@@ -675,11 +675,25 @@ world questions, so she needs to read external sources. What replaces it:
`wikipedia_ru_all_maxi_2026-02` verbatim** through `kiwix.book_ru`. The RU→EN rewriter
is the workaround for an English book and is skipped there. Kiwix catalog names come
from the filename, not the `<name>` field.
**That verbatim path sent the whole sentence to a keyword engine until 09-08-2026**
(V-668, `docs/evals/2026-08-09-kiwix-topic-retrieval.md`). Kiwix ranks by keyword
overlap, so the question words outrank the one word naming the article. "что такое TCP"
returned "Перехват TCP-соединения". "кто написал Войну и мир" returned an episode of
Doctor Who. `kiwix.Topic` drops the narrative request, the interrogative and a verb
behind one. `kiwix.TitlePath` tries the exact article first, since a ZIM is addressable
by title and a wrong title is a 404. Four of eight questions reach the right article
where they did not, two were already right, and nothing regressed. Both apply on the
verbatim path alone. The rewriter already reduces a question, and reducing twice takes
the topic off its input.
`Response.Empty()` is the whole gate and there is no quality threshold in front of it:
the three signals one could read were measured on 2026-08-05 and none of them separate a
real question from an invented one. Token overlap would cost "столица Франции" its
answer, because the answer is Париж and that word is not in the question. See
`docs/evals/2026-08-05-search-quality-signals.md` (V-539). **Which query source claimed
`docs/evals/2026-08-05-search-quality-signals.md` (V-539). **The embedder is not a
fourth signal**, measured 2026-08-09 (V-668). Query-to-passage cosine scores 0.79 to
0.91 on answerable questions and 0.75 to 0.84 on unanswerable ones, and the sets
overlap. The wrong TCP article scored 0.8653, above five of six unanswerable rows. It
measures topic and not whether the passage answers, so no threshold splits them. **Which query source claimed
a turn is readable on `/chat`** as a badge beside the reply, carried on
`ipc.ChatReply.Source` and noted by `noteQuerySource` in `cmd/mavend/querysource.go`. It
rides the context, so `handleText` keeps the one string signature the mic, telegram and
