-
-> Master checklist for the entire build. Update status markers as work completes. See `ARCHITECTURE.md` for design rationale.
-
-**Status legend:** ✅ done · 🚧 in progress · ⬜ pending · ⏸️ deferred · ❌ cancelled
-
----
-
-## Phase 0 — Project Setup ✅
-
-- Repo initialized (`.git`, `.gitignore`, `.gitattributes`)
-- Python 3.14 + `uv` package manager
-- `pyproject.toml` with core deps
-- `.env` for API keys (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `QWEN_API_KEY`)
-- `AGENTS.md` engineering principles
-- `ARCHITECTURE.md` system design
-- `PROJECT_PLAN.md` (this file)
-- `.env.example` template
-
----
-
-## Phase 1 — Document → Markdown (Docling baseline) ✅
-
-**Goal:** Upload a document, get clean markdown back. Docling-only.
-
-- `src/core/file_detector.py` — extension/MIME detection
-- `src/core/converter.py` — Docling wrapper
-- `src/ui/markdown_converter_ui.py` — Gradio upload/preview/download UI
-- `app.py` — entry point
-- Docling model warm-up on startup
-
-**Acceptance:** Upload PDF/DOCX/PPTX, see markdown rendered, download `.md` file.
-
----
-
-## Phase 2 — Parser Router + Qwen3-VL OCR Fallback 🚧
-
-**Goal:** Route per-file-type. Use Docling for digital formats, Qwen3-VL for images and scanned PDFs. Add caching so iteration doesn't burn API credits.
-
-### Cleanup
-
-- Trim `file_detector.py` to common formats only (drop ASCIIDOC, LaTeX, XML, JSON, audio/video, VTT, BMP, TIFF, format variants like `.dotx`/`.docm`/etc.)
-
-### New modules
-
-- `src/utils/pdf_inspector.py`
-  - `is_scanned_pdf(path) -> bool` heuristic (sample first 3 pages, threshold by extracted text length)
-  - `render_pdf_pages(path, dpi=150) -> Iterator[bytes]` (PNG bytes via `pypdfium2`)
-- `src/cache/ocr_cache.py` — SHA256-keyed disk cache for OCR results
-- `src/core/qwen_parser.py`
-  - `QwenParser.extract_image(path) -> str`
-  - `QwenParser.extract_pdf_pages(path) -> str` (per-page caching, concat)
-  - Tenacity retry on rate limits / network errors
-  - Deterministic OCR prompt
-- `src/core/docling_parser.py` — Docling-only parser (extracted from `converter.py`)
-- `src/core/parser_router.py` — dispatches:
-  ```
-  .md / .txt           → passthrough (read file)
-  .png / .jpg / .webp  → Qwen
-  .pdf scanned         → Qwen (per page, cached)
-  .pdf born-digital    → Docling
-  .docx / .pptx / .xlsx / .html / .csv → Docling
-  ```
-
-### Refactor
-
-- `src/core/converter.py` — slim down to public API, delegate to `parser_router`
-- `src/core/__init__.py` — update exports
-
-### UI
-
-- Toggle: "Force Qwen3-VL OCR for PDFs" (override born-digital heuristic)
-- Progress indicator for multi-page scanned PDFs
-- Show parser used (`docling` / `qwen3-vl` / `passthrough`) in status
-
-### Dependencies
-
-- Add `pypdfium2>=4.30` (PDF inspection + rendering)
-- Add `tenacity>=9.0` (retry)
-- Add `pillow>=10` (PIL image handling — also Docling transitive but pin explicit)
-
-**Acceptance:**
-
-1. Upload a born-digital PDF → routes to Docling → markdown returned in seconds.
-2. Upload a scanned PDF → routes to Qwen → markdown with preserved tables.
-3. Upload a `.png` of a table → routes to Qwen → markdown table.
-4. Re-upload same file → returns from cache (< 100ms, no API call).
-5. Upload `.docx` / `.pptx` / `.xlsx` / `.html` → Docling, no Qwen call.
-6. Upload `.md` / `.txt` → passthrough, instant.
-

-
-## Phase 3 — Chunking + Indexing ✅
-
-**Goal:** Header-aware chunking + hybrid (dense + BM25) indexing in Qdrant.
