+### Search sprint test infrastructure (G1–G10)
+**Infrastructure setup guide**: `src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/INFRASTRUCTURE.md` — covers what each test tier needs and exact Docker/config steps.
+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)
+dotnet test src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~UnifiedSearchSprintIntegrationTests" -v normal
+
+# Run FTS recall benchmark (12 tests)
+dotnet test src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~FtsRecallBenchmarkTests" -v normal
+
+# 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
+# Requires extensions: pgvector, pg_trgm (auto-created by init script)
+stella advisoryai sources prepare --json
+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.
+
 ## Docs & Change Sync
 - When changing behaviors or contracts, update relevant docs under `docs/modules/advisory-ai`, `docs/modules/policy/guides/assistant-parameters.md`, or sprint-linked docs; mirror decisions in sprint **Decisions & Risks**.
 - If new advisories/platform decisions occur, notify sprint log and link updated docs.

+2. Cite your sources using bracket notation: [1], [2], etc., referencing the numbered search results.
+3. Every factual claim MUST have at least one citation.
+4. If the search results do not contain enough information to answer the question, say: "I don't have enough information to answer this based on the current search results."
+5. Do NOT invent facts, entity keys, CVE IDs, URLs, or any information not present in the search results.
+6. Do NOT mention that you are an AI or that you are synthesizing search results.
+
+DOMAIN-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:
+- Findings: When referencing findings, mention severity level (critical/high/medium/low) and remediation status if available.
+- VEX Statements: When referencing VEX data, mention exploitability status (e.g., not_affected, affected, under_investigation) and justification if provided.
+- Policy Rules: When referencing policy rules, mention enforcement level (enforce/warn/audit) and scope if available.
+- Doctor Checks: When referencing doctor checks, mention severity and include the run command if available.
+
+RESPONSE FORMAT:
+- Plain text with inline citations in [N] format.
+- Do not use markdown headers or bullet lists. Write flowing prose.
+- Keep the total response under 150 words.

+# AdvisoryAI Test Infrastructure Setup Guide
+
+This document tells you **what infrastructure each test tier needs** and **exactly how to set it up**.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 0 — In-Process Tests (NO infrastructure needed)
+
+These tests run entirely in-memory. No Docker, no database, no network. Just `dotnet test`.
+
+### What's included
+| Test file | Tests | What it covers |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `Integration/UnifiedSearchSprintIntegrationTests.cs` | 87 | All 10 search sprints (G1–G10): endpoint auth, domain filtering, synthesis, suggestions, role-based bias, multilingual detection, feedback validation |
+| `Integration/KnowledgeSearchEndpointsIntegrationTests.cs` | ~6 | AKS endpoints: auth, search with scope, localization, rebuild |
+| `Integration/LlmAdapterEndpointsIntegrationTests.cs` | ~3 | LLM adapter provider listing |
+| `Integration/AdvisoryChatEndpointsIntegrationTests.cs` | ~8 | Chat endpoints with header-based auth |
+| `KnowledgeSearch/KnowledgeSearchBenchmarkTests.cs` | 3 | AKS benchmark (recall, latency, determinism) |
+| `KnowledgeSearch/FtsRecallBenchmarkTests.cs` | 12 | FTS recall: Simple vs English (34-query fixture) |
+| `KnowledgeSearch/SemanticRecallBenchmarkTests.cs` | 13 | Semantic recall: Hash vs ONNX (48-query fixture) |
+| `UnifiedSearch/UnifiedSearchServiceTests.cs` | 7+ | Preview generation, search service logic |
+| `UnifiedSearch/SynthesisTemplateEngineTests.cs` | ~6 | Template selection, locale output |
+| `UnifiedSearch/QueryUnderstandingTests.cs` | ~10 | Intent, language detection, domain weights |
+| All other `*Tests.cs` in root + Chat/ + Actions/ | ~600+ | Advisory pipeline, guardrails, chat, policy studio, etc. |
+
+### How to run
+```bash
+dotnet test "src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj" -v normal
+```
+
+### Why no infrastructure is needed
+All integration tests use `WebApplicationFactory<Program>` with **stubbed** services:
+- `IKnowledgeSearchService` → `StubKnowledgeSearchService` (returns hardcoded results)
+- `IKnowledgeIndexer` → `StubKnowledgeIndexer` (returns fixed counts)
+- `IUnifiedSearchService` → `StubUnifiedSearchService` (applies domain filtering on canned data)
+- `IUnifiedSearchIndexer` → `StubUnifiedSearchIndexer` (no-op)
+- `ISynthesisEngine` → falls back to `SynthesisTemplateEngine` (in-memory templates)
+- `IVectorEncoder` → `DeterministicHashVectorEncoder` or `EmptyVectorEncoder` (no ONNX model)
+
+All benchmark tests use in-memory stores (`FtsRecallBenchmarkStore`, `SemanticRecallBenchmarkStore`, `DeterministicBenchmarkStore`) that simulate FTS and vector search without any database.
