+This Tauri 2 shell calls the same Rust core as the CLI and the real Google EmbeddingGemma 2 service. It provides folder indexing, native folder selection, progressive filename/content/semantic search, folder/extension/size/date filters, keyboard navigation, escaped text previews, native open/reveal actions, persisted selected folders/resource settings, and a global shortcut. There are no mocked results or embeddings. Watchers and release installers remain roadmap work.
 
 ## Develop
 
@@ -15,15 +15,44 @@ npm run tauri dev
 
 `npm run dev` previews layout in a browser but cannot index or search files. The app reports this limitation explicitly. Press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on macOS) to focus search; arrow keys navigate results. Choose a folder through the native dialog or enter an absolute path. Open/reveal commands canonicalize the path, verify it is a current file, and require exact membership in the index. The webview has no general opener or filesystem capability. Page/paragraph source locations are displayed when supplied by the core; opening at that exact location is future work.
 
-The desktop index is stored in the platform app-data directory under `dev.searchi.desktop`. Search opens independent core connections while indexing runs on a blocking worker; a guard limits this shell to one indexing job at a time. All model testing on the Windows VM must remain CPU only. This shell configures no GPU provider.
+Ctrl+Shift+Space shows and focuses the running app on Windows/Linux; Shift+Cmd+Space does so on macOS. Registration failures appear under Folders & resources rather than preventing startup. Wayland sessions explicitly report the shortcut as unsupported; launcher access remains available. Registration uses the [official Tauri global shortcut plugin](https://v2.tauri.app/plugin/global-shortcut/). Closing the app exits it; background tray lifecycle is not implemented.
+
+Selected roots and the CPU thread budget are stored in versioned `settings.json` beside the index. Writes use an atomic temporary-file replacement; invalid values never overwrite previous settings. Missing files use defaults, while corrupted/unsupported settings fail explicitly. Selected roots may remain listed while disconnected and are reindexed only on user request. The CPU budget defaults to one and is limited to eight. Indexing uses one worker; CPU inference respects the saved budget.
+
+The desktop index is stored in the platform app-data directory under `dev.searchi.desktop`. Search uses a cached core reader while indexing runs on a separate blocking worker; a guard limits this shell to one indexing job at a time. Production inference automatically selects supported acceleration with CPU fallback. All model testing on the Windows VM must remain CPU only.
+
+## Automatic local semantic search
+
+On first launch, the native app downloads and verifies the pinned Google model artifacts (310 MB text model plus 555 MB media projector, approximately 865 MB total) into app-managed storage and prepares the packaged embedding worker. No model paths, runtime paths, or terminal setup are required. The UI shows native download bytes, verification/warming states, the actual worker device, and explicit errors with a retry control. The first download requires network access; file extraction, embeddings, and queries stay local.
+
+After a folder is indexed, semantic indexing starts automatically when the model is ready. Existing keyword results stay searchable during setup/indexing. Progress is indeterminate during embedding because the native command does not expose a chunk completion count. Failed automatic builds retry only after a changed index/status revision or an explicit rebuild, avoiding repeated failure loops. Status polls run once per second while setup/indexing/warming is active and stop when idle.
+
+Each query captures one immutable filter snapshot. Keyword results appear first; real hybrid results follow after the query settles. `src/search-state.ts` bounds each lane to one active native request and one latest pending request, discards old revisions, and retries a busy request at most once. Escape clears both pending lanes and their timers; already-running native work finishes without changing cleared results. Hybrid updates preserve the selected file and keyboard focus where possible.
+
+Run the async-state tests with Node.js 24 or newer:
+
+```sh
+node --test tests/search-state.test.mjs
+```
 
 For Windows VM UI testing, disable WebView2 GPU rendering as well, before starting Tauri in PowerShell:
 
 ```powershell
 $env:WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS = '--disable-gpu'
+$env:SEARCHI_FORCE_CPU = '1'
 npm.cmd run tauri dev
 ```
 
+## Desktop design
+
+The compact launcher follows the selected first visual direction with the searchi brand palette: blue `#2563FF`, dark `#0B0F14`, light `#F8FAFC`, lowercase wordmark, and “Find what matters. Locally.” Native operating-system window chrome remains native. The right pane shows real extracted passages and source locations, without invented PDF pagination or confidence scores.
+
+Inter Variable is bundled locally with system font fallbacks. All interface icons come from Microsoft Fluent UI System Icons; no runtime CDN requests are made. Light/dark themes follow the operating system. Brief 120–160 ms opacity/transform motion respects reduced-motion settings, and forced-colors mode retains borders and focus visibility. Keyed result rows preserve selected files, keyboard focus, and scroll position during hybrid updates. Settings, filters, and model details use compact disclosures; errors open model details so recovery controls stay accessible.
+
+Distributed notices are included in `public/licenses/` and `src-tauri/resources/licenses/`: [Inter SIL Open Font License](public/licenses/Inter-OFL.txt), [Microsoft Fluent icons MIT license](public/licenses/Fluent-MIT.txt). These are the actual upstream notices, not summaries.
+
+Visual fidelity remains subject to native screenshot QA. Compilation and state tests alone do not verify visual appearance.
+
 ## Verification and packaging
 
 `npm run build` checks strict TypeScript and creates production frontend assets. `npm run tauri build -- --no-bundle` compiles the native shell when platform prerequisites are installed. Installer bundling is intentionally disabled until release icons, signing and native platform checks are complete. Native Windows, macOS, and Linux checks must be recorded separately; a frontend build does not prove the native shell works.

+SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+PREAMBLE
+The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide
+development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation
+efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and
+open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership
+with others.
+
+The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and
+redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The
+fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
+redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved
+names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
+however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
+requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
+to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.
+
+DEFINITIONS
+"Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright
+Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may
+include source files, build scripts and documentation.
+
+"Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the
+copyright statement(s).
+
+"Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as
+distributed by the Copyright Holder(s).

+writer or other person who contributed to the Font Software.
+
+PERMISSION & CONDITIONS
+Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining

+redistribute, and sell modified and unmodified copies of the Font
+Software, subject to the following conditions:
+
+1) Neither the Font Software nor any of its individual components,

+contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be
+included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or
+in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or
+binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.
+
+3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font
+Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding
+Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as
+presented to the users.
+
+4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font
+Software shall not be used to promote, endorse or advertise any
+Modified Version, except to acknowledge the contribution(s) of the

+# Searchi assets
+
+GUI-free model provisioning shared by desktop setup and headless CLI setup.
+Search never invokes this downloader automatically. Inference and GPU providers
+are outside this crate; provisioning tests run on the Windows VM using CPU only.
+
+The compiled [model manifest](../../tools/embeddinggemma2/model-manifest.json)
+pins Google EmbeddingGemma 2's text GGUF and multimedia projection to one
+Hugging Face export commit, exact byte lengths, and SHA-256 digests. The two
+artifacts total 864,676,480 bytes. Source URLs cannot be overridden through the
+public API. Executable embedding workers remain bundled release resources and
+are never downloaded by this crate.
+
+```rust,no_run
+use std::sync::atomic::AtomicU64;
+let directory = searchi_assets::default_model_directory()?;
+let progress = AtomicU64::new(0);
+if !searchi_assets::verify_cached(&directory)? {
+    // Only after the user explicitly chooses setup/download.
+    searchi_assets::provision(&directory, &progress)?;
+}
+# Ok::<(), anyhow::Error>(())
+```
+
+- `default_model_directory()` computes the platform-local application data path
+  via `directories::ProjectDirs`, then appends `models/embeddinggemma2`.
+- `verify_cached(directory)` performs offline size and full-digest validation.
+  It does not trust a same-size file or create directories.
+- `provision(directory, progress)` verifies/reuses cached artifacts and downloads
+  only missing or corrupt files. Call it on a blocking setup worker.
+- `TOTAL_BYTES` supplies the progress total to GUI and CLI consumers.
+
+New files are streamed through a 64 KiB buffer and rejected immediately if the
+body exceeds the pinned size. Content-Length, when supplied, must also match.
+The final byte count and SHA-256 must match before the temporary file is synced
+and atomically replaces the destination in the same directory. A failed attempt
+leaves any existing destination intact and deletes its temporary file through
+RAII. Unix directory metadata is also synced after replacement.
+
+There are three attempts per artifact, with 250/500 ms retry delays. Connections
+time out after 20 seconds, and an entire request including streamed body reads
+after 900 seconds. Progress includes completed verified artifacts and the current
+attempt's received bytes; it resets to completed verified bytes after failure.
+Hard process termination can leave orphan `.part` files, which are never treated
+as valid models. Downloads resume by reusing completed verified artifacts rather
+than trusting partial files.
+
+Tests use a private local HTTP fixture and small authentic byte payloads; they
+do not download the production model or rely on a public service. They verify
+same-size corruption, cache reuse without URL requests, interrupted-response
+retry, streaming size bounds, incorrect digests, atomic replacement, and partial
+file cleanup. Linux/macOS runtime checks remain pending.

