fused_recall.rs

1//! [`MemoryService::recall_fused`]: vector recall combined with the graph
2//! reach `why()` already walks, re-ranked by [`crate::fusion::fuse`]. Split
3//! out of `service.rs` to keep that file under the crate's NLOC budget; a
4//! child module of `service`, so it freely uses `MemoryService`'s private
5//! fields and methods (`traverse`, `search`, `HUB_FIELD`, …).

382/// The oversampled candidate pool depth for a `k`-sized fused recall:
383/// `opts.pool` if the caller set one (floored at 1), else the proven default
384/// ([`fusion::pool_size`]) — either way, capped at
385/// [`crate::limits::MAX_RECALL_LIMIT`], the same `DoS` ceiling `k`/`hops`
386/// carry. Both bounds live here, not at each binding's FFI boundary:
387/// - the floor of 1 stops an explicit `pool` of 0 (a binding now exposes the
388///   knob: `options={"pool": 0}` in Python) from oversampling *zero* candidates
389///   and returning nothing. A caller can still deliberately narrow the pool
390///   below the default (e.g. `pool: 1` to admit only the top vector hit — the
391///   documented behavior fusion's tests pin); the floor only rules out the
392///   degenerate empty-set case, it does not force a minimum recall depth.
393/// - the cap bounds the default too: `k.saturating_mul(8)` exceeds the limit
394///   well before `k` itself does, so even a caller who never touches `pool` is
395///   bounded.