+
+Connection strings in tests are set to `"Host=unused"` — they are never opened.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 1 — Live Database Tests (requires PostgreSQL with extensions)
+
+These tests verify the **actual SQL** in `PostgresKnowledgeSearchStore`, `SearchAnalyticsService`, `SearchQualityMonitor`, `EntityAliasService`, and `UnifiedSearchIndexer` against a real PostgreSQL instance.
+
+### What infrastructure is needed
+
+| Component | Required | Version | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| **PostgreSQL** | YES | 18.1+ (16+ works) | FTS, storage, migrations |
+| **pgvector extension** | YES (soft) | 0.7+ | `vector(384)` column for embeddings, cosine similarity. AKS degrades gracefully to array fallback if missing. |
+| **pg_trgm extension** | YES | built-in | Trigram fuzzy matching (`similarity()`, GIN trigram indexes). Required by Sprint 101 (G5). |
+
+### Option A: Dedicated AKS test database (recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Start the dedicated knowledge search test database
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.advisoryai-knowledge-test.yml up -d
+
+# Wait for health check (takes ~5 seconds)
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.advisoryai-knowledge-test.yml ps
+# Expected: stellaops-advisoryai-knowledge-postgres-test  healthy
+```
+
+Connection details:
+| Setting | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Host | `localhost` |
+| Port | `55432` |
+| Database | `advisoryai_knowledge_test` |
+| User | `stellaops_knowledge` |
+| Password | `stellaops_knowledge` |
+| Connection string | `Host=localhost;Port=55432;Database=advisoryai_knowledge_test;Username=stellaops_knowledge;Password=stellaops_knowledge` |
+
+The init script (`devops/compose/postgres-init/advisoryai-knowledge-test/01_extensions.sql`) auto-creates:
+- `advisoryai` schema
+- `vector` extension (if pgvector is available in the image)
+
+**IMPORTANT**: The default `postgres:18.1-alpine` image does NOT include pgvector. To get pgvector:
+- Use `pgvector/pgvector:pg16` or `ankane/pgvector:latest` image, OR
+- Install `postgresql-16-pgvector` package into the alpine image, OR
+- Accept the graceful fallback (AKS uses array embeddings instead of pgvector — vector search quality is reduced but FTS still works fully).
+
+The `pg_trgm` extension IS included in the default alpine image (it's a contrib module).
+
+To enable pg_trgm manually:
+```sql
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;
+```
+
+### Option B: General CI testing stack
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.testing.yml --profile ci up -d
+```
+
+Connection details (from `devops/compose/env/testing.env.example`):
+| Setting | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Host | `localhost` |
+| Port | `5433` |
+| Database | `stellaops_test` |
+| User | `stellaops_ci` |
+| Password | `ci_test_password` |
+
+This stack also starts Valkey (port 6380), RustFS (port 8180), and a mock registry (port 5001).
+
+### Option C: Your own PostgreSQL
+
+Any PostgreSQL 16+ instance works. Run these setup commands:
+```sql
+CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS advisoryai;
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;          -- required for fuzzy search
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;            -- optional; enables pgvector similarity
+```
+
+### Running migrations
+
+Migrations run automatically when the service starts (`EnsureSchemaAsync()`). Or run them manually via the service:
+
+```bash
+# Configure connection string and rebuild the index (runs migrations + full index rebuild)
+export AdvisoryAI__KnowledgeSearch__ConnectionString="Host=localhost;Port=55432;Database=advisoryai_knowledge_test;Username=stellaops_knowledge;Password=stellaops_knowledge"
+
+# Using CLI
+stella advisoryai index rebuild --json
+
+# Or via HTTP (service must be running)
+curl -X POST https://localhost:10450/v1/advisory-ai/index/rebuild \
+  -H "X-StellaOps-Scopes: advisory-ai:admin" \
+  -H "X-StellaOps-Tenant: test-tenant"
+```
+
+Migration files (all idempotent, safe to re-run):
+| File | Content |
+| --- | --- |
+| `002_knowledge_search.sql` | Core AKS schema: `kb_doc`, `kb_chunk`, `api_spec`, `api_operation`, `doctor_search_projection` |
+| `003_unified_search.sql` | Unified search schema extensions |
+| `004_fts_english_trgm.sql` | `body_tsv_en` column (English stemming), pg_trgm extension, trigram GIN indexes |
+| `005_search_analytics.sql` | `search_events`, `search_history` tables |
+| `005_search_feedback.sql` | `search_feedback`, `search_quality_alerts` tables |
+| `007_multilingual_fts.sql` | `body_tsv_de`, `body_tsv_fr`, `body_tsv_es`, `body_tsv_ru` tsvector columns |
+
+### Running live tests
+
+Currently there are no tests tagged with `Category=Live`. To create live database tests:
+
+```csharp
+[Trait("Category", TestCategories.Live)]
+public sealed class KnowledgeSearchLiveTests : IAsyncLifetime
+{
+    // Use Testcontainers OR read connection string from env
+    private string _connectionString = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ADVISORYAI_TEST_CONNSTRING")
+        ?? "Host=localhost;Port=55432;Database=advisoryai_knowledge_test;Username=stellaops_knowledge;Password=stellaops_knowledge";
+}
+```
+
+Run:
+```bash
+export ADVISORYAI_TEST_CONNSTRING="Host=localhost;Port=55432;Database=advisoryai_knowledge_test;Username=stellaops_knowledge;Password=stellaops_knowledge"
+dotnet test "src/AdvisoryAI/__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests.csproj" \
+  --filter "Category=Live" -v normal
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tier 2 — ONNX Model Tests (requires model file)
+
+The `OnnxVectorEncoder` uses reflection to load `Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime` and the `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` ONNX model. Without these, it falls back to the hash-based encoder.