+
+## Actual first foreground inputs, schema 8
+
+The schema-8 run persists trigram frequency statistics in background preparation
+before allowing the measured inputs. Preparation took **17.21 seconds** and
+loaded 1,268 frequency entries. That time is reported separately and is not
+subtracted from a foreground query. The same 1M/100K fixture was reused.
+
+The harness measures 20 different exact filenames, spread across the corpus,
+with no preceding query warmups. It then measures 20 different filenames, each
+on a newly opened reader without calling `prewarm` again, using persisted stats.
+This second set includes reader-open time. Both sets validate exact-match priority
+and record every raw query and duration. They are disjoint from each other and
+from the four-case exact query for this full fixture.
+
+| Distinct first-input set | p50 | p95 | Actual very first input | Samples ≥50 ms |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Prepared reader, 20 names | 13.96 ms | 18.97 ms | **98.49 ms** | 1/20 |
+| Fresh readers, 20 other names | 16.78 ms | 22.73 ms | **103.57 ms** | 1/20 |
+
+The p95 filename targets pass, but the very first zero-heavy filename in each
+set fails the 50 ms target. The nearest-rank p95 excludes one maximum sample
+when there are 20 samples, so p95 alone must not be used to claim that the actual
+first input is always fast. Explicit first-sample flags and maximum durations
+are included in the report, derived directly from the recorded raw samples.
+
+| Existing case, first execution before its warmups | First input | First target | Repeated warm p95 |
+| --- | ---: | --- | ---: |
+| Exact filename at end of corpus | 16.31 ms | Passed <50 ms | 13.80 ms |
+| Broad filename substring | 13.01 ms | Passed <50 ms | 0.47 ms |
+| Unique content token | 14.07 ms | Passed <150 ms | 0.49 ms |
+| Broad keyword | **264.53 ms** | **Failed <150 ms** | 145.19 ms |
+
+These measurements expose remaining first-input work even after frequency
+preparation. Zero-heavy names produce larger candidate sets, and broad content
+retrieval has a first-use penalty. This report does not establish the requested
+fast-first-input behavior as complete. It also does not represent a cold OS
+page-cache test: background preparation and previous operations can warm disk
+pages. Host workload isolation remains unverified. The retained report is
+`windows-cpu-full-prepared-v8.json`; engine code was not changed during this run.
+
+## Background representative search and restart cost, schema 9
+
+Schema 9 refreshes frequency statistics only when filename/path membership is
+dirty. It also runs representative searches in background. The report explicitly
+records the actual five background inputs from this corpus: `invoice_0000000.txt`,
+`invoice_0999999.txt`, `Supplier`, `termination`, and `cancellation`. Consequently
+the later first foreground executions of overlapping inputs are prepared inputs,
+not never-before-executed queries. This behavior is intentional application
+preparation, rather than an undisclosed benchmark warmup.
+
+Initial preparation took **17.723 seconds**. A second `prewarm()` on a newly
+opened reader took **0.396 seconds**, reusing clean persisted statistics. That
+second call occurred only after all foreground measurements, so it could not
+improve their recorded first timings. Startup time is amortized when names have
+not changed; refresh after mutations still has an explicit background cost.
+
+| Twenty distinct foreground names | p50 | p95 | Very first name | ≥50 ms |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Prepared reader | 12.75 ms | 14.40 ms | **85.38 ms** | 1/20 |
+| Newly reopened readers | 16.31 ms | 31.42 ms | **100.07 ms** | 1/20 |
+
+The remaining zero-heavy filename outliers fail the first-input target even
+after representative preparation. Repeating that representative query in
+background does not eliminate its candidate-processing cost. The 20 distinct
+query sets remain unchanged from schema 8, and every raw sample and explicit
+first/max failure flag is retained.
+
+| Existing case | First foreground | Repeated p95 | Target |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
+| Exact filename at corpus end | 13.48 ms | 13.22 ms | Passed <50 ms |
+| Filename substring | 3.20 ms | 0.43 ms | Passed <50 ms |
+| Unique content token | 2.57 ms | 0.53 ms | Passed <150 ms |
+| Broad keyword | 99.10 ms | 106.20 ms | Passed <150 ms |
+
+Background initialization fixes the observed broad-keyword first-use penalty,
+but the full fast-first-input requirement remains incomplete because of the
+filename outliers. Further algorithmic filename work is required; the report
+does not infer that preparation makes every unseen query fast. This Windows
+CPU-only run is stored in `windows-cpu-full-prepared-v9.json`.
+
+## Positional candidate correction and finalist projection
+
+Extending the rarest trigram through the entire suffix regressed retrieval:
+the unchanged 20-name sets had p95 **136.60/129.17 ms**, and the first reopened
+zero-heavy name took **554.32 ms**. That rejected experiment remains recorded in
+`windows-cpu-full-suffix-anchor.json`. A long phrase can initialize dense suffix
+postings even when its first term is rare.
+
+The replacement grows a positional anchor only through neighboring grams within
+a bounded frequency factor, with a maximum of 32 Unicode characters. Full literal
+verification and filter-before-limit completeness remain unchanged. Temporary
+lane profiling separated cheap indexed equality (about 0.06 ms in the diagnostic
+run) from first-use broad-prefix filename retrieval (about 67 ms). Generic
+alphabetic tokens derived from representative names now initialize those common
+postings in background. Unfiltered content searches rank compact IDs before
+materializing finalist paths/snippets; filtered ranking is kept complete.
+
+The final unchanged 1M/100K corpus run uses these disclosed background inputs:
+first/last filenames, `invoice`, `txt`, and the first document words `Supplier`,
+`termination`, and `cancellation`. Clean-statistics preparation took **0.709 s**;
+a subsequent new-reader preparation took **0.264 s**. Earlier initial dirty
+statistics refresh still took roughly 17 seconds; this run does not erase that
+startup/refresh cost.
+
+| Twenty distinct first inputs | p95 | Very first | Maximum | Samples ≥50 ms |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Prepared reader | 18.15 ms | 6.14 ms | 22.94 ms | 0/20 |
+| Newly reopened readers, including open | 30.86 ms | 30.86 ms | 34.28 ms | 0/20 |
+
+| Existing case | First foreground | Repeated p95 | Target |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
+| Exact filename at corpus end | 4.37 ms | 3.77 ms | Passed <50 ms |
+| Filename substring | 14.18 ms | 1.23 ms | Passed <50 ms |
+| Unique content token | 10.06 ms | 0.72 ms | Passed <150 ms |
+| Broad keyword | 114.44 ms | 117.88 ms | Passed <150 ms |
+
+All measured first-input samples and repeated-query p95 values pass in this
+Windows CPU run. The retained final report is
+`windows-cpu-full-candidate-first-final.json`, with every raw filename/sample.
+This establishes the measured fixture result, not a guarantee for all queries,
+filters, corpus distributions, cold OS caches, or other operating systems. The
+intermediate density-only reports retain remaining failures and are not promoted
+as final acceptance evidence.

