recall.rs

//! `recall` — a short list of pointers to the graph nodes a prompt names.
//!
//! The engine behind `mushroomdb recall`'s hook body and the `recall` MCP
//! tool alike: the identifiers in a prompt, searched as phrases across every
//! indexed field, reduced to at most a handful of nodes and one line each —
//! `path:line symbol — first doc line`, the pointer a reader can open. Raw
//! text goes in: turning it into terms is [`identifier_terms`]'s job, and it
//! lives here rather than in each caller because the hook body and the
//! `recall` MCP tool search the same index and must not disagree about what a
//! prompt means.
//!
//! # Saying nothing
//!
//! This digest is printed before every user prompt, so the question of when
//! *not* to print it is as load-bearing as the content. Two guards answer it,
//! and either one is enough to fall silent: [`identifier_terms`] is empty for
//! a prompt that names nothing code-shaped, and [`recall_digest`] returns an
//! empty string when no identifier's own phrase can clear [`MIN_HIT_SCORE`].
//! Both produce the empty string, which every caller prints nothing for — no
//! framing line, no header, no pointers.
//!
//! # Saying nothing more
//!
//! The digest closes where its last pointer does. It used to add a line
//! telling the assistant to query the MCP tools before answering; the session
//! brief says that once, at the start of the session, and repeating it before
//! every prompt spends the budget this digest exists to spend on pointers.
