 Text search runs one MiniSearch BM25+ pass over title and body. Query terms are OR-matched, with native score order and a deterministic tie-break by creation time and ID. This is keyword matching, not a claim of semantic relevance: results are candidates for the agent to inspect. Matching works across languages by matching literal words, not by meaning. When a query has no tokenizable terms (for example, `!!!`), search falls back to case-insensitive exact-substring matching over title and body. The retained index is reused while the ordered candidate-entry ID list is unchanged, avoiding repeated index construction. Embedding sidecars are still written in the versioned `{ v: 2, model, dimension, vector }` format for compatibility, but search does not read them.
 
+### Optional LLM reranking
+
+Optional LLM reranking fuses the BM25 order with a listwise ranking of the BM25 top-50 candidates using reciprocal rank fusion (RRF, k=10). In a 30-task pilot, Hit@5 increased from 0.500 to 0.700, Hit@10 from 0.667 to 0.767, and MRR@10 from 0.321 to 0.528. A shuffled-candidate control also achieved Hit@5 of 0.700, and the direction of improvement survived pessimistic relevance judgments. The result was not statistically significant (p=0.070, n=30); this is preliminary evidence, not a guaranteed improvement. The pilot used one cloud call per query, costing approximately US$0.001 and taking about 2–3 seconds. Results, cost, and latency depend on the model, provider, and journal; these pilot measurements are not a benchmark of every supported configuration or a production service guarantee. This pilot was not an independent evaluation and does not establish a generalizable quality improvement.
+
+Reranking is off by default. Without explicit enablement, journal search remains local and credential-free, with no reranking network requests. When enabled, each eligible search sends your query and the titles and excerpts of up to 50 filtered journal candidates to the HTTPS endpoint you configure. Titles are limited to 200 Unicode code points and excerpts to 600; sensitive information appearing in those fields is not automatically redacted. The plugin does not send journal paths, entry IDs, metadata, session history, or unrelated entries, and does not silently reuse OpenCode credentials. Your configured endpoint receives the dedicated API credential and processes journal content under its own policies. Reranking makes at most one request per search; failures return BM25 without retry. Requests may remain billable after timeout or cancellation.
+
+Configure reranking in `~/.config/opencode/agent-memory-rerank.json`, alongside `agent-memory.json`:
+
+```json
+{ "enabled": true, "baseURL": "https://your-provider.example/v1", "model": "your-model-id" }
+```
+
+Set `AGENT_MEMORY_RERANK_API_KEY` in the environment of the process that runs OpenCode. The credential does not belong in the config file: do not use `OPENAI_API_KEY` or OpenCode credentials.
+
+Constraints and pagination:
+
+- HTTPS only; plaintext `http` is rejected, including for localhost.
+- One request per search, with a 5-second deadline, request and response limits of 65,536 bytes each, 256 completion tokens, and no retries.
+- Only the first 50 candidates can move; `total` is unchanged. A page is reranked only when it fits entirely inside that top-50 window; other pages keep plain BM25 order.
+- Searches without non-whitespace `text` are never reranked.
+- Enabled ordering is **not reproducible** across calls, so offset pagination is a slice of each call's ranking, not a stable snapshot.
+
+On failure, the result falls back to the ordinary BM25 page without retry, preserving its candidate count (`total`). The diagnostic is returned in the tool result's `metadata.ranking` field (not as a top-level field): an invalid reranking configuration reports `status: "fallback"` and `reason: "invalid_config"`; disabled or missing reranking configuration remains silent and adds no `metadata`. Other failure reason codes are `missing_credential`, `timeout`, `transport_error`, `http_error`, `malformed_body`, `malformed_labels`, `budget_exceeded` (request/response size or completion-token limit), and `aborted` (the search was cancelled). Searches skipped without a reranking request report `no_query`, `insufficient_candidates`, or `outside_window` in `metadata.ranking`.

 ### Suggested tags
 
 Tags are free-form strings - the agent can use any tag, not just the suggested ones. You can suggest tags to guide its classification:

 ## Compatibility & Troubleshooting
 
 - **Requires OpenCode v2.** This release uses the OpenCode v2 plugin API and does not run on v1.
-- **Restart after config changes.** Plugin config changes require a full OpenCode restart to take effect; editing the config file alone is not sufficient.
+- **Config changes.** `agent-memory.json` (journal configuration) is loaded when the plugin initializes, so changes require restarting OpenCode. `agent-memory-rerank.json` is read for each search, so reranking config changes take effect on the next search without a restart.
 - **Journal is on by default.** Turn it off with `"enabled": false`; an explicit disable is silent, while a config that exists but is unreadable, malformed, or schema-invalid logs a warning and registers no tools (fail-closed).
 - **Embedding sidecars remain compatible.** They are written locally for the existing format contract, diagnostics, and future consumers; text search is lexical and does not read embeddings.
 - **Known limitation (since 0.5.1): guidance-in-descriptions depends on an unverified premise.** 0.5.1 moved journal guidance from the injected system-prompt note into the three journal tool descriptions, so only agents allowed to call those tools should see it. That relies on opencode omitting a permission-denied tool from the definitions sent to the model. This is **unverified**: a `tool.definition` probe on the isolated instance fires before permission filtering, so it cannot confirm what the model actually receives. If the premise does not hold, an agent denied `journal_*` may still read the description text; `deny` still blocks execution, so there is no capability escalation and no data disclosure — the blast radius is the three tools' description strings.
