## Summary

**Status**: Phases 1-4, 7 complete. 51 tests passing (Phase 3+4: 30 new). Ready for Phases 5-6.

**Latest commit**: Phase 3+4 implementation complete

- ✅ Path resolution (relative `../../../` support)
- ✅ 5 unit tests, all passing
- ✅ Export from `mem-ingest` crate

### Phase 2: Scoring Pipeline (SOLID design)
- ✅ `DocumentScorer` trait (single interface for all scorers)
- ✅ `GlobalTfIdfScorer`, `ProjectTfIdfScorer`, `SemanticScorer`
- ✅ `MetadataBoostingScorer` (decorator pattern)
- ✅ `ScoringPipeline` orchestrator with RRF fusion
- ✅ 5 unit tests, all passing
- ✅ Export from `mem-core` crate

### Phase 7: RBAC + PolicyProvider

- ✅ `KvCacheAligner`: slot assignment, preload
- ✅ `RetrievalProfiler`: stage timing
- ✅ 12 unit tests, all passing

---

## Integration Tests ✅

### it_phase3_phase4.rs (19 tests)
- Wiki-link parsing and graph traversal
- Hybrid retrieval route selection
- TF-IDF prefiltering + RRF fusion
- Chunk optimization (threshold, budget, dedup)
- QueryRouter end-to-end (wiki-scoped + direct)
- Wiki distance calculation
- Edge cases (empty, no matches)

---

## Not Started ❌

### Phase 5-6 End-to-End
- QueryOrchestrator with metadata boost
- Production cache alignment
- Performance benchmarks
- Homelab test vault setup

---

## Architecture Decisions Made

| Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|
| **Trait-based design** | Pluggable: swap scorers/providers without code changes |
| **Decorator pattern** | Composition over inheritance (MetadataBoostingScorer) |
| **ScoringPipeline** | Unifies all scoring variants (global, project, semantic) |
| **PolicyProvider trait** | Support Vault/Postgres/Redis transparently |
| **AccessChecker composition** | Split fat method into 3 single-purpose checkers |
| **Test fixtures builders** | DRY: reusable OidcClaimsBuilder, AccessPolicyBuilder |
| **MockPolicyProvider** | Fast, no-I/O testing without Vault dependency |

## Next Steps (Priority Order)

### Immediate (Today/Tomorrow)
1. **Phase 5-6 Integration**
   - Wire `MetadataBooster` into `QueryOrchestrator`
   - Connect `KvCacheAligner` to production cache
   - End-to-end test with all phases

### Near-term (This week)
2. **Performance Benchmarking**
   - Create homelab vault structure (test data)
   - Benchmark retrieval latency (target < 500ms)
   - Benchmark LLM call reduction (target 70-80%)
   - Benchmark chunk accuracy (target NDCG > 0.85)

3. **Production Integration**
   - Connect to pgvector for semantic search
   - Connect to OpenSearch for lexical search
   - Verify hybrid search accuracy

### Later (Next week+)
4. **Full Integration Testing**
   - End-to-end scenarios: agent query → wiki-scoped search → RBAC filtering → LLM
   - Test failures (auth denied, policy mismatch, etc.)
   - Test graceful degradation (Obsidian unreachable, cache miss, etc.)

## Known Limitations (To Address)

1. **ScoringPipeline**: placeholder for semantic/pgvector (not yet connected)
2. **VaultPolicyProvider**: doesn't reload on file change (hot-reload TBD)
3. **AccessDecisionEngine**: no timeout on checker execution (TBD)
4. **Test fixtures**: MockPolicyProvider uses sync Mutex (should be Arc<RwLock>)
5. **No benchmarks yet**: latency/throughput targets TBD
