feat(search): serve hybrid retrieval to MCP style search - #46
Conversation
Add GET /api/search running BM25 + vector + RRF over the curated catalog, degrading to keyword-only when the embedding key or vector index is missing. searchStylesLive now ranks queries through it and falls back to the bundled scorer; the MCP search tool reports which ranker answered.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds a server-side hybrid style-search endpoint backed by a retrieval service. Remote discovery uses the endpoint’s ranking for non-empty queries and falls back to local scoring when ranking is unavailable. Discovery metadata and MCP output can include the ranking mode.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new search endpoint and its client fallbacks work safely. Unless the release process ships the vector index, production search will quietly run in keyword-only mode instead of hybrid mode. The change can merge, but add a deployment step that builds and ships the index so semantic ranking actually takes effect. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Ship the vector index with production deployments.
openVectorStore reads .data/style-vectors.json relative to the process working directory. The documented ECS deployment syncs the checkout and .next directory, but .data/ is gitignored. The build script does not run build-style-index, and CI does not generate or upload the index. Unless the release process separately creates and copies .data/style-vectors.json to /www/stylekit/.data/, the read returns an empty store, staticDegrade becomes "no-store", and queries use keyword mode.
Add an explicit release step to generate the index and copy it with the deployment artifact. The index must use DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_MODEL and DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS.
The output-file-tracing concern does not apply to the documented ECS deployment, which runs next start from the synchronized application directory.

Degrades to keyword-only whenDASHSCOPE_API_KEYor.data/style-vectors.jsonis missing, the index is stale, or query embedding exceeds 1.5s; responsemodesays which path answered. Rate limited (60/min), query capped at 200 chars, per-query cache.stylekit-coresearchStylesLive: queries are ranked via/api/search, then joined to the live catalogue with category filter/limit applied.
