| 2 | + |
| 3 | +**Status**: Validated |
| 4 | +**Date**: 2026-05-25 |
| 5 | +**Branch**: `task/1873-fffindexer-middleware` |
| 6 | +**Phase**: Phase 5 (Disciplined Validation) |
| 7 | +**Phase 1 Doc**: `.docs/research-kg-scorer-review-fixes.md` |
| 8 | +**Phase 2 Doc**: `.docs/design-kg-scorer-review-fixes.md` |
| 9 | +**Phase 4 Doc**: `.docs/verification-kg-scorer-review-fixes.md` |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Executive Summary |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The implementation satisfies all original requirements from Phase 1 research. The two P2 review findings are resolved with behavioural evidence. Non-functional requirements are met: no overhead for non-TG roles, graceful degradation for empty thesaurus, no regression in existing behaviour. All 9 acceptance criteria pass, all 5 E2E scenarios pass. |

| 15 | +## NFR Validation |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### From Phase 1 Research |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +| NFR | Target | Evidence | Status | |
| 20 | +|-----|--------|----------|--------| |
| 21 | +| Behavioural proof: test fails if scorer injection removed | Test with 201+ matching files, KG-boosted file observable within page_limit: 200 | `test_search_haystacks_kg_scorer_boosts_priority_file_above_page_limit`: 200 neutral + 1 priority file; priority file appears only when KG scorer is injected | PASS | |
| 22 | +| Per-search scorer construction: avoid repeated clone/rebuild within one invocation | Helper called once, before haystack loop | `kg_scorer_for_role()` at `mod.rs:25-42`; called exactly once at `mod.rs:77`; lock held only during thesaurus clone | PASS | |
| 23 | +| Compatibility: existing tests pass | All existing tests pass | 19/19 fff_indexer tests pass; full middleware suite passes | PASS | |
| 24 | +| Graceful degradation: empty thesaurus | Default behaviour | `test_search_haystacks_empty_thesaurus_no_scorer` confirms | PASS | |
| 25 | +| No overhead for non-TG roles | `is_some_and()` O(1) check; scorer not built | `test_search_haystacks_no_scorer_for_title_scorer_role` confirms | PASS | |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Acceptance Criteria |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +| AC# | Criterion | Evidence | Status | |
| 30 | +|-----|-----------|----------|--------| |
| 31 | +| AC-1 | TerraphimGraph role + thesaurus => scorer injected | `test_search_haystacks_injects_kg_scorer_for_terraphim_graph_role` | PASS | |
| 32 | +| AC-2 | TitleScorer role => no scorer injected | `test_search_haystacks_no_scorer_for_title_scorer_role` | PASS | |
| 33 | +| AC-3 | Empty thesaurus => graceful degradation | `test_search_haystacks_empty_thesaurus_no_scorer` | PASS | |
| 34 | +| AC-4 | Scorer data matches RoleGraph | `test_search_haystacks_kg_scorer_preserves_thesaurus_data` | PASS | |
| 35 | +| AC-5 | No regressions | All 19 tests pass | PASS | |
| 36 | +| AC-6 | Log reflects actual extensions | `fff.rs:236-241` (fixed in previous commit) | PASS | |
| 37 | +| AC-7 | Stateful path (cache bypass) | `test_fff_with_kg_scorer_uses_stateful_path` | PASS | |
| 38 | +| AC-8 | State preserved | `test_fff_with_kg_scorer_state_is_not_discarded` | PASS | |
| 39 | +| AC-9 | KG scoring changes paginated result set | `test_search_haystacks_kg_scorer_boosts_priority_file_above_page_limit` | PASS | |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +**Result: 9/9 PASS** |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## E2E System Test Scenarios |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +| ID | Workflow | Test | Evidence | Status | |
| 46 | +|----|----------|------|----------|--------| |
| 47 | +| E2E-1 | TG role + thesaurus => scorer injected, results returned | `test_search_haystacks_injects_kg_scorer_for_terraphim_graph_role` | Creates RoleGraphSync with thesaurus; search succeeds; results non-empty | PASS | |
| 48 | +| E2E-2 | TitleScorer => no scorer, results returned | `test_search_haystacks_no_scorer_for_title_scorer_role` | Uses TitleScorer role; search succeeds; results non-empty | PASS | |
| 49 | +| E2E-3 | Empty thesaurus => graceful fallback | `test_search_haystacks_empty_thesaurus_no_scorer` | KGTest role with no RoleGraphSync inserted; search succeeds | PASS | |
| 50 | +| E2E-4 | Scorer data provenance from RoleGraph | `test_search_haystacks_kg_scorer_preserves_thesaurus_data` | Scorer built with id=42 term; verified produces results | PASS | |
| 51 | +| E2E-5 | KG scorer changes which file appears within page_limit: 200 | `test_search_haystacks_kg_scorer_boosts_priority_file_above_page_limit` | 200 neutral + 1 priority file; priority file verified present only when TG scorer active | PASS | |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +**Result: 5/5 PASS** |
| 54 | + |

| 79 | +## Review Finding Validation |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +| Finding | Resolution | Validation | |
| 82 | +|---------|------------|-----------| |
| 83 | +| P2: "tests prove results but not that KG sorting changes observable behaviour" | `test_search_haystacks_kg_scorer_boosts_priority_file_above_page_limit`: 201 files, `page_limit: 200`, thesaurus-only-matches priority path; priority file observed in results only with KG scorer | Test PASS — priority file observed only with scorer | |
| 84 | +| P2: "per-search thesaurus clone" | `kg_scorer_for_role()` helper at `mod.rs:25-42`; called exactly once; lock held only during clone | Test PASS — existing tests + code inspection confirms one-call pattern | |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +## Phase 1 Research Requirements vs Implementation |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +| Requirement (Phase 1) | Implementation | Validation | |
| 89 | +|----------------------|---------------|-----------| |
| 90 | +| "A test fails if KG path scoring is removed from the search_haystacks() path" | `test_search_haystacks_kg_scorer_boosts_priority_file_above_page_limit`: scorer removed → priority file absent from results | Test verifies priority file only appears with scorer | |
| 91 | +| "The test demonstrates ordering or pagination effects, not merely non-empty search output" | Same test: 201 files, page_limit=200, KG-boosted file position changes observable set | Test verifies priority file present within page_limit only with scorer | |
| 92 | +| "search_haystacks() avoids rebuilding/cloning the scorer more than necessary within a single search invocation" | `kg_scorer_for_role()` called once at `mod.rs:77`; scorer Arc'd and used for all haystacks | Code inspection + existing tests confirm | |
| 93 | +| "Existing non-TerraphimGraph and empty-thesaurus behaviours remain unchanged" | `test_search_haystacks_no_scorer_for_title_scorer_role`, `test_search_haystacks_empty_thesaurus_no_scorer` | Both PASS | |
