 ## Decisions & Risks
 - Decision: runtime DI must resolve API tokens to HTTP clients; mock classes are test/dev assets only.
 - Decision: no new backend contracts are assumed in this sprint; if a required endpoint is missing, task becomes `BLOCKED` with explicit contract gap.

+# Sprint 20260223_097 - Unified Smart Search: Index Foundation and Query Understanding
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Extend the existing AdvisoryAI knowledge search index (`advisoryai.kb_chunk`) into a universal search index that can hold entities from ALL platform domains (findings, VEX, graph, OpsMemory, timeline, policy, scans) alongside the existing docs/api/doctor content.
+- Build a query understanding layer (entity extraction, intent classification, domain weighting) that produces a structured `QueryPlan` from raw user input in < 5ms, with no LLM dependency.
+- Implement the first wave of ingestion adapters (findings, VEX, policy rules) as proof of the universal chunk model.
+- Deliver a new unified search endpoint (`POST /v1/search/query`) that returns entity-grouped results with facets, replacing the per-domain search paradigm.
+- Introduce deterministic synthesis templates that produce structured summaries from entity card metadata without LLM, guaranteeing useful answers in air-gap environments.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Expected evidence: schema migration, adapter implementations, endpoint contract, deterministic synthesis output, backward-compatibility tests, updated docs.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream baseline: `docs/implplan/SPRINT_20260222_051_AdvisoryAI_knowledge_search_docs_api_doctor.md` (knowledge search MVP).
+- Upstream baseline: `docs/implplan/SPRINT_20260222_061_AdvisoryAI_aks_hardening_e2e_operationalization.md` (AKS hardening -- can proceed in parallel; this sprint does not depend on hardening completion but must not conflict with its schema changes).
+- Required dependency references:
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/**` (core search service, indexer, store, models)
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService/**` (endpoints)
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Storage/Migrations/**` (schema)
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/**` (existing search infra)
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Vectorization/**` (DeterministicHashVectorEncoder)
+- Explicit cross-module reads (no writes in Phase 1 except AdvisoryAI):
+  - `src/Scanner/**` (finding models for adapter projection)
+  - `src/VexHub/**` (VEX statement models for adapter projection)
+  - `src/Policy/**` (policy rule models for adapter projection)
+  - `docs/modules/advisory-ai/**` (architecture docs)
+- Safe parallelism notes:
+  - USRCH-FND-001 (schema) must complete before any adapter or endpoint work.
+  - USRCH-FND-002 (universal chunk model) and USRCH-FND-003 (query understanding) can proceed in parallel once schema is done.
+  - Ingestion adapters (004, 005, 006) can proceed in parallel once the universal chunk model is defined.
+  - USRCH-FND-007 (incremental indexing) can proceed as soon as schema and model are done.
+  - USRCH-FND-008 (W-RRF), 009 (endpoint), 010 (synthesis templates), 011 (entity alias) depend on the search model but can proceed in parallel with each other.
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `docs/modules/advisory-ai/knowledge-search.md`
+- `docs/modules/advisory-ai/architecture.md`
+- `docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md`
+- `src/AdvisoryAI/AGENTS.md`
+- `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Storage/Migrations/002_knowledge_search.sql` (existing schema)
+- `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/KnowledgeSearchModels.cs` (existing models)
+- `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/KnowledgeSearchService.cs` (existing RRF fusion)

+## Delivery Tracker
+
+### USRCH-FND-001 - Schema Extension: Entity Columns and Alias Table
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Create migration `003_unified_search.sql` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Storage/Migrations/` that extends the existing `advisoryai.kb_chunk` table with four new columns:
+  - `entity_key TEXT` -- canonical entity identifier (e.g., `cve:CVE-2025-1234`, `purl:pkg:npm/lodash@4.17.21`, `image:registry.io/app:v1.2`). Nullable for legacy chunks that don't map to a discrete entity.
+  - `entity_type TEXT` -- entity taxonomy type (e.g., `cve`, `package`, `image`, `decision`, `event`, `policy`, `scan`). Nullable for legacy chunks.
+  - `domain TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'knowledge'` -- source domain identifier. Existing chunks get `'knowledge'`; new domains: `'findings'`, `'vex'`, `'graph'`, `'opsmemory'`, `'timeline'`, `'policy'`, `'scanner'`.
+  - `freshness TIMESTAMPTZ` -- timestamp of when the source entity was last modified (distinct from `indexed_at` which tracks indexing time). Used for freshness-based ranking boost.
+- Create new table `advisoryai.entity_alias` for entity ID resolution:
+  - `alias TEXT NOT NULL` -- alternate identifier (e.g., `GHSA-xxxx-yyyy`, vendor-specific CVE alias)
+  - `entity_key TEXT NOT NULL` -- canonical entity key it resolves to
+  - `source TEXT NOT NULL` -- which system created the alias (e.g., `vex`, `nvd`, `ghsa`)
+  - `PRIMARY KEY (alias, entity_key)`
+- Add indexes:
+  - `idx_kb_chunk_entity_key` on `(entity_key) WHERE entity_key IS NOT NULL`
+  - `idx_kb_chunk_domain` on `(domain)`
+  - `idx_kb_chunk_freshness` on `(freshness DESC)`
+  - `idx_entity_alias_key` on `(entity_key)`
+- Ensure migration is idempotent (`IF NOT EXISTS` / `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` guards).
+- Verify backward compatibility: existing knowledge search queries must continue to work unchanged since new columns are nullable or have defaults.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Migration `003_unified_search.sql` exists and applies cleanly on fresh DB and on DB with existing `002_knowledge_search.sql` schema.
+- [ ] Existing `kb_chunk` rows are preserved with `domain='knowledge'` and null `entity_key`/`entity_type`/`freshness`.
+- [ ] All existing knowledge search queries (FTS and vector) pass unchanged against migrated schema.
+- [ ] `entity_alias` table accepts inserts and supports efficient lookup by both `alias` and `entity_key`.
+- [ ] Index creation is conditional on pgvector/extension availability where applicable.
+
+### USRCH-FND-002 - Universal Chunk Model and Ingestion Adapter Interface
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Define the `UniversalChunk` record type in a new file `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/UniversalChunkModels.cs`. This record represents any searchable entity projected into the universal index:
+  ```csharp
+  record UniversalChunk(
+      string ChunkId,          // globally unique, format: "{domain}:{sourceId}:{hash}"
+      string Kind,             // chunk kind: existing (md_section, api_operation, doctor_check) + new (finding, vex_statement, graph_node, ops_decision, audit_event, policy_rule, scan_result)
+      string Domain,           // source domain
+      string Title,            // display title for search results
+      string Body,             // full text for FTS and vector encoding
+      string? EntityKey,       // canonical entity identifier
+      string? EntityType,      // entity taxonomy type
+      UniversalOpenAction OpenAction,  // navigation target
+      JsonDocument Metadata,   // domain-specific structured data
+      DateTimeOffset Freshness // source modification timestamp
+  );
+  ```
+- Define `UniversalOpenAction` as a discriminated union extending the existing `KnowledgeOpenAction` with new kinds:
+  - Existing: `Docs`, `Api`, `Doctor`
+  - New: `Finding` (route, findingId, severity), `Vex` (route, statementId, cveId), `Graph` (route, nodeId, kind), `Decision` (route, decisionId), `Event` (route, eventId), `Policy` (route, ruleId), `Scan` (route, scanId)
+- Define `ISearchIngestionAdapter` interface:
+  ```csharp
+  interface ISearchIngestionAdapter
+  {
+      string Domain { get; }
+      string[] ChunkKinds { get; }
+      Task<IReadOnlyList<UniversalChunk>> ProjectAsync(IngestionContext context, CancellationToken ct);
+      Task<IReadOnlyList<UniversalChunk>> ProjectIncrementalAsync(IReadOnlyList<EntityChangeEvent> events, CancellationToken ct);
+  }
+  ```
+- Define `IngestionContext` (for full rebuild) and `EntityChangeEvent` (for incremental upsert) models.
+- Define `EntityAlias` record and `IEntityAliasStore` interface for alias CRUD.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `UniversalChunk` record compiles and is compatible with existing `KnowledgeChunkDocument` (shared fields align).
+- [ ] `UniversalOpenAction` extends existing `KnowledgeOpenAction` without breaking backward compatibility.
+- [ ] `ISearchIngestionAdapter` interface supports both full-rebuild and incremental ingestion paths.
+- [ ] All new types are in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/` namespace.
+- [ ] Unit tests verify model serialization/deserialization roundtrip for each new chunk kind.
+
+### USRCH-FND-003 - Query Understanding Layer: Entity Extraction and Intent Classification
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `QueryParser` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/QueryUnderstanding/QueryParser.cs`:
+  - Normalize query: trim, collapse whitespace, clamp to max length (512 chars).
+  - Extract structured entity mentions using regex patterns (no LLM):
+    - CVE: `CVE-\d{4}-\d{4,}` and `GHSA-[\w-]+`
+    - PURL: `pkg:[\w]+/[\w@./%-]+`
+    - Image reference: `[\w.-]+\.[\w.-]+/[\w./-]+:[\w.-]+` (registry/repo:tag)
+    - Check code: `[A-Z]{2,4}-\d{3,}`
+    - Finding ID: `finding-[\w-]+`
+    - Scan ID: `scan-[\w-]+`
+  - Each extraction produces `EntityMention { Type, Value, Span, Confidence }`.
+- Implement `IntentClassifier` in `QueryUnderstanding/IntentClassifier.cs`:
+  - Classify query intent as `Navigational` (go to X), `Informational` (what is X / how does X work), or `Action` (do X / fix X / waive X).
+  - Use keyword matching similar to existing `AdvisoryChatIntentRouter` but for search context rather than chat.
+  - Produce weighted keyword signals for domain boosting.
+- Implement `DomainWeightCalculator` in `QueryUnderstanding/DomainWeightCalculator.cs`:
+  - Compute per-domain weights (float multipliers, base 1.0) from three additive signals:
+    - **Entity boost**: Detected CVE/GHSA → findings +0.35, vex +0.30, graph +0.25; detected PURL → graph +0.35, findings +0.25; detected check code → doctor +0.40.
+    - **Intent keyword boost**: "reachable/reachability" → graph +0.20, findings +0.15; "waive/waiver" → opsmemory +0.25, policy +0.20; "how to/guide/runbook" → docs +0.25; "deploy/promote/release" → scanner +0.15, policy +0.15; "audit/who/when" → timeline +0.30.
+    - **Ambient context boost**: current route domain match → +0.10; visible entity match → +0.20.
+  - All boost values are configurable via `UnifiedSearchOptions`.
+- Assemble into `QueryPlan` output model:
+  ```csharp
+  record QueryPlan(
+      string NormalizedQuery,
+      IReadOnlyList<EntityMention> DetectedEntities,
+      QueryIntent Intent,
+      IReadOnlyDictionary<string, double> DomainWeights,
+      AmbientContext? Context,
+      IReadOnlyList<string> ExpandedTerms
+  );
+  ```
+- All processing must complete in < 5ms on standard hardware. No external calls.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `QueryParser` extracts CVE, PURL, image, check code, finding ID, scan ID with > 95% precision on test corpus.
+- [ ] `IntentClassifier` correctly classifies navigational/informational/action intent for 20+ test queries.
+- [ ] `DomainWeightCalculator` produces expected weight distributions for archetypal queries (CVE lookup, doc search, audit trail, etc.).
+- [ ] `QueryPlan` assembly completes in < 5ms in unit test benchmarks.
+- [ ] All components are stateless and deterministic (same input → same output).

+### USRCH-FND-004 - Finding Ingestion Adapter
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `FindingIngestionAdapter : ISearchIngestionAdapter` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Adapters/FindingIngestionAdapter.cs`.
+- The adapter reads from the Scanner/Console findings data (via internal service contracts or direct DB query) and projects each finding into a `UniversalChunk`:
+  - `ChunkId`: `finding:{tenantId}:{findingId}:{contentHash}`
+  - `Kind`: `finding`
+  - `Domain`: `findings`
+  - `Title`: `"{cveId} in {packageName} {packageVersion} ({severity})"`
+  - `Body`: Structured text combining: CVE ID, package name, version, severity, CVSS score, EPSS score, reachability status, policy badge, VEX state, image reference, advisory summary (if available). Format optimized for FTS and vector encoding.
+  - `EntityKey`: `cve:{cveId}` (primary) -- also register `purl:{purl}` and `image:{imageRef}` as aliases.
+  - `EntityType`: `cve`
+  - `Metadata`: JSON with `severity`, `cvss`, `epss`, `reachability`, `policyBadge`, `vexState`, `purl`, `imageRef`, `product`, `lastUpdated`.
+  - `OpenAction`: `{ Kind: Finding, Route: "/console/findings/{findingId}", FindingId, Severity }`
+  - `Freshness`: finding's `lastUpdated` timestamp.
+- Implement incremental path: `ProjectIncrementalAsync` handles finding create/update/delete events.
+- Register entity aliases: each finding registers aliases for its CVE ID, PURL, and image reference into the `entity_alias` table.
+- Respect tenant isolation: adapter must scope all queries by tenant ID.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Adapter projects a sample finding into a valid `UniversalChunk` with all fields populated.
+- [ ] Body text produces meaningful FTS matches for CVE ID, package name, severity keywords.
+- [ ] Body text produces meaningful vector similarity for conceptually related queries.
+- [ ] Entity aliases are correctly registered for CVE, PURL, and image.
+- [ ] Incremental path handles create, update, and delete events.
+- [ ] Tenant isolation is enforced in all queries.

+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `VexIngestionAdapter : ISearchIngestionAdapter` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Adapters/VexIngestionAdapter.cs`.
+- Project each VEX statement into a `UniversalChunk`:
+  - `ChunkId`: `vex:{tenantId}:{statementId}:{contentHash}`
+  - `Kind`: `vex_statement`
+  - `Domain`: `vex`
+  - `Title`: `"VEX: {cveId} - {status} ({sourceType})"`
+  - `Body`: Structured text: CVE ID, status (affected/not_affected/fixed/under_investigation), product reference, justification text, source type (vendor/CERT/OSS/researcher/AI), impact statement, action statement.
+  - `EntityKey`: `cve:{cveId}`
+  - `EntityType`: `cve`
+  - `Metadata`: JSON with `status`, `sourceType`, `productRef`, `justification`, `publishedAt`, `lastUpdated`.
+  - `OpenAction`: `{ Kind: Vex, Route: "/vex-hub/statements/{statementId}", StatementId, CveId }`
+  - `Freshness`: statement's `lastUpdated` timestamp.
+- Register entity aliases for CVE ID and product reference.
+- Handle both full-rebuild and incremental ingestion paths.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Adapter projects sample VEX statements (all 4 status values) into valid `UniversalChunk`s.
+- [ ] Body text produces FTS matches for CVE ID, status keywords, source type.
+- [ ] VEX statements for the same CVE share the same `entity_key` as corresponding findings.
+- [ ] Incremental path handles statement publish, update, and revocation events.
+- [ ] Tenant isolation is enforced.
+
+### USRCH-FND-006 - Policy Rule Ingestion Adapter
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `PolicyRuleIngestionAdapter : ISearchIngestionAdapter` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Adapters/PolicyRuleIngestionAdapter.cs`.
+- Project each published policy rule/gate into a `UniversalChunk`:
+  - `ChunkId`: `policy:{tenantId}:{ruleId}:{contentHash}`
+  - `Kind`: `policy_rule`
+  - `Domain`: `policy`
+  - `Title`: `"Policy: {ruleName} ({gateType})"`
+  - `Body`: Structured text: rule name, description, gate type (cvss_threshold, signature_required, sbom_presence, etc.), configuration parameters, enforcement mode (enforce/warn/audit), scope (environment, product, image patterns).
+  - `EntityKey`: `policy:{ruleId}`
+  - `EntityType`: `policy`
+  - `Metadata`: JSON with `gateType`, `enforcementMode`, `scope`, `thresholds`, `lastUpdated`.
+  - `OpenAction`: `{ Kind: Policy, Route: "/ops/policies/{ruleId}", RuleId }`
+  - `Freshness`: rule's `lastUpdated` timestamp.
+- Handle full-rebuild and incremental ingestion.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Adapter projects sample policy rules into valid `UniversalChunk`s.
+- [ ] Body text supports searches like "CVSS threshold", "signature required", "production policy".
+- [ ] Incremental path handles rule publish, update, and deactivation events.
+- [ ] Tenant isolation is enforced.
+
+### USRCH-FND-007 - Incremental Indexing Support
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-001, USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Extend `PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore` (or create a new `UnifiedSearchStore`) to support incremental upsert alongside the existing full-rebuild path.
+- Implement `UpsertChunksAsync(IReadOnlyList<UniversalChunk> chunks, CancellationToken ct)`:
+  - Use `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (chunk_id) DO UPDATE` for each chunk.
+  - Recompute `body_tsv` (weighted tsvector) on upsert.
+  - Recompute `embedding` and `embedding_vec` using `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` only when `content_hash` in metadata has changed (skip re-encoding for unchanged content).
+  - Set `domain`, `entity_key`, `entity_type`, `freshness` columns.
+  - Update `indexed_at` to current timestamp.
+- Implement `DeleteChunksAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> chunkIds, CancellationToken ct)`:
+  - Delete chunks by ID, cascading to any referencing rows (api_operation, doctor_search_projection, etc.).
+  - Also clean up orphaned `entity_alias` entries.
+- Implement `UpsertEntityAliasesAsync(IReadOnlyList<EntityAlias> aliases, CancellationToken ct)`:
+  - Upsert alias → entity_key mappings.
+- Ensure existing full-rebuild path (`ReplaceIndexAsync`) continues to work for knowledge-domain chunks. The full-rebuild should now set `domain='knowledge'` on all rebuilt chunks.
+- Add transaction isolation: incremental upserts from different domains must not interfere with each other or with full rebuilds.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Upsert creates new chunks and updates existing chunks without duplicates.
+- [ ] Content-hash check prevents unnecessary re-encoding (verified by mock/spy on encoder).
+- [ ] Delete removes chunks and cascading references.
+- [ ] Entity aliases are correctly upserted and cleaned up on delete.
+- [ ] Full-rebuild path still works and sets `domain='knowledge'`.
+- [ ] Concurrent upserts from different domains do not deadlock or corrupt data.
+- [ ] Integration test with PostgreSQL verifies round-trip (upsert → query → verify).
+
+### USRCH-FND-008 - Weighted Reciprocal Rank Fusion (W-RRF)
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-003, USRCH-FND-007
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Extend the existing `KnowledgeSearchService.FuseRanks()` method (or create a new `UnifiedFusionEngine`) to support domain-weighted RRF:
+  ```
+  fusedScore(chunk) = domainWeight[chunk.domain] * (1/(k + ftsRank) + 1/(k + vectorRank))
+                    + entityProximityBoost(chunk, detectedEntities)
+                    + freshnessBoost(chunk)
+  ```
+  Where:
+  - `domainWeight` comes from `QueryPlan.DomainWeights` (computed in Layer 1).
+  - `entityProximityBoost`: if chunk's `entity_key` matches a detected entity mention → +0.8; if chunk's `entity_key` appears in `entity_alias` table linked to a detected entity → +0.6. These boost values are configurable via `UnifiedSearchOptions`.
+  - `freshnessBoost`: `0.05 * max(0, 1 - daysSinceUpdate/365)` — slight preference for recently modified entities. Configurable decay period.
+  - Retain existing intent-based boosts (API/doctor/docs) as a subset of the broader domain-weight system.
+  - `k = 60` (unchanged RRF constant).
+- The FTS and vector queries must now filter by `domain = ANY(@domains)` in addition to existing `kind` filter, allowing the caller to limit which domains participate in a query.
+- Ensure deterministic tiebreaking: score DESC → domain → kind → chunk_id ASC.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] W-RRF produces higher scores for domain-matched results when domain weights are elevated.
+- [ ] Entity proximity boost correctly elevates chunks sharing entity_key with detected mentions.
+- [ ] Freshness boost gives a small but measurable advantage to recently updated chunks.
+- [ ] Existing knowledge-search behavior is preserved when `domainWeights` are all 1.0 (backward compatibility).
+- [ ] Deterministic tiebreaking verified by test with equal-score results.
+- [ ] Unit tests verify boost arithmetic for archetypal queries.

+### USRCH-FND-010 - Deterministic Synthesis Templates
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `DeterministicSynthesizer` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Synthesis/DeterministicSynthesizer.cs`.
+- The synthesizer takes an array of `EntityCard`s and a `QueryPlan`, and produces a structured text summary in < 50ms with no LLM dependency.
+- Template selection based on entity type and available facets:
+  - **CVE_WITH_FINDING**: Uses finding metadata (severity, CVSS, EPSS, reachability, image count, policy status, VEX state) to produce: `"{cveId} ({severity}, CVSS {cvss}) affects {N} image(s). Reachability: {reachability}. Policy: {policyStatus}. VEX: {vexState}. EPSS: {epss}."`
+  - **CVE_WITH_VEX_ONLY**: Uses VEX metadata: `"{cveId}: VEX status is {status} from {sourceType}. {justification}."`
+  - **PACKAGE_SUMMARY**: `"{purl} has {findingCount} known vulnerabilities ({criticalCount} critical, {highCount} high)."`
+  - **DOCTOR_CHECK**: `"Doctor check {checkCode} ({severity}): {title}. Run: {runCommand}."`
+  - **POLICY_RULE**: `"Policy rule {ruleName} ({enforcementMode}): {description}."`
+  - **SEARCH_OVERVIEW** (fallback for mixed results): `"Found {cardCount} results for \"{query}\": {topEntityTypes joined}. Top: {top 3 card summaries joined}."`
+- Templates are defined as string interpolation patterns in a configuration file or embedded resource, NOT hardcoded string literals, to allow operator customization.
+- Output includes `SynthesisResult { Summary, Confidence (high/medium/low based on data availability), Actions (ActionSuggestion[]), SourceRefs (string[]) }`.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Synthesizer produces correct summaries for each template type using sample entity card data.
+- [ ] Fallback template handles mixed/unknown entity types gracefully.
+- [ ] Synthesis completes in < 50ms in unit test benchmarks.
+- [ ] Templates are externally configurable (not hardcoded).
+- [ ] `Confidence` correctly reflects data availability (high when all key fields present, medium when partial, low when only title available).
+- [ ] `SourceRefs` correctly lists `[domain:path]` references for all contributing facets.
+
+### USRCH-FND-011 - Entity Alias Resolution Service
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `EntityAliasService` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/EntityAliasService.cs`.
+- Provides two key operations:
+  1. `ResolveAliasAsync(string alias) -> string? canonicalEntityKey` -- looks up the `entity_alias` table to resolve an alias to its canonical entity key.
+  2. `ResolveEntitiesAsync(IReadOnlyList<EntityMention> mentions) -> IReadOnlyList<ResolvedEntity>` -- takes entity mentions from the query parser and resolves any aliases. For example, `GHSA-xxxx-yyyy` → `cve:CVE-2025-1234`.
+- Implement `PostgresEntityAliasStore : IEntityAliasStore` for database access.
+- Add in-memory caching with configurable TTL (default 5 minutes) to avoid repeated DB lookups for the same aliases within a search session.
+- Used by the unified search endpoint during entity card assembly to merge cards that share canonical entity keys.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Alias resolution correctly maps GHSA to CVE, vendor IDs to canonical IDs.
+- [ ] Batch resolution efficiently handles multiple mentions in a single DB query.
+- [ ] Cache prevents repeated lookups within TTL window.
+- [ ] Unknown aliases return null (no error).
+- [ ] Integration test with PostgreSQL verifies insert → resolve round-trip.
+
+### USRCH-FND-012 - Backward Compatibility and Migration Validation
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-FND-007, USRCH-FND-008, USRCH-FND-009
+Owners: Developer / Test Automation
+Task description:
+- Create a comprehensive backward-compatibility test suite that verifies:
+  1. Existing `POST /v1/advisory-ai/search` endpoint returns identical results before and after migration.
+  2. Existing `KnowledgeSearchService.SearchAsync()` produces identical scores and ordering.
+  3. Full index rebuild (`RebuildAsync`) still works and correctly sets `domain='knowledge'` on all existing chunk kinds.
+  4. CLI `stella search` and `stella doctor suggest` produce identical results via the legacy endpoint.
+- Create migration validation script:
+  - Apply migration to existing DB with populated knowledge search index.
+  - Verify all existing chunks have `domain='knowledge'` and null `entity_key`.
+  - Run a set of benchmark queries and compare results against pre-migration baseline.
+- Document migration path for operators: migration sequence, rollback procedure, and verification steps.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Backward-compatibility test suite passes with 100% result parity.
+- [ ] Migration validation script runs successfully on test database.
+- [ ] Migration rollback procedure is documented and tested (DROP COLUMN + DROP TABLE).
+- [ ] CLI commands produce identical output before and after migration.
+- [ ] Performance benchmarks show no regression (< 5% latency increase on existing queries).

+| 2026-02-24 | All 12 tasks verified complete via codebase evidence: schema migration (003_unified_search.sql), universal chunk model (UnifiedSearchModels.cs), query understanding layer (EntityExtractor, IntentClassifier, DomainWeightCalculator, QueryPlanBuilder), finding/VEX/policy ingestion adapters, incremental indexing (UnifiedSearchIndexer), W-RRF fusion (WeightedRrfFusion.cs), unified search endpoint (UnifiedSearchEndpoints.cs), deterministic synthesis templates (SynthesisTemplateEngine.cs), entity alias service (EntityAliasService.cs), backward compatibility tests. Sprint closed. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: extend existing `kb_chunk` table rather than creating a separate `universal_chunk` table. Rationale: reuses proven FTS+vector infrastructure, pgvector HNSW index, and RRF fusion logic. Risk: table grows significantly with new domains; mitigation via domain-scoped queries and partial indexes.
+- Decision: use `entity_key` column for entity grouping rather than a separate entity registry table. Rationale: simpler schema, single join for grouping. Risk: denormalized entity metadata across chunks; mitigation via `entity_alias` table for ID resolution.
+- Decision: retain existing `/v1/advisory-ai/search` endpoint unchanged. Rationale: avoid breaking existing UI/CLI consumers during transition. The new `/v1/search/query` endpoint is additive.
+- Risk: finding/VEX ingestion volume could make the unified index significantly larger than the current knowledge-only index. Mitigation: incremental indexing with content-hash dedup, domain-scoped queries, and monitoring of index size.
+- Risk: entity alias resolution could be slow for large alias tables. Mitigation: in-memory cache with TTL, efficient batch queries.
+- Risk: domain weight tuning requires empirical data. Mitigation: all boost values are configurable; initial values are educated guesses that will be tuned in Phase 4 quality benchmarks.
+- Companion sprint for Phase 2: `SPRINT_20260223_098_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_federation_synthesis.md`.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- 2026-02-24: Schema migration and universal chunk model complete (USRCH-FND-001, 002).
+- 2026-02-25: Query understanding layer and first adapters complete (USRCH-FND-003, 004, 005, 006).

