 /**
- * Cross-Encoder Reranker for ThumbGate lesson retrieval.
+ * Evidence-grade reranking cascade for ThumbGate lesson retrieval.
  *
- * Two-stage retrieval:
- *   Stage 1: Fast candidate retrieval (existing bigram Jaccard + keyword matching)
- *   Stage 2: Cross-encoder reranking scores query-document pairs jointly
+ * The stages are deliberately named for what they actually do:
+ *   1. first-stage hybrid retrieval (lexical/dense/RRF/BM25F elsewhere)
+ *   2. local pairwise heuristic (always available; not a neural cross-encoder)
+ *   3. optional ColBERT-style late interaction over caller-supplied token vectors
+ *   4. optional neural cross-encoder over caller-supplied query/document scorer
+ *   5. optional LLM listwise reranker with strict, ID-bound output validation
  *
- * The cross-encoder evaluates the query AND each lesson together (not independently),
- * catching false positives that keyword/vector search misses.
- *
- * Architecture reference: "Advanced RAG Retrieval: Cross-Encoders & Reranking"
- * (Towards Data Science, April 2026)
- *
- * When LLM is available (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY), uses Claude as the cross-encoder.
- * Falls back to enhanced heuristic scoring when LLM is unavailable.
+ * Expensive stages are opt-in and bounded to a small candidate pool. Every result
+ * carries provenance so a heuristic fallback cannot masquerade as a model score.