 # Build and release targets
 
-Install stable Rust, Node 22+, and native Tauri development prerequisites.
-On Windows install Visual Studio C++ build tools and WebView2. Linux needs
-WebKitGTK 4.1 development libraries. macOS needs Xcode command-line tools.
-See https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/ for platform details.
+Use stable Rust, Node 24 LTS, Python 3.11+, Git, CMake, and a native C/C++
+toolchain. Python provisions the pinned Google runtime and model; inference
+runs in a native process. Default Rust tests do not download model assets.
+
+Windows needs Visual Studio C++ build tools, a Windows SDK, and WebView2.
+Linux desktop builds need WebKitGTK 4.1 development libraries; macOS needs
+Xcode command-line tools. Follow the [Tauri prerequisites](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/).
+Headless Linux CLI/worker builds do not need WebKitGTK or a display server.
+They still need a C/C++ compiler, linker, CMake, and Rust: SQLite, USearch,
+NumKong, and the Google worker contain native code.
+
+## Windows CPU development
+
+Run from the repository root. Building the worker clones a pinned llama.cpp
+revision and verifies/applies its memory patch. Model provisioning explicitly
+uses the network and verifies both Google assets, approximately 865 MB total.
+The Python CMake package is needed only when CMake is absent from PATH.
 
 ```powershell
+python -m pip install cmake
+python tools/embeddinggemma2/build_runtime.py --backend cpu --jobs 2
+python tools/embeddinggemma2/stage_runtime.py --backend cpu
+python tools/embeddinggemma2/download.py

+cargo test -p searchi-service --test google_cpu -- --ignored --nocapture
+cargo test -p searchi-service --lib google_cpu_preserves -- --ignored --nocapture
+```
+
+The worker is statically linked with the MSVC CRT on Windows. Staging copies
+it and the llama.cpp license into the desktop resources directory. Add
+`--bundle-model` to staging for an offline model bundle after downloading;
+otherwise desktop setup provisions verified models on first launch. Search
+itself performs no network inference or downloads. Media weights are staged
+for future integration; the current worker supports text only.
+
+The desktop is a standalone Cargo workspace and needs separate validation:
+
+```powershell
+cargo test --manifest-path apps/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --locked
+Set-Location apps/desktop
 npm ci
+npm run format:check
+npm test
 npm run build
-# Windows VM: all rendering and inference tests must use CPU.
-$env:WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS='--disable-gpu'
+$env:WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS = '--disable-gpu'
 npm run tauri -- dev
 ```
 
-The desktop is a standalone Cargo workspace; validate it separately:
+Every Windows VM inference/rendering test must stay CPU only. Production
+supports `--backend auto|metal|vulkan|cuda` builds with CPU fallback; do not
+exercise those acceleration backends in this VM. Their execution and failure
+recovery require validation on the corresponding release hardware.
+
+## Headless Linux Google search
+
+These are the current script and CLI interfaces, not evidence of an executed
+Linux release. On a native Linux build host, run from the repository root:
 
 ```sh
-cargo test --manifest-path apps/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --locked
+python3 tools/embeddinggemma2/build_runtime.py --backend cpu --jobs 2
+python3 tools/embeddinggemma2/download.py
+export SEARCHI_FORCE_CPU=1

+./target/release/searchi search --db searchi.sqlite 'supplier cancellation terms' --model-dir .searchi/models/embeddinggemma2 --embedding-worker .searchi/runtime/cpu/searchi-gemma-worker --cpu-threads 1
 ```
 
-## Cross-compilation
+`searchi setup --model-dir PATH` is an alternative verified model-provisioning
+command. It provisions model assets, not the native worker. Package the worker
+separately and pass its path to headless embedding/search. Each short-lived CLI
+search starts a model process; the desktop retains a prewarmed query worker.
 
