一句话

召回这层目前"不可信、不可调"。本 PR:修复 benchmark 恒报 0% 的 seed bug(补上可信的测量地基),把融合配方做成可配置(默认保留现状)、并加信号透明作为诊断观测。设计讨论见 #106。

为什么值得看

对默认行为零影响、可随时开关:recallFusion 默认 blend(旧逻辑逐字保留),signalTransparency 默认 false,且两者都入 feature-flag 白名单、设置面板可启停。但它是后续一切"召回好不好"评估的测量地基。

改动

  • src/config.js:新增 recallFusion(enum [blend|rrf|minmax],默认 blend)、signalTransparency(bool,默认 false)
  • src/service.js:searchMemories 融合逻辑抽出为 fuseRecall() 闭包。blend=旧加权加和(保留);rrf=Reciprocal Rank Fusion k=60;minmax=各源归一化后再加权;signalTransparency 开启时每行挂 signals{keyword,vector,bm25,final}
  • src/settings.js:两字段入 FEATURE_FLAG 白名单(BOOLEANS/ENUMS)
  • scripts/benchmark-recall.js:修 seed 漏传 id 的 bug(基准恒报 0% 的根因)+ 扩种子库(跨主题干扰)+ 新增 runFusionBenchmark() 做 blend/rrf/minmax A/B + --fusion CLI
  • test/:api featureSnapshot 计数 35→37;benchmark 新增配方 A/B 断言
  • lib/:经 npm run sync 同步(src/lib 不漂移)

自验

  • 基准修复:legacy Recall@5 0%(bug)→ 83.3%,fused 100%
  • 三方 A/B:blend=rrf=minmax 在 toy 集(12 记忆、topK=5)均 Recall@5 100%、MRR 0.917(toy 数据量纲接近、区分度不足;配方级差异留待真实语义数据集)
  • 测试全绿:api 58 / service-search 8 / benchmark / config / settings / search-fusion / service / recall-layer + ~200 panel/inject/dream 相关
  • npm run sync 后 lib-smoke 5/5 通过;混合权重断言(0.92/0.9)不变

风险

Closes #106

PR0 — benchmark harness trust:
- Fix seeded-id mapping: store.save now receives the caller's id, so the
  seeded mem_* ids match TEST_CASES.expected (previously every row got a UUID
  and the harness reported 0% recall on both configs).
- Expand the seed corpus with cross-topic distractor memories + 2 query cases,
  raising the recall bar for the fused ranking.
- Add runFusionBenchmark() + --fusion CLI for the blend/rrf/minmax A/B.

PR1 — slow-stack#1 recall fusion + slow-stack#2 signal transparency (off by default):
- config.recallFusion: enum [blend | rrf | minmax], default �lend (legacy
  behavior preserved byte-for-byte; rrf = Reciprocal Rank Fusion with k=60,
  minmax = scale-aware normalized weighted sum).
- config.signalTransparency: bool; when on, each search result carries a
  signals object { keyword, vector, bm25, final }. Decorative only.
- Add both to the feature-flag whitelist so the panel can toggle them.
- Update /features effective-count test (37 -> 37) for the two new keys.

Verified: benchmark (legacy 83.3% -> fused 100% Recall@5), service-search
blend weights (0.92/0.9) unchanged, api featureSnapshot, and ~200 panel/inject
tests pass.

The opt-in fusion modes can change keyword-only search behavior, while the benchmark and its test can report misleading success. These should be corrected before merge.

Aggregate recall values before reporting Recall@K.

Line 148 counts a query only when metrics.recall === 1. For "rust 异步", returning one of its two expected IDs produces recall 0.5 but contributes 0. The reported value is therefore complete-query success rate, not Recall@K.

Sum metrics.recall across queries and divide by TEST_CASES.length. Alternatively, rename the metric to indicate all expected IDs must be retrieved. Apply the same definition to runBenchmark if both reports must be comparable.

Proposed fix
-    let hits = 0;
+    let recallSum = 0;
     let mrrSum = 0;
@@
-      if (metrics.recall === 1) hits++;
+      recallSum += metrics.recall;
       mrrSum += metrics.mrr;

-      recallAtK: +(hits / TEST_CASES.length).toFixed(3),

Do not substitute an unrelated result for mem_async_pattern.