-
-### Modules
-
-- `src/chunking/markdown_chunker.py`
-  - `MarkdownHeaderTextSplitter` primary split (`#`/`##`/`###`, `strip_headers=False`)
-  - `RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter` fallback for oversized sections (>1500 chars)
-  - Inject `header_path`, `doc_id`, `chunk_index`, `total_chunks`, `parser`, `pages` into metadata
-- `src/chunking/metadata.py` — content-hash `doc_id`, deterministic `chunk_uuid` (UUID5), ingestion timestamp
-- `src/indexing/embeddings.py` — dense (`text-embedding-3-small`, cached) + sparse (FastEmbed `Qdrant/bm25`)
-- `src/indexing/qdrant_store.py` — hybrid collection (named vectors + IDF modifier), upsert, doc-level dedup, library listing, delete-by-doc
-- Deduplication is part of `QdrantStore` (skip / replace / count-by-doc) — no separate module needed
-- `src/cache/embedding_cache.py` — wraps OpenAI embeddings with `CacheBackedEmbeddings` + `LocalFileStore`
-- `src/indexing/pipeline.py` — convert → chunk → upsert orchestrator
-
-### Infrastructure
-
-- `docker-compose.yml` with Qdrant (REST 6333 + gRPC 6334)
-- `scripts/init_qdrant.py` — verifies/creates collection, supports `--recreate`
-
-### Dependencies
-
-- Added `qdrant-client>=1.12`
-- Added `fastembed>=0.4.2`
-
-### UI
-
-- Refactored `src/ui` into tab-based composition (`main_ui.py`)
-- New tab: **Ingest** — multi-file upload → convert → chunk → index, with library table, refresh, and delete-by-doc-id
-
-**Acceptance:**
-
-1. Upload doc → indexed with N chunks. ✅
-2. Re-upload same doc → replaces by default (UUID5 deterministic IDs); checkbox flips to skip-if-exists. ✅
-3. Qdrant has both dense + sparse vectors per chunk (named vectors). ✅
-4. Each chunk has `header_path` metadata visible (e.g. `"Refund Policy > Eligibility"`). ✅
-
-**Known limitation:** `py-rust-stemmers` 0.1.5 segfaults on Python 3.14
-([qdrant/py-rust-stemmers#9](https://github.com/qdrant/py-rust-stemmers/pull/9)).
-We pass `disable_stemmer=True` to FastEmbed BM25 as a workaround. Drop the
-flag in `src/indexing/embeddings.py::build_sparse_embeddings` once a fixed
-release is published. Quality impact is small (only stemming-sensitive
-queries like "running"/"runs" are affected).
-
----
-
-## Phase 4 — Hybrid Retrieval + Reranker + Basic Chat ✅
-
-**Goal:** Ask questions, get answers grounded in indexed docs.
-
-### Modules
-
-- `src/config/settings.py` — single source of truth for tunables (top-K, models, temperature, etc.) — overridable via `.env`
-- `src/retrieval/hybrid_search.py` — `HybridRetriever` (Qdrant `similarity_search_with_score` over the named-vector hybrid collection — server-side RRF fusion) + `RetrievalPipeline` (prefetch → rerank → trim) with `RetrievedChunk` + `RetrievalReport` dataclasses
-- `src/retrieval/reranker.py` — FlashRank ONNX cross-encoder wrapper (`ms-marco-MiniLM-L-12-v2` default, ~34 MB), graceful fallback if unavailable
-- Citations live next to retrieval (`RetrievedChunk.citation_label()`) — no dedicated `citations.py` module needed
-- `src/synthesis/response.py` — `GroundedAnswerer` builds a numbered-context prompt, calls `ChatOpenAI`, parses inline `[n]` citations into `Citation` objects
-- `src/ui/chat_ui.py` — Chatbot + textbox + sources panel + per-turn debug strip; lazy init for retrieval/reranker/LLM so the tab opens fast
-
-### Refactor
-
-- Migrated existing modules (`indexing/embeddings.py`, `indexing/qdrant_store.py`, `chunking/markdown_chunker.py`, `core/qwen_parser.py`) to read defaults from `src.config.settings` instead of duplicated env reads / hardcoded constants
-- Reordered tabs (`Chat → Ingest → Convert`) so the primary workflow is front and center
-
-### Dependencies
-
-- Added `flashrank>=0.2.9` (pure-ONNX reranker, no Torch — keeps Python 3.14 install clean)
-- LLM via existing `langchain-openai` (`ChatOpenAI`, model defaults to `gpt-4.1-mini`)
-
-### UI
-
-- New tab: **Chat** — `gr.Chatbot` + submit textbox, sources accordion, per-turn debug line (model · prefetch / rerank timings)
-
-**Acceptance:**
-
-1. Query a document, get an answer with at least one citation. ✅
-2. Citation links back to the source chunk + filename + header path. ✅
-3. Configurable `RERANK_TOP_K` (default 5) and `RETRIEVAL_PREFETCH_K` (default 25) via `.env`. ✅
-4. Reranker reorders the hybrid candidates (verified against the indexed sample corpus). ✅
-
-### Deferred to Phase 6
-
-- First Ragas baseline run (golden set + metrics) — moves with the other eval work in Phase 6 to keep this phase focused on the user-facing pipeline
-
----
-
-## Phase 5 — Adaptive Query Router ✅
-
-**Goal:** Implement actual Adaptive RAG. Pick `no_retrieval | vector_only | sql_only | hybrid | clarify` per query.
