+Raw evidence retrieval supports `ente query "question" --mode hybrid --json` and
+`--mode semantic`. Omitted/lexical mode keeps deterministic retrieval without
+provider calls. Hybrid preserves typed structured evidence; semantic is indexed
+own Personal activity passages only. Both return evidence without an answer.
+Inspect execution, coverage, fallback and truncation metadata; vector ranks are
+not answer confidence. Semantic availability requires the separate default-off
+Personal retrieval pilot, not an Ask synthesis slot. See `ente guide activity` and
+the shipped skill for scope and citation details.
+
+Explicit vector modes report the selected provider, model, region, embedding identity and generation in `retrieval.vector`. Optional OpenAI embeddings use `text-embedding-3-small` at 512 dimensions. A provider/model/region change requires renewed account consent and a new empty generation; it does not select history or future activities. No automatic provider fallback runs. Omitted/lexical query remains zero-egress.
+
+Hybrid ordering uses RRF plus semantic branch coverage. Returned rank is authoritative; scores are not calibrated confidence or a pure sort contract.

+### Raw retrieval modes
+
+`ente query "question" --json` keeps deterministic entity, activity title/body,
+task and relationship retrieval without provider calls. `--mode lexical` is the
+same default. Keep `ente search` for fuzzy entity lookup and `ente activity search`
+for ordinary title/body keyword search.
+
+Use `ente query "question" --mode hybrid --space Personal --json` only when semantic
+retrieval is wanted and consented. Hybrid retains typed deterministic structured
+results and combines lexical/vector activity passages. `--mode semantic` returns
+vector activity passages only, for inspection/comparison. Initial vectors cover
+only the caller's own Personal notes, conversations, meetings and calls. Related
+entity IDs/names are authorized context, not semantic entity matches.
+
+Neither mode generates an answer or needs an Ask synthesis slot. Read
+`retrieval.requestedMode`, `usedMode`, `status`, `vector`, `coverage`, `counts` and
+`truncation`. Hybrid may explicitly fall back to lexical. Unavailable semantic
+returns no evidence and exits1. Counts describe bounded candidates, not complete
+account totals; original lexical truncation flags still apply. Vector ranks are
+not answer confidence. Use source hashes, passage offsets and sourceUrl to check
+an activity revision before citing it. Indexing remains default off; future
+activity opt-in and reviewed historical selection are independent. Own-model
+accounts do not send data to the hosted embedding pilot.
