## ⚠️ ISSUE IDENTIFIED - NOT YET RESOLVED

### Document Retrieval Quality Problem

**Symptoms:**
- AI returning outdated/irrelevant information
- Finding old planning docs instead of current tasks.md
- Search relevance is poor despite 319 documents being embedded

**Test Results:**
- Query: "What are Tier 0 tasks from tasks.md?"
- Response: OLD data (Initial Server Setup, Network Configuration)
- Expected: CURRENT Tier 0 tasks (Whitelist Manager, NC1 Cleanup, Staff Recruitment)

**Root Cause:** Too many similar documents (319 docs includes archives, old sessions, multiple versions of same files)

---

## 🔄 NEXT SESSION - CHOOSE APPROACH

### Option A: Simplify Document Set (RECOMMENDED - 30 min)
Only sync essential current docs (~50-100 files)
Exclude archives, past-claudes, old sessions

### Option B: Tune Configuration (1-2 hours)
Increase topN, adjust similarity threshold

### Option C: Use Different Tool
Gitea search, Wiki.js, or grep scripts

### Option D: Hybrid Approach  
Codex for some use cases, traditional search for ops manual

## 🎯 NEXT SESSION PRIORITY

**MUST DECIDE:** Which option above before continuing Phase 2

**DO NOT:** Proceed with SSL/firewall/backups until retrieval works

## 🗂️ KEY FILES

- `/root/codex-sync.sh` - Sync script
- `/root/firefrost-operations-manual/` - Cloned repo on TX1
- `http://38.68.14.26:3001` - Codex URL
