## 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. **Production Backend Integration**
   - Connect FullPipeline to pgvector
   - Connect FullPipeline to OpenSearch
   - Real embedding generation

### 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
