kami 11831c6ace Gate recall on the margin over the runner-up, not just the score
The e5 embedder puts every cosine in one narrow band (0.79-0.89), so the
absolute query_min_score gate cannot tell a real hit from a made-up
question: any value under the band answers everything, any value above it
answers nothing. False recall was 5/5.

New gate asks whether one note is clearly the best instead: top1 - top2 >
delta. New query_min_margin config knob, default 0.008, read off the sweep
in the recall harness. The absolute floor stays as a second check.

On the recall fixture with e5: answered 72% -> 68%, false recall 5/5 -> 1/5.
