Algolia-Central2 — Answer-Quality Lab — Wiki Index

Type: project Created: 2026-06-18 Last Updated: 2026-07-04 (migrated coordinator-native-findings + entity-boost ADR + full Algolia API reference from repo — these existed only in-repo, never in the vault, until now)

Read this file first. It maps the entire wiki.

STATUS (2026-06-18 evening): BUILD PLAN WRITTEN + HARDENED → ready for UltraCode. Plan lives in the repo: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-18-answer-quality-lab-2x2-refactor.md (authoritative). Corrections that OVERRIDE the ADRs below: build home = CENTRAL app 0EXRPAXB56 (NOT a separate "FLAGSHIP" app); indices named AC2_WWW_<ARCH>_<RETRIEVAL>, agents ac2-* (NOT ALGOLIA_WWW_PROD_V2_*); Maverick = coded coordinator + native source-scoped specialist agents; both OpenAI + Gemini providers; FAIRNESS INVARIANT = identical model across all 4 panels; multi-turn = generated follow-up. See repo SESSION.md + memory project-build-home-central-app.md.

What this is (one line)

A 2×2 four-panel "Answer-Quality Lab" on Algolia that proves, with an LLM judge, whether neural beats keyword and whether multi-agent beats single-agent — the multi-agent built as content-source specialists orchestrated by Maverick.

Decision Records

ADR Summary Date Status
pivot to 2×2 four-panel lab Drop incumbent-vs-us; compare our own retrieval × architecture 2026-06-18 Accepted
FLAGSHIP app + four indices Move off ARIJIT-TEST; 4 indices seeded from Visibility 2026-06-18 Accepted
content-source multi-agent Maverick + 4 source-scoped specialists 2026-06-18 Accepted
judge: 3-dim per panel Judge scores all 4 panels; 2×2 scorecard 2026-06-18 Accepted
daily delta-sync Data-only sync Visibility → 4 indices 2026-06-18 Accepted
UX + judge design 2×2 grid scoreboard + slide-in judge drawer; lean judge panel; grounding gate ×1; 1-judge live / 3-judge batch 2026-06-18 Accepted*
drop expandedQuery from retrieval Send raw user turn; rephrase gave no lift + a grounding hazard on bait queries; NeuralSearch fires on raw NL 2026-06-28 Accepted
stateless replay vs Redis Keep messages[] replay + dossier, no Redis; native memory doesn't carry; Redis≠token-saving 2026-06-28 Accepted
content-source routing spike verdict Source SCOPING = no lift (KILL) on a fair baseline; depth ceiling is DATA (only Support+"Other" deep); honed-prompt+warm-baton phase next 2026-06-28 Accepted (supersedes-in-part content-source-multi-agent)
rationalize to 3 agents Keep multi-agent for demo/personality/scope (NOT quality — thesis A/B flat); 4→3: General (fronts+routes, Website+Other) · Developer (Documentation+Developers+Support+Academy) · Marketer/Merchandiser (Blog+CustomerStories+Resources); General hands off by intent 2026-07-01 Accepted (supersedes-in-part content-source-multi-agent)
entity-boost: native optionalFilters, not Atlas RC2's Atlas pattern (separate entity index + query expansion) was a crutch for a non-neural retriever; AC2 biases retrieval via native optionalFilters on existing facets instead — zero extra hops, same grounding 2026-07-01 Accepted (migrated from repo 2026-07-04, was not in vault)

Date Event
2026-06-18 Wiki initialized; recorded pivot, architecture, 5 ADRs, open questions
2026-06-18 Finalized agent roster (Maverick · Technical · Marketer · Academy · Support); locked "data-driven not legacy" v2 principle
2026-06-18 Designed lab UX + judge panel (2×2 grid, slide-in judge drawer, lean content, 1/3-judge tiers); dedup profiled; build roadmap set
2026-06-28 Backlog A: dropped brain.expandedQuery from retrieval (scored A/B + Gate-1 proof) — shipped main dc03bc7
2026-06-28 Backlog B: native memory does NOT carry (probe negative) → keep stateless replay; ADR stateless-vs-Redis — main 03e9184
2026-06-28 Content-source routing SPIKE → KILL on scoping (fair baseline +0.25 noise); data-hardened (only Support+"Other" deep); honed-prompt+warm-baton phase next. ADR content-source-routing-spike-verdict
2026-07-01 Core-thesis A/B (33Q rounds=3): 4 specialists give NO lift over 1 generic agent (clean Δ−0.33=flat). Native crawler-army enriched the index (deep bodies); enrichment A/B (body searchable) also null. Decision: rationalize 4→3 agents (General/Developer/Marketer-Merchandiser), General fronts + hands off. ADR rationalize-to-3-agents
2026-07-04 Vault-sync gap found and closed (from a PRISM-project session, PIP repo): coordinator-algolia-native-findings.md, the entity-boost ADR, and the full docs/algolia-api/ reference (10 files) existed only in the repo, never committed here — migrated in. Reason: PRISM V2 planning needed these findings and almost re-researched them from scratch before checking the vault first.
