fix: address bot review feedback (AND-vs-OR comment, test coverage)

ckybit · ckybit · commit 1745ffe86b45 · 2026-03-30T21:34:34.000+08:00
- Document intentional AND-join semantics in hybrid mode vs OR in
  FTS-only mode (vector search covers broad recall).
- Split misleading "falls back" test into two: one for AND-join of
  multiple keywords, one for genuine fallback on all-stop-word input.
