_hybrid_rrf")
Fusion Algorithms:
- RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion): Default, rank-based, general-purpose
- DBSF (Distribution-Based Score Fusion): Score normalization using statistics
RRF is recommended for most use cases due to its robustness and established
track record. DBSF may provide better results when retrieval systems have
very different score distributions.

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.

Extracted vector visualization HTML template to separate file to resolve
syntax conflicts between Jinja2, Alpine.js, and CSS. Added chunk context
endpoint for fetching matched chunks with surrounding text.
Changes:
- Moved vector_viz.html to templates/ directory (separates Jinja2/Alpine.js/CSS)
- Added /app/chunk-context endpoint for retrieving chunk text with context
- Updated .dockerignore to include HTML files in Docker builds
- Moved anthropic and boto3 to main dependencies (needed for production features)
- Added jinja2 dependency for template rendering
Fixes Jinja2 TemplateSyntaxError caused by CSS colons being parsed as
Jinja2 syntax when template was inline in Python code.

Fixed a critical infinite loop bug in document_chunker.py that occurred
when the overlap parameter caused the chunker to not make forward progress.
Changes:
- Added ChunkWithPosition dataclass to track character positions
- Refactored chunk_text() to use regex word matching for accurate position tracking
- Added safety check to ensure forward progress (next_start_idx > start_idx)
- Changed return type from list[str] to list[ChunkWithPosition]
The bug manifested when:
1. end_idx reached len(word_matches) (processing last chunk)
2. next_start_idx = end_idx - overlap would not advance past start_idx
3. Loop would continue indefinitely without making progress
Fix ensures chunker always terminates by breaking when not advancing.
All 9 unit tests now pass in 1.66s (previously timing out at 180s).

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"

The visualization UI was still using the old 'hybrid' algorithm name and
weight parameters that were replaced by the BM25 hybrid search refactor.
This caused "Unknown algorithm: hybrid" errors when using the search
& visualize feature.
Changes:
- Update default algorithm from 'hybrid' to 'bm25_hybrid'
- Update default scoreThreshold from 0.7 to 0.0 to match backend
- Remove deprecated semanticWeight, keywordWeight, fuzzyWeight parameters
- Remove weight parameters from search request
Fixes the visualization search functionality after BM25 hybrid refactor.

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
