// Cross-RAG ranking — fuse Creative RAG + Project RAG search results into one // ranked list via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF). Pure TS, no TD/bridge, fully // offline-testable. // // WHY RRF: the two corpora score on incomparable scales — Creative RAG // `score` is cosine 0..1, Project RAG `score` is `cosineSim * composite`. Naive // score-merging would systematically favour whichever scale runs higher. RRF is // rank-based (`rrf(d) = Σ_lists 1/(k + rank_list(d))`, rank from 1) and thus // scale-free. IDs are namespaced per corpus (distinct sha256 canonical bases), // so in practice fusion just interleaves the two lists; the helper stays // corpus-agnostic, so a hypothetical cross-corpus id collision is (correctly) // treated as one document appearing in both lists. import type { CreativeRagService } from "../creativeRag/index.js"; import type { ProjectRagService } from "../projectRag/index.js"; import type { ProjectSearchFilters } from "../projectRag/types.js"; import type { ChatMessage } from "./client.js"; /** RRF k constant default — k>=1 keeps 1/(k+rank) finite and well-behaved. */ export const DEFAULT_RRF_K = 60; /** One labeled input list, already in descending relevance order (rank 1 = items[0]). */ export interface RankedList { label: string; items: readonly T[]; } /** A fused result. `item` is the original object from the FIRST list that contributed it. */ export interface FusedResult { id: string; item: T; rrfScore: number; /** Labels of every list that contained this id, in input-list order. */ sources: string[]; /** Best (lowest) 1-based rank this id achieved across all lists.