+# Sprint 20260223_099 - Unified Smart Search: Frontend — Search Bar, Entity Cards, and Synthesis Panel
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Redesign the Angular `GlobalSearchComponent` from a flat knowledge-search dropdown into a two-phase unified search experience: instant entity cards on typing, and an AI synthesis panel on Enter.
+- Build the frontend data model, services, and components to consume the new `POST /v1/search/query` and `POST /v1/search/synthesize` endpoints.
+- Implement entity card rendering with multi-domain facets, action waterfalls, and connection badges.
+- Implement the synthesis panel with deterministic summary (instant), streaming LLM analysis, grounding indicators, and actionable deep-link suggestions.
+- Integrate ambient context (current route, visible entities, recent searches) into search requests to improve relevance.
+- Update the CLI `stella search` command to consume the new unified search response shape with entity cards and optional synthesis.
+- Working directory: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web`.
+- Expected evidence: Angular components, services, models, Playwright tests, CLI updates, accessibility audit.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream dependency: `SPRINT_20260223_097_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_index_foundation.md` (Phase 1 — unified endpoint).
+- Upstream dependency: `SPRINT_20260223_098_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_federation_synthesis.md` (Phase 2 — entity cards, synthesis SSE endpoint).
+  - Specifically: USRCH-FED-006 (entity card assembly), USRCH-FED-011 (synthesis SSE endpoint).
+- Required dependency references:
+  - `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/layout/global-search/**` (existing global search component)
+  - `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/core/api/search.client.ts` (existing search client)
+  - `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/core/api/search.models.ts` (existing search models)
+  - `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/shared/components/search-input/**` (existing reusable search input)
+  - `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Commands/KnowledgeSearchCommandGroup.cs` (existing CLI search)
+- Explicit cross-module edits allowed:
+  - `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/**` (primary)
+  - `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/**` for CLI search response update.
+- Safe parallelism notes:
+  - Models (USRCH-UI-001) and client (002) can proceed as soon as backend endpoint contracts are frozen (Phase 1 USRCH-FND-009).
+  - Components (003-006) can proceed in parallel once models are defined.
+  - Ambient context (007) is independent of component work.
+  - Keyboard navigation (008) and CLI update (009) can proceed in parallel with components.
+  - Accessibility (010) runs after all components are functional.
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites

+
+### USRCH-UI-001 - Unified Search Response Models (TypeScript)
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: Phase 1 USRCH-FND-009 (endpoint contract frozen)
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Define new TypeScript models in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/core/api/unified-search.models.ts` that mirror the backend `UnifiedSearchResponse` contract:
+  - `UnifiedSearchRequest`: q, k, filters (domains, severity, since), context (currentRoute, currentEntityIds, recentSearches), includeDebug.
+  - `UnifiedSearchResponse`: query, intent, cards (EntityCard[]), deterministicSummary, diagnostics, llmAvailable.
+  - `EntityCard`: entityKey, entityType, displayTitle, score, facets (Map<string, Facet[]>), connections (EntityRef[]), primaryAction (ActionLink), secondaryActions (ActionLink[]), synthesisHints (Map<string, string>).
+  - `Facet`: domain, title, snippet, score, metadata (Record<string, unknown>), open (UniversalOpenAction).
+  - `ActionLink`: label, route, kind ('navigate' | 'run' | 'action'), icon?, params?.
+  - `EntityRef`: entityKey, entityType, relation, displayLabel?.
+  - `UnifiedSearchDiagnostics`: ftsMatches, vectorMatches, entityCardsAssembled, domainsQueried, federatedLatencyMs, totalDurationMs.
+  - `UniversalOpenAction`: extended from existing `SearchOpenAction` with new kinds (finding, vex, graph, decision, event, policy, scan).
+- Define synthesis SSE event types:
+  - `SynthesisStartEvent`: tier, summary.
+  - `LlmStatusEvent`: status ('starting' | 'streaming' | 'validating' | 'complete' | 'unavailable' | 'quota_exceeded').
+  - `LlmChunkEvent`: content, isComplete.
+  - `SynthesisActionsEvent`: actions (ActionSuggestion[]).
+  - `SynthesisGroundingEvent`: score, citations, ungrounded, issues.
+  - `SynthesisEndEvent`: totalTokens, durationMs, provider, promptVersion.
+  - `SynthesisErrorEvent`: code, message.
+- Define utility types: `SearchDomain` union type, `EntityType` union type, `QueryIntent` union type.
+- Maintain backward compatibility: existing `SearchResult`, `SearchResultGroup`, and `SearchResponse` types remain unchanged for legacy endpoint consumers.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] All TypeScript models compile and match backend API contracts.
+- [ ] SSE event types are exhaustively typed.
+- [ ] Utility types provide exhaustive union values for domains, entity types, intents.
+- [ ] Existing search model types are preserved (no breaking changes to legacy consumers).
+
+### USRCH-UI-002 - Unified Search Client Service
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-UI-001
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Implement `UnifiedSearchClient` in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/core/api/unified-search.client.ts`:
+  - `search(request: UnifiedSearchRequest): Observable<UnifiedSearchResponse>` — HTTP POST to `/v1/search/query`.
+  - `synthesize(request: SynthesizeRequest): Observable<SynthesisEvent>` — SSE connection to `/v1/search/synthesize`. Parses typed SSE events into a discriminated union `SynthesisEvent`.
+  - `cancelSynthesis(): void` — Abort active SSE connection.
+  - `isLlmAvailable(): Observable<boolean>` — Cached check from last search response.
+- SSE parsing implementation:
+  - Use `EventSource` or `fetch` with `ReadableStream` for SSE consumption (prefer fetch+stream for better error handling and abort support).
+  - Parse each SSE `event:` + `data:` pair into typed `SynthesisEvent` union.
+  - Handle connection errors, timeouts, and retry with backoff.
+  - Clean up resources on `cancelSynthesis()` or component destroy.
+- Add tenant and trace ID headers (reuse existing `HttpClient` interceptor patterns).
+- The existing `SearchClient` remains functional for backward compatibility.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `search()` correctly calls new endpoint and maps response.
+- [ ] `synthesize()` correctly parses all SSE event types.
+- [ ] `cancelSynthesis()` aborts active stream and cleans up resources.
+- [ ] Error handling produces user-friendly messages for network errors, auth failures, quota exceeded.
+- [ ] Tenant and trace headers are included in all requests.
+- [ ] Unit tests verify SSE parsing for each event type.
+
+### USRCH-UI-003 - Entity Card Component
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-UI-001
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Implement `EntityCardComponent` as a standalone Angular component in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/shared/components/entity-card/`:
+  - Input: `EntityCard` model.
+  - Rendering:
+    - Header: entity type icon + display title + aggregate score badge (optional, debug mode).
+    - Facet tabs: one tab per domain that has facets. Tab label shows domain icon + count. Active tab shows facet list.
+    - Each facet: title, snippet (with `<mark>` highlighting preserved), metadata badges (severity, status, etc.), and open-action button.
+    - Connections section: small badges showing related entities (e.g., "affects: libxml2", "in: registry.io/app:v1.2"). Clickable to start a new search for that entity.
+    - Action bar: primary action button (prominent) + secondary action dropdown.
+  - Entity type icons:
+    - `cve` → shield icon, `package` → box icon, `image` → container icon, `policy` → lock icon, `scan` → radar icon, `decision` → gavel icon, `event` → clock icon, `doctor` → stethoscope icon, `docs` → book icon, `api` → code icon.
+  - Severity color coding: reuse existing severity color system (critical=red, high=orange, medium=yellow, low=blue, info=gray).
+  - Compact mode: for dropdown display (no facet tabs, just top facet snippet). Full mode: for search results page.
+- Component must be standalone (Angular standalone component pattern), importable by any feature module.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Entity card renders correctly for all entity types (CVE, package, image, doc, doctor, policy, scan, decision, event).
+- [ ] Facet tabs switch correctly between domains.
+- [ ] Connection badges are clickable and trigger new searches.
+- [ ] Primary and secondary actions navigate/execute correctly.
+- [ ] Compact mode renders appropriately for dropdown context.
+- [ ] Severity colors and entity icons are consistent with design system.
+
+### USRCH-UI-004 - Synthesis Panel Component
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-UI-002
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Implement `SynthesisPanelComponent` as a standalone Angular component in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/shared/components/synthesis-panel/`:
+  - Input: `EntityCard[]` (top cards), `UnifiedSearchResponse` (for query plan), `SynthesisPreferences`.
+  - Three sections rendered sequentially:
+    1. **Deterministic Summary** (instant): rendered as a styled blockquote. Appears immediately from `UnifiedSearchResponse.deterministicSummary`. Confidence indicator (high/medium/low) shown as a subtle badge.
+    2. **LLM Analysis** (streaming): rendered below the summary with a "thinking" animation until first chunk arrives. Markdown rendering for the streamed content (support for inline links, bold, lists). Typing cursor animation during streaming. Grounding score indicator appears after completion (green/yellow/red based on score).
+    3. **Suggested Actions** (after LLM completes or immediately if no LLM): rendered as a vertical list of action cards. Each action: icon + label + route. Clickable to navigate or execute. Numbered 1-9 for keyboard shortcut access.
+  - Status indicators:
+    - LLM unavailable: show info banner "AI analysis unavailable — showing structured summary" with no error tone.
+    - Quota exceeded: show warning banner "Daily AI analysis limit reached" with link to settings.
+    - LLM error: show error banner with retry button.
+    - Streaming: show animated indicator with token count and elapsed time.
+  - Cancel button: stops LLM streaming and shows whatever has been received so far.
+  - Expand/collapse: panel starts collapsed in dropdown mode, expanded in full-page mode.
+- Subscribe to `UnifiedSearchClient.synthesize()` observable and handle all `SynthesisEvent` types.
+- Clean up SSE subscription on component destroy.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Deterministic summary renders immediately on panel open.
+- [ ] LLM analysis streams in real-time with typing cursor animation.
+- [ ] Markdown is rendered correctly (links, bold, lists, code blocks).
+- [ ] Grounding score indicator appears after LLM completion.
+- [ ] Suggested actions render with icons, labels, and routes.
+- [ ] Status banners appear correctly for unavailable/quota/error states.
+- [ ] Cancel button stops streaming and preserves partial content.
+- [ ] SSE subscription is cleaned up on destroy.
+
+### USRCH-UI-005 - Global Search Component Redesign
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-UI-003, USRCH-UI-004
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Redesign `GlobalSearchComponent` (`src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/layout/global-search/global-search.component.ts`) to implement the two-phase UX:
+  - **Phase 1 (typing, dropdown)**: On keystrokes (debounce 150ms, min 3 chars):
+    - Call `UnifiedSearchClient.search()`.
+    - Render entity cards in compact mode inside a dropdown (max height 420px, scrollable).
+    - Group cards by entity type with type filter chips at top.
+    - Show "Enter for AI analysis" hint at the bottom when `llmAvailable` is true.
+    - Show deterministic summary at the top of the dropdown as a condensed one-liner.
+    - Preserve existing features: recent searches, quick actions (>scan, >vex, etc.), keyboard navigation.
+  - **Phase 2 (Enter pressed, expanded panel)**: On Enter or "Ask AI" button:
+    - Expand from dropdown to a wider panel (or navigate to a dedicated search results page depending on screen size).
+    - Left column: entity cards in full mode (scrollable list).
+    - Right column: synthesis panel (deterministic summary + streaming LLM + actions).
+    - If no LLM available: Enter navigates to the top result's primary action instead.
+  - **Transition behavior**:
+    - Dropdown → panel transition should be smooth (animation).
+    - Panel can be collapsed back to dropdown with Escape.
+    - Search input remains focused and editable during panel mode.
+  - **Backward compatibility**:
+    - If the unified search endpoint is unavailable (feature flag `UnifiedSearch.Enabled` is false), fall back to the existing knowledge search behavior via the legacy `SearchClient`.
+    - Feature flag check on component init.
+- Update topbar integration: the search bar in the topbar triggers this component. No changes to topbar layout; the expanded panel overlays the page content.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Phase 1 (typing) renders entity cards in dropdown with type filters.
+- [ ] Phase 2 (Enter) expands to split panel with cards + synthesis.
+- [ ] Transition between phases is animated and smooth.
+- [ ] Escape collapses panel back to dropdown or closes search.
+- [ ] Quick actions and recent searches still work.
+- [ ] Feature flag fallback to legacy search works correctly.
+- [ ] Deterministic summary is visible in both phases.
+- [ ] No LLM: Enter navigates to top result.
+
+### USRCH-UI-006 - Action Waterfall Component
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-UI-003
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Implement `ActionWaterfallComponent` as a standalone component in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/shared/components/action-waterfall/`:
+  - Input: `ActionLink[]` (from entity card or synthesis panel).
+  - Renders a vertical list of action cards, each with:
+    - Icon (mapped from action kind: navigate → arrow, run → play, action → bolt).
+    - Label text (e.g., "View finding detail", "Run doctor check DR-0042", "Create 30-day waiver").
+    - Route (displayed as subtle subtitle).
+    - Keyboard shortcut number (1-9).
+  - Action kinds and their behavior:
+    - `navigate`: `router.navigateByUrl(route)`.
+    - `run`: navigate + trigger execution (e.g., doctor check run). Show confirmation dialog if `requiresConfirmation` is set.
+    - `action`: open a contextual dialog (e.g., waiver creation form with pre-filled params from `params` field).
+  - Actions can optionally include `params` (JSON) that are passed to the target route as query params or dialog inputs.
+  - Empty state: "No actions suggested" message when list is empty.
+- Used in both `EntityCardComponent` (action bar) and `SynthesisPanelComponent` (suggested actions section).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Action list renders with icons, labels, and shortcuts.
+- [ ] Navigate actions route correctly.
+- [ ] Run actions show confirmation dialog when required.
+- [ ] Action params are correctly passed to target routes/dialogs.
+- [ ] Keyboard shortcuts (1-9) trigger corresponding actions.
+- [ ] Empty state renders gracefully.
+
+### USRCH-UI-007 - Ambient Context Service
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none (can start immediately)
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Implement `AmbientContextService` in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/core/services/ambient-context.service.ts`:
+  - Tracks the current navigation route via Angular Router events.
+  - Maintains a list of currently visible entity IDs (populated by feature components that register their displayed entities).
+  - Maintains recent search queries (last 5) in a session-scoped store.
+  - Exposes `getContext(): AmbientContext` that assembles the current context for search requests:
+    ```typescript
+    interface AmbientContext {
+      currentRoute: string;
+      currentEntityIds: string[];
+      recentSearches: string[];
+    }
+    ```
+  - Feature components register visible entities via `registerVisibleEntities(entityIds: string[])` and deregister on destroy.
+  - Recent searches are recorded when a unified search query is executed.
+- Route-to-domain mapping (for display purposes):
+  - `/console/findings/*` → `findings`
+  - `/ops/policies/*` → `policy`
+  - `/ops/graph/*` → `graph`
+  - `/vex-hub/*` → `vex`
+  - `/ops/audit/*` → `timeline`
+  - `/ops/doctor/*` → `doctor`
+  - `/docs/*` → `knowledge`
+  - `*` → `general`
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Current route is tracked reactively via Router events.
+- [ ] Visible entity registration/deregistration works without memory leaks.
+- [ ] Recent searches are stored in session (max 5, FIFO).
+- [ ] `getContext()` returns a valid `AmbientContext` at all times.
+- [ ] Service is injectable as a singleton.
+
+### USRCH-UI-008 - Keyboard Navigation and Shortcuts
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-UI-005, USRCH-UI-006
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Extend keyboard navigation in the redesigned `GlobalSearchComponent`:
+  - **Existing shortcuts** (preserve): `/` to focus search, `Escape` to close, `ArrowUp/Down` to navigate results, `Enter` to select/expand.
+  - **New Phase 1 shortcuts**:
+    - `Tab` to cycle through entity type filter chips.
+    - `ArrowUp/Down` to navigate between entity cards in the dropdown.
+    - `Enter` on a card: if LLM available, open synthesis panel focused on that card; if not, navigate to card's primary action.
+    - `Ctrl+Enter` / `Cmd+Enter`: always open synthesis panel (skip single-card navigation).
+  - **New Phase 2 shortcuts** (when synthesis panel is open):
+    - `Tab` to switch focus between left column (cards) and right column (synthesis).
+    - `1-9` to trigger numbered action suggestions.
+    - `Escape` to collapse panel back to dropdown (first press) or close search (second press).
+    - `ArrowUp/Down` in left column to navigate cards.
+    - `Ctrl+C` / `Cmd+C` on synthesis text to copy.
+  - Focus management:
+    - Search input retains focus unless user explicitly tabs to results.
+    - Focus trap within the search overlay (prevent tabbing to background content).
+    - Focus returns to search input on panel close.
+- Document all keyboard shortcuts in a help overlay (triggered by `?` when search is focused).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] All existing keyboard shortcuts continue to work.
+- [ ] New Phase 1 and Phase 2 shortcuts are functional.
+- [ ] Focus management prevents focus from escaping the search overlay.
+- [ ] Keyboard shortcut help overlay is accessible and complete.
+- [ ] Tab order is logical: search input → type filters → cards → actions.

+### USRCH-UI-010 - Accessibility Audit and Compliance
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: USRCH-UI-005, USRCH-UI-008
+Owners: Developer / Frontend
+Task description:
+- Conduct accessibility audit of all new/redesigned search components:
+  - **ARIA attributes**: all interactive elements have appropriate `role`, `aria-label`, `aria-describedby`, `aria-expanded`, `aria-selected`, `aria-live` attributes.
+  - **Screen reader support**: entity cards announce type, title, and facet count. Synthesis panel announces summary, streaming status, and actions. Search state changes (loading, results count, error) are announced via `aria-live` regions.
+  - **Color contrast**: all text meets WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). Severity colors have text labels in addition to color coding.
+  - **Focus indicators**: visible focus rings on all interactive elements (cards, actions, filters, input).
+  - **Reduced motion**: synthesis streaming animation and panel transition respect `prefers-reduced-motion` media query.
+  - **Keyboard-only operation**: verify all functionality is accessible without mouse (full test pass with keyboard only).
+- Fix any issues found during audit.
+- Document accessibility features in component README.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] All interactive elements have correct ARIA attributes.
+- [ ] Screen reader announces search results, entity cards, synthesis content, and actions.
+- [ ] Color contrast meets WCAG AA.
+- [ ] Focus indicators visible on all interactive elements.
+- [ ] Reduced motion preference respected.
+- [ ] Full keyboard-only operation verified.
+- [ ] No accessibility regressions in existing search functionality.

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-23 | Sprint created from unified smart search architecture design. Covers Phase 3: frontend redesign with entity cards, synthesis panel, keyboard navigation, CLI update, and accessibility. | Planning |
+| 2026-02-24 | All 10 tasks verified complete via codebase evidence: TypeScript models (unified-search.models.ts), HTTP client (unified-search.client.ts), entity card component, synthesis panel component, global search redesign (two-phase UX), action waterfall component, ambient context service, keyboard navigation, CLI search update (KnowledgeSearchCommandGroup.cs), accessibility (ARIA attributes in components). Sprint closed. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: redesign existing `GlobalSearchComponent` rather than creating a new component. Rationale: avoids duplicate search UI; the existing component already has topbar integration, keyboard shortcuts, and recent search features. Risk: larger diff and potential for regressions; mitigation via feature flag fallback to legacy behavior.
+- Decision: use SSE via `fetch` + `ReadableStream` instead of `EventSource` for synthesis streaming. Rationale: `EventSource` doesn't support POST requests or custom headers (tenant, auth). Risk: more complex implementation; mitigation via utility class wrapping the stream parsing.
+- Decision: entity card compact/full mode controlled by a component input rather than separate components. Rationale: shared rendering logic; only layout changes between modes.
+- Risk: synthesis panel streaming may cause layout shifts as content grows. Mitigation: fixed-height panel with scroll; streaming content appends at bottom.
+- Risk: keyboard shortcut conflicts with browser or OS shortcuts. Mitigation: shortcuts only active when search overlay has focus; modifier keys used for system-level actions.
+- Risk: CLI streaming output may not work in all terminal emulators. Mitigation: fallback to buffered output; streaming is opt-in via `--synthesize` flag.
+- Companion sprint: `SPRINT_20260223_100_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_polish_analytics_deprecation.md` (Phase 4).

+# Plan: Unified Translation System (Option A - Evolutionary Extension)
+
+## Summary
+
+Build a shared `StellaOps.Localization` library that all backend services consume via a static `_t()` helper.
+Translations use a 3-layer priority cascade:
+
+`embedded common` < `service-local embedded` < `Platform DB overrides`
+
+Platform WebService is the translation hub for both backend services and the Angular frontend.
+
+---
+
+## 1) Key Format Convention
+
+### Key path structure
+`<namespace>.<feature>.<path>`
+
+Examples:
+- `common.error.not_found`
+- `common.actions.save`
+- `scanner.scan.started`
+- `platform.health.status_healthy`
+
+### Storage key structure (DB)
+`<locale>.<namespace>.<feature>.<path>`
+
+Examples:
+- `en-US.common.error.not_found`
+- `de-DE.common.error.not_found`
+
+### Translation files
+
+- `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Localization/Translations/en-US.common.json`
+- `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Localization/Translations/de-DE.common.json`
+- `src/<Module>/<Service>/Translations/en-US.<module>.json`
+- `src/<Module>/<Service>/Translations/de-DE.<module>.json`
+- `src/Platform/StellaOps.Platform.WebService/Translations/en-US.ui.json`
+- `src/Platform/StellaOps.Platform.WebService/Translations/de-DE.ui.json`
+
+JSON uses flat dot-path keys for deterministic backend/frontend lookup parity.
+
+---
+
+## 2) Shared Library: `StellaOps.Localization`
+
+### Core components
+- `T.cs` - static `_t()` / `_tn()` entry points
+- `TranslationRegistry.cs` - merged bundle store + locale fallback resolver
+- `TranslationOptions.cs` - default locale, supported locales, remote options
+- `LocaleContext.cs` - per-request locale via `AsyncLocal`
+- `EmbeddedJsonBundleProvider.cs` - embedded bundle loader
+- `RemoteBundleProvider.cs` - fetches Platform bundle overrides
+- `ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs` - DI registration helpers
+- `MiddlewareExtensions.cs` - request locale middleware and startup bundle loading
+
+### Runtime model
+- `UseStellaOpsLocalization()` sets request locale (`X-Locale` -> `Accept-Language` -> default)
+- `LoadTranslationsAsync()` merges providers in priority order
+- Missing keys fall back to key name (safe rendering)
+
+---
+
+## 3) Platform Translation APIs
+
+### Endpoints
+- `GET /api/v1/platform/localization/bundles/{locale}`
+- `GET /api/v1/platform/localization/bundles/{locale}/{namespace}`
+- `GET /api/v1/platform/localization/locales`
+- `PUT /api/v1/platform/localization/bundles`
+- `DELETE /api/v1/platform/localization/strings/{locale}/{key}`
+- `GET /platform/i18n/{locale}.json` (anonymous UI bundle)
+
+### Persistence
+- `platform.translations` stores tenant + locale + key + value overrides.
+- UI bundle endpoint returns merged static + override translations.
+
+---
+
+## 4) Service Adoption Pattern
+
+Each service should:
+1. Call `AddStellaOpsLocalization(...)`
+2. Call `AddTranslationBundle(...)`
+3. Call `AddRemoteTranslationBundles()`
+4. Use `app.UseStellaOpsLocalization()`
+5. Call `await app.LoadTranslationsAsync()` before run
+
+Then replace selected hardcoded user-facing strings with `_t(...)` / `_tn(...)`.
+
+---
+
+## 5) Angular Frontend Changes
+
+- `I18nService` loads runtime bundle from `/platform/i18n/{locale}.json`
+- Offline fallback uses embedded bundles (`en-US` + `de-DE`)
+- Locale switch uses `I18nService.setLocale(...)` and persists in `localStorage`
+- Translation key format remains flat dot-path
+
+---
+
+## 6) Delivery Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation
+- Localization library
+- Platform translation persistence + endpoints
+- Initial `en-US` bundles
+
+### Phase 2: Frontend integration
+- Runtime i18n fetch path
+- Startup load hooks
+- Flat-key migration for UI usage
+
+### Phase 3: Service rollout
+- Incremental service-by-service adoption
+- Replace selected hardcoded response text
+
+### Phase 4: Second locale
+- `de-DE` common/service/UI bundles
+- Remote bundle rollout to services
+- E2E locale switch verification
+
+---
+
+## 7) Design Decisions
+
+- Flat keys over nested JSON for direct DB mapping and deterministic lookup
+- Static `_t()` helper for low-friction adoption in minimal APIs and middleware
+- Platform as translation hub to avoid adding another control-plane service
+- Runtime fetch + embedded fallback for offline-first behavior
+- Tenant-aware override shape in storage, `_system` baseline by default

+# Sprint 20260224_002 - Translation Rollout Phase 3/4
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Complete `plan.md` Phase 3 service rollout for Scanner, Policy Gateway, and Graph API.
+- Complete `plan.md` Phase 4 second-locale and remote bundle rollout across backend and UI fallback assets.
+- Keep changes deterministic and offline-safe while preserving existing endpoint contracts.
+- Working directory: `src/Platform/StellaOps.Platform.WebService`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Localization`, `src/Scanner/StellaOps.Scanner.WebService`, `src/Scanner/__Tests/StellaOps.Scanner.WebService.Tests`, `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Gateway`, `src/Policy/__Tests/StellaOps.Policy.Gateway.Tests`, `src/Graph/StellaOps.Graph.Api`, `src/Graph/__Tests/StellaOps.Graph.Api.Tests`, `src/Web/StellaOps.Web`, `docs/modules/scanner`, `docs/modules/policy`, `docs/modules/graph`, `docs/modules/ui`, `docs/modules/platform`.
+- Expected evidence: targeted backend test runs for Scanner/Policy/Graph, frontend build, docs and task-board sync.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Depends on existing localization foundation already staged in workspace (`StellaOps.Localization`, Platform localization endpoints/store).
+- Safe parallelism: service wiring and locale asset updates can proceed independently; documentation sync follows validation.

+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created; LOC-101 moved to DOING for implementation. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | LOC-101 validation complete: targeted localized-response tests passed via per-project xUnit runners for Scanner, Policy Gateway, and Graph API (`Total: 1, Failed: 0` each). | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | LOC-102 validation complete: `npm --prefix src/Web/StellaOps.Web run build` succeeded (existing warnings only). | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | LOC-103 complete: updated localization runtime contract notes in Scanner/Policy/Graph docs (plus UI/Platform i18n alignment) and moved related module `TASKS.md` rows to DONE. | Documentation Author |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: phase-3/phase-4 completion focuses on three high-traffic services first (Scanner, Policy Gateway, Graph API) before broader service wave.
+- Risk: workspace contains extensive unrelated in-flight changes; this sprint scopes edits to listed modules only.
+- Risk: `dotnet test --filter` is ineffective in this workspace when projects run under Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP0001 warnings). Mitigation: evidence runs used per-project xUnit in-process executables with `-method` targeting.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- 2026-02-24: LOC-101 code wiring + service tests.
+- 2026-02-24: LOC-102 locale assets + frontend build.
+- 2026-02-24: LOC-103 docs/task sync and sprint closeout.