+
+### What's needed
+| Component | Required | Size | License |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime` NuGet | YES | ~50MB | MIT |
+| `all-MiniLM-L6-v2.onnx` model | YES | ~80MB | Apache 2.0 |
+| `vocab.txt` (WordPiece vocabulary) | YES | ~240KB | Apache 2.0 |
+
+### Setup
+
+1. Add NuGet package (not yet in .csproj — uses reflection fallback):
+   ```bash
+   cd src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI
+   dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime --version 1.20.*
+   ```
+
+2. Download model:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/models
+   # Download from Hugging Face (requires internet):
+   curl -L https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2/resolve/main/onnx/model.onnx \
+     -o src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI/models/all-MiniLM-L6-v2.onnx
+   ```
+
+3. Configure:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "AdvisoryAI": {
+       "KnowledgeSearch": {
+         "VectorEncoderType": "onnx",
+         "OnnxModelPath": "models/all-MiniLM-L6-v2.onnx"
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Without the model
+
+All tests still pass. The `OnnxVectorEncoder.FallbackEncode()` method produces 384-dim hash-based vectors. The `SemanticSimulationEncoder` in tests simulates semantic behavior without the real model.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 3 — Frontend E2E Tests (requires full stack)
+
+### What's needed
+| Component | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| Full Docker stack | All backend services running |
+| Node.js 20+ | Angular build and test runner |
+| Playwright browsers | Chromium at minimum |
+
+### Setup
+```bash
+# 1. Start the full development stack
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.yml up -d
+
+# 2. Install frontend dependencies
+cd src/Web/StellaOps.Web
+npm install
+
+# 3. Install Playwright browsers
+npx playwright install chromium
+
+# 4. Run Angular unit tests (no infrastructure needed)
+npm run test:ci
+
+# 5. Run E2E tests (requires running stack)
+npm run test:e2e
+```
+
+E2E config: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/playwright.e2e.config.ts`
+- Base URL: `https://127.1.0.1` (Docker stack) or `localhost:4400` (dev serve)
+- Timeout: 60s per test
+- Workers: 1 (sequential)
+
+---
+
+## Configuration reference
+
+The `KnowledgeSearchOptions` class binds to config section `AdvisoryAI:KnowledgeSearch`.
+
+Environment variable override pattern: `AdvisoryAI__KnowledgeSearch__<PropertyName>`
+
+Example `appsettings.json` for full local testing:
+```json
+{
+  "AdvisoryAI": {
+    "KnowledgeSearch": {
+      "Enabled": true,
+      "ConnectionString": "Host=localhost;Port=55432;Database=advisoryai_knowledge_test;Username=stellaops_knowledge;Password=stellaops_knowledge",
+      "FtsLanguageConfig": "english",
+      "FuzzyFallbackEnabled": true,
+      "MinFtsResultsForFuzzyFallback": 3,
+      "FuzzySimilarityThreshold": 0.3,
+      "VectorEncoderType": "hash",
+      "OnnxModelPath": "models/all-MiniLM-L6-v2.onnx",
+      "LlmSynthesisEnabled": false,
+      "PopularityBoostEnabled": false,
+      "RoleBasedBiasEnabled": false
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Teardown
+
+```bash
+# Stop AKS test database
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.advisoryai-knowledge-test.yml down
+
+# Stop CI stack
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.testing.yml down
+
+# Remove volumes (full cleanup)
+docker compose -f devops/compose/docker-compose.advisoryai-knowledge-test.yml down -v
