+// claude-mem-lite: Opt-in LLM multi-query / HyDE deep search.
+//
+// This is the EXPLICIT "search harder" path — it is NOT on the passive hook
+// pipeline, which stays sub-millisecond single-query (see feedback_passive_first
+// / reference_everos_comparison). One LLM call rewrites the query into a few
+// variants (concrete keyword form, concept expansion, and a HyDE hypothetical),
+// each variant runs the real searchObservationsHybrid, and the N ranked lists
+// are Reciprocal-Rank-Fusion merged. On the vocabulary-mismatch fixture the PoC
+// measured R@10 0.33 -> 0.62 (#8731) where TF-IDF/FTS5 alone fail, because HyDE
+// maps a user's concept words ("container orchestration") onto the tech terms
+// the memory actually uses ("Kubernetes pods").
+//
+// Reliability is by CONSTRUCTION, because the PoC's weak point was rewrite
+// reliability (5/12 Haiku rewrites came back empty, and #8605 proved tightening
+// the prompt does NOT fix Haiku's JSON compliance):
+//   1. The ORIGINAL query is ALWAYS variant[0]. If the rewrite returns nothing
+//      usable, the variant set collapses to [original] and RRF over a single
+//      list preserves that list's order — deepSearch then equals the
+//      single-query baseline EXACTLY. That is the hard floor: a failed rewrite
+//      is never worse than baseline. (With successful rewrites, RRF maximizes
+//      AGGREGATE recall but is not per-query monotonic — it can displace one
+//      query's marginal hit from the top-K; measured net is strongly positive,
+//      benchmark R@10 0.33 -> 0.87 on the all-rewrites-usable ceiling.)
+//   2. rewriteQuery parses defensively (parseJsonFromLLM, inside callModelJSON,
+//      already strips Haiku's ```json fences) and retries ONCE on an empty /
+//      unparseable response before falling back. The lever is structure +
+//      fallback, not prompt verbiage.
+//
+// The LLM and the per-variant search function are dependency-injected so the

 Facts: each MUST be (1) atomic—one claim, (2) self-contained—no pronouns, include file/function name, (3) specific—"refreshToken() in auth.ts:45 uses 1h TTL" not "handles tokens"
 importance: Be strict — default to 1. 0=pure browsing with zero learning value. 1=routine file edits, standard changes, normal workflow (MOST episodes). 2=notable ONLY if it reveals something non-obvious: error fix with discovered root cause, architectural decision with explicit tradeoff, config change with unexpected side effects. 3=critical: breaking change affecting users, security vulnerability fix, data migration. Ask yourself: "would a future session benefit from knowing this?" — if not, it's importance=1.
 lesson_learned: The non-obvious insight a future session would benefit from. Examples: "FTS5 porter stemmer doesn't tokenize CJK — need bigram workaround", "vitest --reporter=verbose hangs on large test suites, use default reporter". Look hard before giving up — most coding episodes contain at least one micro-lesson (an undocumented flag, a surprising default, a debugging shortcut, an unexpected interaction). If literally no insight worth teaching (e.g. version bump, whitespace fix, file rename), output JSON null.