-
-### Routing layer
-
-- `src/routing/strategies.py` — `Strategy` `StrEnum` + label / capability sets
-- `src/routing/prompts.py` — router system prompt + few-shot examples + schema injection
-- `src/routing/adaptive_router.py` — `ChatOpenAI(...).with_structured_output(RouterDecision)` classifier; passes chat history; sanitizes (downgrades SQL strategies if backend missing, fills missing clarify question)
-- `src/routing/dispatcher.py` — `AdaptiveDispatcher` orchestrates router → retrieval → SQL → synthesis with per-stage timings, lazy backends, and graceful SQL fallback
-
-### Tools
-
-- `src/tools/sql_tool.py` — schema introspection, NL→SQL via `with_structured_output(_SqlOutput)`, statement-level allowlist (only `SELECT`/`WITH`), forbidden-keyword regex, no-multi-statement guard, server-side `statement_timeout`, transaction-level `READ ONLY`, automatic `LIMIT N` injection
-- `src/tools/registry.py` — **dropped on purpose.** With explicit routing → dispatch we don't need a function-calling registry abstraction; `SqlTool` is just a class. Documented in code comments / decision log.
-
-### Synthesis
-
-- Extended `GroundedAnswerer` with `answer_direct(...)` (no_retrieval) and `answer_with_sql(...)` (sql_only / hybrid). Single citation model: `[1]..[N]` for chunks, `[DB]` for SQL — parsed back out into `AnswerResponse.cited_indices` / `cited_db`.
-
-### Demo data
-
-- `scripts/seed_demo_data.py` — deterministic e-commerce dataset (100 customers, 50 products, 500 orders, ~1300 line items, ~35 refunds). Idempotent (skips if already populated) with `--recreate` flag. Creates a dedicated read-only role `adaptive_rag_ro` with `SELECT`-only grants for the app to use.
-
-### Infrastructure
-
-- Postgres added to `docker-compose.yml` (`postgres:17-alpine`, healthcheck, persistent volume). **Bound to host port `5433`** (not `5432`) to dodge collisions with a host-installed Postgres.
-- `.env.example` documents `SQL_DATABASE_URL`, `SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT_SEC`, `SQL_ROW_LIMIT`, `ROUTER_MODEL`, `ROUTER_TEMPERATURE`, `SQL_MODEL`. All wired through `src.config.settings`.
-
-### Dependencies
-
-- Added `sqlalchemy>=2.0.36`
-- Added `psycopg[binary]>=3.2.3`
-- Added explicit `pydantic>=2.9.0` (already a transitive dep, pinned for clarity)
-
-### UI
-
-- Refactored `src/ui/chat_ui.py` to call `AdaptiveDispatcher`. Sources panel now shows: strategy badge + reasoning, executed SQL with first 5 result rows, and chunk citations. Per-turn debug strip shows per-stage timings.
-
-**Acceptance:**
-
-1. ✅ "What does the indexed story say about the aliens arriving in Jakarta?" → `vector_only` (5 chunks retrieved, 5 cited, narrative answer).
-2. ✅ "How many refunds last 30 days?" → `sql_only` (`SELECT COUNT(*) FROM refunds WHERE created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'` → "3 refunds [DB]").
-3. ✅ "Summarize the indexed story and tell me total refunds in our database" → `hybrid` (chunks + SQL, blended answer).
-4. ✅ "Hi there!" → `no_retrieval`.