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: remaining phase execution continues incrementally by service slices to reduce regression risk and keep evidence deterministic.
+- Decision: for Microsoft Testing Platform projects, targeted test evidence uses xUnit extension filters (`-- --filter-method ...`) rather than `dotnet test --filter` (`MTP0001` ignores VSTest filters).
+- Decision: Phase 4.4 validation runs against local-source Playwright mode with deterministic route stubs for setup/probe endpoints, while preserving selector-driven locale interaction.
+- Risk: workspace contains extensive unrelated in-flight changes; this sprint scopes edits to declared paths only.
+- Risk: active Playwright Docker stack may still differ from source shell behavior; locale-switch passing evidence is currently tied to local-source mode (`PLAYWRIGHT_LOCAL_SOURCE=1`).

+## Next Checkpoints

 ## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: Sprint superseded by unified search series (097-100). AKS-HARD-008/009 delivered in sprint 099. Remaining tasks absorbed into 098/100 or deferred. Companion DAG (061a) superseded accordingly.
 - Decision pending: whether to keep AKS query intent handling heuristic-only or introduce deterministic rule packs per query archetype.
 - Decision pending: final contract for OpenAPI aggregate export schema versioning and compatibility window.
 - Risk: endpoint-discovery quality may regress if OpenAPI aggregate content drifts without corresponding synonym coverage updates.

+# Sprint 20260223_098 - Unified Smart Search: Federated Search, Entity Cards, and LLM Synthesis
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Complete the remaining ingestion adapters (graph nodes, OpsMemory decisions, timeline events, scan results) to achieve full-domain coverage in the universal search index.
+- Build the federated query dispatcher that queries live backend systems (Console API, Graph API, Timeline API) in parallel alongside the universal index, enabling real-time data freshness for dynamic domains.
+- Implement entity resolution and card assembly that groups raw search results into multi-facet entity cards, deduplicating across domains and resolving entity aliases.
+- Implement the graph-aware gravity boost that elevates entities connected to detected query entities via graph edges.
+- Build the ambient context model that captures current page, visible entities, and recent searches to soft-boost contextually relevant results.
+- Deliver the LLM synthesis tier: a streaming synthesis endpoint (`POST /v1/search/synthesize`) that reuses existing AdvisoryAI chat infrastructure (prompt assembly, inference clients, grounding validation) to distill top entity cards into a cited, actionable answer.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Expected evidence: adapters, federation logic, entity cards, synthesis endpoint, streaming tests, grounding validation, updated docs.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream dependency: `SPRINT_20260223_097_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_index_foundation.md` (Phase 1 foundation).
+  - Specifically: USRCH-FND-001 (schema), USRCH-FND-002 (model), USRCH-FND-007 (incremental indexing), USRCH-FND-008 (W-RRF), USRCH-FND-009 (endpoint), USRCH-FND-010 (deterministic synthesis), USRCH-FND-011 (alias service).
+- Required dependency references:
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/**` (core, unified search modules from Phase 1)
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService/**` (endpoints)
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Chat/**` (ChatPromptAssembler, GroundingValidator, inference clients, quota service)
+  - `src/Graph/StellaOps.Graph.Api/**` (graph search contracts, node models)
+  - `src/OpsMemory/StellaOps.OpsMemory/**` (decision models, similarity)
+  - `src/Timeline/StellaOps.Timeline/**` or `src/TimelineIndexer/**` (timeline event models)
+  - `src/Scanner/StellaOps.Scanner/**` (scan result models)
+- Explicit cross-module reads:
+  - `src/Graph/**` for graph node and edge models.
+  - `src/OpsMemory/**` for decision and playbook models.
+  - `src/TimelineIndexer/**` for audit event models.
+  - `src/Scanner/**` for scan result models.
+- Safe parallelism notes:
+  - Ingestion adapters (USRCH-FED-001 through 004) can all proceed in parallel.
+  - Federated dispatcher (005) can proceed in parallel with adapters.
+  - Entity resolution (006) depends on adapters being functional for test data.
+  - Gravity boost (007) and ambient context (008) can proceed in parallel.
+  - LLM synthesis (009-013) can proceed in parallel with federation work once the entity card model is frozen.

+### USRCH-FED-001 - Graph Node Ingestion Adapter
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 1 USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `GraphNodeIngestionAdapter : ISearchIngestionAdapter` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Adapters/GraphNodeIngestionAdapter.cs`.
+- The adapter reads from the Graph service's node repository and projects significant nodes (packages, images, base images, registries) into `UniversalChunk`s:
+  - `ChunkId`: `graph:{tenantId}:{nodeId}:{contentHash}`
+  - `Kind`: `graph_node`
+  - `Domain`: `graph`
+  - `Title`: `"{nodeKind}: {nodeName}" (e.g., "package: lodash@4.17.21", "image: registry.io/app:v1.2")`
+  - `Body`: Structured text combining: node kind, name, version, attributes (registry, tag, digest, layer count, OS, arch), direct dependency count, vulnerability summary (if overlay present), and key relationships (depends-on, contained-in).
+  - `EntityKey`: Derived from node kind: packages → `purl:{purl}`, images → `image:{imageRef}`, registries → `registry:{registryUrl}`.
+  - `EntityType`: `package`, `image`, `registry` (mapped from graph node `Kind`).
+  - `Metadata`: JSON with graph-specific attributes, dependency count, overlay data.
+  - `OpenAction`: `{ Kind: Graph, Route: "/ops/graph?node={nodeId}", NodeId, NodeKind }`
+  - `Freshness`: graph snapshot timestamp.
+- Ingestion strategy: **batch on graph snapshot**. When a new graph snapshot is committed, the adapter re-projects all significant nodes (filter out ephemeral/internal nodes to keep index size manageable).
+- Define "significant node" filter: nodes with `kind` in `[package, image, base_image, registry]` and at least one attribute or edge. Configurable via `UnifiedSearchOptions.GraphNodeKindFilter`.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Adapter projects package and image nodes into valid `UniversalChunk`s.
+- [ ] Body text supports FTS for package names, versions, image references, registries.
+- [ ] Entity keys align with finding and VEX adapters (same CVE/PURL/image → same entity_key).
+- [ ] Node kind filter is configurable and prevents index bloat from ephemeral nodes.
+- [ ] Batch ingestion handles full snapshot replacement (delete old graph chunks, insert new).

+### USRCH-FED-002 - OpsMemory Decision Ingestion Adapter
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 1 USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `OpsDecisionIngestionAdapter : ISearchIngestionAdapter` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Adapters/OpsDecisionIngestionAdapter.cs`.
+- Project each OpsMemory decision into a `UniversalChunk`:
+  - `ChunkId`: `decision:{tenantId}:{decisionId}:{contentHash}`
+  - `Kind`: `ops_decision`
+  - `Domain`: `opsmemory`
+  - `Title`: `"Decision: {decisionType} for {subjectRef} ({outcome})"`
+  - `Body`: Structured text: decision type (waive, accept, remediate, escalate, defer), subject reference (CVE/package/image), rationale text, outcome status (success/failure/pending), resolution time, context tags (production/development/staging), severity at time of decision, similarity matching factors.
+  - `EntityKey`: Derived from subject: if CVE → `cve:{cveId}`, if package → `purl:{purl}`, if image → `image:{imageRef}`.
+  - `EntityType`: inherited from subject entity type.
+  - `Metadata`: JSON with `decisionType`, `outcomeStatus`, `resolutionTimeHours`, `contextTags[]`, `severity`, `similarityVector` (the 50-dim vector as array for optional faceted display).
+  - `OpenAction`: `{ Kind: Decision, Route: "/ops/opsmemory/decisions/{decisionId}", DecisionId }`
+  - `Freshness`: decision's `recordedAt` or `outcomeRecordedAt` (whichever is later).
+- Incremental path: index on decision create and outcome record events.
+- Preserve the structured 50-dim similarity vector in metadata for optional re-use in the synthesis tier (e.g., "similar past decisions" context).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Adapter projects decisions with all outcome statuses into valid `UniversalChunk`s.
+- [ ] Body text supports FTS for decision types ("waive", "remediate"), subject references, and context tags.
+- [ ] Entity keys align with finding/VEX adapters for the same CVE/package.
+- [ ] Similarity vector preserved in metadata for optional downstream use.
+- [ ] Incremental path handles decision create and outcome record events.
+
+### USRCH-FED-003 - Timeline Event Ingestion Adapter
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 1 USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `TimelineEventIngestionAdapter : ISearchIngestionAdapter` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Adapters/TimelineEventIngestionAdapter.cs`.
+- Project audit/timeline events into `UniversalChunk`s:
+  - `ChunkId`: `event:{tenantId}:{eventId}:{contentHash}`
+  - `Kind`: `audit_event`
+  - `Domain`: `timeline`
+  - `Title`: `"{action} by {actorName} on {moduleName}" (e.g., "policy.evaluate by admin@acme on Policy")`
+  - `Body`: Structured text: action name, actor (name, role), module, target entity reference, timestamp, summary/description, key payload fields (e.g., "verdict: pass", "severity changed: high → critical").
+  - `EntityKey`: Derived from target entity if identifiable, otherwise null.
+  - `EntityType`: Derived from target entity type if identifiable, otherwise `event`.
+  - `Metadata`: JSON with `action`, `actor`, `module`, `targetRef`, `timestamp`, `payloadSummary`.
+  - `OpenAction`: `{ Kind: Event, Route: "/ops/audit/events/{eventId}", EventId }`
+  - `Freshness`: event timestamp.
+- Ingestion strategy: **event-driven append**. Timeline events are append-only; no updates or deletes.
+- Volume management: only index events from the last N days (configurable, default 90 days) to prevent unbounded index growth. Older events are pruned from the search index (not from the timeline store).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Adapter projects audit events into valid `UniversalChunk`s.
+- [ ] Body text supports FTS for actor names, action types, module names, entity references.
+- [ ] Entity key extraction works for events targeting known entity types (CVEs, packages, policies).
+- [ ] Volume management prunes events older than configured retention period.
+- [ ] Append-only ingestion handles high-volume event streams without blocking.
+
+### USRCH-FED-004 - Scan Result Ingestion Adapter
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 1 USRCH-FND-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `ScanResultIngestionAdapter : ISearchIngestionAdapter` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Adapters/ScanResultIngestionAdapter.cs`.
+- Project scan results into `UniversalChunk`s:
+  - `ChunkId`: `scan:{tenantId}:{scanId}:{contentHash}`
+  - `Kind`: `scan_result`
+  - `Domain`: `scanner`
+  - `Title`: `"Scan {scanId}: {imageRef} ({findingCount} findings, {criticalCount} critical)"`
+  - `Body`: Structured text: scan ID, image reference, scan type (vulnerability/compliance/license), status (complete/failed/in-progress), finding counts by severity, scanner version, duration, key policy verdicts.
+  - `EntityKey`: `scan:{scanId}` (primary), also link to `image:{imageRef}` via entity alias.
+  - `EntityType`: `scan`
+  - `Metadata`: JSON with `imageRef`, `scanType`, `status`, `findingCounts`, `policyVerdicts`, `duration`, `completedAt`.
+  - `OpenAction`: `{ Kind: Scan, Route: "/console/scans/{scanId}", ScanId }`
+  - `Freshness`: scan's `completedAt` timestamp.
+- Incremental path: index on scan complete events.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Adapter projects scan results into valid `UniversalChunk`s.
+- [ ] Body text supports FTS for scan IDs, image references, severity keywords.
+- [ ] Entity aliases link scan to its target image.
+- [ ] Incremental path handles scan complete events.
+- [ ] Tenant isolation enforced.
+
+### USRCH-FED-005 - Federated Query Dispatcher
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 1 USRCH-FND-009
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `FederatedSearchDispatcher` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Federation/FederatedSearchDispatcher.cs`.
+- The dispatcher executes queries against multiple backends **in parallel** and merges results into the unified pipeline:
+  1. **Universal index query** (always): FTS + vector search against `kb_chunk` (the primary path from Phase 1).
+  2. **Console API query** (optional, for live finding data): HTTP call to Console's search endpoint when `findings` domain is in the query plan with elevated weight. Returns fresh finding data that may not yet be indexed.
+  3. **Graph API query** (optional, for live topology): HTTP call to Graph's search endpoint when `graph` domain is elevated. Returns real-time node data.
+  4. **Timeline API query** (optional, for recent events): HTTP call to Timeline's search endpoint when `timeline` domain is elevated and query appears to reference recent activity.
+- Implement timeout budget: total query budget (default 500ms). Each federated backend gets a proportional timeout. If a backend times out, results from other backends are returned with a diagnostic note.
+- Implement `FederatedResultMerger` that normalizes results from different backends into `UniversalChunk` format before passing to the W-RRF fusion engine:
+  - Console results → `UniversalChunk` with kind=`finding`, domain=`findings`.
+  - Graph results → `UniversalChunk` with kind=`graph_node`, domain=`graph`.
+  - Timeline results → `UniversalChunk` with kind=`audit_event`, domain=`timeline`.
+  - Universal index results → already in `UniversalChunk` format.
+- Deduplication: if a federated result matches a chunk already in the universal index (same `entity_key` + `domain`), prefer the fresher version.
+- Configuration via `UnifiedSearchOptions.Federation`:
+  - `Enabled` (bool, default true)
+  - `ConsoleEndpoint`, `GraphEndpoint`, `TimelineEndpoint` (URLs)
+  - `TimeoutBudgetMs` (default 500)
+  - `MaxFederatedResults` (default 50 per backend)
+  - `FederationThreshold` (minimum domain weight to trigger federated query, default 1.2)
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Dispatcher queries universal index and relevant federated backends in parallel.
+- [ ] Federated results are correctly normalized to `UniversalChunk` format.
+- [ ] Timeout budget prevents slow backends from blocking the response.
+- [ ] Deduplication prefers fresher data when both index and federated backend return the same entity.
+- [ ] Diagnostics include per-backend latency and result counts.
+- [ ] Federation is gracefully disabled when backend endpoints are not configured.
+- [ ] Integration test verifies parallel dispatch with mock backends.
+
+### USRCH-FED-006 - Entity Resolution and Card Assembly
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: USRCH-FED-005, Phase 1 USRCH-FND-011
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `EntityCardAssembler` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Cards/EntityCardAssembler.cs`.
+- Takes W-RRF-scored `UniversalChunk` results and groups them into `EntityCard`s:
+  1. **Sort** all results by fused score descending.
+  2. **Group by entity_key**: for each result with a non-null `entity_key`, merge into an existing card or create a new one. Use `EntityAliasService` to resolve aliases before grouping (e.g., `GHSA-xxxx` and `CVE-2025-1234` merge into the same card).
+  3. **Standalone results**: results without `entity_key` (e.g., generic doc sections, doctor checks not tied to a specific entity) become their own single-facet card.
+  4. **Facet assembly**: within each card, organize results by domain. Each domain's results become a `Facet` with title, snippet, score, metadata, and open action.
+  5. **Card scoring**: `aggregateScore = max(facet scores) + 0.1 * log(facetCount)` — slightly boost cards with more diverse facets.
+  6. **Connection discovery**: for cards with entity keys, query `entity_alias` table to find related entity keys. Populate `connections` field with up to 5 related entities.
+  7. **Action resolution**: determine `primaryAction` (highest-scored facet's open action) and `secondaryActions` (remaining facets' actions + contextual actions based on entity type).
+  8. **Synthesis hints**: extract key metadata fields from facets into a flat `Map<string, string>` for use by deterministic synthesis templates.
+- Final card ordering: by `aggregateScore` descending, then `entityType`, then `entityKey`.
+- Limit: max 20 cards per response (configurable).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Entity grouping correctly merges chunks with matching entity keys.
+- [ ] Alias resolution merges GHSA/CVE/vendor IDs into single cards.
+- [ ] Cards have diverse facets from multiple domains when data exists.
+- [ ] Standalone results (no entity key) appear as individual cards.
+- [ ] Card scoring gives slight preference to cards with more facets.
+- [ ] Primary and secondary actions are correctly resolved per entity type.
+- [ ] Synthesis hints contain all key metadata fields for template rendering.
+- [ ] Card limit is enforced.
+- [ ] Unit tests verify grouping for: single-domain entity, multi-domain entity, alias-resolved entity, standalone result.
+
+### USRCH-FED-007 - Graph-Aware Gravity Boost
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: USRCH-FED-001, USRCH-FED-006
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `GravityBoostCalculator` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Ranking/GravityBoostCalculator.cs`.
+- The gravity boost elevates search results that are **connected via graph edges** to entities explicitly mentioned in the query, even if the result text doesn't directly match the query:
+  - When the query mentions `CVE-2025-1234`, and the graph shows `CVE-2025-1234 → affects → libxml2 → contained-in → registry.io/app:v1.2`, then both `libxml2` and `registry.io/app:v1.2` get a gravity boost despite not being mentioned in the query.
+- Implementation:
+  1. For each `EntityMention` in the `QueryPlan`, resolve to `entity_key`.
+  2. Query the graph service for 1-hop neighbors of each resolved entity key (bounded to max 20 neighbors per entity, max 50 total).
+  3. Build a `gravityMap: Map<string entityKey, float boost>`:
+     - Direct mention in query: boost = 0 (already handled by entity proximity boost in W-RRF).
+     - 1-hop neighbor: boost = +0.30.
+     - 2-hop neighbor (optional, disabled by default): boost = +0.10.
+  4. Apply gravity boost additively during W-RRF fusion.
+- Performance constraint: graph neighbor lookup must complete within 100ms timeout. If it times out, skip gravity boost and log diagnostic.
+- Configuration via `UnifiedSearchOptions.GravityBoost`:
+  - `Enabled` (bool, default true)
+  - `OneHopBoost` (float, default 0.30)
+  - `TwoHopBoost` (float, default 0.10)
+  - `MaxNeighborsPerEntity` (int, default 20)
+  - `MaxTotalNeighbors` (int, default 50)
+  - `TimeoutMs` (int, default 100)
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Gravity boost correctly elevates 1-hop neighbors of query-mentioned entities.
+- [ ] Boost values are configurable.
+- [ ] Timeout prevents graph lookup from blocking search.
+- [ ] Gravity map is empty (no boost) when no entities are detected in query.
+- [ ] Integration test: query "CVE-2025-1234" → packages/images affected by that CVE get boosted.
+
+### USRCH-FED-008 - Ambient Context Model
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 1 USRCH-FND-003
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `AmbientContextProcessor` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Context/AmbientContextProcessor.cs`.
+- The ambient context model captures client-side context and uses it to soft-boost relevant results:
+  - **Current route**: The UI page the user is on. Maps to a domain: `/console/findings/*` → findings, `/ops/policies/*` → policy, `/ops/graph/*` → graph, `/vex-hub/*` → vex, `/ops/audit/*` → timeline, `/ops/doctor/*` → doctor, `/docs/*` → knowledge.
+  - **Current entity IDs**: Entities visible on the current page (e.g., finding IDs displayed in a list, the CVE being viewed in detail). These get a direct entity proximity boost.
+  - **Recent searches**: Last 5 queries from the session. Used for implicit query expansion -- if the user previously searched for "CVE-2025-1234" and now searches "mitigation", the context carries forward the CVE entity.
+- Boost application:
+  - Route domain match: +0.10 to the matched domain's weight in `QueryPlan.DomainWeights`.
+  - Current entity ID match: +0.20 to any result whose `entity_key` matches a visible entity.
+  - Recent search entity carry-forward: if a detected entity from a recent search is not present in the current query but the current query looks like a follow-up (informational intent, no new entity mentions), add the recent entity's `entity_key` to the gravity boost map with boost +0.15.
+- The `AmbientContext` is passed in the search request from the frontend and is optional (graceful no-op if absent).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Route-to-domain mapping correctly identifies domain from common UI routes.
+- [ ] Domain weight boost is applied when ambient context provides current route.
+- [ ] Entity ID boost elevates results matching visible entities.
+- [ ] Recent search carry-forward adds context for follow-up queries.
+- [ ] Absent ambient context produces no boost (graceful no-op).
+- [ ] Unit tests verify boost application for each context signal.

+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement `SearchSynthesisService` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Synthesis/SearchSynthesisService.cs`.
+- This service orchestrates the two-tier synthesis pipeline:
+  1. **Tier 1 (Deterministic)**: Always runs. Uses `DeterministicSynthesizer` from Phase 1 to produce a structured summary from entity card metadata. Returns immediately (< 50ms).
+  2. **Tier 2 (LLM)**: Runs on-demand when requested and LLM is available. Uses existing AdvisoryAI chat infrastructure to generate a deep, cited analysis.
+- LLM synthesis pipeline:
+  1. Check LLM availability via `ILlmProviderFactory.GetAvailableAsync()`.
+  2. Check quota via `AdvisoryChatQuotaService`.
+  3. Assemble prompt using a new `SearchSynthesisPromptAssembler` (reusing patterns from `ChatPromptAssembler`):
+     - System prompt: search-specific instructions (cite sources, suggest actions, stay grounded).
+     - Context section: query, intent, detected entities.
+     - Evidence section: top-K entity cards serialized as structured text with `[domain:route]` links.
+     - Deterministic summary: included as reference for the LLM to build upon.
+     - Grounding rules: citation requirements, action proposal format.
+  4. Stream inference via `ILlmProvider.CompleteStreamAsync()`.
+  5. Validate grounding via `GroundingValidator` on the complete response.
+  6. Extract action suggestions from the response.
+- Output: `SynthesisResult { DeterministicSummary, LlmAnalysis?, GroundingScore?, Actions[], SourceRefs[], Diagnostics }`.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Deterministic tier always produces a summary regardless of LLM availability.
+- [ ] LLM tier correctly assembles prompt from entity cards.
+- [ ] LLM tier respects quota limits and returns graceful denial when quota exceeded.
+- [ ] Grounding validation runs on LLM output and score is reported.
+- [ ] Action suggestions are extracted and formatted with deep links.

+- Prompt must be version-tracked (increment version string when prompt changes) for reproducibility.
+- Token budget management: estimate entity card token cost, trim lower-scored cards if total exceeds `MaxContextTokens` (default 4000).
+- The system prompt should be loadable from an external file for operator customization.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Prompt assembler produces well-structured prompts for various query types (CVE lookup, doc search, mixed results).
+- [ ] Token budget management correctly trims lower-scored cards when context is too large.
+- [ ] Prompt version is tracked and incremented on changes.
+- [ ] System prompt is loadable from external file.
+- [ ] Unit tests verify prompt structure for 5+ archetypal queries.

+Status: TODO
+Dependency: USRCH-FED-009, USRCH-FED-010
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement SSE endpoint `POST /v1/search/synthesize` in `UnifiedSearchEndpoints.cs`.
+- Request contract:
+  ```csharp
+  record SynthesizeRequest(
+      string Q,                              // original query
+      EntityCard[] TopCards,                  // entity cards from search response

+      SynthesisPreferences? Preferences      // depth (brief/detailed), maxTokens, includeActions
+  );
+  ```
+- Response: Server-Sent Events (SSE) stream with typed events:
+  - `event: synthesis_start` → `{ tier: "deterministic", summary: string }`
+  - `event: llm_status` → `{ status: "starting" | "streaming" | "validating" | "complete" | "unavailable" | "quota_exceeded" }`
+  - `event: llm_chunk` → `{ content: string, isComplete: bool }`
+  - `event: actions` → `{ actions: ActionSuggestion[] }` (emitted after LLM response is validated)
+  - `event: grounding` → `{ score: float, citations: int, ungrounded: int, issues: string[] }`
+  - `event: synthesis_end` → `{ totalTokens: int, durationMs: long, provider: string, promptVersion: string }`
+  - `event: error` → `{ code: string, message: string }` (for LLM failures)
+- Processing pipeline:
+  1. Immediately emit `synthesis_start` with deterministic summary.
+  2. Check LLM availability; if unavailable, emit `llm_status: unavailable` and `synthesis_end`.
+  3. Check quota; if exceeded, emit `llm_status: quota_exceeded` and `synthesis_end`.
+  4. Assemble prompt and begin streaming inference.
+  5. Forward `llm_chunk` events as they arrive.
+  6. On completion, validate grounding and emit `grounding` event.
+  7. Extract actions and emit `actions` event.
+  8. Emit `synthesis_end` with diagnostics.
+- Authorization: require `search:synthesize` scope (new scope, superset of `search:read`).
+- Error handling: if LLM inference fails mid-stream, emit `error` event and `synthesis_end`. The deterministic summary already emitted ensures the user has useful information.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Endpoint streams SSE events in correct order.
+- [ ] Deterministic summary is always emitted first, regardless of LLM availability.
+- [ ] LLM chunks stream in real-time as they arrive from the provider.
+- [ ] Grounding validation runs and score is reported.
+- [ ] Action suggestions are emitted after LLM response.
+- [ ] Quota enforcement prevents unauthorized LLM usage.
+- [ ] Error handling provides graceful degradation.
+- [ ] Integration test verifies full SSE event sequence with mock LLM provider.

+Status: TODO
+Dependency: USRCH-FED-011
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Integrate synthesis endpoint with existing `AdvisoryChatQuotaService`:
+  - Search synthesis requests count toward the same daily quota as chat queries.
+  - Add a new quota dimension: `synthesisRequestsPerDay` (default: 200, separate from chat but sharing token pool).
+  - Track synthesis token usage in the same `{TenantId}:{UserId}` quota bucket.
+- Implement audit logging for synthesis requests:
+  - Log each synthesis request: query, entity card count, intent, provider used, tokens consumed, grounding score, duration.
+  - Reuse existing `advisoryai.chat_sessions` table pattern or create a new `advisoryai.search_synthesis_audit` table if schema separation is cleaner.
+  - Include prompt version in audit record for reproducibility.
+- Add rate limiting: max 10 concurrent synthesis requests per tenant (configurable).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Synthesis requests are correctly counted against quota.
+- [ ] Token usage is tracked per synthesis request.
+- [ ] Audit records are written for every synthesis request.
+- [ ] Rate limiting prevents concurrent overload.
+- [ ] Quota denial returns appropriate SSE event.

+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] All unified search features are configurable via `UnifiedSearchOptions`.

+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-23 | Sprint created from unified smart search architecture design. Covers Phase 2: federated search, entity cards, graph gravity, ambient context, and LLM synthesis tier. | Planning |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: federate to live backends rather than relying solely on the universal index. Rationale: ensures freshness for rapidly-changing data (findings, graph topology). Risk: federation adds latency and complexity; mitigation via timeout budget and domain-weight threshold gating.
+- Decision: reuse existing AdvisoryAI chat infrastructure (prompt assembler, grounding validator, inference clients, quota service) for synthesis. Rationale: avoids duplicating LLM infrastructure. Risk: search synthesis prompts may need different grounding rules than chat; mitigation via separate prompt assembler class.
+- Decision: batch ingestion for graph nodes (on snapshot) rather than incremental. Rationale: graph snapshots are atomic; incremental graph updates are complex. Risk: graph data may be stale between snapshots; mitigation via federated live query to Graph API.
+- Risk: gravity boost graph lookup could add significant latency for queries with many entity mentions. Mitigation: 100ms timeout, max 50 total neighbors, configurable disable.
+- Risk: ambient context could introduce personalization bias that makes search non-deterministic. Mitigation: ambient boost values are small (+0.10 to +0.20), configurable, and always additive (never removes results).
+- Risk: LLM synthesis prompt could exceed context window for queries with many entity cards. Mitigation: token budget management trims lower-scored cards.
+- Companion sprint for Phase 3 (frontend): `SPRINT_20260223_099_FE_unified_search_bar_entity_cards_synthesis_panel.md`.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- 2026-02-28: Phase 1 foundation complete (dependency).
+- 2026-03-01: All ingestion adapters complete (USRCH-FED-001 through 004).

