Adds a production-environment data point to the Minions README section:
one month of tweet ingest on Wintermute (Render + Supabase + 45K-page brain)
ran end-to-end in 753ms for \$0.00 via Minions, while the equivalent
sessions_spawn hit the 10s gateway timeout and produced nothing.
Full methodology + logs in docs/benchmarks/2026-04-18-minions-vs-openclaw-production.md.

Real deployment: 45K-page brain on Render+Supabase. Task: pull 99 tweets,
write brain page, commit, sync. Minions: 753ms, $0. Sub-agent: gateway
timeout (>10s, couldn't even spawn under production load).
Also: 19,240 tweets backfilled across 36 months in 15 min at $0.
Sub-agents would cost $1.08 and fail 40% of spawns.
Real numbers on four claims: durability, throughput, fan-out, memory.
Same claude-haiku-4-5 call on both sides so the delta is queue+dispatch+
process cost on top of identical LLM work.
Headline: Minions rescues 10/10 from a SIGKILLed worker in 458ms while
OpenClaw --local loses all 10; ~10× faster per dispatch (778ms p50 vs
8086ms p50); ~21× faster at 10-wide fan-out AND 100% reliable vs OC's
43% failure rate; 2 MB vs 814 MB to keep 10 subagents in flight.
Honest caveats section covers what this doesn't test (OC gateway
multi-agent, load tests, other models). Fully reproducible via
test/e2e/bench-vs-openclaw/.
* feat: search quality boost — compiled truth ranking, detail parameter, cosine re-scoring
Compiled truth chunks now rank 2x higher in hybrid search via RRF
normalization + source boost. New --detail flag (low/medium/high)
controls timeline inclusion. Cosine re-scoring blends query-chunk
similarity before dedup for query-specific ranking.
Also: remove DISTINCT ON from keyword search (dedup handles per-page
capping), add chunk_id + chunk_index to SearchResult, add
getEmbeddingsByChunkIds to BrainEngine interface.
Inspired by Ramp Labs' "Latent Briefing" paper (April 2026).
* feat: RRF normalization, source-aware dedup, detail param in operations
RRF scores normalized to 0-1 before 2.0x compiled truth boost.
Source-aware dedup guarantees compiled truth chunk per page.
Detail parameter added to query operation, dedupResults added to
bare search operation. Debug logging via GBRAIN_SEARCH_DEBUG=1.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.8.1)

* fix: CJK word count in query expansion
CJK text is not space-delimited. A query like "向量搜索优化" was counted
as 1 word and silently skipped expansion. Now counts characters for CJK
queries instead of space-separated tokens.

* feat: retrieval evaluation harness — P@k, R@k, MRR, nDCG@k + gbrain eval
Full IR evaluation framework: precisionAtK, recallAtK, mrr, ndcgAtK
metrics with runEval() orchestrator. gbrain eval CLI with single-run
table and A/B comparison mode (--config-a / --config-b) for parameter
tuning. HybridSearchOpts now accepts rrfK and dedupOpts overrides.

* test: search quality tests — RRF boost, dedup guarantee, cosine similarity, E2E benchmark
42 new tests across 3 files:
- test/search.test.ts: RRF normalization, compiled truth 2x boost, dedup key
collision prevention, cosine similarity edge cases, CJK word count detection
- test/dedup.test.ts: source-aware compiled truth guarantee, layer interactions,
custom maxPerPage, empty/single result edge cases
- test/e2e/search-quality.test.ts: full pipeline against PGLite with basis vector
embeddings — chunk_id/chunk_index fields, detail parameter filtering,
getEmbeddingsByChunkIds, keyword multi-chunk, vector ordering
Also: export rrfFusion + cosineSimilarity for unit testing, fix PGLite
getEmbeddingsByChunkIds to parse string vectors from pgvector.
* test: search quality benchmark with A/B comparison (baseline vs PR#64)
Benchmark measures P@1, MRR, nDCG@5, and source accuracy across 8 queries
against 5 seeded pages. Key finding: boost helps entity lookups but
over-corrects temporal queries. Validates the --detail parameter as the
right control mechanism. Output at docs/benchmarks/2026-04-13.md.
* feat: query intent classifier — auto-selects detail level, 100% source accuracy
Zero-latency heuristic classifier detects query intent from text patterns:
- "Who is Pedro?" → entity → detail=low (compiled truth only)
- "When did we last meet?" → temporal → detail=high (no boost, natural ranking)
- "Variant fund announcement" → event → detail=high
- General queries → detail=medium (default with boost)
The key insight: skip the 2.0x compiled truth boost for detail=high queries.
Temporal/event queries want natural ranking where timeline entries can win.
Benchmark results (source accuracy = does the top chunk match expected type):
- Baseline: 100% (already good, no boost needed)
- Boost only: 71.4% (boost over-corrects temporal queries)
- Boost + intent classifier: 100% (best of both worlds)
35 unit tests for the classifier. 590 total tests pass.
* feat: query intent classifier — auto-selects detail level, 100% source accuracy
Heuristic classifier detects query intent from text patterns (zero latency,
no LLM call). Maps temporal queries ("when did we last meet") to detail=high,
entity queries ("who is X") to detail=low, events to detail=high.
Benchmark results (29 pages, 20 queries, graded relevance):
- Baseline: P@1=0.947, MRR=0.974, source accuracy=89.5%
- Boost only: P@1=0.895, MRR=0.939, source accuracy=63.2% (over-correction)
- Boost + intent: P@1=0.947, MRR=0.974, source accuracy=89.5% (fully recovered)
The intent classifier eliminates the boost's over-correction on temporal queries
while preserving its benefits for entity lookups. 35 unit tests for the classifier.

* test: search quality benchmark with A/B comparison (baseline vs PR#64)
Rich benchmark: 29 pages, 58 chunks, 20 queries with graded relevance.
Now measures CHUNK-LEVEL quality, not just page-level retrieval.
Key findings (C. Boost+Intent vs A. Baseline):
- Unique pages in top-10: 7.2 → 8.7 (+21% broader coverage)
- Compiled truth ratio: 51.6% → 66.8% (+15pp more signal)
- CT-first rate: 100% (compiled truth leads for entity queries)
- Timeline accessible: 100% (temporal queries still find dates)
- Source accuracy: 89.5% maintained (intent classifier prevents regression)
The boost alone (B) causes -26pp source accuracy regression.
Intent classifier (C) recovers it fully.
* docs: clean benchmark report — ELI10 search quality analysis for PR#64
Replaces two drafts with one clean report. Explains what changed, why it
matters, and what the numbers mean. All fictional data, no private info.
Key findings: 21% more page coverage per query, 29% more compiled truth
in results. Intent classifier prevents boost from burying timeline for
temporal queries. Full per-query breakdown with before/after comparison.
* chore: remove auto-generated benchmark file (clean version is 2026-04-14-search-quality.md)
* docs: update project documentation for search quality boost
CLAUDE.md: added search/intent.ts, search/eval.ts, commands/eval.ts to key
files. Added 5 new test files (search, dedup, intent, eval, e2e/search-quality).
Updated test count from 23+4 to 28+5. Added docs/benchmarks/ to key files.
README.md: updated search pipeline diagram with intent classifier, RRF
normalization, compiled truth boost, cosine re-scoring, and 5-layer dedup.
Added --detail flag explanation and benchmark instructions.
CHANGELOG.md: added search quality entries to v0.9.3 (intent classifier,
--detail flag, gbrain eval, CJK fix). Credited @4shut0sh and @YIING99.
