Artefact — Retrieval corpus and query graph

Status: stub. The query graph diagram and an ingest run log land later; this site’s own corpus build is Phase 4.

What the artefact is

The ingest and query path: documents are chunked and tagged with metadata at ingest, stored in Qdrant, and filtered on that metadata before a similarity search runs. The LangGraph graph has four nodes; the fourth decides whether the answer can be given from what was retrieved.

What it proves

Retrieval designed around payload filtering and a hard stop, plus the reasoning for moving off ChromaDB — heavier footprint and weaker filtering — recorded as a decision rather than a migration.

When it is delivered

The query graph diagram in Phase 7. The live demonstration of the same pattern is this site’s own retrieval, delivered in Phase 4 and Phase 5.