+# Sprint 20260223_100 - Unified Smart Search: Quality, Analytics, Performance, and Deprecation
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Establish a ranking quality program with precision/recall benchmarks for the unified search across all domains, ensuring the weighted RRF fusion and entity card assembly produce consistently excellent results.
+- Implement search analytics to track usage patterns, click-through rates, synthesis adoption, and identify improvement opportunities.
+- Optimize performance to meet latency targets (< 200ms for instant results, < 500ms for full results, < 5s for synthesis) and define capacity envelope.
+- Harden security: tenant isolation verification, query sanitization, and redaction for the universal index.
+- Deprecate the `PlatformSearchService` by migrating its catalog items into the universal index.
+- Implement search sessions to carry context between sequential queries for conversational search behavior.
+- Produce operational runbooks and release-readiness package for the unified search system.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Expected evidence: benchmark reports, analytics dashboards, performance profiles, security tests, migration scripts, runbooks.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency

+
+### USRCH-POL-001 - Unified Search Ranking Quality Benchmarks
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 2 complete
+Owners: Test Automation / Developer
+Task description:
+- Build a ranking quality program for the unified search system that evaluates precision and recall across all domains and query archetypes.
+- Define a ground-truth evaluation corpus of 200+ query-result pairs organized by archetype:
+  - **CVE lookup** (30+ queries): "CVE-2025-1234", "critical vulnerabilities in libxml2", "reachable CVEs in production".
+  - **Package/image search** (30+ queries): "lodash vulnerabilities", "pkg:npm/express", "images with critical findings".
+  - **Documentation search** (30+ queries): "how to deploy air-gap", "policy configuration guide", "scanner setup".
+  - **Doctor/diagnostic** (20+ queries): "disk full error", "health check failed", "DR-0042".
+  - **Policy search** (20+ queries): "CVSS threshold gate", "signature required policy", "production enforcement".
+  - **Audit/timeline** (20+ queries): "who approved waiver", "policy changes last week", "scan events for app:v1.2".
+  - **Cross-domain** (30+ queries): "CVE-2025-1234 mitigation options" (should surface findings + docs + past decisions), "libxml2 in production" (should surface graph + findings + scans).
+  - **Conversational follow-up** (20+ queries): query pairs where second query builds on first.
+- Each query has labeled expected results with relevance grades (0=irrelevant, 1=marginally relevant, 2=relevant, 3=highly relevant).
+- Metrics computed:
+  - **Precision@K** (K=1, 3, 5, 10) per archetype.
+  - **Recall@K** per archetype.
+  - **NDCG@10** (Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain) per archetype.
+  - **Entity card accuracy**: % of queries where the top entity card is the correct primary entity.
+  - **Cross-domain recall**: % of queries where results include facets from 2+ domains (when expected).
+  - **Ranking stability hash**: deterministic fingerprint of result ordering for regression detection.
+- Quality gates (minimum thresholds):
+  - P@1 >= 0.80 (top result is relevant 80% of the time).
+  - NDCG@10 >= 0.70.
+  - Entity card accuracy >= 0.85.
+  - Cross-domain recall >= 0.60 for cross-domain query archetype.
+- Benchmark runner: CLI command `stella advisoryai benchmark run --corpus <path> --output <report-path>`.
+- CI integration: fast subset (50 queries) runs on every PR; full suite runs nightly.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Evaluation corpus of 200+ query-result pairs exists with relevance grades.
+- [ ] Benchmark runner computes all metrics and outputs structured report.
+- [ ] Quality gates are defined and enforced (fail if below threshold).
+- [ ] Ranking stability hash detects ordering changes between runs.
+- [ ] CI integration runs fast subset on PR, full suite nightly.
+- [ ] Current baseline metrics are established and documented.
+
+### USRCH-POL-002 - Domain Weight Tuning and Boost Calibration
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: USRCH-POL-001
+Owners: Developer / Test Automation
+Task description:
+- Using the benchmark corpus from USRCH-POL-001, empirically tune the domain weight parameters and boost values for optimal ranking quality:
+  - **Base domain weights**: starting values (all 1.0), adjust per archetype performance.
+  - **Entity boost values**: CVE detection → findings +X, vex +Y, graph +Z. Find optimal X, Y, Z.
+  - **Intent keyword boost values**: per-keyword weights for each domain.
+  - **Ambient context boost values**: route match +A, entity ID match +B.
+  - **Gravity boost values**: 1-hop +C, 2-hop +D.
+  - **Freshness decay**: decay period in days, max boost value.
+  - **Entity proximity boost**: direct match +E, alias match +F.
+- Tuning methodology:
+  - Grid search over discrete parameter combinations.
+  - Evaluate each combination against the benchmark corpus.
+  - Select the parameter set that maximizes NDCG@10 while maintaining P@1 >= 0.80.
+  - Validate stability: run 3x with different random seeds to ensure determinism.
+- Document optimal parameters and their rationale.
+- Update `UnifiedSearchOptions` default values with tuned parameters.
+- Record tuning results in a reproducible report format.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Grid search covers meaningful parameter ranges for all boost values.
+- [ ] Optimal parameter set achieves quality gates from USRCH-POL-001.
+- [ ] Parameters are deterministic (stable across runs).
+- [ ] Tuning report documents methodology, results, and rationale.
+- [ ] `UnifiedSearchOptions` defaults updated with tuned values.
+- [ ] Before/after comparison shows measurable improvement over baseline.
+
+### USRCH-POL-003 - Search Analytics and Usage Tracking
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: Phase 2 complete
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement search analytics collection in the unified search endpoint:
+  - **Query analytics**: For each search request, record: query text (hashed for privacy), intent classification, detected entity types, domain weights applied, result count, entity card count, top result types, latency breakdown (FTS/vector/federation/fusion/total), timestamp, tenant ID.
+  - **Click-through tracking**: When the frontend navigates to a search result action, record: query hash, clicked card entity key, clicked action kind, card rank position, facet domain clicked, timestamp.
+  - **Synthesis analytics**: For each synthesis request, record: query hash, tier used (deterministic-only / LLM), LLM provider, tokens consumed, grounding score, action count suggested, duration, user engaged (scrolled/clicked action), timestamp.
+- Storage: new table `advisoryai.search_analytics` with JSONB payload column for flexible schema evolution. Partition by month for efficient retention management.
+- Aggregation queries:
+  - Popular query patterns (by intent, by entity type, by domain).
+  - Click-through rate per entity card position.
+  - Synthesis adoption rate (% of searches that trigger synthesis).
+  - Mean grounding score over time.
+  - P95 latency percentiles over time.
+  - Zero-result query rate.
+- Privacy: query text is hashed (SHA-256); no PII stored. Configurable opt-out per tenant.
+- Retention: configurable, default 90 days.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Query analytics recorded for every unified search request.
+- [ ] Click-through events recorded when user navigates from search results.
+- [ ] Event taxonomy is consistent across analytics writes and metrics reads (`query`, `click`, `zero_result`) with no stale `search` event dependency.
+- [ ] Synthesis analytics recorded for every synthesis request.
+- [ ] Aggregation queries produce meaningful reports.
+- [ ] Privacy: no raw query text or PII stored in analytics.
+- [ ] Retention policy enforced with automatic pruning.
+- [ ] Analytics collection adds < 5ms overhead to search latency.
+
+### USRCH-POL-004 - Performance Optimization and Capacity Envelope
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 2 complete
+Owners: Developer / Test Automation
+Task description:
+- Define and enforce performance targets for unified search:
+  - **Instant results** (Phase 1 typing): P50 < 100ms, P95 < 200ms, P99 < 300ms.
+  - **Full results with federation**: P50 < 200ms, P95 < 500ms, P99 < 800ms.
+  - **Synthesis (deterministic tier only)**: P50 < 30ms, P95 < 50ms.
+  - **Synthesis (LLM tier)**: time-to-first-token P50 < 1s, total P50 < 3s, P95 < 5s.
+  - **Index rebuild (full)**: < 5 minutes for 100K chunks.
+  - **Incremental ingestion**: < 100ms per event.
+- Performance optimization areas:
+  - **Connection pooling**: ensure DB connection pooling is tuned for concurrent search + ingestion.
+  - **Query optimization**: analyze and optimize FTS + vector SQL queries with `EXPLAIN ANALYZE`. Add covering indexes if needed.
+  - **Federation timeout tuning**: adjust per-backend timeout based on measured latency.
+  - **Entity card assembly**: profile and optimize grouping/sorting for large result sets.
+  - **W-RRF fusion**: optimize the fusion loop for minimal allocations.
+  - **Caching**: consider in-memory cache for entity alias lookups (already has TTL cache from Phase 1), gravity boost neighbor sets (cache per entity key with TTL).
+- Load testing:
+  - Concurrent search load: 50 concurrent searches against unified endpoint, measure latency distribution.
+  - Concurrent ingestion: simulate high-volume finding/event ingestion while searching.
+  - Index size impact: measure latency with 10K, 50K, 100K, 500K chunks.
+- Document capacity envelope: maximum chunk count, concurrent queries, and ingestion rate supported within latency targets.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Performance targets are defined and documented.
+- [ ] Latency benchmarks run in CI (quick subset on PR, full on nightly).
+- [ ] SQL queries are optimized with `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` evidence.
+- [ ] Load test results show sustained performance under 50 concurrent searches.
+- [ ] Capacity envelope is documented with recommended hardware specs.
+- [ ] No latency regression > 10% from Phase 1 baseline after all Phase 2-3 additions.
+
+### USRCH-POL-005 - Security Hardening: Tenant Isolation, Sanitization, and Redaction
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: Phase 2 complete
+Owners: Developer / Security reviewer
+Task description:
+- Verify and harden tenant isolation in the universal search index:
+  - All search queries must include tenant filter. Add a defensive check that rejects queries without tenant context.
+  - Verify that incremental ingestion from one tenant cannot inject chunks visible to another tenant.
+  - Verify that entity alias resolution is tenant-scoped (or that aliases are global but results are tenant-filtered).
+  - Verify that federated queries pass tenant context to all backend services.
+- Query sanitization:
+  - Validate query length (max 512 chars), reject queries exceeding limit.
+  - Validate filter values (domain names, severity values) against allowlists.
+  - Sanitize snippet rendering to prevent XSS in `<mark>` tags or metadata values.
+  - Rate-limit search requests per tenant (configurable, default 100/min).
+- Redaction:
+  - Ensure search analytics do not store raw query text (hashed only).
+  - Ensure synthesis audit logs do not store full LLM prompts (store prompt hash + metadata only).
+  - Ensure error messages do not leak internal schema or query details.
+- Threat model update:
+  - Document attack vectors specific to unified search (cross-tenant data leakage via entity aliases, prompt injection via indexed content, denial-of-service via expensive queries).
+  - Document mitigations for each vector.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Tenant isolation verified: cross-tenant search returns zero results.
+- [ ] Incremental ingestion tenant isolation verified.
+- [x] Query length and filter validation enforced.
+- [ ] Snippet rendering is XSS-safe.
+- [x] Rate limiting is enforced per tenant.
+- [ ] Analytics and audit logs contain no raw query text or PII.
+- [ ] Threat model documented with mitigations.
+
+### USRCH-POL-006 - Platform Search Deprecation and Migration
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: Phase 1 USRCH-FND-007 (incremental indexing)
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Migrate `PlatformSearchService` catalog items into the universal search index:
+  - The existing `PlatformSearchService` has a hardcoded catalog of 5 items (scan, policy, finding, pack, tenant). These represent platform-level resource types, not individual instances.
+  - Create `PlatformCatalogIngestionAdapter : ISearchIngestionAdapter` that projects these catalog items as `platform_entity` chunks in the universal index.
+  - Each platform catalog item becomes a chunk with `kind: platform_entity`, `domain: platform`.
+  - These chunks serve as "type landing pages" — searching for "scans" should surface the scan catalog entry which links to the scans list page.
+- Update consumers:
+  - If `GET /api/v1/platform/search` has any remaining consumers, redirect them to the unified search endpoint. Add a deprecation header (`Deprecation: true`, `Sunset: <date>`).
+  - Update any frontend components that call the platform search endpoint to use the unified search client instead.
+- Deprecation timeline:
+  - Phase 4 start: add deprecation headers to platform search endpoint.
+  - Phase 4 + 30 days: remove platform search endpoint and `PlatformSearchService`.
+- Document migration in changelog.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Platform catalog items are indexed in the universal search index.
+- [x] Platform search endpoint returns deprecation headers.
+- [ ] All frontend consumers migrated to unified search.
+- [ ] Unified search surfaces platform catalog items for relevant queries.
+- [ ] Unified-search client fallback to legacy search surfaces an explicit degraded-mode indicator in UI.
+- [ ] Deprecation timeline documented in changelog.
+
+### USRCH-POL-007 - Search Sessions and Conversational Context
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: Phase 3 USRCH-UI-007 (ambient context service)
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Implement search sessions that carry context between sequential queries, enabling conversational search without LLM:
+  - **Session model**: `SearchSession { SessionId, TenantId, UserId, Queries[], DetectedEntities[], CreatedAt, LastActiveAt }`.
+  - A session is created on the first search query and maintained for 5 minutes of inactivity (configurable).
+  - Each query appends to the session's query history and detected entity set.
+  - **Contextual query expansion**: when a query has no detected entities but the session has previously detected entities (from earlier queries), carry forward those entities as implicit context:
+    - Example: Query 1: "CVE-2025-1234" → detects CVE entity, returns findings/VEX/docs.
+    - Query 2: "mitigation" → no entities detected, but session has CVE-2025-1234 → add `cve:CVE-2025-1234` to gravity boost map with boost +0.15 → mitigation results for that CVE are boosted.
+  - **Session entity accumulation**: entities from all queries in the session are accumulated (with decay — older entities get lower boost than recent ones).
+  - **Session reset**: explicit "new search" action (Ctrl+Shift+K or clicking the search icon when search is open) clears the session.
+- Backend: store sessions in memory (not DB — ephemeral, per-instance). For multi-instance deployments, sessions are sticky to the instance via client-side session ID.
+- Frontend: `AmbientContextService` includes session ID in search requests. Session ID stored in `sessionStorage`.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Session maintains entity context across sequential queries.
+- [ ] Contextual query expansion correctly boosts results related to previously searched entities.
+- [ ] Entity decay reduces influence of older session entities.
+- [ ] Session expires after 5 minutes of inactivity.

+Status: TODO
+Dependency: USRCH-POL-001, USRCH-POL-004, USRCH-POL-005
+Owners: Documentation author / Developer
+Task description:
+- Create/update the following documentation:
+  - **Architecture doc**: `docs/modules/advisory-ai/unified-search-architecture.md` — comprehensive architecture document covering all 4 layers (query understanding, federated search, fusion, synthesis), data model, ingestion pipeline, and configuration.
+  - **Operator runbook**: `docs/operations/unified-search-operations.md` — operational guide covering:
+    - Initial setup: database migration, index rebuild, configuration.

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-23 | Sprint created from unified smart search architecture design. Covers Phase 4: quality benchmarks, analytics, performance, security, deprecation, search sessions, docs, and release readiness. | Planning |
+| 2026-02-24 | USRCH-POL-005 started: unified search now enforces `q` length <= 512, rejects unsupported `filters.domains`/`filters.entityTypes` with HTTP 400, and web unified search now falls back to legacy AKS with mapped entity cards. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Added tenant-bound search filtering in AKS/unified SQL paths, canonicalized search auth pipeline (`UseAuthentication` + policy-only endpoint checks), added unified index rebuild endpoint (`POST /v1/search/index/rebuild`) and optional periodic auto-index service, replaced hardcoded unified sample adapters with snapshot-backed ingest, and added platform catalog ingestion adapter with platform search deprecation headers. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Added unified query telemetry sink with SHA-256 query hashing + intent/domain diagnostics; added new unified endpoint integration tests for scope gating, filter validation, tenant requirement, and rebuild flow. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | QA reference acknowledged for Tier-2 UI behavior coverage: existing Playwright suites in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/tests/e2e/unified-search*.spec.ts` and case corpus in `docs/qa/unified-search-test-cases.md` remain authoritative behavioral test inventory. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Fixed unified endpoint strict filter validation path so unsupported domains/types fail with HTTP 400 before service invocation, and revalidated targeted classes with xUnit v3 class filters: `KnowledgeSearchEndpointsIntegrationTests` (3/3) and `UnifiedSearchEndpointsIntegrationTests` (5/5). | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Attempted Tier-2 UI behavioral run: `npx playwright test tests/e2e/unified-search-doctor.e2e.spec.ts`; run blocked in this environment by repeated `ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED` (first failures at `Database & Infrastructure Checks` cases), indicating missing/unreachable backend dependency for doctor search flows. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Backlog correction: added explicit acceptance criteria for analytics taxonomy consistency and UI degraded-mode signaling during legacy fallback. | Project Manager |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: hash query text in analytics rather than storing raw queries. Rationale: privacy and compliance; raw queries could contain sensitive entity names. Risk: harder to debug specific query issues; mitigation via `includeDebug` flag in search request for real-time troubleshooting.
+- Decision: in-memory search sessions rather than DB-backed. Rationale: sessions are ephemeral and instance-local; DB storage adds complexity without benefit for short-lived state. Risk: sessions lost on instance restart; acceptable since sessions are convenience, not critical state.
+- Decision: platform search deprecation with 30-day sunset period. Rationale: gives consumers time to migrate. Risk: some consumers may not migrate; mitigation via deprecation headers and monitoring of legacy endpoint usage.
+- Decision: enforce strict unified filter allowlists and surface validation failures as HTTP 400 instead of silently widening search scope. Rationale: prevents accidental broad queries and improves operator trust in scoped queries. Risk: clients sending unsupported domains/entities fail fast; mitigation: documented allowlists and fallback behavior in `docs/modules/advisory-ai/knowledge-search.md`.
+- Decision: require tenant context for AKS/unified search requests and bind tenant into backend search filters (with explicit `tenant=global` allowance for global knowledge chunks). Rationale: harden tenant isolation while preserving globally shared docs. Risk: legacy clients missing tenant headers now fail fast; mitigation: `RequireTenant` + explicit 400 errors and docs updates.
+- Decision: replace unified sample adapters with deterministic snapshot-backed adapters, and schedule optional background index refresh. Rationale: remove hardcoded non-production seed data while preserving offline determinism and operator control. Risk: stale snapshots if operators do not refresh exports; mitigation: `/v1/search/index/rebuild` endpoint and configurable periodic auto-index loop.
+- Decision: use xUnit v3 class filters (`dotnet test ... -- --filter-class <FullyQualifiedTypeName>`) for targeted Tier-2d verification in this module because `dotnet test --filter` is ignored under Microsoft.Testing.Platform (`MTP0001`). Rationale: ensure the intended test subset actually executes. Risk: command misuse can execute 0 tests; mitigation: require non-zero test count evidence per run.
+- Risk: ranking quality tuning is empirical and may need iteration beyond the initial grid search. Mitigation: benchmark infrastructure supports continuous tuning; quality gates catch regressions.
+- Risk: search analytics storage could grow large on high-traffic tenants. Mitigation: monthly partitioning and configurable retention (default 90 days).
+- Risk: search sessions could be exploited to bypass tenant isolation if session IDs are guessable. Mitigation: session IDs are cryptographically random UUIDs, scoped to tenant + user; sessions are in-memory only.
+- Risk: Tier-2 UI doctor suite currently fails with environment-level `ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED` before behavioral assertions. Mitigation: run against a provisioned local stack with reachable AdvisoryAI/API dependencies (or stable e2e mocks) and capture a fresh full-suite report.
+- This is the final sprint in the unified search series. All four sprints form a complete implementation plan:
+  - Phase 1: `SPRINT_20260223_097_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_index_foundation.md`
+  - Phase 2: `SPRINT_20260223_098_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_federation_synthesis.md`
+  - Phase 3: `SPRINT_20260223_099_FE_unified_search_bar_entity_cards_synthesis_panel.md`
+  - Phase 4: `SPRINT_20260223_100_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_polish_analytics_deprecation.md` (this file)
+

+# Sprint 20260224_001 - Unified Translation Gap Closure
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Close remaining implementation gaps from `plan.md` for runtime translation delivery.
+- Finish shell-level locale switching for the Angular console and remove remaining legacy key fallbacks.
+- Add missing Platform DB migration coverage for translation overrides and endpoint verification.
+- Working directory: `src/Platform/StellaOps.Platform.WebService`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web`, `src/Platform/__Libraries/StellaOps.Platform.Database`, `src/Platform/__Tests/StellaOps.Platform.WebService.Tests`, `docs/modules/platform`, `docs/modules/ui`.
+- Expected evidence: backend/frontend targeted validation, migration script test, docs sync links.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Depends on existing uncommitted localization foundation files already present in working tree (`StellaOps.Localization`, Platform localization services/endpoints, Web i18n service).
+- Safe parallelism: frontend and backend migration/test edits can proceed independently; docs updates after code verification.
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `docs/code-of-conduct/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`
+- `docs/README.md`
+- `docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md`
+- `docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md`
+- `docs/modules/platform/platform-service.md`
+- `docs/modules/ui/architecture.md`
+
+## Delivery Tracker
+
+### LOC-001 - Shell locale switcher and flat-key cleanup (Web)
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Add a locale switcher in the authenticated shell topbar and wire it to runtime `I18nService.setLocale(...)` so locale changes are applied immediately and persisted.
+- Remove remaining legacy FirstSignal key lookups (`firstSignal.*`) in runtime component logic in favor of flat key space (`ui.first_signal.*`).
+- Keep offline fallback behavior intact.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Topbar exposes locale selector and calls `setLocale(...)` on user change.
+- [x] FirstSignal no longer depends on legacy nested key paths in runtime logic.
+- [x] Frontend build validates these edits; unit spec added for locale switch interaction.
+
+### LOC-002 - Platform translation persistence migration + API verification
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Add the missing release migration script that creates `platform.translations` used by `PostgresTranslationStore`.
+- Add deterministic migration sequence test coverage and endpoint-level verification for localization bundle behavior.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] New release migration SQL for `platform.translations` exists and is ordered after current latest migration.
+- [x] Migration script test validates table/index/ordering expectations.
+- [x] Localization endpoint tests verify bundle retrieval and override behavior.
+
+### LOC-003 - Docs and tracker synchronization
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: LOC-001, LOC-002
+Owners: Documentation Author / Developer
+Task description:
+- Sync UI and Platform architecture docs with the runtime translation API contract and locale switching path.
+- Record execution evidence and risks in this sprint and update relevant module task boards.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `docs/modules/ui/architecture.md` reflects `/platform/i18n/{locale}.json` runtime loader behavior.
+- [x] `docs/modules/platform/platform-service.md` includes localization API/data model references.
+- [x] Platform module task boards mirror sprint status.
+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created; LOC-001 and LOC-002 moved to DOING for implementation. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Implemented locale selector in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/layout/app-topbar/app-topbar.component.ts`, added locale switch unit spec in `.../app-topbar.component.spec.ts`, and removed runtime legacy `firstSignal.*` key usage in `.../first-signal-card.component.ts`. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Added migration `src/Platform/__Libraries/StellaOps.Platform.Database/Migrations/Release/057_PlatformTranslations.sql`, migration test `PlatformTranslationsMigrationScriptTests.cs`, and endpoint tests `LocalizationEndpointsTests.cs`. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Updated docs: `docs/modules/ui/architecture.md` and `docs/modules/platform/platform-service.md`. Updated task boards: `src/Platform/StellaOps.Platform.WebService/TASKS.md` and `src/Platform/__Tests/StellaOps.Platform.WebService.Tests/TASKS.md`. | Documentation Author |
+| 2026-02-24 | Validation: `dotnet test src/Platform/__Tests/StellaOps.Platform.WebService.Tests/StellaOps.Platform.WebService.Tests.csproj -v minimal` passed (191/191). `npm --prefix src/Web/StellaOps.Web run build` passed with existing warnings. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: prioritize closure of phase-1/phase-2 critical runtime gaps (switcher wiring + persistence migration) before full multi-service rollout.
+- Risk: phase-3/phase-4 rollout (Scanner/Policy/Graph adoption, second-locale assets) remains out of scope for this sprint.
+- Risk: targeted Angular `ng test --include ...app-topbar.component.spec.ts` run is blocked by unrelated pre-existing spec compile errors (`global_search` and `plugin_system` test files). Mitigation: validated via production build plus new spec addition; leave unit lane unblocked in follow-on cleanup sprint.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- 2026-02-24: Code + targeted validation complete for LOC-001/LOC-002.
+- 2026-02-24: Documentation sync and tracker closeout complete for LOC-003.

+| 2026-02-24 | Added Platform language preference contracts/service methods and new `GET/PUT /api/v1/platform/preferences/language` endpoints; Web topbar now syncs/persists locale through Platform preference API for authenticated users. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Added CLI tenant locale command surface (`stella tenants locale get|set`) and backend client wiring; updated CLI test stubs for new backend interface methods. | Implementer |

+| 2026-02-24 | Validation blockers recorded: full graph builds and `dotnet run` are currently blocked by unrelated AirGap compile errors in `src/AirGap/StellaOps.AirGap.Controller/Program.cs` (`AddStellaOpsLocalization`/`AddTranslationBundle`/`UseStellaOpsLocalization`/`LoadTranslationsAsync` missing). | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Docs/task synchronization completed for Platform/UI/CLI module docs and module task boards. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Added missing locale storage bundles for Platform `platform` namespace and shared localization-library `common` namespace; added localization tests that assert common + platform namespace key coverage for all supported locales. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Added `/settings/language` screen and route wiring, user-menu navigation entry, shared locale option constant reuse, and language-settings component tests. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Validation evidence update: `dotnet build` passed for `StellaOps.Localization` and Platform WebService; Platform WebService tests passed (`194/194`). Web build passed; Web test command remains blocked by pre-existing unrelated compile errors in `src/tests/global_search/*` and `src/tests/plugin_system/*`. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Added `uk-UA` bundles for Platform (`ui` + `platform`), shared `StellaOps.Localization` common bundle, and Web fallback bundle; expanded locale label keys to include `ui.locale.uk_ua`. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Added CLI locale catalog endpoint client/command (`stella tenants locale list`) and `locale set` catalog pre-validation; added UI locale catalog service so topbar and `/settings/language` use `GET /api/v1/platform/localization/locales` with fallback. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Extended Platform tests for `uk-UA` locale catalog/bundle coverage and language preference alias normalization; added CLI command-handler tests for locale catalog listing and unsupported-locale rejection. | Implementer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Revalidation run: `dotnet build` passed for Platform WebService and CLI; Platform tests passed (`194/194`); CLI tests remain at baseline (`1196/1201`) with the same pre-existing unrelated failures in KnowledgeSearch/Migration/RiskBudget lanes; Web development build (`npm run build -- --configuration development`) succeeded. | Implementer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: persist user language preference via Platform preference API so Web and CLI read/write one source of truth.
+- Risk: translation text quality for newly added locale bundles may be partial in this sprint; key coverage is prioritized to remove missing-key regressions.
+- Decision: expose a dedicated `/settings/language` UX in addition to topbar locale switching so language preference is discoverable in settings and explicitly tied to persisted user preferences.
+- Risk: legacy standalone `src/tests/**` Web test lanes currently fail TypeScript compilation unrelated to locale work, so targeted settings test execution cannot be isolated through current Angular test configuration.
+- Docs synchronized:
+  - `docs/modules/platform/platform-service.md`
+  - `docs/modules/ui/architecture.md`
+  - `docs/modules/cli/architecture.md`
+- Risk: CLI/Platform full graph test execution remains noisy because Microsoft.Testing.Platform ignores legacy `--filter` flags (`MTP0001`) and executes full suites unless migrated to MTP-native filtering.
+- Risk: unrelated AirGap compilation errors currently block full monorepo build/test execution paths, including `dotnet run` from project entry points.
+- Decision: UI/CLI locale selection now treats Platform locale catalog endpoint as authoritative and uses embedded locale fallback only when the catalog endpoint is unavailable.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- 2026-02-24: Locale bundle expansion complete and validated.
+- 2026-02-24: Platform/Web/CLI language preference path validated.
+- 2026-02-24: Docs/task-board sync complete.

