⚠️ 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- AI returning outdated/irrelevant information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