-The Rust engine has no GUI dependency. Add the destination Rust target with
-`rustup target add TARGET`, then use `cargo build -p searchi-cli --target TARGET`.
-This requires the target linker, C toolchain and SDK because SQLite is compiled
-from bundled C. Target installation alone is insufficient. Document each
-verified host/target pair before treating it as supported.
+## Cross-compilation and native release matrix
 
-Desktop builds also need the platform webview libraries and packaging tools.
-Use native runners for dependable release builds. macOS signing/notarization
-needs Apple credentials and tooling. Windows installer cross-builds have
-additional Tauri caveats: https://v2.tauri.app/distribute/windows-installer/.
+The shared Rust engine/service has no GUI dependency. Install a destination
+Rust target with `rustup target add TARGET`, then build using
+`cargo build -p searchi-cli --target TARGET --locked`. This also requires the
+target C/C++ toolchain, linker, and SDK for bundled SQLite and the vector index.
+The separate native Google worker must be compiled for the same destination;
+installing a Rust target does not cross-compile it. The current Python runtime
+script configures the host toolchain; it does not expose a CMake cross-toolchain
+file interface. Record each verified host/target pair before claiming support.
+
+| Release host | Intended artifacts | Remaining validation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Windows | Windows CLI, worker, desktop installer | Installer, upgrade, signing, GPU hardware |

-matching the configured OS labels; this repository does not provision runners.
-No Linux/macOS checks are considered passed until actual job evidence exists.
+GitHub and Gitea workflows define native OS matrices. Gitea requires registered
+runners matching its configured labels. A workflow declaration does not prove
+a platform was tested; Linux/macOS gates remain open until actual job evidence
+exists. Current workflow checks do not certify the separately built Google
+worker or execute downloaded-model tests automatically.
 
-Current bundles are disabled during development. Enable installers only after
-packaging icons, native smoke tests, CPU model distribution and license review,
-upgrade/migration tests, signatures and rollback checks are ready. Do not place
-private signing keys, repository tokens or model credentials in source control.
+Desktop bundles remain disabled during development. Before enabling release
+installers, stage the target worker, retain dependency/model notices, verify
+clean-machine launch and setup, run native Google smoke tests, and complete
+upgrade/migration, signatures, and rollback checks. Optional offline bundles
+need both verified model files. See [semantic bounds and evidence](SEMANTIC.md)
+for current text-only, corpus, and performance limitations. Keep signing keys,
+repository tokens, and model credentials outside source control.

-Inference explicitly selects `CPUExecutionProvider`. Python uses the CPU
-`onnxruntime` wheel, never `onnxruntime-gpu`. The native Rust crate disables ort
-default features: there are no binary downloads, GPU provider features, or model
-HTTP client features. It loads an explicitly supplied local runtime library and
-disables runtime telemetry. Tokenization is sequential; ONNX sessions use
-sequential graph execution with bounded intra-op threads and one inter-op thread.
-
-## Reproduce on Windows
-
-Run these commands from the repository root. Provisioning commands intentionally
-use the network; the inference command does not provision anything.
-
-```powershell
-python -m venv tools/semantic-proof/.venv
-& tools/semantic-proof/.venv/Scripts/python.exe -m pip install --only-binary=:all: -r tools/semantic-proof/requirements.txt
-& tools/semantic-proof/.venv/Scripts/python.exe tools/semantic-proof/download.py
-& tools/semantic-proof/.venv/Scripts/python.exe tools/semantic-proof/proof.py --threads 1 --output tools/semantic-proof/windows-cpu-result.json
-```
-
-On Linux/macOS, use `.venv/bin/python` instead of `.venv/Scripts/python.exe`.
-These instructions have only been executed on Windows. Wheel availability and
-native library distribution must be checked on other platforms.
-
-`download.py` downloads exactly two revision-pinned artifacts, streams them to a
-temporary file, rejects oversized downloads, checks byte length and SHA256, then
-atomically replaces the local asset. Assets occupy approximately 136 MB in
-decimal units and are ignored by Git. Inference validates both files again and
-fails clearly when either is missing or damaged. It never contacts the model
-hub. The Python proof sets offline environment flags and rejects Python socket
-connect, name-resolution, and bind audit events throughout import and inference.
-This guard checks Python socket activity; it is not an operating-system firewall
-against arbitrary native libraries.
-
-The proof intentionally exits nonzero if any fixture query misses top-1. Its
-JSON report is written before the quality gate, preserving failures for review.
-
-## Pinned artifacts and licensing
-
-Revision: `2c4055b12046f11709e9df2c122e59ffbdc2f900`.
-The manifest in `tools/semantic-proof/model-manifest.json` records the same
-model contract and hashes used by the native adapter.
+The Windows worker links a static MSVC CRT and static llama libraries, without
+an external OpenMP runtime. Production CMake supports cpu, auto, metal, vulkan,
+and cuda; CPU builds force GPU flags off. Runtime/provider parity and packaging
+on other operating systems remain independent release checks.

