Previously, pymupdf4llm.to_markdown() was called twice - once in
PyMuPDFProcessor during indexing and again in PDFHighlighter during
visualization. Different image path lengths caused different character
offsets, leading to highlighted pages not matching their chunks.
Also fixed issue where all chunks on the same page showed all highlights
instead of just their own highlight. Now restores original page contents
between chunks using xref stream caching.
Changes:
- Add PDFHighlighter class requiring pre-computed page_boundaries and
full_text from document processor (no fallback extraction)
- Pass pre-computed data from processor to highlighter
- Extract page-relative portion of chunk text for cross-page chunks
- Add bounding box highlighting using text anchor search
- Run highlight generation in parallel with embedding/BM25
- Cache and restore page contents to isolate highlights per chunk
Results: Highlighting success rate improved from 51% to 95% (121/128).

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

The processor was not setting is_placeholder field when writing real
document chunks to Qdrant. This caused the placeholder filter to exclude
all documents (since None != False), resulting in 0 search results.
Now explicitly sets is_placeholder: False in payload when writing real
indexed chunks, allowing search filters to correctly distinguish between
placeholders and real documents.
- Switch from sequential loop to /api/embed batch endpoint
- Use 'input' array parameter instead of individual 'prompt' requests
- Process in chunks of 32 to avoid quality degradation (issue #6262)
- Reduces HTTP overhead: 128 texts = 4 requests instead of 128
- Maintains backward compatibility with embed() for single embeddings
Ref: ollama/ollama#6262
- Changed from 2x (120s) to 5x (300s) scan interval
- Large PDFs take 3-4 minutes to process, need longer threshold
- Prevents premature requeuing of in-flight documents
- Only requeue documents if placeholder is older than 2x scan interval (120s default)
- Prevents scanner from immediately requeuing in-flight documents
- Fixes issue where PDFs were being reprocessed every 60 seconds
- Staleness check applied to both notes and files scanning logic
Qdrant validation rejects None for sparse vectors in named vector dicts.
Use models.SparseVector(indices=[], values=[]) instead to create valid
empty sparse vectors for placeholder points.

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

When vector visualization search returns zero results, the code was returning
query_coords: null, which caused JavaScript error "can't access property 0,
queryCoords is null" when the frontend tried to access the array.
Changed to return empty array [] to match expected type and prevent crash.

This commit fixes two critical issues with PDF processing:
1. **Text extraction mismatch (context expansion bug)**:
- Indexing used pymupdf4llm.to_markdown() producing markdown text
- Context expansion used page.get_text() producing plain text
- Different text formats caused character offset misalignment
- Search would find correct chunk, but expansion showed wrong section
- Fixed by making context.py use pymupdf4llm.to_markdown() consistently
2. **Diagnostic logging for page number assignment**:
- Added logging to verify page_boundaries exist in metadata
- Added logging to verify assign_page_numbers() assigns values
- Helps diagnose why page numbers show as null in search results
3. **mime_type storage bug**:
- Fixed incorrect field reference in processor.py:405
- Was using file_metadata.get("content_type", "")
- Should use content_type from WebDAV response
Changes:
- nextcloud_mcp_server/search/context.py: Use pymupdf4llm.to_markdown()
for PDF text extraction to match indexing method
- nextcloud_mcp_server/vector/processor.py: Add diagnostic logging for
page boundaries and assignment, fix mime_type storage
- tests/unit/client/test_webdav.py: Fix import sorting

- algorithms.py: Revert SearchResult.id to int (all docs use int IDs now)
- semantic.py: Revert SemanticSearchResult.id to int, remove Union import
- viz_routes.py: Remove str() conversion when querying doc_id from Qdrant
- viz_routes.py: Convert doc_id from query param to int in chunk context
Fixes vector visualization which was collapsing all chunks to a single
point because Qdrant queries were failing to match doc_id (string vs int).
- scanner.py: Use file_info['id'] as doc_id instead of file_path
- scanner.py: Pass file_path in DocumentTask for content retrieval
- processor.py: Store file_path in Qdrant payload for later lookup
- context.py: Add _get_file_path_from_qdrant() to resolve file_id → file_path
- context.py: Update get_chunk_with_context() to handle file ID resolution
This makes the system resilient to file renames since file IDs are stable
identifiers in Nextcloud, while file paths can change.
Notes are indexed as "{title}\n\n{content}" in processor.py but were
being retrieved as just content during chunk expansion, causing
chunk_start_offset and chunk_end_offset to be misaligned.
This fix reconstructs the full content structure when fetching notes
for chunk expansion, ensuring the displayed chunks match the excerpts
shown in search results.
Fixes chunk/excerpt mismatch reported in vector visualization.

- Get container dimensions before creating Plotly layout to render at correct size immediately
- Add init() method with window resize listener for responsive plot sizing
- Remove post-render resize call (no longer needed with explicit dimensions)
- Improve colorbar positioning and scene domain configuration
This eliminates the visual "jump" during initial render and ensures the plot resizes smoothly when the browser window changes size.

Two fixes for the vector visualization page:
1. **CSS Loading Fix**: Moved CSS <link> from vector_viz.html fragment
to user_info.html <head> block. HTMX fragments don't process <link>
tags in <head>, causing unstyled page. Now CSS loads correctly.
2. **Camera Preservation**: Modified renderPlot() to preserve camera
position when toggling query point visibility. Previously, toggling
the "Show Query Point" checkbox would reset zoom/rotation to default.
Now reads existing camera settings from plot before updating.

Migrates from custom word-based chunking to LangChain's MarkdownTextSplitter
for better semantic search quality. This implements the chunking portion of
ADR-011.
Changes:
- Replace custom regex word chunker with MarkdownTextSplitter
- Optimized for Markdown content (headers, code blocks, lists)
- Convert from word-based (512 words) to character-based (2048 chars) chunking
- Maintain backward-compatible ChunkWithPosition interface
- Update configuration defaults and validation
- Update all unit tests (12/12 passing)
Benefits:
- Respects markdown structure boundaries
- Never breaks code blocks or headers mid-chunk
- Preserves semantic coherence within chunks
- Expected 20-30% improvement in recall quality
- Industry-standard approach (used by production RAG systems)
Note: Full reindex required to apply new chunking to existing documents.
Current vector database still contains old word-based chunks.