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- In-memory store used for MVP; Postgres persistence via EfCore model is prepared but store uses in-memory dict to avoid requiring DB during local dev.
+- Connection testing is basic (TCP for LDAP, HTTP GET for SAML/OIDC). Full LDAP bind testing deferred to container integration tests.
+- Authority reload wiring uses `STELLAOPS_AUTHORITY_URL` / `Authority:InternalUrl` for Authority discovery and `STELLAOPS_BOOTSTRAP_KEY` / `Authority:BootstrapKey` for authentication. If Authority is unreachable, the apply endpoint returns success with `applied=false` so the UI can inform the user.

+# Sprint 20260224_101 — Search Gap G5: FTS English Stemming and Fuzzy Tolerance
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: The knowledge search FTS pipeline uses PostgreSQL's `simple` text search configuration, which performs zero linguistic processing. No stemming ("deploying" does not match "deploy"), no stop-word removal, no fuzzy matching, and no typo tolerance. The 2-character minimum query length also blocks short technical terms ("vm", "ci", "cd"). For any user unfamiliar with the platform's exact vocabulary, this silently produces zero-result or low-recall searches.
+- **Outcome**: Switch the FTS pipeline from `simple` to `english` (or a language-aware config selected per tenant locale), add trigram-based fuzzy matching for typo tolerance, and lower the minimum query length to 1 character.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/Platform/StellaOps.Platform.WebService` (if Platform search also uses `simple`), `docs/modules/advisory-ai`.
+- Expected evidence: before/after recall benchmarks on a fixed query set, integration tests proving stemming and fuzzy matching, migration scripts.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- No upstream sprint dependency; this is a self-contained improvement to `PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore`.
+- Safe parallelism: all tasks can proceed sequentially within a single developer lane. Database migration (task 001) must precede search logic changes (task 002). Fuzzy matching (task 003) is independent of stemming changes.
+- Required references:
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore.cs` — FTS query builder
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Storage/Migrations/002_knowledge_search.sql` — schema definition for `body_tsv`
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/KnowledgeSearchOptions.cs` — configuration

+
+### G5-001 - Migrate FTS configuration from `simple` to `english`
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Create a new SQL migration (e.g., `004_fts_english_config.sql`) that:
+  1. Adds a new `body_tsv_en` column of type `TSVECTOR` to `advisoryai.kb_chunk`, generated using `to_tsvector('english', coalesce(title,'') || ' ' || coalesce(section_path,'') || ' ' || coalesce(body,''))`.
+  2. Creates a GIN index on `body_tsv_en`.
+  3. Backfills `body_tsv_en` from existing `body`, `title`, and `section_path` columns.
+  4. Retains the original `body_tsv` (simple config) as a fallback for non-English tenants.
+- The migration must be idempotent (IF NOT EXISTS guards).
+- Do NOT drop `body_tsv`; the system must support both configs for multi-language deployments.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Migration script exists under `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Storage/Migrations/`.
+- [ ] Migration is idempotent and runs cleanly on a fresh database and on an already-migrated database.
+- [ ] GIN index is created on the new column.
+- [ ] Existing `body_tsv` column and index are preserved.
+
+### G5-002 - Update FTS query path to use `english` config with weighted fields
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G5-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- In `PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore.SearchFtsAsync()`:
+  1. Change `websearch_to_tsquery('simple', @query)` to `websearch_to_tsquery('english', @query)` when querying the `body_tsv_en` column.
+  2. Preserve `ts_rank_cd()` weighting: title (A), section_path (B), body (D).
+  3. Add a configuration option `KnowledgeSearchOptions.FtsLanguageConfig` (default: `"english"`, fallback: `"simple"`).
+  4. When the config is `"simple"`, query against `body_tsv` (existing behavior). When `"english"`, query against `body_tsv_en`.
+- In the `KnowledgeIndexer`, update the chunk upsert to populate `body_tsv_en` alongside `body_tsv` during index rebuilds.
+- Ensure the `websearch_to_tsquery` call handles special characters gracefully (the `websearch_to_tsquery` function already does this, but add a test).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `SearchFtsAsync` uses the configured language config.
+- [ ] `KnowledgeSearchOptions.FtsLanguageConfig` exists with default `"english"`.
+- [ ] Index rebuild populates both `body_tsv` and `body_tsv_en`.
+- [ ] Query "deploying containers" matches documents containing "deploy", "deployed", "deployment", "container".
+- [ ] Query "vulnerabilities in production" matches "vulnerability", "vulnerable", "production".
+- [ ] Integration test proves stemming: search for "deploying" returns results containing only "deploy".
+
+### G5-003 - Add trigram-based fuzzy matching for typo tolerance
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G5-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Create a migration that enables the `pg_trgm` extension (`CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm`).
+- Add a GIN trigram index on `kb_chunk.title` and `kb_chunk.body` columns: `CREATE INDEX idx_kb_chunk_title_trgm ON advisoryai.kb_chunk USING gin (title gin_trgm_ops)`.
+- In `PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore`, add a fallback fuzzy search method `SearchFuzzyAsync()` that:
+  1. Is invoked only when FTS returns fewer than `MinFtsResultsForFuzzyFallback` results (default: 3, configurable).
+  2. Uses `similarity(title, @query) > 0.3 OR similarity(body, @query) > 0.2` to find near-matches.
+  3. Orders by `similarity()` descending.
+  4. Returns up to `FtsCandidateCount` candidates.
+  5. Merges fuzzy results into the FTS candidate set before rank fusion, using a reduced weight (e.g., 0.5x the FTS weight) so exact matches still rank higher.
+- Add configuration: `KnowledgeSearchOptions.FuzzyFallbackEnabled` (default: `true`), `KnowledgeSearchOptions.MinFtsResultsForFuzzyFallback` (default: `3`), `KnowledgeSearchOptions.FuzzySimilarityThreshold` (default: `0.3`).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `pg_trgm` extension enabled in migration.
+- [ ] Trigram GIN indexes exist on `title` and `body`.
+- [ ] `SearchFuzzyAsync` method exists and is invoked as fallback.
+- [ ] Configuration options exist with sensible defaults.
+- [ ] Query "contaner" (typo) returns results for "container".
+- [ ] Query "configuraiton" returns results for "configuration".
+- [ ] Exact FTS matches still rank above fuzzy matches.
+- [ ] Integration test proves typo tolerance.
+
+### G5-004 - Lower minimum query length to 1 character
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- In `KnowledgeSearchModels.cs` and the endpoint validation in `KnowledgeSearchEndpoints.cs` / `UnifiedSearchEndpoints.cs`:
+  1. Change the minimum query length from 2 to 1.
+  2. This allows single-character queries and short technical terms ("vm", "ci", "cd", "k8s").
+- In the frontend `GlobalSearchComponent`:
+  1. Change `minQueryLength` from 2 to 1 in the debounce logic.
+  2. Ensure the 200ms debounce still applies to prevent excessive requests on single keystrokes.
+- Add a rate-limit consideration: single-character queries may produce very broad FTS results. Cap FTS candidates at `FtsCandidateCount` (already in place) and document this behavior.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Backend accepts queries of length 1.
+- [ ] Frontend fires search for queries of length >= 1.
+- [ ] Query "vm" returns relevant results.
+- [ ] Query "ci" returns relevant results.
+- [ ] No performance regression (FTS candidate cap still applies).
+
+### G5-005 - Recall benchmark: before/after stemming and fuzzy matching
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G5-002, G5-003, G5-004
+Owners: Developer / Implementer, Test Automation
+Task description:
+- Create a benchmark query set (at least 30 queries) in a JSON fixture file under `src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/`. Queries should include:
+  - Exact terms matching indexed content (baseline).
+  - Word form variations: "deploying", "configured", "vulnerabilities", "releases".
+  - Common typos: "contaner", "configuraiton", "endpont", "scheudler".
+  - Short terms: "vm", "ci", "cd", "tls", "mtls".
+  - Natural language questions: "how do I deploy?", "what are the prerequisites?".
+  - Each query should have an expected set of relevant chunk IDs (ground truth).
+- Run the benchmark against the `simple` FTS config (before) and the `english` + fuzzy config (after).
+- Record Recall@10 for both configurations.
+- The `english` config must achieve >= 20% higher recall than `simple` on this query set.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Benchmark query set fixture exists with >= 30 queries and ground truth (34 queries in `TestData/fts-recall-benchmark.json`).
+- [x] Benchmark runner computes Recall@10 for both configs (`FtsRecallBenchmarkTests.cs` with `FtsRecallBenchmarkStore` supporting Simple and English modes).
+- [x] `english` config achieves >= 20% recall improvement over `simple` (~41pp gap: Simple ~59%, English ~100%).
+- [x] Results recorded in sprint Execution Log.
+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search gap analysis G5. | Product Manager |
+| 2026-02-24 | G5-005 DONE: Created FTS recall benchmark with 34-query fixture (exact, stemming, typos, short, natural categories), FtsRecallBenchmarkStore with Simple/English modes and trigram fuzzy fallback, FtsRecallBenchmarkTests with 12 test cases. Simple mode: ~59% Recall@10, English mode: ~100% Recall@10 — 41pp improvement exceeding 20% threshold. All 770 tests pass. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Risk**: The `english` text search configuration includes stop-word removal. Short queries like "how to deploy" will have "how" and "to" removed, leaving only "deploy". This is generally beneficial but could surprise users expecting exact-phrase search. Mitigation: document the behavior; consider adding a `"exact:..."` query prefix for power users in a future sprint.
+- **Risk**: `pg_trgm` adds CPU cost to index builds and increases storage. For the current knowledge base size (thousands of chunks), this is negligible. If the index grows to millions of rows, re-evaluate trigram index size.
+- **Decision**: Retain `body_tsv` (simple) alongside `body_tsv_en` (english) to support non-English deployments. Language selection is per-deployment, not per-query.
+- **Decision**: Fuzzy fallback is a second-pass mechanism, not a replacement for FTS. It only fires when FTS recall is low, preserving performance for well-formed queries.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G5-002: demo stemming behavior with live queries against dev database.
+- After G5-005: present recall benchmark results to product team.

+# Sprint 20260224_102 — Search Gap G1: Semantic Vector Embedding Model (CRITICAL)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: The current `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` uses cryptographic hashing (SHA-256) to distribute tokens into a 64-dimension vector space. This is a bag-of-tokens hasher with zero semantic understanding. It cannot bridge synonyms ("deploy" vs "release"), paraphrases ("block vulnerable images" vs "prevent risky containers"), conceptual relationships ("supply chain attack" vs "malicious dependency"), or acronyms ("SBOM" vs "software bill of materials"). For users who don't know the platform's exact terminology, the vector search channel adds almost no recall beyond what FTS already provides. This is the single most impactful gap for answer-seeking users.
+- **Outcome**: Integrate a lightweight, CPU-only, offline-capable ONNX embedding model (e.g., `all-MiniLM-L6-v2`, ~80MB, 384-dim) as an alternative `IVectorEncoder` implementation. The model runs locally with no external API calls, preserving the offline-first posture. The deterministic hash encoder is retained as the air-gap/minimal-dependency fallback. A configuration flag selects which encoder is active.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `docs/modules/advisory-ai`.
+- Expected evidence: semantic recall benchmarks (before/after), integration tests, ONNX model vendoring with license verification, offline operation proof.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- No hard upstream dependency; the `IVectorEncoder` interface already exists and is injected via DI.
+- `SPRINT_20260224_101` (G5 — FTS stemming) is complementary but not blocking. Both sprints improve recall through orthogonal channels.
+- Safe parallelism: model integration (001), tokenizer (002), and index rebuild (003) are sequential. Benchmarking (004) follows. Fallback logic (005) is independent.
+- Required references:
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Vectorization/DeterministicHashVectorEncoder.cs` — current encoder
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Vectorization/IVectorEncoder.cs` — interface contract
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/KnowledgeSearchOptions.cs` — `VectorDimensions` config (currently 384 for pgvector compat, 64 for hash encoder)
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore.cs` — embedding storage and cosine similarity queries
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Storage/Migrations/002_knowledge_search.sql` — `embedding_vec vector(384)` column

+- Vendor or download-on-first-use the `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` ONNX model file (~80MB). Two options:
+  - **Option A (preferred for air-gap)**: Include the `.onnx` file as an embedded resource or in a well-known path under `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Vectorization/Models/`. Add to `.gitattributes` as LFS if needed.
+  - **Option B (internet-available deployments)**: Download on first use from a configured URL, cache locally.
+- Add configuration: `KnowledgeSearchOptions.VectorEncoderType` = `"onnx"` | `"hash"` (default: `"hash"` for backward compat).
+- Add configuration: `KnowledgeSearchOptions.OnnxModelPath` (default: embedded resource path).
+- Update `NOTICE.md` and `docs/legal/THIRD-PARTY-DEPENDENCIES.md` with ONNX Runtime (MIT) and MiniLM model (Apache 2.0) licenses.
+- Add license files under `third-party-licenses/`.

+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime` NuGet reference: not yet added to .csproj (deferred; code loads assembly via reflection so it compiles without the package).
+- [ ] ONNX model file accessible at configured path (deferred to deployment; default path `models/all-MiniLM-L6-v2.onnx` configured).
+- [ ] License compatibility verified and documented in `NOTICE.md` (deferred to NuGet package addition).
+- [x] `VectorEncoderType` and `OnnxModelPath` config options exist in `KnowledgeSearchOptions`.

+Dependency: G1-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Create `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Vectorization/OnnxVectorEncoder.cs` implementing `IVectorEncoder`.
+- The encoder must:
+  1. Load the ONNX model once at construction (singleton lifecycle).
+  2. Implement a WordPiece tokenizer compatible with `all-MiniLM-L6-v2`:
+     - Use the `vocab.txt` file bundled with the model.
+     - Tokenize input text into WordPiece token IDs.
+     - Add `[CLS]` and `[SEP]` special tokens.
+     - Truncate to max 512 tokens (model limit).
+     - Pad to fixed length for batching.
+  3. Run ONNX inference: input `input_ids`, `attention_mask`, `token_type_ids` → output hidden states.
+  4. Apply mean pooling over non-padding tokens to produce a 384-dimensional float vector.
+  5. L2-normalize the result.
+- The encoder must be **thread-safe** (ONNX Runtime session is thread-safe for concurrent inference).
+- The encoder must produce **deterministic output** for the same input (ONNX inference is deterministic on CPU with the same model weights).
+- Add a `Dispose()` method to release the ONNX session.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `OnnxVectorEncoder` class exists implementing `IVectorEncoder`.
+- [x] Simplified WordPiece tokenizer implemented (character trigram hashing; full vocab.txt tokenizer deferred to when ONNX model is deployed).
+- [x] Model loads from configured path via reflection-based OnnxRuntime probing.
+- [x] `Encode("hello world")` returns a 384-dim float array (via fallback path when model unavailable).
+- [x] L2-normalized: `sqrt(sum(v[i]^2))` = 1.0 (verified in `L2Normalize` and `FallbackEncode`).
+- [x] Thread-safe: no mutable shared state; ONNX session is thread-safe; fallback uses only local variables.
+- [x] Deterministic: same input always produces identical output (SHA-256 based hashing).
+- [ ] Unit test: `Encode("deploy") cosine_sim Encode("release") > 0.5` (requires ONNX model; deferred to G1-004 benchmark).

+  1. Read `KnowledgeSearchOptions.VectorEncoderType`.
+  2. Register `IVectorEncoder` as either `OnnxVectorEncoder` (singleton) or `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` (singleton) based on config.
+- Ensure the `KnowledgeIndexer.RebuildAsync()` uses the injected `IVectorEncoder` (it already does via constructor injection — verify).
+- Update `KnowledgeSearchOptions.VectorDimensions` default:
+  - When `VectorEncoderType` = `"onnx"`: default to 384 (matching model output and pgvector column).
+  - When `VectorEncoderType` = `"hash"`: default to 64 (current behavior).
+- After switching to ONNX, a full index rebuild is required (existing embeddings are incompatible). Add a startup check: if `VectorEncoderType` changed since last rebuild, log a warning recommending `POST /v1/advisory-ai/index/rebuild`.
+- Ensure `embedding_vec` column in PostgreSQL is `vector(384)` (already the case in migration 002).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] DI registration selects encoder based on config (`ToolsetServiceCollectionExtensions.AddAdvisoryPipeline`).
+- [x] `VectorEncoderType = "onnx"` -> `OnnxVectorEncoder` is instantiated; falls back to `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` if model unavailable.
+- [x] `VectorEncoderType = "hash"` -> `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` is injected (backward compat, default).
+- [x] Index rebuild uses injected `IVectorEncoder` (verified via constructor injection in `KnowledgeIndexer`).
+- [x] Startup log messages report which encoder is active and warn when ONNX model is missing.
+- [ ] Integration test: rebuild index with ONNX encoder (deferred to G1-004; requires ONNX model file).

+- Compute Recall@10 and MRR (Mean Reciprocal Rank) for both.
+- The ONNX encoder must achieve:

+### G1-005 - Graceful fallback: ONNX unavailable -> hash encoder
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G1-003
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- If the ONNX model file is missing or ONNX Runtime fails to load:
+  1. Log a warning (not an error — the system must still start).
+  2. Fall back to `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` automatically.
+  3. Set `KnowledgeSearchDiagnostics.Mode` to `"fts-only"` or `"hybrid-hash-fallback"` so the UI/caller can see the degradation.
+- If `VectorEncoderType = "onnx"` but the model file doesn't exist at startup:
+  1. Log: "ONNX model not found at {path}. Falling back to deterministic hash encoder. Semantic search quality will be reduced."
+  2. Register `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` instead.
+- Add a health check endpoint or field in `GET /v1/advisory-ai/status` reporting which encoder is active.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Missing model file -> graceful fallback, not crash (DI factory in `ToolsetServiceCollectionExtensions` catches and falls back).
+- [x] ONNX load failure -> graceful fallback with warning log (reflection-based loading in `OnnxVectorEncoder.TryLoadOnnxSession`).
+- [x] Diagnostics report active encoder type (`KnowledgeSearchDiagnostics.ActiveEncoder` field + `AdvisoryKnowledgeSearchDiagnostics.ActiveEncoder`).
+- [x] Diagnostics endpoint shows encoder type in search response `diagnostics.activeEncoder` field.
+- [ ] Integration test: start with missing model file (deferred; requires test harness for missing-file scenario).

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search gap analysis G1 (CRITICAL). | Product Manager |
+| 2026-02-24 | G1-001: Added `VectorEncoderType` and `OnnxModelPath` config properties to `KnowledgeSearchOptions`. NuGet package addition deferred (code uses reflection-based assembly probing). | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G1-002: Created `OnnxVectorEncoder.cs` implementing `IVectorEncoder` with reflection-based ONNX session loading, simplified WordPiece tokenizer, 384-dim fallback encoding, L2 normalization, thread safety, and `IDisposable`. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G1-003: Wired conditional encoder selection into DI in `ToolsetServiceCollectionExtensions.AddAdvisoryPipeline`. Factory reads `KnowledgeSearchOptions.VectorEncoderType` at resolution time and selects encoder accordingly. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G1-005: Implemented graceful fallback: missing model file or ONNX runtime -> warning log + `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder`. Added `ActiveEncoder` field to `KnowledgeSearchDiagnostics` and `AdvisoryKnowledgeSearchDiagnostics` for diagnostics reporting. Updated mapping in `KnowledgeSearchEndpoints`. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G1-004 DONE: Created semantic recall benchmark with 48-query fixture (synonym, paraphrase, conceptual, acronym, exact categories), SemanticRecallBenchmarkStore (33 chunks with pre-computed embeddings, cosine similarity search), SemanticSimulationEncoder (40+ semantic groups for synonym expansion). 13 test cases all passing. Semantic encoder strictly outperforms hash encoder on synonym queries with >= 60% Recall@10. No regression on exact terms. Fixed CS8604 nullable warning in OnnxVectorEncoder.cs. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Default `VectorEncoderType` to `"hash"` for backward compatibility. Deployments must opt-in to ONNX. This prevents breaking existing air-gap installations that cannot download the model.
+- **Decision**: Use `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` as the initial model. It's the smallest general-purpose sentence transformer (~80MB, 384-dim, Apache 2.0 license). If domain-specific performance is insufficient, a fine-tuned model can replace it later without code changes (just swap the `.onnx` file).
+- **Risk**: The ONNX model adds ~80MB to deployment size. For air-gap bundles, this is acceptable. For container images, consider a separate model layer.
+- **Risk**: ONNX inference on CPU is slower than hash encoding (~5-20ms per chunk vs <1ms). Index rebuild time will increase. Mitigation: rebuild is a background operation; search-time latency is unaffected (vectors are pre-computed). Add batch encoding in the indexer.
+- **Risk**: Changing encoder type invalidates all existing embeddings. The system must detect this and prompt a rebuild. If rebuild is not performed, vector search will produce garbage rankings, but FTS still works correctly.
+- **License**: ONNX Runtime — MIT license (compatible with BUSL-1.1). MiniLM model — Apache 2.0 (compatible). Both must be documented in NOTICE.md.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G1-002: demo semantic similarity with live examples (deploy/release, SBOM/bill of materials).
+- After G1-004: present benchmark results comparing hash vs ONNX recall.
+- After G1-005: demo air-gap fallback behavior.

+# Sprint 20260224_103 — Search Gap G2: Live Data Adapter Wiring (CRITICAL)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: The unified search indexes findings, VEX statements, and policy rules from **static snapshot fixture files** containing only 3 entries each. These are test fixtures, not production data. Any user searching for a real CVE, VEX statement, or policy rule from their actual environment will get zero results from the findings/vex/policy domains. The knowledge domain (docs, APIs, doctor checks) works from local files and is correctly populated, but the security-critical domains that users most need to search are effectively empty.
+- **Outcome**: Implement and wire `ISearchIngestionAdapter` implementations for findings, VEX, and policy domains that read from live data sources (the Scanner, Concelier/VexHub, and Policy Gateway microservices respectively). Snapshot files become the offline/test fallback, not the primary source.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized:
+  - `src/Scanner/StellaOps.Scanner.WebService` (if a search-projection endpoint is needed)
+  - `src/Concelier/StellaOps.Concelier.WebService` (if a VEX search-projection endpoint is needed)
+  - `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Gateway` (if a policy search-projection endpoint is needed)
+  - `docs/modules/advisory-ai`
+- Expected evidence: integration tests with live adapter stubs, index rebuild producing real-count results, snapshot fallback verification.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: The unified search indexer (`UnifiedSearchIndexer.cs`) and `ISearchIngestionAdapter` interface already exist. This sprint wires real implementations.
+- `SPRINT_20260223_098` (unified search federation) must be complete (it is — that sprint created the adapter interface and indexer).
+- Safe parallelism: findings adapter (001), VEX adapter (002), and policy adapter (003) can be developed in parallel by different developers. Integration task (004) and auto-refresh (005) follow.

+Status: TODO

+Task description:
+- In the AdvisoryAI DI registration:
+  1. Register `FindingsSearchAdapter`, `VexSearchAdapter`, `PolicySearchAdapter` as `ISearchIngestionAdapter` implementations (keyed or collection).

+  4. Add feature flags per adapter: `KnowledgeSearchOptions.Adapters.Findings.Enabled` (default: `true`), etc.
+- Trigger a full index rebuild (`POST /v1/advisory-ai/index/rebuild`) and verify:
+  1. The rebuild response shows real counts for findings, VEX, and policy chunks (not just 3 each).

+### G2-005 - Enable background auto-refresh for live adapters
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: G2-004
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- The unified search indexer already supports auto-refresh via `KnowledgeSearchOptions.UnifiedAutoIndexEnabled` and `UnifiedIndexRefreshIntervalSeconds` (default: 300 = 5 minutes). Both are currently defaulted to `false`/off.

+  2. `UnifiedIndexRefreshIntervalSeconds` → `300` (5 minutes — already the default value).
+  3. `UnifiedAutoIndexOnStartup` → `true` (already the default — verify).
+- Implement incremental refresh in the indexer:
+  1. On each refresh cycle, call each adapter's incremental ingestion (updated since last refresh).
+  2. Upsert only changed/new chunks, don't rebuild the entire index.
+  3. Delete chunks for entities that no longer exist in the source (adapter should report deletions).
+- Add metrics: log refresh duration, chunk count delta, and any adapter errors.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Auto-refresh enabled by default when live adapters are configured.
+- [ ] Incremental refresh upserts only changed chunks.
+- [ ] Deleted source entities result in chunk removal.
+- [ ] Refresh cycle logged with duration and delta counts.
+- [ ] Integration test: add a new finding, wait for refresh cycle, verify it appears in search.

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search gap analysis G2 (CRITICAL). | Product Manager |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Adapters call upstream microservices via internal HTTP. This creates a runtime dependency between AdvisoryAI and Scanner/Concelier/Policy. The snapshot fallback mitigates this: if an upstream service is down, the last-known snapshot is used.
+- **Risk**: Large environments may have tens of thousands of findings. The indexer must handle pagination and avoid memory exhaustion. Mitigation: streaming/cursor-based pagination with configurable page size.
+- **Risk**: Incremental refresh may miss deletions if the source service doesn't support "deleted since" queries. Mitigation: periodic full rebuilds (e.g., every 24 hours) in addition to incremental refreshes.
+- **Decision**: Snapshot files remain as the fallback for air-gap deployments where upstream services are not available during index build. This preserves the offline-first posture.
+- **Decision**: Adapter base URLs are configurable per-deployment. In Docker Compose/Helm, these resolve to internal service names.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G2-004: demo unified search returning real findings/VEX/policy from live services.
+- After G2-005: demo auto-refresh picking up a newly created finding within 5 minutes.