-5. ✅ "What about last quarter?" → `clarify` ("Could you specify what information about last quarter you're interested in — sales, refunds, new customers?").
-
-### Deferred to Phase 6
-
-- Routing accuracy metric on a golden set (30-50 examples) — moves with the rest of the eval work.
-- Top-N products SQL with `ORDER BY ... DESC` is correct, but synthesis truncates the list when the chunk slice cuts mid-list. Worth a small system-prompt tweak in Phase 6.
-
-### Known surprises (from smoke test)
-
-- The router will pick `no_retrieval` over `vector_only` for vague conversational openers like "What happens in the story?" without prior turns — it asks "which story?" instead of blindly searching. Defensible behavior; document the workaround (be specific, e.g. "What does the indexed story say about X").
-
----
-
-## Phase 6 — Evaluation, Tracing, Polish ✅
-
-**Goal:** Make this presentable as a portfolio piece.
-
-### Observability (Langfuse)
-
-- `src/observability/langfuse_client.py` — lazy singleton `Langfuse` client, no-op `span()` context manager when keys are missing, `CallbackHandler` factory for LangChain
-- `src/observability/cost_tracker.py` — read-side helper that pulls daily metrics from Langfuse's `/api/public/metrics/daily` endpoint (no separate price table to maintain)
-- `src/routing/dispatcher.py` — wraps every chat turn in a parent `chat.turn` span with child spans `router.classify`, `retrieval.hybrid_search`, `tool.sql_execute`, `synthesis.direct` / `synthesis.grounded`. Auto-flushes after each turn so traces appear immediately even in short-lived Gradio request cycles.
-- `src/routing/adaptive_router.py`, `src/synthesis/response.py`, `src/tools/sql_tool.py` — every `ChatOpenAI.invoke(...)` call now passes `config={"callbacks": get_callback_handler(), "run_name": "...", "metadata": {...}}` so token usage + cost get captured automatically.
-
-### Evaluation
-
-- `src/eval/golden.jsonl` — **minimal smoke set** (≈5 rows, one per strategy) to avoid burning tokens; extend the file anytime you want stronger coverage.
-- `src/eval/run_routing_eval.py` — router-only accuracy + breakdown; **`--threshold` is opt-in** (default: print report only) so tiny goldens don’t spam failures
-- `src/eval/run_deepeval.py` — runs the full dispatcher on retrieval-bearing examples and scores them with DeepEval's `FaithfulnessMetric`, `AnswerRelevancyMetric`, `ContextualRelevancyMetric`. Emits both a JSON dump and a self-contained HTML report under `src/eval/reports/`.
-- `src/eval/__init__.py` + `src/eval/reports/` (gitignored)
-
-### UI
-
-- New tab: **Admin** — Langfuse cost / usage dashboard with selectable window (24h / 7d / 30d), per-model breakdown, per-day breakdown. Friendly empty-state when keys aren't configured.
-
-### Dependencies
-
-- `langfuse>=4.0.0`
-- `deepeval>=3.0.0`
-
-### Configuration
-
-- `LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY`, `LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY`, `LANGFUSE_HOST` added to `.env`, `.env.example`, and `src/config/settings.py`. `Settings.langfuse_enabled` returns `True` only when both keys are set.
-
-**Acceptance:**
-
-1. ✅ Routing eval prints per-strategy accuracy and writes `src/eval/reports/routing.json`. Pass `--threshold 0.85` in CI when you want a hard gate.
-2. ✅ DeepEval eval emits faithfulness / answer relevancy / contextual relevancy in both JSON and HTML.
-3. ✅ Every chat turn produces a Langfuse trace with router / retrieval / SQL / synthesis spans (when keys are set; otherwise the app behaves identically and the spans are no-ops).
-4. ✅ Admin tab renders cost + token totals (and a friendly setup message when Langfuse is disabled).
-

-
-## Phase 7 — Stretch Goals ⏸️
-
-Optional, only if time permits.
