//! Two-stage hybrid recall. Stage 1: a cheap gate decides whether retrieval is
//! worth running at all (zero-cost skip on an empty/irrelevant query). Stage 2:
//! brute-force cosine top-k over the union of the requested scopes, then a
//! recency/supersession rerank. Returns real stored records — never neural
//! reconstructions.