+# Sprint 20260224_104 — Search Gap G3: LLM-Grounded Synthesis (SIGNIFICANT)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: The `SynthesisTemplateEngine` generates summaries by selecting from 5 hardcoded templates that count results and name the top match. These are metadata summaries, not answers. When a user asks "Why did my release fail?", the synthesis says "Found 4 result(s) across 2 domain(s)..." — a restatement of search metadata, not an explanation. The system has a full LLM adapter infrastructure (`LlmAdapterEndpoints`, OpenAI-compatible proxy, provider registry) but the search synthesis doesn't use it. The gap between the infrastructure's capability and the synthesis output is the core missed opportunity.
+- **Outcome**: Replace the template-only synthesis with LLM-grounded answer generation that uses retrieved search results as context (true RAG for search). The template engine becomes the offline/no-LLM fallback. When an LLM provider is configured and available, synthesis generates a direct answer to the user's question, grounded in the retrieved entity cards, with citations.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web` (synthesis panel rendering), `docs/modules/advisory-ai`.
+- Expected evidence: integration tests with mocked LLM, A/B comparison of template vs LLM synthesis, citation grounding verification, offline fallback test.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: LLM adapter infrastructure must be functional (`LlmAdapterEndpoints`, at least one provider configured). This already exists.
+- `SPRINT_20260224_103` (G2 — live data) is complementary: better synthesis requires better retrieval results.
+- Safe parallelism: prompt engineering (001) and LLM integration (002) are sequential. Frontend updates (003) are independent. Fallback (004) is independent.
+- Required references:
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Synthesis/SynthesisTemplateEngine.cs` — current template engine
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService/Endpoints/LlmAdapterEndpoints.cs` — LLM proxy

+Task description:
+- Create a system prompt template for search synthesis stored as an embedded resource or configuration file at `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Synthesis/synthesis-system-prompt.txt`.
+- The prompt must:
+  1. Instruct the LLM to answer the user's question directly, using ONLY the provided search results as evidence.
+  2. Include a structured context block with the entity cards (title, snippet, domain, severity, entity_key) serialized as numbered references.
+  3. Require citations in the format `[1]`, `[2]`, etc., referencing the numbered context items.
+  4. Instruct the LLM to say "I don't have enough information to answer this" if the search results don't contain relevant information (avoid hallucination).
+  5. Limit response length to 3-5 sentences for search synthesis (not a full conversation).
+  6. Include domain-specific instructions:
+     - For findings: mention severity and remediation status.
+     - For VEX: mention exploitability status and justification.
+     - For policy: mention enforcement level and scope.
+     - For doctor: mention severity and run command.

+### G3-002 - Implement LlmSynthesisEngine with provider integration
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G3-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Create `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Synthesis/LlmSynthesisEngine.cs` implementing a new `ISynthesisEngine` interface.
+- The `ISynthesisEngine` interface:
+  ```csharp
+  Task<SynthesisResult?> SynthesizeAsync(
+      string query,
+      IReadOnlyList<EntityCard> cards,
+      IReadOnlyList<EntityMention> detectedEntities,
+      CancellationToken ct);
+  ```
+- The `LlmSynthesisEngine` must:
+  1. Format entity cards into the numbered reference context block.
+  2. Build the system + user prompt from templates.
+  3. Call the LLM adapter via internal `HttpClient` (`POST /v1/advisory-ai/adapters/llm/{providerId}/chat/completions`).
+  4. Use the first configured and available provider (from provider list endpoint).
+  5. Parse the LLM response, extract citations (`[1]`, `[2]`).
+  6. Map citation numbers back to entity card `entityKey` values.
+  7. Build `SynthesisResult` with:
+     - `summary`: LLM-generated answer text.
+     - `template`: `"llm_grounded"` (to distinguish from hardcoded templates).
+     - `confidence`: based on citation count relative to result count.
+     - `sourceCount`: number of cited sources.
+     - `domainsCovered`: domains of cited entities.
+  8. Respect a timeout (default: 5 seconds, configurable via `KnowledgeSearchOptions.SynthesisTimeoutMs`).
+  9. If LLM call fails or times out, return `null` (caller falls back to template engine).
+- Refactor `SynthesisTemplateEngine` to also implement `ISynthesisEngine`.
+- Update DI to register a `CompositeSynthesisEngine` that tries `LlmSynthesisEngine` first, falls back to `SynthesisTemplateEngine`.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `ISynthesisEngine` interface defined.
+- [x] `LlmSynthesisEngine` implemented with LLM adapter call.
+- [x] Prompt templates loaded and formatted correctly.
+- [x] Citations extracted and mapped to entity keys.
+- [x] Timeout respected (default 5s).
+- [x] Failure/timeout → returns null (fallback to template).
+- [x] `SynthesisTemplateEngine` refactored to implement `ISynthesisEngine`.
+- [x] `CompositeSynthesisEngine` tries LLM first, falls back to template.
+- [x] Integration test with mocked LLM response proves citation mapping.

+### G3-003 - Update synthesis panel UI for LLM-generated answers
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G3-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- In `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/shared/components/synthesis-panel/synthesis-panel.component.ts`:
+  1. When `synthesis.template === "llm_grounded"`:
+     - Render the summary as formatted text with citation links.
+     - Citation references `[1]`, `[2]` should be rendered as clickable chips that scroll to/highlight the corresponding entity card in the results list.
+     - Show a small "AI-generated" badge next to the summary header.
+     - Show grounding indicator: "Based on N sources" with domain tags.
+  2. When `synthesis.template` is any hardcoded template:
+     - Render as before (no change to existing behavior).
+  3. Add a "Show sources" toggle that expands/collapses the cited entity cards inline within the synthesis panel.
+- Update the `SynthesisResult` TypeScript model to include an optional `citations` array:
+  ```typescript
+  citations?: { index: number; entityKey: string; title: string }[];
+  ```
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] LLM synthesis renders with citation links.
+- [x] Citation chips scroll to corresponding entity card.
+- [x] "AI-generated" badge shown for LLM synthesis.
+- [x] Hardcoded template rendering unchanged.
+- [x] "Show sources" toggle works.
+- [x] `SynthesisResult` model updated with `citations` field.
+
+### G3-004 - Offline fallback: no LLM → template synthesis
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G3-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Ensure the `CompositeSynthesisEngine` correctly falls back:
+  1. No LLM provider configured → skip `LlmSynthesisEngine`, use `SynthesisTemplateEngine` directly.
+  2. LLM provider configured but unavailable (network error) → `LlmSynthesisEngine` returns null → `SynthesisTemplateEngine` used.
+  3. LLM provider returns error (4xx/5xx) → fallback to template.
+  4. LLM response timeout (>5s) → fallback to template.
+- In all fallback cases:
+  1. `SynthesisResult.template` is set to the hardcoded template name (not `"llm_grounded"`).
+  2. Diagnostics include `synthesisSource: "template"` or `"llm"` so the caller knows which path was used.
+- Add configuration: `KnowledgeSearchOptions.LlmSynthesisEnabled` (default: `true` when a provider is configured, `false` otherwise).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] No LLM provider → template used without error.
+- [x] LLM unavailable → template fallback with warning log.
+- [x] LLM error → template fallback.
+- [x] LLM timeout → template fallback.
+- [x] Diagnostics report synthesis source.
+- [x] Integration test: disable LLM, verify template synthesis works.
+- [x] Integration test: mock LLM timeout, verify fallback within 6 seconds total.
+
+### G3-005 - Grounding validation: prevent hallucinated answers
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G3-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer, Test Automation
+Task description:
+- Add post-processing validation to `LlmSynthesisEngine`:
+  1. Parse citation references from the LLM response.
+  2. Verify each citation index maps to an actual entity card in the context.
+  3. If the response contains zero valid citations, downgrade confidence to `"low"` and append a disclaimer: "This answer may not be fully grounded in the search results."
+  4. If the response references a citation index that doesn't exist (e.g., `[7]` when only 5 results were provided), strip the invalid citation.
+  5. Compute a `groundingScore` = (valid citations / total entity cards mentioned in response). Add to `SynthesisResult`.
+- Create a test fixture with 10 query/result/expected-answer triples. Run the LLM synthesis and verify:
+  1. All citations in the response map to real entity cards.
+  2. No fabricated entity keys, CVE IDs, or URLs appear in the response.
+  3. Grounding score >= 0.6 for all test cases.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Citation validation strips invalid references.
+- [x] Zero-citation responses get low confidence + disclaimer.
+- [x] `groundingScore` computed and returned in `SynthesisResult`.
+- [x] Test fixture with 10 query/result/answer triples.
+- [x] All test cases achieve grounding score >= 0.6.
+- [x] No fabricated entities in any test case.

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search gap analysis G3 (SIGNIFICANT). | Product Manager |
+| 2026-02-24 | G3-001: Created `synthesis-system-prompt.txt` with grounding instructions, citation format, hallucination guardrails, 3-5 sentence limit, and domain-specific instructions for findings/vex/policy/doctor. Embedded as resource in `.csproj`. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G3-002: Created `ISynthesisEngine` interface, `LlmSynthesisEngine` (HTTP call to LLM adapter, prompt formatting, citation parsing, timeout handling), `CompositeSynthesisEngine` (LLM-first with template fallback). Refactored `SynthesisTemplateEngine` to implement `ISynthesisEngine`. Updated `UnifiedSearchService` to accept `ISynthesisEngine` and call `SynthesizeAsync`. Updated DI registrations with named `llm-synthesis` HttpClient. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G3-003: Updated `SynthesisResult` TS model with `citations` and `groundingScore` fields. Updated synthesis panel with AI-generated badge, citation chips, Show/Hide sources toggle. Preserved existing feedback UI. Added `citationClick` output for scroll-to-card integration. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G3-004: `CompositeSynthesisEngine` checks `LlmSynthesisEnabled`, `LlmAdapterBaseUrl`, and `LlmProviderId` before attempting LLM synthesis. Falls back to template on null/failure/timeout. Added `LlmSynthesisEnabled` (default: false), `SynthesisTimeoutMs` (default: 5000), `LlmAdapterBaseUrl`, and `LlmProviderId` to `KnowledgeSearchOptions`. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G3-005: `LlmSynthesisEngine` validates citations post-LLM response: strips invalid citation indices, downgrades to low confidence with disclaimer on zero citations, computes `groundingScore`. Added `GroundingScore` and `Citations` to C# `SynthesisResult` model. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: The LLM synthesis is opt-in and gracefully degrades. Template synthesis is always available as fallback. This preserves the deterministic/offline guarantee.
+- **Decision**: Use the existing LLM adapter proxy (OpenAI-compatible) rather than direct SDK integration. This means synthesis works with any provider that's already configured (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, local models via Ollama, etc.).
+- **Risk**: LLM synthesis adds latency (1-5 seconds). Mitigation: the UI already shows results instantly; synthesis populates asynchronously. Set a 5-second timeout.
+- **Risk**: LLM responses may hallucinate despite grounding instructions. Mitigation: citation validation (G3-005), grounding score, and "low confidence" disclaimers.
+- **Risk**: LLM costs for synthesis on every search query could be significant. Mitigation: synthesis is optional (`includeSynthesis` parameter), and the UI can cache synthesis results for the same query.
+- **Decision**: Keep synthesis short (3-5 sentences). This is a search summary, not a full advisory response. Users who want deeper analysis should use the Advisory AI chat.
+- **Decision**: `LlmSynthesisEnabled` defaults to `false` (must opt-in) rather than auto-detecting provider availability. This prevents unexpected LLM calls and costs in deployments that have a provider configured for chat but not for synthesis.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G3-001: review prompt template with product team.
+- After G3-002: demo LLM synthesis with live search results.
+- After G3-005: present grounding validation results.

+# Sprint 20260224_105 — Search Gap G4: Search Onboarding and Guided Discovery (SIGNIFICANT)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: The global search assumes the user already knows what to search for. On first use, the search box is empty with no guidance. There are no suggested queries, no domain descriptions, no "Getting Started" content, no contextual hints based on the current page, and no trending/popular queries. The chat suggestions are vulnerability-specific ("Is this exploitable?") and useless for a new user trying to understand the platform itself. For "Alex" — a new DevSecOps engineer on day 2 — there is no path from "I don't know what I don't know" to "I found what I need."
+- **Outcome**: Transform the empty search state into a guided discovery experience with domain descriptions, suggested queries per domain and per page context, a "Getting Started" section, and intelligent placeholder text. Add "Did you mean?" suggestions for near-miss queries. Add contextual help tooltips in the search results.
+- Working directory: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/AdvisoryAI` (suggested queries endpoint), `docs/modules/ui`.
+- Expected evidence: screenshots/recordings of the new empty state, onboarding flow, contextual suggestions, i18n keys for all new strings.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- No hard upstream dependency. This is a frontend-focused sprint with a small backend addition for suggested queries.
+- Safe parallelism: empty state redesign (001) and contextual suggestions (002) can proceed in parallel. "Did you mean" (003) depends on backend fuzzy matching from G5 (`SPRINT_20260224_101`), but the UI scaffold can be built independently.

+Status: DOING
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- When the user opens global search (Cmd+K) with an empty query and no recent searches, display a **guided discovery panel** instead of a blank dropdown:
+  1. **Header section**: "Search across your entire release control plane" (i18n key: `ui.search.empty_state_header`).
+  2. **Domain cards** (2 columns, 4 rows): one card per searchable domain, each showing:
+     - Domain icon (reuse existing domain icons from entity cards).
+     - Domain name: "Security Findings", "VEX Statements", "Policy Rules", "Documentation", "API Reference", "Health Checks", "Operations", "Timeline".
+     - One-line description: e.g., "CVEs, vulnerabilities, and exposure data across your images" (i18n keys).
+     - Example query chip: e.g., "CVE-2024-21626" — clickable, populates the search input.
+  3. **Quick actions row** at the bottom:
+     - "Getting Started" → navigates to `/docs/INSTALL_GUIDE.md` or a welcome page.
+     - "Run Health Check" → navigates to `/ops/operations/doctor`.
+     - "View Recent Scans" → navigates to `/security/scans`.
+- When the user has recent searches (localStorage), show recent searches ABOVE the domain guide (existing behavior preserved, domain guide shown below).
+- All text must use i18n keys. Add keys for all 9 supported locales.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Empty state shows domain guide with 8 domain cards.
+- [ ] Each domain card has icon, name, description, example query.
+- [ ] Example query chips populate search input on click.
+- [ ] Quick action buttons navigate correctly.
+- [ ] Recent searches shown above domain guide when available.
+- [ ] All strings use i18n keys.
+- [ ] i18n keys added for all 9 supported locales (at least en-US complete; others can use en-US fallback initially).
+- [ ] Responsive layout: 2 columns on desktop, 1 column on mobile.
+- [ ] Keyboard accessible: Tab through domain cards, Enter to select example query.
+
+### G4-002 - Add contextual search suggestions based on current page
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- Extend the `AmbientContextService` to provide **suggested queries** per route context (not just domain filters):
+  1. On `/security/triage` or `/security/findings`: suggest "critical findings", "reachable vulnerabilities", "unresolved CVEs".
+  2. On `/ops/policy`: suggest "failing policy gates", "production deny rules", "policy exceptions".
+  3. On `/ops/operations/doctor`: suggest "database connectivity", "disk space", "OIDC readiness".
+  4. On `/ops/timeline`: suggest "failed deployments", "recent promotions", "release history".
+  5. On `/releases` or `/mission-control`: suggest "pending approvals", "blocked releases", "environment status".
+  6. On other routes: show generic suggestions: "How do I deploy?", "What is a VEX statement?", "Show critical findings".
+- Display these suggestions as chips below the search input when:
+  - The input is focused but empty (before the user starts typing).
+  - Displayed in a "Suggested" section with a subtle label.
+- Clicking a suggestion chip populates the input and triggers the search.
+- The dynamic placeholder text should rotate through relevant suggestions: "Search for CVEs, policy rules, health checks..." → "Try: CVE-2024-21626" → "Try: policy gate prerequisites" (rotating every 3 seconds when not focused).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `AmbientContextService` provides suggested queries per route.
+- [ ] At least 3 suggestions per route context.
+- [ ] Suggestion chips displayed below input when empty and focused.
+- [ ] Clicking a chip populates input and triggers search.
+- [ ] Dynamic placeholder text rotates through suggestions.
+- [ ] All suggestion text uses i18n keys.
+- [ ] Suggestions update when route changes.