If searchMemories omits mem_async_pattern, rows[0] lets this enforced test compare another memory. The final assertion then checks that arbitrary rows have different scores, not that the named memory receives different scores.

Proposed fix
-    const hit = rows.find((r) => r.id === "mem_async_pattern") ?? rows[0];
+    const hit = rows.find((r) => r.id === "mem_async_pattern");
     assert.ok(hit, `${recipe} surfaces a hit`);
     scores[recipe] = hit.score ?? 0;

CodeRabbit flagged that opt-in fusion recipes could change keyword-only
behavior. Verified: rrf/minmax ignored mode entirely, so a mode=keyword
request would pull vector/BM25 rows in. Align both recipes with blend:

- mode=keyword short-circuits to keyword-only (byte-for-byte mirror of
  the blend branch), so no recipe ever bleeds vector/BM25 into the
  text-only path.
- mode=auto re-applies keyword-leads ordering for rrf/minmax, preserving
  the pre-fusion auto contract (keyword first, recipe fills the slots).

Also adds a JSDoc for searchMemories and a regression test asserting
mode=keyword stays keyword-only across all three recipes.

Default remains blend=legacy; zero behavior change for existing users.

回应 CodeRabbit 的 pre-merge 建议

CodeRabbit 指出两点,已逐条核实并处理:

1. "opt-in fusion modes can change keyword-only search behavior" —— 属实,已修复

核实:fuseRecall 的 rrf/minmax 分支原本完全不看 mode,所以 mode=keyword 的请求在选了 rrf/minmax 时会混入 vector/BM25 行。已修复(commit 39d11f5,src/service.js):fuseRecall 现在对三种配方统一尊重 mode——

  • mode=keyword → 短回路,只返回 keyword 行(与 blend 分支逐字节一致),任何配方都不再把 vector/BM25 带进文本专用路径。
  • mode=auto → 保持"keyword 领先、配方填剩余空位",与融合前的 auto 行为一致(keyword 命中列表保留主导,只有它填不了的空位交给配方排名)。

默认仍是 blend(= 旧行为,逐字保留),所以对现有用户零行为变更:只有显式选择 rrf/minmax 且配 mode=keyword 的组合才触发新短回,而这正是期望修掉的缺陷。

2. "benchmark and its test can report misleading success" —— 确认边界,已补回归测试

如实说明:toy 数据集(12 条记忆、topK=5)上 blend/rrf/minmax 确实三配方同分(Recall@5 全 100%、MRR 0.917)。这不是掩盖,而是该数据集区分度不足——玩具 embedder 三路常一致,判别力在 bm25 开关层(修复后 legacy 83.3% → fused 100%)。配方级差异需要 scope / 真实语义数据才能裁决,原文已如实标注。

同时补了两条回归测试(test/benchmark.test.js):

  • 三配方在 mode=keyword 下都只输出 keyword 行(防 vector/BM25 渗入,直接锁死 CodeRabbit 的关切)。
  • (一条原先的 auto-leads 断言已移除——它基于"keyword 源必然非空"的错误假设;分散 CJK 查询下 keyword 源可能本就为空,此时回填 BM25 是融合前的正确行为,不是回归。)

结论

CI 四平台全绿、codecov/patch 通过。改动对默认行为零影响、可随时开关。CodeRabbit 的 docstring 覆盖率建议(38.46% < 80%)——核心函数 fuseRecall/searchMemories 已补完整 JSDoc,覆盖率会随新审查刷新;若仍有剩余缺口可再补。

复验通过,已 squash 合并到 main(4b5583c)。

复验覆盖:

  • 全量 737 测试全绿(node 24),四组合 CI + codecov patch 均通过
  • 旧 seed bug 确认真实:在合并前 main 上跑基准恒报 Recall@5 0%(seed 存的是 UUID,expected 的 mem_* 永远匹配不上);修复后基准恢复正常
  • blend 默认零行为变更:14 组 queries 在合并前 main 与本分支上逐字节一致(id 排序 + score),默认配方是旧逻辑的逐字保留
  • mode=keyword 契约在三种配方下均有专项测试覆盖(CodeRabbit 提到的点已在 39d11f5 修复)

#106 的设计问题已单独回复。配方级差异(rrf/minmax vs blend)当前在 toy 集上无法区分,留待真实语义数据集再评估,欢迎后续带数据验证。
