Phase 6/7: wire rerank + eval harness — 100% pass on 21 golden queries

Phase 6 — Reranker integration
- New _rerank(query, [(cid, doc), ...]) helper in server.py calls
  llama.cpp's /v1/rerank endpoint, returns reranker-ordered ids
  or None on failure (graceful fallback — search never blocks
  on the sidecar).
- search_docs + search_trials both call _rerank() on the post-
  hybrid pool BEFORE truncating to k. The variety-code prefilter
  still pins exact matches on top.
- Per-doc truncation to 2000 chars to fit jina-reranker-v2-base's
  per-pair token budget. Full chunk text still returned to the
  caller — truncation is rerank-input-only.
- Telemetry adds `reranked: true|false` so usage logs distinguish
  reranked calls.

Phase 7 — Eval harness
- eval/queries.jsonl: 21 golden queries spanning:
    * variety-code lookups (DKC62-08RIB, AG29XF4, WB6430, E085Z5,
      AP Iliad)
    * semantic variety queries (drought-tolerant corn, SCN MG-3
      soy, Rps3a, XtendFlex, HRS stripe rust, SWW PNW, Goss's Wilt)
    * trial queries (IA/IN/MN regional, AP Iliad ID, NK1701 head-
      to-head, silage Ton/Acre, product=DKC65-95)
    * anti-hallucination (Pioneer P1142 fallback, DKC65-20 not-in-
      corpus expected_empty)
- eval/retrievers.py: 4 named retrievers — dense, bm25, hybrid
  (dense+bm25+RRF), hybrid+rerank — all sharing the same filter
  shape as docs_mcp/server.py._build_where.
- eval/run_eval.py: runs each retriever against each query,
  reports Recall / Precision@1 / MRR / avg latency. Markdown
  output in eval/results/baseline.md.

Baseline results (k=5, 21 queries):

  | Retriever       | Pass  | Recall | P@1   | MRR   | Avg ms |
  |-----------------|-------|--------|-------|-------|--------|
  | hybrid+rerank   | 21/21 | 100%   | 90%   | 0.905 | 2064   |
  | bm25            | 20/21 |  95%   | 81%   | 0.833 |    5   |
  | hybrid          | 15/21 |  71%   | 62%   | 0.619 |   73   |
  | dense           | 14/21 |  67%   | 38%   | 0.440 |   79   |

Key findings:
1. hybrid+rerank wins on quality — 100% pass, 90% P@1.
2. BM25 alone is surprisingly competitive (95% pass) at 5 ms —
   excellent fallback when rerank is down. The variety-code
   prefilter in search_docs is doing a lot of work here.
3. Dense embedding alone is the WEAKEST configuration on this
   corpus — variety identity tokens (DKC62-08RIB, AP Iliad,
   Rps3a) have no semantic neighbors, so nomic-embed-text returns
   noise. The hybrid (no rerank) layer actively hurts because
   RRF dilutes the BM25 ranking with dense noise.
4. Anti-hallucination queries (Pioneer fallback, DKC65-20 not-
   in-corpus) pass on ALL retrievers including dense-only —
   the must_not_contain + expected_empty design holds.

Deploy decision: HYBRID_SEARCH=true + RERANK_URL set
(production env already has both — refresh.yml + image-only.yml
+ deploy/docker-compose.yml all configured).

+Each retriever returns a ranked list of chunk_ids. The eval harness

+  hybrid             — dense + bm25 fused via RRF
+  hybrid_rerank      — hybrid pool → cross-encoder rerank

 """Run all retrievers against eval/queries.jsonl, emit a markdown report.
 
+For seed-mcp, the "expected" answer for many queries isn't a single
+chunk — it's "a chunk satisfying these constraints." So per-query
+scoring is one of:
+
+  expected_source_keys     — at least one of these source_keys appears
+                             in top-k (used for variety-code queries
+                             with a single canonical answer)
+  expected_metadata        — all top-k must match these key=value
+                             constraints (e.g. crop=corn, year=2024)
+  expected_substrings      — at least one top-k chunk's text/metadata
+                             contains each substring (e.g. "SCN" must
+                             appear when querying SCN resistance)
+  must_not_contain_source_keys — anti-hallucination: NO top-k chunk's
+                                  source_key may contain these tokens
+                                  (Pioneer fallback queries)
+  expected_empty           — top-k MUST be empty (anti-hallucination)
+  expect_lessons_call      — the agent should call api_lessons; not
+                             measurable from retrieval alone, recorded
+                             as an advisory note
+
 Metrics computed per retriever:
 
-  MRR        — mean reciprocal rank of the FIRST expected page in the
-               ranked result list (0 if not in top-k).
-  Recall@K   — fraction of expected pages that appear in top-K.
-  nDCG@K     — discounted gain weighted by rank position.
+  recall_known    — fraction of queries where the retriever returned
+                    a chunk satisfying the query's expectations
+  precision_top1  — fraction of queries where the FIRST result
+                    satisfied expectations
+  mrr             — mean reciprocal rank of the FIRST satisfying chunk
 
-The "right" number depends on what you're measuring. MRR tracks "the
-first-line answer is correct"; Recall@K tracks "everything relevant
-is there to draw from"; nDCG@K is a smoother combination of both.
-For docs-RAG, MRR is usually the headline metric.
+Plus a per-query breakdown table so you can see exactly where each
+retriever wins or loses.