+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend + Backend)
+Task description:
+- **Backend**: Add a `suggestions` field to the unified search response:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "suggestions": [
+      { "text": "container", "reason": "Similar to 'contaner'" },
+      { "text": "configuration", "reason": "Similar to 'configuraiton'" }
+    ]
+  }
+  ```
+  - Generate suggestions when:
+    1. FTS returns fewer than `MinFtsResultsForFuzzyFallback` results (from G5).
+    2. Trigram similarity finds terms in the index that are close to the query terms.
+    3. Return up to 3 suggestions, ordered by similarity score.
+  - Implementation location: `UnifiedSearchService.SearchAsync()` — after retrieval, before response assembly.
+- **Frontend**: In `GlobalSearchComponent`:
+  1. When `response.suggestions` is non-empty, show a "Did you mean?" bar above the results:
+     - "Did you mean: **container**?" — clickable, replaces query and re-searches.
+  2. Style: subtle background, italic text, clickable suggestion in bold.
+  3. If the user clicks a suggestion, update the input, trigger search, and add the corrected query to recent searches.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Backend returns `suggestions` array in search response.
+- [ ] Suggestions generated from trigram similarity when results are sparse.
+- [ ] Up to 3 suggestions returned, ordered by similarity.
+- [ ] Frontend shows "Did you mean?" bar.
+- [ ] Clicking suggestion replaces query and re-searches.
+- [ ] No suggestions shown when result count is healthy.

+Status: DOING
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- In `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/features/advisory-ai/chat/chat.component.ts`:
+  1. Replace the hardcoded vulnerability-specific suggestions with **role-aware dynamic suggestions**:
+     - **For all users (default)**:
+       - "What can Stella Ops do?"
+       - "How do I set up my first scan?"
+       - "Explain the release promotion workflow"
+       - "What health checks should I run first?"
+     - **When on a vulnerability detail page** (detect from route):
+       - "Is this exploitable in my environment?"
+       - "What is the remediation?"
+       - "Show me the evidence chain"
+       - "Draft a VEX statement"
+     - **When on a policy page**:
+       - "Explain this policy rule"
+       - "What would happen if I override this gate?"
+       - "Show me recent policy violations"
+       - "How do I add an exception?"
+  2. The suggestions should be context-aware, pulling from the same `AmbientContextService` route context.
+  3. All suggestion text must use i18n keys.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Default suggestions are platform-onboarding oriented.
+- [ ] Vulnerability page shows vulnerability-specific suggestions.
+- [ ] Policy page shows policy-specific suggestions.
+- [ ] Suggestions change dynamically when navigating between pages.
+- [ ] All text uses i18n keys.

+- **Decision**: The domain guide in the empty state is static content, not fetched from an API. This keeps it instant and offline-capable. Domain descriptions are i18n strings.
+- **Decision**: Suggested queries per route are hardcoded in the `AmbientContextService`, not fetched from the backend. This avoids an API call on every route change and works offline.
+- **Risk**: Rotating placeholder text may be distracting for power users. Mitigation: only rotate when the input is NOT focused. When focused, show static placeholder "Search...".
+- **Risk**: "Did you mean?" requires the trigram fuzzy matching from G5. If G5 is delayed, the UI scaffold can be built with a mock backend, and the feature enabled when G5 ships.
+- **Decision**: Chat suggestions are role-aware but not user-specific (no personalization). This keeps the feature stateless and deterministic.
+- **Decision**: Prior DONE labels were treated as provisional implementation milestones, not acceptance closure; sprint is reopened until all completion criteria have evidence.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G4-001: screenshot review of new empty state with product team.
+- After G4-002: demo contextual suggestions changing per route.
+- After G4-003: demo "Did you mean?" with typo queries.

+# Sprint 20260224_106 — Search Gap G6: Search Learning and Personalization (MODERATE)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: Every search is a cold start. The system doesn't learn from user behavior: no click-through tracking, no "most viewed" signals, no per-user relevance tuning, no query expansion based on user role or team context. The only personalization is 5 recent searches in localStorage. A frequently accessed finding that the whole team searches for daily gets the same ranking as a never-clicked result. There's no signal loop from user behavior back into ranking quality.
+- **Outcome**: Implement anonymous search analytics (click-through tracking, query frequency, zero-result queries), use engagement signals to boost popular results, add per-user search history (server-side, beyond 5 items), and implement role-based query expansion (operators see operations-biased results, security analysts see findings-biased results).
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web` (click tracking, history UI), `src/Platform/StellaOps.Platform.WebService` (user preferences for search), `docs/modules/advisory-ai`.
+- Expected evidence: analytics schema, click-through tracking integration test, popularity boost benchmark, role-based expansion test.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: Unified search must be functional (`SPRINT_20260223_098`).
+- `SPRINT_20260224_103` (G2 — live data) improves the result pool that personalization operates on. Not blocking, but personalization is more valuable with real data.
+- Safe parallelism: analytics collection (001) and role-based expansion (003) are independent. Popularity boost (002) depends on analytics data. Server-side history (004) is independent.

+
+### G6-001 - Implement search analytics collection (clicks, queries, zero-results)
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Create a `SearchAnalyticsService` in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Analytics/SearchAnalyticsService.cs`.
+- Add a PostgreSQL table `advisoryai.search_events`:
+  ```sql
+  CREATE TABLE advisoryai.search_events (
+    event_id    UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+    tenant_id   TEXT NOT NULL,
+    user_id     TEXT,  -- nullable for anonymous tracking
+    event_type  TEXT NOT NULL,  -- 'query', 'click', 'zero_result'
+    query       TEXT NOT NULL,
+    entity_key  TEXT,  -- for click events
+    domain      TEXT,  -- for click events
+    result_count INT,
+    position    INT,   -- rank position of clicked result
+    duration_ms INT,
+    created_at  TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now()
+  );
+  CREATE INDEX idx_search_events_tenant_type ON advisoryai.search_events (tenant_id, event_type, created_at);
+  CREATE INDEX idx_search_events_entity ON advisoryai.search_events (entity_key) WHERE entity_key IS NOT NULL;
+  ```
+- **Frontend**: In `GlobalSearchComponent` and `UnifiedSearchClient`:
+  1. On search execution: emit a `query` event with query text, result count, duration.
+  2. On entity card click: emit a `click` event with entity_key, domain, position.
+  3. On zero results: emit a `zero_result` event with query text.
+  4. Events sent via `POST /v1/advisory-ai/search/analytics` (fire-and-forget, non-blocking).
+- **Backend endpoint**: `POST /v1/advisory-ai/search/analytics` — accepts batch of events, validates, stores.
+- Events are **anonymous by default** (user_id only included if opted-in via user preference).
+- Events are tenant-scoped.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `search_events` table created via migration.
+- [x] `SearchAnalyticsService` stores events.
+- [x] Frontend emits query, click, and zero_result events.
+- [x] Backend endpoint accepts and stores events.
+- [x] Events are tenant-scoped.
+- [x] User ID is optional (privacy-preserving default).
+- [ ] Integration test: emit click event, verify stored.
+- [ ] Event taxonomy is consistent across analytics writes and quality metrics reads (`query`, `click`, `zero_result`) with no stale `search` event dependency.
+
+### G6-002 - Implement popularity boost from engagement signals
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: G6-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Create a `PopularitySignalProvider` that computes per-entity click frequency from `search_events`:
+  ```sql
+  SELECT entity_key, COUNT(*) as click_count
+  FROM advisoryai.search_events
+  WHERE event_type = 'click'
+    AND tenant_id = @tenant
+    AND created_at > now() - INTERVAL '30 days'
+  GROUP BY entity_key
+  ORDER BY click_count DESC
+  LIMIT 1000;
+  ```
+- Integrate into `WeightedRrfFusion.Fuse()`:
+  1. After standard RRF scoring, apply a popularity boost:
+     - `popularity_boost = log2(1 + click_count) * PopularityBoostWeight`
+     - Default `PopularityBoostWeight` = 0.05 (very gentle — should not override relevance).
+  2. The boost is additive to the existing score.
+  3. Configuration: `KnowledgeSearchOptions.PopularityBoostEnabled` (default: `false` — must opt-in to preserve determinism for testing).
+  4. Configuration: `KnowledgeSearchOptions.PopularityBoostWeight` (default: `0.05`).
+- Cache the popularity map for 5 minutes (configurable) to avoid per-query DB hits.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `PopularitySignalProvider` computes click frequency per entity (implemented in `SearchAnalyticsService.GetPopularityMapAsync`).
+- [x] Popularity boost integrated into `WeightedRrfFusion`.
+- [x] Boost is logarithmic (diminishing returns for very popular items).
+- [x] Feature flag: disabled by default.
+- [x] Cached for 5 minutes.
+- [ ] Test: entity with 100 clicks ranks higher than identical-score entity with 0 clicks (when enabled).
+- [ ] Test: with feature disabled, ranking is unchanged.
+
+### G6-003 - Implement role-based domain weight bias
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Extend `DomainWeightCalculator` to accept user roles from the request context (already available via `X-StellaOps-Scopes` or JWT claims).
+- Apply role-based domain biases:
+  - Users with `scanner:read` or `findings:read` scopes → boost `findings` domain by +0.15, `vex` by +0.10.
+  - Users with `policy:read` or `policy:write` scopes → boost `policy` domain by +0.20.
+  - Users with `ops:read` or `doctor:run` scopes → boost `knowledge` (doctor) by +0.15, `ops_memory` by +0.10.
+  - Users with `release:approve` scope → boost `policy` by +0.10, `findings` by +0.10.
+  - Biases are additive to existing domain weights from intent detection.
+- Configuration: `KnowledgeSearchOptions.RoleBasedBiasEnabled` (default: `true`).
+- The user's scopes are already parsed from headers in the endpoint middleware — pass them through to the search service.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `DomainWeightCalculator` accepts user scopes.
+- [x] Role-based biases applied per scope.
+- [x] Biases are additive to intent-based weights.
+- [x] Configuration flag exists.
+- [ ] Test: user with `scanner:read` gets findings-biased results for a generic query.
+- [ ] Test: user with `policy:write` gets policy-biased results for a generic query.
+- [ ] Test: user with no relevant scopes gets unbiased results.
+
+### G6-004 - Server-side search history (beyond localStorage)
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Add a PostgreSQL table `advisoryai.search_history`:
+  ```sql
+  CREATE TABLE advisoryai.search_history (
+    history_id  UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+    tenant_id   TEXT NOT NULL,
+    user_id     TEXT NOT NULL,
+    query       TEXT NOT NULL,
+    result_count INT,
+    searched_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now(),
+    UNIQUE(tenant_id, user_id, query)
+  );
+  ```
+  - On conflict (same user + query): update `searched_at` and `result_count`.
+  - Retain up to 50 entries per user (delete oldest on insert if over limit).
+- **Backend endpoints**:
+  - `GET /v1/advisory-ai/search/history` — returns user's recent searches (max 50, ordered by recency).
+  - `DELETE /v1/advisory-ai/search/history` — clears user's history.
+  - `DELETE /v1/advisory-ai/search/history/{historyId}` — removes single entry.
+- **Frontend**: Replace localStorage-based recent searches with server-side history:
+  1. On search execution: store query to server (fire-and-forget).
+  2. On search open (Cmd+K, empty state): fetch recent history from server.
+  3. Keep localStorage as offline fallback (sync on reconnect).
+  4. Increase display from 5 to 10 recent entries.
+  5. Add "Clear history" button.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `search_history` table created via migration.
+- [x] History endpoints exist (GET, DELETE, DELETE by ID).
+- [x] Frontend fetches history from server.
+- [x] localStorage used as offline fallback.
+- [x] Up to 50 entries per user stored server-side.
+- [x] Up to 10 entries displayed in UI.
+- [x] "Clear history" button works.
+- [ ] Integration test: search → verify history entry created → fetch history → verify query appears.
+- [ ] Search execution path is verified to persist server-side history on every successful query (no UI-only history drift).
+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search gap analysis G6 (MODERATE). | Product Manager |
+| 2026-02-24 | G6-001 DONE: Created SQL migration `005_search_analytics.sql` (search_events, search_history, search_feedback tables). Created `SearchAnalyticsService` with Npgsql for recording events, popularity maps, and history management. Created `SearchAnalyticsEndpoints` (POST /analytics, GET/DELETE /history). Registered DI in `UnifiedSearchServiceCollectionExtensions` and mapped endpoints in `Program.cs`. Frontend: added `recordAnalytics`, `getHistory`, `clearHistory`, `deleteHistoryEntry` to `UnifiedSearchClient`; added analytics emission in `GlobalSearchComponent` for query, click, and zero-result events. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G6-002 DONE: Added `PopularityBoostEnabled` (default: false) and `PopularityBoostWeight` (default: 0.05) to `KnowledgeSearchOptions`. Implemented `GetPopularityMapAsync` in `SearchAnalyticsService` with 30-day window. Extended `WeightedRrfFusion.Fuse` with optional popularityMap/popularityBoostWeight params and `ComputePopularityBoost` using `log2(1 + clickCount)`. Added 5-minute in-memory cache in `UnifiedSearchService`. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G6-003 DONE: Added `RoleBasedBiasEnabled` (default: true) to `KnowledgeSearchOptions`. Extended `DomainWeightCalculator` with `IOptions<KnowledgeSearchOptions>` injection and `ApplyRoleBasedBias` method implementing all specified scope-to-domain-weight mappings. Added `UserScopes` property to `UnifiedSearchFilter`. Added `ResolveUserScopes` helper in `UnifiedSearchEndpoints` extracting scopes from X-StellaOps-Scopes/X-Stella-Scopes headers and JWT claims, passing through to filter. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G6-004 DONE: `search_history` table included in migration. History endpoints (GET, DELETE, DELETE by ID) in `SearchAnalyticsEndpoints`. Frontend: `loadServerHistory` merges server history with localStorage on focus, `clearSearchHistory` clears both local and server. Recent searches display increased to 10 entries. "Clear" button added to recent searches header. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint reopened: statuses corrected to DOING after audit found incomplete acceptance evidence (integration tests, event taxonomy alignment, and server history persistence verification). | Project Manager |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Analytics are anonymous by default. User ID is only stored when the user explicitly opts in. This respects privacy and complies with data minimization principles.
+- **Decision**: Popularity boost is disabled by default to preserve deterministic behavior for testing and compliance. Deployments opt-in.
+- **Risk**: Click-through data can create feedback loops (popular results get more clicks → more boost → more clicks). Mitigation: logarithmic boost function and very low default weight (0.05).
+- **Risk**: Role-based bias may cause security analysts to miss operations-related search results. Mitigation: biases are small (0.10-0.20) and additive, not exclusive. All domains still return results.
+- **Decision**: Server-side history is per-user, not shared. Team-wide popular queries are handled by the popularity boost (G6-002), not by shared history.
+- **Risk**: Event taxonomy drift between analytics ingestion and metrics SQL can silently misstate quality dashboards. Mitigation: enforce shared constants and integration assertions for event types.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G6-001: demo analytics events in database after sample search session.
+- After G6-002: demo popularity-boosted ranking compared to baseline.
+- After G6-003: demo role-biased results for different user profiles.

+# Sprint 20260224_107 — Search Gap G7: Bridge Search and Chat Experiences (MODERATE)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: The global search (Cmd+K) and the Advisory AI chat are completely disconnected UI surfaces backed by separate APIs. A user who gets search results and wants to drill deeper has no path to "continue this search as a conversation." A chat user who wants to see all related results can't pivot to the search view. There's no "Ask AI about this" button on search results, and no "Show all results" link in chat responses. The two most powerful answer-seeking tools on the platform are islands that don't know about each other.
+- **Outcome**: Create bidirectional bridges between search and chat: (1) "Ask AI" action on search entity cards and synthesis panel that opens chat with the search context pre-loaded, (2) "Show all results" link in chat responses that opens global search with the query pre-filled, (3) chat context can reference and cite search results.
+- Working directory: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService` (chat context endpoint), `docs/modules/ui`.
+- Expected evidence: UI screenshots/recordings, integration tests for context passing, accessibility verification.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- No hard upstream dependency. Both search and chat are functional.
+- `SPRINT_20260224_104` (G3 — LLM synthesis) enhances the search→chat handoff by providing AI-generated context to transfer, but is not blocking.
+- Safe parallelism: search→chat bridge (001) and chat→search bridge (002) can proceed in parallel. Shared context (003) builds on both.
+- Required references:
+  - `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/layout/global-search/global-search.component.ts`

+### G7-001 - Add "Ask AI" action on search results → opens chat with context
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- **Entity card action**: Add an "Ask AI" action button (icon: AI/chat bubble) to every entity card in global search results:
+  1. The action type is `"ask_ai"`.
+  2. On click:
+     a. Close the global search panel.
+     b. Open the Advisory AI chat panel (or navigate to chat route if it's a page).
+     c. Pre-populate the chat with a system context message (invisible to user) containing the entity card details (entity_key, title, snippet, domain, severity, metadata).
+     d. Pre-populate the user input with a contextual question:
+        - For findings: "Tell me about this vulnerability and its impact"
+        - For VEX: "Explain this VEX assessment"
+        - For policy: "Explain this policy rule and its implications"
+        - For docs: "Summarize this documentation section"
+        - For doctor: "What does this health check mean and what should I do?"
+     e. Auto-send the message so the user immediately gets a response.
+     f. Ensure route/panel activation consumes `openChat=true` (or equivalent) so chat reliably opens after navigation.
+- **Synthesis panel action**: Add an "Ask AI for more details" button at the bottom of the synthesis panel:
+  1. On click: open chat with the full search query and all result summaries as context.
+  2. Pre-populate: "I searched for '{query}' and got these results. Can you help me understand them in detail?"
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] "Ask AI" button appears on every entity card in search results.
+- [ ] Clicking "Ask AI" closes search and opens chat.
+- [ ] Chat receives entity context (entity_key, title, domain, severity, snippet).
+- [ ] User input pre-populated with domain-specific question.
+- [ ] Message auto-sent on chat open.
+- [ ] Route-level chat activation is deterministic (`openChat` or equivalent is consumed by the target chat host).
+- [ ] Synthesis panel has "Ask AI for more details" button.
+- [ ] Chat receives all search results as context when triggered from synthesis.
+- [ ] Keyboard accessible: "Ask AI" reachable via Tab.
+
+### G7-002 - Add "Show all results" link in chat responses → opens search
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- In `ChatMessageComponent`, when a chat response contains object link citations:
+  1. Add a "Search for more" link at the bottom of the citations section.
+  2. On click: open global search (Cmd+K) with the query pre-filled based on the chat context:
+     - If the chat message references a CVE → search for that CVE ID.
+     - If the chat message references a policy rule → search for that rule ID.
+     - Otherwise → search for the user's original question text.
+  3. The search input gains focus and results are fetched immediately.
+- In `ChatMessageComponent`, for each object link chip (SBOM, finding, VEX, etc.):
+  1. Add a secondary action (right-click or long-press): "Search related" → opens global search filtered to that entity's domain.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] "Search for more" link appears below citations in chat responses.
+- [ ] Clicking opens global search with pre-filled query.
+- [ ] Query derived from chat context (CVE ID, rule ID, or question text).
+- [ ] Object link chips have "Search related" secondary action.
+- [ ] "Search related" filters to relevant domain.
+- [ ] Keyboard accessible.
+
+### G7-003 - Create shared SearchChatContext service for bidirectional state
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: G7-001, G7-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- Create `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/core/services/search-chat-context.service.ts`:
+  1. A singleton Angular service that holds transient state between search and chat.
+  2. Properties:
+     - `searchToChat`: `{ query: string, entityCards: EntityCard[], synthesis: SynthesisResult | null }` — set when user transitions from search to chat.
+     - `chatToSearch`: `{ query: string, domain?: string, entityKey?: string }` — set when user transitions from chat to search.
+  3. The state is consumed once (cleared after the target component reads it), preventing stale context.
+- Update `ChatService.createConversation()`:
+  1. If `searchToChat` context exists, include it in the conversation creation request as `initialContext`.
+  2. The backend (if it supports initial context) uses this to prime the conversation. If not, the context is included as the first system message.
+- Update `GlobalSearchComponent.onOpen()`:
+  1. If `chatToSearch` context exists, pre-fill the search input and trigger search.
+- Wire call sites explicitly:
+  1. `SearchChatContextService.consumeSearchToChat()` is called by the chat host/page on open.
+  2. `SearchChatContextService.consumeChatToSearch()` is called by global search open/focus flow.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `SearchChatContextService` exists as singleton.
+- [ ] Search→chat transition carries entity cards and synthesis.
+- [ ] Chat→search transition carries query and domain filter.
+- [ ] Context consumed once (no stale state).
+- [ ] Chat conversation created with search context when available.
+- [ ] Search pre-filled with chat context when available.
+- [ ] Both consume methods are wired into real call sites (no orphan service methods).
+- [ ] Integration test: search for CVE → click "Ask AI" → chat opens with CVE context → chat responds with reference to the CVE.
+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search gap analysis G7 (MODERATE). | Product Manager |
+| 2026-02-24 | Scope clarified from implementation audit: added explicit criteria for route-level `openChat` consumption and real call-site wiring for `SearchChatContextService` consume methods. | Project Manager |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: The context bridge is frontend-only (no new backend API required for the basic bridge). Chat context is passed as initial message content.
+- **Decision**: "Ask AI" auto-sends the message to reduce friction. The user doesn't have to press Enter — the conversation starts immediately.
+- **Risk**: Auto-sending may surprise users who wanted to edit the pre-filled question. Mitigation: show a brief animation (1 second) with "Asking AI..." before sending, giving the user a chance to cancel.
+- **Risk**: Large search result sets (10+ entity cards) passed as chat context may produce long initial messages. Mitigation: limit context to top 5 results + synthesis summary.
+- **Decision**: The shared context service is transient (not persisted). Refreshing the page clears the bridge state. This is acceptable for in-session navigation.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G7-001: demo search → "Ask AI" → chat flow.
+- After G7-002: demo chat → "Search for more" → search flow.
+- After G7-003: demo round-trip: search → chat → search with preserved context.

+# Sprint 20260224_108 — Search Gap G8: Inline Result Previews and Direct Answers (MODERATE)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: Search results show a 2-line snippet with ellipsis truncation. For documentation results, the user must navigate away from the search panel to read the actual content. For API results, there's no preview of the endpoint signature, request/response schema, or curl example. For findings, there's no inline severity/reachability summary. Users must click through 5+ results to find the right one, creating high friction and context switching. Modern search experiences (Notion, Algolia, Confluence, GitHub) show rich inline previews with code blocks, tables, and direct answers without leaving the search panel.
+- **Outcome**: Add expandable rich previews to entity cards in the global search results. Documentation results show the full section content with markdown rendering. API results show the endpoint signature, parameters, and example curl. Finding results show a severity/reachability/VEX summary card. Doctor results show symptoms, remediation steps, and run command. Previews expand inline without navigating away from search.
+- Working directory: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService` (extended result payload), `docs/modules/ui`.
+- Expected evidence: UI screenshots, accessibility tests, performance verification (preview rendering latency).
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- No hard upstream dependency.
+- The backend may need to return extended snippet content (currently truncated to 320 chars). This requires a minor backend change.
+- Safe parallelism: docs preview (002), API preview (003), and finding/doctor preview (004) can be developed in parallel after the expandable scaffold (001).
+- Required references:
+  - `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/shared/components/entity-card/entity-card.component.ts`

+### G8-001 - Add expandable preview scaffold to entity cards
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- In `EntityCardComponent`:
+  1. Add an expand/collapse toggle (chevron icon) on the right side of each card.
+  2. When expanded, show a `preview` section below the snippet:
+     - The preview area has a maximum height of 400px with scroll.
+     - Smooth expand/collapse animation (200ms ease-in-out).
+     - Background slightly different from card body for visual distinction.
+  3. Keyboard: press `Space` or `Right Arrow` on a focused card to expand preview. `Left Arrow` or `Escape` to collapse.
+  4. Only one card can be expanded at a time (accordion behavior). Expanding a new card collapses the previous.
+  5. The preview content is provided by the entity card's `preview` field (new optional field in the model).
+- Update `EntityCard` TypeScript model:
+  ```typescript
+  interface EntityCard {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+    preview?: EntityCardPreview;
+  }
+
+  interface EntityCardPreview {
+    contentType: 'markdown' | 'code' | 'structured';

+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Expand/collapse toggle on entity cards.
+- [x] Smooth animation for expand/collapse.
+- [x] Accordion behavior (one at a time).

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search gap analysis G8 (MODERATE). | Product Manager |
+| 2026-02-24 | G8-001 DONE: Added `EntityCardPreview` interface to TS models; updated `EntityCardComponent` with expand/collapse toggle, preview rendering (markdown/code/structured), `expandedInput` signal, `toggleExpand` output, ARIA attributes, 200ms animation, 400px max-height scroll; updated `GlobalSearchComponent` with `expandedCardKey` signal for accordion behavior. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G8-002 DONE: Backend `BuildPreview` in `UnifiedSearchService` generates markdown preview for `md_section` chunks (body truncated to 2000 chars); frontend renders via `renderSimpleMarkdown` (bold, italic, code, fenced code blocks, line breaks). | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G8-003 DONE: Backend generates structured preview for `api_operation` chunks with Method, Path, Service, Operation, Summary fields and curl example; frontend renders structured fields + code block. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G8-004 DONE: Backend generates structured preview for `finding` chunks (CVE ID, severity, package, reachability, VEX status, policy) and `doctor_check` chunks (severity, check code, symptoms, remediation, run command, control). Added 7 new unit tests covering all preview types and truncation. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Previews are lazy-loaded — the extended content is included in the search response but only rendered when the user expands a card. This avoids rendering cost for all cards.
+- **Decision**: Accordion behavior (one preview at a time) keeps the results list scannable and prevents the dropdown from becoming overwhelmingly long.
+- **Risk**: Including full section bodies in search responses increases payload size. Mitigation: cap at 2000 chars per preview; compress responses.
+- **Risk**: Rendering markdown and code blocks in a dropdown may cause layout issues. Mitigation: restrict preview to simple markdown (no images, no iframes, no external resources).
+- **Decision**: Curl examples use `$STELLAOPS_API_BASE` and `$TOKEN` variables rather than hardcoded URLs, matching the existing copy-curl behavior.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G8-001: demo expandable card scaffold with placeholder content.
+- After G8-002: demo documentation preview with real markdown rendering.
+- After G8-003: demo API preview with curl example and copy button.

+# Sprint 20260224_109 — Search Gap G9: Multilingual Search Intelligence (MINOR)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: The i18n system supports 9 locales (en-US, de-DE, bg-BG, ru-RU, es-ES, fr-FR, uk-UA, zh-TW, zh-CN), but the search intelligence layer is English-only. Query processing (tokenization, intent classification, entity extraction) uses English patterns. FTS uses the `simple` text search config (or `english` after G5) with no multi-language support. Doctor check descriptions, remediation text, synthesis templates, and chat suggestions are all English-only. Intent keywords ("deploy", "troubleshoot", "fix") only work in English. A German-speaking user searching "Sicherheitslücke" (vulnerability) gets zero results even though the UI labels are in German.
+- **Outcome**: Add multi-language FTS configurations for supported locales, extend intent classification with multilingual keyword sets, localize doctor check descriptions and synthesis templates, and implement query-language detection to select the appropriate FTS config dynamically.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web` (localized suggestions), `docs/modules/advisory-ai`.
+- Expected evidence: multilingual FTS tests, localized intent classification tests, query language detection accuracy test.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: `SPRINT_20260224_101` (G5 — FTS english config) should be complete first, as this sprint extends the FTS config approach to multiple languages.
+- Safe parallelism: FTS configs (001) and intent localization (002) can proceed in parallel. Doctor localization (003) is independent. Language detection (004) depends on 001.
+- Required references:
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore.cs` — FTS queries
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/QueryUnderstanding/IntentClassifier.cs` — intent keywords
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/Synthesis/SynthesisTemplateEngine.cs` — templates
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/doctor-search-seed.json` — doctor descriptions
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `docs/modules/advisory-ai/knowledge-search.md`
+- `docs/code-of-conduct/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`
+- PostgreSQL documentation on text search configurations: `german`, `french`, `spanish`, `russian` are built-in.

+### G9-001 - Add multi-language FTS configurations and tsvector columns
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: SPRINT_20260224_101 (G5-001 — FTS english migration)
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Create a migration that adds FTS tsvector columns for each supported language that PostgreSQL has a built-in text search config for:
+  - `body_tsv_de` using `to_tsvector('german', ...)`
+  - `body_tsv_fr` using `to_tsvector('french', ...)`
+  - `body_tsv_es` using `to_tsvector('spanish', ...)`
+  - `body_tsv_ru` using `to_tsvector('russian', ...)`
+  - For `bg-BG`, `uk-UA`, `zh-TW`, `zh-CN`: PostgreSQL has no built-in configs. Use `simple` config for these locales (no stemming, but at least tokenization works). Consider `pg_jieba` extension for Chinese in a future sprint.
+- Add GIN indexes on each new tsvector column.
+- Update `KnowledgeIndexer.RebuildAsync()` to populate all tsvector columns during index rebuild.
+- Add a mapping in `KnowledgeSearchOptions`:
+  ```
+  FtsLanguageConfigs:
+    en-US: english
+    de-DE: german
+    fr-FR: french
+    es-ES: spanish
+    ru-RU: russian
+    bg-BG: simple
+    uk-UA: simple
+    zh-TW: simple
+    zh-CN: simple
+  ```
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Migration creates tsvector columns for de, fr, es, ru.
+- [x] GIN indexes created.
+- [x] Indexer populates all tsvector columns on rebuild.
+- [x] Language config mapping exists in options.
+- [ ] Test: German tsvector stemming works ("Sicherheitslücken" -> "Sicherheitslück").
+
+### G9-002 - Localize intent classification keyword sets
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- In `IntentClassifier.cs`:
+  0. Normalize keyword resource encoding to UTF-8 and replace any mojibake examples in source/docs before functional validation.
+  1. Extract the current English keyword sets into a localizable resource file or dictionary.
+  2. Add equivalent keyword sets for each supported locale:
+     - **Navigate intent** (en: "go to", "open", "show me", "find"):
+       - de: "gehe zu", "öffne", "zeige mir", "finde"
+       - fr: "aller à", "ouvrir", "montre-moi", "trouver"
+       - es: "ir a", "abrir", "muéstrame", "buscar"
+       - ru: "перейти", "открыть", "покажи", "найти"
+     - **Troubleshoot intent** (en: "fix", "error", "failing", "broken", "debug"):
+       - de: "beheben", "Fehler", "fehlgeschlagen", "kaputt", "debuggen"
+       - fr: "corriger", "erreur", "échoué", "cassé", "déboguer"
+       - es: "arreglar", "error", "fallando", "roto", "depurar"
+       - ru: "исправить", "ошибка", "сбой", "сломан", "отладка"
+     - Similarly for explore and compare intents.
+  3. Select keyword set based on detected query language or user's locale preference.
+  4. If language is unknown, try all keyword sets and use the one with the highest match count.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Keyword sets extracted to localizable resource.
+- [x] At least en, de, fr, es, ru keyword sets defined.
+- [x] Intent classifier uses locale-appropriate keywords.
+- [x] Fallback: try all locales when language unknown.
+- [ ] Keyword resources are UTF-8 clean (no mojibake) for de/fr/es/ru terms.
+- [ ] Test: "Fehler beheben" (German for "fix error") -> troubleshoot intent.
+- [ ] Test: "corriger l'erreur" (French for "fix error") -> troubleshoot intent.
+
+### G9-003 - Localize doctor check descriptions and synthesis templates
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer, Documentation Author
+Task description:
+- **Doctor checks**: Create locale-specific variants of `doctor-search-seed.json`:
+  - `doctor-search-seed.de.json`, `doctor-search-seed.fr.json`, etc.
+  - Each contains the same check codes but with localized titles, descriptions, remediation text, and symptoms.
+  - If a locale-specific file doesn't exist, fall back to English.
+  - The indexer should ingest the locale-specific doctor metadata alongside English, creating separate chunks tagged with locale.
+- **Synthesis templates**: In `SynthesisTemplateEngine.cs`:
+  1. Extract template strings to a localizable resource.
+  2. Add localized templates for supported locales.
+  3. Select template based on user's locale (from `Accept-Language` header or user preference).
+  4. Fallback: English if locale template doesn't exist.
+- **Priority**: Start with de-DE and fr-FR as the two most-requested locales. Other locales can follow.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Locale-specific doctor seed files exist for at least de-DE and fr-FR.
+- [ ] Indexer ingests locale-specific doctor metadata.
+- [x] Synthesis templates localized for at least de-DE and fr-FR.
+- [x] Locale selection based on user preference or Accept-Language.
+- [x] English fallback for missing locales.
+- [ ] Test: German user gets German doctor check descriptions.
+- [ ] Test: French user gets French synthesis summaries.
+
+### G9-004 - Implement query language detection and FTS config routing
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: G9-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Add a lightweight query language detector in `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/UnifiedSearch/QueryUnderstanding/QueryLanguageDetector.cs`:
+  1. Use character set analysis:
+     - Cyrillic characters -> ru-RU or uk-UA or bg-BG.
+     - CJK characters -> zh-CN or zh-TW.
+     - Latin characters with diacritics patterns -> attempt to distinguish de/fr/es.
+  2. Use a small stop-word list per language (top 20 stop words each) for disambiguation among Latin-script languages.
+  3. Fallback to user's locale preference from `Accept-Language` header or `X-StellaOps-Locale`.
+  4. Ultimate fallback: `english` (the best FTS config for unknown languages).
+- In `PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore.SearchFtsAsync()`:
+  1. Accept a `locale` parameter.
+  2. Select the appropriate tsvector column and tsquery config based on detected language.
+  3. Use `websearch_to_tsquery(@config, @query)` with the detected config.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `QueryLanguageDetector` detects language from query text.
+- [x] Cyrillic -> Russian/Ukrainian/Bulgarian.
+- [x] CJK -> Chinese.
+- [x] Latin + stop words -> English/German/French/Spanish.
+- [x] Fallback to user locale, then to English.
+- [x] `SearchFtsAsync` uses detected language for FTS config.
+- [ ] Test: "Sicherheitslücke" -> german FTS config used.
+- [ ] Test: "vulnerability" -> english FTS config used.
+- [ ] Test: "уязвимость" -> russian FTS config used.

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search gap analysis G9 (MINOR). | Product Manager |
+| 2026-02-24 | G9-001: Created migration `007_multilingual_fts.sql` with idempotent tsvector columns (de, fr, es, ru) and GIN indexes. Added `FtsLanguageConfigs` dictionary to `KnowledgeSearchOptions`. Updated `InsertChunksAsync` in `PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore` to populate all multilingual tsvector columns on index rebuild. Added `ResolveFtsConfigAndColumn` helper and `locale` parameter to `SearchFtsAsync` in both interface and implementation. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G9-002: Created `MultilingualIntentKeywords.cs` with localized keyword dictionaries for navigate, troubleshoot, explore, and compare intents across en, de, fr, es, ru. Updated `IntentClassifier.Classify()` to accept optional `languageCode` parameter, use locale-specific keywords when provided, and fall back to trying all locales when language is unknown. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G9-003: Refactored `SynthesisTemplateEngine` to use `LocalizedTemplateStrings` with localized dictionaries for en, de, fr, es, ru. Added `locale` parameter to `Synthesize()` method. Template string resolution falls back to English for unknown locales. Doctor seed localization deferred (content authoring effort). | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | G9-004: Created `QueryLanguageDetector.cs` with character-set analysis (Cyrillic, CJK), stop-word frequency analysis for Latin-script languages, and diacritics detection. Provides `DetectLanguage()`, `MapLanguageToFtsConfig()`, `MapLanguageToTsvColumn()`, and `MapLanguageToLocale()` methods. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Doctor seed localization DONE: Created `doctor-search-seed.de.json` (German) and `doctor-search-seed.fr.json` (French) with professional translations of all 8 doctor checks (title, description, remediation, symptoms). Updated `.csproj` for copy-to-output. Added `DoctorSearchSeedLoader.LoadLocalized()` method and extended `KnowledgeIndexer.IngestDoctorAsync()` to index locale-tagged chunks for de/fr alongside English chunks. | Developer |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint reopened: statuses corrected to DOING after audit found encoding corruption (mojibake) and missing multilingual verification evidence in completion criteria. | Project Manager |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Multiple tsvector columns (one per language) rather than a single column with runtime config switching. This is more storage-intensive but avoids re-indexing when language changes and allows cross-language search in the future.
+- **Risk**: Doctor check localization is a significant content authoring effort. Mitigation: start with de-DE and fr-FR only; other locales use English fallback.
+- **Risk**: Query language detection from short queries (2-3 words) is unreliable. Mitigation: prioritize user locale preference over detection; detection is only used when locale is not set.
+- **Decision**: Chinese text search uses `simple` config initially. Proper Chinese tokenization requires `pg_jieba` or similar, which is a non-trivial dependency. Defer to a future sprint.
+- **Risk**: Adding tsvector columns for 5 languages increases storage by ~5x for the tsvector data. For the current knowledge base size (thousands of chunks), this is negligible (<10MB). Monitor if the index grows significantly.
+- **Decision** (G9-003): Doctor seed file localization completed as follow-up: `doctor-search-seed.de.json` and `doctor-search-seed.fr.json` created with full translations. Indexer extended with locale-tagged chunk ingestion. Synthesis template localization is complete for en, de, fr, es, ru.
+- **Decision** (G9-002): `IntentClassifier.Classify()` now accepts an optional `languageCode` parameter (default null). This is backward-compatible: existing callers that pass no language get the same English-first behavior with multilingual fallback.
+- **Decision** (G9-004): `IKnowledgeSearchStore.SearchFtsAsync()` now accepts an optional `locale` parameter (default null). Backward-compatible: existing callers without locale get the default `FtsLanguageConfig` behavior.
+- **Risk**: Corrupted localized keyword payloads can break intent detection for non-English users and silently degrade newcomer experience. Mitigation: enforce UTF-8 validation in tests and CI.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G9-001: demo German FTS stemming on German text.
+- After G9-002: demo multilingual intent classification with UTF-8 keyword fixtures.
+- After G9-004: demo query language detection routing.
+- Follow-up: validate doctor seed localization behavior for de-DE and fr-FR in targeted integration tests.
+- Follow-up: complete targeted multilingual FTS/intent/language-detection evidence and attach run outputs.

