One stride over file order, truncated to the probe count, dropped the
tail of the suite: a 300-probe sample held 128 code, 86 pdf, 36
screenshot, 26 image and 24 video queries and no conversation query at
all, so every report built from it measured five of six modalities.
The budget is now split by suite weight with a floor of one probe per
modality, and a test pins that the frozen sample covers all six.
The set's question type rides along on each query, and a second metric
asks the question recall@10 cannot: when the answer lives in several
dated memories, did the newest come back first? A knowledge-update
question scores 1.000 on recall while the ranking still leads with the
value the speaker has since replaced, and that is the failure the next
task is meant to fix.
- bench/ingest_baseline.py drives the unmodified product IngestionService over
all 50,789 corpus files in sharded SQLite DBs, then merges them. Thread and
memory ceilings are set explicitly: ONNX Runtime defaulted to every core
(95 threads/worker, load 490) and its CPU arena kept freed pages mapped,
which OOM-killed workers.
- bench/metrics.py: recall@k, MRR, nDCG@10, Wilson lower bound, chance
baseline. No model, no product import, so the scorer cannot grade itself.
- bench/systems.py + bench/run.py: the five ablation arms over the merged DB,
latency percentiles, scale curve, and a top-10 equivalence check against the
live RetrievalService.
- bench/counterpart.py + bench/run_external.py: in-repo Mem0-style flat store
and Zep-style temporal store as the external reference point.
- bench/audit.py: enforces single-attempt scoring, frozen n, a chance row
beside every score, and producer != verifier. It already flags the product's
retry-until-target loop at backend/src/ely_eye/evals.py:2351.
- backend/pyproject.toml: rapidocr-onnxruntime>=1.4.4 was unsatisfiable
(PyPI maxes at 1.2.3); the successor is the renamed rapidocr package.