+## Shared API and bounds
+
+GemmaEmbedder owns actual tokenization, document/query prompts, and inference.
+HybridSearch is the shared CLI/desktop service:
+
+~~~rust
+HybridSearch::open(db, model_dir, worker_executable, threads)
+HybridSearch::embedding_status(db) // No model/runtime load or network
+service.warmup()                  // Real query inference + ANN cache
+service.index_embeddings()
+service.search(query, limit, &SearchOptions)
+service.search_semantic(query, limit, &SearchOptions) // Diagnostics
+service.worker_info()             // Actual model/runtime/device/threads
+~~~
+
+Threads are bounded to 1–8; VM tests use one. Document batches contain at most
+eight windows. Request/response budgets are 2/4 MiB, startup has a 120-second
+deadline, and each request has a 180-second deadline. Malformed or interrupted
+IPC and invalid embeddings fail explicitly.
+
+The service makes 64 KiB UTF-8 slices with 512-byte overlap before genuine model
+token windows. It preserves global byte ranges and page/paragraph/line sources,
+handles 2 MiB passages, caps each passage at 2048 windows, and bounds titles to
+512 UTF-8 bytes. Generation fingerprints include this chunk policy as well as
+model/runtime/prompts/token budgets/normalization.
+
+Keep a prewarmed query service and a separate background builder. Readiness
+requires actual inference, rather than merely finding verified model files.
+
+## Persistence, ANN, and ranking
+
+Semantic storage has an independent schema version within the shared SQLite
+database. Chunks store generation, passage/path identity, original-source hash,
+location, byte range, snippet, and vector. HNSW uses USearch 2.26.4, cosine/F32,
+16 connections, construction expansion 128, and search expansion 64. NumKong
+dispatches supported CPU SIMD kernels with portable fallback. The Cargo config
+contains the Windows NK_DYNAMIC override required for static NumKong linkage.
+
+Staging vectors and a real HNSW graph are persisted with an ANN blob SHA256.
+Activation is atomic. Failed rebuilds preserve the active generation; the next
+rebuild reclaims abandoned staging under a cross-process lock. Search uses a
+consistent read snapshot.
+
+Metadata filters and source hashes establish eligible keys before ANN top-k.
+The cache is keyed by generation, corpus revision, and normalized filters.
+Persistent dirty-path triggers invalidate affected files; unchanged warm
+queries hash zero passages. Large change batches or expired history rebuild
+eligibility. Default-filter prewarm includes that initial work.
+
+Fusion uses reciprocal-rank fusion with k = 60. Exact filenames and literal
+identifiers retain priority. Ordinary partial filenames receive lexical
+weight 1.15 and can be outranked by keyword/semantic consensus. File results
+retain source snippets and deterministic path tie breaks.
+
+Current caps are 100,000 chunks and a 512 MiB serialized ANN blob per generation.
+Full rebuilds still regenerate embeddings and the graph. Incremental reuse/jobs
+and efficient ANN updates remain production work. One million filename records
+does not imply one million semantic chunks under these defaults.
+
+## Executed Windows CPU evidence
+
+Actual Google CPU vectors match five pinned DigUp text references at cosine
+**0.99979–0.99994**, exceeding the 0.999 gate. These cover English, Bengali,
+Arabic, a short document, and a document beyond the sliding attention window.
+Actual tests also cover English/German retrieval, persisted vectors, changed/
+deleted-source suppression, verified long windows, and a tail **after 64 KiB**.
+
+The immutable 20-document/24-query seed corpus produced:
+
+| Lane | Top 1 | Recall at 3 |
+| --- | ---: | ---: |
+| Lexical | 5/24 | 5/24 |
+| Google semantic | 24/24 | 24/24 |
+| Hybrid HNSW | 24/24 | 24/24 |
+
+With one CPU thread, fresh model/context startup took approximately **7 seconds
+in the background**, actual query/ANN prewarm **128 ms**, and first foreground
+natural-language search **99 ms** with the correct supplier document first.
+Warm seed-corpus hybrid p50/p95 was **92/107 ms**. Model downloads are excluded.
+
+A separate release-profile benchmark used 100,000 synthetic normalized 768-dimensional
+vectors and 20 queries against exact nearest neighbors:
 
 | Metric | Measurement |
 | --- | ---: |
-| Fixture documents / queries | 8 / 6 |
-| Timed warm query runs | 60 |
-| Artifact verification plus runtime/model load | approximately 3.4 seconds |
-| Corpus batch embedding | approximately 145 ms |
-| Warm query p50 / p95 | approximately 3.1 / 11.9 ms |
-| Top-1 accuracy | 5/6 (83.3%) |
-| Recall at 3 | 6/6 (100%) |
+| Recall at 10 vs exact | 98.5% |
+| HNSW query p95 | 1.37 ms |
+| Warm service retrieval p95 | 6.40 ms |
+| Warm passages rehashed | 0 |
+| Initial eligibility work | 1.61 seconds |
+| Graph construction/serialization | 57.95 seconds |
+| Reported graph memory | 554 MB |
+| Dispatched CPU kernel | skylake |
 
-The corpus includes English and German documents, same-language semantic
-queries, and cross-language queries. A question about a postponed product
-release ranks the supplier contract above the expected meeting notes. That
-failure remains in the fixture and blocks the strict top-1 quality gate.
-This small demonstration supports the feasibility of CPU inference; it does
-not establish large-corpus latency, robust multilingual quality, or production
-readiness. Quantization and batch shape can affect similarity scores.
+This is **index-only performance**, not neural quality across 100,000 documents.
+The seed corpus and synthetic vectors do not certify production relevance.
+Representative corpora, cold/selective-filter latency, concurrent indexing,
+resource profiles, GPU parity/fallback, multimodal retrieval, and platform
+releases remain validation gates.