+# Sprint 20260224_110 — Search Gap G10: Search Feedback and Quality Improvement Loop (MINOR)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- **Gap**: There is no mechanism for users to signal whether search results were helpful. No "Was this helpful?" prompt, no thumbs up/down on results, no zero-result query surfacing to operators, no way to report bad or irrelevant results. Without a feedback loop, the search system operates blind — it cannot distinguish between queries that perfectly satisfy users and queries that produce garbage rankings. Zero-result queries (which indicate vocabulary gaps in the index) are invisible. Operators have no dashboard to monitor search quality or identify improvement opportunities.
+- **Outcome**: Add result-level feedback (thumbs up/down), zero-result alert surfacing, a search quality dashboard for operators, and a query refinement suggestion mechanism powered by the feedback data.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web` (feedback UI), `docs/modules/advisory-ai`.
+- Expected evidence: feedback schema, UI integration tests, dashboard wireframe, zero-result alerting tests.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- `SPRINT_20260224_106` (G6 — analytics collection) provides the `search_events` table that this sprint extends. If G6 is not complete, this sprint can create its own feedback table independently.
+- Safe parallelism: feedback collection (001), zero-result alerting (002), and quality dashboard (003) can proceed in parallel.
+- Required references:

+### G10-003 - Search quality dashboard for operators
+Status: DOING
+Dependency: G10-001, G10-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- Create a new page at `/ops/operations/search-quality` (add to operations navigation).
+- The dashboard shows:
+  1. **Summary metrics** (top row, 4 cards):
+     - Total searches (last 24h / 7d / 30d).
+     - Zero-result rate (percentage).
+     - Average result count per query.
+     - Feedback score (% helpful out of total feedback).
+  2. **Zero-result queries** (table):
+     - Query text, occurrence count, first seen, last seen, status.
+     - Action buttons: "Acknowledge", "Resolve" (with comment).
+     - Sortable by occurrence count and recency.
+  3. **Low-quality results** (table):
+     - Entity key, domain, negative feedback count, total feedback, negative rate.
+     - Helps identify specific results that consistently disappoint users.
+  4. **Top queries** (table):
+     - Most frequent queries with average result count and feedback score.
+     - Helps identify what users search for most.
+  5. **Trend chart** (line graph):
+     - Daily search count, zero-result rate, and feedback score over last 30 days.
+- Data fetched from:
+  - `GET /v1/advisory-ai/search/quality/alerts` (zero-result alerts)
+  - `GET /v1/advisory-ai/search/quality/metrics` (new endpoint — aggregate metrics)
+- Requires `advisory-ai:admin` scope to access.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Dashboard page exists at `/ops/operations/search-quality` (search-quality-dashboard.component.ts).
+- [x] Added to operations navigation menu (navigation.config.ts + operations.routes.ts).
+- [x] Summary metrics cards display (total searches, zero-result rate, avg results, feedback score).
+- [x] Zero-result queries table with acknowledge/resolve actions.
+- [ ] Low-quality results table with feedback data (deferred: requires additional backend aggregation query).
+- [ ] Top queries table (deferred: requires additional backend aggregation query).
+- [ ] Trend chart for 30-day history (deferred: requires time-series endpoint).
+- [ ] Metric cards validated against raw event samples; total-search count and zero-result rate match source analytics events.
+- [x] Requires admin scope (advisory-ai:admin in nav config).
+- [x] Responsive layout (grid collapses on mobile).

+### G10-004 - Query refinement suggestions from feedback data
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: G10-002
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- When a zero-result or low-result query is detected, attempt to suggest refinements:
+  1. Check if a resolved zero-result alert exists for a similar query (using trigram similarity from G5). If yes, suggest the resolution's query.
+  2. Check the `search_history` table (from G6) for successful queries (result_count > 0) that are similar to the current query. Suggest the closest successful query.
+  3. Check for entity aliases: if the query matches a known alias in `advisoryai.entity_alias`, suggest the canonical entity key as a query.
+- Return suggestions in the search response:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "refinements": [
+      { "text": "policy gate prerequisites", "source": "resolved_alert" },
+      { "text": "release gate", "source": "similar_successful_query" }
+    ]
+  }
+  ```
+- **Frontend**: Show refinements below "Did you mean?" (from G4-003) as a separate "Try also:" section.
+  - "Try also: **policy gate prerequisites**, **release gate**"
+  - Clickable: replaces query and re-searches.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Resolved alerts provide refinement suggestions (via `SearchQualityMonitor.GetAlertsAsync` + in-memory trigram similarity).
+- [x] Successful similar queries provide suggestions (via `SearchAnalyticsService.FindSimilarSuccessfulQueriesAsync` using pg_trgm `similarity()`).
+- [x] Entity aliases provide suggestions (via `IEntityAliasService.ResolveAliasesAsync`).
+- [x] Refinements returned in search response (`SearchRefinement` record, `UnifiedSearchApiRefinement` DTO, mapped in `UnifiedSearchEndpoints`).
+- [x] Frontend renders "Try also:" section (blue/sky chip bar below "Did you mean?" in `global-search.component.ts`).
+- [x] Clicking refinement replaces query and re-searches (`applyRefinement` method).
+- [x] Test: integration tests cover refinement generation flow.

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Feedback is anonymous by default (user_id optional). This encourages more feedback by reducing friction.
+- **Decision**: The quality dashboard is admin-only. Regular users should not see aggregate search quality metrics.
+- **Risk**: Users may not provide feedback without incentive. Mitigation: make the feedback interaction minimal (single click), show it on every result, and display "Thanks" acknowledgment.
+- **Risk**: Negative feedback may not distinguish between "irrelevant result" and "result was relevant but not helpful for my specific question." Mitigation: the optional comment field allows users to explain; the comment data is available in the dashboard.
+- **Decision**: Feedback data is NOT used for automatic ranking changes (that's G6-002 popularity boost). This sprint focuses on visibility and manual quality improvement. Automated feedback-to-ranking integration is deferred.
+- **Risk**: The search quality dashboard adds a new page and navigation item. Ensure it's behind the admin scope gate so non-admin users don't see an empty or confusing page.
+- **Risk**: Metrics-card math can appear healthy while being wrong if analytics event taxonomy is inconsistent between writer and reader queries. Mitigation: reconcile taxonomy in SQL and add integration checks against raw event samples.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After G10-001: demo feedback submission on search results.
+- After G10-002: demo zero-result alerting after simulated traffic.
+- After G10-003: design review of dashboard layout with product team.

+# Sprint 20260224_111 - Advisory AI Chat Contract and Runtime Hardening
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Close high-impact chat reliability gaps discovered in search-to-chat integration review: request contract mismatch, placeholder conversation responses, and duplicate endpoint behavior.
+- Align chat behavior so users unfamiliar with Stella Ops get deterministic, grounded assistant responses regardless of which chat entrypoint is used.
+- Working directory: `src/AdvisoryAI`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web` (chat client request mapping), `docs/modules/advisory-ai` (API/behavior docs).
+- Expected evidence: endpoint contract diff, integration tests for add-turn behavior, authorization matrix, deprecation compatibility notes.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: `SPRINT_20260224_107_FE_search_chat_bridge.md` for frontend bridge behavior.
+- Upstream: `SPRINT_20260223_100_AdvisoryAI_unified_search_polish_analytics_deprecation.md` for shared analytics/security conventions.
+- Safe parallelism: contract compatibility work (001) can run in parallel with endpoint-surface/auth cleanup (003). Runtime replacement (002) depends on contract freeze from 001.
+- Required references:
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService/Program.cs`
+  - `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService/Endpoints/ChatEndpoints.cs`

+### CHAT-111-001 - Canonicalize add-turn request contract with compatibility shim
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Define one canonical add-turn payload field for chat user input: `content`.
+- Preserve temporary compatibility by accepting legacy `message` input for one deprecation window and mapping it to `content`.
+- Emit structured warning telemetry when legacy payloads are used so migration progress is measurable.
+- Update frontend chat client calls and OpenAPI docs to match the canonical contract.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Canonical add-turn contract is `content` across chat endpoints.
+- [ ] Legacy `message` payload is accepted only via explicit compatibility mapping.
+- [ ] Compatibility use is logged/telemetered with tenant and endpoint context.
+- [ ] OpenAPI and docs reflect canonical contract and migration timeline.
+- [ ] Frontend chat client payloads are aligned with canonical field names.
+
+### CHAT-111-002 - Replace placeholder conversation responses with grounded runtime path
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: CHAT-111-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer
+Task description:
+- Remove placeholder assistant response behavior from conversation turn handling.
+- Route conversation turn execution to the same grounded assistant runtime used by the primary chat gateway (or deterministic fallback when LLM is unavailable).
+- Ensure fallback behavior is explicit, non-deceptive, and consistent with offline-first posture.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Conversation add-turn path no longer emits placeholder responses.
+- [ ] Runtime path uses grounded response generation with existing safeguards.
+- [ ] Offline or provider-unavailable path returns deterministic fallback output with explicit metadata.
+- [ ] Response behavior is consistent across conversation and chat gateway entrypoints.
+- [ ] Integration tests cover success, fallback, and error paths.
+
+### CHAT-111-003 - Normalize chat endpoint surfaces and authorization behavior
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: CHAT-111-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer, Security Reviewer
+Task description:
+- Define canonical chat API surface and mark duplicate/legacy endpoints with deprecation headers and timeline.
+- Harmonize scope checks and policy gates so equivalent chat operations enforce equivalent authorization.
+- Update API docs and runbooks so operators understand which route family is canonical and which is transitional.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Canonical chat endpoint family is documented and implemented.
+- [ ] Legacy/duplicate endpoint family has deprecation headers and sunset plan.
+- [ ] Authorization scope behavior is consistent across equivalent chat operations.
+- [ ] Endpoint auth/scope docs are updated and traceable.
+- [ ] Backward compatibility behavior is tested for migration window.
+
+### CHAT-111-004 - Tier-2 API verification and migration evidence
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: CHAT-111-002, CHAT-111-003
+Owners: QA / Test Automation
+Task description:
+- Execute targeted Tier-2 API verification for chat turn submission and response correctness using real HTTP requests.
+- Capture before/after evidence for contract mismatch handling, placeholder-removal behavior, and auth parity.
+- Add deterministic regression tests for payload compatibility, canonical-path behavior, and deprecation signaling.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Tier-2 API evidence includes raw request/response samples for canonical and legacy payloads.
+- [ ] Regression tests validate `content` canonical handling and legacy `message` mapping.
+- [ ] Regression tests verify no placeholder responses are returned.
+- [ ] Regression tests verify auth parity across endpoint surfaces.
+- [ ] Evidence is logged in sprint execution notes with test command outputs.

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search+assistant gap audit for chat contract/runtime hardening. | Project Manager |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: `content` is the canonical chat input field; `message` remains temporary compatibility only.
+- Decision: Placeholder assistant responses are not acceptable for production paths and must be replaced with grounded or explicit deterministic fallback output.
+- Risk: Tightening contracts can break older clients. Mitigation: compatibility shim + deprecation telemetry + explicit sunset timeline.
+- Risk: Endpoint-surface consolidation may affect existing permission assumptions. Mitigation: auth matrix tests and updated endpoint docs before sunset.
+- Decision: Cross-module edits are explicitly allowed only for chat-client contract alignment and documentation sync.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After CHAT-111-001: review canonical payload contract and migration plan.
+- After CHAT-111-002: demonstrate non-placeholder conversation responses in API verification run.
+- After CHAT-111-003: publish endpoint/scope parity matrix and deprecation timeline.
+- After CHAT-111-004: attach Tier-2 API evidence and close migration readiness gate.

+# Sprint 20260224_112 - FE Assistant Entry and Search Reliability
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Close frontend reliability gaps that reduce trust for newcomers: assistant surface discoverability, route mismatches from search actions, and silent fallback from unified search to legacy behavior.
+- Ensure search and assistant transitions are explicit, predictable, and understandable for first-time operators.
+- Working directory: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web`.
+- Explicit cross-module edits authorized: `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService` (fallback signal contract if needed), `docs/modules/ui`.

+Status: TODO
+Dependency: `SPRINT_20260224_107` G7-001
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- Ensure assistant UI is reachable from the main shell (route or panel) and not hidden behind QA-only workbench wiring.
+- Wire navigation intent (`openChat=true` or equivalent state) so search-triggered assistant handoff always opens the chat surface.
+- Ensure keyboard-only users can reach and activate the same flow deterministically.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Assistant surface is mounted in primary app routing/shell.
+- [ ] `openChat` (or equivalent) is consumed by the assistant host and opens chat deterministically.
+- [ ] Search-to-chat navigation works from entity-card and synthesis actions.
+- [ ] Keyboard and focus behavior are accessible and deterministic.
+- [ ] Route-level tests cover assistant activation from search handoff.
+
+### FE-112-002 - Normalize search result action routes (including docs navigation)
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- Audit search result action routes emitted from unified search entity cards and quick actions.
+- Normalize action routing so every route points to a real frontend route; add explicit mapping where backend routes differ from Angular route table.
+- Fix docs action navigation so knowledge/doc actions land on a valid docs viewer path with anchor support (or deterministic fallback).
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Route/action matrix exists for all unified-search action kinds used in UI.
+- [ ] No result action navigates to a non-existent frontend route.
+- [ ] Docs-related actions resolve to valid docs UI route with anchor handling.
+- [ ] Fallback behavior is explicit for unsupported/legacy routes.
+- [ ] Integration tests cover at least one action per domain (knowledge/findings/policy/vex/platform).
+
+### FE-112-003 - Expose degraded-mode UX when unified search falls back to legacy
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer / Implementer (Frontend)
+Task description:
+- When unified search request fails and legacy fallback is used, show explicit degraded-mode state in the search UI.
+- Explain functional limitations of fallback results (reduced coverage, no synthesis parity, potential ranking differences) in concise operator language.
+- Emit telemetry when degraded mode is entered/exited so reliability issues are visible.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] UI displays explicit degraded-mode indicator during fallback.
+- [ ] Degraded-mode copy explains user-visible limitations and recovery guidance.
+- [ ] Indicator clears automatically when unified search recovers.
+- [ ] Degraded-mode transitions emit telemetry events.
+- [ ] UX copy is internationalization-ready.
+
+### FE-112-004 - Tier-2 newcomer flow verification (search -> ask AI -> refine -> act)
+Status: TODO
+Dependency: FE-112-001, FE-112-002, FE-112-003
+Owners: QA / Test Automation
+Task description:
+- Add targeted Playwright flows that emulate a newcomer journey:
+  1. Open global search with no prior context.
+  2. Pick a suggested query and open a result.
+  3. Trigger assistant handoff from search.
+  4. Return to search via chat "search more" behavior.
+  5. Execute a concrete action from a validated route.
+- Capture evidence for both healthy unified mode and degraded fallback mode.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Playwright flow validates healthy newcomer journey end-to-end.
+- [ ] Playwright flow validates degraded-mode visibility and recovery.
+- [ ] Route/action assertions prevent dead-link regressions.
+- [ ] Accessibility checks cover focus/order during handoff and return.
+- [ ] Evidence artifacts are linked in sprint execution log.

+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-02-24 | Sprint created from search+assistant gap audit for frontend reliability and newcomer trust. | Project Manager |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: silent fallback is not acceptable UX; degraded mode must be explicitly signaled.
+- Decision: assistant handoff behavior must be route-deterministic and keyboard-accessible.
+- Risk: route normalization can expose hidden backend/frontend contract drift. Mitigation: explicit route/action matrix and integration tests.
+- Risk: degraded-mode messaging can be noisy if fallback flaps. Mitigation: debounce transitions and instrument enter/exit events.
+- Decision: cross-module edits are restricted to minimal backend signal additions and docs sync.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- After FE-112-001: demo reliable assistant opening from search actions.
+- After FE-112-002: review route/action matrix with platform and UI owners.
+- After FE-112-003: UX review of degraded-mode copy and behavior.
+- After FE-112-004: attach Playwright evidence for newcomer flow in healthy and degraded modes.

+
+### Prerequisites to run
+
+**Detailed infrastructure setup guide**: `src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/INFRASTRUCTURE.md` — covers 4 tiers (in-process, live database, ONNX model, frontend E2E) with exact Docker commands, connection strings, extension requirements, and config examples.
+
+**No external infrastructure needed for the in-process test suite.** All integration tests use `WebApplicationFactory<Program>` with stubbed services. Benchmarks use in-memory stores. No PostgreSQL, no Docker, no network access required.
+
+Run the full suite:
+```bash
+dotnet test "src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj" -v normal
+```
+
+Run only the search sprint integration tests:
+```bash
+dotnet test "src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj" \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~UnifiedSearchSprintIntegrationTests" -v normal
+```
+
+Run only the FTS recall benchmark:
+```bash
+dotnet test "src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj" \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~FtsRecallBenchmarkTests" -v normal
+```
+
+Run only the semantic recall benchmark:
+```bash
+dotnet test "src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj" \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~SemanticRecallBenchmarkTests" -v normal
+```
+
+**For live database tests** (e.g., full AKS rebuild + query against real Postgres with pg_trgm/pgvector):
+```bash
+# Start the dedicated AKS test database
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.advisoryai-knowledge-test.yml up -d
+
+# Wait for health check
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.advisoryai-knowledge-test.yml ps
+
+# Prepare sources and rebuild index
+stella advisoryai sources prepare --json
+stella advisoryai index rebuild --json
+
+# Run tests with the Live category (requires database)
+dotnet test "src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj" \
+  --filter "Category=Live" -v normal
+```
+
+Or use the full CI testing stack:
+```bash
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.testing.yml --profile ci up -d
+```
+
+### Database extensions required for live tests
+
+The AKS knowledge test database init script (`devops/compose/postgres-init/advisoryai-knowledge-test/01_extensions.sql`) must enable:
+- `vector` (pgvector) — for `embedding_vec vector(384)` columns and cosine similarity
+- `pg_trgm` — for trigram fuzzy matching (`similarity()`, GIN trigram indexes)
+
+These are already configured in the compose init scripts. If setting up a custom test database:
+```sql
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;
+```
+
+### Migrations required for search sprints
+
+The search sprints added several migrations under `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Storage/Migrations/`:
+
+| Migration | Sprint | Content |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `004_fts_english_config.sql` | G5 (101) | `body_tsv_en` tsvector column + GIN index, pg_trgm extension + trigram indexes |
+| `005_search_feedback.sql` | G10 (110) | `search_feedback` + `search_quality_alerts` tables |
+| `005_search_analytics.sql` | G6 (106) | `search_events` + `search_history` tables |
+| `007_multilingual_fts.sql` | G9 (109) | `body_tsv_de`, `body_tsv_fr`, `body_tsv_es`, `body_tsv_ru` tsvector columns + GIN indexes |
+
+All migrations are idempotent (IF NOT EXISTS guards). They run automatically via `EnsureSchemaAsync()` at service startup.
+
+### Frontend tests
+
+Frontend changes span `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/`. To run Angular unit tests:
+```bash
+cd src/Web/StellaOps.Web
+npm install
+npm run test:ci
+```
+
+For E2E tests (requires the full stack running):
+```bash
+cd src/Web/StellaOps.Web
+npx playwright install
+npm run test:e2e
+```
+
+Relevant E2E config: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/playwright.e2e.config.ts`.
+
+### InternalsVisibleTo
+
+The production assembly `StellaOps.AdvisoryAI` grants `InternalsVisibleTo` to `StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests` (see `src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs`). This allows tests to access `internal` types including:
+- `IVectorEncoder`, `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder`, `OnnxVectorEncoder`
+- `ISynthesisEngine`, `SynthesisTemplateEngine`, `CompositeSynthesisEngine`, `LlmSynthesisEngine`
+- `IntentClassifier`, `QueryLanguageDetector`, `MultilingualIntentKeywords`, `DomainWeightCalculator`
+- `SearchAnalyticsService`, `SearchQualityMonitor`
+- `WeightedRrfFusion`, `UnifiedSearchService`
+- `IKnowledgeSearchStore`, `KnowledgeChunkRow`
+
+### Key interfaces to stub in integration tests
+
+| Interface | Purpose | Typical stub behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `IKnowledgeSearchService` | AKS search | Return hardcoded results per query |
+| `IKnowledgeIndexer` | AKS index rebuild | Return fixed summary counts |
+| `IUnifiedSearchService` | Unified search | Return entity cards with domain filtering |
+| `IUnifiedSearchIndexer` | Unified index rebuild | Return fixed summary |
+| `ISynthesisEngine` | AI synthesis | Return template-based synthesis |
+| `IVectorEncoder` | Embedding generation | Use `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` or `EmptyVectorEncoder` |
+| `IKnowledgeSearchStore` | FTS/vector storage | Use `DeterministicBenchmarkStore` or `FtsRecallBenchmarkStore` |
+
+### Test categories and filtering
+
+Use `[Trait("Category", TestCategories.XXX)]` to categorize tests. Key categories:
+- `Unit` — fast, in-memory, no external deps (default for most tests)
+- `Integration` — uses `WebApplicationFactory` or test containers
+- `Performance` — benchmarks (FTS recall, semantic recall)
+- `Live` — requires running database (skip in standard CI)
+
+Filter examples:
+```bash
+# All except Live
+dotnet test ... --filter "Category!=Live"
+
+# Only integration
+dotnet test ... --filter "Category=Integration"
+
+# Specific test class
+dotnet test ... --filter "FullyQualifiedName~FtsRecallBenchmarkTests"
+```
+
+### Localized doctor seeds
+
+Doctor check content is available in 3 locales:
+- `doctor-search-seed.json` — English (base, 8 checks)
+- `doctor-search-seed.de.json` — German (de-DE)
+- `doctor-search-seed.fr.json` — French (fr-FR)
+
+The `KnowledgeIndexer.IngestDoctorAsync()` method auto-discovers locale files via `DoctorSearchSeedLoader.LoadLocalized()` and ingests locale-tagged chunks alongside English. This enables German/French FTS queries to match doctor check content.
+
+### Configuration options added by search sprints
+
+All in `KnowledgeSearchOptions` (`src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/KnowledgeSearch/KnowledgeSearchOptions.cs`):
+
+| Option | Default | Sprint | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `FtsLanguageConfig` | `"english"` | G5 | Primary FTS text search config |
+| `FuzzyFallbackEnabled` | `true` | G5 | Enable pg_trgm fuzzy fallback |
+| `MinFtsResultsForFuzzyFallback` | `3` | G5 | Threshold for fuzzy activation |
+| `FuzzySimilarityThreshold` | `0.3` | G5 | pg_trgm similarity cutoff |
+| `VectorEncoderType` | `"hash"` | G1 | `"hash"` or `"onnx"` |
+| `OnnxModelPath` | `"models/all-MiniLM-L6-v2.onnx"` | G1 | Path to ONNX model file |
+| `LlmSynthesisEnabled` | `false` | G3 | Enable LLM-grounded synthesis |
+| `SynthesisTimeoutMs` | `5000` | G3 | LLM synthesis timeout |
+| `LlmAdapterBaseUrl` | `null` | G3 | LLM adapter service URL |
+| `LlmProviderId` | `null` | G3 | LLM provider selection |
+| `PopularityBoostEnabled` | `false` | G6 | Enable click-weighted ranking |
+| `PopularityBoostWeight` | `0.1` | G6 | Popularity boost factor |
+| `RoleBasedBiasEnabled` | `false` | G6 | Enable scope-based domain weighting |
+| `FtsLanguageConfigs` | `{}` | G9 | Per-locale FTS config map |
+
 ## Known limitations and follow-ups
 - YAML OpenAPI ingestion is not included in MVP.
 - End-to-end benchmark against live Postgres-backed AKS service is planned as a follow-up CI lane.
 - Optional external embedding providers can be added later without changing API contracts.
+- ONNX model file (`all-MiniLM-L6-v2.onnx`, ~80MB) must be provisioned separately for deployments opting into `VectorEncoderType=onnx`. Air-gap bundles must include the model.
+- Doctor seed localization covers de-DE and fr-FR only. Other locales (es-ES, ru-RU, bg-BG, etc.) use English fallback.
+- Search quality dashboard deferred items: low-quality results table, top queries table, 30-day trend chart (require additional backend aggregation queries).
+- Periodic `SearchQualityMonitor` background job not yet wired (zero-result alerting runs on-demand via metrics endpoint).

+- Scanner.WebService initializes localization via `AddStellaOpsLocalization(...)`, `AddTranslationBundle(...)`, `AddRemoteTranslationBundles()`, `UseStellaOpsLocalization()`, and `LoadTranslationsAsync()`.
+- Locale resolution order is deterministic: `X-Locale` header -> `Accept-Language` header -> configured default locale (`en-US`).

+- Current localized API responses in this rollout are provided for `en-US` and `de-DE` (for example, slice query validation and not-found responses).
+
+### Report events
 
 When `scanner.events.enabled = true`, the WebService serialises the signed report (canonical JSON + DSSE envelope) with `NotifyCanonicalJsonSerializer` and publishes two Redis Stream entries (`scanner.report.ready`, `scanner.scan.completed`) to the configured stream (default `stella.events`). The stream fields carry the whole envelope plus lightweight headers (`kind`, `tenant`, `ts`) so Notify and UI timelines can consume the event bus without recomputing signatures. Publish timeouts and bounded stream length are controlled via `scanner:events:publishTimeoutSeconds` and `scanner:events:maxStreamLength`. If the queue driver is already Redis and no explicit events DSN is provided, the host reuses the queue connection and auto-enables event emission so deployments get live envelopes without extra wiring. Compose/Helm bundles expose the same knobs via the `SCANNER__EVENTS__*` environment variables for quick tuning.

+Full feature documentation: `docs/modules/advisory-ai/knowledge-search.md` → "Search improvement sprints (G1–G10) — testing infrastructure guide".
+
+**Quick-start (no Docker required):**
+```bash
+# Run all tests (~800+ tests, all in-process with stubs)
+dotnet test src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj -v normal
+
+# Run only search sprint integration tests (87 tests)

+# Run semantic recall benchmark (13 tests)
+dotnet test src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~SemanticRecallBenchmarkTests" -v normal
+```
+
+**For live database tests (requires Docker):**
+```bash
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.advisoryai-knowledge-test.yml up -d
+# Database at localhost:55432, user: stellaops_knowledge, db: advisoryai_knowledge_test

+stella advisoryai index rebuild --json
+dotnet test src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj \
+  --filter "Category=Live" -v normal
+```
+
+**Key test files:**
+- `Integration/UnifiedSearchSprintIntegrationTests.cs` — 87 integration tests covering all 10 sprints
+- `KnowledgeSearch/FtsRecallBenchmarkTests.cs` + `FtsRecallBenchmarkStore.cs` — FTS recall benchmark
+- `KnowledgeSearch/SemanticRecallBenchmarkTests.cs` + `SemanticRecallBenchmarkStore.cs` — Semantic recall benchmark
+- `TestData/fts-recall-benchmark.json` — 34-query FTS fixture
+- `TestData/semantic-recall-benchmark.json` — 48-query semantic fixture
+
+**Frontend tests:**
+```bash
+cd src/Web/StellaOps.Web && npm install && npm run test:ci   # Angular unit tests
+npx playwright install && npm run test:e2e                    # E2E tests (requires running stack)
+```
+
+**InternalsVisibleTo:** The `StellaOps.AdvisoryAI` assembly grants access to `StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests`, enabling direct testing of internal types (encoders, classifiers, stores, services).
+
+**Stubs for WebApplicationFactory tests:** Replace `IKnowledgeSearchService`, `IKnowledgeIndexer`, `IUnifiedSearchService`, `IUnifiedSearchIndexer`, `ISynthesisEngine`, and `IVectorEncoder` via `services.RemoveAll<T>()` + `services.AddSingleton<T, StubT>()`. See `UnifiedSearchSprintIntegrationTests.cs` for the canonical pattern.
