Chris Coutinho 4ea5ed72d4 feat: Add Grafana dashboard and vector sync metric instrumentation
Implement comprehensive observability for vector database synchronization
with Grafana dashboard and Prometheus metrics.

## Part 1: Grafana Dashboard

Created all-in-one operations dashboard with 7 rows and 34 panels:

### Dashboard Structure:
- **Overview Row**: Request rate, error rate, P95 latency, active requests
- **HTTP Metrics (RED)**: Request/error rates by endpoint, latency percentiles
- **MCP Tools**: Call volume, error rates, execution duration by tool
- **Nextcloud API**: API calls/latency by app, retry patterns
- **OAuth & Authentication**: Token validations, exchanges, cache hit rate
- **Dependencies & Health**: Status for Nextcloud/Qdrant/Keycloak/Unstructured
- **Vector Sync**: Processing throughput, queue depth, Qdrant operations

### Helm Chart Integration:
- Added dashboard-configmap.yaml template for automatic provisioning
- Configured Grafana sidecar auto-discovery (label: grafana_dashboard="1")
- Added dashboards configuration section in values.yaml (opt-in)
- Updated Chart.yaml with dashboard annotations
- Enhanced NOTES.txt with dashboard deployment instructions
- Comprehensive documentation in dashboards/README.md

Dashboard supports dynamic filtering via variables:
- datasource: Prometheus data source selection
- namespace: Filter by Kubernetes namespace
- pod: Multi-select pod filtering
- interval: Query interval (1m/5m/10m/30m/1h)

## Part 2: Vector Sync Metric Instrumentation

Implemented metric recording throughout vector sync pipeline:

### metrics.py:
Added convenience functions:
- record_vector_sync_scan() - Track documents per scan
- record_vector_sync_processing() - Track processing duration/status
- record_qdrant_operation() - Track database operations
- update_vector_sync_queue_size() - Track queue depth

### scanner.py:
- Record number of documents found in each scan
- Enables monitoring of scan throughput

### processor.py:
- Record processing duration for each document
- Track success/failure status with timing
- Record Qdrant upsert/delete operations
- Handle all code paths (success, deletion, error)

### semantic.py:
- Wrap Qdrant query_points with try/except
- Record search operation success/failure

## Metrics Exposed:

- mcp_vector_sync_documents_scanned_total
- mcp_vector_sync_documents_processed_total{status}
- mcp_vector_sync_processing_duration_seconds (histogram)
- mcp_vector_sync_queue_size (gauge)
- mcp_qdrant_operations_total{operation,status}

This enables monitoring of:
- Scan and processing throughput
- Processing latency (P50/P95/P99)
- Error rates for processing and Qdrant operations
- Queue depth trends
- Complete observability of vector sync pipeline

## Testing:

Verified locally that metrics are recorded correctly:
- 36 documents scanned
- 3 documents processed (avg 7.5s each)
- 3 successful Qdrant upsert operations
- Search operations tracked

## Deployment:

Enable dashboard provisioning in Helm values:
```yaml
dashboards:
  enabled: true
  grafanaFolder: "Nextcloud MCP"
```

"""
Semantic search with LLM-generated answer using MCP sampling.
Retrieves relevant documents from indexed Nextcloud apps (notes, calendar, deck,
files, contacts) using vector similarity search, then uses MCP sampling to request
the client's LLM to generate a natural language answer based on the retrieved context.
This tool combines the power of semantic search (finding relevant content across
all your Nextcloud apps) with LLM generation (synthesizing that content into
coherent answers). The generated answer includes citations to specific documents
with their types, allowing users to verify claims and explore sources.
The LLM generation happens client-side via MCP sampling. The MCP client
controls which model is used, who pays for it, and whether to prompt the
user for approval. This keeps the server simple (no LLM API keys needed)
while giving users full control over their LLM interactions.
Args:
query: Natural language question to answer (e.g., "What are my Q1 objectives?" or "When is my next dentist appointment?")
ctx: MCP context for session access
limit: Maximum number of documents to retrieve (default: 5)
score_threshold: Minimum similarity score 0-1 (default: 0.7)
max_answer_tokens: Maximum tokens for generated answer (default: 500)
Returns:
SamplingSearchResponse containing:
- generated_answer: Natural language answer with citations
- sources: List of documents with excerpts and relevance scores
- model_used: Which model generated the answer
- stop_reason: Why generation stopped
Note: Requires MCP client to support sampling. If sampling is unavailable,
the tool gracefully degrades to returning documents with an explanation.
The client may prompt the user to approve the sampling request.
Examples:
>>> # Query about objectives across multiple apps
>>> result = await nc_semantic_search_answer(
... query="What are my Q1 2025 project goals?",
... ctx=ctx
... )
>>> print(result.generated_answer)
"Based on Document 1 (note: Project Kickoff), Document 2 (calendar event:
Q1 Planning Meeting), and Document 3 (deck card: Implement semantic search),
your main goals are: 1) Improve semantic search accuracy by 20%,
2) Deploy new embedding model, 3) Reduce indexing latency..."
