Summary

This PR brings the full retrieval improvement pipeline from dev into main,
achieving 57.5% overall accuracy on LoCoMo (n=1540) — up from 46.6% in v2.

What Changed

Jina Neural Reranker

  • Over-fetch top_k×3 candidates from Qdrant vector search
  • Rerank via Jina Reranker v2 API before answer generation
  • Exponential backoff on 429 rate limits, graceful fallback on 403
  • Adds jina_api_key to Settings, httpx to retrieval dependencies

Prompt Tuning

  • Category 4 (open-domain) uses unconstrained answer prompt
  • Recovers open-domain regression: 47.3% → 62.0%

Reproducibility

  • Set temperature=0 in AzureService.complete() and complete_with_tool()
  • Improved judge date proximity rule (+0.2pp overall)
  • Added eval/rejudge_temporal.py for surgical re-judging

Docs

  • Updated README with SOTA comparison table
  • Added Mermaid pipeline and retrieval architecture diagrams
  • Streamlined README for research audience
  • Added citation block and Apache 2.0 LICENSE