-It does not replace the strict production quality gate.

-The native real-artifact smoke was executed successfully on the Windows VM,

-at three. Three default unit tests passed; targeted Clippy passed with warnings
-denied. Linux and macOS native checks have not been executed.
-
-The next integration should read bounded `SearchIndex::passage_batch` rows,
-split long passages into overlapping tokenizer windows, preserve source page or
-paragraph locations, and persist each vector with a content fingerprint and
-`MODEL_FINGERPRINT`. Passage IDs are not immutable content identities: changes
-must invalidate stale vectors. Queries should combine lexical and semantic
-retrieval while preserving exact filename priority. Model upgrades build a
-separate vector generation before an atomic swap. Cancellation, persistent
-embedding jobs, ANN retrieval, representative quality corpora, and signed
-cross-platform runtime packaging are still required.
+The ignored ANN test deliberately requires release mode. Default tests require
+no model/network and cover protocol bounds, invalid vectors, UTF-8 coverage,
+fusion, lifecycle, checksums, pre-top-k filtering, and dirty-path caching.
+Linux/macOS and GPU checks are not inferred from this Windows CPU run.

+# Retrieval regression corpus
+
+This synthetic seed corpus contains 20 documents and 24 predetermined queries:
+exact filenames, error/invoice identifiers, remembered concepts and English/German
+cross-language retrieval. Each query labels one expected file. Supplier-contract
+termination and meeting cancellation deliberately share words but differ in intent.
+
+Report top-1 accuracy, recall@10, per-query rank and latency. Keep failures in
+reports; do not rewrite expected answers or remove difficult queries to make a
+model pass. Evaluate lexical, semantic and hybrid modes on the same corpus.
+
+This corpus is a regression fixture, not a representative user dataset. Production
+quality needs a larger independently labelled corpus, varied document lengths,
+PDF/OCR/media cases, ambiguous/no-answer queries and measured filter correctness.

+# CPU semantic inference proof
+
+**Historical experiment, not the accepted Searchi backend.** The user requires
+Google EmbeddingGemma 2 as used by DigUp. MiniLM results below establish only
+runtime plumbing and must not be presented as completed product semantic search.
+The implementation is being corrected to use the required Google model.
+
+This milestone runs genuine neural embeddings locally. It does not yet connect
+semantic vectors to the SQLite search index or desktop interface. Production
+retrieval quality, large-corpus performance, and Linux/macOS runtime packaging
+remain unverified.
+
+## Model and runtime decision
+
+The first working baseline is the quantized ONNX export of
+`sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2`, published by
+`Xenova`. The upstream model card describes 384-dimensional text embeddings,
+attention-mask mean pooling, a 128-token maximum, and Apache-2.0 licensing.
+It covers multiple languages. This is a text-only baseline; it does not claim
+EmbeddingGemma 2's multimodal features or compatibility.
+
+Sources reviewed on 2026-10-12:

+
+Inference explicitly selects `CPUExecutionProvider`. Python uses the CPU
+`onnxruntime` wheel, never `onnxruntime-gpu`. The native Rust crate disables ort
+default features: there are no binary downloads, GPU provider features, or model
+HTTP client features. It loads an explicitly supplied local runtime library and
+disables runtime telemetry. Tokenization is sequential; ONNX sessions use
+sequential graph execution with bounded intra-op threads and one inter-op thread.
+
+## Reproduce on Windows
+
+Run these commands from the repository root. Provisioning commands intentionally
+use the network; the inference command does not provision anything.
+
+```powershell
+python -m venv tools/semantic-proof/.venv
+& tools/semantic-proof/.venv/Scripts/python.exe -m pip install --only-binary=:all: -r tools/semantic-proof/requirements.txt
+& tools/semantic-proof/.venv/Scripts/python.exe tools/semantic-proof/download.py
+& tools/semantic-proof/.venv/Scripts/python.exe tools/semantic-proof/proof.py --threads 1 --output tools/semantic-proof/windows-cpu-result.json
+```
+
+On Linux/macOS, use `.venv/bin/python` instead of `.venv/Scripts/python.exe`.
+These instructions have only been executed on Windows. Wheel availability and
+native library distribution must be checked on other platforms.
+
+`download.py` downloads exactly two revision-pinned artifacts, streams them to a
+temporary file, rejects oversized downloads, checks byte length and SHA256, then
+atomically replaces the local asset. Assets occupy approximately 136 MB in
+decimal units and are ignored by Git. Inference validates both files again and
+fails clearly when either is missing or damaged. It never contacts the model
+hub. The Python proof sets offline environment flags and rejects Python socket
+connect, name-resolution, and bind audit events throughout import and inference.
+This guard checks Python socket activity; it is not an operating-system firewall
+against arbitrary native libraries.
+
+The proof intentionally exits nonzero if any fixture query misses top-1. Its
+JSON report is written before the quality gate, preserving failures for review.
+
+## Pinned artifacts and licensing
+
+Revision: `2c4055b12046f11709e9df2c122e59ffbdc2f900`.
+The manifest in `tools/semantic-proof/model-manifest.json` records the same
+model contract and hashes used by the native adapter.
+
+| Artifact | Bytes | SHA256 |
+| --- | ---: | --- |
+| `onnx/model_quantized.onnx` | 118,308,126 | `66fc00f5f29afcaff34092e1bdd20008ca3918265a82fb9695a551e510cc4ebc` |
+| `tokenizer.json` | 17,082,913 | `b60b6b43406a48bf3638526314f3d232d97058bc93472ff2de930d43686fa441` |
+
+The base model card specifies Apache-2.0. The export card identifies that base
+model but does not display its own license declaration. Before redistributing
+the ONNX export in installers, confirm export licensing and preserve the base
+license, attribution, and applicable notices. Current code explicitly downloads
+user-local assets and does not ship model weights or runtime DLLs in Git.
+ONNX Runtime uses MIT licensing; ort uses MIT or Apache-2.0 and tokenizers uses
+Apache-2.0. Release packaging must retain third-party notices and validate
+platform-specific runtime hashes independently; a model hash does not attest
+to the runtime library.
+
+The tested Windows ONNX Runtime 1.31.0 DLL is 19,288,888 bytes with SHA256
+`90497e3d406c09f4d59d364c696a2f93dc02f6ef13741b3b89eec95bdb4a3806`.
+The adapter currently trusts the explicitly supplied runtime path; it validates
+model hashes, not runtime-library hashes. A release distribution must add a
+platform runtime manifest before shipping. `requirements-lock-windows.txt`
+captures the exact Python environment used for this proof.
+
+## Measured Windows VM result
+
+`tools/semantic-proof/windows-cpu-result.json` contains the full measurement and
+rankings. The run used Windows 11 AMD64, Python 3.14.8, ONNX Runtime 1.31.0,
+four visible logical CPUs, and **one inference thread with only the CPU provider**.
+
+| Metric | Measurement |
+| --- | ---: |
+| Fixture documents / queries | 8 / 6 |
+| Timed warm query runs | 60 |
+| Artifact verification plus runtime/model load | approximately 3.4 seconds |
+| Corpus batch embedding | approximately 145 ms |
+| Warm query p50 / p95 | approximately 3.1 / 11.9 ms |
+| Top-1 accuracy | 5/6 (83.3%) |
+| Recall at 3 | 6/6 (100%) |
+
+The corpus includes English and German documents, same-language semantic
+queries, and cross-language queries. A question about a postponed product
+release ranks the supplier contract above the expected meeting notes. That
+failure remains in the fixture and blocks the strict top-1 quality gate.
+This small demonstration supports the feasibility of CPU inference; it does
+not establish large-corpus latency, robust multilingual quality, or production
+readiness. Quantization and batch shape can affect similarity scores.
+
+## Native integration contract
+
+`searchi-semantic` exposes:
+
+```rust
+CpuEmbedder::load(model_dir, runtime_library, threads) -> Result<CpuEmbedder>
+CpuEmbedder::encode(&mut self, texts: &[&str]) -> Result<Vec<Vec<f32>>>
+DIMENSIONS // 384
+MODEL_FINGERPRINT // revision + quantization + pooling + normalization + token cap
+```
+
+Inputs are bounded to eight texts per batch, 64 KiB UTF-8 per text, and 128
+tokens. Outputs are finite, normalized `f32` vectors. The runtime library is
+process-global; adapter initialization rejects attempts to switch libraries or
+silently accept an environment initialized outside the adapter. Supply a known,
+trusted runtime before calling any other ort APIs in the process.
+
+Default unit tests need no model or runtime. The real-artifact test is opt-in:
+
+```powershell
+$env:SEARCHI_MODEL_DIR = (Resolve-Path tools/semantic-proof/model).Path
+$env:SEARCHI_ORT_LIBRARY = (Resolve-Path tools/semantic-proof/.venv/Lib/site-packages/onnxruntime/capi/onnxruntime.dll).Path
+cargo test -p searchi-semantic --test cpu_model -- --ignored --nocapture
+```
+
+The smoke test checks actual local inference, vector normalization, English and
+German retrieval, recall at three, and the measured five-of-six top-1 baseline.
+It does not replace the strict production quality gate.
+
+The native real-artifact smoke was executed successfully on the Windows VM,
+using that CPU-only DLL. It reproduced five-of-six top-1 and six-of-six recall
+at three. Three default unit tests passed; targeted Clippy passed with warnings
+denied. Linux and macOS native checks have not been executed.
+
+The next integration should read bounded `SearchIndex::passage_batch` rows,
+split long passages into overlapping tokenizer windows, preserve source page or
+paragraph locations, and persist each vector with a content fingerprint and
+`MODEL_FINGERPRINT`. Passage IDs are not immutable content identities: changes
+must invalidate stale vectors. Queries should combine lexical and semantic
+retrieval while preserving exact filename priority. Model upgrades build a
+separate vector generation before an atomic swap. Cancellation, persistent
+embedding jobs, ANN retrieval, representative quality corpora, and signed
+cross-platform runtime packaging are still required.
