Updates ADR-012 to clarify that all search and filtering operations
must happen server-side, not in the browser.
Key changes:
- Enhanced viz pane data flow showing server-side processing
- Added performance benefits section (384x bandwidth reduction)
- Detailed server-side filtering approach:
* Query execution via search/algorithms.py
* User ID filtering (multi-tenant security)
* Document type filtering
* PCA reduction (768-dim → 2D) on server
* Only 2D coordinates + metadata sent to client
- Updated Phase 3 implementation plan:
* Remove ALL client-side search logic
* Implement /app/vector-viz server endpoint
* htmx form submission for queries
* Performance optimizations (caching, streaming)
This ensures:
- Minimal bandwidth usage (only 2 floats per doc vs 768)
- Client handles only visualization, not computation
- Can visualize 10,000+ documents without client lag
- Raw vectors never leave server (security)
- Same search logic as MCP tool (consistency)