-
-- **C-RAG self-reflection** — grade retrieved context, fall back to web search if low relevance
-- **Multi-hop retrieval** — when `clarify` strategy escalates to step-by-step search
-- **MCP server surface** (`src/mcp_server/server.py`) — expose `search_docs` and `query_sql` tools to Cursor / Claude Desktop
-- **Web search fallback** — Tavily / Exa when context insufficient
-- **Streaming responses** — wire LLM streaming through Gradio
-- **Multi-collection** — split per-domain (policies, finance, technical)
-- **OCR of in-line images** — extract images from Docling output, OCR them, inline into markdown
-
----
-
-## Currently Working On
-
-**Phase 7 — Stretch Goals** ⏸️
-
-Phase 6 is complete. Pick whichever stretch goal is most valuable next: streaming responses through Gradio, MCP server surface for Cursor / Claude Desktop, or C-RAG self-reflection with web search fallback.

+**Goal:** Implement actual Adaptive RAG. Pick `no_retrieval | vector_only | sql_only | hybrid | clarify` per query.
+
+### Routing layer
+
+- `src/routing/strategies.py` — `Strategy` `StrEnum` + label / capability sets
+- `src/routing/prompts.py` — router system prompt + few-shot examples + schema injection
+- `src/routing/adaptive_router.py` — `ChatOpenAI(...).with_structured_output(RouterDecision)` classifier; passes chat history; sanitizes (downgrades SQL strategies if backend missing, fills missing clarify question)
+- `src/routing/dispatcher.py` — `AdaptiveDispatcher` orchestrates router → retrieval → SQL → synthesis with per-stage timings, lazy backends, and graceful SQL fallback
+
+### Tools
+
+- `src/tools/sql_tool.py` — schema introspection, NL→SQL via `with_structured_output(_SqlOutput)`, statement-level allowlist (only `SELECT`/`WITH`), forbidden-keyword regex, no-multi-statement guard, server-side `statement_timeout`, transaction-level `READ ONLY`, automatic `LIMIT N` injection
+- `src/tools/registry.py` — **dropped on purpose.** With explicit routing → dispatch we don't need a function-calling registry abstraction; `SqlTool` is just a class. Documented in code comments / decision log.
+
+### Synthesis
+
+- Extended `GroundedAnswerer` with `answer_direct(...)` (no_retrieval) and `answer_with_sql(...)` (sql_only / hybrid). Single citation model: `[1]..[N]` for chunks, `[DB]` for SQL — parsed back out into `AnswerResponse.cited_indices` / `cited_db`.
+
+### Demo data
+
+- `scripts/seed_demo_data.py` — deterministic e-commerce dataset (100 customers, 50 products, 500 orders, ~1300 line items, ~35 refunds). Idempotent (skips if already populated) with `--recreate` flag. Creates a dedicated read-only role `adaptive_rag_ro` with `SELECT`-only grants for the app to use.
+
+### Infrastructure
+
+- Postgres added to `docker-compose.yml` (`postgres:17-alpine`, healthcheck, persistent volume). **Bound to host port `5433`** (not `5432`) to dodge collisions with a host-installed Postgres.
+- `.env.example` documents `SQL_DATABASE_URL`, `SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT_SEC`, `SQL_ROW_LIMIT`, `ROUTER_MODEL`, `ROUTER_TEMPERATURE`, `SQL_MODEL`. All wired through `src.config.settings`.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- Added `sqlalchemy>=2.0.36`
+- Added `psycopg[binary]>=3.2.3`
+- Added explicit `pydantic>=2.9.0` (already a transitive dep, pinned for clarity)
+
+### UI
+
+- Refactored `src/ui/chat_ui.py` to call `AdaptiveDispatcher`. Sources panel now shows: strategy badge + reasoning, executed SQL with first 5 result rows, and chunk citations. Per-turn debug strip shows per-stage timings.
+
+**Acceptance:**
+
+1. ✅ "What does the indexed story say about the aliens arriving in Jakarta?" → `vector_only` (5 chunks retrieved, 5 cited, narrative answer).
+2. ✅ "How many refunds last 30 days?" → `sql_only` (`SELECT COUNT(*) FROM refunds WHERE created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'` → "3 refunds [DB]").
+3. ✅ "Summarize the indexed story and tell me total refunds in our database" → `hybrid` (chunks + SQL, blended answer).
+4. ✅ "Hi there!" → `no_retrieval`.
+5. ✅ "What about last quarter?" → `clarify` ("Could you specify what information about last quarter you're interested in — sales, refunds, new customers?").
+
+### Deferred to Phase 6
+
+- Routing accuracy metric on a golden set (30-50 examples) — moves with the rest of the eval work.
+- Top-N products SQL with `ORDER BY ... DESC` is correct, but synthesis truncates the list when the chunk slice cuts mid-list. Worth a small system-prompt tweak in Phase 6.
+
+### Known surprises (from smoke test)
+
+- The router will pick `no_retrieval` over `vector_only` for vague conversational openers like "What happens in the story?" without prior turns — it asks "which story?" instead of blindly searching. Defensible behavior; document the workaround (be specific, e.g. "What does the indexed story say about X").
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Evaluation, Tracing, Polish ✅
+
+**Goal:** Make this presentable as a portfolio piece.
+
+### Observability (Langfuse)
+
+- `src/observability/langfuse_client.py` — lazy singleton `Langfuse` client, no-op `span()` context manager when keys are missing, `CallbackHandler` factory for LangChain
+- `src/observability/cost_tracker.py` — read-side helper that pulls daily metrics from Langfuse's `/api/public/metrics/daily` endpoint (no separate price table to maintain)
+- `src/routing/dispatcher.py` — wraps every chat turn in a parent `chat.turn` span with child spans `router.classify`, `retrieval.hybrid_search`, `tool.sql_execute`, `synthesis.direct` / `synthesis.grounded`. Auto-flushes after each turn so traces appear immediately even in short-lived Gradio request cycles.
+- `src/routing/adaptive_router.py`, `src/synthesis/response.py`, `src/tools/sql_tool.py` — every `ChatOpenAI.invoke(...)` call now passes `config={"callbacks": get_callback_handler(), "run_name": "...", "metadata": {...}}` so token usage + cost get captured automatically.
+
+### Evaluation
+
+- `src/eval/golden.jsonl` — **minimal smoke set** (≈5 rows, one per strategy) to avoid burning tokens; extend the file anytime you want stronger coverage.
+- `src/eval/run_routing_eval.py` — router-only accuracy + breakdown; **`--threshold` is opt-in** (default: print report only) so tiny goldens don’t spam failures
+- `src/eval/run_deepeval.py` — runs the full dispatcher on retrieval-bearing examples and scores them with DeepEval's `FaithfulnessMetric`, `AnswerRelevancyMetric`, `ContextualRelevancyMetric`. Emits both a JSON dump and a self-contained HTML report under `src/eval/reports/`.
+- `src/eval/__init__.py` + `src/eval/reports/` (gitignored)
+
+### UI
+
+- New tab: **Admin** — Langfuse cost / usage dashboard with selectable window (24h / 7d / 30d), per-model breakdown, per-day breakdown. Friendly empty-state when keys aren't configured.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- `langfuse>=4.0.0`
+- `deepeval>=3.0.0`
+
+### Configuration
+
+- `LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY`, `LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY`, `LANGFUSE_HOST` added to `.env`, `.env.example`, and `src/config/settings.py`. `Settings.langfuse_enabled` returns `True` only when both keys are set.
+
+**Acceptance:**
+
+1. ✅ Routing eval prints per-strategy accuracy and writes `src/eval/reports/routing.json`. Pass `--threshold 0.85` in CI when you want a hard gate.
+2. ✅ DeepEval eval emits faithfulness / answer relevancy / contextual relevancy in both JSON and HTML.
+3. ✅ Every chat turn produces a Langfuse trace with router / retrieval / SQL / synthesis spans (when keys are set; otherwise the app behaves identically and the spans are no-ops).
+4. ✅ Admin tab renders cost + token totals (and a friendly setup message when Langfuse is disabled).
+

+
+## Phase 7 — Stretch Goals ⏸️
+
+Optional, only if time permits.
+
+- **C-RAG self-reflection** — grade retrieved context, fall back to web search if low relevance
+- **Multi-hop retrieval** — when `clarify` strategy escalates to step-by-step search
+- **MCP server surface** (`src/mcp_server/server.py`) — expose `search_docs` and `query_sql` tools to Cursor / Claude Desktop
+- **Web search fallback** — Tavily / Exa when context insufficient
+- **Streaming responses** — wire LLM streaming through Gradio
+- **Multi-collection** — split per-domain (policies, finance, technical)
+- **OCR of in-line images** — extract images from Docling output, OCR them, inline into markdown
+
+---
+
+## Currently Working On
+
+**Phase 7 — Stretch Goals** ⏸️
+
+Phase 6 is complete. Pick whichever stretch goal is most valuable next: streaming responses through Gradio, MCP server surface for Cursor / Claude Desktop, or C-RAG self-reflection with web search fallback.
